ROOsevelt's Address

Men and Women of Maine: Recol-
lect how simple the program of the
Progressive party really is. We be-
lieve that in this country nowadays
there is a call for some sort of politi-
cal organization for just everyday
common decency. The trouble is
callouSed moral sense on one side,
and a hysteria and insincerity on the
other. If we can only get the rub
bish off the souls of the weary plain
citizens, there will be a tidal wave
in our favor. 1t is the stay-at- home
who really defeats us. AS soon as we
can get him heartened, as soon as
we can get him to understanding
that this government is his If he
chooses to take possession of it, that
the bosses and machines will be like
dust in windy street If once he
makes up his mind to turn them out,
then he will show the men who
have prof1ted by business and politi-
cal corruption that there is a God
in Israel.
Neither of the old party organiza-
tons has any idea what 1t is doing,
and neither of them has really any
principle at all.
In consequence both the old party
organizations are thoroughly insincere
and hypocritical, and l wish above
all things else to call the attention
of the plain decent rank and file of
the two old parties to the fact that
no permanent good comes from re-
tanning in power organizations
which seek to win elections by an
nouncement of devotion to policies
which they adroitly abandon after
election. Even IL their change in such
case is toward the right, Nit is a
matter of certainty that they are only
doing the right because it is expedi-
ent and not from motives of primer
pie, and that they cannot be trusted
when a new issue comes up; and new
issues are always coming up. What
we need in public Office is honest
men with courage and common sense
who are honestly right on the issues
that are up, and who therefore can
be trusted to be right on the issues
that are not up at the moment bur
that may at any moment arise. In a
public mans term of office 1t often
happens that the most important
questions he has to face are on mat
ters that arise after he has been
elected. If he is not a straight man,
sincere man, then even though as
matter Of policy he has declared him.
self right on one issue, he may go
crooked on another issue.
Republican Organization Worse Than
EverI
Two years ago a good many honest
people, honest Progressives, were
deceived into supporting gentlemen
like Mr.. Burleigh and Mr.. Peters be-
cause these gentlemen assured the
voters that they were really Progress
sives and would stand for Progress
sive policies. But as matter of
fact in Congress they have stood alb
solutely with the Bourbon reaction
aries of the stamp of Mr.. Gallinger
and the other men who two years
ago took part in the thoft from the
rank and file of the Republican
party of its right to make its own
platform and declare for its own
policies. The Republican party organi-

New York, Aug. 1S.-More activity
than at any time since the Interrupt
ton to cable service. This was accept
ed as evidence of the further improve
ment in the general financial situation.
Rates were firmer, however because
a considerable part of the recent ac-
cumulat lions had been disposed Of
Domestic monetary operations were
more numerous, many loans being
placed by local banks for interior in
situations for the prevailing high
rates. Fairly large sums were loaned
for out-of town banks at per cent.
Mercantile paper of prime quality re-
flected better inquiry at to z per
cent.
Little ground for encouragement was
offered by the official weather report
which told of increasing damage to
corn in the states west of the Missi-
ssippi because of drought. In fact, it is
now generally recognized that all ee-
reals except winter wheat, have suf-
fered severe reverses since the official
July report.
Indications of increasing confidence
in the steel trade were found in an
advance of dollar per ton ordered
by a large Independent manufacturer
of wire products and the reported re-
sumption next week of a rolling mill
plant in the Middle West, after two
years of idleness.
The committee which has been d.
recting the affairs of the Stock Ex-
change during it's suspension, is au-
thority for the statement that the po
sitior of it's members is inheritently
sound. This has given rise to rumors
of an early reopening, all of which
proves to have no foundation in fair.
The Exchange, it is declared. will not
attempt to do any business except for
cash so long as the British moratorium
remains effective.
