I usings. We lag behind many other rent countries of the modern world in attempting to do this. Systems of rural credit have beeu studied und I davaloped on the other side of the l water while we left our farmers to liift for themselves in the ordinary money market. You have but to look ; about you in any rural district to see j the result, the handicap und emburI t 'ssment which have been put upon ! those who produce our food. t'uiiM'iuus of tiiis ituckwarduesa and i neglect on our part, the Congress re- . > "fitly authorised the creation ot u I pt rial commission to study the various systems of rural credit which j have been put into operation in Eui rope, und this commission is already irepa nd to report. Its report uught | io make it easier for us to determine | what methods will be bust suited to ' <>ur own furmcra. I ho|s- and beI lieve that the committees of the Henate ud House will address themselves to this uiattiur with the most fruitful results, and I believe that the studies und recently formed pinna of the Department of Agriculture may lie made to serve them very greatly in' their work of framing appropriate and ' "deqimte legislation. It would be in-1 discreet and presumptuous In anyomi Io dogmatise upon so great und many-1 sidiMle u queation. but I (col confident I that tlie common counsel will produce the results we must all desire. Turn from the farm to the world | i of businuss which cotttora in the city I i md in tlm factory, uud 1 think that thoughtful olMorvera will agree that Hie iuimudtatu uervltc w»j owe the 1 buaineth cotutnuuitibh of lUo'cbaulfy i « to prevent pnvatu muuopoly more •■fT m t'x&lly than It has yet hern pre-1 .ft. d, I think tt will tn- easily ag-, *oed tlist wu sli'Hild lei the Hhorman | until nut law stand .unaltered, as It Is.

with its debatable ground about It, but that we should as much as possible reduce the area of that debatable ground by further and more explicit legislation; and should also supplement that great act by legislation which will not only clarify it but also faciliate its adminstration and make it fairer to all concerned. No doubt we shall wish, and the country will expect tills to be the central subject of our deliberations during the present session; but it is a subject so many-sided and so deserving of careful and discriminating discussion that 1 shall take the liberty of addressing you upon it in a special message at a later date than this. It is of captital importance that the business men of this country should lie relieved of al) uncertainties of law witli regard to their enterprises and investments and a clear path indicated which they can travel of embarrassment and set free to prosper as that private monopoly should be destroyed, 'ftie ways of action should be thrown wide open. 1 turn to a subject which 1 hope an be handled promptly and without 1 serious controversy of any kind. J mean the method of selecting nomi- | nees for the Presidency of the United States. I feel confident that I do not misinterpret the wishes or the expectations of the country when 1 urge the prompt enactment of legis’ation which will provide for primary dections throughout the country at which the voters of the several par ties may choose their nominees for the Presidency without the interven tiou of nominating. I venture the suggestion that this legislation i diouid provide for the retention of . party conventions, but only for the l purpose of declaring and accepting I the verdict of the primaries and for mulating the platforms of the parties; , and 1 suggest that these conventions ' houid consist not of delegates choser 1 for this single purpose, but of th< nominees for Congress, the nominee? ior vacant Mats in the Senate of the United States, the Senators whose terms have not yet closed, the nation al committees, and the candidates fo< ’he Presidency themselves, in order that platforms may be framed b; those responsible to the people for tarrying them into effect. These are all matters of vital do mestic concern, ana besides them, out •ide the charmed circle of our ow* national life in which our affection I command us, as well as our cor • sciences, there stand out our oblig I nons toward our territories over sea Here we are trustees. Porto Rico Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, in deed, but not ours to do what w< please with. Such territories, one* regarded as mere possessions, are nc lunger to be selfishly exploited; they are part of the domain of public conscience and of serviceable and enlight ■n< d statesmanship. We must ad minister them for the people who live in them and with the same sense o' responsibility to them as toward our own people in our domestic affairs No doubt we shall successfully enough bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Is lands to ourselves by ties of justice and interest and effection but th* iM-rforniauccs of our duty toward th' Philippines is a more difficult am' ; icbatable matter. We can satisfy i the obligations of generous justice to ward the people of Porto Rico by giv iug them the ample and familiar rights and privileges accorded our own citUcus in our own terrltorier and our obligations toward the peo pie of Hawaii by perfecting the pro visions for self-government already granted them, but in the Philippines we must go further. We must hold steadily in view their ultimate hide peudance as steadily as the way car be cleared and the foundation* thoughtfully and permanently laid. Acting under the authority confer red upon the president by Congress I have already accorded the people o* the island* a majority in both house* of their legislature laxly by appoint Ing live instead of four native cltlaenr to the membership of the commission I believe that in this way we shall make proof of their capacity in coun sei and their sense of responsibility in the exercise of political power, and that the succ ia of tills step will be sure to clear our view for the step* which are to follow. Step by stop we should ukloud and perfect the system of »elf-guM*ruuH tit iu the is lauds, making test of them uud modi fyiug them as experience discloses iheir succvsscs uud their failures; that wc should more uud more put under Hie loutrul of the uullvi* cilj '.'CM of the archipelago the usscntiul instruments of their life, their local instrumentalities of government their schools, all the common Inter■•ata of fliulr comiuuulties. and so by couusid and experience sot up a government which nil the world will see i to bo suitable to a people whose affairs uro uudcr their owu control. ' At .last, I hop< aud bclluie. wo nrt l"’gtunH>g to gain the cnOdcaci of i th' Filipino people. Uy their counsel and experience, rather than by our I i own, we shall b arn how best to wrv* i j them und bow soon It will Is- possible I uud wlm to withdraw our supurviaivu.

