Business Men Now
In Favor of Changes.

Let me say again, that what we are
seeking Is not destruction Of any kind,
nor the disruption OF any sound or
honest thing. but merely the rule OF
right and of the common advantage.
am happy to say that a new spirit has
begun to show itself in the last year or
two among influential men of business,
and, what Is perhaps even more sig
nificant, among the lawyers who are
their expert advisers; and that this
spirit has displayed itself very notably
in the last few months In an effort to
return, In some degree at any rate, to
the practices OF genuine competition.
Only very little while ago our men Of
business were united in resisting every
proposal of change and reform as an
attack on business, an embarrassment
to all large enterprise, an intimation
be set aside and a new and strange or
der Of things created out OF hand.
While they thought In that way, progress
seemed impossible without hot contest
and bitter clash between interests. al
most a war of classes. Common coun-
sci seemed all but hopeless, because
some of the chief parties in interest
would not take part-seemed even to
resent discussion as a manifestation Of
hostility toward themselves. They
talked constantly about vested interests
and were very hot.
1t is a happy omen that their attitude
has changed. They see that what is
right can hurt no man: that a new ad-
justment of interests is inevitable and
desirable, Is In the interest of every
body; that their own honor, their own
intelligence, their own practical compre-
hension Of affairs Is involved. They are
beginning to adjust their business to
the new standards. Their hand is no
longer against the nation; they are part

its interests. This Is not true of all of
them. but II is true of enough of them

than that of conservation. We have

We must look to the health Of our
people upon every hand, as we'll as

tunity. This Is the constructive work

With regard TO the deVelopment OF

Nation Awakened
To Sense of Duty.

We stand in the presence of an
awakened nation, impatient of partisan
make-believe. The public man who does
not realize the fact and feel its stim-
ulation must be singularly unsusceptible
to the influences that stir in every
quarter about him. The nation has
awakened to sense of neglected ideals
and neglected duties; to consciousness
that the rank and file Of her people
find life very hard to sustain, that her
young men find opportunity embar-
rassed, and that her older men find
business difficult to renew and main-
tain because of circumstances Of privi-
lege and private advantage which have
interlaced their subtle threads through
out almost every part Of the frame
awakened TO the knowledge that she
has lost certain cherished liberties and
wasted priceless resources which she
had solemnly- undertaken to hold In

stands confronted with an occasion for
constructive statesmanship such as has
net arisen since the great days In which
her government was set up.

There never was time when impa-
