Uii.L COME TO SCRANTON.
ROOSEVELT OPENS
THE CAMPAIGN
Concluded from Pago 1.
mles of the nation na a whole, as al
ready by their action on the currency
they have shown themselves to be the
enemies of honesty within the nation.
Truly Mr. Bryan's new dispensation
begins with a queer catalogue of saints,
when they canonize Aguinaldo as a
hero and Altgeld as a aagc. The com
bination Is entirely appropriate. Those
who would encourage anarchy at home
most naturally strike hands with the
enemies of our country abroad. Tho
friend of the bomb-thrower and his
apologists are doing what lr fit and
meet when they strike hands acros
tho seas with those who are fighting
our soldiers In foreign lands.
Make no mistake! In the Philippines
we are at open war with an enemy
who must be put down. It is abso
lutely impossible to save our honor ex
cept through victory, and it Is equally
impossible to win peace, to restore or
der in the islands or to prepare tho
way for self-government there save
through victory.
A weak nation can be pardoned for
giving up a work which It does badly,
but a strong nation cannot be pardoned
for flinching from a great work be
cause forsooth there are attendant diffi
culties and hardships.
Our opponents are fighting against
the stars! In their course, for they are
striving to bring dishonor upon the
American republic. They can qualify,
refine, differentiate and differ all they
wish, but fundamentally their attitude
is the attitude of hostility to tho flng,
of hostility to our sailors and soldiers,
of hostility to the greatness of the na
tionthe greatness of the race. If we
flinch from doing our task In the faeo
of tho nations, If we llee from the Phil
ippines, we shall have written a shame
ful page In the history of our country,
a page which our sons and grandsons
will read with bowed heads. I verity
believe that the shame and anger such
action would nrouse In our bosoms
would force us In a few brief years
again to tread the path upon which we
have now entered; only the delay would
Increase beyond measure the difficulty
and danger.
A Destructive Attitude.
Our opponents seek to make their
points by denouncing trusts and' ex
pansion. In both cases they occupy a
purely destructive attitude. They ad
vocate nothing constructive. The
Democratic party, with that fatnl
facility it has shown for many years
In appearing at every recurring presi
dential election as the enemy of the
business man, and, above all, of the
worklngman, now once more comes to
the front as the champion of the forces
that tell for economic destruction.
They denounce the trusts, but the
measures they proposo against them
are purely political; are not economic,
not remedial. They strive to win by
inflaming Ignorant passion, and trut
that the passion thus Inllamed will
overcome sound Judgment.
Corporations (for what we commonly
call trusts are generally merely big
corporations) render great services, and
are Indispensable Instruments of In
dustry In our modern life, but their
growth has been accompanied by tho
growth of evils which we cannot but
remedy by common sense nnd common
honesty not demagogic outcry. Our
opponents say we havo no plan. We
have. And the plan is. ns a ilrst step,
to try tho effect of publicity and then
to supplement publicity by taxation,
and: then by licensing or whatever
measure experience shows to bo effect
ive. Before hitting we must know ex
actly what wo are hitting at, and
whether the blow will hurt more than
it helps. The first thing to do Is to
provide for full Investigation of and
exhaustive report on all these corpora
tions, especially nil the corporations
which have grown to be of such por
tentous dimensions ns to control any
considerable portion of a given trade.
Industry or produce In short, all those
corporations which wo mean when wo
speak of trusts.
The mem letting In of the light will
In Itself cure many evils, especially
those of over capitalization and the
Undue suppression of competition, and
as for the evils that remain, when once
we can see them clearly and distinctly,
the remedy can readily be devised
without entallng upon the Innocent th
awful misery that will surely follow
any blind nnd ignorant attempt to
smash parts of our modem Industrial
machinery, without taking tho trouble
to find out their relations to our Indus
trial life Itself.
Let us find out every Important de
tail of the business of the great cor
poratlons examined; the amount of
stock, the amount of bonds, the terms
upon which Issued, tho salaries of the
highest employes, the wages and ng.
Krogate of wages paid to the others, the
output of the product and the price at
which It Is sold, so that In each ease
we may And whether the combination
has resulted In raising or diminishing
production, and, In short, learn every
detail which will show exactly what
the procesa has been.
The Question of Favors.
Especially let us find out whether tho
trusts havo any unduly favored rela
tions with great transportation com
panies; whether favors are shown them
that are not shown their smaller com
petitors, In violation of the spirit of
our Interstate commerce legislation.
Lot us find out the facts fully, nnd then
let us act on these facts by legislative
or executive action.
Our oponents, because the body Is
diseased, threaten to use the knife be
fore knowing where the disease is. My
plea is for the diagnosis first, and then
for a free use of the knife, but an In
telligent nnd not a blind use.
