by them Is on our side OF the cham.
Der, and they are the friends Of Amer
lea
But there are other things which
We have to do Sometimes when ! LOOK
abroad, my friends, and see The greal
mass OF struggling humanity on that
continent. il goes very much to ny
heart to see how many men are al q
dieadv9ntage and are without gutdcs
and helpers. Don't YOU think II would
be pretty good idea for the demo-
crutic party 70 undertake a systematic
method Of helping the working men
of America Taere Is very simple
way In which they can help the work.
ing men If you were simply TO es-
tablish great federal employment
bureau, il would DO a vast deal; by
federal agencies which sprend over
this country. men could be directed to
those parts Of the country. to those
undertakings TO those tasks, where
they could find profitable employment
I The labor of this country needs to be
/ guided from opportunity to opportu
nifty We proved It the other day.
! $4,000 Men Needed IN Two States.
! I'VE were told that in two states Of
/ the union 10000 men were needed to
gather the crops We suggested in a
cabinet meeting that the department
Of labor should have printed ilioruld-
lion about this, in such form tina: i
could be posted up In the postoffices
al over the United states; and that
the department OF labor should get in
touch with the labor departments Of
Of states, go that notice could go Gus
from them what was the result t!
Those 10000 men were found and
were sent to the places whore they
got profitable employment
u do not know any one thing that
has happened in my administration
that made me feel happier than that
that the Jobs and the men had been
brought together u will not cost a
great deal of money. and II win do q
great deal Of service If the United
States were to undertake such things
systematically and all the year round;
aud /, for my part, hope that II Will do
that If ! were writing an additional
plank for democratic platform I
would put that In.
should Expedite justice.
And there Is another thing that
needs very much to be done | am not
one Of those who doubt either the m
dustry or the learning Of the integrity
of the courts Of the United States but
/ do know that they have a very an
tiquated way Of doing business do |
know that the United States in It's
judicial procedure, is many decades
behind every other civilized govern
ment In the world and | say that it is |
an immediate and an imperative call !
upon as TO rectify that, because the /
speedlncss of Justice, the inexpensive !
ness Of justice, the ready access " |
justice. is the greater part of justice !
itself If you have 10 be rich 60 get |
Justice because Of the cost of the very /
process Itself, then there Is no justice |
at all So ! say there Is another di- /
rection In which we ought to he very +.
quick to see the signs of the times /
and TO help those who need to be |
helped.
\ Scientific Tariff
And then. there is something else. |
The democrats have heard the repubii-
cans talking about the scientific way
In which to handle tariff the rcpun-
lieans have never given any exhibition
of u knowledge of how to handle It |
scientifically If 1t Is scientific to pIt (
additional profits into the hands Of
those who are already getting the /
greater part of the profits, then they
have been exceedingly scientific 1t
has been the science of selfishness; il
has been The science of privilege. That
kind Of science do not care to know
about, except enough to stop
IT, But If by scientific treatment of
the tariff they make adjustment to
the actual trade conditions Of America
and the world, then ! am with them
and ! want to cali their attention, for
though they voted for It, they appar-
emily have not noticed IT,, TO the fact
that the bill which creates the new
trade commission does that very thing.
We We're at pains to see that it was
put In there
Powers of Commission.
THAT commission is authorized and
empowered to inquire into and report
to congress, not only upon all the con
ditlons of trade IN this country but
upon the cost OF manufacture the
aost of transportation -all the things
hat enter into the question of the tariff
In foreign countries as well as in the
United States, and into all those ques-
lions OF foreign combinations which
affect International trade between Ea-
rope ana the United states. II has the
tull powers which viii guide congress
IN the scientific treatment Of CUES
lions of international trade.
Being 10y profession school mas
Ter, ! am glad to point that out TO the
.lass OF mlnsUucted republicans,
though | have not always taught IN
.he primary grade,
should Satisfy Independents.
II that is not bill OF particulars
to satisfy the Independent voters Of
me country | would like to have one
produced There are things that the
progressive program contained which
we being constitutional lawyers. hap ,
ptned TO know cannot be done by tn
congress of the United states. That IS
i detail which they seem 70 have over
looked, l}ut SO far as they can be
done by state legislatures, l. for one,
speaking fer one democrat ann heart
ly m favor of their being done. Be
ausc democrats do not congregate
merely in Washington; they eongre
cate also In the state capitols and
hcy eongregate there in VERY intu-
nual numbers and with very lnGl-
initial ORGANIZATIONS.
