Requirements Of Law,
Eyes, that is the keynote contin
ued Colonel Roosevelt. HWe must have
good laws; we must have laws that will
prevent men depressing others or tax
ing an improper share of what is gained
through the exercise of their Joint en-
elrgies, But the law is only help. If
the man has not the right stuff in him
nothing can be done for him. And if
any man thinks the law alone, or the
exertion of anybody but himself, will
enable him to make a success in life.
then that man may make up his mind
that he is due to failure from the out
set. DO not trust any man who tells
you that any change in the law will
bring about the millennium. That is
some distance off yet. DO not trust him
If he tells you that any 'Tstem of law
Will serve as substitute for both men
and women doing their duty in the
position which they occupy.
