foreshadowing- an age of settled peace
and good will. More and more readily
"ach decade do the nations manifest their
willingness to bind themselves by solemn
treaty to the .processes of' peace, the pro
cesses of frankness and fair concessions.
So far the United States has stood at the
front of such negotiations. It will, I
earnestly hope and confidently believe,
fclv.e fresh proof of Jts sincere adherence
to the cause of International friendship by
ratifying tho several treaties of arbitra
tion awaiting renewitf by the senate. In
addition to these, It has been the prlv
Hge of the Department of State to gain
the assent. In principle, of no less than
thirty-one nations, representing four
fifths of the population of the world, to
the negotiation of treaties by which It
shall be agreed that whenever differences
of Interests or of policy arise which can
not be resolved by the ordinary process
of diplomacy they shall be publicly an
alyzed, discussed and reported upon by
a tribunal cftosen by the partly before
either natl6n determines Its course of

Hucrtn. n Menace.
There Is but one cloud upon our horizon.
That has, shown Itself to the south of
us, and hangs over Mexico. There can
be no certain prospect of peace in Amer
ica until General Hue: to, has surrendered
his usurped authority In Mexico; until
It Is understood on all hands, Indeed, that
such pretended governments will not be
countenanced or dealt with by the gov
ernment of the. United States. We are
tho friends of constitutional government
In America; we are more than ItH friends,
wa are Its champions; because In no other
way can our neighbors, to whom '.vo would
wish In every way to make proof of our
friendship, work out their own develop- j
ment In peace and liberty. Mexico has
no government. The attempt to main
tain ono at the City of Mexico has broken
down, and a mere military despotism ha
been set up which has hardly more than
the semblance of national authority. li
originated In the usurpation of Vlctorlano
Hucrta, who, after a brief attempt to
play the part of constitutional president,
has at last cast aside even the pretense
of legal right and declared himself dic
tator. As a consequence, a condition ot
affolrs no,w exists In Mexico which has
made It doubtful whether even the most
elementary and fundamental rights either
of Its own people or of the citizens or
other countries resident within Its terri
tory can long be successfully safeguarded,
and which threatens, If long continued,
to Imperil the Interests of pence, order
and tolerable life In the lands immedi
ately to the smith of us. Evm If the
usurper had succeeded In hU ourposes.
In despite of the constitution of the re
public and the rights of Its people, he
would have set up nothing tut a pre
carious and hateful power, which could
have lasted but a little while, and whose
eventual downfall would have left the
country In a more deplorable condition
than ever Hut lie has not succeeded.
lie has forfeited the respect apd the
moral support even of those who were at
one time willing to see him succeed. Little
by little he has been completely Isolated.
Ily a little every day his power and
prestige are crumbling and the collapse
Is not far away. We shall not, I be
lieve, be obliged to alter our policy of
watchful waiting. And then, when the
end comes, we shall hope to see consti
tutional order restored In distressed
Mexico by the concert and energy of
such of its leaders as prefer the liberty
of their people to their own ambitions,
ntjti for Cnrrciicj
I turn to matters of domestic concern.
You already have under consideration a
bill for the reform ot our system of bank
ing and currency, for which the country
waits with Impatience, as for something
fundamental to Its whole business life
and necessary to set credit free from ar
bitrary and artificial restraints. I need
not say how earnestly I hope for Its early
enactment Into law. I take leave to beg
that the whole energy and attention of
the senate be concentrated upon It till
the matter Is successfully disposed of.
And yet I feel that the request Is not
needed that the members of that great
house need no urging In this service to
the country.
I preaent to you. In addition, the urgent
necessity that special provision be made
I also Tor facilitating the credits needed
d me farmers ot the country. Ths pend
ing currency bill does the farmers a
great service. It puts them upon an
equal footing with other business men
and masters of enterprise, as It should,
and upon Its passage they will find them
selves quit
which now hamper them in the field of
credit. The farmers, of course, ask and
should ba given no special privilege stich
as extending to them the credit ot the
government itself, what they need and
should obtain Is legislation which will
make their own abundant and substantial
credit resources available as a foundation
for Jo(nt. concerted local action In their
own behalf .In getting tho capital they
must use. It Is to this we should now
address ourselves.
