They represent the an-thisis of the prevalent selfishness, the altruistic sentiment, that for which Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed and every other grecat relig-ious and political leader contended, the one correction of the woes of man. This is Rooseveltism as it is Christianity, ll is the erv of humanity for an even chance and a square deal, a clear field and no fa-r.

It is a party of rights and of justice, of conscience. In a word, of the Golden Rule. Because he stands for fair play, for an even chance to all who want to use it for their own and for their countrys good, for a broad Americanism that (ares nothing for a man's color, crew or the wherefrom of the citizen, so that now he is here, be he an American in heart and source, an American Unit reaches down to the lowes and attempts to elevate him. Yet neither of these words suggests the title that leads to success. The catchy name that eeryhody comprehends on the instant ami which appeals to the heart so that it rushes like a torrent to success.

Good politics lies behind the designation of the American party and it is not easy to supply a belter. So take it all in all nothing has yet been suggested that so graphically expresses the wish of all the people as Roosevelts own square 'deal. So, my friends, after Mr. Roosevelt has completed his tour' and the echo comes back from the four points of the Hnited States, you will see that he not only can come back, hut the people in the land iii one loud voice of approval will proclaim him as their leader and the greatest one of Ihe age.

Imn.soH and establish his place more securely Hum ever in the esteem of the people. Roose-vlt stands today the worlds first exponent ot lie demand for equality of rights. "ill say right here that know what you debaters are thinking about, but lay aside all nice prejudice and compare this man with any other American of this day and you will tind him head and shoulders above all the rest of them. Xo man believes he gets all that is due him. The law may declare all men free and equal, but it does not make either assertion true.

Wealth and power will ever exert tliir intiuenee and the strongest will always rub; their fellows. The ideals our fathers loved were only possible when they received their freedom and the opportunities were opened to them. The laws protection to human beings, their personal responsibilities alone rendered life possible. The cultivation of individual probity, of self respect and self reliance made the pioneer what In was, but only the pioneer environment rendered this possible. As population grows denser, the over-lapping of mens rights and desires renders legal regulation essential, for natural rectitude and open-handed generosity are not thriving plaids where eerv meal has a number of hungry stomachs 'awaiting them.

These changed conditions necessarily work a change in the need and in their social necessities. In advocating a stronger central government, one that could hold in check the rapacity of the powerful. Mr. Roosevelt is following history and the development of the social system. He is vindicating the foresight of Hamilton, and his nationalism is but another name for the letters-Federalism.

As ideals better suited his time, so do those of Hamiltons better comport with those that have developed since then. Recognizing these truths, there is no room for argument as to the desirability of the change. It is one that is forced upon us by the pressure of population and the greed of predatory wealth as well as by the similar traits developing in organized labor. All these indicate the decay of public spirit and the growth of selfishness. They have always presaged the thrusting of power upon an individual One man arises capable of wielding the power necessary to curb the greedy and protect the masses.

He cannot help himself. Like Caesar or Cromwell, he may refuse the royal title, but nevertheless he must wield the roal powers. He as an exponent of the principle that endears him to the masses under his sway there is peace for HI a generation, and then Tiberius rules in his stead. Or a Solomon may follow David, but Ihen come Rehoboam. What would France have seen had the Duke of Reiehstadt succeeded Napoleon What will Mexico endure when Diaz lets go? Now as to Mr.

Roosevelt. The old party names have lost their meaning and their hold upon fhe people. Graft is as repulsive under the name of Democracy as under that of Republicanism. The peoples title has become a joke. There is the peoples Gas, Light Coke Company.

Nationalist is meaningless unless associated with the fundamental conception of the new movement. The old world has rung changes on radical, progressive, opportunist, and so down the line. Liberty, fraternity and equality is but an ancient memory of a frolic that ended We need an engineer on the board why not Waltex J. Arnold. H.
