/ would help the suffering in every
land, but l would first take care of
my own household. The American
statesman who neglects America to
scatter charity throughout Europe
when there is suffering and want
here at home is not any better than
the man mentioned in the Scripture
who neglects his own household. Six
months of extra pay to the soldier
will stimulate production, give en-
enlargement and hope. 1t will not
be a donation or charity, but rather
an acknowledgment of the nations
gratitude, and the best investment
the American people could make
through their Government for the
good of all.
Greater love hath no man for his
country than the man who is willing
to give his life to keep his country's
flag triumphant and stainless in the
air. These men have shown their
love and devotion to the flag, and il
is as little as the country can afford
to do to tax the great substantially
untaxed war-made fortunes for the
consolation and comfort Of the SOL
der and his family. II in America
permanent peace shall follow this
war, we must provide against the
wolf of want bowling at the door,
especially of the men who barred
their heroic breasts to the storm OF
war. BolsheVism is not a contagi-
Gus social disease, but, like scurvy and
pellagra, the result of lack Of nu-
triton, or malnutrition.
You cannot stop its growth by
quarantining against it. 1t cannot
be stamped out by proscriptive legis-
lation, punishment, starvation, and
the enactment Of penal statutes. You
might as we'll undertake to stop the
spread Of influenza by numbering the
patient as to limit the growth of this
social disease by harsh and criminal
legislation. The panacea for this
disease and all other similar social
disorders will be found in giving the
laboring people of the world an
equal chance in the race Of life with
the capitalists. Give them good
wages, enough of the products Of
their own toll to furnish comfortable
homes, to educate their children,
and otherwise improve their man
ler of living, and then there will be
ma more Bolshevism or conflicts be-
tween capital and labor.

pear before my mental vision:
But behold a fellow mortal fashioned
on another plan;
Coarse, defoTmed. and misbegotten-
more devil than q man
Heir TO sin and want and sorrow,
born without a sense of shame.
Stung by sharp, keen, fierce desires
burning in his blood like flame.
Weak, unbalanced, repulsive-rey ell
ing in sensual things;
If he hath a soul within him, It's a

tbs a soul that hath no wings!
He was born without the power or
the impulse to forbear
When the dumb, resistless forces of
the cycles centered there.
The picture is a little ovedrawn,
but it serves the purpose of the illus
tration.
Mr.. President it is a matter of fact
that the men and women who labor
in this world have never had a fair
share Of the products of their own
toll.
The people whose labor produces
the vital necessities of life, the
things that cIothe and feed the
world, have not been given a square
deal in the past and are not given a
square deal in the present. When
that fact dawns upon the obfuscated
intellect of the toiler, if he should be
melted, even in a spirit of revenge,
to rise in the fullness of his unre-
stricted physical force, it may not
be surprising or unexpected that he
should go to excuses in dealing with
his former oppressors. | do not ap-
prove or condone any form of in
justice or lawleSsness, but am con-
WINGED that in the court where con-
science sits as judge, when all the
facts are considered, there will be
found for the unfortunate revolr-
tionists of Europe some mitigating
circumstances.
The many remedies and solutions
which have been proposed for the
great problems which confront the
world are as varied and as multitu-
dinous as the pebbles of the sea are

civilization Of this century.

and in turn soon find its way back

These men were taken away from
their homes by force, and now when
they go back they will necessarily
find conditions disorganized and in
some instances discouraging. This
small pittance from the Government

/ have often said that the only
light which we have to guide our
uncertain footsteps through the
darkness of the future shines. out
from the experiences and trials of
the past; but present conditions are
so unlike and dissimilar from condi-
tions that ever existed before in the
worlds history that l am unwilling
ly driven to the conclusion that
what has happened in the immediate
past furnishes no reliable guide or
suggestion as to. what may happen
in the immediate future. The world
is mad, crazed with blood lust and
greed for gain, kind of Caesarean
mania seems to have taken posses
sion of the brains of some men am
bilious for world power, and taking
it all in all, the moral viewpoint
seems to have been changed and
national and international sense of
justice altogether distorted.
Having sown to the wind, the
world is now reaping the horrible
harvest of the whirlwind. The peo-
pie of Russia, after generations of
oppression, ''profaned and disin-I
herited," are now-dYunken with their
suddenly acquired freedom and in
dependence. The ignorance which
the rich few forced upon. the unfor-
tunate many, tainted with the spirit
of hate and revenge, unbridled and
unrestrained, is now exemplifying
the biblical injunction, Whatsoever
We sow, that shall We also reap"
The peasants of Russia for gen
eratiOns have borne the weight of
taxation, toiled without ceasing, and
in silent suffering leaned upon the
hoe and gazed upon the ground, the
of ages in their faces and on
their backs the burden of the world.
The masters, lords, and rulers of
those lands are now called upon to
reckon with these men, to answer
the brute question in the hour when
whirlwinds of rebellion snake the
world"
The cruel, grasping greed and the
conscienceless reign Of the rich are
responsible for the crimes of the
vicious, ignorant Bolshevists, whose
mistakes excite emotions of COM
miseration in my breast rather than
feelings of hate. Whatever excuses
they may have perpendicular
they are probably many-their con-
duct is in no respect more inhuman,
illegal, reprehensible, or revolution
airy than the conduct Of their soul

Their predecessors knew better:
they possibly do not. Man is the
