Public Welfare the Issue.
1T is in the interest of the conscien-

that there should be such Governmental
supervision of the railway traffic of the
country as to require from his less scru-

Federal Government Must Act.

No finally satisfactory result can be
expected from merely State action. The
action must come through the Federal
Government. The business Of the coun-
try is now carried on in a way of which
the founders of our Constitution could
by no possibility have had any idea
All great business concerns are en-
gagged In interstate commerce, and il
was beyond question the intention of the
founders of our Government that inter
state commerce in all its branches and
aspects should be under national and
not State control If the courts decide
that this intention was not carried out
and made effective in the Constitution
as it now stands, then In the end the
Constitution, If not construed different
~, Will have TO be amended SO that the
original undoUbted intention may be
stitutional amendment is only TO be used
as last resort IL every effort of legis-
lation and administration shall have
proved inadequate.
Meanwhile the men in public life and
the men who direct the great business
interests Of the country should work not
IN antagonism but in harmony toward
this given end. In entering a field where
the progress must of necessity be so
largely experimental IL g essential that
the effort TO make prog ress should be
tentative and cautious. We must grow
py evolution. not by revolution. There
must be no hurry, but there must also
De no malt; and those who are anxious
that there should be no sudden and yio-
lent changes must remember that pre-
clsely these sudden and violent changes
Will be rendered likely II we refuse to
make the needed changes in cautious
and moderate manner
AT the present moment the greatest
need Is Tor an increase in the power OF
the National Government TO keep the
great highways of commerce open alike

Development of IndustrialisEa.


-Unquestionably, however, the great
development of industriaiism means that
there must be an increase in the super
vision exercised by the Government
over business enterprises. This super
vision should not take the form of vio-
suredly there is danger lest it take such
form if the business leaders of the buSi-
ness community confine themselves &c
trying to thwart the effort at regula-
ton instead of guiding It Alright.
Such men as the members of this
club should lead in the effort to secure
proper supervision and regulation of
not only because it is for the interest
OF the community as whole that
there should be this supervision and
regulation, but because in the long run
il will be in the interest above all OF
the very people who often betray alarm
and anger when the proposition is first
made
Neither this people nor any other
free people viii permanently tolerate

Lincoln as a Factor.

THE principles which Lincoln ap-
piled to the solution of the problems of
his day are those which we must apply
If we expect successfully to solve the
different problems of cur own day
problems which are so largely industrial.
Exactly as it is impossible to develop a
high morality unless we have as foun-
dation those qualities which give at
least certain minimum of material
prosperity, SO it is impossible perula-
nentf,> to keep material prosperity .un-
less there is back of 1t a basis of right
living and right thinking. In the last
analysis, of course, the dominant fac
tor in obtaining this good conduct must
be the individual character of the aver
age citizen. If there is not this condi-
ton of individual character in the aver
age citizenship of the country, all effort
to supply its place by the wisest 1eg1s-
lation and administration will in the
end prove futile. But given this average
OF individual character, then wise
laws and the honest administration of
the laws can do much to supplement it
If either the business world or the
world of labor loses its head, then it
has lost something which cannot be
made good by any governmental effort.
Our faith in the future Of the Republic
Is firm, because we believe that on the
whole and in the long run our people
think clearly and act rightly.
