PRESIDENT'S

SENT TO CONGRESS AT NOON BOTH

WAS A MOST WEIGHTY DOCUMENT

And One That Deals in a Masterly, Way With Questions of Great Import Touches on the CorVency

Washington, Dec. 6. The message of President Roosevelt to the second session of the Fifty-eighth Congress of the United States was read today. Following are the best parts of the message: To the Senate and House of Representatives : The nation continues to enjoy noteworthy prosperity. Such prosperity is of course primarily due to the high individual average of our citizenship, taken together with our great natural resources; but an important factor therein is the working of. our long-continued governmental policies. The people have emphatically expressed their, approval of the principles underlying these policies, and ttheir desire that these principles be kept substantially unchanged, although of course, applied in a progressive spirit to meet changing condition si Capital and Labor In the vast and complicated mechanism of our modern civilized life the dominant note is the note of industrialism; and the relations of capital and labor, and especially of organized capital and organized labor, to each other and to . the public at large come second in importance on to the intimate questions of family life. Our peculiar, form of goverrv ment, with its sharp division of authority between the nation arid, the several States, has been on the whole far more advantageous to our development than a more strongly centralized government. I believe that under modern industrial conditions it is often necessary, and even where not necessary it is yet often wise, that there should be organization of labor in order to better secure the rights of the individual wage worker. All encouragement should be given to any such organization, so long as it is conducted with due and decent regard for the rights of others. Corporations. When we come to deal with great corporations, the need for the government to act directly is far greater than in the case of labor, because the great corporations can become OFFICERS ELECTED Richmond Lodge of Masons Holds its Election.

Mayor Zimmerman yesterday morning fined David Gee for provoke and dismissed the charge-of assault and battery against Albert "Wade. The men involved in a fight Monday night in the north side and "Wade received the worst of the argument. Frank Murray, better known as "Snoots," was up on the usual charge of drunk and much to his surprise the mayor only fined him $1 and costs, which means ten davs in jail instead of sixty-four which Murray is in the habit of receiving.

HESSAOE

YESTERDAY AND READ TO BODIES. .5;! ; such, Only by engaging in interstate commerte and interstate commerce is peculiarly the field of the general government. It is an absurdity to expect jto eliminate the abuses in great corporations by State action. It is difficult to be patient with an argument; that such matters should be left to ;J,he States, because more than one State pursues the policy of creating on asy terms corporations which are never operated within that State at all,.but in other States whose laws they ignore. The national governmentSalone can deal adequately with thesejgteat corporations. To try to dealilh them in an intemperate, destructive, , or demagogic spirit wouldn all probability, mean that nothing Whatever would be accomplished, and, with absolute certainty, tha f anything were accomplished it'WOuld be of a harmful nature. The'jBureau of Corporations has made "jkare ful preliminary investigation '?t 'many important corporations.vlt will make a special report on t&e$beef industry. "fjiUv Rebates. Aboo: all else, we must strive to keepjhe' high ways of commerce open to all on equal terms; and to do this it.i:nteessary to put a complete stop to lpabates.- Whether the shipper or Hailf bradis' i'o ; blame makes difference; the rebate must be stopped, the abuses of the private car and private terminal track and side track systems must be stopped, and the legislation of the Fifty-eighth Congress which declares it to be unlawful for any person or corporation to offer, grant, or give, solicit, accept, or receive any rebate, concession, or i discrimination of any property in in terstate or foreign commerce where- , by such property shall by any device I whatever be transported at a less .rate than that named in the tariffs published by the carried must be enforced.

LOVE'S TRIALS ARE MANY

BUCHMASTER HAS MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES OF HIS OWN i TURNED DOWN III KENTUCKY Clerk Haas Had to Refuse a License to Wed Taken to the Police Station, That the path of true love does not run smooth and is not always strewn with roses has been proven to a young couple hailing from Greenville, Ohio. Nellie Smith and Luther Buchmaster for the last week have been trying to obtain a marriage license in almost every county in this section of the country. They first tried in their home town, but were refused. Not becoming discouraged they went to Cincinnati and tried again. For the second time they were turned down. They next wandered to the State where all love sick ones wander, ' Kentuck, but again they met with opposition , on account of their younthiul appearance. They came to Richmond on Sunday and stayed, here Sunday night. Monday the prospective groom went to Newcastle where he hoped to obtain a license, but he was again refused. They then tried the clerk of the "Wayne circuit court, who hands out ' the document which makes two persons one. The clerk wp, s unaWo to see the matter in the same light in which they did, and he was compelled . to .refuse the happy couple the legal document. Yesterday afternoon the attention of Patrolman McManus was attract ed to the couple by their actions at the Pennsylvania station. Die accosted them and had them go to the police station where they were examined by Superintendent Gormon and Sergeant Krone. After a very lengthy examination the couple were allowed to go and it is . thought that they went to Greenville last evening. The local police had never been informed that the couple was wanted at Greenville and consequently had nothing on which to hold them. V?nderhjlt to Build Costly Plant. Buffalo, N. Y., Dec.

"When his health began failing him he was placed on the road as a salesman for the company and sent "West in the hope that the Western contry would be beneficial to his health, but the disease was an insidious one and it diseased his mind to such an extent that his relatives thought it best to place him in the insane asylum where the patient might have every benefit that science' could offer. He remained in the hospital until the time of his death. His body wa taken to Connersville yesterday, but no arrangements have yet been made for the funeral.
