COMMON CARRIERS.
During the last few years we M tho
United States have been forced ~ 80,
slider Very seriously certain oaorc-9io
problems. We have made a beginning
IN the attempt 10 deal with the relations
OF the national goVernment-that Is
with the relations Of the people of tho
cOuntry-to the huge ana wealthy cor
porauons, controlled for the most part
by a few very rich men. which are en-
gagged in interstate business-especiallv
the great railway corpora tons You
Know my views on this matter. You

government. iu the interests OF the peo-
pie should assume much the same SUI

that IL now exercises over the national
banks. You know furthermore that 1
believe that this supervision ANA con-

OF the people but giving them Justice In

ROMAN REPUBLIC,
Recently 7 have been reading the
work Of the eminent Italian scholar
Ferrero on the history Of the Roman
republic, when the lie Of the Roman
state had become that Cf q complex and
luxurious industrial civilization. / am
happy 20 say that the difference be-
tween tIlhN tlNlAlAtAlNi anu our own are
more striking than the rcsemblanccs:
and there o. no warrant for our being
drawn into any pessimislc comparison
| between the two civilizations. But
| there Is every reason why We should
study carefully the past In order 10
draw from ~ lessons for use In The pres.
| emit. one Of the most striking features
| OF the years which saw the downfall
Of the Roman republic was he fact
/ that tho political life of Rome became
/ split between two camps, one contain
| ing the rich who wished 20 exploit the
poor. and the other the poor win wished
| To- plundcr the rich. Naturall.. under
such circumstances the pubic man
who was Tor the moment successful
! tended 10 be either "a violent rcntionary
| or "a violent demagogue. Any sch c0u-
