CONCLUSION.

It la our duty and our desire 10 make
this land OF ours a better home for the
race. but our duty does not stop there.
We must also work for a better paiion
to live In this better land. The level
opnent and conservation OF our nation
al character and our free institutions
must go hand In hand with the develop
ment and conservation OF our natural re-
sources, which the Governors conference
so we'll called the foundations OF our
prosperity. Whatever progress we may
make as n nation, whatever wealth we
may accumulate. however far we may
push mechanical development and puo-
ductiou. we shall never reach a point
analysis on anything but honesty, cour-
age, loyalty and good citizenship. The
homely virtues are the lasting virtues.
and the road which leads 10 them IS the
road to genuine and lasting success.
What this country needs is what every
free country must set before It as the
great goal toward which II works-an
equal opportunity for life. liberty and
the pursuit of happiness for every one
OF It's citizens, To achieve this end We
must put n stop TO the improper poltti-
cal dominion no less than to the improp-
er economic dominion. OF the great spe-
cial interests. This country, It's natural

condition of national efficiency and ma
tional welfare. Is to drive the special In
terests out OF our public life.

II IS to the mutual interest of the United

II 1t Is forced upon us. But there is no
hope for the plain people In such con-
question is not open of hair-splitting legal
technicalities. 1t Is simply this. Who
can best regulate the special interests for
the public good? Most Of the predatory
corporations are interstate or have In
terstate affiliations. Therefore they are
largely out of reach Of effective state
control. and fall OF necessity within the
federal jurisdiction One OF the prime OBJ
jects of those among them that are
grasplng and greedy is to avoid any ef-
fectiye control either by state or nation:
