tits the men for theii own protec
tion, and leaves them more help
less than any similar number of'
men could possibly be. He defi
antlv lavs down the doctrine that
the day has gone hy wlien corpo
rations can handle their gleat
wealth and power in defiance of
the public which created the wealth, i
I his is taken to he the keynote of
what the president proposes to do I
in his tour years commencing next
March. He promulgates the
growing dot-trim- of the need of the
government to take possesion of |
the mountain tops in great forest |
reserves, not altogether for the sav-,
ing of the timla-r, though that will !
he incidental, hut as the source of 1
all the river systems, which a ret
destined to destruction hy timber
denudation of the mountains. He
recommends a thorough revision of
the naturalization laws, which, he]
declares, are discouraging to the
conscientious, and yet is a wide
open door to the unscrupulous.
