Our Duties Today. 2sstg
The men Of the generation which.
fought the civil war had their great
tasks to perform. They met them as
strong men should have met them.
They did them. and we, their children
profit by their mighty deeds. But no
generation can ever plead the great
deeds of it's predecessors as an excuse
for failing to perform its own duties.
Our duties are those of peace and not
of war. Nevertheless they are of the
utmost Importance; of importance to
ourselves, and Of still greater impor-
ltance to the children who ID a few
years will take our places as the men
and women of this Republic # we
wish to show ourselves worthy heirs
Of the men Of the Civil War, we must
do our tasks with the thoroug hness
with which they did theirs. 75 -Ss
Great social and industrial prob
lens confront u.s., and their solution
/ demands on our part unfaltering
courage, and vet wise, good-na-
tured self-restraint; so that on the
one hand we shall neither be daunted
by difficulties nor fooled by those who
would seek to persuade us that the
difficulties are insuperable; while on
the other hand we are not misled in
to showing either rashness or vindic-
tiveness. .Ss
| One great problem that we have be
fore us is to preserve the rights of
| property; and these can only be pre-
served IL we remember that they are
lin less jeopardy from the socialist and
the anarchist than from the predatory
man .of wealth It has become evi-
dent that to refuse to invoke the pow
Ter Of the nation to restrain the
wrongs committed by the man OF
great wealth who does evil is not only
to neglect the interests of the public,
but is to neglect the interests Of the
man Of means who acts honorably by
his fellows. The power Of the nation
must be exerted to stop crimes OF
cunning no less than crimes of VIC
lence. There can be no halt In the
y course we have deliberately elected

right Of the nation, SO far as it has

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
Boise, Idaho, May SO. There have
been many suggestions circulated to-
day in connection with the arrest
Of Carl =. Duncan. the young man
found disguised on the streets Tues
day The city authorities received
an unsigned letter saying that he was
4 g worthy young man and that unless
he was turned loose at once violence
would be done to the mayor or chief
Of police. 81
I'll s. Parks, the n young writer
whose name was connected with that
of Duncan by letters found on the
/ latter, called on the police today and
asked to be protected from Duncan,
saying that he was in fear Of harm
from him.
Duncan, when questioned, said
that he and Parks were deadly enc
mics and that he had challenged
Parks to a duel for things he had
written and said about him. The
police neither accept nor deny this
story Of enmity and are going to
make a further inyestiga tion.
Duncan was subjected to long
examination today BY Prosecuting
Attorney Koelsch and the police,
and, according to them, he said he
was a graduate Of the University Of
Michigan. He said his mother lived
at Ann Arbor where he has
a younger brother attending the uni
yersity and that another brother Is
an electrician In New York. Dun
can gave his birthplace as Platts-
burgh, n II, but said he left there
when a boy.
Duncan said that he had bought
false Whiskers, nose piece and face
paint at Harland and that he used
the whiskers so that he might ap.
pear here as q farmer. He said he
bought the automatic pistol because
he thought 1t something strange

A Step In Advance.
q. Every Federal law dealing with cor.
porations or with railroads that has
been put upon the statute books DUR
ing the last six years has been a step.
in advance in the right direction All
action taken by the Administration
under these and the preexisting laws
has been just and proper. Every suit
undertaken during that period has

but required, by the facts; a suit in
the interest of the people as a whole,
and. in the long run, particularly in
the interest of stockholders as well as
in the interest Of business men Of
property generally. There can be no
swerving from the course that has
thus been mapped out in the legisla-
ton actually enacted and in the mes
sages in which I have asked for,
further legislation. We best serve the
interests Of the honest railway men
when we announce that we will fol-
low out precisely this course It is
the course of real, of ultimate con-
servatism. There will be no halt in
the forward movement toward a full
development Of this policy; and those
who wish us to take a step backward
or to stand still, if their wishes were
realized, would find that they had in
vited an outbreak of the very radical
ism they fear. There must be pro-
gressive legislative and administra-
tive action for the correction of the
evils which every sincere man must
admit to have existed in railroad
management in the past.

TO Prevent oyer-capitalization.
The Federal Government will thus

man hereafter from plund ering Others
by loading railway properties with
obligations and pocketing the money
instead of spending 1t in improve

purposes; and any man acting in such
fashion should be held to criminal
accountability. 1t should be declar-

their capital to anything but the
transp Ortation business, certainly not
to the hazards of speculation.
