Houses Is Quite Short.

Washington. Hec. f>.— President Wil-
son today delivered Ills message to
both houses of congress In Joint ses-
nlon. The address was as follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
In fulfilling at this time the duty laid
upon me !>.\ the Constitution of com-
municating to you from time to time
Information of the state of the I'nion
and recommending to your eonsldern-
tton such legislative measures as may
he judged necessary and expedient 1
shall continue the praetice. whleh I
hope has been acceptable to you. of
leaving to the reports of the several
heads of the executive departments the
elaboration of the detailed needs of
the public service and confine myself
to those matters of more general pub-
lic policy with which it seems neccs
wiry and feasible to deal at the pres
ent session of the congress.
I realize the limitations of time un-
der which you will necessarily act at
this session and shall make my snu
gestions as few as possible: but there
were some things loft undone at the
last session which there will now be
time to complete and which if seems
necessary in the interest of the public
to do at once.
In the fust place, it seems to me Im-
peratively necessary that the earliest
possible consideration and action
should be accorded the remaining
measures of the program of self le-
nient and regulation which I had occa-
sion to recommend to you at the close
of your last session in view of the pub
lie dangers i||s4 "osed by the unaccom-
modated difliculties which then existed,
and which still unhappily continue to
exist, between the railroads of the
country and their locomotive engineers,
conductors, and trainmen.
Railway Troubles First.
I then recommended :
First, Immediate provision for the
enlargement and administrative reor
ganization of the Interstate commerce
commission along the lines embodied
III the bill recently passed by the house
of representatives and now awaiting
action by the senate; in order ih^t the
Commission may be enabled to deal
with the many great and various duties
now devolving upon it with a prompt-
ness and thoroughness which are. with
Its present constitution and means of
action, practically Impossible.
Second, the establishment of an
eight-hour day as the legal basis alike
of work and of wages in the employ-
ment of all railway employees who are
actually engaged in the work of oper-
ating trains in interstate transporta-
tion.
Third, the authorization of the ap-
pointment b.v the president <,f a small
body of men to observe the actual re-
sults in experience of the adoption of
the eight-hour day In railway trans-
portation alike for the men and for
the railroads.
Fourth, explicit approval by the con-
gress of the consideration by tin* in
ferstate commerce commission of an
Increase of freight rates to meet such
additional expenditures by the rail-
roads as may have been rendered nec-
essary by the adoption of the eight-
hour da> and which have not been off-
set by administrative readjustments
find should the facts
clos ,y| justify the Increase.
Fifth, an amendment of ti;.' existing
federal statute which provide
mediation, < .uioiliation, and ar
of such <on;rovers! cm as the
by adding to it a provision that, in case
the methods of accommodation now
provided for should f. I, full public
f the merits of every
hall be instituted and
e attempted,
the lodgment in the
ic executive of the power,
military necessity, to take
f such portions
do Justice when there Is no reason to
doubt either.
The other suggestions- the Increase
In the Interstate commerce commis-
sion's membership and in its facilities
for performing its manifold duties, the
provision for full public investigation
and assessment of industrial disputes,
and the grant to the executive of the
power to control ami operate the rail-
ways when necessary in time of war
or other like public necessity 1 now
very earnestly renew.
The necessity for such legislation Is
manifest and pressing. Those who have
Intrusted us with the responsibility
and duty of serving and safeguarding
them In such matters would flml it
to excuse a failure to
grave matters or any
dponemcut of action

