nevertheless, our duty to adopf
that course has been taken.
Mr.. Chairman: Time forbid
discussion in detail Of other mat
Labor and its rightful portion OF
prosperity and comforts and on
tunities of our great Industrial az
opment; labor as to its duty to It'll
the enforcement of men in public
vice from the professional or emp1
ed relation to the business Institute
concerning which they are called upl
to legislate; the bringing of all ma
tiers OF government as close to tn
people as efficiency and expediendX
will permit; these are all matters
great moment but must be discussed
in detail at another time.
Some people profess to entertain
fear that many of the things propose
are radical and revolutionary, menac}
ing to a safe and stable government
When 1t can be shown to me that !
particular proposition is hurtfull Oh
hazardous to my government or Will
work a distinct and substantial changX
IN our framework of government,
VIII forego its advocacy. My pro
round faith in our great framework
Oh government is such that l would
yleld rather than place my view
against the views Of those who gay&
us our institutions.
Not Revolutionary or Menacing.
But my friends, these things ar,
not revolutionary or menacing to ouI
!!nistltutlons-these things are revolu
tiohary and menacing which must
eventually transpire unless we act J
All things may be done under the
powers Of government which we have
distributed just as they are now dis.
tllouted. 1t they cannot be done then
the government is doomed anyway
tneh the Fathers failed to provide forX
tnese conditions. After all, the conser-
valves, the friends of our institr.
irons are those who would adjust Az
operations of government to new IN
dustflal conditions, that Justice mav
contlnt'e to be administered and right
first foundation
government without which, whatevS g.
II may De in name, whether monarchv>

MI. chairman, the old ord
tthiangetn. t is farthest from M
thoushts TO seek to cloud the glory ~
,ne past. l know and I believe fullv
aepleciate the worth and Inspiration
years of Republicanism which ~
pack of us. 1t is aside from ~
.houghts also to indulge in persona
;rlticlsm OF those veteran leaders Al
our party who cling with peculiar
to things as they were. III
nave learned that it is often a dan
,erous thing and some times a crmel
hlng to challenge the motives ~
men. But it is a proper thing ana
olnetiines necessary thing to at
ack the measures of men. But tia
'it is we are dealing with new con-
lllons. The old system does not anal
ahnot meet the requirements of An
business and Politics.
Inc gigantic scale upon which
usiness is now being carried on Az
I'm Il inlnatlon from the field of industrv
lhe law of competition has com
elled the government to assun1a
asuy greater and more extensive
ahctlons: This in return has arousedf
gisdntlc effort upon the part 81 4

eople are wise enough and coura "a
