ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT The address of the president to congress has, us might have been expected, been the subject of much favora ble comment. It certainly was a scholarly and statesmanlike utterance. Wethlnk that the people will agree with Mr. Mann, republican leader of the house, who said: “I like the idea of the president coming before congress and reading a short message, pithy and to the point. In the main, 1 liked the message today. I think ev • erybody will recognize it as the utterance, of a statesman, regardless of whether he agrees,' with its details.” We think that the country will gain much as a result of Mr. Wison's brevity. It is of the highest importance that all intelligent citizens should read what the president has to say to congress. For there were few njen. even among the intellijteM class. WJt” wer>’ willing to wade through the welter ot words with which the country used to be afflicted. Many a man will r.ead a message of 3,500 words who refused to read one of 30,000 words. TU« country today knows pretty generally what is the mind of the president'. ' Some subjects will, of course, have to be elaborated in f •• ture addresses, but we may be sure that they will be treated with brevity

i- and scholarly prevision. And as they are subjects in which men are great- . ly interested we may be sure that men will read what the president m:>.y have to say regarding them. It is most encouraging to know that there is general approval of the president's position on the Mexican question. It Is not too much to say that the country is solidly behind him. What he had to say on this subject was applauded by men of all parties. The dispatches of today seem to indicate that Mr. Wilson was right in saying that we should not have to wait long for a breakdown ot the • Huerta despotism. In must be said in conclusion that even the business men and bankers i seem to be pleased with the presi ■ dent’s treatment of business ques I tions. No wild crusade against bmdi ness is proposed. On the contrary, though, the president intends V’ Ko as far as he can with his program—which is, in the main, a good one—he spoke with a wise conservatism, and in a certain sense from the business point of view. For business Is interested in having the Sherman law made as clear as possible, not by amendment, but by legisation in sup plement to it. The address has been well received by the country.—lndian apolis News. •*•«»*•* A'WMkMWWlUtaMkataUMWtakxtatfWUiste u 1 DOINGS IN SOCIETY y meaner.?. :: r. t:r.r. 2".: r: CLUB CALENDAR. Thursday.
