Mr.. Roosevett's Address.
| During the last few years, 1t has
become increasingly evident to ak
really far-sightei men that 1t is Inn
reratively necessary to grapple
the problems of the present lay in
the spirit in wlieT7 Abraham Lincoln
and the men Of lis day. fifty years
ago, grappled with the then existing
problems. We cannot show ourselves
the true heirs Of Lincoln and his fa.
lows by merely praising what they
did In the dead past; the sincerity OF
our loyalty to their ideals must be
shown by the resolute efficiency with
which we apply these ideals to pres
ent day needs working In saneiy
progressive spirit. not being misied
into following wild experiments any
more than Lincoln was misIeI. but
being equally resolute to follow Lin
coins course in reflsing to put our
destiny in the hands of the bourbon
and t. reactionary.
New Nationalism.
| Much alarm-~some OF it sincere

been expressed about the new M
tionaism The new nationalisra
really means nothing but the effic en-.
application to new conditions of the
old and fundamental moralities; in
accordance with which our forefatb.
ers worked in tne days when they
founded this republ c; in accordance
| with which our fathers worked in the
ldays when they saved the republic
We are trying to apply to the eco
nomic and social conditions of the
| twentieth century the doctrine whce
| Abraham Lincoln enuneiated fifty-ons
| years ago. when he said: "Onf on
ponents held the liberty of one mas
to be absolutely nothing when in con
llict with another mans right OF
| property; we, on the contrary, are fox
both the man ana the dollar: but
In case of conflict, the man before the
| dollar" In other words, as I said in
my Osawatomie speech, and as re.
peated in New York, the new nation
al SIN represents the struggle Of free
men to gain and to mold the right
of sef-goyernment as against the spe-
cial interests, who twist the methods
! of free government into machinery
for defeating the popular will. AT
every stage and under all circumstan-
ces the essence of tive struggle Is to
equal re opportunity, to destroy PR.
vilege, and to give to the life and
citizenship of every individual the
highest possible value both TO himself
and to the commonwealth. Honest.
it'nid men may momentarily be mis-

stand here. the American people will
in the end, overwhelmingly and de-
c'sively declare themselves for the
principles aud the purpose set forth.
1 Our intention Is to extend the ssnu-
inc principles Of democracy into our
Industrial and economic, as well as
our political life. We hold that a
great democracy must be nrcgfes.
