If such spirit grows UP in this re-

us, as in the past il has proved fatal 10
every community in which il has be
come dominant. Unless we continue TO
keep Il quick and lively sense of the
great fundamental truth that our con
Germ is with the individual worth OF

cannot permanently hold the place
(which it has achieved among the na-

among our people do not correspond
and. indeed, run at right angles 10 the
lines OF cleavage which divide occupa-
ton from occupation, which divide
wageworkers from capitalists. farmers
from bankers. men OF small means
from men OF large means. men who I've
in the towns from men who live in the
country. for the vital line of cleavage
is the line which divides the honest
man who tries TO do well by his neigh

The first conference of nations held

dispose of all the business before it,

questions by another conference to be

lowing: % The rights and duties of
ncutrals; (2) the Limitation of the armed
forces on land and sea and of military
budgets; CD the use OF new types and
calibers of military and naval guns;
"a the inviolability of private property

Federal Elections.

Federal Elections.
In my last annual message / said:
The power of the government TO
protect the integrity of the elections of
it's own officials is inherent and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
peated declarations of the supreme
court. There is no enemy OF free gov

insidiouS as the corruption OF the cleo
torate. No one defends or excuses cor
ruption, and it would seem 10 follow
that none would oppose vigorous meas
ures to eradicate if. L recommend the
enactment of law directed against
bribery and corruption ill federal cleo
tionS. The details of such Il law may
be safely left to the wise discretion of
the congress. but ii should go as far
as under the constitution ii is possible
to go, and should include severe penal
ties against him who gives or receives
a bride intended TO influence his act
or opinion as an elector and provisions
for the publication not only of the eX
penditureS for nominations and cleo
lions of all candidates, but also of all
contributions received and eXpendi-
lures made 10y political committees

try as large and populous as ours it is
inevitable that there should be much

This. of course. means that many con

Size must be made, and, as Il matter
of fact, III any big political contest such

which shall guard with reasonable GER
tainty against such misconduct but if
it is possible to secure by law the full
and verified publication in detail of all
the sums contributed to and expended
by the candidates or committees of any
political parties the result cannot bat
be wholesome. All contributions by
corporations to any political committee
or for any political purpose should be
forbidden by law, directors should not
be permitted to use stockholders mon
ey for such purposes. and. moreover, a
prohibition of this kind would be, as
far as ii went, an effective method of
stopping the evils aimed at in corrupt

the national and the several state leg
islatures forbid any officer of cor

they should also forbid such use of
money in connection with any legisla-
ton save by the employment of coun-

State Supervision inadequate.

1 repeat my previous recommenda-
ton that the congress should also con
slider whether the federal government
has any power or owes any duty with
respect to domestic transactions in in
Surance of an interstate character.
That state supervision has proved in
adequate is generally conceded. The
burden upon insurance companies, and
therefore their policy holders, OF con
fiicting regulations of many states is
unquestioned, while but little effective
check is imposed upon any able and I'M
Scrupulous man who desires TO exploit
the company in his own interest at the
expense OF the policy holders and of
the public. The inability of a state 10
regulate effectively insurance corpora
states and transacting the larger part
OF their business elsewhere is also
clear. AS a remedy for this evil of con-
flicting, ineffective and yet burdensome
regulations there has been for many
years widespread demand for federal
supervision. The congress has already
recognized that interstate insurance
may be a proper subject for federal
legislation, for in creating the bureau
of corporations IL authorized it TO pub
lish and supply useful information con-
corning interstate corporations, lin
