"To Htipport this confidence and to gain these ends wo must have n settled governmental policy. And II must he a right policy. II must be a policy consistent with the genius of our Institutions. The people of this country do not desire Socialism even as an experiment. They do not propose to pass through a dreaded 'uunrtcr of an hour" of revolutionary changes to satisfy themselves of those Imperfections of human nature of which they are already v!l apprised, and which make Impossible the cou siltuttlou of society In accordance with the socialist theory. We must make progress and it must he steady end consistent, conserving what ! good and saf.'guni'dlng the oppor tunities for honest effort. Otherwise g:ilns will be offset by unnecessary losses nnd expert accountants tuny search In vain for n credit balance. We may accomplish needed i-forn-v bv making our Institutions work as they were Intended to work, and by effecting, in the light of the ben efits thus s"curcd such changes as experience may commend and dc!ll crate Judgment may approve. "It must be a policy consistent with our constitutional limitations and distribution of benefits by mak ing our Institutions work in the way in which they were Intended t.i work, 1 mean that we should secure the maximum efficiency In both state and federal administration to the end that every matter of nutlonal concern and every mater of "al concern shall receive by the appro prlate exercise of the powers of each Jurisdiction that fuU consideration and necessary remedial nrtlon by which wrongs, both national nnd local, may be completely redressed "Special Interests must keep tlieii hands off the government In city, state ami nation.

We must guard our ranges, our coal de posits, our public lands, our forest treasures by suitable restrictions. No selfish Interest must be permitted to seize with covetous hands, the public domain. "It must also be taken to be a set tled policy that there shall be com plete, effective and Just supervision of our railroads. I do not believe in arbitrary action with regard to these Important concerns either by con gress or by state legislatures or by commissions. The railroads are not the enemies hut the servants of the people. To secure public service, they must be subject to regulation. It must be taken as firmly establish ed that the the evils of rebating and of unjust discrimination v. Ill not be tolerated and that adequate and im partial service upon reasonable termt, must be insisted upon. There must be machinery through which publi(( onngauons as Helmed by law may be enforced. This can best be obtained through an administration board inch as the Interstate, Commerce Commission. The question of rates must be determined after full con sideration of all pertinent facts to the end that the requirements of Im partiality and reasonableness may he complied with while at the same time a fair return to the owners may be assured. Nothing should be lacking In administrative powers for the at tainment of these objects. "It Is also essential that there should be efficient supervision of the Issue of securities to avoid the evils of Inflation of over-capitalization. "We wish to see American Indus try expand. We desire every advan tage of economic organization, ev ery Just opportunity for the displav of talent and Inventive skill, eveny possible improvement in the process es of manufacture, everything In short which enhances the opportun ity of labor and Its fruitful eiupluv nient at good wages and which de velops and encourages trade.