and
the Interstate com-
merce commission new Hud it practi-
cally impossible, with its present mem-
bership and organization to perform
its great functions promptly and thor-
oughly, but it is not unlikely that it
may presently be found advisable to
add to its duties still others equally
heavy and exacting, it must first be
perfected as an administrative instru
nicut.
The country cannot and should not
consent to remain any longer exposed
to profound Industrial disturbances for
lack of additional means of arbitra-
tion and conciliation which the con-
gress can easily and promptly supply.
And all will agree that there must be
no doubt as to tin power of the execu-
tive to make immediate and uninter
rupted use of the railroads for the con-
centration of the military forces of the
nation wherever they are needed and
whenever they are needed.
This Is a program of regulation, pre-
vention and administrative eflieiency
which argues its own case in the lucre
statement of it. With regard to one
of its Items, the Increase in the elll-
cieticy of the interstate commerce Com-
mission. the house of representatives
has already acted; Its action needs
only the concurrence of the senate.
For Control and Operation.
I would hesitate to recommend, and
I dare say the congress would hesitate
to act upon the suggestion should I
make it. that any man in any
tiou s'hould be obliged by law
linue in an employment which he de-
sired to leave. To pass a law which
forbade or prevented the individual
workman to leave his work before re-
ceiving the approval of society in do-
ing so would be to adopt a new prin
ciple into our jurisprudence which I
take it for granted we are not prepared
to Introduce. Rut the proposal that
the operation of the railways of the
country shall not be stopped or inter-
rupted by the concerted action of or-
ganized bodies of men until a public
investigation shall have been instituted
which shall make the whole question
at issue plain for the judgment of the
.opinion of tin- muion is not to propose
any such principle. It is based upon
the very different principle that the con
certed action of powerful bodies of men
shall not be permitted to stop the in-
dustrial processes of the nation, at any
rate before the nation shall have had
an opportunity to acquaint itself with
the merits of the case as between em-
ployee and employer, time to form its
opinion upon an Impartial statement
< t the merits, and opportunity to con-
sider all practicable means of concilia-
tion or arbitration.
I can see nothing in that proposition
but the justifiable safeguarding by so-
ciety of the necessary processes of
Its very life. There is nothing arbi
trar.v or unjust in it unless it he arbi-
trarily and unjustly done. It can and
should be done with a full and scrupu-
lous regard for the interests and liber-
ties of all concerned as well as for the
permanent interests of society itself.
Other Legislation Urged.
Three matters .it .'npitnI importance
await the tieiliiii Iif I|1(. senate which
have already been acted upon ity the
house of representatives: the lull
which seeks to extend greater freedom
of combination to tHose engaged In pro-
moting tin* foreign commerce of the
country than is now thought by some
to be legal under the terms of the laws
against monopoly; the bill amending
the present organic law of Porto I; co;
and the bill proposing a more thor-
ough and systematic regulation of the
expenditure of money in elections, com-
monly called the Corrupt Practices Act.
I need not labor my adv Ice that these
measures be enacted into law. Their
urgency lies In the manifest circiim
stances w hich render their adoption at
this time not only opportune but neces-
sary. K veil delay would seriously
■ opard the Interests of the country
and of tln government.
Immediate passage of the bill to reg-
ulate the expenditure of money in elec-
tions may seem to be less necessary
than the immediate enactment of the
ofber measures to wlihh 1 refer; be-
presently, will immediately assimm
has Indeed already assumed, h magni
hide unprecedented in our experience
We have not the necessary instrumen-
talities for its prosecution; it is
deemed lo be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles
and create a basis of undoubted law
for it which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
tiling must lie done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape us
it we hesitate or delay.
Porto Rico's Needs.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of Por-
to Itieo is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges of
its people are not just. We have cre-
ated expectations of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
conci ruing them which the adoption of
the pending measure would happily re-
move. We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We
ought to do it at once.
There are other matters already ad-
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which It is
not necessary that I should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them w ill no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is. gentlemen, prob-
ably the hist occasion I shall have to
address the Sixty-fourth congress, I
hope that you will permit i.to to say
with what genuine pleasure and satis-
faction I have co-operated with you in
the many nieasur* s of constructive pol
icv with which you have enriched the
legislative annals of the country. It
has been a privilege to labor in such
company. 1 take the liberty of con-
gratulating you upon the completion of
a record of rare servb cableuess and
distinction.
AGREE TO DISCARD FOOTWEAR
Natives of the Golden State Have
Formed a League Which Is Some-
what Unconventional.
Harking back to the days when man
I roamed carelessly across green pas-
: tures unshackled by costly footwear;
, when cool, solid comfort met tile na-
ked foot at every step, and when corns
. and bunions were unheard of, four
prominent Sacrameiitaus have formed
what is to he known as the Sacra-
mento Rarefoot league, says a corre-
spondent.
There are four charter members of
the league, all residents of Yardley
avenue, and they are Dr. Robert 10.
Smith, James McCullough, L. O. Lum
ry and Steve Downey.
The league was organized in quite
an unintentional way. Which of the
four was the originator is unknown.
Rut it is intimated that Doctor Smith,
for several years advocate ot the (.'oat-
less Summer league for men, bad
something to do with it.
At any rate, the league has hud sev-
eral meetings. The requirements of
the league are these: No member must
be too modest to display bis bare feet.
He must be without pedal covering
in attending meetings, lie must be
willing to, and enjoy, walking on his
lawn before the assembled multitude,
including his wife, unshod.

