OPPOSES PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE
ON POPULAR GOVERNMENT.
People's Voice Must Prevail
Cheered for Speech In Opening Active
Campaign for Nomination Quotes
Taft as Opposed to the Majority.
Stands Squarely on His Columbus,
Ohio, Address.
The salient passages In Colonel
Roosevelt's forceful campaign speech,
jelivered in Carnegie Hall, New York,
Wednesday evening, is given below:
The great fundamental issue now
before the republican party and be
fore our people can be stated briefly.
It is, are the American people fit to
govern themselves, to rule them
selves, to control themselves?
I believe they are. My opponents
do not. I believe in the right of the
people to rule. I believe that the ma
jority of the plain people in the Unit
ed States will, do, day in and day
out, make fewer mistakes in govern
Ing themselves than any similar class
or body of men, no matter what their
training, will make In trying; to govern
them. I believe again that the Amer
ican people as a whole, are capable of
nelf control and of learning by their
mistakes. Our opponents pay lip loy
alty to this doctrlno, but they show
their real beliefs by the way in which
they champion every device to make
the nominal rule of the people, a sham.
I have scant patience with thlB talk
of the tyranny of the majority. When
ever there is tyranny of the majority
I shall protest against it with all my
heart and soul. But we are today
Buffering from the tyranny of the mi
norities. It is a small minority that
Is grabbing our coal deposits, our
water powers and our harbor fronts.
A small minority is fattening on the
sale of adulterated foods and drugs.
It is a small minority that lies behind
monopolies and trusts. It is a small
minority that stands behind the pres
ent law of master and servant, the
sweatshops and the whole calendar of
social and industrial injustice. It is
a small minority jtliat is today using
our convention system to defeat the
will of a majority of the people in the
choice of delegates to the Chicago
convention.
My opponents chnrge that two
things in my program are wrong be
cause they Intrude into the sanctuary
of the judiciary.
The first is the recall of judges and
the second the review by the people
of judicial decisions on certain excep
tional questions. I have said again
and again that I do not advocate the
recall of judges In all states and In all
communities. The integrity of our
judgeB, from Marshall to -White and
HolmeB and to Cullen and many oth
ers in our state Is a fine pase of
American history. But I say it so
berly democracy has a right to ap
proach the sanctuary of the courts
when a special interest has corruptly
found sanctuary, and this is exactly
what has happened In some of the
states where the recall of the judges
is a living issue. Is it not equally
plain that the question whether a giv
en social policy is for the public good
is not of a judicial nature, but should
be settled by the legislature or in the
final Instance, by the people them
selves? The president of the United States,
Mr. Tuft, devoted most of a recent
speech to criticise some of this prop
osition. He says that "it is utterly
without merit or utility und, instead
of being in the interest of all the peo
ple and of the stability of popular
government, is sowing the seeds of
confusion end tyranny." By this he
of course meant the tyranny of the
majority that is the tyranny of the
American people as a whole.
He also says that my proposal,
(which as he rightly sees it, is merely
a proposal to give the people a real
Instead of only a nominal chance to
construe and amend state legislation
with reasonable rapidity) would make
such amendmont and interpretation
"depend on the foverish, uncertain
and unstable determinations of .suc
cessive voles on different laws by
temporary and changing majorities,"
find that "it lays the axe at the foot
of the trrn, of voU. ordered freedom

birthday next Sunday
ana suDjects" tne guarantees oi me,
liberty and prosperity without remedy,
to the fitful Impulse of a temporary
majority of an electorate."
This criticism is really less a crit
icism of my proposal than a criticism
of all popular government. It Is whol
ly unfounded, unless it is founded on
the belief that the people are funda
irmnfollv iintKii.iwnitw TMo fa fllA
question that I propose to submit to
the people. How can the prevailing
morality or a preponderant opinion
be hotter and more exactly ascer
tained than by a vote of the people?
