AT the end Of seven years Roosevelt had
won the people not only to his policies, but
likewise to his remedies and with that ma
terial lying about him ready for construc-
ton and with the end OF his administration
drawing near. he looked about for a con-
structive statesman as the great architect
He did not lack for material to choose
from. There was Cortelyou, wise and ex-
perienced in the work OF the chief execu-
tive and the paragon OF energy; there was
Fairbanks, great lawyer. great statesman
and experienced as a United States SEN
ator in the art Of making laws; there was
Root and La Toilette and Hughes and a
score OF others. But the man of the hour
and for the four years to come must com
bine legal learning, judicial temperament,
constructive genius. progressive ideals in
sympathy with the work to be done; and
in addition to 1t all a personal charm and
harmonizing capacity that could unite
men Of many and different ideals, that leg
islation might be accomplished. The man
for the Job, said Roosevelt, is William II.
Taft and the American people elected him.
And in my judgment when Roosevelt reads
the record OF the first eighteen months
| an interstate commerce law, railroad rate
law. long and short haul law, a telegraph
and telephone law, an express law, a COM
merce court law and a postal savings. bank
law, new statehood law and twenty or
thirty other great laws for the solution OF
these industrial problems for the peoples
benefit. and can feel that he named the
man who has brought II about, he can add
another laurel to his already enormous
crown OF the peoples affections"

BURNETT LAUDS ROOSEVELT
Nebraska Senator Says Taft is Carry
ing Out His Policies.
SITUATION NEEDS SUCH MAN
President 10 Great Constructive
Statesman of Judicial Mind Who
Has Fully Met Nations
Needs.

FULLERTON, Neb Sept. 16-(Special)-
In his speech here tonight Senator Burkett
paid high tribute to the far-seeing statc5-
manship Of Theodore Roosevelt and to his
great judgment of men in his selection OF
William II. Taft as his successor. The
senator pointed out how anxious Theodore
Roosevelt must have been that his policies,
which he knew the American people had
accepted. should have been carried into
execution by his successor.
Every hour that l live" said the SEN
ator the more respect and appreciation
l learn to have for the genius and far
seeing wisdom of that great man. Theodore
Roosevelt. AS a Judge of men and meas
ures 1 think he has never had a superior,
and as one who could grasp situations and
master intricate problems he perhaps never
had an equal. He had the affection and
confidence of the people to the end of his
administration and his was the dominating
voice in selecting his successor. He knew
from experience what there was to be
done in the next four years and with his
unerring judgment he selected from the
large list of available material the proper
man TO do 1t.
Good Foundation Laid.
In his seven years as chief executive
Roosevelt had gathered about him the ma
terials for a new public life and a new
legislative program. He had laid the strong
foundation Of popular approval OF the pol
icies that he advocated. Without that
foundation no man could build a super
structure of legislation that would carry
those policies into effect. For seven years
he had educated the people upon civic
Righteousness and private virtue. He had
thrown open to their gaze the mendacity
Of corporate greed and avarice. He had
pointed out the evils that beset the govern
ment and that hampered the lives and
liberties Of the people. He had convinced
the people that with the industrial and
commercial evolution there must be pro-
gressive legislation-that the laws that con-
trolled railroads in their infancy were not
| sufficient today when they had become
the most gigantic combinations of all the
worlds history, controlling the distribution
and the production of every commodity of
the American people. He brought home to
the great American mind as it never had
been done before that as partnership had
succeeded individuals and corporations had
succeeded both and all in turn were to be
succeeded by gigantic aggregations of cap
ital and industrial combinations that laws
must be enacted commensurate with and
sufficient for this mighty industrial evolu-
ton.
