did not touch general issues farther
than to sum up his best advice as fol-

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Sioux Falls, s. D., April Elm his ad
dress on 1.-THE Wage Workers and the
Tiller of the Soil," delivered here today,
President Roosevelt said in part:
I'm country like ours it is funda-
mentally true that the well-being of
the tiller of the soil and the wage
worker Is the well-being of the state. If
they are well off, then we need concern
ourselves but little as to how other
classes stand, for they will inevitably
be we'll off too; and, on the other hand
there can be no real general prosperity
unless based on the foundation of the
prosperity of the wage-worker and the
tiller of the soil.
but the needs of these ,two classes
are often not the same. The tiller of
the soil has been of all our citizens the
one on the whole the least affected in
his ways of life and methods Of indus
try by the giant industrial changes of
the last half century. There has been
change with him, too, of course. He
also can work to best advantage If he
keeps in close touch with his fellows;
and the success of the national Depart
ment of Agriculture has shown how
much can be done for him by rational
action of the government. Nor is 1t on
ly through the department that the
government can act. One of the
greatest and most benef1cent measures
passed by the last congress. or indeed
by any congress in recent years, is the
Irrigation act, which will do for the
states of the great plains and the Roc
ky Mountain region at least as much
as ever has been done for the states OF
the humid region by river and harbor
improvements. Few measures that
have been put upon the statute books
of the nation have done more for the
people than this law will, I firmly be-
lieve, directly and indirectly, accom-
plish for the states in question"
He reviewed the work Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in protecting cattle
growers and in inspection of meats, In
introducing new grains suitable for diff
ferent sections of the country, in aiding
fruit growers by the study of methods
Of fruit preservation, in the preserva-
tion of the forests, and in encouraging
good roads. The President then said:
-But the wage-workers in our cities,
like the capitalists in our cities, face
totally changed conditions. The devel-
opment of machinery and the extraor-
dinary changes in business conditions
have rendered the employment Of capi-
tai and Of persons In large aggrega-
tions not merely profitable, but often
necessary for success, and have spec
ialized the labor Of the wage-worker at
the same time that they have brought
great aggregations Of wage-workers to-
gether, More and more in our great In
dustrial centers men have come to real
ize that they can not live as indepen-
IDENTIFY Of one another as in the old
days was the case everywhere, and as
ia now the case in the country districts.
"Of course, fundamentally each man
will vet find that the chief factor In
determining his success or failure in life
ia the sum Of his own individual quail
ties. He can not AFFORD to lose his In
dividual initiative, his individual will
and power; but he can best use that
