"1f were speaking from selfish,
partisan point OF view. could wish
nothing better than that they could
show their true colors as partisans
and succeed. But / am not quite 30
maleNOlent as that. would
rather pray for them than abuse them.
But the great voice OF Amcrlca ought
to make them understand what ihtv
are said to be attempting now. E.
This country is bursting its jacket,
and they are seeing to 1t that the jack
ct Is not only kept tight, but is rivet-
ed with steel.
"The Democratic party knows low
TO serve business In this country. and
It's future program is a program of
service. We have laid the
lines now upon which business that
was to do the country harm shall be
stopped and an economic control
which was intolerable shall be brok-
en- up. We have emancipated Ameri-
ca. but America must do something
with her freedom.
| Great Bills Pending.
There are great bills pending in
the United States senate juat now
that have been passed by the house
OF representatives. which are intend
ed as constructive measures In be-
half OF business-one great measure
which will make available the enor-
nous water powers of this country
for the industry OF 1t; another bill
which will unlock the resources Of
the public domain which the Rcpubli-
cans desire to have locked up so that
nobody could use them.
What we are trying to do in the
great conservation bill Is to carry
out for the first time in the history
OF the United States a system by
which the great resources of this
country can be used instead of being
set aside 90 that no man can get ct
them. I shall watch with q great deal
Of interest what the self-styled friends
Of business try to do to those bills.
| DO not misunderstood me. There
are some men on that side of the
chamber who understand the value OF
these things and are standing valiant
ly by them, but they are small mi
| nority. The majority that is standing
by them Is on our side Of the cham
ber and they are the friends of Amer
ica
Should Help Working Men.
"But there are other things which
| we have to do. Sometimes when
look abroad. my friends. and see the
great mass OF struggling humanity
on this continent. 1t goes very much
to my heart to see how many men are
ct disadvantage and are without
guides and helpers. Don't you think
1t would be a pretty good idea for
the Democratic party to undertake
systematic method Of helping the
working men OF American. There is O
very simple way in which they can
help the working men. II you were
simply to establish q great federal
employment bureau It s.ould do vast
deal: by the federal agencies which
! spread over this country men could.
| be directed to those ports OF the coun-
| try, to those undertakings, to those
tasks. where they could find profita-
BILE employment. The labor of this
country needs to be; guided from op-
portunity to opportunity. We proved
it the other day.
Eve were told that In two States in
the union 10000 men were needed to
gather the crops. We suggested In
cabinet meeting that the department
OF labor should have printed infor-
nation about this In such form that
1t could be posted up in the postoffices
all over the United States: and that
the department. Of labor should get in
touch with the labor departments of
States 80 that notice could 60 out
from them. What was the result :?
Those thirty thousand men were found
and were sent to. the places where
they got profitable employment. !.
(. It will not cost q great deal of
money and 1t will do great deal OF
service II the United States were to
undertake to do such things syste-
matically and all the year round. and
I for my part hope that It will do
that.
"And there Is another thing that
needs very muchs3to be done. 1 am
not one OF those who doubt either tho
industry or the learning or the integ-
4 rity Of the courts OF the United States,
but / do know that they have a very
antiquated way Of doing business.
80 and>1 saw. that It pis an immed-
iate' and an imperative call upon US
to rectify that, because the speediness
Of justice, the inexpensiveness Of JUS
tlce. the ready access OF Justice, is
the greater part :0f Justice itself.
