COMMON CARRIERS.
Dur'ns the last few years we OF the
United states have been forced 10 con-
slider very seriously certain asS',.e -
problems. We have made "a beginning
IN the attempt TO deal with the relations
OF the national govemment-that Is.
with the relations Of the people Of tho
country-to the huge and wealthy cor
porauons' controlled for the most part
by a few very rich men. which are en-
gagged iu interstate business-especiali
the great railway corporations. You
know my views on this matter. You
know that ] believe that the national
government, IN the interests Of the neo-
pie, should assume much the same SUI
perVision and control over the manage
ment of the interstate common carrierss
that IL now exercises over the national
banks. You know furthermore that
believe that this supervision ana con-
troll should be exercised in q spirit Of
rigid fairness toward the corporations.
cXactiuE Justice from them on behalf
OF the people but giving them Justice in
return.

Recently 7 have been reading the
work Of the eminent Italian scholar
Fcrrero on the history Of the Roman
republic when the life Of the Roman
state had become that Of o complex and
luxurious industrial civilization. / am
happy 90 say that the difference be-
tween that civilization and our own are
more striking than the rcsemblanccs;
and there Is no warrant for our being
| drawn into any pessimistic comparison
between the two civilizations. But
there Is every reason why We should
study carefully the past In order 10
draw from II lessons for use IN the pres
ent. one Of the most striking features
| OF the years which saw the townfall
| Of the Roman republic was he fact
that the political lie Of Rome became

poor. and the other the poor win wished