The people must know better than
the court what their own morality and
their own opinion Is. 1 ask that you
fcore, you and others like you,,you, the
people, be given the chance to state
your own views of justice and public
Morality and not sit meekly by and
fiave your views announced for you
by well meaning adherents of outworn
philosophies who exalt the pedantry
of formulas above the vital needs of
human life.
Mr. Taft'e position is the position
I'aat has been held from the beginning
if our government, although not al
ways so openly held, by a large num
ber of reputable and honorable men
T. ho down at the bottom distrust pop
ular government and when they must
accept it, accept It with reluctance
and hedge around it with every spe
cies of restriction and check and bal
ance so as to make the power of the
people as limited and ineffective as
possible. Mr. Taft fairly defines the
issue when he says that our govern
ment is and should be a government
of all the people by a republican part
of the people. This is an excellent
and moderate description of an olig
archy. It defines our government as
a government for a few of the people
I am not speaking critically nor do
I mean to bo unkind, for I believe that
many honorable and well meaning
men of high character take this view
and have taken it from the time of
the formation of the nation. Essen
tially this- view is that the constitu
tion is a strait jacket to be used for
the control of an unruly patient the
people. Now I hold that this view is
not only false, but mischievous, that
our constitutions are instruments de
signed to secure Justice by securing
the deliberate but effective expression
of the popular will, that the checks
and balances are valuable as far and
only so far as they accomplish that
deliberation and that it is a warped
and unworthy and Improper construc
tion of our form of government to see
In it only a means of thwarting the
popular will and of preventing justice.
Mr. Taft says that "every class"
ehould have a "voice" in the govern
ment. That seems to me a very ser
ious misconception of the American
political situation. The real trouble
with us is that some classes have had
too much voice. One of the most im
portant of all the lessons to be taught
and to be learned Is that a man should
vote not as ft representative of a class,
but merely as a good citizen, whose
prime Interests are the same as those
of all other good citizens.
Taft's "Disbelief in the People."
Mr. Taft again and again in quota
tions I have given and elsewhere in
this speech expresses his disbelief in
the people ,when they vote at the polls.
In one sentence he says that the
proposition gives "powerful effect to
the momentary Impulse of a majority
of an electorate and prepares the way
for the positive exercise of the gross
est tyranny." Elsewhere he speaks
of the "feverish uncertainty" and "un
stable determination of laws" by tem
porary and changing majorities, and
again he says that the system I pro
pose, "would result in suspension or
application of constitutional guaran
tees according to popular whim,"
which would destroy "all possible con
sistency" in constitutional interpreta
tion. I should much like to know
the exact distinction that is to be
made between what Mr. Taft calls
"the fitful impulse of a temporary
majority" when applied to a question
such as that I raise and any other
question. Remember that under my
proposal to review a rule of decision
by popular vote, amending or con
struing to that extent the constitu
tion could certainly take at least two
years from the time of the election
of the legislature which passed the
act. Now, only four months elapse
between the nomination and the elec
tion of a man as president to fill for
four years the moBt Important offiCe
In the land. In one of Mr. Taft's
speeches he Bpeaks of "the voice .of
the people as coming next to the voice
of God." Apparently, then, the de
cision of the people about the presi
dency, after four more years of delib
eration, is to be treated as "next to
the voice of God," but if after two
years of sober thought they decide
that women and children shall be
protected in Industry, or men protect
ed from excessive hours of labor un
der unhygienic conditions, or wage
workers compensated when they lose
life or limb in the service of others,
then their decision forthwith becomes
a "whim" and feverish "and unstable"
and an exercise of the "grossest tyran
ty" and the "laying of the axe at the
foot of the tree of freedom."
That Is the old, old doctrine which
has been acted upon for thousands of
years abroad and which here In Amer
ica has been acted upon sometimes
openly, sometimes secretly, for forty
yours by many men in public and in
private life, and I am sorry to say by
muny juJea, a doctrine which has in
fact tended to create a bulwark for
privileges, a bulwark unjustly protect
ing special interests against the rights
of the people as a whole. This doc
trine Is to me a dreadful doctrine, for
Its effect is. and can only be, to make
the courts the shield of privilege
against popular rights. Naturally, ev
ery upholder end beneflciftry of crook
ed privilege loudly applauds the doc
trine. It Is behind the shield of that
doctrine that erooked clauses creep
into laws that men of wealth control
legislation.
