CORPORATIONS SUBJECT TO PUBLIC CONTROL, When you go beyond this field of co-operation, you reach a field which is now largely occupled by large cor- porations, which are exercising a pub- lic use and for that reason subject to public control, I belleve that eventually the publle ownership of ali public utilities is in- evitable in this country; but I am not a believer in the theory that we are ready to-day for municipal owner- ship in all our cities or for the govera- ment ownership of all our railroads, Municipal ownership without muni- cipal integrity may be a greater evil than corporate ownership, “and last condition of that man be worse than the first.” I believe that political honesty must come before public ownership, and that the only way we will ever get political honesty to restore the great majority of people to the land, where they live elose to nature, and learn the obligations of man to his fellow en, perative need of public Integrity, by learning to unite together to do things for themselves, HONESTY THE CORNERSTONE OF CO-OPERATION. is our will to be. And co-operation will train fuen to be honest with each other and with the public, because honesty and integrity id the discharge of obllliga- tions to one's fellow men corner stone of to-opet: ition, Without it Co-operation i8 a house built upon the sands, With such Integrity, co-operation Is a built upon the eternal rocks as a foundation, And so it Is that your movement for the formation of farmers’ a tions, in order that you may transact yourself the business of selling own soil products, is but a thread in the great cable of tion which will finally warp our of off the rocks, and draw | anchorage. The profits that fou wlll make rself In the formation of these co rative Jations, and their man ‘ment, the least of the reason ch should impel you onward in the tent. A CRISIS IN OUR HISTORY.

CO-OPERATIVE STORES IN ENGLAND, The growth of the co-operative stores In England has been something marvelous, Starting with practically nothing in the way of capital, in comparatively few years they built up a business aggregating lions of dollars a year. But they began right, They began at the small end, They began with the acorn and they gradually developed the tree until it has become a great strong oak. If they had begun at the big end, and subscribed a capital stock as large as their present capital, and gone out into the highways anc byways to hire men to transact thelr business, form- ing a great organization in which no man was tralned to his duties, they would bave failed bLopelessly aud miserably failed. > And so would any great business enterprise started In that way. Co-operation can be no exception te the law of evolution. You must begin with the seed and let it grow gradually, as they did In England with their co-operative stores, THE MAKING OF MEN. The great central thought which should be the pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud by day to lead the American people out of the wilder- ness of the corruptions and dangers of acenmulnted and aggregated wealth should be a great public movement in ling of “making men” rather than making money.” - Our government 18 upheld upoh the shoulders of ite own people, And as our eltizenship is maintained at a high standard of moral and physi. cdl strength on the part of our mon nd our womern, just to that extent will the strength of our nation be maintained » If we would he sure of this, must keep otir young men froin flock- ing to the ¢itles The w to do It Is 1 of ¢ mil- we to train Aen tio ny them in whi % + the problems nt the in all | dea activity ty.

Politics, and a dependence on the part of the people upon politics, are the hope and the salvation of the cor- ruptionists and the trusts, and of every combination of capital which lives hy imming the cream from the Industries of the people, If you want the cream yourself you must do your own skimming.