El Paso, Tex., Dec. T . Interesting
details of Villa's attack on Chihuahua
City became known here today from
a reliable source.
For four days the forces of CI en.
Trevino had defeated the Villa troop
and at 11 o'clock Sunday night, Nov.
116, the bandits apparently were re
tiring toward the north with the re-
ported intention of attacking Juarez,
according to this source.

Bound to Make Good.
The well-dressed stranger stepped I
Into the drug store and. passing by |
the boy who usually attended to casual |
customers, approached the proprietor, j
who was arranging some goods in the |
show case.
"Mr. O , I presume?" he re-
marked, pleasantly, and the druggist
turned and bowed gravely. "I have |
heard my friend, Mr. Qtmrn, speak of I
you often," said the brisk man. "He |
told me if ever I needed anything In
this line to come to you. He spoke of
you as ti man on whom one could rely
with perfect confidence, who had only
the best of evrything and with whom
it was'alwn.vs a pleasure to deal."
"Mr. Quorn is very kind," answered
the other, beaming with gratification,
"lie is one of by best customers. What
can 1 do for you this morning?"
"Well er—this morning, sis it bap
pens," said the stranger, with just a
little briskness, "this morning I should j
like, If you will allow me, to consult
your directory." \
"Certainly," was the calm reply. "We
also have a good selection of one and
two-cent stamps as well as railway
time tables, if you need anything of
that kind."
Tin? meetings are preceded by a cool
walk upon the lawn of the host. As
the evening becomes cool and members
retire to the host's drawing room and !
are entertained with phonograph se- j
lections.
Despite serious objections to the
league on the part of the better halves ■
in some of the homes, the organization i
has grown and is now reaching out for
congenial spirits.
"Keep cool and comfortable and cure
your corns," is the slogan of the
league.
On the Wire.
The president of one of the large
corporations in New York, whose busi-
ness is measured in hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars annually, has not
the temper of the angels. The em-
ployees, from the vice to the office
boy, stand in holy dread of him.
There came one day a new tele-
phone operator. The president want-
ed to talk to someone in Washington,
and wanted him quick, lie "got his
party," and was thundering away,
when squ-a-w-k-k-k ! Ping! S-s-s-tt!
and the connection was dished. The
president was near to exploding, when
a competent little voice came up from
the switchboard:
"Well, I guess I'm the little girl
who put the mess In the message, ain't
I? You just look out < f the window,
and I'll tlx It in ten seconds."
And she did. And be did. And the
little operator moved up ahead of
the vice in office estimation, and is still
at her switchboard.

