ROOSEVELT TELLS ARGENTINE HOW ID
 RUN GOVERNMENT
Calls Attention to the Difficult ties Involved in All Lands and How Best to Meet Them

BEUNOS AYRES, Nov. 1O.-Theo.
 dore Roosevelt supplemented his speech of Friday with an address to- night here in which he told of the part played in the actual operation of government. He said in part:
 "So far I have spoken mainly of the machinery of government. Far more important than the machinery is the use to which this. machinery is put Every great modern civilized state, every state Of vast industrial possibilities such as your own, is faced with very complex needs. The tremendous growth of capitalism, the immense fortunes that are made, and coupled with the growth of one or the other of those forms of political philosophy which are vaguely grouped together as socialistic, create govern mental problems of incredible intTi- cacy and of the most far-reaching sig nificance.
 Tn grappling with these problems, the average man is apt to pin his faith to half-truths. Moreover, he is apt to treat each half truth as com plete in itself and as hostile to every other half truth. Yet any pair Of these half truths may really be com plementary rather than antagonistic to one another. In their sum they may constitute a great and most use ful whole truth, whereas each by it. self, although a half truth, may be in reality as mischieyous as any false hood. This is peculiarly true in the domain of politics ard government
 This doctrine of the vital need of the whole truth and of the useless ness of half truths, applies to a thou sand matters of grave concern to us who dwell in great industrial modern commonwealth. As one example, consider tne need of combining ideal ism with practical good sense in real izing an ideal It is absolutely es- seritiaI to tlae well-being of a demoe- rqcy that the average citizen shall pos sess the power of attachment to ar ideal and that tie leaders shall pos sess this power to a marked degree. This is a truth; but it is only halt the truth, It :s no less essential that
 neither the leaders nor the people shall be mere visionaires, but that they shall possess hard headed prac- tical good sense in working for tangi- ble benefits. This is the ot5er halI of the same truth.
 "The possession oT neither will per manentIy avail to save the nation unless the other exists. Yet we'll meaning men often speak as if while vaunting idealism. sneers at the prac- ticaI man of affairs. In return the latter. with no less ignorance and thoughtfulness, laughs at and scorns the ideaIist. Each of these two treats the half truth. of which he has firm Crasp, as hostile 10 the half truth upon which the other insists. As a matter of fact. each hals truth taken by it. self is useless ard in the long un even mischieyous. Only by combining
 them do we get the whole truth the truth that can save and perpetu- ate a nation.
 .Take another example of combin- inr two half truths in order to reach a yftalIv necessary whole truth Taere must be ever before our eyes the ideal of freedom, Of liberty. This is a great and noble truth; but 1t is cnly hall the truth. Unless we use commoa sense in realizing the ideal of free dom. it will only lead to anarchy and fbrough anarchy to despotism and the destruction of the state in soul and bodv. This is the other half truth taken together, we get the whole tr,fh and realize that The noblest or ideals is liberty based on order ana justice.
 .erhe citizen must be so trained flat he shall be able in time of need to defend his rights with a strong hand. This is a truth, but only 'ralf truth. It's vitality necessary com nlement is that there Is DO sDrer nor more fatal sign of weakness than Ia eile esdiness to resort to arms in for eiSn. ans above all in civil and domes- tic affairs. for state which acquires tne revolutionary habit, ard is unable to secure the needed governmental
 growth and transformation without
 violence is deoDle@ Again il is true that unless there is peace, stability order. no democracy can permanently enlue. and yet it is no less true that
 without justice, without liberty for the people, and freedom for them to express their vill and have it trans lated into action, peace, stability and order spell death and not lie. Here likewise each half truth is fatal taken
 by itself. whereas the two takeL to- gether spell national Veli-oeing- | 4In the same way It will ultimately be recognized that the ideal and the
 practice of both religion and liberty taxing each in it's highe-, deepest ana
 broadest sense, are complementary
 and mutually necessary.
