MAKES SPEECH AT CHICAGO Says Country Should Have Well Defined, Potent Policy and En force It President WTicclcr Crges Xational Tnirersity. CHICAGO, Feb. 22 Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, and Benjamin Ide TVheeler, president of the Uni versity of California, were the prin cipal speakers at the series of meet ings held today under the allspices of the Union Leagrue Club in commemor ation of Washington's birthday. Gov ernor Hughes delivered the cnif speech at a bigr mass meeting: in the Auditorium in the morning and Presi dent "Wheeler was featured at an after noon meeting: in Orchestra Hall. Both spoke at a banquet in the club house this evening, the other men on the programme being members of the club. The three functions were the leading celebrations of the holiday In Chicago. Various otheT organizations also had set programmes varying from social to political. In most of them, however, the historical aspects of the day were made the basis of the celebrations. The Auditdrium was filled to over flowing in the morning and Mr. Hughes was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. He spoke as follows: TVe venerate Washington because in a. su premo test he vindicated manhood. The standards of liberty were unsullied In hl hands. We must all take to heart the les son of his life If we are to realize American Ideals. It is the lesson of the supremacy of duty. It is the lesson of honor of fidel ity to trust. It must be enforced In execu tive and legislative chambers, in courts of justice. In newspaper offices, in banks, in trust and Insurance companies. In profes sional and commercial life, in the marts of trade, in the counting-room and in the shop, by employer and employe. There is no legislative road to character. Tf the spirit of Washington could permeate our public and private life we should neither seek uor need governmental panacea, and it is only in so far as in fact that spirit im bues administration that the government of a free people can perforin its functions. The country is morally sound. Its stand ards of business never were higher. Thi business men of the country are for the most part honest men. representing fairly the moral standards of the people and never more than today have they, taken as a whole, so earnestly desired that abuses shall be stopped, that an end shall be put to corrupt dealings and unfair practices, that gambling shall not parade In business livery and that every encouragement be given commerce and Industry for develop ment and extension along the lines of hon orable rivalry and with justice to stock holders, to employes and to the people at large. Pessimists and cynics cannot develop this country. We must, have confidence In the stability of our institutions, in the sanity of the teotle and In their realization uf what underlies our presperity. We have only begun to develop the com merce of this country. This Is no time for discouragement or halting, but for appreci ation of American opportunities and for that intelligent and united effort by which alone we tan avail of it and deserve the bless ings of posterity. Socialism ot ielred. . To support this confidence and to gsin these ends we must have a settled govcrn nental policy. And It must be a right policy. It mutt be a policy consistent with the genius of our institutions. The people of this country do not desire Socialism, oven as sii experiment. Thy do not propose to pass through a dreaded "quarter of an hour" of revolutionary changes to satlvf themselves of those imperfections of human nature of which they are already well appraised, and which' make inisossible the constitu tion of society in accordance with the So cialist theory. We must make progress and it must .be steady and consistent, con serving what is good and safeguarding the opportunities for honest effort. Otherwise gains will be offset by unnecessary losses and expert accountants may search in vain for a credit, balance. We may accomplish needed reforms by making our institutions work as they -were intended to work, and by effecting, in the light of the benefits thus secured, such changes as experience may commend and deliberate Judgment may approve. It must be a policy consistent with our constitutional limitations and distribution of benefit, by leaking our institutions work in the way in which they were intended to work. I mean that we should secure the maximum of efficiency in both etato and Federal administration to the end that every matter of National concern and every mat ter of local concern shall receive by the ap propriate exercise of the powers of each jurisdiction that full consideration and nec essary remedial action by which wrongs, botli National and local, may be completely re dressed. Special Interests Must Keep Off. Special interests must keep their hands off the government in city, stato and Nation. The common welfare mufit be the supreme law. The lobbies which ' have been main tained in legislative ball, the efforts to per vert administration by securing the service for particular interests of those who nose as the servants of the people, the corruption of the sole means by which the people can express their will, have been the effective causes of distrust of government and furnish the most serious pretext for assaults upon our institutions. But while we Insist upon pure administration and the unselfish fidelity of public' officers, we must visit