The Sons of Soldiers. n..t mir r.pnnle. the sons of the men of the civil war, the sons of the men who had iron In their mooo, rejoice fn thp nrpfipnt and face the future A resolute of will. Ours is not the creed of the weakling and the coward; ours is the gospel oi hope and of triumphant endeavor. We do not shrink from the struggle before us. There are many problems for us to face at the outset of the ...,iirji, rnntnrv erava problems abroad and still graver at home; out we know that we can solve tnem auu solve them well, provided only that we bring to the solution the qualities of head and heart which were shown by the men who, In the days oi wawj ington, founded this government, and In the daya of Lincoln, preserved it. Not Accidental. No country has ever occupied a i.ri,r- nbnn nf material well-being thnn mirs at the present moment. This well-being is due to no sudden or accidental muses, but to me iuay ui the economic forces in this country ful to men of moderate means-rep- tempt n. bettermen,, J-trays bUnd-, rPRPnt accumulations of capital wnicn ness 10 uie uibiuuc umu ."v ..- -- - liKtta thPls country, evolution I. tt. sure -foR,,ardpreoa.e ,l;c, the v hc There arc more deposits in the sav- against revuiuuuu, ings banks, more owners of farms, mnrp wpll.nalil wncoworkers in this country now than over before In our history. Of course, when the condi tions have favored the growth of what was good they have also lavoreu somewhat the growth of so much that was evil. It is eminently necos- sarv that we should endeavor to cut out this evil, but let us keep a duo sense of proportion; let us not in fix ing our gaze upon the lesser evil ior get the greater good. The evils are real and some of them are menacing, but they aro the outgrowth, not of misery or decadence, hut ot prospnn- tj of the progress ot cor gmauni industrial ilnvplonment. This indus trial development must not be check ed, but side by side with it snoum r such progressive regulation as will diminish the evils. Wo should fail in mir diitv fr wr Hlri not try to rem edy the evils, but we shall succeed if we proceed patiently, with practical common sense as well as resolution, separating the good from the bad and holding on to the former wnne en deavoring to .get rid of the latter. Trusts. In my message to the present con gress at its first session I dis cussed at length the question of the regula tion of those big corporations con monly doing an interstate business, often with some tendency to monop oly, which are popularly known as trusts. The experience of the past year has emphasized, in my opinion, the desirability ot tne steps i men proposed. A fundamental requisite of social efficiency is a' high standard of individual energy and excellence; uiu. this is in no wise Inconsistent with power td act In combination for almB which cannot so well bo achieved by the individual acting alone. A funda mental base of civilization Is the In violability of property; but this is in no wise inconsistent with the right of society to regulate the exercise of the artificial powers which It confers upon the owners oi property, unuer hp nmp nf cornorate franchises, in such a way as to prevent the misuse of these pewers. Corporations, and es pecially coniDinauons oi corpurunuus should be managed under public regu lation. Experience lias shown that under our system of government the necessary supervision can not bo ob tained by state action. It must there fore be achieved by national action. Aim Not to Destroy. nnr nlm Ir not to do away with cor porations; on the contrary, these big aggregations are an inevitanie aevei opment of modern industrialism, and the effort to destroy them would be futile unless accomplished in ways that would work the utmost mischief to the entire body politic. We can do nnhlncr nf tnnrt In thn wav of regu lating and supervising these corpora tions until we nx cieany in our miuu that we are not attacking the corpora linns hut endeavorlnk to do away with any evil In them. We are not hostile to them; we are merely deter minpH that tliev shall be so handled as to subserve the public good. We draw th,e line against miseonouci, nuv wealth.

Evil Can Be Prevented. I believe that monopolies, unjust rtlcrrlmlnattons. whldli orevent or cripple competition, fraudulent over capitalization, and other evils in trust organizations and practices which In juriously effect interstate trade can ne nrevented under the Dower of the con gress to "regulate commerce with for- elgn nations, and among tne several states" through regulations and re quirements operating directly upon such commerce, the instrumentalities thereof, and those engaged therein. I earnestly recommena mis ounjuut to thn nnnsldRration of the congress with a view to the passage of a law reasonauie in its provisions aim ui- fpntlvn In Its nnerations. unon which the questions can be finally adjudicat ed that now raise doubts as to tho necessity of constitutional amend ninnt. if It nrovn imnosslble to ac complish the purposes above set forth by such a law, men, .assuredly, we should not shrink from amending the constitution so as to secure Doyonu peradventure the power sought. Labor and Capital. Mnvt tn Rpcnrn fair treatment alike for labor and for capital, how to hold in check tho unscrupulous man, whether employer or employee, with out weakening individual initiative, without hampering and cramping the industrial development of tne coun try.

This is an era of federation and com bination. Exactly as business men find they must often work through cornoratlons. and as it is a constant tonrlnnnv nf these cornoratlons to grow larger, so It Is often necessary for laboring men to work in federa tions, and these have become Im portant factors of. modern Industrial life. Both kinds of federation, cap! tnllRtln and labor, can do much good. and as a necessary corollary they can both do evil, opposition u eacn kiuii of organization should tako tho form nf nnnnnltlnn to whatever is bad In the conduct of any given corporation or union not of attacks upon corpor- atlnna ou miph nnr nnnn unions (IS -n.h. fnr nmn nf the most far-reach ing beneflcient work for our people has been accompnsnca mrougn own cornoratlons and unions.

Reciprocity With Cuba. t l.nnn soon to submit to tho senate a reciprocity treaty with Cuba.

So much have our peo- plo felt this that In tho Piatt amend mnnt wn definitely took the ground that Cuba must hereafter have closer relations with us thnn with any other power. Thus in a senso Cuba has bo nnmn a nart nf our international polit ical systiiin. This makes It necessary that ln return sho should no given somo of the benefits of becoming nart of our economic system. It Is, from our standpoint, a short-sighted and mischievous policy to fall to rec ognize this need. Moreover.
