 Tn the last six years we have shown that there is no individual and no corporation so powerful that he or 1t stands above the possibility of pun ishment under the law"
 There is, unfortunately, certain number of our fellow countrymen who seem to accept the view that unless a man can be proved guilty of some particular crime he shall be counted good citizen, no matter how in- famous the life he has led. no matter how pernicious his doctrines or his practices"
 But there is a growing determina- tion that no man shall amass a great fortune by special privilege, by chi canery and wrongdoing. so far as 1t is in the power of legislation to prevent, and that the fortune when amassed shall not have business use that is antisocial."
 There is no objection in the minds of this people to any mans earning any amount of money if he does it honestly and fairly, if he gets it as the result of special skill and enter prise as a reward of ample service actually rendered."
 "Our aim is to help every honest man, every honest corporation and our policy means in its ultimate analy- sis a healthy and prosperous expan- sion of business activities of honest business men and honest corpora tions."
 T very earnestly hope that the leg islation which deals with the regula- tion of corporations engaged in inter- state business will also deal with the rights and interests of the wagework- CTS employed by those corporations"
 Tn any great movement, such as that in which we are engaged, noth- ing is more necessary than sanity. than the refusal to be led into ex- tremes by the advocates of the ultra course on either side"
 There exists no more sordid and unlovely type of social development than plutocracy, for there is a pe- culiar unwholesomeness in social and governmental ideal where wealth by and of itself is held up as the great est good"
 "0ne of the favorite devices of those who are really striving to prevent the enforcement of these laws is to clam or for action of such severity that 1t cannot be undertaken because 1t will be certain to fall If tried"
 We should certainly not adopt any new scheme for grappling with them (new conditions) merely because 1t is new and untried: but we cannot af- ford to shrink from grappling with them because they can only be grap- pied with by some new scheme"
 The day was one of the most note- worthy in the history of Cape Cod. The monument, which will rise to the height of 250 feet, will commemorate the first landing of the pilgrims ca American soil, their six weeks explora- tion of Cape Cod bay in search of an abiding place and the signing of the famous compact on board the May flower as she lay at anchor in this har- bor. Ten thousand people who crowd ed into the little town had every oppor- tunity to see the president, and at least one-third of them heard his remarks. At the conclusion of the first part of the exercises on the hill, which included, besides President Roosevelt's speech. addresses by James Bryce. the British ambassador, by United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Congressman William c. Lowering. the Masonic ritu- al in connection with the laying of the cornerstone of the monument was car ried out. J. Albert Blake of Boston, grand master of the Masons of Massa- chusetts, performed this ceremony, and William B. Lawrence of Medford, past grand warden. made a brief address in response on behalf of the grand com mandeTy.
 Following these exercises banquet was held in the town hall. President Roosevelt, however, remained in the hall only twenty minutes, sufficient time for him to appease his appetite and to say few words of thanks to the town committee.
 From the hall, under the guidance of James B. Connolly. the author of sea stories, the president was conducted to Odd Fellows hall, where he was in- troduced to more than POO Province town and Gloucester fishermen. The president spoke to them for about ten minutes. commenting their labors and the manful way in which they per formed them.
 At the conclusion of his remarks President Roosevelt was driven to the wharf, where he boarded a launch, which conveyed him out to the con- yerted yacht Maynower. at anchor in the harbor. Then the Mayfiower sailed out of the harbor on her way back to Oyster Bay. The president was in for a little more than six hours.
 When the Mayfower came into the harbor and when she went out she was saluted by the eight battleships of the North Atlantic squadron. under com mand of Rear Admiral Davis. which lay at anchor just outside the harbor. The Msynower was accompanied by two torpedo boats.
 Throughout the day the presence of ! large force of marines from the neet. the gay music of the bands snd the brilliant decorations on the houses in the village and the yachts In the har- Dor gave the little fishing town a live Iy appearance.
