the fight against the growth Of social
istic principles in this country
That is the doctrine OF Jefferson. he
believes in the Individual. He said let the
individual have the largest possible slim
illus to great endeavor. How can you
stimulate q man TO great endeaVor! only
by protecting the man in the enjoyment
of the fruits of his toll. You permit the
Industrious people to have the rewards
OF their toll taken away from them by
those who are in possession and monopo-
lie the sources of wealth in this coun-
try and how long will men enjoy labor.
Incentive to Labor.
at is because a man can bring his
children TO him and say to them and his
wife, let's labor now, let MS economic
and we will increase our wealth. l will
work for wages now, but I will be indie
pendent by any by and my own master.
That is the dream he lays before his
household and it is that conviction that
makes him strong. Take IL from him If
you dare and the American will not be
what the American has been In the past.
Il was in Palestine and visited the val
ley OF the Jordan. l was told IL was as
rich a valley as the Nile but il is not
cultivated. They told me that the reason
was the bedouins who lived upon the
hills would swoop down at harvest time
and gather in the crop. Because the
toiler wasn't assured that he could have
the results of his toll he didn't labor and
the land lies idle.
My friends we have had conditions
growing in this country that is in some
respects like that in Palestine where the
Turk holds sway. We have found the
people Industrious, producing every year
three times as much as any similar toll
ers in the world. and yet we have found
growing tendezssy for the few to gather
IN the results of their toll. We have
found these fortunes accommodating with
rapldlty such as was never known be
lore How are you going TO give
the public strength and courage?
Takes High Plane.
i am glad to have this opportunity to
speak TO YOU this afternoon Democrat
and Republicans. members of all churches
and of all professions have gathered here
from all parts of this Union. L want my
party to take a high position on these
questions, And / want every other party
to take high position. too. For. my
trends, don't allow my. craftsmanship to
carry me to the~point of hoping that any
party will do wrong in order that my
party may profit by the wrong of the
other party. (Applause-) am more in
the party that brings them or in the per-
son who gets the credit for them
I have long since learned that each
ones position in society is determined not
by what the world does for him. but by
what he does for the world. And my
friends, the Democratic party can 90
something for the world II, by its teach
ING IT can force or lead other, parties
fundamental and right. And the rivalry
should be TO see which one can do the
best thing and go the fastest in the Sc
curing of the things that are needed |
think that what we need in this country
is faith in the wisdom Of doing right
Power Of Truth.
I'VE go out in the fields and see the
grain or wheat put in the ground and
under the influence of sun and showers.
il sends up the tiny leaf then the stalk
and then the whole head of grain. And
we know it is repeated all over the
country and this world. and furnishes
the food for hundreds of millions Of peo-
pie. We plant the seed. Why? Be-
cause we believe that back of the seed
there H. an eternal force. There Is a
principle omnipotent that never fails, and
/ believe, my friends, that back Of every
moral truth there is a power as omni-
potent and as constantly at work. and
therefore every righteous cause will tri-
umph and every truth will at last be
victorious. And with this faith then, the
rivalry between us must be TO see who
can see the truth most clearly, who can
grasp it most firmly. and follow it most
courageously. l thank you for your at
tention-
