there are certain TO he some who are

such that these men prosper or commit

+ Interstate commercs.
No small part OF the trouble that we
have comes from carrying TO an ex-
IRENE the national virtue OF self reIi-
ance. OF independence In initiative
and action. It is wise TO conserve this
virtue and to provide for its fullest
exercise compatible with seeing that
liberty does not become a liberty to
wrong others Unfortunately this Is
the kind of liberty that the lack of all
effective regulation inevitably breeds.
The founders Of the constitution pro-
vided that the national government
should have complete and sole control
OF interstate commerce. There was
then practically no interstate business
save such as was conducted by water,
and this the national government at
once proceeded to regulate IN thorough
going and effective fashion. Conditions
have now so wholly changed that the
interstate commerce by water is insig
nifcant compared with the amount
that goes by land. and almost al big
business concerns are now engaged in
interstate commerce. AS a result It can

law should he method of predeter-

Concerning the navy the president
says:
In my Judgment, we should this
year provide for four battleships. But
it is idle to build battleships anless, in
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training, we pro-
vide the auxlliaries for them unless
we provide docks, the coaling stations,
the Golfers and supply ships that they
need. We are extremely deficient in
coaling stations and docks on the Pa
cific. and this deficiency should not