deserved contempt upon those who profit by indis criminate detraction of men in public lite. If the people would be served faithfully, they must show their esteem of faithful service. Wherever there are public rights in force. In lands, in minds. In water power, these must be safeguarded and protected from spoliation. Wherever the putmc grants a privilege, it must be upon consideration of the common benefit and under conditions which insure to the public a proper return for the grant. We must guard our ranges, our coal deposits, our public lands, our forest treas ures by suitable restrictions. Xo eeifieh in terest must be permitted to seize with covet ous hands the public domain. Effective Railroad Policy Needed. It must also be taken to be a settled Dollcv that there shall be complete, effective and just supervision of our railroads. I do nbt believe In arbitrary action with regard to these important concerns, either by Congress or by State Legislatures or by commissions. The railroads are not the enemies, but the servants of the people. To secure Drooer service, they muet be subjet to regulation. It must be taken as firmly established that the evils of rebating and of unjust discrimi nation will not be tolerated and that ade quate and Impartial sen-ice upon reasonable terms must be insisted upon. There must be machinery through which public obliga tions as defined by law may be enforced. This, can best be obtained through an admin istrative board such as the Interstato Com merce Commission. The question of rates must determined after full consideration of all pertinent facts, to the end that th requirements of impartiality and reasonable ness may be compiled with, while at the same time fair returns to the owners may be assured. Nothing should be lacking in ad ministrative powers for the attainment of these objects. It is also essential that there should be ef ficient supervision of the issue of securities to avoid the evils of inflation and of over capitalization. We wish to see American industry ex pand. We desire every advantage of eco nomic organization, every just opportunity for the display of talent and Inventive skill, every possible improvement In the processes of manufacture, everything, in short, which enhances the opportunity of labor and Its fruitful employment at good wages and which develops and encourages trade. And at the same time we desire to put an end to unfair practices. unjustifiable prefer ences and oppressive proceedings by whi'-'n. aside from economic advantages or superior skill in industry, rivals are barred from equal opportunities and thrust out of the way or destroyed. Attack Abuses IJireetly. Ijiws. state and Federal, should he definite as possible; should apply with be coming precision to the practices sought to be reached. It does not make very great difference whether those engaged in im proper enterprises keep its proceeds in one pocket or In three, or whether tholr trans actions are detailed in one or more sets of accounts. Tho way to get rid of abuses Is to attack them directly. And I believe the most efficacious means is definition and prescription, and adequate punishment of offenders. The punishment is most salu tary when visited upon the guilty Indi viduals. Few men can be hired to go Jail, and if offenses which public sentiment recognizes to be of a grave character are punished by Imprisonment, the law Is more likely to be obeyed anil the punishment to have its intomied effect. In our legislation and administration we must favor no class, but protect the inter ests of all our citizens. while the Nation may devote lis powers to this end so far as matters are within Federal control, our state governments and local communities must not miss their great opportunities. In the use of all these powers, according to their constitutional distribution, for the de-, velopment of our resources, the encourage ment of agriculture, the improvement of the conditions of labor and the safeguard ing of the freedom of commerce, wo shall progress toward the attainment of I lie aims of liberty. T,et us realize our mutual de pendence and rejoice with Washington, not in power, but in service: not In distinction, but In duty well performed: not in what we have gained.' but in what we have given. President AVlicclcr's Speech. President AV'heelcr spoke on the sub ject. "The University iu the Republic." "Washington." lie said, "repeatedly and earnestly recommended the found ation at the Federal city of a National University, and in his will attempted to mako provision for the nucleus; of an endowment for it. As yet, nothing has been done. The actual foundation of the university is already at Wash ington. The Congressional Library Is really the library of the National Uni versity. "Such a university, the srreaker de clared, would be free in that larger sense that constitutes the true merit and service of tho university and it would still be sufficiently close to the people to work in harmony with them for mutual aid and betterment." LABOR ELEMENT WINS FIGHT California Democratic League De clares for Limit to Injunctions. SAX KHAN-CISCO. Feb. 22. The law regulating the use of injunction, as pro posed by tho American Federation of Labor, and the question of whether or not its indorsement should tie incorpor ated in the resolutions to be adopted, caused a long light on tho iloor at tho convention today of the State LeSugue of Iroquois Clubs.
