1 SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 22-Theo- core Roosevelt today addressed one 1 CT the most scholarly audiences he has faced since he came to South America. His topic was The Demo
 cratic Movement in a Republic" and he spoke before the oldest institution for higher education on the continent the University of Chile.
 The university was founded by the Jesuits in 1743. Colonel Roosevelt re minded his audience that although Chile. as a nation. was younger than the United States of America. it's
 colonial history was far longer. "Chnc's history" he said, as il is known to people of European stock began three quarters of century before the Purltans landed at Ply mouth Rock.
 His review of the democratic move ment in the United States was con fined mainly to the twelve years since he first became president. Dur irs this period he said, The po- litical movement in the United States has represented chiefly the effort to put into actual and concrete per formance the principles which in the
 abstract alI intelligent men admit to
 be true.
 In barest outline" he said. "our problems were in the first place to restore the government to the people so as to make the fact correspond with the theory. and in the second
 place and even more important to use
 the governmental power when thus restored so as to make us an indus
 trial and economic as well as q po- litical democracy"
 Colonel Roosevelt explained his
 views regarding the judiciary and
 "big business" During the last half of the nineteenth century. he assert
 ed. the leaders Of reaction in the
 United States political and financial alike, gradually grew to recognize in
 the Judiciary their most powerful pO-
 tential ally" The judges. he said by their training and aloofness Of their position on the bench have little real knowledge of or sympathy with the lives end needs of the ordinary hard-worlling toiIer. The judges, he declared, were in reality *frIespon- sible lawmakers. with a strong natur al bias against every species of F form legislation for social and in dustrial relief and tair play"
 He repeated his campaign declara- tions that Big Business has come to stay and that the problem was so to control 1t and supervise it as to prevent there being any improper advantage taken by big business at the expense of small business"
 Speaking of the republican party. 1 Colonel Roosevelt said: There was in the United States a historical par ty, the one to which I then belonged | which if true to it's origin would i nave championed without execution 1 eNe cry single one of the reforms which | the progressives have championed
 During the course of his address Colonel Roosevelt said:
