of the SAVIOR of life. We have got to
know each other. We have got to CO.
operate with each other. We have got
to stand together That is all that
politics is for AS a contest Tor once

ton Of thoughtful men to accomplish

with a congress that did something L
would quit If ! didn't think that
making speeches contributed little
bit to the common thought, that IT
had nothing to do with selfish purpase,
but had everything to do with COM
bined purpose I wouldn't make any
speeches. Speeches are not interest
ing because of the man who makes
them or the words he uses. They are
interesting in proportion as the people
who hear believe what he says.
Now talking through the hat
ought to be a dead industry. It ought
to be discouraged by silence and empty
halls, and every man ought to have
as a motto over the stage from which
he speaks these simple and familiar

don't put up L am ready to shut up.
Americas Rebirth.
"I want to leave a very solemn
thought in your minds. America is
row about to experience her rebirth.
We have been making America in
pieces for the sake of the pieces. Now
we have got to construct her entire
for the sake Of the whole and for the
sake of the world, because, ladies and
gentlemen, there is q task ahead for
Us for which we must be very soberly
prepared I have said, and shall say
again, that when the great present war
is over it will be the duty of America
to ioin with the other nations of the
world in some kind of league Tor the
maintenance of peace. Now America
was not a party to this war and the
onlv terms upon which we will be ad-
uitted to a league almost all the other
powerful members Of which were en-
gagged in the war and made lnnnlte
sacrifice when we apparently Hlaoe

desire, namely, that America shall not
stand for the just conceptions ana
bases of peace, for the competitions Oh

YOU not noticed how almost every
great industry, every great profession,
every year holds a congress of some
sort. Why even the advertising men,
who we thought were the sharpest
competitors in America, have a ma
tional asso citation in which they CO.
operate. For what purpose? For the
purpose of getting ahead of each
other? No. For the purpose OF guild
ing one another and setting up stand
ards, and the chief standard they
have adopted is the word Truth
And so in profession after profession
men are getting together by way OF
cooperation instead of by way OF
mutual destruction. T hold this to be
a happy omen. I see the growth In
America of this conception Of solidar-
ity of the interest of each being the
interest of all, and the interest of
each growing out of the interest of
all.
Relations Between Capital and Labor.
There is one field in which we are
particularly sluggard in respect of
this. I mean the relations between
capital and labor. Nothing can be
for the interest of capital that is not
can be in the interest Of labor which
is not in the interest of capital. If
men want to get rich, they must
have human relationships with those
who help them to get rich. That is
a lesson that men have been exceed
inglv slow to learn, slower than any
other lesson Of cooperation in Amei-
lea. I pray God that their eyes may
be opened, and that they may see that
the future of this country lies in
their cooperation, open, candid, cor
dial and not in their antagonism, and
that if they will once get together
and plan in the same spirit the same
things, the industry of America will
go forward by leaps and bounds such
as we have never yet conceived.
Sometimes it is necessary in order
to arrest attention to pull men up
with a round turn and say, Stop,
look. listen because presently if you
don't. the great forces of society will
correct the things that have gone
wrong. Society is the jury. The par
ties are not going to settle. The ma
ton is going to settle, and I am coun-
sci for the nation
And so, my fellow citizens, you see
how this little plant Of the cause of
good roads spreads into a great tree
