President's Roosevelt's first message to congress in full. It is vigorous and frank, characteristic of tho man who wrote it and will be found interesting from start to finish. Every patriotic citizen will be benefitted by raading it.

GOVERNOR DUKHIN,

it is eaid, has

made out a complete ct cf tha appointees he will make January i. to succeed the members of the boards of tho various penal and benevolent institutions whose terms expire, and also members of sixteen metropolitan police boards. Those whose terms expire aro nearly all Dem ocrats and the governor is expected to appoint Democrats in their places, thus following the wise example set by the late Governor Mount

THE LIVES OF THE HUNTED. Ernest Sevon Thompson's new book, "The Lives of the Hunted," has apreface which explains his aim as it was not explained in his previous work. He eavs: "My chief motive, my most earnest underlying wish, has been to stop the extermination of harmless wild animals, not for their sakes, but for ours, firmly believing that each of our native wild creatures is in itself a precious heritage that we have no right to destroy or put beyond the reach of our children."

This is a view of the case which is certainly sensible. Mr. Seton-Thomp-son does not go so far as to insist that no animals shall be killed, or anything of that sort. He merely protests against the ruthless and reckless slaughter of animals which do no harm, and often do good which are of value to the artist and naturalist ana have no value to the hunter beyond the zest of the chase and the comparatively small sum received for horns, Bkin or flesh. The extermination of the flamingo, of the osprey, of the cimarren, of the bison, is more than a possibility, and should it actually oc cur the animals can never be replaced. Does anybody suppose that half a doz en pairs of handsome horns preserved in a mu.Hcum or in somebody's library are more valuable than the living animal, preserved in a park, happy, alive and free? Yet people will pay large sums of money for one and not for the other, overlooking the patent fact that if the animal is preserved ihe supply of horns and skins and things will continue, and if the species is exterminated that will be the end of that kind of decoration.

Til »K I'AKTM RJiTOFCOM KltCK Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, has prepared a bill whioh he will eoon introduce, to establish the new depart ment of commerce and Industries, rec ommended by the recent reciprocity convention and by a number of. similar bodies in the past. Senator Nelson has discussed his bill with the President, who has approved it and will urge it upon congress. The bill, as drawn, creates a secretary, with an assistant secretary! and a chief of the bureau of manufactures. Tp it will be transferred from the treasury department, tho light house service, live saving service, marine hospital, inspector of steamboats, bureau of navigation, United States shipping commissioners, bureau of statistics and coast and geodetic survey from the interior department, the commissioner of railroads, patent office, census oflioe and geological survey and from the state department, the bureau of foreign commerce. To these are to be added the now independent bureau of labor and the fish commission. The secretary of commerce will be a cabinet officer, raising the number of the President's advisers from eight to nine. The government began its existence in 1789 with three departments—that of state, war and treasury and two independent bureaus, whose heads wore not cabinet officers— those of postollico and, justice. The navj department was added nine year? later, and the postmaster general and attorney-general made cabinet officers about the same time. No further in

crease took place until 1849, when the interior department was organized by taking patents and census from the state department, lands from the treasury, Indians from the war, and pensions from war and navy. The department of agriculture was created only a dozen years ago. Certainly Uncle Sam has been in no hurry to multiply new departments.

"WALLACE ON ASSASSINATION. General Lew Wallace discusses in the December number of the North American Review the ability of congress to take effective measures for the Prevention of Presidential Assassinations. General Wallace does not think that congress can do much to that end under the constitution as it stands. It can make an annual appropriation of money to enable the President to maintain a secret service to look after his safety. It can reform the regulations governing the admission of emigrants into the United States. But the most important step congress could take would be to sot in motion an amendment of the constitutional definition of treason against the United States Nihilism and anarchy were unknown to the framers of the constitution, and ii might be advisable, therefore, to expand the constitutional deGnition of treason so that ib may include the special conspiracies and crimes for which these modern enemies of law and order are responsible. General Wallace offers a suggestion as to the form which such an amendment might take: "Treason against the United States shall consist: "1. In levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. ''2. In feloniously taking or attempting to take the life of the President of the United Statee, or of the acting President. 3. Agitation, conspiracy, or organization to subvert the government of the United States, or to hinder or obstruct itc operation shall be treasona ble and for the suppression of such acts the congress shall have power to do whatever it may judge requisite. "In the first and thi cases congress may declare the punishment in the second case the punishment shall be death. "In the first case, no person shall be convicted of treason unless upon the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. "No attainder ol treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture ex cept during the life of the person attainted."

