Tli.it It ilu' question I ntn boIiik to try
to answer, In order. If I may, to Inter

It DIMM much mora than the mere

nation Is using that party for a large

It seeks to nae It to Interpret a change

Prodigal us well ua udinlriihly ettlcient
VtV have been proud of our Industrial
CtUevemesta, but we have not hith
erto Mopped thoughtfully enough to
count the human coat, the coat of Urea
nutted out, of energies overtaxed and
broken, the fearful phyeical and spir
itual os( to the men and women aud
children upon whom the dead weight
ud burden of it all has fallen pitiless
ly Hie .veins through. The groana aud
a-01') of It all had uot jet reached
our ears, the solemn, moving under
tone or our life, coming up out of the
mines and factorlea and out of erery
nonie whera the struggle bad Ita inti
mate and famlllnr seat. With the
"real uoveruuieiit went many deep ee
crei thlnga which we too loute delayed
to look into aud acruUntae with can
did, fearless eyes The great goveru
tnent we loved baa too ofteu been
nude use of for private aud selfish
PQrpoasa, mid thoae who used it bud
forgotten the people.
Duty of Americana Outlined.
At last a vision baa been vouchsafed
u of our lire aa a whole. We aee the
bad with the good, the debased and
iecadent with the aouud and vital.
"Uh thia vislou we approach new af
n'r Our duty la to cleanse, to re
couider, to restore, to correct the erU
without impalriug the good, to purify
,ljd tiuiuuuiae everv urocess of OH
common life without weakening or
sentimentalizing it. Tliere haa been
something crude and henrtleaa and un
feeling In our hiiMe to succeed nnd be
great Our thought hna been, "l,et er
ery man look out for himself; i,.t er
ery generation look out for Itself."
while we r .tired giant machinery which
made It Impossible thnt any but those
who atood nt the levera of control
should have n chance to look out for
themselves We had not forgotten our
morula We remembered well enough
that we bad set up a policy which waa
meant to aerve the humhleat aa well aa
the most imwerful. with an eye alngle
to the stiuidords of Juatlce and fair
piny, and remembered It with pride.
But we were rery heedleaa anil ta a
hurry to be great.
We have come now to the solier sec
ond thought. The scales of heedless
ness have fallen from our eyea. We
have made up our minds to aiptare ev
ery process of our national life ngnlu
with the standards we so proudly aet
up nt tho iH'glnnlng and have alwnya
carried nt our hearts. Our work Is a
work of restoration.
Thinge to Be Aoeompliohed.
We have Itemized with aome degree
of particularity the things that ought
to be altered, nnd here ate some of the
chief Items: A tariff which uts ua off
from our proper part In the, commerce)
of the world, vlolntea the Ji.t princi
ples of taxation and makes the i;o..rn
iiient a facile Instrument In UN) hands
of private Interests; a banking nnd cur
rcney system baaed iikiii the ne.esslty
of the government to sell Us bonds fifty
yenrs ngo aud perfectly adapted to con
centrating cash and restricting credits;
an Industrial eyatetn which, take It on
all Ita sldea. flnnnclal aa well na ad
ministrative, hoi. is capital lit leadlug
strings, restricts the liberties aud lim
its the opportunities of labor nnd ex
ploits without renewing or conserving
the natural reaourcee of the country; a
body of agricultural activities never
yet given the efficiency of great busi
ness undertakings or aerred aa It
abould be through the Inatrumentallty
of edence taken directly to tbt farm
or afforded the facilities of credit beat
eul ted to Its practical needa; water
courses nndeveloped, waste places un
reclaimed, forests unteuded. fast dis
appearing without plan or proaptet of
renewal, unregarded waste neaps st
erery mine. We bars studied aa per
baps no other nation baa the moat ef
fective menus of production, but we
bars not atudled coat or economy ae
we should either aa organlaera of In
dustry i:b statesmen or aa Individuals
Sooiety'e Duty to Itself.
Nor have we atudled and perfected
the menus by which government may
be put at the service of humanity In
anfcKUnrdlug the health of the nati.m.
the health of Its men and ita wouieu
and Its children, aa well as their rlghta
lu the struggle Tor existence 1 his la
lio sentimental duty. The Mm basis
of government Is Justice, uot pity.
These are matters of justice. Tliere can
la no equality or opportunity, the first
essential of Justice In the body politic.
If men and women aud chlldreu be
not shielded lu their Uvea, their very
vitality, from the cousequeuces of great
Industrial aud social processes which
they cannot alter, control or elugly
cope with. Society must see to It that
It does uot Itself crush or weaken or
damage Its owu constituent parte. The
Unit duty of law la to keep aouud the
society It servea. Hanltnry laws, pure
food laws aud laws determining con
ditions of labor which Individuate are
powerless to determine for themselves
are Intimate purta of the very busi
ness of Juatlce aud legal efficiency.
These are some of the thlnga we
ought to do and not leave the others
undone, the old fashioned never to be
neglected. I'uudaiueiitul aafeguurdlug
of property aud of individual right.
This Is the high enterprise of the uew
day: To lift everything that concerns
our life aa a nation to the light that
shines from the hearth fire of every
man's couacleuce aud vision of. the
right It la Inconceivable we abould do
thia aa partisans; It la Inconceivable we
should do It In Ignorance of the facts
aa they are or in blind haste. We shall
restore, not destroy. We shall deal
with our economic system as It la aud
aa it may be modified, uot aa It might
be if we bad a clean sheet of paper
to w.iie upon, aud step by step we
aball make It what it abould be In the
spirit of those who question their
own wisdom and seek counsel and
knowledge, not shallow self aatiafac
tlou or the excltemeut of excursions
whither they cannot tell. Justice, and
only Juatlce. aball always be our motto.
Task Not Merely One of Politics.
Aud yet It will be no cool process of
mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred stirred by a solemn pas
elou, stirred by the kuowledge of
wrong, of ldesla lost, of goverumeut
too often debauched aud made an In
strument of evil. The feelings with
which we fuce thia new age of right
and opportunity aweep across our
heartstrings like aome air out of God's
own presence, where Juatlce aud mercy
ere reconciled and the Judge and the
brother are one. We know our task to
be uo mere task of politics, but a task
which shall search us through and
inrongn. wiieioei e oc nine to under
stand our time nnd the need of onr
people, whether we be Indeed tbelr
nibasfSM nnd Interpreters, whether
we have the pure heart to comprehend
naiKthe rectlfled will to choose onr
high course of action.
This la not a day of trlnmph: ft Is
a day of dedication. Here muster not
the forces of party, bnt the forces of
hnmnnlty. Men's hearts wait upon na:
men's lire hang In the l.nlance: pien's
hopes call upon ua to say wht we
will do Who Hhnii lire up to the great
trust? Who ilnreu fall (.. 1 I aals.
mon all honest men, all patriotic, ei)!
rorwarn looking men. to my aide. Ood
helping me. I will not fall them if they
will but counsel and sustain me.

