President Wil son's annual message to congress to day follows t Whoa I addressed myself to perform ing the duty laid upon the president by the constitution' to present to you an annual : report on the stats of the union, I found my thought dominated bv .ar immortal- sentence of Abraham Lincoln: HLrt us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith , let us dare to do our duty aa we understand it" A sentence immortal because it em bodies in a form of utter simplicity, and - purity the essential faith of the nation, the fail's of which it was eoa eeived and t he faith in which it has grown to glory snd power. With that faith and the birth of a nation found ed upon It came the hope into the world that a new order would prevail throughout th affairs of mankind, aa order ia' which reason aad right would take precedence of coretouaneaa and ee.maris lor us W tneTHIincsTTlfllPT seroths pert we would play alike is the srrangcjnent of our domestic af fairs a,nd in our exercise of influence upoa the affairs of the world. By this faith, and by this faith alone, can the world be lifted out of its present eon fusios sad despair. It was this faith which prevailed over the wicked force of Germany. Ton will remember that the beginning of the end of the war eame when the German people fqund themselves face to face - with the con science of thy world and realized that right waa everywhere arrayed againat the wrong that their goverameat was attempting to perpetrate. I think, therefore, that it ia true to say that this wss the fsith which wan the war. Certainly this is the faith with which oar gallant men went into the field nnd out upon the seas to msks sure of victory. The Mission of Democracy. This is the missionopupoa which democracy came isto the world. Democ racy aa assertion of the right of the individual to live and to be treated Justly a Agaipst any attempt on the part ot aay combination of individuals to make laws which will overburden him or which will destroy his equality among his fellows in the mstter of right or privilege, and X think we all realize that the day has come when democracy; Is being put upon its' final test The Old world is just now-suffer ing from -a wanton rejection ' of - ths-. principle of democracy aad a subatits tioa of the principle of autocracy as asserted ia the name but without ths authority and ssnetion of the muHl tudc. This is ths time of all others when democracy should prove its purity aad ita spiritusl power to prevail. It is surely ths manifest destiny of the United States to lead ia ths attempt to make this spirit prevail. - There are two ways in which the United States ean assist to accomplish mis great object! First, by offering the example within her own borders of ths will sad power of democracy to make aad ea force laws which aro un questionably just and which sre equal ia their administration, laws which seen re its full right, to- labor and yet at th asms time safeguard ths integrity of property, aad particularly of that property whieh is devoted to the de velopment of industry nnd the increase of' the necessary wealth ot the world. Second, by standing for right and justice as towards individual nations. Ths law- of democracy is for the pro tection of tho weak, aad the influence of every democracy in the world should be for ths protection of the wesk na tion, ths nation which Is struggling towarda its ' right aad towsrds its proper recognition and privilege in the family ef nations. The United States cannot ' refuse this role of .champion without putting ths stigma of reject ios upon the great and devoted men who brought its government into existence and established it in tho face of almost universal oppoeitioa ane Intrigue, evea ia ths fees of wanton force, as, for UNLAWFUL TO SELL BOOZE ABOARD AMERICAN VESSELS Oommissioner of Internal Ser ena Sends Instructions 1 -y. ao Ajenis, v ; ' Washington, Dec T??ovialons of the Batiossl prohibition act extended to American ships, whether they be In Am erica n waters, on the high seas, or in. foreign waters, Contmisisoner Wil liams of tho Internal Bevenue v ruled todsy.

One o these is to prove that a great democracy can keep houee as successfully and in aa business-like a fashioa as any other-government. It seems to me that the first step towards proving this is to supply ourselves with a systematic method of handling our estimntes and expenditures snd bring ing them to the point where they will not be sn unnecessary strain upon our income or necessitate unreasonable taxation, in other words, a worksbla budget system, snd I respectfully sug gest tbst two elements ars essential to such a system; namely, fcot only that the proposer of appropriations should be in the hands of a single body, saeh as a single appropriations committee in each house of the Congress, but also that this body should be broughftinto such co-operation with tha department of the government and withthe treas ury of he United Btates as would en able it to act upon a complete ecn sj ectus of the needs of the govern ment and the resources from which it must draw its income. I reluctantly vetoed the budget bill passed, by the last session of the Congress beeanse of a constitutional objection. Tho House of Representatives subaequontly niodv tail the hill ia order to meet this ob- jeetion. ia the revised form'! believe that the bill, counted wilh action' si ready taken by the Congress to revise its' rales and proeeodore, furnishes the foundations for an effective national budget system.
