"My Policies" Not Responsible for

NATIONAL CONSCIENCE AWAKE
MIR. Roosevelt Makes An Address To
A Committee OF Prosperity As
ISOLATION Of ST. Louis.
NATIONAL CONSCIENCE AWAKE

Washington, May ia committee
from the National Prosperity Associa-
ton, Of st. Louis, called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt to urge his aid in
further.ng their plans for encouraging
the return OF prosperity throughout
the country.
The responce of the President, in
part, is as follows.
q am in hearty sympathy with the
avowed object OF the National Pros
perity Association. 1t is excellent.
We have gone far in uprooting abuses
which threaten our national life.
Taken as a whole, the standard Of
honesty in our business life has been
high and today the standard Is, | be-
lieve, beyond what it has ever been
and this largely because we have
made determined war on the abuses
that lowered it. AS you have said,
the depression and stagnation from
which our country is now happily be-
ginning to recover were not caused by
reform legislation, but by the revela-
ton of shocking conditions in certain
of our corporations, by reckless oper-
ations in high finance, by calamity
and by certain striking though | be-
lieve, exceptional, instances, OF bust
ness and civic dishonesty.
"Of course, all good men must agree
with you in your condemnation OF I'M
wise agitation. The apathetic accept
ance of abuses in our governmental
and business administrations Is no
more dangerous than the demagogic
appeals of professional agitators to
class hatreds. Our national con-
science, | firmly believe, has been
awakened We will not go back to the
conditions which tolerate, wrong-doiue
astray by those who would embark us
| in a visionary and twisted crusade
against all corporations, all business
methods. We should address our
selves to the faithful and honest OBJ
seryanca of the law of civic righteous
ness The welfare of all of us can
best be obtained by striving for a pol
icy which will promote the welfare Of
each of us. We must all cooperate in
l
order that benefit may be de rived by
| the entire nation. Good laws make
good government. but laws are of nc
avail unless. vitalized by the people
who made them.
Our recent legislation has been
good and is is to the interest of the
entire country, and especially Of the
business interests. that it should be
enforced. Such further regulatory leg
islation as is required is merely
building upon the broad foundations
that have been laid. 1t conceals no
menace to business, and more than
| that legislation which has already
been enacted. There is no need for
agitation concerning it; there is no ey
cuse for demagogic excitement about
it. 1t is as much our duty to conserve
the real rights of property as it is
to conserve the real rights of labor
This We have done in the past and this
we ought to do and will do in the flu
ture."

when Pstrolmen Poll and O'Malley
picked up Fred and hid nine-year-otd
brother, Herman, Jr, at Fort-st and

badly as a result OF a sore toe and
was nearly "all In" from his tramp,

at all when the officers upset his
plans. The boys parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Rosenau, were divorced
Ave years ago and both have since re-
married. The boys remained with the
father, while Mrs. Rosenau went to
Cleveland. The boys have not seen
her since the separation OF their par
