The applause was particularly emphat-

Greatness of Our
National Life.

We see that in many things that
life is very great. 1t is incom
parably great in its material as"
poets, in its body of wealth, in the
diversity and sweep Of its energy,
in the industries which have been
conceived and built up by the gen,
ius Of individual men and the lin,
itless enterprise Of groups of men.
1t is great, also, very great, in its
moral force. Nowhere else in the
world have noble men and women
exhibited in more striking forms
the beauty and the energy of SYM
pathy and helpfulness and counsel
in their efforts to rectify wrong,
alleviate suffering, and set the
weak in the way Of strength and
hope. We have built up, moreover,
a great system Of government,
which has stood through a long age
as in many respects model for
those who seek to set liberty upon
, foundations that will endure

of government. IL peSdn
n two years ago, when the
house of representatives became
Democratic by decisive majority,
II has now been completed. The
Senate about to assemble will also
be Democratic. The offices OF
president and vice president have
been put into the hands OF Demo
Gratis. What does the change
meanG That is the question that Is
uppermost in our minds today.
That is the question I am going to
trv to answer, in order, if l may,
TO interpret the occasion.
It means much moro than the
mere success of a party. The sue
cess of a party means little except
when the nation is using that par
tv for a large and definite purpose.
No one can mistake the purpose for
which the nation now seeks to use
the Democratic party, 1t seeks
to use it to interpret a change In
its own plans and point of view.
Some old things with which we
had grown familiar, and which had
begun to creep into the very habit
of our thought and of our lives,
have altered their respect as we
have lattcrly looked critically up
on them, with fresh, awakened
eyes; have dropped their disguises
and shown themselves alien and
sinister, Some new things, as we
look frankly upon them, willing
to comprehend their real character,
have come to assume the aspect Of
things long believed in and tamil
lar. stuff Of our own convictions.
We have been refreshed by a new
insight into our own life.

Some Of the Things That
Must Be Changed.

We have itemized with some
degree of particularly the things
that ought to be altered and here
are some OF the chief items: \
tariff which cuts us off from our
proper part in the commerce Of
the world. violates the Just prin-
ciples Of taxation and makes the
government facile instrument in
the hands of private interests;
banking and currency system based
upon the necessity Of the govern
ment to sell it's bonds fifty years
ago and perfectly adapted to con,
centrating cash and restricting
credits; au industrial system
which, take it on all its sides,
financial as well as administrative,
holds capital IN leading strings,
restricts the liberties and limits
the opportunities of labor, and ex-
ploits without renewing or con.
serving the natural resources of
the country u body of agricultural
activities never yet given the eff
hclency of great business undertak.
lngs or served as it should be
through the instrumentality of
science taken directly to the farm.
or afforded the facilities Of credit
best suited TO its practical needs;
watercourses undeveloped, waste
places unreclaimed, forests un-
tended, fast disappearing without
plan or prospect Of renewal, unre.
garded waste heaps at every mine.
We have studied as perhaps no
other nation has the most effective
means of production, but we have
not studied cost or economy as we
should either as organizers of in.
dustry, as statesmen, or as indi.
viduals.

With Riches Has Come
Inexcusable Waste.

But the evil has come with the
good, and much fine gold has been
corroded. With riches has come
ine1cusable waste. We have
squandered great part OF what we
might have used, and have not
stopped to conserve the exceeding
bounty of nature, without which
our genius for enterprise would
have been worthless and impotent,
scorning to be careful, samefully
prodigal as we'll as admirably eff
cient, We have been proud of our
industrial achievements, but we
have not hitherto stopped thought
fully enough to count the human
cost, the cost Of lives snuffed out,
Of energies overtaxed and broken,
the fearful physical and spiritual
cost TO the men and women and
children upon whom the dead
weight and burden Of it all has
fallen pitilessly the years through,
The groans and agony of it all had
not reached our ears, the solemn,
moving undertone of our life, com"
ing up out Of the mines and fac
tories and out of every home where
the struggle had its intimate and
familiar seat. With the great gov.
ernment went many deep secret
things which we too long delayed
to look into and scrutinize iwth
candid, fearless eyes. The great
government we loved has too often
been made use of for private and
selfish purposes, and those who
used it had forgotten the people.