Farmers Need (be Aid.
It has, singularly enough, come to pass
that we have allowed the industry of our
farms to lag behind the other aotlvlUes
of the country in Its development. I need
not stop to tell you how fundamental to
the nation Is the production of Its food.
uur moughts may ordinarily be concen
trated upon the cll iml il,. hi....
industries, upon tho cries of the crowded
marxet place and the clangor of the fac
tory, but It Is from the nul.t ln.r.
of the open vaueys and the free hillsides
inai we draw tho sources of life and of
prosperity, from the farm and h ......t.
from the forest and the mine. Without
inese every street would bo silent, every
office deserted, even- fnetorv faiu in
disrepair. And yet the farmer does not
nana upon tho same fon'lng with the
forester and the miner in the market of
credit. He Is the eervant of tho seasons.
Nature determines how long he must
wait for his crops and will not be hur
ried In her processes. He may give his
note, but the season of Its maturity de
pends upon the season when his crop
matures, lies at the gates of the markat
where his products are sold. And the ee
curlty he gives Is of a character not
known In the broker's office or as famil
iarly as It might be on the counter of the
banker, ,
"IVtrkliur on rartnera.
The agricultural department of the gov
ernment Is seeking to assist as never be
foro to mako farming an efficient busi
ness, of wide cooperative effort. In quid;
touch with the markets for foodstuff.
The farmers and the government will
henceforth work together as real part
ners in this field, where we now begln'to
see our way very clearly and where
many Intelligent plans are already "bills
put Into execution. The treasury of the

considered distribution of Its deposits,
facilitated the moving of the crops In
the present season and prevented the
scarcity of available funds too often
perteneed at such times. Hut we mini
not allow ourselves to depend upon ex

other great countries of the modem
world In attempting to do this. Systems
of rural credit hsvc Hen studied and
developed on the other side of the water
while wo left our fa rulers to shift for
themselves In the ordlnnry money mar
ket. You have but to look about you In
any rural district to see the result, tho
handicap and embarrassment which have
been put 'upon those who produce our
food.
Comiulaslnn In Itepnrt.
Conscious ot this bacKwardness nnd
neglect on our part, the congress recently
authorized the creation of a special com-
mission to study the Various systems ot
rural credit which have been put Into
operation In Kilropc. and this commission
Is already prepared to report Its re
port ougltt to make It eusler for us to
determine what methods will bo best
suited to our ow.n farmers, t hopo and
believe that tho committees of the sen
ate and house will address themselves
to this matter with the most fruitful re
sults, nnd 1 believe that the studies and
recently formed plans or the Department
of Agrlculturo mAJ" tie made to servo
them very greatly In their work ot fram
ing appropriate and adequate legislation.
It would be Indiscreet and presumptuous
In anyone to dogmatize upon so great
and many-sided a .question, but I feel
confident that common counsel will pro
duce tho results w6 must all desire.
Clnrlfr Sherman Imw.
Turn from th farm to tho world of
business which centers In the city and In
the factory, and I think that all thought
ful observers will agree that the Immedi
ate service we owe- tho business com
munities ot the country la to prevent
private monopoly more effectually than
It has yet been prevented. I think It will
be easily agreed that we should let tho
Sherman antt-trust law stand, unaltered,
as It Is, with Its debatable around about
It. but that we should as much as pos
sible reduce the area of that debatable
ground by further and more explicit leg
islation; and we should also supplement
that great act by legislation which will
not only clarify it but alo facilitate Its
administration and make it fairer to alt
concerned. No doubt we shall all wish,
and the country wiU expect, this to bo
the central subject ot our deliberations
during the present session; but It Is a
subject so many-sided and so deserving
of careful and discriminating discussion
that I shall take the liberty of addressing
you upon It In a special message at a
later date than this. It Is ot capital Im
portance that the business men ot tho
country should be relieved of all uncer
tainties of law with regard to their en
terprises and Investments and a clear
path Indicated which they can travel
without anxiety, it Is as Important that
they should be relieved of embarrass
ment and set free to prosper as that
prlyato monopoly should) be destroyed.
