MONEY BILL HELPS FARMER Need of Legislation That Will Facili tate Getting of Capital for Agricul tural Purposes Would Choose Presidential Candidates by Primary —Declares Himself for Philippine Independence—Should Let Antl- Trust Law Stand. Washington, Dec. 2.—President Wil son appeared before the joint session of the two houses of congress today and delivered hia annual message as follows: •In pursuance of my constitutional duty to "give to the congress Infqrma lion of the state' of the Union," I take the liberty of addressing you on sev eral matters which ought, as It seems to me, ( part!cularly to engage the at tention of your honorable bodies, as of all who study the welfare of the nation. „ Departs From Custom. 1 ahnll ask your Indulgence If I ven ture to d«|Mirt In some degree from the usual custom of setting before you In formal review the many" matters which have engaged the attention and called for the actlou of the several departments of the government or which look In them for early treat ment In the future, because the list Is long, very long, ami would suffer In the abbreviation to which I should have to subject It. I shall submit to you the reports of the heads of the several departments, In which these subjects are set forth in careful de tail, and beg that they may receive the thoughtful atteutlon of your commit tees and of a|l members of the con gress who may* have the leisure to study them. Their obvious Importance, as constituting the very substance of the business of the government, makes comment and emphasis on my part un necessary. The country, I am thankful to Bay, Is at peace- with all the world, and | many happy manifestations multiply about us of a growing cordiality and sense of community of interest among the nations, foreshadowing an age of settled peace and good will. More and j more readily each decade lip the na tlons manifest their willingness to bind themselves by solemn treaty to ; the processes of peace, the processes |of frankness and fair concession. 80 far the United States h;is stood at the front of such .negotiations. She will, I earnestly hope and confidently be lieve, give fresh proof of her sincere adherence to the cause of Interna' tlonal ratifying the sev eral treaties of arbitration awaiting renewal by the senate. In addition to these. It has beetl the privilege-of the department of state to gain the as sent, In principle, of no less than 31 nations, representing four-flftha of the population of the world, to the ne gotiations of treaties by which It shall be agreed that whenever differences of Interest or of policy arise which cannot be resolved by- the ordinary processes of diplomacy they shall be publicly analyzed, discussed, and re ported upon .by a tribunal chosen by the parties before either nation deter titln s its course of action. There Is only one possible by. to -determine controversies between the I'nTteil States and other nations, and is compounded of these two elements: Our own honor and our obligations to the peace of the world. A test HO compounded ought easily to be made to govern both the establishment of, new treaty "cybTl gatlons and the Interpretation of those already" assumed —~— Mexico Hai No Government." There is but oue cloud upon our ho rizon. That has shown Itself to the south of us, and hangs over Mexico There can be no certain prospect of peace In America until General Huerta has surrendered his usurged authority In Mexico; until It Is understood on all handß, Indeed, that such pretended governments will not be countenanced or dealt with by tho government of the United States. We are the friends of constitutional government in Americn; we are more than Its friends, we are its champions; because in no other way can our neighbors, to whom we would wish iivevery way to make proof of our frieiylship, work out their own development In peace and liberty. Mexico has no govern ment. The Attempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has broken down, and a mere military despotism has been set up which has more than the semblance of national author ity. It originated in the usurpation of Y' ctortano Huerta,who, after a brief attempt play the part of con stitutional president, has at last cast Sabbath Reading.

