Straus, Sec retary of Commerce and Labor, was the principal speaker at a dinner given at the American House tonight by Boston business men, who have formed an asso ciation for general commercial and civil welfare. Mr. Straus took these words of Gover- TOWARD SAN FRANCISCO. nor Guild's Lincoln Day proclamation as a sort of text. "Equal rights were won by ihe generations tha lm imna KornrA us; equal opportunities are to be our gift to posterity." He pointed out that the same kind of morals umtoi-ifo ti K..a;nn conditions, and that laws should be ad justed to preserve corporate industrial and individual rights anjl to curb wrongs. He outlined the work nf th v-oii Council of Commerce, paying tribute to commerce as a civilizing agent and show ing hOW it is run to thA rnnai-,tlnn capital and labor. The rights of indi viduals, ne said, must be preserved, and any. nation tnat neglects them is prepar ing the way for it3 downfall. He. said: Living In Commercial Era. We are living in a commercial era the happiest that has ever dawned upon free nations an era that does not depend upon force of arms, but upon markets: an era which makes for peace and pTosperitv amons nationn. That nation Is the best customer which is freest, because freedom works prosperity,- Industry, and wealth. So true is mis tnat tne measure of a nation's commerce Is directly Influenced by the measure of a nation's freedom. In conclusion Mr. Straus paid a high tribute to President Roosevelt. Xeed of the "Big Stick." A community cannot remain muntcipal'y corrupt and commercially honest. The civic weal and commercial honesty will go up or go down together. There never was more urgent need for right thinking and right acting In corporate and in political affairs than now for a power that makes for righteousness in our every-day a ft airs. from labor toward caoltal no less than from capital toward labor; the power of the "big stick" Is needed because there aro big abuses to be corrected and big law breakers to be elicck-d. Let us thank God that there sits in the White House a man who possesses a mind enriched with an historian's knowledge of the past united with a statesman's forecast of the future who has the moral courage of a Lincoln to fearlessly uphold a standard of right doing, and to redress the justified grievances of the masses, and if those grievances are not redressed in a spirit of justice, the demons of resentment and revenge will become their allies.
