'uellNeTeu August ~, lJUl:
Every man who does his
work well, whether he is work
ing as big capitalist, as
traoesman, as a skilled mechan-
ic, IA farmer, laboring man;
no matter how he is working, if
he does his work we'll, so as
to benefit himself and those
dependent upon him he also is
doing his duty to his country
as whole.
1t is true of all our citizens
that the mans fir st duty is to
himself and his family, and that
he cannot do any further duty
until he has performed that.
But that is not enough. II he
stops there he can but be poor
citizen. 1t is the essential, it
is the foundation. No house
ever yet was worth anything
without good foundation.
You have got to have a super
structure on it. You have got
to have a disinterested work
done for the state.
Now. word in connection
with the Spanish. American
war. There was not enough
war to go around, and it was
merely an accident as to who
had the good fortune actually
to get to the front. That was
the accident. The question of
glory was an accident. The
great point was the willingness
to do duty shown by those who
wanted to go, who stood rea dy
to go if the need should arise.
AS 1 said before, we must
have the material prosperity; it
must be there so that on it we
can build and raise the super.
structure of the country, the
finer life, But woe to us if we
have only that material pros.
perity. We must have some.
thing higher and finer and
greater and deeper than that.
Illinois. sons, those whose
memory serves as an lnspira
ton to every man, young or
old, within her borders, those
whom he most delights to hon.
or, who are they? Lincoln and
Grant, and those who in the
field followed the silent soldier
or those who, like your great
father Ito Governor Yates, up
held tine laws. And the sad,
patient, kindly president, who
for four years worked and suf
fered for 1the people, and then
uncomplainingly gave his life
that the task which he had
striven with almost more thar
mortal strength for might final.
iy be fulfilled in his blood. Yor
have owed much, and you owe
much now, you of Illinois, to
the architects of your materia
prosperity. Make nc mistake
about that. Never be misled
into feeling that the men whC
have built up the wealth of the
commonwealth are it's enemies
and not it's friends.

monopolistic tendency.
No hard and fast rule can be
laid down as 10 where our leg
islation shall stop in interior
ing between man and man, be-
tween interest and interest. All
that can be said is that it is
highly undesirable on the one
hand to weaken individual i'll
itative, and. on the other hand,
that in a constantly increasing
number of cases we shall find it
necessary in the future to
shackle cunning as in the past
we have shackled force.
1t is not only highly desira-
bic but necessary that here
should be legislation which
shall carefully shield the inter.
ests of wageworkers and which
shall discriminate in favor of
the honest and humane employ

tioDs. The vast individual and
corporate fortunes, the vast
combinations Of capital which
have marked the development
OF our industrial system, create
new conditions auA necessitate
change from the old attitude
of the state and nation toward
prosperity.
This is the attitude we must
take on the Monroe doctrine.
If we are wise we shall strenu.
ously insist that under no pre-.
text whatever shall there be
any territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
on American soil
We do not by this doctrine
intend to sanction the policy of
aggression by one American
commonwealth at the expense
of any other, nor any policy of
commercial discrimination
against any foreign power
whatsoever. Commercially, as
far as this doctrine is concern.
ed, all we wish is fair field
and no favor, but if we are
wise we shall strenuously insist
that under no pretext whatso,
ever, shall there be any terri
torlal ACKNOWLEDGMENT on Amer
lean soil by any European
power.

PAINE MONUMENT TO BE MOVED

movements in New Rochelle, \. "

NEW YORK. March 25.-The transfer
nation of North Street, in New Rochelle
or-the-Sound into a modern boulevard TO
connect that city with White Plains and
the villages on the Hudson River is now
in progress The plans contemplate
macadamized road which will be one Of
the finest speedHays for horsemen. auto

county. if not in the State. The boulevard
will be eighty feet wide and three miles
long. on each side Il wide space viii be
left for sidewalks, trees, and shrubbery-
Aside from its beauty as a drive and
scenic attractions North Street has his
tOriCdI associations. Years ago il was the
favOrite route Of the stage coaches which
were driven from the interior Of Connect
cut and Westminster county to meet the
Sound boats, with their landings at New
Rochelle. The first Methodist Episcopal
Church in the county and the second in
the State stood on this ancient thorough
fare. When George Whitfield, the evan
geiiSt, visited this country he preached to
large congregations IN the old church
North Street is also famous because of
its associations with the memory of
Thomas Paine To complete the bouIe-
ward the Paine Monument viii have to be
moved. This has caused some anxiety to
the admirers of the author II The Age
OF Reason, many of whom live in New
Rochelle 1t seems probable that land
adjoining the present site of the mOuu-
ment Will be acquired, so that it can be
moved back far enough to make space
for the boulevard
The monument was erected fifty years
ago. The body of Paine is not buried near
the monument It was stolen twenty-five
years after burial, and is supposed to
have been taken to England in a saiIbg2t
where the rObber expected to lay il with
Shakespeare and Bacon ii Westminster

gland refused to receive it and consigned
it to the Thames Other reports say that
the body was exhibited in a museum, and
