uertinent in this connection, which I
cannot deny myself the privilege of
Baying. Any man who revives the is-

sue of sectionalism in this country is
iinworthv of the -confidence of the Na
tion. He ehowa himself a provincial,
he shows that he himself does not

that those who did not seek the spe
cial interests of that province are to
him sectional, while he alone is Na

feeling.
"And that is my interest in good
roads, for, my fellow citizens, my pres

elements, all the component parts, all
the necessary characters and indus
tries and material resources of a great
Naation. And we suddenly find that
we are face to face with the problem
of assembling these elements in the
sense in which the mechanic assembles
the parts of a machine. And havin
assembled those elements, we have to
put them together for the oreation of
one unconquerable force, to which the
world shall hereafter look-for most of
its forward impulse, for most of" its
ideal principles, for most of its ex
ample in the practice of liberty. And
therefore, the thing that I am more in
terested in than anything else in these
days is the forces that make for draw
ing America together Into a great
spiritual unit.
Unity of Purpose Desired.
"Now, my fellow-citizens,
had time and opportunity
we have 1
until the I
present to do pretty much what we I
wantea in America ana to aa aillerent
things in different parts of America,
i" just so soon as mis great European I
-war is over. America nas got to stand
for one thing and only one thing in
the world and she must be ready with I
united force. We can't play with the
elements of our life any more.
"America came into existence, my I
ieuow-citizens, not in oraer to snow I
xne wona the most notable example it
.had ever had of the accumulation and
use of material wealth, hvt in order to
snow me way 10 mankind in every part
of the world to Justice and freedom and I
liDerty. bo the words I want you to I
carry in your mind in connection with I
this good roads cause are these: First,
nationalization, getting all the fibres
of this great vital people' united in a
single organism:, second, mobilization,
getting them so related tw each other, I
to co-ordinated, so organized, so united I
that when they move they move as a I
single great irresistible - conauerinir I
force. I
"And the third word that I want vou I
xo consider is the word that I suppose I
arioras me Key to doing these things. I
That word is the word co-operation. 1 1
wish that each one of us could fix in I
nts mind the difference between the I
way we have been trying to do things I
and the way we ought to do things. I
vv e nave been trying to do things by I
combination, by setting off one power-1
ful group against another, by setting I
up groups in particular industries or I
bpneres or our life winch try to -ex-
i lude all other groups by the power or I
by the method of their destroying com-
petition. -mat is not the way to build
a nation together. That is the way to
build it up into warring elements.
Co-Operatlon Held Essential.
"Instead of exclusive combinations, I
want to see universal co-operation.
There are good sigis in the air. Have
you not noticed how almost every great
industry, every great profession, every
year holds a congress of some sort.
Why, even the advertising men, who
we thought were the sharpest competi
tors in America, have a National asso
ciation in which they co-operate. For
what purpose? For the purpose of get
ting ahead of each other? No. For
the purpose of guiding one another
and setting up standards, and the chief
sianaara iney nave aaoptea is me
vuia iruiu. Ann so in proiession atter
profession men are getting together by
way of co-operation instead of by way
of mutual destruction. I hold this to

League for Peace Proposed.
"I want to leave a very solemn
thought in your minds. America is
now about to pinprinncA tAr ra-ltirth
We nave been making - America in
pieces for the sake of the pieces. Now
we have got to construct her entire,
for the sake of the whole and for ti
sake of the world because, ladles and
gentlemen, there is a tusk iLhe.ri fnr
us for which we must be very soberly
prepared. I have said, and shall say
again, that when the great present war
is over it will be the duty of America
to join with the other nations of the
world in some kind of league for the
maintenance of peace. Now, America
was not a party to this war. and the
only terms upon which we will be ad
mltted to me league, almost all the
(other powerful members of which were
engaged in the war and have made in-
finite sacrifices when we apparently
maae none, are the only terms which
we desire, namely, that America shall
not stand for national aggression, but
shall stand for the Just conceotiona
and bases of peace, for the competitions

rivalry 01 iiDerty.
Are we ready always to be the
friends of Justice, of fairness, of lib-
erty, or peace and of those accommo
dations which rest upon Justice and
peace? In these two trying years that
nave just gone by we have forborne,
we nave not allowed provocation to
disturb our Judgments, we have seen to
it that America kept her poise when all
the rest of the world seemed to have
lost its poise. Only upon the terms of
retaining that poise and using the
I splendid force which always cornea
I with poise can we hope to play the
beneficent part in the history of the
world or which I Tiave Just now lntl
mated. So, my fellow countrymen,
build upon these new roads, in the
construction of which the Federal Gov
eminent is now to play so . large a
part, the spirit of nationality, the spirit
I co-operation, the spirit of liberty
the power which only a free people
knows how to exercise.
National Training Advised.

I sajj in part
"It ' is clearly the legitimate func

"In proportion as this country grows

our production per acre and we ought

rapidly shipped and distributed in mod
erately small quantities."
The President then spoke of the Fed
eral reserve act, of the rural credits
act, the warehouse act and the grain
standards act, saying all have been of
Immense benefit to the farmers.
"Don't you think that this Is an In
teresting story? That is the story I
came to tell you, and I am going to say
in your private ear that I am person
ally proud to tell it, because I was per
sonally privileged to have a great deal
to do" with it. Do not misunderstand
me. I am not claiming the credit for
this; I am simply wanting to tell you
how proud I am to have had a part
In it.
"I do not apparently do much mora
than sign bills, but I always know
what is in them before I sign them,
and it will be all the rest of my life a
matter of pride that I was privileged
to play a part in serving the farmers
to be better farmers and to be real
business men. They were at a fatal
disadvantage in the field of credit;
they were at a fatal disadvantage in
the field of distribution of their prod
ucts; they were at a disadvantage as
compared with -farmers in other conn
tries in respect to the scientific meth
ods of farming. Now most of these
things have been corrected. At any
rate we have made the beginning, and
it only depends upon our energy and
intelligence how much we make of it.
For my part I look forward to an
unprecedented Increase in the efficiency
of American farming and an unprece
dented increase in the efficiency and
happiness of the American farmer.
Politics for Talk Disparaged. .
A mam is happy, I take It, in pro
portion as he accomplishes something.
Some people think they are happy in
proportion as they do nothing. Some
people, as a witty acquaintance of mine
said, devote themselves to expense re
gardless of pleasure. They do not
know what pleasure is. The supreme
human pleasure, it seems to me, is to
do something worth doing the way it
ought to be done.
That is the only reason I am inter.
ested in politics. I do not regard poll-
tics as an opportunity to talk, but as
an opportunity to unite with other men
in accomplishing something. If I did
not, I would talk about something else
because I know a good many subjects
about which you can talk and the av
erage audience will not know whether
you are talking sense or not. But
politics Is the method of organizing
the National life in the way that will
do the Nation the most good, and when
ever it gets off of that conception it
becomes- uninteresting, because it is
futile, and I am not interested in fu
tile things.
But I am interested, my fellow citi
zens, in the politics which is going to
organize this country for unparalleled
efficiency in the years to come. This
country has a role to play in the world
which does not merely consist of feed
ing it. does not merely -consist in fur
nishing it with better manufactured
goods than you can get anywhere else
does sot merely consist in furnishing
it with coal and gold and Iron and all
the other priceless deposits of our won
derful continent; but it consists in sup
plying it with conceptions of Justice
and liberty, which will put breath into
the lungs of every free man. I am In
terested in the farmer because I want
people well enough fed to do the Job to
the queen's taste."