j PUNS MADE FOR
MUCH IMPROVEMENT
Commercial Club to Begin
Advertising Campaign
BUILDING EOR PUBLIC LIBRARY
Spring weather has been with na
this weekend It naturally caused the.
people to formulate plaua for the sea
son. It la generally looked ou as
quiet, from a business standpoint,
throughout theoouutry, but our people
feel that It la only temporary and
that oomlltlouB will soon tome a re
sumption inactivities as of yore.
The (omnierlclsl club is planning
on a good yenr of advertising nnd
progress. Their plans inclnde the
inauguration of n ealea day for the
benefit of tbe farmers But the main
Interest is centered in getting tbe
people started In diversified farming
an that when the price of one com
modity la low, they will have others
to depend on. In case tbay had cattle
now they would be strjetly i.i It aud
It la alwaya tho same, aome of the
farm products ere always In demand
at good prices. Tbe people are show
ing interest and be opening of the
creamery here In a few daya will add
to tblsand stimulate the movement
until many will be getting tbe benefit.
Another matter of vital Interest to
the olnli la the building of a borne tor
their meetinga and tbla will be at-oom
pushed lo tbs olty ball whloh Is
planned to giro them apace.
Tbs passing of tbe ordinance, call
ing for au elootlon to vols bonds for
tbs city hall brings tbla matter op
to tbs people to decide whether tbear
wish tbs olty, Comjnei-olal club, flre
assa and. others to- have a home that
will make them feel that they hare
something to work for, or be com
pelled to go along renting aud giving
tbe world to understand that it la not
well for municipal itles to own any
thing and naturally thia will be ac
cepted by Individuals as equally good
policy for tbem.
Tbe building of a borne for tbe put.
lio library baa oome to a point wbere
It la safe to enuouuoe that work will
be started nt ones and before full
Ontario will be able to boaat of the
best library and building lu thia sec
tion. The ground haa beeu purchased
and the Carnegie people have agreed
to furnish the uioiiry for the construc
tion. Plans are being submitted.
There are at leust two new busiueas
blocks under cousldeiation, but the
men do not care to be quuted at this
time aa their plaua are uot definite.
The drainage of the water from the
low lands east id t he railroad waa pro
vided for at the oounoil meeting Wed
nesday evening and it will be attended
to at once There ia a natural drain
and this will be Improved aud deep
ened to accommodate all the surluco
water.
For tbe weet of the city large Im
provements are bring planned Klrat
comes the nutlet for the drainage,
bonds for which will be voted soon.
The olty will then be lu shape to
take up the draiuage and sewerage
ayatem for the west of tbe city aud
the necessary work for the organi.atlou
of the dlatriot is la-lug accomplished
so that the unsightly ponds will soon
lisapHar.
Petitions were also presented to
tbe city council from the residents of
the adjoining additious, aaklug to be
takeu into the city, uud cuing mauy
of their grievances. It appeal that
they have no way of regulating cattle,
borsea aud chickens running at laige
uud their grounds and crops are fre
quently iuvaded aud rulued. They
have no city water, draiuage, lighting,
police protection, fire protection,
sidewalks, or tbe inaur other beuefits
of the citr. still their taxes are as
high as though they hud. The county
court asaesees them four mills fur rOaal
purposes aud takes the money aud ex
pends it on roads away Irom tbem
leaving tbem without sidewalks aud
street Improvements. Tbe city tux of
five mills will give tbem all the olty
beuefits uud tbeu their road tax would
be expended ou tbelr streets and side
walks so that they have everything