Remember, I am not discussing the
recall of Judgi a although I wish it
distinctly understood that the' recall
is a mere piece of machinery to take
the place of the unworkable impeach
ment which Mr. Taft in effect da;'ends
and tl'.nt If the duys of Mnynard ever
came back aain in the state of New
York 1 should favor it. 1 have no wish
to come to it. but our opponents when
t'.iey object to all efforts to secure real
lustlce from the courts are strengthen
ing the hands of thore who demand
the recall. In a great many states
there Jasjjefj, for ma.ni ysars a real
recall oi j-uo us r?,nrag ..-punn-monts,
promotlous, re-appolntmenis
and re-elections. And this recall was
through the tura of a thumbscrew at
the end of a long distance rod in the
bands, of great interests. I believe
that a just judge would feel far safer
in the hands of the people than in the
hands of those Interests. My remedy
is not the result of a library study of
tonstitutional law, but of actual and
long continued experience In the use
of .governmental, power to redress
Boclal and industrial evils. Again and
sgain earnest workers for snclal Just
Ice hi.ve said to me that the most seri
ous obstacles that they have encoun
tered during the many yean that they
have been trying to Bave American
women and children from destruction
in American industry have been the
courts. That is the judgment of al
most all the social 'workers I kno-r
and of dozens of parieh priests and
clergymen and of every executive and
legislator who has been seriously at
tempting to use the government as an
agency for social and Industrial bet
terment. What is the result of this
system of judicial nullification? It
was accurately stated by the court
of appeals, New York, in the employ
ers' liability case, where It was calmly
aud Judicially declared that the peo
ple under our republican government
are less free to correct the evlls' that
oppress them than are the people cf
t'he monarchies of Europe. To any
man with vision, to any man with
broad and real social sympathies, to
any man who believes with all his
heart in this great democratic re
public of ours, such a condition Is in
tolerable. It is not government by tho
people, but mere sham government In
which the will of the people is con
stantly defeated. It is out of this ex
perience that my remedy ias coma,
and let it be tried in this field.
When as the result of years of edu
cation and debate a majority of the
people have decided upon a remedy
for an evil from which they suffer
and have chosen a legislature, a legis
lature pledged to embody that remedy
in law, and the law has been finally
passed and approved, I regard it as
monstrous that a bench of judges
shall then say to the people: "You
must begin all over again. First,
amend your constitution (which will
take four years) ; second, secure the
passage of a new law (which will take
two years more) ; third, carry that
new law over its weary course of liti
gation, which will take no human be
ing knows how long; fourth, submit
the whole matter over again to the
very same Judges who have rendered
the decision to which you object.
Then, if your patience holds out and
you finally prevail, the will of the ma
jority of the people may have its way."
Such a system is not popular govern
ment, but a mere mockery of popular
government.
The decisions of which we complain
are, as a rule, based upon the con
stitutional provision that no person
shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property withbut due process of law.
The terms "life, liberty and property,"
have been ;ieed in the constitutions
of the English speaking people since
Magna Charta. Until within the last
sixty years they were treated as hav
ing specific meanings "property"
means tangible property; "Liberty"
meant freedom from personal re
straint, or In other words, from im
prisonment in its largest definition.
About 1870 our courts began to attach
to these terms new meaning. Now
"property" has come to mean every
right of value which a person could
enjoy, and "liberty" has been made
to Include the right to make contracts.
As a result, when the state limits the
hours for which women may labor, it
is told by the courts that this law de
prives them of their "liberty," and
when it restricts the manufacture of
tobacco in a tenement it is told that
the law deprives the landlord of his
property. Now, I do not believe that
any people, and especially our free
American people, will long consent
that the term "liberty" shall be de
fined for them by a bench of judges.
