There is but one thing further
 that Thomas Jefferson left out or his | theology. his poltics-he left his the
 ology out of his politics. To leave ! the conscience out of conduct IS { dangerous thing-the conduct of life. ! Jefferson'S politics. his theory of in i dividualism. brought d protest from Adam Smith in England. Smiths idea of individuals was purely economic.
 If indiVidualism is to come to America at the hands of paternalism in America then socialism is the only solution for the troubles to be in this country. Now it is because, not as d partisan, but as an indi- vdual citizen, that I do not believe in socialism or paternalism. said in this country-republcan democrat and progressive should fashion his in- dividualism from the golden rule, and in the legislature. from the public i musings, in the newspapers and ma 1 gaZines. and more than that, in the 1 everyday conduct of man with man. l We might as well face these con- ! ditions as they are. Not as persons, not as officials, not as officeseekers. l No thoughtful man can look at the l conditions in America today and not 1 be convinced that unless something 1 gets better somebody is going to 1 kick something over in America. It l is because I do not want things kicked over in America that l do not
 follow blindly and worship some of l the ideals to advance the republic
 and yet yOx will permit me to say
 that l do not know of any living ! man who knows as much as those who founded the republic. They were men with like passions as ourselves, but they were not men with like
 temptations It stands us we'll in
 hand in America to study the basic
 principles of our government, to see
 whether or not justice and equity and
 fair dealing cannot De accomplished
 in this land of ours, and at the same | time preserve Jefferson's ideas of in- dividualty That is a thing whether 1 you admit it or not, that you want for your boy. You may say you dc
 not want it but you know you do.
 Why ninety per cent of the people 1 of America are simply looking dowr l the vista of years and they see but a bare subsistence. That is all they
 see. That is not personal to myself 1 good people. l am the last of m5
 line. I have no father or mother , brother or sister, son or daughter. And 1 am a lawyer and can live Q anywhere. Uaughter) This is no Q personal to me. l will get along 1, Fools are going 70 be born an'
 1 suckers are going to bite, and law
 yers are needed for batting. It i! l not personal to myself I do no | Diflo n y l believe that or not. I know it i :. so It is not personal to myself
 I know that you cannot cOntinu
 doing what you have been doing i z America for the past thirty years = and not change conditions and giv | l people a fair and square deal. rl "A boy today has more enjoymen t in thirty days than I had Tn year
 | when I was a boy. l had my wife n baby brother with me for while If and one day l was particularly gen To erous to him and offered him m dollar He turned his nose up an II, said he wanted five dollars. Whe
 I was a boy my father would giv |. me fifteen cents and tell me to s out and buy everything I Wante
 and bring him back the chang
