President did say both about the
riots and the police strike.
Extract From Speech.
Here is the extract from his Helena
speech, which incidentally was re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause by
his audiences:
The men who want to cure the
wrongs OF governments by destroying
governments are going to be destroy
ed themselves; destroyed, l mean, by
the chaos that they have created, be-
cause, remove the organization Of So
ciety and. even if you are strong
enough to take anything that you
want, you are not smart enough to
keep it
'"The next stronger fellow will take
1t away from you, the most audacious
group amongst you will make slaves
and tools OF you. That is the truth.
Shamed by Race Riots.
And hope you will not think it

some places in this country where men
have forgotten humanity and justice
and ordered society and have run
amuck That constitutes a man not
only the enemy of society, but his own
enemy and the enemy Of justice.
Il want to say this, too. that a
strike OF the policemen Of great city,
leaving that city at the mercy of an
army Of thugs. is crime against CIV
ilixation.
Tn my judgment the obligation of
policeman is as sacred and direct
as. the obligation Of a soldier. He is a
public servant, not a private employee,
and the whole honor and safety of
the community is in his, hands. He
has no right to prefer any private adj
vantage to the public safety
Hopes Lesson Burns In.
Il hope that that lesson will be
burned in so that it will never again
be forgotten because the pride of
America is that it can exercise self
control. That is what a self-govern-
ing nation h, not merely q nation that
elects, people to do its jobs for it, but
nation that can keep its head, con-
cert Its purposes, and find out how its
purposes can be executed"

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILL
SONS SPECIAL TRAIN. September
12-There will be no more strikes OF
policemen in the United states. II
President Wilson can prevent it. He
purposely digressed in the midst Of
his speech at Helena last night to
condemn the race riots in various
parts of the United States, and to ex-
press his disapproval Of the move
ment which would make possible
strikes by police unions in America.
The President was aroused by news

as a consequence. Of the policemen's
strike there. Also he has been wait

today. and the situation which has
arisen in Boston caused the President

Longest Speech Of Trip.

His reference to domestic disturb
ances of this kind came 1t the end of
the longest speech he has made on his
trip. He discussed the necessity for
early action on the peace treaty, then
pointed to the growth of disorder
around the world. Earlier he had sent
telegram to Commissioner Brown
low at Washington. hoping that no
issue would be brought to q head in
the National Capital. with reference
to the police unions, until the labor
conference could study the question
next month.
But 1t was feared later that the
telegram might give the impression
that the President was receding from
the position adopted by Commissioner
BrOwnlow after a conference with
President Wilson a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Brownlow announced then that
the District Of Columbia Commission
ers had no objections to a police or
ganization as such. but it must not be,

cation. 49,.