I don't know what* I Would do If it were not (or the back part of our, dictionary." aside even the pretense of legal right and declared himself dictator. As a consequence, a condition of affairs ijow exists in Mexico which has made It doubtful whether even the most elementary and fundamental rights either of her own people or of the citizens of other countries resident within her territory can long be suc cessfully safeguarded, and which threatens, if- long continued, to im peril the interests of peace, order and tolerable life in the lands immedi ately to the south of us. Even if the usurper had succeeded In his purposes, in despite of the constitution of the republic and the rights of Its people, he would have set up nothing but a precarious and hateful power, which could have lasted l/jt a little while, and whose eventftfl downfall would have left the country In a more de plorable condition than ever. Hut he has not succeeded. He has forfeited j the respect and the moral support | even of those who were at one time , willing to see him succeed. Little by I little he' has been completely isolated j Hy a little every day his power and j prentice are crurnbllnK and the col j lapse Is not far away. We shall not. I believe, be obliged to alter our pol Icy of watchful waiting. And then, when the end comes, we shall hope to see constitutional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energy of such of her leaders as pre fer tlie liberty of their people to their own ambitions. Rush Currency BIU. I turn to matters'of domestic con cwn. You already have under con sideration a bill for the reform of our system Of banking and currency, for whlcfMthe country waits with Impati ence, as for something fundamental to its whole business life and neces sary to set credit free from arbitrary and artificial restraints. I need not say how earnestly I hope for Its early en actment Into law. I Uke leave to beg that the whole enerff* and attention of the senate he concentrated upon it till the matter Is successfully disposed of. And yet I feel that the request Is not needed —that the members of that great hjusn neod no urging In this service jto the country. 1 I present to you, In addition, the Urgent that special provision he made, for facilitating the cred its needed by the farmers of the coun try. The pending currency bill does the farmers a gre,at service. It puts them upon an equal footing with other business men and masters of en terprlse, as it should; and upon Us passage they will And themselves quit of many of the difficulties which now hamper them In the field of credit. The farmers, of course, ask and should be given no special privilege such as extending to them the credit of the government Itself What they need and should obtain is legislation which will make their own abundant and substantial credit resources avtdl able as a foundation for joint, coV certod. local action In their own be hnlf In getting the capital they must use It Is to thlß we should now ad dress ourselves. It has, singularly enough, come to pans that we have allowed the Indus try of our farting to lag behind the other activities of the country in Its development. I need not stop to tell you how fundamental to the life of the Nation Is the production of Its fof>d. Our thoughts may ordinarily be Concentrated upon the cities and the litres of Industry, upon the cries of the crowded murket place and the cl'iiißor of the factory, but It is from the quiet Interspaces of the open val leys and the free hillsides that wo (lrnw the sources of life and. of pros perity, from the farm and the ranch, -from-the forest and the mine. With out, these every street would be si lent, every ofllce deserted, every fac tory fallen Into disrepair. And yet the farmer does not stand upon the same footing with the forester and the miner In the market of credit. He 1b the servant of the seasons Nature determines how long he must wait for his crops, and will not be hurried hi r processes, He may give his note, but the sgason of its maturity depends upon the season when his crop ma lures, lies,at the gates of the market I where his products are sold. And the security he gives Is of a character not known In the broker's office or as fa . nilliarly as It nilght be on the counter of the banker. The Farming Inter* a. The agricultural department of the government Is seeking to assist as never before to make farming an effi cient business, of wide co-operative ef fort, in quick touch with the markets for foodstuffs. The farmers and the government will henceforth work to gether as real partners in this field, where we now begin to see our way very clearly and where many Intelli gent plans are already being put Into execution. The treasury of the Uni ted States haß, by a timely and well considered distribution of its depos its, facilitated the moving of,the crops In the preaent season and prevented the scarcity of available funds too oft ~en experienced at such, times. But we must not allow ourselves to de pend upon extraordinary expedients. We must add the means by which the farmer may make his credit constant- The Cause.

We lag behind many other great countries of the modern world In attempting to do this. Systems of rural credit have studied and developed on the other side of the water while we left our farmers to shift for themselves in the ordinary money market. You have but tOj look about yot> In any rural district to see the result, the handicap and embarrassment which have been put upon those who pro duce" our food, . Conscious of this backwardness end neglect on our part, the congress re cently authorized the creation of a special commission to study the vari ous systems of rural credit which have been put into operation in Eur ope, and this commission is already prepared to report. Its report ought to make it easier for us to determine what methods will be best suited to our own farmers. I hope and believe that the committees of the senate and house wilj address themselves to this matter with the most fruitful results, and I believe that the studies and re gently formed plans of the depart ment "of agriculture may be made to serve thein very greatly In their work of framing appropriate and adequate legislation. It would be Indiscreet and preH.unvptuous In anyone to dog matize upon so great and many-sided a (]i">stlon, but I feel fonfldent that common counsel will produce the re sults we must all desire. V. Stop Private Monopoly. Ttjpn from the farm to the world of business which centers In the city and in the factory, and 1 think that all ihouuhtful observers will agree that the Immediate service we owe the business communities of the country Is to prevent private monopoly more effectually than It has yet been pre vented. I think It will be easily agreed that we should let the Sherman antl trust law stand, unaltered, as It Is, but that we should as rrutc-b as possl hie reduce the area of that debatable ground by further and more explicit legislators amd should plso supple ment that great act by legislation which will not only clarify It but also facilitate lis administration and make It fairer to all con -erned No doubt we shall all wish, and the country will expect, this to be the central subject of our deliberations during the pres ent session; but It Is a subject so many-sided and so deserving of care ful an«l discriminating discussion that I shall take the liberty of addressing von upon It In a special message at a later date than this It Is of capital Importance that the business men of this country should be relieved of all uncertainties of law with regard to their enterprises and Investments and a clear path Indicated which they can travel* without anxiety. It Is as Im portant that they should be relieved of embarrassment and set free to prosper as that private monopoly should be destroyed. The ways of action should be thrown wide open. 1 turn to a subject which I hope can be handled promptly and with out serious controversy of any kind. I mean the method of selecting nomi nees for the presidency of the I'nlted States I feel confident that I do not misinterpret the wishes or the of the country when I urge the prompt enactment of legislation which will provide for primary elections through out the country at which the voters of the several parties may choose their nominees for the presidency without the intervention of nominating con ventions I venture the suggestion that this legislation should provide for the retention of party conventions, but only for the purpose of declaring and accepting the verdict of the pri maries and formulating the platforms, of the parties; and I suggest that these conventions should consist not of delegates chosen for the single pur pose, but of the nominees. for con gress. the nominees for vacant seats In the senate of the United States, the senators whose terms have not yet closed, the national committees, and the candidates for the presidency themselves, tir order that platforms may be framed by those responsible to the people for carrying them Into effect f Obligations to Tsrrltorles. These are all matters of vital do mestic concern, and besides them, out side the charmed circle of our own national life In' which our affections command us, as well as our con- there stand out our obliga tions toward our territories over sea. Here we are trustees. Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, once regarded as mere possessions, are no longer to be selfishly exploited; they are part of the domain of public con science and of serviceable and enlight ened statesmanship. We must admin ister them for the people who live, In them and with the same sense of re sponsibility to them as toward our own people In our domestic affairs. No doubt we shall enough bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian is lands to ourselves by ties of justice and affection, but the performance of our duty toward the Philippines Is a more difficult and debatable matter.

