tinued. will not go back to the con-
dItions such as existed prior to our
entrance into the mighty struggle.
The people will take on new dignity.
What labor earns will find its way
into the pockets Of labor. New condi
tions will impose new duties. States
manship OF vision will create new OPP
nortunities for American commerce
and guarantee to labor the bread it
has earned. Political shibbofeths
men needed in 1916 are as dead as the
mummies of Egypt, and men who try
TO Ealvanize them will be inferred in
the catacembs that overlook Salt
aver.
This war is fundamental Its ef-
feet will be to change everything.
Trade and commerce and finance will
seek new and broader fields and men
and standards. There will be more
equitable division between capital and
labor. But no bolshevikism, no fail
ure to protect alike property and la
Dor, no class domination that lends it,
self TO injustice or wrong can flourish
on this continent
aWhat will the men who have
wrought well in furnace, or trenches,
or on the sea do when they come into
their own? They will stand for jus
tice, for law and order. Anarchy.
bolshevikism, privilege, predatory
business. cannot escape their wrath.
They will have a world vision and
will demand a treaty with all self
Sgoverning nations to preserve the
Seace OF the world, and will maintain
SpowerfuI navy TO help to enforce
5he DEGREES OF the tribunal they will
set up. They will continue to enlarge
the merchant marine so that American
bottoms will carry American goods
land exchange products with every ma
tion and with all the isles OF the sea.
hey will be less concerned as to
hether this is by public or private
ownership than with securing and en-
1arging worldwide commerce.
"The odds are thaa they will see in
Government ownership and direction
the best agency, but they Will dis
card that IL private ownership in
sures the best results. They will
never return to duplication OF rail-
road transportation and competition
in terminals and facilities. All the
BENEFITS which Government operation
OF railroads have given will be con-
tinued, whether the railroads are in
public or private ownership.
''The telephone and telegraph will
probably be a permanent part OF the
postal service, though the men who
will then rule America will be open
minded enough to discuss the best
method of communication. The les
sons of sanitation and war on drink
and immoral disease will insure to
the civilian population as great care
and as strenuous effort in the meth.
DDS of prevention and cure as war
has taught are needed for the men
under arms.
These men will have little patience
with the how-not-to-do-its and the
better er-stick-to-the-old-w apostles
and apologists. Men who have dug
trenches under the fire of the enemy

struck by torpedoes, endured priya-

their creed upon the Declaration o.
Independence and the Treaty of Peace
and the men who wish to build high
walls to make an isolated America
or turn national wealth into selfish
channels will be little needed in the
forward march as these men make
America truly democratic, where all
men have equal opportunity, and
where no man can take from the

one who in such q time as this did
his duty in the cause of mankind.
In the golden age of the republic,
now soon to dawn, when only men
who have made sacrifices will be
deemed worthy OF q seat in the coun.
ell chambers, labor will come into
its own 1t will not seek anything
for itself that It has not earned. It
will ask nothing that win take what
belongs to others It will not fore
gather only with men OF its own craft,
but will keep America free from class
consciousness and from class political
action It will claim for itself justice
and equality and will demand that
all Americans alike shal have no
less: The equal enjoyment of the
birthright Of al citizens of this free
republic
