for generation to come, and all the
generous forces of the age and of the
world thrown back upon themselves
in discoungement and confusion.
1.-THE programme remaining is as
great as the programme accomplished.
The procedure of our courts is anti
quated and a hindrance, not an aid,
in the just administration of the law
We must simplify and reform it 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 clear understanding of their
common interests, which are no other
than the interests of the nation itself
as II community. We must release
our great undeveloped natural re-
sources upon some sensible plan of
use and conservation.
Need Votes of Women.
I'VE must recruit the votes of for
ward-Iooking 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
mere 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 a new sympathy and co.
operation.
1--WE must seek justice and the right
through every channel that offers;
and we must put America in all its
force, in all its wealth, alike of phys.
zeal 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 1t 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.
~, of the forces Of society within the
nation and within the family Of ma
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 arrestlng 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-cidzens, 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
