We Are Living in a Period of
Revolution, Says Sena-
tor CumminS
OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE
HANGING IN BALANCE
Government Must Fix Prices
on All Commodities or
Restore the Creed of
Competition

WASHINGTON. May Elm a
bomblise speech Senator Albert
Cummins, Of Iowa. at the graduation
exercises Of the Washington College
of Law, declared last evening that the
shadow OF Il bloody revolution hangs
over the United states. Within "a
decade" said Cummins. we will see
whether the grievances OF to-day Will
be settled by law or by the man
ner that has been in existence for o.
900 years-the revolution of violence
and terror and bloodshed.
We are living in period OF revo-
luton. There Is danger In tho spirit
OF disconnected men who would rebel
against the law. Our Institutions at
this day are in the balance.
The greatest problem that we are
facing to-day. and the one upon which
the American republic will be
wrecked. II II Is ever wrecked. Ia the
question of distribution OF the vast
wealth OF the nation.
Opportunities Taken Away.
/ do not for moment suggest the
equality of fortune The openness OF
opportunity is what is needed In this
country to-day. Until recently the
law Of competition. which is the sur
FlNa4 OF the fIttest. has ruled the com
merce Of this country. Now the busi-
ness Is being concentrated into the
hands of few. and the vast oppor-
funities that once existed is being
taken away. II the law of compe.
tltion disappears and the mighty com
plnauons come into control of the
wealth OF the country, there are only
two remedies--the fixing OF prices on
all commodities by the government
just as II now fixes rates. or the ju-
dtcial restoration Of the creed Of com
petition.
Competition has been called
~asteful, evil and cruel. But I would
rather have all of its wastefulness- IT.
eVll and its cruelty than that one
power shall have the right TO sa,
what prices shall be paid for all com.
modities used by the people OF this
country"
