PUT THIS IN YOUR SCRAPBOOK
On his return from bis hnnt
iog bear in the wilds of Colo
rado, Roosevelt tarried
in Chicago on May 10th daring
which he made a speech at a
banquet given bim by the Iro
quois Club, the leading Demo
cratic Clob Illinois from vhiih
. the following terse but expres
sive sentences are taken.
The Panama Canal is going to
be dag honestly and as cheap'y
as is compatible with efficiency
first.
' I shall strive to appoint and
retain men (to regulate rates)
who will do exactly the same
justice to the railroads as they
would exact from the railroads.
The most dangerous rock in
the course of any republic, is the
rock of class hatred. This
Government is not and never
shall be the government of a
plutocracy. This Government
is not and never shall be the
government of a mob. I be
lieve in corporations. They
are indispensable instruments
of our modern industrialism,
but I believe that they should
be to supervised and regulated
that they should act for the in
terest of the community as a
. whole. So I believe in unions .
I am proud of the fact that I am
an honorary - member of one
union, but I believe that the
union, like the individual, ma it
be kept to a strict accountabil
ity to the power of the law.
I believe in unions, but the
union mast be kept to a strict
accountability to the power of
the law.
If ever the need arises, back
ot the city stands, the state and
back of the state stands the
Nation.
I believe that the Federal
Government must take an in
creasing control over co rpora
tions. I believe that' representatives
of the Nation should lodge in
some executive body the power
to establish a maximum rate;
the power to see that the pro
visions of the law apply in full
to the corporations owning pri
vate cars just as much as to the
railroads themselves.
These sayings deserve a
place in every one's scrap book.
North Yamhill -will sprinkle
- ber main street with crude . pe
troleum this summer, believing
that it will be bettor and at the
same time cheaper than water
Now that President Roosevelt
is back in Washington with the
vivifying influence of Colorado
mountain tone stirring his al
ready active circulation, we
may look for things to happen
with some measure of rapidity.
There are things ' there to be
done, and we are j unified in ar
suining they will be attended 10
without more delay than' may
be necessary for thorough in
vestigation and deliberation. -
