The groans and agony of it all had not yet reached our ears. the solemn, moving under- tone of our life. coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the struggle had its inti- mate and familiar seat. With the great government went many deep se- eret things which we too long delayed to look into und scrutinize with ecan- did, fearless eyes.

We have itemized with some degree of particularity the things that ought to be altered. and here are some of the chief items: A tariff which cuts us off from our proper part in the commerce of the world. violates the just princi- ples of taxation and makes the govern. ment a facile instrument in the hands of private interests: a banking and cur- rency system based upon the necessity of the government to sell its bonds fifty years ago and perfectly adapted to con- centrating cash and restricting credits; an industrial system which. take it on all its sides. financial as well as ad- ministrative, holds -apital in leading strings. restricts the liberties and lim- its the opportunities of labor and ex- ploits without renewing or conserving the natural resources of the country; a body of agricultural activities never yet given the efficiency of great busi- ness undertakings or served as it should be through the instrumentality of science taken directly to the farm or afforded the facilities of credit best suited to its practical needs; water- courses undeveloped, waste places uu- reclaimed. forests untended., fast dis- appearing without plan or prospect of renewal. unregurded waste heaps at We have studied as per- haps no other nation has the most ef- fective means of production, but we have not studied cost or economy as we should either as organizers of in- dustry, as statesmen or as individuals. Society's Duty to Itself, Nor have we studied and perfected the means by which government may be put at the service of humanity in safeguarding the health of the nation the health of its men and its women and its children, as well as their rights in the struggle for existence. This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity These are matters of justice, There can be no equality or opportunity, the first essential of justice in the body politic, if men und women and children be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter. control or singly | cope with. Society must see to it that it does not itself crush or weaken or i damage its own constituent parts. The first duty of law is to keep sound the society it serves, Sanitary laws, pure food jaws and laws determining con- ditions of labor which individuals are powerless to determine for themseives are intimate parts of the very busi- ness of justics and legal efficiency.’ These ure some of the things we ought to do and not leave the others undone, the old fashioned, never to be neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property and of individual right This is the high enterprise of the new day: To lift everything that concerns our life as a nation to the light that shines from the hearth fire of every man's conscience and vision of the right. It ix inconceivable we should do this as partisans: it is inconceivable we as they are or in blind haste. We shall restore, not destroy. We shall deal with our economic system as it is and as it may be modified, not as it might be if we had a clean sheet of paper to write upon, and step by step we shall make it what it should be, in the spirit of those who question their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge. not shallow self satisfac- tion or the excitement of excursions whither they cannot tell, Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto. Task Not Merely One of Politics. And yet it will be no cool process of mere science. The nation has been deeply stirred—stirred by a solemn pas- sion, stirred by the knowledge of wrong. of ideals lost, of government too often debauched and made an in- strument of evil. The feelings with which we face this new age of right and opportunity sweep across our heartstrings like som air out of God's own presence, where justice and mercy are reconciled and the judge and the brother are one. We know our task to be no mere task of politics, but a task which shall search ns through and through, whether we be able to under- stand our time and the need of our people, whether we be indeed their spokesmen and interpreters, whether we have the pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will to choose our high conrse of action. This is not a day of triumph: it is a day of dedication. Here muster not the forces of party. but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us: men’s lives hang in the balance: men’s hopes cali upon ns to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? |[ sum- mon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward looking men, to my side. God helping me, | will not fail them if they will but connsel and sustain me. SPRING MILLS. C.
