STRIKING CONTRAST.

The success of the law for the an
nexation of franchises recently enacted
in New York State offers a striking
contrast to the complete breakdown Of
the species of crude and violent anti
uust legislation, which has been so
often attempted and which has always
failed because of its very crudeness
and violence to make any impression
upon the real and dangerous evils
which have excited such just popular
resentment.
We shall all go up or down together.
Some may go up or down further than
others, but disregarding special eX-
ceptions, the rule is that we must all
share in common something of what
ever adversity, or whatever prosperity
IS in store for the Nation as a whole
In the long run each section OF the
community will rise or fall as the
enormity rises CT falls. If hard times
come to the nation whether as the re-
suit of natural causes, or because they
are invited by our own folly, all of us
will suffer. Certain of us will suffer
more and others less. But all will
suffer somewhat. If on the other hand
providence and our energy and good
sense bring prosperity to us, all will
share in that prosperity. We will not
all share alike. but something each one
of us will get. Let us strive to make
conditions of life such as that nearly
as possible each man shall receive the
share to which he is honestly entitled
and no more; and let us remember at
the same time that our efforts must be
TO build up rather than to strike down,
and that we can best help ourselves,
not at the expense Of others, but by
heartily working with them for the
common good of each and all

At Chicago, Governor Roosevelt
spoke as follows:
BY far the greatest problem, the
most far reaching in its Jtupendous m
portance IS that problem, - rl'her
that group of problems, which we have
grown to speak of as the labor ques-
tion.
The foundation of sur whole social
structure rests upon the material and
moral we'll being, the intelligence,
the foresight, the sense of duty and
the wholesale patriotism of the wage
worker. This is doubly the case now.
for, in addition to each mans indivii-
ual action, you have learned the great
lesson of acting in combination. It
would be impossible to over estimate
the farreaching influence of and on the
whole. the amount of good done
through your associations. In address
ing You the one thing that | wish TO

any mere high sounding phraseology,

VALUE OF PROMISES.

The one fact which all of us need to
keep steadfaStly before our eyes is the
need that performance should square
with promise if good work is to be
done, whether in the industrial or the
political world. Nothing does more
to prompt mental dishonesty and NOR
al insincerity than that the absence CT
either promising to the impossible or
of demanding the performance of the
impossible, or finally of failing to
keep promis made, and it makes not
the slightest difference whether it is a
promise made on the stump or off the
stump. Remember that there are two
sides to the wrong thus committed.
There is first the wrong of falling to
keep a promise made and in the next
place there is the wrong of demanding
the impossible, and therefore forcing
or permitting weak or INSCRIPTIONS
men to make a promise which they
either knew, or should know, can not
be kept. No small part of the troubles
in dealing with many of the gravest
social questions such as the so-called
labor questions, the trust question,
and others like them, arise from these
two attitudes.

FUNDAMENTAL LAW.

The fundamental law of healthy po-
litical life in rliis great republic is that
each man shall in deed and not mere
ly in word, be treated strictly on his
worth as a man; and that each shall
do full justice to his fellow, and in re-
turn shall exact full justice from him,
Each group of men has split in this;
and vet the higher, the broader and
daener interests and those which ap-
ply to all men alike; for the spirit of
brotherhood In American citizenship,
when everything rightly understood
ana rightly applied Is more important
than aught else. Let us scrupulously
guard the special Interests of the wage
worker, the farmer, the manufacturer

GOOD OF ORGANIZATlON.

In the country districts the sur
roundings are such that man can us
ually work out his own fate by himself
to the best advantage. In our cities,
Or where men cOngregate in masses, it
is often necessary to work in combi-
nation; that is through associations;
by trade unions. OF course, if man
aged unwisely the very power of such
union or organization, makes it cap
able cf doing harm; but on the whole
il would be hard to overestimate the
good these organizations have done in
he past. and still harder to estimate
he coed they can do in the future if
landed with resolution, forethought,
honesty and sanity.

RIGHT TO REGULATE.

We have exactly the same right to
egulate the conditions of life and
work in factories and tenement houses
bat we have to regulate fire escapes
and the like in other houses. In GER
ain communities the existence of a
thoroughly efficient department of fac
0ly inspection is just as essential as
he establishment of a fire department.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

