THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

AS usual President Theodore
Roosevelt strikes a keynote in his
speech yesterday at Harrisburg, IA.
There is no wavering tone in that
sturdy exposition of what his ideas
of honesty in public and private life
are. It is straight from the shoulder
vet, withal, there is a fairness,
moderateness of expression in discuss
ing the serious menace of corporation
powers which must win the admiration
of all who read him.
His is strong arraignment of those
brainy, astute, corporation lawyers
who invoke the constitution when gov
eminent forces are arrayed against
them and who work ceaselessly to vi
olate, or evade, that same constitu-
ton in putting through trammeled
laws for the benefit of their employers.
He says well:
"The doctrine they preach would
shield of incompetence and the ex-
cuse for governmental paralysis; they
treat it as a justification for refusing
to attempt the remedy"
The exhortation with which the
president closes his address is of the
words of wisdom which should go the
mind of every citizen having the i'm
mense power of suffrage in his pos
session. 1t should be used locally as
well as nationally. To quote him
farther:
1T behooves us Americans to look
ahead and plan out the right kind of
civilization, as that which we in
tend to develop from these wonderful
new conditions of vast industrial
growth. 1t must not be, it shall not
be, the civilization of a mere plu-
tocracy, a banking house, Wall-street-
syndicate civilizations; nor yet can there
be submission to class hatred,
to rancor, brutality, and mob violence,
for that would mean the end of all
civilization. Increased powers are
susceptible Of abuse as well as use;
never before have the opportunities
for selfishness been so great, nor the
results of selfshness so appalling;
for in communities where everything
is organized on a merely selfish COM
mercial basis. such selfishness, if I'M
checked, may transform the great
forces of the new epoch into powers
Of destruction hitherto unequaled.
1--WE need to check the forces of
greed, to insure just treatment alike
of capital and of labor, and of the
general public, to prevent any man,
rich or poor, from doing or receiving
wrong, whether this wrong be one of
cunning or of violence. Much can be
done by wise legislation and by reso-
more must be done by steady train
ing Of the individual citizen, in con-
science and character, until he grows
to abhor corruption and greed and
tyranny and brutality and to prize
justice and fair dealing.
1.-The men who are to do the work
of the new epoch must be trained so
as to have a sturdy Self-reSDect a
power of sturdy insistence on their
own rights, and with it a proud and
generous recognition of their duties,
a sense of honorable obligation to
their fellows, which will bind them,
as by bands Of steel, to refrain in their
daily work at home or in their bust
ness from doing aught to any man
which can not be blazoned under the
monday sum-"

PORTABLE FIRE ESCAPE.

Recently there was exhibited in New
York a fire escape that is marvel OF

the World Of that city.
A wire cable is wound over spring
in q fat, round metal box about foot
IN diameter. This box is attached to
the window sill by hook. A wheel
inside regulates the speed at which the
cable Is unwound. And that is all there
Is to It.
In many ways the apparatus is the
most wonderful and the surest of any
