"The most valuable ( itien of this or any other country Is the man who owns the land from which he makes ills living. No other man lias such a stake In the country.

Permanent homes for our selves, our children and our nation - ithls Is the central problem. The policy of national Irrigation is of i value to the Fulled Slates in very jinany ways, but the greatest of all Is this, that national irrigation mul tiplies the men who own the land from which they make their own liv ing. The old saying, 'Who ever heard of a man shouldering his gun to fight for his boarding house,' reflects this great truth, that no man is so rendy to defend his country, not only with arms, but with his vote, nnd his con tribution to public opinion as the man with a permanent Btake In it, as the man who owtm the land from which he makes his living.

Finality of Opportunity, j "The first thing that we need lu i this country, as President Roosevelt so well set. forth In that grand mess 'ago which told what be had been try iing to do for the American people, lis equality of opportunity for every citizen. No man should have less, land no man ought to ask for more. Equality of opportunity Is the real object of our laws nnd Institutions. I, ami Owned by the Many. "Equality of opportunity, a square ileal for every man, the protection of the citizen against the great concen trations of capital, the Intelligent use of laws nnd Institutions for the pub lic good, nnd the conservation of our natural resources, not for the trusts, but for the people; these are real Issues and real problems. Fpon such things ns these the perpetuity of this country as a nation of homes really depends. We are coming to see that the simple things are the things to work for. More than that, we are coming to see that the plain Amerlcnn citizen Is the man to work for. The Imagination Is staggered by the magnitude of the prize for which we work. If we succeed there will exist upon this continent a sane, strong people, living through the centuries In a land subdued nnd eon trolled for the service of the people, Its rightful masters, owned by the ninny and not by the few. If we fall, the great Interests, Increasing their control of our natural resources, will thereby control the country more and more, nnd the rights of the people will fade Into the privileges of con centrated wealth.

And whoever dom inates power, dominates till In dustry. Have you ever seen a N drops of oil scattered on ihe water spreading until they formed a enn- tinuous film, which put an end at once to nil neltntion oi the siinaif. The time for us to agitate this ques tion is now, before the separate cir cles of centralized control spread In to the uniform, unbroken, nation wide covering of a single gigantic trust.

This is the man for whom the Roosevelt poli cies were created, aid his welfare the end to which the Roosevelt poli cies lend. Ab a nation we nv mrtun- ate at this time In this fact above ill others, that the great man who his name to these policies hns ror his successor another great president whose administration Is most solemn ly pledged to the support of them.
