the Small-MOrninS Visit to Helena.

BUTTE, Mon, May 27.-To the working
men of Butte, who had control of his re-
ception here, President Roosevelt to-day
spoke his mind as TO the course of conduct
which he thinks labor organizations ought
TO follow.
"Great good has come from the develop
ment OF our railroad system; great good
porations that have made that develop
ment possible, and in return good is done
to them and not harm when they are re-
quired to obey the law. Ours is govern
Inent of liberty, by, through and under the
law.
No man is above it, and no man is below
it, The crimes of cunning, the crimes Of
greed, the crimes of violence are equally
crimes, and against them all alike that law
must set its face. This is not and never
shall be government either of a plutocracy
or of a mob.
ut is. it has been and il will he govern
ment of the people, including alike the
people of great wealth. moderate wealth
and the people who employ others. the
people who are employed, the wage worker
the lawyer. the mechanic, the banker. the
farmer, including them all. protecting each
and every one il he acts decently and
squarely. and discriminating against any
one of them. no matter from what class
he comes, if lie does not act souarely and
fairly, if he does not obey the law.
while all people are foolish to violate
or rail against the law, wicked as we'll al
foolish, but all foolish, vet the most foolish
man in this republic is the man OF wealth
who complains because the law is ad-
ministered with impartial justice against
or for him.
His folly g greater than the folly Of
any other man who so complains. for he
lives and moves and has his being because
the law does in fact protect him and his
property. He has the right to ask every
decent citizen to rally TO the support of the
law if it is ever broken against the interest
of the rich man. and we have the same
right to ask that rich man cheerfully and
gladly 10 acquiesce in the enforcement
against his seeming interest Of the law il
it Is the law. Incidentally. whether he
acquesces or not. the law will be enforced
whoever he may be, great or small, at which,
ever end Of the social scale he may be.
whether his offence take the shape of
crime or greed or cunning or whether 1t Ike
the shape of physical violence if 1t is an
offence against the law it must be stopped
and at need punished.
The President visited Helena for four
: ..uurs this morning. He passed through
almost every street Of the city. He brought
over to Butte with him distinguished
company of men of Montana. including
Col. W. F Sanders. ex-senator Thomas II.
Carter, Capt. Seth Bullock. John Willis,
the Thompson Falls hunter, and many

management of the fight in the hands Of

Vice-President Mcconnell of the Fuller
company declined to talk on the subject
yesterday 1t was learned. however. that
one reason for the company holding back
is that while it has contracts all over the
