fancies and isms which have filled
our streets with unemployment and
put away the dinner pail of the work

impoverished home. l urge the re-
storation of confidence in the fact that
American men of business are the

that the American workingman can

that prosperity can come to us only

order that it may be successful and
energetic aid to all the business it is
designed to serve.
The public interest in transporta-

after you Of your bone and sinew.
Gentlemen, that the president of
the United States and the governors
of the most progressive states of the
Union are anxious students OF the
needs OF our time gives our country
happy augury and patriotic assurance
that the present is a passing phase in
it's vital affair. This is a business

for the expenditures necessary to ac-
complish the purposes demanded of
transportation in the public interest.
But if the public served by transport
alton deems it consistent with the
public interest that the money for
these expenditures shall be withheld,
then high standards of maintenance
will have to be modified, improve
ments will be relegated to the realm
of contemplation, and extensions re-
main an unfuliilled dream.
Business Must Be Encouraged.
Finally, until American business
generally is released from the atmos-
phere Of attack, and the repression of
business is cast aside to make way
for the restoration OF American in
itiative in its full vigor, we need not
hope for material improvement in the
conditions that prevail throughout
this nation. We cannot whistle our
selves into prosperity. The booster
lifts nothing higher than the level of
his own teeth. The trumpeter of
prosperity beguilcs only his own ears.
Prosperity is real or it does not exist.
We do not have to look for it; it

large or small, whether they work
with their muscles or their minds
(and all work requires mind, dis.
cover that their condition improves

There is nothing more distressing to
an employer OF labor than to turn
away good men who desire to dc
good work; but until all wake up to
the fact that unless the employer Is
prosperous the employe is failing in
