will certainly be completed early In
the next administration, If not before.
Some type of canal must' be con-
structed. The lock type has been se-
lected. We are all In favor of having
It built as promptly as possible. We
must not now, therefore, keep up a fire
In the rear of the agents whom we
have authorized to do our work on the
Isthmus. We must hold up their
hands, and speaking fpr the incoming
administration, I wish to say that I
propose to devote all the energy pos-
sible and under my control, to the
pushing of this work on the plans
which have been adopted, and to stand
behind the men who are doing faithful
hard work to bring about the early
completion of this, the greatest con-
structive enterprise of modern times.
The governments of our dependen-
cies in Porto Rico and the Philippines
are progressing as favorably as could
be desired. The prosperity of Porto
Rico continues unabated. The busi-
ness conditions in the Philippines are
not all that we cbuld wish them to be,
but with the passage of the new tariff
bill permitting free trade bet 1 the
United States and the a ..jlago,
with such limitations in sttT'r and to-
bacco as shall present i: uy to the
domestic Interests on t . e products,
we can count on an 1 yrovement In
business conditions it the Philippines
and the development of a mutually
profitable trade between this country
and the Islands. Meantime our gov-
ernment in each dependency is up-
holding the traditions of civil liberty
and Increasing popular control which
might be expacted under American au-
spices. The work which we are doing
there redounds to our credit as a na-
tion.
Praise Accorded Progress
I — Mads by the Negro Race.
I look forward with hope to increas-
ing the already good feeling between
the south and the other sections of
the country. My chief purpose is not
to effsct a change In the electoral vote
of the southern states. That is a sec-
ondary consideration. What I look for-
ward to is an Increase in the tolerance
of political views of all kinds and their
advocacy throughout the south, and
the existence of a respectable political
opposition In every state; even more
than this, to an Increased feeling on
the part of all the people in the south
that this government is their govern-
ment, and that Its officers in their
states are their officers.
The consideration of this question
cannot, however, be complete and full
without reference to the negro race,
Its progress and its present condition.
The 13th amendment secured them
freedom; the 14th amendment due
process of law, protection of property
and the pursuit of happiness; and the
15th amendment attempted to secure
the negro against any deprivation of
the privillege to vote, because he was
a negro. The 13th and 14th amend-
ments have been Renerally enforced
and have secured the objects for
which they were intended. While the
15th amendment has not been gener-
ally observed in the past, it ought to
be observed, and the tendency of
southern legislation to-day is toward
the enactment of electoral quatlHaa-
tions which shall square with that
amendment. Of course^ the mere
adoption of a constitutional law Is
only one step in the right direction.
It must be fairly and justly enforced
as well. In time both will come.
Hence it Is clear to all that the dom-
ination of an ignorant, irresponsible
element can be prevented by consti-
tutional laws which sha!l exclude from
voting both negroes and WliiJCB not
having education or other -qualifica-
tions thought to be necessary for a
proper electorate. The danger of the
control of an ignorant electorate has
therefore passed. With this change,
the interest which many of the -south-
ern white citizens take in the welfare
of the negroes has increased. The
colored man must base their hope on
the results of ihelr own industry, Belf-
restraint, thrift and business success,
as well as upon the aid and comfort
and sympathy Which they may receive
from their white neighbors of the
south. There was a time when north-
erners who sympathized with the mi-'
gro in his necessairy struggle for bet-
ter conditions sought to give to him
the suffrage as a protection, and to
enforce its exercist against the pre-
vailing sentiment or the south. The
movement proved to be a failure;.
'What remains Is the 15th amendment
to the constitution and the right to
have statutes .of states specking
qualifications -lor electors subjected to
the test of compliance with that
amendment. This is a great protec-
tion to the negr*. It will never be re-
pealed, and It never ought to be re-
pealed. If it had not been -passsed, it
might be .difficult \ow to adupt it; but
with it in our fundamental law, the
policy of southern legislation tnust and
•will tend t® obey It, and so long as
the statutes of the etates meet the
•test of this tmendmetit and are not
otherwise in conflict with the consti-
tution nd laws of the United States,
It Is not the disposition «r within tfce
province of the federal government to
Interfere with the regulation by south-
ern states of their domestic affairs
There is in ttie south a stronger feel-
ing than ever among the intelligent,
well to-do and Influential element in
favor of the industrial education of
the negro and the encouragement of
the race to make themselves useful
members of the community. The
progress which the negro has made In
the last 50 years from slavery, when
Its statistics are reviewed, is marvel-
ous, and it furnishes every reason to
hope that in the next 25 years a still
greater improvement in his condition
as a productive member of society, on
the farm, and in the shop nnd in other
occupations, may come. The negroes
are now Americans. Their ancestors
cams here years ago against their
will, and this is their only country
and their only Sag. They hove shown
themselves anxious to live for it and
willing to die for it. Encountering;
the race feeling against them, sub-
jected at times to cruel injustice grow-
ing out of it. they may well have our
profound sympathy and aid in the
struggle they are making. We are
charged with the sacred duty of mak-
ing their path as smooth and easy
ns we can. Any recognition of their
distinguished men, any appointment
to office from a:uons their number, is
properly taken as an encouragement,
and aii appreciation of their progress,
and this just policy shall be pursued.
Coming Era of Eetter Feeling
Between Whites and Negroes.
But it may well adn.it of doubt
whether. In the case of any race, an
appointment of one of their number
to a local office in a community in
which the race feeling is t,o wide-
spread and acute as to interfere with
tho ease and facility with which the
local government business can bo
done by the appointee, is of sufficient
benefit by way of encouragement to
the race to outweigh the recurrence
and Increase of race feeling with such
an appointment is like*y to engender.
Therefore, the executive, in recogniz-'
ing the negro race by appointments,
must exercise a careful discretion not
thereby to do it more harm than good.
On the other hand we must be careful
not to encourage the mere pretense
of race feeling manufactured in the in-
terest of individual political ambition.
Personally I have not the slightest
race prejudice or feeling, and recogni-
tion .of its existence only awakens In
my heart a deeper sympathy for those
who have to bear it or suffer from it,
and I question the wisdom of a policy
which is likely to increase It. Mean-
time, If nothing is done to prevent, a
better feeling between the negroes
and the whites in the south will con-
tinue to grow, and more and more of
the white people will come to realize
that the future of the south is to be
much benefited by the Industrial and
intellectual progress of the negro.
The exercise of political franchises by
those of his race who are Intelligent
and well-to-do will be acquiesced in.
and the right to vote will be withheld
only from the ignorant and irresponsi-
ble of both races.
Is Squarely in Favor of
Proper Labor Legislation.
There is one other matter to which
I shall refer. It was made the subject
of great controversy during the eleo-
tion, and calls for at least a passing
reference now. My distinguished prede-
cessor has given much attention to the
cause of labor, with whose struggle
for better things he has shown the sin-
cerest sympathy. At his instance, con-
gress has passed the bill fixing the liar
bility of interstate carriers to their
employes for injury sustained In the
course of employment, abolishing the
rule of fellow-servant and the commoa
law rule as to contributory negligence.
It lias also passed a law fixing the
compensation of government employee
for injuries sustained in the employ
of the government through the negli-
gence of the superior. It also passed
a model child labor law for the Dis-
trict of Columbia. In previous admin-
istrations an arbitrary law /or inter-
state commerce railroads snd their
employes, and laws for the application
of safety devices to save the lives and
limbs of employes of interstate rail-
roads had been passed. Additional
legislation of this kind was passed by
the outgoing congress.
I wish to say that in so far as I
can, I hope to promote the enactment
of further legislation of .this churao-
ter.

