journing He is diplomat, an ath-
Ilete, a preacher, a statesman, sol
der sportsman, all in one. And in
every field of activity, he is sincere,
not shamming.
Least of all should he deceive his
friends regarding his plans for the fu-
ture as regards the presidency His
statement that he would never again
stand for. reelection could not have
been made to secure votes last year,
for it was not made until after the an
nouncement of his election was re-
ceived at the White House. He was
not asked to make the statement, but
made it voluntarily and in his charac-
teristic, straightforward manner. 1t

does admire the man who fills an Of

There is much for Mr. Roosevelt to
do during the four years of his admin
stration. There is good prospect for
his accomplishing what he intends to
do. He is backed by republican con-
gress and he has cabinet made up of
some of the ablest men in the nation.
He has begun the work which he set
out to do and announced that he
would do when he became candi-
date against the man who was backed
By the New York World and some of
the other papers which are following
its example and prophesying the re-
election of the present President in
1908. The whole republican party
has been working in unison and Mr..
Roosevelt's announcement has left the
field open for all the candidates who
may wish to come before the people
for the nomination and election in
1908. This condition leaves Mr.
Roosevelt unfettered and unembar-
rassed He can work ahead for the
good of the country during the remain
der of his administration and he will
Go this in his own way.
In the light of past events, the
prophecy of the World has the ap-
pearance of an attempt to discredit
the President with the people by veil

an apparent compliment. But the at
tempt will prove a failure, as have
other attempts of the World. Presi-

the seven men composing the firm
of Montgomery Ward & Co. had been
required under the law to arbitrate
their differences, there would be today
no great paralyzing, disgraceful and
lnexcusable strike prevailing IN the
city of Chicago But Immediately,
when compulsory s-bitration is pro-
posed, the capitalist comes forward
with the declaration that this is free
country, that he should be permitted
to operate his own business in his
own way, that question Of differences
between him and his employees is a
personal matter and that he has moth
ing to arbitrate. The greater rights
of the public at large and the con-
stitutional privileges of life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness must bring
the capitalist and the employer
to realize that when his employees
unite in demand for higher wages,
a reduction in the hours of labor, or
improved conditions under which they
shall work, it remains no longer a
matter of private business, but it is a
public question which, if necessary,
both employer and employe must and
shall be compelled to arbitrate under
the law.
The law should give the employer
and capitalist absolute protection to
property and the right to do
business; should give to every
man protection in the right
to work or not to work as he chooses
regardless of whether he is union or
non-union, and then should say to the
employer and the capitalist, and also
to the man who belongs to the union,
that in exchange for these guaranteed
rights, you must submit under the law
to arbitration of differences. The
weakness of the individual laborer and
the almost unlimited power of organ
lied capital present a condition
where a united demand on the part Of
number of employees, which
cannot be satisfactorily adjusted
by employer and employee, must
require the intervention of the
public in the form of compulsory arbi.
tration in order to see that right and
justice is done, and to protect the pub
lie from the intolerable abuses of con-
stltutional rights and privileges which
are seen today in Chicago.
The capitalist must be brought
to realization of the fact
that an organized demand on the
part of his employees takes such
demand outside of the range of per.
sonal matter and makes the question
a public one, in which the public is
vitality interested and the right set.
Element of which the public is per
mitted to demand
