to get peace as you want II takes more
than few moments.
Raise U. S. Power.
IF we are true friends of freedom.
I 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 lin Its way.
"Our duty II we are to do this greut
thing and believe that America is the
hope OF the world, we must stand tv
| gether night and day.
"But while we are fighting for free
dom, we must see that labor Is free.
"And that means number Of things.
We must see that the conditions OF Ia
Dor are rendered not more onerous
during war, but see that the instru-
ments through which labor conditions
are improved must not be checked"
Praises Gompers.
The president eulogized President
Gompers.
II like to place my mind along side
n mind that knows how to pull in har-
ness" he said.
"The horses that kick over the
traces will have to be put ina cor
ral."
He continued: ITO stand together
mems nobody must interrupt the
progress of our energy; interruption
can be avoided without invasion OF
freedom.
Nobody has the right to stop pro-
cess OF labor until all processes OF
council have been stopped.
IL might as well say right here that
l am not talking to you alone. You

spirit that displays itself here and
there In the country.
Lawieosness Unjustified.
'I have no sympathy with men who
take punishment into their own hands.
l want to utter my earnest protest
against lawlcssness in any cause or
anywhere. Democracy means FIRST OF
all we can govern ourselves.
"The 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 have described. We
must accept and obey common coun-
sci.
"Some instrumcntality OF co-opera.
ton must be devised between labor
and capital.
'The reason 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.

about me personally. but the power
and dignity of the things represent"
