t1sA There have been periods In the
past If great festlessness. There have
been strikes and lockouts; feverish agi.
tation b reform this and reform that !;
new political parties formed. and old
political parties shaken by OBJECTIONS
from their ranks.
But the most observing American
now living recalls nothing comparable
to the present restlessness in the coun-
try and throughout the country. II
shows in all sections and classes; in
all occupations; in all walks Of life.
It touches everything, and at all
points.
As . people we have solved many
grave problems. The nation was es-
tablished, and. later. saved from over.
throw, under circumstances Of many
great difficulties. Tho people SAW
what was necessary for their welfare,
and had the patience and the courage
to do their duty.
So now. Both patience and courage
are necessary. Reforms cannot be in
stituted in q day. That some far
reaching reforms are required it would
be idle to deny. But in order that
they may work the good desired, they
must be founded ON investigation, dis
cussion, and reflection, and not on
clamor, however well and persuasively
expressed.
