and concluded so long as efreum- stances change and the fortunes and relations of men shift and alter. The question you have to decide one week from next Tuesday Is whether it shall be prematurely interrupted, perhaps for a generation to come. and all the generous forces of the age and of the world thrown back upon themselves in Encouragement and confusion.
 "The programme remaining is as great as the programme accomplished. The procedure of our courts is anti quated and a hindranee, not an aid, in the just administration of the law. We must simplify and reform 1t as other enlightened nations have done, and make courts of justice out of our courts of law. We must seek and find the means of bringing capital and labor to a clear understanding of their common interests, which are no other than the interests of the nation itself as community. We must release our great undeveloped natural re- sources upon some sensible plan of use and conservation.
 Need Votes of Women.
 "We must recruit the votes of for ward-looking men by the votes of women so that we may have a fresh insight in all matters of social re- form and move more certainly and more promptly in the solution of the many new problems of society with which the law must henceforth deal. We must unite the Americas, North and South in new sympathy and CO., operation.
 ''We must seek justice and the right through every channel that offers; and we must put America in all it's force, in all its wealth, alike of phys ical power and spiritual enthusiasm, at the service of the other nations of the world when peace comes on the other side of the seas, to make that peace permanent by establishing it on the everlasting foundations of right, cooperation, equality and justice. These things we must do and all else that may serve mankind.
 "And our motto must be CO-OPERA- TON, the union, not the hostile rival ry, of the forces of society within the nation and within the family of na- tions. The interests of mankind can never again be served by aggression; the interest of no nation or group of nations can ever again be served by aggression. The contests of jealousy are as bitter and as dangerous as the contests of arms.
 Must Press Reforms.
 ''The world must henceforth seek the means of accommodation, not the means of arresting quarrels merely. The nation we love and serve must be among the first and foremost of those that rise to the new ideals with spirit and well directed force.
 "Such is the prospect, such is the programme, my fellow-citizens, to which we look forward, to which it is our purpose to move forward with enthusiasm and irresistible ardor. We will not pause in the midst of our task. We know that we stand at one of the most critical junctures in the history of the world, when all hopes hang in the balance.
 "We will suffer no man, no body of men, through timidity or fear or jeaI- ousy, to delay or hinder or embarrass us. Reaction can have no place of tolerance amongst us when all the world waits upon those who plan jus tice and progress.
 T summon you. not only to sustain, but to swell, the hosts that have their faces now set towards the light, their eyes lifted to the horizons where the dawn of new age begins to brighten; !; and I summon you with confidence, with a certain expectation of the part America and her great people are to play when the dawn broadenS into day."
