A BUSY GOVERNMENT
one ol tne com-1
for more than
An old miu,wliose memory
ruui back into the forties,
has pretty clear ideas of f.xeri.i
mental work from 1840 to now
ays: "The present administra
tion is the busiest one, along all
lines of any. No administra
tion has occupied anything like
; the commanding position in in
ternational attain as uut IU
present one No foreign coma
is so lar from the national capi
tol but the eye of Roosevelt;" is
constantly upon him urging to
eternal vigilaute to look after
; American interest, There are
no sinecure place's in the diplo
matic service or any other.; of
' the U S. Our consuls, in the
' rqpst remote . regions of Asia,
Africa, far out on the isles 1 of
the ocean, as well as in Eurppe
ai the neighboring countries
in North and South America
are jipected to keep a vigilant
eye upon every American and
American interest there and '. be
ever ready to unfurl the stars
and stripes and throw it iver
them, and; in the name of a
nation 83,000,000 etrong demand
that they be treated with justice
and respect, whether the offend
er against American rights be
an , emperor, ' Arab Sheik ! or
African chief, or South Ameri
can president. .
" Iu our home matter the de
mand of the administration , for
"a square deal" and the enforce
ment of law is not regarded as a
euphoneoui phrase . to turn a
period and grace and address;
But when uttered by a president
of Rooeevelts metal it cornea to
every official in the United
States government, whether of
high or low degree, as a coin
maud that must be obeyed with
energy and absolute justice.
Nor does the tireless energy
of the president expend all its
force upon officials, this is only
preliminary to the Grand work
he is eneaeed in, of civine to
every man, woman aud child in
this broad litul a square deal,
and to every Ihw which the
national Conrees has pluped
upon the etnlul' b; ok an liouetit
-and' Im;vutnl enforcement.
Men,wh I r juurs have beeu
accomulalius v.ut fortunes
iaiquiteunly behind the screen
of corporate power, in apparent
' security are astonished to fiud,
they are but citizens Bubjecl to'
indictment, and when found
guilty by a jury of common
country men, are convicted and
punished by imprisonment in
penitentiaries.
The unwearied industry of
the president toes not ' . stop at
giving a marvelous activity to
our diplomatic service and as
tonishing vigor to our counts
but it exteudtto every class andj
voration in the land and every
thing and purpose that tends to
the betterment of the conditions
of the people, and development