Question has arlspn I 1 publishers, The Union Book Co., of Chicago.
Another labor question has arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion. That is in respect to the j j
power of the federal courts to issue in-
junctions in industrial disputes. As j j
to that, my convictions are fixed. Tak« '
away from the courts, if it could be ' j
tqiten away, the power to issue in- i f
Junctions in labor disputes, and It 1 j
would create a privileged class among j t!
the laborers and save the lawless ' {?
among their number from a most need- ; {5
ful remedy available to all nien for
the protection of their business against
lawless iuvasion. The proposition
that business is not a property or pe-
cuniary right which can be protected
by equitable injunction is utterly
without foundation in precedent or
reason. The proposition is usually
United with one to make the second-
ary .boycott lawful. Such a proposi- :
tlon is ut variance with the American
instlnot and will find no support la '
my judgment when submitted to the
American Iieople. The secondary boy- \
c*stt i« ati instrument of tyranny, au4 '
ought not to be made legitimate.
Th« Issuing of a temporary restrain.
Ing order without notice has in sev- '
eral instance* been abused by its in- 1
considerate exercise, and to remedy
this, tbe platform upon which I was
elected recommends the formulation in
a statute of the conditions under
which such a temporary restraining
order ought to issue. A statute can
and ought to be framed to embody the
best modern practice, and can bring
the subject so closely to the atten-
tion of the court as to make abuses of
the process unlikely in the future,

Insist that the authority of the courts

"I have recently bonght the li-
brary of Universal History/ aud
find the topical arrangement of
the matter especially advanta-
geous for ready reference and
take pleasure in recommending
this valuable work as well as the
plan for its distribution."
These
are i lie words
ti used by the great
emancipator in his Ta-
mous speech, delivered c.t his old home to
his friends and neighbors at Springfield, 111.
Reca!!;ng what little opportunity he had in
his early youth to get an education, and loo Ic-
ing hack to the days when he walked miles
and miles for a book(for he then owned nor< f
of his own), Abraham Lincoln pleaded wit'.:,
the rural and village people, his old friends
and associates to give their children a better
chance—a chance to fight the battles of life
successfully.
SURELY YOU want to give your hoyt and g!r!« a better
chance, not necessarily a college education, but better still,
a home education. It is not always the school that gives lha
education; you can give this same opportunity or better to
your family right i.i your own home. Good books—valuable
books. Oil! how Lincoln cheri^hcd these.
What would Lincoln have said had you asked his advice
on buying a great History of the World, an entertaining
and educational Library for your home, "The Library c
Universal History," and especially if we offered it at
less than half of the regular price snd on easy terrcs?