Let us once find the path and set out with firm and confident tread upon it and we shall not wander from it or linger upon it. A duty faces us witli regard to Alaska which seems to me very pressing and very imperative; perhaps 1 should say a double duty, for it concerns both the political and tile material development of the Territory. The people of Alaska should be given the full Territorial form of govern meat, and Alaska, as a storehouse, should be unlocked. One key to it is a system of railways. These the Government should itself build and administer, and the ports und terminals it should itself control in the interest of all who wish to usethem for the service and development of the country and its people. But the construction of railroads is only the first step; is only thrusting the key to the storehouse and throwing back the lock and opening the door. How the tempting resources of the country are to be exploited is another matter, to which 1 shall take the liberty of from time to time calling your attention, for it is a policy which must be worked out by wellconsidered stages, not upon theory but upon lines of practical expediency. It is part of our general problem of conservation. We have a freer hand •n working out the problem in Alaska than in the States of the Union; and yet the principle and object are the -ame, wherever we touch it We must use the resources of the country lot lock them up. There need be no conflict or jealousy as between State snd Federal authorities, for there can be no essential difference of purpose between them The resources in question must be used, but not destroyed or wasted: used, but not inon□plized upon any narrow idea of individual rights as against the abiding nterests of communities. That a pol'ey can be worked out by conference ind concession which will release liese resources and yet not jeopardise >r dissipate them. 1 for one have no ioubt; and it can be done on lines of regulation which ueed be no less acceptable to the people and governments of the States concerned than to the people and Governments of the Nation at large, whose heritage these resources are. We must bend our Wiesels to this end. A common purpose ought to make agreement easy Three or four matters of special Importance and significance I bei: hat you will permit me to mention in closing. Our Bureau of Minus ought to be 'quipped and empowered to render even more effectual service than it renders now in improving the condi‘ions of mine labor and making the nines more economically productive is well as more safe. This is an all Important part of the vlork of conservation; and the conservation of liu man life and energy lies even nearer o our interest than the preservation 'rom waste of our material resources. Wo owe it, in mere justice to the railway employees of the country, to irovide for them a fair aud effective *mployers’ liability act; and a law ‘bat we can stand by in this matter will be uo less to the advantage of those who administer the railroads of he country than to the advantage of hose whom they employ. The experience of a large number of the States Abundantly proves that. We ought to devote ourselves to meeting pressing demands of plain lustice like tills as earnestly as to he accomplishment of political and economic reforms. Social justice owes first. laiw is the machinery for its realization and is vital only as t expresses and embodies it. Au international congress for the discussion of all questions that affect afety at sea ia now sitting iu Loudon it the suggestion of our own Government. So soon as the conclusions of that congress cun bo learned und "onsidered wc ought to uddess ourHevea, among other things, to the prompt alleviation of the very unsafe, tujust and burdensome conditions ♦hlch now surround the employment of sailors and render it extreme!'* iifficult to obtain the services of spirited und competent meu such us •very ship needs if it ia to bo safely laudlud und brought to port.

List Your Real Estate

Listing your property for sale with! one good. live, reliable agency to sell is the better way of finding a buyer i for you. as they have frequent calb and inquiries which an individual does 1 not get—and who would think of leaving his case with all the doctors or al! the attorneys instead of taking one at a time, who would give his case special attention and. no doubt, his best efforts, even though he fail. But many owners of real estate want to list with all agencies and in many instances none of the agencies give his case their best attention. It is also a prevailing practice to ask tho agent to sell the property for fore than the actual value or asking price by the owner, which of course, he cannot do. Property ought to lx* listed at its actual value and the agent, if hon«“»t be oucht to yet for ’bs owner tl.e b< prir and - possible in justice to the purchaser and the seller.
