/. Political Problems. Tho speaker

professional politician will be as truly
respectable as the teacher or Journalist.
We need not fewer politicians but 'n;tcr
ones. We need that every one of the -.
600 600 people shall honestly desire to PEI
form their civic duty There is need fer
the professional politician. The duty is
to break the approximation of Necessity
Of party allegiance Some men have gore
daft on party fealty. The time will come
when we will regard parties just ~ go
regard competing lines of railroads, and
we will use the one that we believe will
best carry us to the desired destination.
Mr.. Godkin says it cannot be solved till
we put fit men in office and adopt plat
forms for independent men. In quoting
MIR Codkin he said he did not endors"
all he said but Larry Godkin has lucid

9. The doing away with the inherited
suspicion between the sections. Patriot
ism is distributed the country over in
pretty even genuineness The speaker
was proud to be an adopted citizen OF
the first Northern city that dared to erect
a monument to the fallen wcarers OF the
gray. Today in that city survivors ere
putting flowers on the graves of the .ner
, who wore the blue and likewise they will
garland the graves OF those who wore
the gray No longer do war issues move
men. We think of the heroism OF both
sections as England shows its pride hy
hanging side by side the trophies Of the
Cavalier and the Roundhead. American
manhood was seen in Picketts and
Meade's command. He said:
One week ago at my table in Chicago
there sat down to dinner with us two Fed
=, cral soldiers and the chaplain Of the
University of Chicago One of the sol
ders, after discussing problems in the
South said with emphasis: 1T was the
most colossal blunder of the North to
dump down on our Southern brethren
thousands Of men wholly unprepared for
suffrage Each of the men agreed to this
ment would have been regarded as hcresy.
You understand the conditions here.
Henry Cabot Lodge is rot dead but he is
not the whole North. We cannot give
you any lessons in politics any longer"
CAT this point DR.. Small said he feared
he was speaking too long, but DR. Taylor
said Take all the time you want" and
the audience seconded the motion by gen,
crous applause).
g. Industrial problems. The productive
side will take care of itself. We have
learned to control production. The prob
lem is distribution. "Now there are the
Trusts. | presume that you suspect that
every man in the faculty OF the Chicago
University has q pipe line connection with
the office of the Standard Oil Company.
We know as much about the Duke OF
Wellington as about that. We know as
much about Carnegie as about ROckfel-
ler's affairs | may say all-loOk alike
to us There isn't such n thing today
as the trust Of the old fashion. 1t proved
To be q clumsy way OF doing business.

tons or are huStling TO get themselves

ley, their friend, is Presidcnt?-EditorD
The problem is how to make these corpo-
rations the servants of the people and
not their masters. In the life Of the
world we have passed through anarchy
into feudalism. from feudalism to mon
archy from monarchy to a Republic. In
the matter of trusts we are passing
through n like development. We have
passed out of the era of anarchy. we arc
now in the feudal era of trust regulation,
soon We will be getting into the monarchy
of syndicates which will flower into q
democracy where the people will in the
Goth Century Democracy use it for the
good of all the people. A man who lived
on Staten Island was hurrying to his
suburban home with an arm full of bum
dies He thought the boat was leaving
and jumped into it. knocking a man down
Well | caught the boat he said, as he
landed on his feet Yes. you blamed
fool said the man knocked down. you
made it, but the ferry is coming in and
not going out. | personally believe that of
all the labor saving out of the Nineteenth
Century will be demonstration the posi-
bility of organization in business when
controlled for and by the people"
A. Religious problems. Religion is that
without which human life is at best
failure. No civilization is great except in
proportion to its ability to feel the pres
ence of God. In Paris, there is no men
ticn of God or immortality on the monu-
ments of the great. We are suffering
from two causes: l. The od-sinfulness
of the human heart; 2. The new, misun-
derstood theological investigation and
higher criticism. He spoke of the work
of those engaged in what is called higher
criticism. We have misunderstood the
Importance and proportions of their work
We must not refuse to take the bread
of life because we do not understood "'l