Every people has defined that term
for itself in the course of its develop
ment.
The Task is Te Strive For Justice.
Friends, our task as Americans is
to strive for social and industrial Just
ice, achieved through the genuine rule
of the people. This is our end, our
purpose. The methods for achieving
the end are merely expedients to be
finally accepted or rejected according
as actual experience shows that they
work well or ill. But, in our hearts
we must have this lofty purpose, and
we must strive for L in all earnest
ness and sincerity or our work will
come to nothing. In order to succeed
we need leaders of inspired idealism,
leaders to whom are granted great
visions, who dream greatly and strlvo
to make their dreams come true, who
can kindle the people with the fire
from their own burning souls. The
leader, for the time being, whoever
he may be, is but an instrument to be
used until broken and then to be ca:st
aside, and If he is worth his salt ha
will care no more when he is broken
than a soldier cares when he is sent
where his life is forfeited in order
that the victory may be won. In the
long fiiiht for righteousness the watch
word for all of us is spend and be
spent. It is of little mutter whether
any one man falls or succeeds, but
the cause shall not fail, for it is the
cause of mankind. We, here In Amer
ica, hold In our hands the hope of the
world, the fate of the coming years,
and shame and disgrace will be ours
if, in our eyes, the light of high re
solve is dimmed, if we trail in the du-.it
the goldeu hopes of men. If, on this
new continent, we merely build an
other country of great but unjustly
llvided material prosperity, we shall
Aave done nothing, and e shall do as
little if we' merely set the greed of
envy against the grsed of arrogance
and thereby destroy the material well
being of ill of us. To turn this gov
ernment either into government by
plutocracy or government by a mob
would be to repeat on a larger scale
the lamentable failures of a world
that is dead. We stand against all
tyranny, by the few or by the many.
VVe stand for the rule of the many
in the Interest of all of us, for the rule
of the many in a spirit of courage, of
common sense, of high purpose, above
all In a spirit of kindly Justice towatd

President and Manager
During the past winter altogether too
much grain was shipped to market in
the raw jstnte instead of the finished
animal products of the farm. This
movement was due to the high prices
for the grain and relatively low prices
offered for steers, sheep and hogs.
From the standpoint of fertility of the
soil it is an unfortunate situation.
A very interesting trait common to
both dogs and their wild ' cousins,
wolves, Is the disposition which each
shows to put up an unearthly nnd pro
longed howl when a bell Is rung in
their hearing or a whistle given a pro
longed blast, and a further Interesting
fact is that often they will respond In
nearly the same key as that of whistle
or bell,
Thin aud sickly offspring at lambing
or farrowing time are an unfailing
evidence of a scant or unbalanced ra
tion and improper quarters for both
ewe and sow in the weeks prior to
the birth of 'their young. It Is merely
a working out of the law of cause and
effect. The wise breeder will appre
ciate this fact and will make these

"' The building of a really profitable
dairy herd on the farm will result in
the removal of the so called "drudgery"
in connection with cow milking. It is
the miserably small yield per cow and
the eouseijueut small cash return which
cause many a man to object to dairy
ing, lie really does not object to the
work or kind of work, but objects be
cause he feels it does not pay. You do
not hesitute a moment on doing any
honorable job which j'ou kuow will
pay. When improvement in any line is
begun objectionable features begin' lo
remove themselves in proportion to the
advancement made.
On one of the Wisconsin state ex
perimental farms some investi.yntious
have been made as to the relative cose
of storage room in a silo and lu n hay
mow. The cement silo on the farm
costs $2!);! and has a capacity of 100
tons, which makes the storage cost
per ton a tritle less than $3. The mow
in the average barn costs about $10
per ton storage capacity to build. With
two tons und a half of ensilage worth
one ton of good hay it is seen that
there Is a margin in favor' of the silo
as compared w!;h the haymow of $2.50
for each two :J a half tons of sllufee,
or a dollar on each tou of silage.
