section can with wisdom spend its
time jeering at the faults of another
section; it 'should be busy, trying to

is necessary to ; have an awakened

is one matter more ' important to re ;
memoer man augnt eise, ana tnat.is
the infinite barm done lay ' preachers

who seek to exeite a violent class hat

porations,, and .for doing away with
the -abuses connected with wealth," in
to" a. campaign of hysterical excite
ment and falsehood , in which, the aim
is to inflame to madness the brutal
passions of mankind. . The sinister
demagogs and foolish visionaries who
are always eager to lindertake such a
campaign of destruction sometimes
seek 4 to associate themselves with
those i working for a genuine, reform
in governmental and social methods,
and sometimes masquarade as tha
reformers. In reality they are the
worst enemies of the cause Jbey pro

enemies of all men who are engaged

Railroad Employees' Honrs and Eight
Hour Law.
I call your ' attention to the need
of passing a bill limiting the number
of hours of employment of railroad
employees. . The measure is a very
moderate one and?! can conceive of
no serious- opjection to it. Indeed, so
far as it is in our power, it should be
our aim steadily to reduce the num
ber of hours of, labor, with as a goal
the general introduction of an eight-i
hour day. There are industries in
which.it is not possible that the hours
of labor should be reduced; just as
there are communities not far enough
advanced for such a movement to be
for their" good, or, ,if in the Tropics,
so situated that there is no analogy
between their needs and ours in this
matter. On the Isthmus of Panama,
for instance, the conditions are in
every way so different from what
they, are here that an, eight hour day,
woum De aDsura; just as it lsaosura,
so far as the Isthmus is concerned,
where white labor can not be employ
ed, to .bother asv to whether, the neces
sary work is done by alien black men
or by alien yellow men. But the
vageworkers of the United States are
of fio high a grade that alike from
the merely industrial ' standpoint and,,
from .the civic standpoint it should
be our object to do what we can in
the direction of securing the general
Employers' Liability.
Among the excellent laws which the
Congress past at the last session was
an employers liability law. It wa3
marked step in advance xo get the
recognition of - employers ' ,, liability on
the statuts hooks; but the law did not
so far .enough- In spite of all precau
tions exereised by employers there are
unavoidable accidents and : even
deaths envolved in nearly every line
of business connected with the me
chanic arts. This as enevitable acri
Hoi bf. life may be reduced to a mini
mum, but it .can not be completely
eliminated. -
Investigation of Disputes Between
. Captial and Labor.
The commission appointed by the
President .October 16, 1902 at the re
quest of both the anthricite coal op
erators and miners, to inquire into,
consider, and pass upon the questions
in controversary in connection with
the strike in the anthracite regions of
Pennsylvania and the causes out of
.which the ; controversary arose, in
their report, findings;; and award I ex
prest the belief that the State and
Federal governments should provide
the machinery for what may be call
ed the compulsory invesigation of
controversies between employers; and
employees wheh they arise. "I I
. ; -' CorpOrat&nr f
; Th present .Congresls has J taken
long strides in the direction of secur
ing proper, supervision; ran4 1 .control
by the 'National , Grove rnment over
corporations engaged in interstate
business and the enormous majority
of corporations of any size are engag
ed - in interstate business. The pas
sage of the railway rate bill, and only
to avless degree the passage cf the.
pure food bill, and the provision for'
increasing and rendering more effec
tive national control over the 4 beef
packing industry, mark an important
advace in the proper , direction. In
the short session it will perhaps be
difficult to do much further along this
line j and it may be best to wait until
the laws have been in operation for a
number of months before endeavoring
to increase their scope, because only
