SUGGESTION TO ROOSEVELT.
Chicago Paper Tells Him How to Cone
dense His Coming Mossage.
Already the Washington correspond-
ents are writing President Roosevelt's
message for him-—aldeit he is still in
possession of his voice and can com-
mand the services of a typewriter.
If, however, Mr. Roosevelt intends
to cover one-half of the ground laid
out for him by the correspondents our
advice to him is to issue his message
in serial form, says the Chicago Rec-
ord-Herald. He has the pen of a ready
writer and an exhaustless fund of
(deas of his own to draw on, and yet
he is sald to contemplate the incer-
poration of the reports of his cabinet
officers in his own reviews of ‘‘the
state of the Union” and recommenda-
tion of those things he judges “neces-
sary and expedient” for the considera-
tion of congress.
If President Roosevelt will consult
the sound sense of the American
people he will make kis mcssage
unique in the history of modern
presidential messages by its brevity.
He can say all that is necessary to be
said at this time {in a message of 5,000
words, and by using the reports of the
departments as appendixes in less
Space,
The constitutional idea of the presi-
dent's message was that it was for
the “information” of congress and the
people. But that was before the daily
press had come to keep the pablic bet-
ter informed as to the state of the
union than it could be if presidential
messages were issued weekly.
The president cannot do better be-
tween mow and the first week in De-
cember than to devote his spare time
—0f which he will not have too much
{0 the strenuous task of condensing
what Is necessary and eliminating
what is unnecessary to be said in his
first message to congress, He should
be familiar with the superiority in
range and accuracy of a rifl over a
blunderbuss.
Every unnecessary word in a presi-
dent's message increases thy oppor-
tunity for error.
