THE PEOPLE AS A WHOLE
The speech of President Roos
evelt before the Union League
Club, of Philadelphia, on the
forty second anniversary of its
organization, contained' much
that will be of interest to the
forces "arraying themselves
against "him in his efforts for
remedial legislation. ; But of all
that he' said and all that he
I said was well said nothing was
of greater importance and
nothing truer than is contained
in the following words:
"Neither this people nor any
other free people will permanent
ly tolerate tbe use of the vast
power conferred by vast wealth,
and especially by wealth in it
corporate form, without lodging
somewhere in the Government
(he still high power of seeing
that this power, in addiiion "to
being used in the interest of the
individual or individuals posesss
ing It, is also Used for and not
against the interest of the people
as a whole.
There is no attack on wealth.
nor any attack ori the legitimate
accumulation of wealth, in that
statement, and is is undoubted
that the President weighed" his
words because of bis position,
because of the occasion and be
cause of ' the ' audience which
comprised not the banqueters
only; but the whole people. It
is a favorite assertion ton the
part of ( the opponents of , the
President that his urgent rec
ommendations for the enactment
of legislation in the- interest of
the whole people are, in effect,
attacks on wealth and especially
on corpdrite Wealth. " But Pres
ident Roosevelt has made plain
his meaning. It was not alto
gethernecessary for the : Presi
dent to explain his position, but;
it was wise.
It is neither wealth in the in-1
aiviauai nor weaitn in corpor
ate form that is sought to be reg
ulated or attacked but "the vast
All La Grande mourns today
for him who was ' always the