operations - will, show 1 with exactness
their merits and their, shortcominsrs
and thus give opportunity to define
what further remidial degislation is
needed. Yet in my judgment it: will
in the end be advisable in connection
with the packing house inspection law
to provide tor putting a date on the
label and for the packers. All these
laws have already jutified their en
actment ' .
Agriculture.
The only other persons whose wel
fare is as vital to tHe : welfa're of ? the'
whole country as is the welfare of
the wageworkers are the tillejrs of the
soil, the farmers. It is a me're trusim
to -say that no gi-owth of cities, no
growth of wealth, no iuduc.trial de
velopment can atone for any falling
off sin the character and standing of
the farming population. During the
last few decades this fact has bean
recognized with ever-increasing clear
ness. Marriage and Divorce.
;I am well aware of how difficult it
is to pass a constitutional amendment.
Nevertheless in my judgment the
whole question of marriage atid di-;
voree should be , relegated to. the au
thority of the National Congress. At
present the wide difference in the
inns of the differenT 'Siat.es' oh this
subject result in scandals and abuses:
and surely there is nothing so vitally
essential to the welfare of the nation,
nothing around which the nation
should so bend itself to throw every
saf egiiard, as the home life of the
average citizen. The change would
be good- from every standpoint.
International, MoraUtyr-xr'?;
On the 'question' of International
niora!ity Mr. Boosevelt comes out
strongly, advocating clean dealing be
tween the! nations of earth, and also
strongly advaeates international arbi-'
tration as a means of settling all dif
ficulties that may arise. v -American
Shipping.
Let me once again call the atten
tion of the Congress to two subjects
concerning which I have f requenth
before communicated. with them. Ono
is the question of developing Ameri
can shipping.. -1 trust that a law em
bodying in substance the views, or a
msinr rnrf rf iVia vion-c ovnroct Jm
the report on this subject laid before
the House at its last session wjllbe?
past. I. am ; well aware that in former
years objectionable measures have
been proposed in reference to the en
couragement of American shipping;.
but it seems to me that the proposed
measure - is as nearly unobjectionable
as t any can be. ' i
'r ' Currency Befonn.
I especially call your attention to
the second subject, the condition of
our ; currency $ laws. The national
bank act has ably served a great pur
pose; in aiding? the enormous business
development of the country; and
within ten 1 years5 there has been : an
inciease in circulation per capita
from $21.41 to $33.08. For several
years evidence has been accumulating
.that additional legislation is needed.
Our Island Possessions.
It is urged that these shall receive
the careful consideration of Congress
and that tariffs, etc., shall be upon a
just basis.
Army and Navy. .
J The message goes at length into the
matter of the efficiency of our army
and navy. The President is much
gratified at the progress we are mak
ing in both branches of our common
defense. In the matter of rifle prac
tice the President says:
The Congress has most wisely pro
vided for a National Board for the
promotion of rifle practice. Excellent
results' have already cqme from this
law, but it does not go far enough.
Our Regular Army is so small that in
any great, war we should have to
trust - mainly to volunteers; and dn
such event these v volunteers, should
already know how to shoot; for if a
soldier has the i fighting edge, and
ability' to take care of himself in the
open his efficiency on the line of jbat
tlefis almost directly proportionate
'to excellence in markmanship. ; ' We
should' establish shooting gallarres "in
the large public and military' schools,
should maintain - national . target
ranges in different parts of the coun
try, and should in every way encour
age the formation of rifle clubs
throughout, all parts of the land.- The
i little Republic of Switzerland offers
ius an excellent example in all matters
connected with building up an effic-
ieni curzen suim-ery. ; wsT

