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 its predecessors as an excuse
for failing 20 perform its own duties.
Our duties are those of p ace and moi
of war. Nevertheless they are OF the
utmost Importance; of Importance 70
ourselves. and Of still greater import
ance to the children who In a few
v, ,ars will take our places as the
men and women of this Republic. II

only TO neglect the interests OF IN
public. but is to neglect the Interest,"
of the man Of means who acts honor
ably by his fellows.
The power of the nation must D

TO supervise and control the busines
use of wealth. especially in its co'
porste form.
Federal Control Necessary.
To-day I wish TO say word to 70
about the first and most importar
feature Of this task. the control

state business. a control absolutel
vested in the nation. while in so IL