Franklin Objects Seriously.
She isn't very large, that's true, but
being a county seat, and boasting of
a college, several factories. Hour mills,
railways, interurbans and her lately
acquired Masonic home. Franklin feels
that she is not a town to be passed
lightly by, in fact, she knows her itn
portutice, and thought that everyone in
the state realized it until she was
taken down a bit lately. During the I
big conference of the Methodist j
churches held recently in the town a j
meeting of the Indianapolis presbyterv |
was in session at the same time at 1
Hopewell, a country church in a pros j
porous farming community a few j
miles out. One of the Presbyterian
delegates, on leaving the train joined :
in the throng headed for the Method
1st church. When It came to regis
tering, some of his inquiries caused
someone to suggest that probably li<
was in the wrong place, and he asked
innocently: "Isn't this Hopewell?"
"No, this is Franklin." was the proud
reply.- indianapolis News.
Oliveless Days.
British Consul Nugent said at a
banquet in Chicago:
"They tell a good story about
Creek army corps that surrendered t
the Germans and was taken Into food-
stripped Germany to be the guest of mal
the nation.
"At Chemnitz, the story runs, a com-
mittee of famished Greek soIJiers
waited on the German commandant
and said:
" 'They told us that here in Chem-
nitz. commandant, the government
would at least give us some rations.'
"'Yes, and that's right, too,* said
the German commandant genially, as
he took a huge packet of cards from
his desk. 'Here are your Greek ra-
tion cards specially got up by us foi
our revered Greek guests. They entitle
every Greek soldier to six olives ti day '
live days per week, and. furthermore,
on the two "oliveless days," they en-
title each and every one of you to f
cracker and a half-pint of coffee sub

Rather Embarrassing.
Irvin Cobb, the war correspondent
home from Kurope long enough recent
ly to get bis breath and look over the
proof sheets of a new hook, attended
an authors' banquet in New York.
A deaf man sat next to Cobb. Far
ther down the table another man toln
a funny story, and when he finished,
the deaf man laughed and applauded
louder and longer than any of the
rest.
"Good old boy!" shouted the deal
man. " I hat reminds tne of a story," he
added to those near by.
"Get up and tell it, Charlie," cried
several. The toastinaster sanctioned
the suggestion.
Then the deaf man got up and told
the same story the other man had told ;
He Was on the Job.
The umlerts.ker arose and said t"
the mourner^ assembled:
"If anyone present wishes to say a .
few words of tribute to the deceased, j
now is the time, when the family will
be glad to hear such."
A stillness prevailed, and after a '
few moments of silence it was broken '
by a young man, who arose and
asked:
"l>o I understand that no one wishes
to make any remarks?"
"It would appear so," replied the
undertaker.
"Then," asked the young man, as a
light came into bis eyes, "may I be
permitted to make a few remarks

French Game Laws Suspended.
The poor people of Franco, as wel*
ps the wealthy, are taking advantage
of the privilege recently granted by M
Moline, the minister of agriculture, to
all sportsmen, of high or low degree
to shoot the wild game that, since tin
war, has become superabundant, doing
great damage to crops.
Hares, pheasants and wild ducks
have been the chief offenders, anc"
these are being killed in great num
hers, thus not only saving growln*
vegetation, but furnishing food for
the people.
Tt was thought at first that the min
Isfer's instructions included only rich
sportsmen and owners of game pre
serves, but he made it clear in a sub
sequent statement that. In the inter
est of agriculture, the shooting prlv
ilego wns extended to everybody in all
departments.
Washington, I). C., Pec. .5—The high ;
cost of living and what steps the fed
eral government can take to control
it became a national question with the !
convening of congress today, w hie 1 j
overshadowed all other issues in the j
lirst day's proceedings.
The pi/ssibillty that President Wil '
son will deal with the subject in a
special address grew stronger, al-
though it was thought probable that !
the president would select a special j
occasion for it rather than to add to j
it for the supplement of his general
address tomorrow.
Eleven bills and resolutions seeking
to check the soaring prices of food by
stopping shipments to Europe, reduc-
ing parcel post rates on foodstuffs or |
controlling cold storage were Intro- !
duced in the house.
President Samuel Gompers and a j
committee of the American Federation
of tabor called 6n President Wilson
and asked him to appoint a special
commission to investigate the food |
question. The president assured them :
that the government would take some !
steps to meet the situation, but it wa3 [
not clear that they had been decided
upon fully.
Reports being gathered by the dc 1
partment of agriculture and commerce
are being laid before the president as
fast as they are compiled, and upon
them he is expected to decide on any
action which undoubtedly would be
prefaced by a special address to con-
gress.