We must hold steadily in view their ultimate inde pendence, and we must move toward the time of that Independence as steadily as the way can be cleared jl and the foundations thoughtfully and permanently laid. Acting under the authority con ferred upon the president by congress, I have already accorded the people of the Islands a majority in both bouses, of their legislative body by appointing five Instead of four native citizens to the membership of the commission. I believe that In this way we shall make proof of their sel and their sense of the responsibil ity In the exercise of political power, and that the success of this step will be sure to clear our view for the steps which are to follow. Step by step we should extend-and perfect the sys tem of self-government In the (.'lands, making test of them and modifying them as experience discloses their successes and their failures; that we should more and more put under the control of the native citizens of the archipelago the essential Instruments of t£plr life, their local Instrumentali ties of government, their schools, all the common Interests of their commu nities. and so by counsel and experi ence set up a government which all the world will see to be suitable to a ' people whose affairs are under their own control. Territorial Rights for Alaska. A duty faces us with regard to Alas ka which seems to me very pressing and very Imperative; perhaps I should say a double duty, for it concerns both the political and the material develop ment of the territory The pe'ople of Alaska should be given the full terri torial form of government, and Alas ka. as a storehouse, should be un locked. Ope key to It Is a system of railways. These the government should Itself build and administer, and the ports and terminals it should Itself control In the Interest of all who «ish to use them for the service and de velopment of the country, and Its peo ple. * Hut the construction of railways Is only the first step; Is only thrusting In tKe key jto the storehouse and j throwing back the Idck and opening the door. How the tempting resources p of the country are to be exploited is another matter, to which I shall take the liberty,l.af from time to time call-, Ing your attention, for It is a policy j which omjft be worked out by well considered] states, not upon theory, j but uponrnifen of practical expediency, j It is part of our general problem of conservation. We have a freer hand In working out the problem In Alaska than In the states of the I'nloni Mid yet the principle and object are the same, wherever we touch it. W ! e must use the resources of the oountry, not lock them rffi. There need be no con flict or Jeplrusy as between state and federal authorities, for there can be no essential difference of purpose be- j tween them. The resources In ques- ' tlon must be used, but not destroyed or wnsted; used, but not monopolized upon any narrow Idea of Individual rights as ag'Unst the abiding interests of communities. That a policy, can be worked out by conference and conces sion which will release these resources and yet not jeopard or dissipate j them 1 for one have no doubt; and it can be done on, lines of regulation which need be no less acceptable to the people and governments of , the states concerned than to the people and government of the nation at large, whose heritage these resources are. 1 We must bend our counsels to this end. A commort purpose ought to I make agreement eary. Three or four matters of special Im portance and significance I beg that you will permit me to mention In clos ,n* A Our bureau of mines ought to be ! and ' empowered' to render even more effectual service than it i renders now in improving the condl- | tlons of mine labor and making the mines more economically productive j as well as more safe.

We owfc It.

Every one la eager to add to hit fund of information concerning the Japanese and there are not maay lay men who can tell why the Japs are undersized. Japanese surgeons have made measurements of their army, which show that the smallness of the stature is due entirely to the legs. This Is no doubt due to the fart that from childhood the Japanese practices an unnatural way of sitting upon the legs. When a Japanese child Is old enough to sit upon the floor his legs are bent under him. This in time dwarfs the growth of the limbs Actual deform ity Is less common among the peas ants than among students, merchant* and others of sedentary habits. There Is no doubt the coming Japanese, who are rapidly acquiring Occidental cus toms. will change this habit of sitting uppii the feet. v_ WIFE WON Husband Finally Convinced. , - " Rome people are wise enough to try new foods and beverages and then generous enough to give others tha benefit of their experience.