Tho ways of action should be thrown
wide open. '
Presidential Primaries.
I turn to a subject which I hope can
be handled promptly and without serious
controversy of any kind. I mean tho
method of selecting, nominees for the
pteBldency of tho United States. I feo
confident that I do not misinterpret the
wishes or the expectations of the country
when I urge the prompt enactment of
legislation which will provlda for primary
elections throughout the country ut which
the voters of the several parties mny
choose their nominees for the presidency
without the Intervention of nominating
conventions. I venture tho suggestion
that this legislation should provide for
the retention ot party conventions, but
only for the purpose of declaring nnd ac
cepting the verdict of the primaries nnd
formulating the platforms nf the parties:
and I suggest that these conventions
should consist not of delegates chosen for
this single purpose, but of the nominees
for congress, the nominees for vacant
seats In the senate of the United States,
the senators whose terms have not yet
closed, the national committees, and the
candidates for the presidency themselves,
In order that piriforms may bt. framed
by those responsible to tne people for
carrying them Into effect.
Control of tiverseas I'errtlorlra.
These are all matters of vital ocmestlo
concern, nnd besides them, outstdo the
charmed circle of our own national life
In which our affections command us, as
well as our consciences, there stand out
out obligations toward our territories over
ses. Here we are trustees. Torto Rico,
Hawaii, the FMllpplner, are our. Indeed,
but not ours to do what we please with.
Such territories, ohc6 regarded as mere
possessions, are no longer to bo selfishly
exploited; 'they are part of the domain
ot public conscience rind of serviceable
and enlightened statesman-ship. We must
administer them for the peoplo who live
In them and with the same tensa of re
sponsibility to Uiem as toward our own
people in our domestic affairs, No doubt
vre shall successfully enough bind I'orto
Rico and the Hawaiian Islands to our
selves by ties of justice and Interest iand
affection, but the performance of our
duty toward the; Philippines Is a more
difficult and debatable) matter. 'Wo enn
satisfy the obligations of generous Jus
tlce toward the peoplo of Porto Rico by
giving them the ample and familiar rights
and privileges accorded our own citizens
In our own territories and our obligations
toward the people of Hawaii by perfect
ing the provisions for self-gov-jinment
already granted them, but In the Philip,
pines we must go further. We must hold,
steadily In view their ultimate Independ
ence, and we must move toward the time
of that Independence as steadily as the
way can be cleared and the foundations
thoughtfully and permanently laid.
Extending Filipino Authority.
Acting under thi authority conferred
upon the president by congress, I havrt
already accorded (he people of the Islands
a majority In both houses of their leg
islative body by appointing five instead
of four native citizens to the member
ship of the commission. I believe that
In this way we shall make proof of their
capacity In counsel and their sense of
responsibility n the exercise of political
power, and that the success of this step
will be sure to elear our view for the
steps which afe to follow. Step by steD
we should extend and perfect the sy.
tern of self-government In the Inland.
J making test of them an modifying them
aa cxi-crivn-.B discloses ineir successes
and their failures! lhat we should mart
and more put under the contrrl of the
native citizens of he archipelago (he
essential instruments of their fe, their
local Instrumentalities of government,
their schools, Alt the common Interests
of their communities, sod (9 by couflT
sel and experience set up a government
which all the world wilt see to be suit
able to a people whose affairs arc under
their own control. At last, I hopo and
bellevo we are beginning to gain the
confidence ot tho Klllplno peoples, Hy
their counsel and experience, rather than
by our own, wo shall learn how best to
eerv them nnd how soon It will be pos
sible and wlso to withdraw. our super
vision. I.ot Us once find tho path and
set out with firm and confident tread
upon it and wo shall not wander from
It or linger upon It.
Futnrf nf Alnnkn.