NEPAL OF PRES. SPENCER

-" Eailroad Magnate 'i by Associates,
Statesmen and Men Eminent in all
Walks of Life Every Train on
Southern System Stopped for rive
Minutes During. Ceremony.
Washington, Speciat All that is
siortal of Samuel Spencer, late pres
ident of the Southern Railway, whost
tragic death on his own railroad on
the morning of Thanksgiving Day
shocked the people of two hemis
pheres, was laid to rest Sunday af
ternoon in the receiving vault at Oak
Hill Cemetery, there to f await final
disposition. , ) -.
A notable tribute was paid to the
memory of the distinguished railroad
magnate by his associates, by states
men and by men eminent in all the
walks of. .public life." The funeral
obsequies, held in historic St. John's
Protestant Episcopal church, were at
tended by railroad officials, finan
Yeiers and public men from all parts
of-the country.
At & o'clock the services began,
and at the same instant throughout
the system of railroads lately presid
ed over by Mr. Spencer, every train
came, to a dead stop, every wheel
ceased to turn, every employe put
aside his work. For five minutes ov
er the thousands of miles of railway
every employe paid silent respect to
the. dead president. r
TRD3UTE TO SAMUEL SPENCER.
Voting Trustees and Board of Direct
ors in Joint Meeting Adopt Min
utes to Be Printed in 'Press -Along
Washington, D. C, Special At a
joint meeting of the voting trustees
of the board of directors of the South
era Railway Co., held at its office
the following minute was adopted
to be entered on the records and pub
lished at length in the press upon the
lines of the Southern Railway:
. il Samuel Spencer, born in Colum
bus,? Ga., March 2, 1847, died Nov.
22?-1906,- near Lawyers- Station,-Vrr-ginia,
upon the railroad of the South
ern Railway Company, of which he
was the first and only president. The
personal qualities of Mr. Spencer;
his integrity in heart and mind; his
affectionate and genial disposition;
his loyal and courageous spirit; his
untiring devotion to duty; his pre
sident achievement oi worthy ends ;
and his comradeship on the field oi
battle of affairs and of manly spoit
combined to establish him in the lov
ing regard of hosts of friends in ev
ery seetioc of his country, and ? no
where more securely than in the af-'
lection of . his iellow-workers" in the
service of the Southern Railway Com
pany. The importance of his service
to! this company is a matter of com
mon knowledge throughout the rail
road world; but the character, the ex
tent, and the consequence of that
service are and can be appreciated at
tbeir full worth only by his associates
now gathered here to attest their re
gard ,for,biniand-.to..,record their,
high estimate 6f his life and work.
"Upon June 18th,: 1894, on the
completion to the Richmond terminal,
a re-organization conceived by J. Pi
erpont Morgan and conducted by his
partner, Charles II. Coster, the first
meeting of . the Southern , Railway
Company was called to order at Rich
mond by Samuel Spencer as presi
dent. In that, calendar year, the
Southern Railway Compa-ny embrac
ed 4,391 miles of road, with 623 lo
comotives and 19,694 cars, which car
ried 3,427,858 passengers and 6,673,
750 tons of freight and earned $16,
43,298. ' In the last fiscal year, the
Southern Railway system embraced
7,515 miles of road with 1,429. loco-"
motive!, and 42,110 cars, which car
ried 11,663,550 passengers . and 27.
339,337 tons of freight, and earned
$53,641,438, The number of em
ployes had increased from 16,718,
I June 30th; 1895, to 37,003 June 30th,
iyUb, and the wages paid trom $0,
712,796 - to $21,189,020. The full de
tails and impressive character of this
remarkable advent, too extended for
present recital, are exhibited in the
masterly communeiation which upon
February 1. 190C, Mr. , Spencer ad
dressed to Messrs. J. P. Morgan , &
Co., as . the basis of the development
and general mortgage.
V4 In this progress every step had
been initial and conducted : by Mr.
Spencer with the cordial concurrence
of the voting trustees and the board
of directors, and it is 'significant of
tlie conservative and cautioned po
sition of Mr; fepejf.cer and his sup
porters, and this prr nominal enlarge
ment of the system and its business
was not made the basis of any in
crease i in dividends beyond the
amount contemplated and stated '"i
the plans : of ' IS93 w'th reference to
the iDioDOities originally re-organi.-
;ed. Every dollar that could be bor
rowed - under 1 1 evident Spender ;s
management -was Jut into Ihe proper-
ty in tne ettort to enable it to meet
the every increase in, demands of the
vigorous .: and -.wonderful growth of
the South and - its: industries. The
mighty fabric, which for 12 years he
had been molding, must continue im:
der others to develop and - to. improva
in the service that shall render to the
public, but never; can it cease to bear
"the impress, or to reveal the con
tinuing impulse of the master mind
of its first president: In the height'
of his usefulness and his powers he
has been called away, but the inspir
ation of the shining example and his j
lotty standards must ever animate
his successors. t V
"To many corporations conducting
the commerce of the country as well
as the Southern Railway, ' did Mr.
Spencer render invaluable service and
all of them will share in our sense of
loss and personal grief. As their
chosen spokesman in the tremenduous
agitation culminating; in the congre
gation action of 1906, his mastery of
his subject, his "dignity of bearing
and. his integrity of characted com
mend the confidence and approval of
the vast. interests whose constitution
al rights it became his duty to as
sert and to protect. To the great
public not less tha nto the, commer
cial interest . did he recognize his ob
ligation. How well he conceived j
how admirably he performed that
duty, was indicated in the last of his
public addresses, his last message to
his friends in the South, delivered at
Montgomery, Ala., on October 25th,
1906, an address which deserves wide
circulation and close consideration,
not only in his own South that he
loved so well, but 'throughout the
whole country which he had learned
to know far better than most of its
citizens ; wherever born. His chosen
career has closed but the wisdom and
and the ; virtue that chaacterized
that career will abide as long as
there shall be a regard for duty
bravely done and for high service gal
lantly rendered.
"To his family we extend our deep
and most respectful sympathy and
our assurance that for them, as well
as for his associates, honor and hap
piness will, ever result from their re
lationto Samuel., Spencer, .that just
and upright man and officer. " .
