ROOSEVELT TALKS
ON big BUSINESS"
Extracts from an Address Delivered by the Ex-
President at Columbus, Ohio Touches on
Leading Questions Of the Day.

tutional devices which will prevent
the popular will from being effective
for wrong without so preventing it
from being effective for right. The
only safe course to follow in this
great American Democracy is to
provide for making the popular
judgment really effective. But 1t is
false constitutionalism, false
craftsmanship, to endeavor by the
exercise of perverted ingenuity to
seem to give the people full power
and at the same time to trick them
ont of it.
"Yet this ia precisely what is
done in every case where the state
permits it's representatives whether
on the bench or in the Legislature or
in executive Office to declare that it
has not the power to right grave
social wrongs or that any of the
officers created by the people and
rightfully the servants of the people,
can set themselves up to be the
masters of the people. Constitution
makers should make il clear beyond
shadow Of doubt that the people
In their Legislative capacity have
the power to enact into law any
measure they deem necessary for the
betterment of social and industrial
conditions.

years insisted as regards our national

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. a.
"Big Business," the fitness of the
American people for safe govern
ment, the recall of judges, and praise
for the progressive legislation in
Wisconsin instituted and turthered
by Senator Robert M. LaFollette
when he was governor, were topics
discussed by Theodore Roosevelt
here today. Col. Roosevelt chose
as his subject, IA Charter of Demo
cracy."
OF what he termed ''Big Business"
Col. Roosevelt had this to say:
s'The antitrust law does good In
SO far as 1T can be invoked sgalns'
combinations which really are
monopoIies or which restrict pro.
duction Or which arti6cially raise
prices. But IN so far as its work
ings are uncertain or as it threatens
corporations which have not been
guilty of snti.socisl conduct, it does
harm. There should be q fixed
governmental policy which shall
clearly define and punish wrong do
ing and give IN advance full infor-
nation TO any man as to just what
he can and just what he can not
legally and properly do.
As to the fitness of American peo.
pie for self-government, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
"Msny eminent lawyers believe
that the American people are not fi,.
ted for popular government and tina,
il is necessary to keep the judiciary
independent of the majority of tht
people, l take absolute Issue with
all those who hold such position.
of the recall of judges, he said
.sThe question is one of expedi
ency merely. Each community
has the right to try the eAperimen
for itself in whatever shape 1t pleases
l don't believe in adopting the recall
save "a b last resort when it has be
come clearly evident that no othe
course will achieve the desired re
suit"
Senator LaFollette was mentione'
but once, rs follows:
"Folloving Senator LaFollette,
number of practical workers ana
thinkers in Wisconsin have turne,
that state into an experimental lat
oratory of wise governmental actlo
in aid of social and industrial Just

means not only the preservation {
true Democracy but the extensio

politics.
Colonel Roosevelt said in part:
81 hold il to be the duty of ever
public servant, and of every ma
who in public or in private life hol'

or action, to endeavor honestly 81
fearlessly to guide his fellow coul
