 Honest Business Scare
 Honest business is secure, MT Roosevelt assured 100000 persons gathered for Wisconsin's tercen- anary celebration. Only 10000 could crowd into to hear the speech. He prescribed selfish profit by the few at the expense of the many.
 But the president said the methods employed in seeking social justice would not rob Peter to pay Paul"
 "The processes we follow do not in addition to general prosperity take from one and give to another" he said. We are concerned with more than mere subtraction and addition. We are concerned with the multiplication of wealth through cooperative action; wealth in which all can share"
 The address contained political implications which may figure in the three-ring show developing in this state. By indirection, Mir Roosevelt uttered what observers regarded as an appreciative en- dorsement of Senator Robert M. La Toilette, progressive republican who bolted Herbert Hoover in 1892 to support the New Deal. La Toilette Situation Wisconsin democrats will oppose La Toilette this year with a man of their own party. The youthful | insurgent, heads the ticket of d | third party movement and there will be regular republican slate in the Wisconsin field.
 Your two senators, both old friends of mine, and many others have worked with me in maintain ing excellent cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of the government. l take this opportunity of express ing my gratitude to them." MT Roosevelt, in fighting words, lost little time in getting down to cases. summing up briefly the birth of the New Deal and pointing out the obstacles which may hinder complete fulfillment, the persons who call for expressions of confi- dence from the administration. At | the same time, however, he ex- plained:,
 No Injury to Business This government intends no in l jury to honest business. The pro- cesses we follow in seeking social | justice do not in adding to general prosperity take from one and give to another. In this modern world, the spreading out of opportunity ought not to consist of robbing Peter to pay Paul."
 We are concerned" he empha- sized, with more than mere sub- l traction and addition. We are concerned with the multiplication of wealth through cooperative ac- tion; wealth in which all can share"
 accompanied by cooperation among those charged by the peo- | pie with the duties of government. am glad to be in a state from which I have greatly drawn in set ting up the permanent and tenn | porary agencies of government"
 God Given Trustees MT Roosevelt contrasted the New Deal with the pioneering spirit | shown by the early Wisconsin set | tiers when he observed that i've are but carrying forward the pio- neerlng methods to the better use of vast land and water resources what God has given us to use as trustees not only for ourselves but | for future generations" | But man is fighting also those forces which disregard human cos operation and human rights in seeking that kind of individual profit which is gained at the ex- pense of his fellows.
 Tt is just as hard to achieve i harmonious and cooperative action among human beeings as it is to conquer the forces of nature. Oniy l through the submerging of individ- ual desires into unselfish and prae- tical cooperation can civilization grow"
 Action May Be Delayed Action, however, the president warned, may be delayed by two types of individuals.
 First" he said, there is the man whose objeetives are wholly right and wholly progressive, but who declines to cooperate or even to discuss methods of arriving at the objectives because he insists on his own methods and nobodys else"
 "The other type to which I re- fer Is the individual who demands some message to the people of the United States that will restore what he calls confidence. When hear this, I cannot help but re- member the plea made by govern, ment and certain types of so-called big business" all through the years of 1880. 1881 and 1882 that the only thing lacking in the United States was confidence.
 Before left on my trip I re- l ceived two letters from important men, both of them pleading that I | say something to restore confi- dence. To both of them I wrote | identical answers; What would you like to have, me say?' From | one of them I have received TO reply at ae six weeks later. take 1t that he still Is wondering how to answer. The other man wrote me frankly that In his judgment the
