in part:
"What we need in this country is
not less politics, but more attention
20 politics. Politics is the science of
attention TO the science of government.
"Our difficulties are largely economic.
The industrial problems in this coun-
try, which at the moment seem to be
overwhel Ginning, can be. and | have i'm
plclt faith viii be, solved in one way
by finding exact justice and enforc-
ing it.

square deal-eXact justice for labor,
exact justice for capital, and exact
Justice for the public, the third side OF
the TRIANGLE, which must not be lost
light OF. To that end We must develop
a reasonable method for honest and
efficient labor to acquire an interest
in the business to which labor is ex-
pected to give its best efforts. Pend
ing this development the equilibrium
between production and wages must
be established and there must be JUS
tice for all exact justice.

plete Republican control necessary for
full functioning shall have been
brought about, there shall be legisla-
tlon and execution on all of these

for the establishment of business in
the country on a sound, safe aid sane
basis; the solution of the railroad

lation between labor and capital, with

of our shipping problem that We may