A duty faces us with regard to Alaska
which seems to mc very pressing nnd very
Imperative; perhaps I should say a double
duty, for it concerns both the political
and the material development ot the ter
ritory. The people of Alaska should be
given tho full territorial form of gov
ernment, and Alaska, as a storehouse,
should be unlocked. One key to it Is a
system of railways. These the govern
ment should Itself build and administer.
and tho ports and terminals It should It
self control In the Interest of all who
wish to uso them for the service and
development of tho country nnd Its peo
ple. Hut the construction of railways Is only
the first step; Is only thrusting In the
key to the storehouse and thtowlng back
the lock and opening the door. How the
tempting resources of tho country arc to
be exploited Is another matter, to which
1 shall take tho liberty ot from time
tn time catling your attention, for It Is
a policy which must bo worked out by
well considered stages, not upon theory,
but upon lines of practical expediency. It
Is pnrt of our general problem of con
servation. We have a freer hand In work
ing out tho problem in Alaska than In
the states ot tho union: nnd yet the
principal nnd object are the name, when
ever wo touch It. Wo must uso the re
sources of tho country, not lock them up.
There need bo no conflict or jealousy as
between state and federal authorities, for
thero can bo no essential difference, ot
purpose between them. Tho resources In
question must bo used, but not destroyod
or wasted; used, but not monopolized
upon any narrow idea ot Individual rights
as against tho abiding Interests ot com
munities. That a policy can be worked
out by conference and concession which
will release these) resources and yet not
Jeopard or dissipate them, I tor one
have, no doubt; and It can be done on
lines ot regulation which need he no less
acceptable to the people and governments
of the states concerned than to tho people
and government of the nation at largo,
whoso heritage these resources are. We
must bend our counsels to this end. A
common furposo ought to make agree
ment easy.
Three or four matters of special Im
portance and significance! I beg that you
will permit me to mention In closing.
Urgent Needs Apparent.
Our bureau of mines ought to be equip
ped and empowered to render even more
effectual service than tt renders now In
Improving the conditions of mine Inbor
and making the mines more economically
productive as well as more safe. This Is
an all-Important part of the work ot con
servation; and tho conservation of human
life and energy lies oven nearer to our
Interest than tho preservation from wnst5
of our material resources.
Wa owe It, In mero justice to tho rail
way employes of the country, to provide
for them a fair and effective employers'
liability act; and a law that wo can uland
by In this matter will be no less to the
advantago ot thoso who administer the
railroads ot tho country than to tho ad
vantage of thoso whom they employ. The
experience of a large number ot the
states abundantly proves that.
Wo ought to devote ourselves to meet
ing pressing demands of plain Justice
llko this as earnestly as to the accom
plishment ot political and economic re
forms. Social justlco comes first. Law
Is the machinery for Its realization nnd
Is vital only as It expresses and em
bodies It
I.rniaiittlnn for flenmen.
An International congress for the dis
cussion ot all questions that affect saf
ety at sea Is now sitting In London at
tho suggestion of our own government.
Ko soon as tho conclusions of that con
gress can be learned and considered we
ought to address ourselves, among other
things, to the prompt alleviation ot the
unsafe, unjust and burdensome condi
tions which now surround the employ
ment of sailors and render it extremely
difficult to obtajn tho services of spirited
and competent men such as every ship
needs It It Is to be safely handled and
brought to port. ,
May I not express the very real pleas
ure I have experienced In co-operating
with the congress and sharing with tt
the labors of commbn service to which
It has devoted Itself so unreservedly
during the past seven months of un
complaining concentration upon the busi
ness ot legislation? Surely It Is a proper
and pertinent part of my report on "tho
state of the union" to express my ad
miration for the diligence, tho good tem
per and the full comprehension of publlo
duty which has already been manifested
by both the houses; and I hope that It
may not bo deemed an Impertinent Intru-
slon of myself Into the picture If I say
with how much and how constant satis
faction I have availed myself of the
Privilege of putting my time and eneruy
at their disposal alike In counsel and In
action.
