tanning good government and solving
present PROBLEMS, which he termed
largely economic. Exact justice for
capital and albor and elimination OF
force were asked. He said in part:
Il repeat and shall continually de-
clare that what we need in this coun-
Ntty is not less politics but more at
tention to politics. Politics is the
science Of government, and what we
need is more attention to the science
of government,
Our difficulties are largely eco
nomic. The industrial problems in
this country, which at tho moment
seem to be overwhelming, can be, and
have implicit faith, will be served
In one way--by finding exact justice
and enforcing 1t.
Equal Rights For All.
ut is simply a matter of Roosevelt's
square deal'-exact justice for labor
exact justice for capital end exact
justice for the public, the third side
of the triangle which must not be lost
sight of. To that end we must de-
velop a reasonable method for honest
and efficient labor to acquire an in
terest in the business to which labor
is expected to give its best efforts.
Pending this development the equilib-
rum between production and wages
must be established and there must
be justice for all---eXact Justice. the
justice of right and of reason, but not
of force. Justice for all--and do not
Forget that the American people still
know what exact justice is.
The republican party from its in
ception has stood against undue fed
cralization of Industries and activities.
There must be strong federal regula-
ton, but not federal ownership. We
have always endeavoTed and still en-
deayor to find the middle ground so
well defined as between The anarchy
Of unregulated individualsm and the
deadening Journalism of inefficient
and widespread state ownership We
are against paternalism in govern
ment, and We are against that form
of pedagogic paterralism that has ,lC-
veloped recently in this country. We
are against autocracy as vigorously
as we are against anarchy. Bolshe-
yism and kaiserism are equally dam
gcrous In industry as in government.
We are against both.
Intention of Republicans.
There shall be legislation passed as
rapidly as possible. and when the
complete republican control necessary
for full functioninG shall have been
brought about, there shall be legisla-
tion executed on all Of these things
have mentioned all moving in the
direction of efficiency and economy,
for the establishment of business in
the country on a sound, safe and sane
basis; the solution of the railroad
problem; legislation for a better rell-
ton between labor and capital, with
justice for both; a law providing for
budget system For the country's Own
business, a method which shoul have
| cen adopted long ago-and 1t is IN
teresting to note that in the message
of the chief executive last given to
congress he omitted any ention of
q budget system. There shall be leg
lsldtion for the development of trade,
the improvement of our diplomatic
service, the solution of our shipping
problem that we may have a merch-
ant marine adequate to meet the de-
Nelopment of world trade, the devel-
opent of our position on International
relations and still another, inumer-
able problems-all incident to the re-
which Is imminent
Live and HelD Live"
Let not our great accomplishments
in war be marred by our inability to
order our own affairs. Mere agita-
tion and mere motion are not prog
ress. The vicious circle is not the
shortest distance between honest o.
tort and highest reward. RemembH"
that one man is only better than an
other when he does better. Give every
we'll behaved man his equality of OPP
portunity, and require from him his
full measure of accountability. Live
and let live is not enough-we must
live and help live-and as you live
"nd help live, find always exact just
ice and enforce it."
