A MODEL MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Congress, sincer

Ad patriotism no clearer duty than.vjir material.

Baith but with Imperfect understand- 't.YPr. H. Tavennkb to he focusseil

aae, before entering upon the con- Itcpreacntntive with "leave to print"
slderatlon of these great questions Of lietter suits bis wayward genius. To
I IBS B ucuve legiautlon which the , Colonel Thompson he rejilles by In
aUte of the Union and the state of 'limiting that lie Is going to Introduce
th world force upon us, to withdraw ' resolution In the House calling for

your minds the greater part of the ' ,h N,,v-V Ixatu' ' nllrt a,,1 not
raoommendatlona and exhortations
Which I addressed to the Senators and
Representatives of the Sixty-third
at the opening of the third
don of that Congress, just one
year ago.
And first of all, and particularly.
the following remarks, which I now i
to have been Infelicitous In con
ception snd unfortunate In utterance:
"Th road at last ilea clear and arm
Bator bttatneas. It Is a road which It can
travel without fear or embarrassment, it
Is tha read to ungrtidsed, unrloudad auc
eeea 1 K avery man ahn selteVM that
IB public Interest Is part of his own In
fftat may walk with perfrct evnfldrnca."
I withdraw thi because I now per
oalvo that the road before business
cannot lie clear and firm, leading tn un
clouded success, while the supervisory
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, for Instance, practically
extend to the direct management of
railway finance through the fixing of
rSjlss by affirmative action. I long ago
pointed out that the end of such a sys
tem of governmental control can only
be Government ownership. I now
frankly return to that earlier and
sounder view of the relation of our
Government to the nation's railway
system. Likewise do I now perceive
and declare, as against all previous ex
pressions of mine on the subject, that
the road cannot lie clear and firm be
fore business as long as business sees
stalking toward it down that road the
dread spectre of Government competi
tlod with private initiative and en
deavor, as in the matter of the ocean
carrying trade. Wipe out from your

tariff question was happily closed and
that the tariff situation, as arranged
by the Wilaon-l'nderwood act. was
such ss to enable us "to serve man
kind and to serve greatly" In a com
msreial way, except only u wc needed
the merchant ships which the Govern -msat
ought to provide in order "to
serve mankind and serve greatly, gen
erously." I was as wrong in one re
spect ss In the other. In order to take
advantage of the unprecedented op
portunities which present conditions
offer to American manufacturing en- ,
icrpnse ana inuti.-iry, in rlrr. all
to meet without unusual and oppres
sive taxation the now glaringly ap
parent deficiencies in the nation's
revenue, an Intelligent revision of the
tariff, in the Interest not of mankind
but of Amerlcankintl, is more neces
eary now than ai any previous time
in our economic history. Humbly
an I frankly I admit the mistake and
call your attention to the fact -may
I not say to the main chance?
In the third place, anil most im
portant of all. a year ago I toltl you
thla. In deprecating the idea that the
nation had aught to fear from lack of
military or naval preparedness:
'M Is said in SOras quarter that we art,

under the new law, as Indeed under

IN THE PERIODICAL ROOM.
A New and Exacting Theory of the
F anetlon of the Psbllc Library.
To tms Koitos or Thi 8i:n- Sir: The
periodical room of the New Tork Pub
Ik; Library la a great pity. Suppose
the Metropolitan Museum of Art ware
run on the same plan. This would be
the procedure : The seeker of cul
ture and what not applies to an official,
saying, "Please, may I see The Horse
Fair,' " which, heaven help him, to prob
ably what he doe want most to see,
and the official after considerable red
taping has the picture brought and
hung before the applicant. He sits and
gases. If he can think of another he
orders that. "Washington Crossing the
Delaware," perhaps. His thirst for art
not yet slaked, he wants another, but
hi knowledge ta at an end. He may
look at the catalogue ; there are all the
pictures indexed, and he may order
any one be pleases, but there is an
enormous number of them, all mere
names to 'him: If he could have lust a
gllmpee of them all be could In a mo
ment select those that he wanted to
look at But the catalogue discourages
htm: he departs, feeling a little futile.
He doesn't come again.
This la precisely what happens In the
perlodtoal room of the library. Not a
student or a scholar, the visitor comes
with a definite purpose. He want
somethlns to read and goes In to get a
hint of what it ta. All ready for perusal
are magaiines on subjects such as
philology, philoeophy, geology, Kapar
anto, law and such. A man at the
teiMe has an it Has tic VonfAly, but
there Is a lynx eyed woman sitting
next him. ostensibly rending the No
t rile Revue, but really waiting to pounce
on the Atlantic th moment It Is re
turned to the shelf. A man who can't
read Oerman la turning over the pages
of the Dcuttchti Rundachau and wonder
ing how long the woman will take with
the Atlantic when she does get it. So
he turns away.

THE LEE MEMORIAL.
Pickett's Charge and Its Cost Is the
Meade .Monument Adequate?
To th f EniTos or Tits 8r Sir; Is
It not unfortunate that th elaborate
and doubtless very beautiful memorial
of General Lee, which 1s described In
Sunday' Sun, Is to stand on the spot
Where he committed his coat 11 eat and
least excusable blunder, refusing to heed
the advice of tils wisest Ueutenant,
Longstreet, and ordering fifteen thou
sand of hi finest troops to attempt an
impossible task, which cost the lives
or limbs of more than half of their
number?
I can readily agree that those men
may be entitled to a monument for
thotr valor; but why should their com
mander be honored for his blunder and
ttieir sacrifice? Would U not be better
to place the memorial on some spot
where General Lee stood when he had
a great and decisive triumph, destroy
ing a large army or compelling Us
surrender?
Some years ago I had an interesting
conversation with General Aksxandor
fl. Webb, who held the centre of the
national line where Plokett'e blow fell,
end in the course of our talk he said :
"I am rathax tired of nil this dis
cussion of Pickett' charge, as if that
were the whole story. Nobody attpewrn
to have anything to say sibout Webb
and Webb' men, who broke that charge
and sent Pickett back defeated."
It appears to me that his criticism
wss Just.
By the way, Is General Meade, the
victor 1n that great battle, ever to have
a memorial eonuneneimtte wdth the ono
that la now befig erected to the van
quished? I believe there Is a modest
statu of Jiim on the field of Ma tri
