is ip the world, but I didn't send him on q peace mission. I sent him on q mission to find out how the war can | be won.
 "IIe knows, as know, that the way to get peace as you want it takes more than few moments.
 Raise U. S. Power.
 If we are true friends of freedom, we will see that the power of this coun. try and the producing activity of the country shall be raised to the highest degree, and nobody should be allowed to stand in it's way.
 "Our duty if we are to do this great thing and believe that America is the hope of the world, we must stand to- gether night and day.
 "But while we are fighting for free dom. we must see that labor is free.
 And that means q number of things. We must see that the conditions of la bor are rendered not more on6rous during war, but see that the instru- pents through which labor conditions are improved must not be checked"
 Praises oompers.
 The president eulogized President Gompers.
 T like to place my mind along side a mind that knows how to pull in har- ness" he said.
 "The horses that kick over the traces will have to be put in cor ral."
 He continued: "To stand together means nobody must interrupt the progress of our energy; interruption can he avoided without invasion of freedom.
 "Nobody has the right to stop pro cess of labor until all processes of council have been stopped
 q might as well say right here that I am not talking to you alone. You do sometimes stop the forces of labor, but there are others who do the same.
 "You are more reasonable in a larg CT number of cases than capitalists. I haven't said these things to them per sonally, because l haven't had chance.
 "Everyhody has got to transact busi- ness. I would like to see all of the critics exported. A settlement is hard to avoid when parties are brought face to face.
 We must insist in every instance the parties must come into each oth- CTS presence.
 'My counsel to you Is this:
 'Iet US show ourselves Americans by not going off into separate camps. but by cooperating in releasing the world from bondage. We are all of the same clay and spirit, and we can get together If we want to.
 T would be willing to set that up as final test of an American. I have been very much distressed by the mob spirit that displays itself here and there in the country.
 Lawlessness Unjustified.
 "I have no sympathy with men who take punishment into their own hands, I want to utter my earnest protest against lawlessness in any cause or anNWnefe. Democracy inedHS Hfsl ol all We can govern ourselves.
 ''Fhe man who takes the law Into his own hands Is not The right man to cooperate in the development of free institutions Some of the processes that capital and labor take are very near to what I have described. We must accept and obey common coun- sel.
 "Some instrumentality of eo-oIera- tien must be devised between labor and capital.
 'The reason I came from Washing ton is that I sometimes get lonely there There are so many people in Washington that know things that aren't so and so few people that know what the rest of the city is thinking about.
 T wanted to talk to men who are up against the real thing and say to them: I'm with you if you're with me
 "The thing to do is not to think about me personally, but the power and dignity of the things I represent"