What to Do With the Surplus. To the Editor of the Journal: In advocating a free money order system for the people would be as much in line for promoting the public welfare as free rural delivery, especially if they could be supplemented with a parcel post, they could in a few years add more to tho postal revenues than their cost. The money order is the means by which the smaller exchanges of the people are effected, and they should -at no more than the larger exchanges by the banks, which is about twenty cents a thousand. To charge two cents for each oruer would make the cost of exchange by a money order alout the same as charged by the the banks when a money order for one hundred dollars is bought, while at the present rate of 30 cents the cost is fifteen times as great, while for small orders the disparity is still greater.

This great boon to the people would be brought about by transferring one and a half millions of the beer tax to the postoHice department. The use of all of the beer tax remaining after using enough for a free rural mail delivery over a million square miles, and a free money order system, in the making of good roads, would so relieve tho treasury of the surplus that with what the secretary proposes to use in the purchase of bonds, will relieve us of the surplus.

But a nation with a debt that may be paid should never have a surplus, for that part of its revenues not needed for current expenses should be applied to the purchase of its debt not due and payable which should be bought at the market price. If a nation has one hundred and ten millions in its treasury not needed for current expenses, and has a debt of one hundred millions, it will be the part of wisdom to buy ttie one hundred millions of bonds with the one hundred and ten millions of surplus. Of course if we should adopt the policy of applying all the money not needed for current expenses to tho purchase of bonds or the improvement of roads or some other equally meritorious improvements as fast as the funds accumulate in the treasury, we should have no surplus to vex us.

During Mr. Bradrick's administration of five years the association has prospered. The loss of ssudent membership has been made up by a vigorous canvass among the town boys and is now about 350. The religious meetings have doubled in attendance while the physical department, lecture course and finances have made marked improvement. Had it not been for the financial canvass that had been under contemplation for some time Mr. Bradrick would have retired some time ago.

THE JOURNAL

the in

consistency and untruthfulness of an article that appeared in last week's JOURNAL, written by a Waynetown writer on the high school foot ball game between Wallace and Waynetown. The writer undoubtedly tries to lower the dignity of our high school by calling us "log haulers," "corn shreddei'6," and "pumpkin buskers of Jackson township." To have done any or all of these things is a token of honesty rather than a disgrace, but we are pleasedtoinformt.be Waynetown correspondent that every boy who played on the Wallace team at Waynetown is ia Bchool this term, and while we may have "muscular strength," "much beef" and a "heap of matter," that every one is qualified to do. and htis done, creditable high school work. We make this statement and no one can deny it, that we played more boys from our high school than Waynetown played from its entire school. When the

writer said that their

"kids" averaged only 135 pounds, he evidently had forgt tten that at least five players not in school at that place, the most of which belong to the first team (town team) had been substituted instead of the "kids," thus raising their weight equal to, if not more than ours, which was a little more than 150 pounds. The equality of weight dem onstrates that Waynetown hud about as much "beef" and as great a "heap of matter" as Wallace had, but we admit they did not have the "muscular strength," hence the writer's philoso phy of "science agaiost muscular strength," "braiu against much beef and "mind against a heap of matter" is as illogical as the Waynetown team was unskilled in foot ball tactics.

Waynetown at no time outclassed nor outplayed Wallace. The referee ad mitted to the writer of this article that he gave unfair decisions in der to hold the score down. He said that he saw we could outplay Waynetown at any stage of the game, and didn't think It necessary to roll up a big score.

We do not wish to antagonize an ill will between the two towns, but we do wish to defetd our high school and its foot ball team, which is one of the best non-commissioned high school teams in western Indiana. It has not been defeated this season and does not deserve such reflections as were cast upon it by the article from Waynetown in last week's

JOURNAL.

May Oppose Landls for Congress.

According to statements made at the Denison hotel last night by Republican politicians, it seems to be almost an assured fact that Charles B. Landis, who Is so ably representing the ninth congressional district at Washington, is to have opposition. From time to time rumors have been prevalent that L. S. ildwln, a prominent young lawyer of Nonlesville, would enter the field against Mr. Landis and attempt to secure the next nomination for congressional honor*. Some friends of Baldwin made the statement last night that the Noblesviile man, although he has not yet announced his candidacy, is receiving considerable encouragement from different sources and may conclude to make the race. "Baldwin is ambitious to go to congress," said one of his friends, "and if he goes into the race he will receive a large part of his support from those who know of his ambition and who are interested in him because he is a Hamilton county man. It will not be through any special desire to beat Mr. Lindis that Hamilton county people will support his opponent." One of the men predicted that Baldwin would receive substantial support from Boone county.—Indianapolis Journal.