In addressing an audience like this
do not have TO say that the law OF
ifa is work, and that work in itself 50
iur from being any hardship is a great
blessing, provided always it is carried
IN under conditions which preserve a
mans self respect and which allow
MIN to develop his own character and
"ear his children so that he and they
Us well as the whole community in
which he and they are part, may
steadily march onward and upward.
The idler, rich or poor, is at hest use
less and is generally a nOXious member
Of the community. To whom much
las been given, from him much is
righfully expected; and a heavy bur
den Of possibility rests upon the
nan of means to justify by his actions
he social conditions which have rend-
red it possible for him or his fore
'aJherS to accumulate and to keep the
property he enjoys. He is not to be
excused If he does not render "A full
measure of service TO the state and the
community at large, There are many
ways in which this service can be
rendered. In art in literature. in phil
anthropy; as a stateman and a soldier;
but in some way he is in honor bound
10 render it, 80 that the benefit may
accrue to his brethren who have been
less favored by fortune than he has
been. In short, he must work not on
ly for himself but for others. If he
does not work he fails not only in his
luty to the rest of the community but
ne fails signally in his duty to himself.
There is no need of envying the idle.
Ordinarily We can afford to treat them
with impatient contempt; for when
hey fail to do their duty, they fail to
get from life the highest and keenest
pleasure that life can give.
To do our duty; this is summing up
the whole of the matter. We must do
our duty by ourselves and we must do
our duty by our neighbors.
GREAT PROBLEMS.
Before us loom industrial problems,
vast in their Importance and in their
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-09-06

complexity. The last half century
has been one of extraordinary social
and industrial development. The
changes have been far-reaching, some
of them for good and some Of them for
evil. 1t is not given to the wisest of
us to see into the future with absolute
clearness. No man can be certain
that he has found the entire solution
of this infinitely great problem and
each man of us if he would do his duty
and strive manfully so far as in him
lies, to help bring about that solution.
1t is not as yet possible to say what
shall be the exact limit of influence al
lowed the state or what limit shall be
set TO that right of individual initiat-
i've so dear to the hearts of American
people. All we can say is that the
need has been shown on the one hand
for action by the people in their col
ective capacity through the state in
many matters; that in other matters
much can be done by associations of
different groups of individuals, as in
trades unions and similar organiza-
tions and that in other matters it re-
mains now as true as ever that final
success will be for the man who trusts
in the struggle only to his cool head.
his brave heart and his strong right
arm. There are spheres in which the
state can properly act and spheres in
which comparatively free field must
he given to individual initiative.
STANDARD OF CITIZEN SHIP.
Though the conditions of life have
grown SO puzzling in their compleXity,
though the changes have been 50 vast,
yet we remain absolutely sure of one
hing. that, now, as in the past and as
it will ever be in the future there can
he no substitute for the elemental vir-
tues. for the elemental qualities to
which we alude when we speak of
man as not cnly a good man, but as
emphatically a man. We can build up
the standard of citizenship and indi-
vidual well-being, we can raise the Ma
tional standard and make it what it
can and shall be made only by each
of us steadfastly keeping in mind that
here can be no substitute for the
wOrld-old, humdrum, common place
qualities of truth, justice and courage,
thrift, industry, common sense and
genuine sympathy with, and fellow
feeling for others. The nation is the
aggregate effect of individuals compos-
ing it, and each individual American
raises the nation higher when he con-
ducts himself SO as to wrong no man,
and to suffer no wrong from others,
and as to show both his sturdy capa-
city for self help and his readiness to
extend helping hand to the neigh
Dor sinking under a burden too heavy
for him to bear.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-09-06

and the merchant giving to each man
his due and also seeing that we do not
wrong his fellows; but let us ever
keep clearly before our minds the great
fact. that where the deepest chords
are touched. the interests of all are
alike and must he good alike.
AVOID HATRED.
We must beware of any attempt to
make hatred the basis of action. Most
emphatically each of us needs to
stand up for his own rights: all men
and all groups of men are bound TO
retain their self respect and demand
ing this self respect from others to see
that they are not injured and that
they have secured to them the fullest
liberty of thought and action, but to
feel that grudge against others,
while it may or may not harm them,
is sure in the long run 10 do Infinitely
greater harm to the man himself.
FELLOW FEELING.
The more healuhy American sees of
ones fellow American the greater
grows his conviction that our chief
iroubles come from mutual misunder-
standing. from failure to appreciate
one another's point of view. In other
words. the great need is fellow feeling
sympathy. brotherhood; and all lhls
nearly comes by association. 1t IS,
therefore. of vital Importance that
there should be such an organization.
The most serious disadvantage in city
life is the tendency Of each man to
keen isolated in his own little set and
to look upon the vast majority Of his
fellow citizens indifferently. so that
he soon forgets that they have the
same red blood, the same love and hate,
The same likes and dislikes. the same
desire for good. and the same perpet-
nal tendency ever needing to be
checked and corrected, to lapse from
good into evil. If only our people can
he thrown together where they act on
a common ground with the same mot
ives and have the same objects, we
need not have much fear of their fail
ing to acquire a genuine respect for
one another: and with such respect
here must finally come fair play for
