Governor Hughes Reiterates
His Policy of Upholding
Nation's Integrity.
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."
