- OPENING REMARKS
Here in this great industrial center
in this city wbioh is a typical sonth
ern city, and tberelore a typical
American eity, it is natural to con
sider certain pnases ot tne msny
tided industrial problem which this
generation has to solve. Iu this
world ol ours it is practioally imposs
ible to get success oi any kind ou
Urge aosle without paying something
(or it. The ex options to tbe role
are too Few to warrant our paying
heed o them, and as a mle it mty be
said that something must bs paid as
an offset for everything .we get and
lor everything we accomplUb. This
is notably true ol our industrial life.
Tba problems which wa of Amerioa
have to Isoe today are very aeriout
but we will do well to remember lisi
alter alt they are Obly part of tbe
price which we have to piy for the
triumphs we have won, lor the high
position to. bioh we have attained.
II wa were a backward and stationary
country we .would not have to face
these problems at all; but 1 think
that mot of us are agreed that to be
backward and stationary woul be al-
toge.her too heavy
tha avoidanoe of tha problems in ques
tion . There art no labor .troobltt
where there Is no work to be Jona by
labor. There are no troubles abont
corporations where tbe poverty of tbe
oommnnity is such that : it is not
worth while to foi m corporations
There is no difficulty in regulating
railroada where the resou.oes of a re
gioo are so few that it does, not pay
to build railroads. There are raaoy
eioellent people who shake their head
over tbe -difficulties that aa a nation
we now have to Uot, but their melan
choly is not warranted save in a very
partial degree, for most of the things ao u thtiMf