A surgeon who advocates a remedy
not to euro a disease, but to secure a
patient, would be barred from associ
ating with every reputable member of
the medical profession. Ho It should
be with the politician who treats an
economic evil as material out of which
to make political capital, wholly re
gardless of the fact that by the course
thev advocate they will bring disaster
to the body politic. Yet this Is exactly
what our opponents are doing. They
propose to cure the evil of trusts !.v
plunging the entire body of the people,
and especially the wage-earners, Into
a condition far worse than that from
which six years ago they escaped. W'o
propose to find out Just where the evil
lies, and thun to cut It out (Irmly, but
without Injury to what Is sound.
So, again, when they come to deat
with expansion, our opponents Juggle
words. They state Insincerely what
they know Is not true, and strive to
bring shame and dishonor on the coun
try for their own political advantage.
They say they are against Imperialism.
So are we. Not an American In the
land favors Imperialism, and they know
this. They profess to fear the evils of
a great standing army and a grand
navy. They know that no one proposes
for a moment to make the army anil
navy larger relatively to our needs of
the moment than they have been to our
needs of the past. We are not Imperi
alists, we are expansionists, and that
we huvo got to be whether we wish to
or not. The work of expansion Is go
ing on nil about us before our eyes.
Every miner who stakes out a claim
on the Yukon, every new setler who
takes up unoccupied land among the
foothills of the ltocky mountains. Is a
unit in the great work of expansion.
The president has acted as he was
bound by his oath of office to net. To
have followed the advice of the men
who wished him to bow down to in
surgent savagery would have been
treason to the nation. Ho would have
been subject to Impeachment had he
failed In his duty, had he failed to
employ every adequate means to re
duce Aguinnldo, Just as his predecess
ors employed every adequate means to
reduce Oeronlmo and Sitting Bull. And,
by the way, when our opponents erect
their Pantheon of saints and heroes, I
earnestly recommend them to put be
side tho bust of Agulnaldo the bust of
Sitting Bull. One Is Just as much en
titled to recognition ns the other, nnd
the men who now give aid and com
fort by speeches and platforms to the
one stand not so very much above those
men who at one time sold cartridges to
the other.
No; this nation must be true to Its
mighty destiny. This generation must
not tlinrh from Its allotted task and
must show Itself worthy of the mighty
men who In the great Civil war saved
the I'nlon, so that now the sons of the
men who wore the blue and of those
who wore the gray shall stand shoulder
to shoulder under the glorious banner,
which from henceforth wherever "it
floats marks a stride In ndvance to
ward the reign of peace, progress, Jus
tice and orderly liberty throughout the
world.

POSSIBLE LABOR CANDIDATE.
Union Men Talk of Having a Nom
inee of Their Own.
Talk of an Independent candidate
for commissioner was quite prevalent
yesterday. The story going is to the
effect that the labor unionists look
upon the coming election ns a rare op
portunity for displaying their strength
and are determined upon naming and
electing a man of their own.
C. T. Boland, the South Side con
tractor, Is the man, nnd the commls
slonershlp the office they have picked
upon. Mr. Boland's selection Is due to
his friendliness to the union men he
being the first contractor to accede to
the union carpenters' scale. His per
sonal qualifications and the fact that
he Is not very prominently Identified
with politics made him all the more lit,
In the eyes of the labor men. The
union men claim to have a strength
of 20,000 in Lackawanna eountv.
The only development of the past
two days on the Democratic side was
the entrance of P. J. Hlckey Into the
fight for commissioner.
ON THE GRIDIRON.
The School of the Lackawanna foot
hall team defeated Keystone Academy
at Factoryvllle on Saturday by a score
of l(M'. Walter and Brown nmdo the

AOAINST HAZING.
Order Issued by Commander Hutch
ings. Annapolis, Mil.. Sept. 21. The follow
ing order has been Issued by Cnn
mander C. T. Hutehlns, commandant
of cadets at the naval academy:
"I'ntll further orders cadets of the
fourth class shall not receive visits
from the upperelassmen without permis
sion from the officer In charge, nor
shall they visit rooms of the upper
classmen In their quarters without per
mission." It Is understood that the upper class
men havo tuken part In "running" or
"haslng" the fourth classmen, who, ac
cording; to custom, receive orders from
them. A fourth class man would thus
obey an order to appear In the room
of nn upper classman, although as
sured In advance that he entered tho
room for the purpose of being hazed.
The order Is Intended to over-rule this
unwritten custom nnd both hazer and
hazed will violate the law If tho cus
tomary obedience Is given, or If the
under classman nccepts an "Invitation"
without permission.
