The Mg even); of the bull moose national convention at Chicago Wednesday was the speech of Colonel Roosevelt, which followed a wild cheering of 57 minutes after he mounted the platform at the coliseum. He pronounced the old parties “husks with no real soul within either,” and said they were divided on artificial lines and boss ridden and privilege controlled. He pronounced the new movement one of trues, sincerity and wisdom, which proposes social and economic justice. This was the burden of a great portion of his speech. He inveighed against dishonest “big” business and said that there are too many people that do not consider enough and some that prosper too much by dishonest means and then he said that rational men would agree that nothing that could be done would make some men prosperous. He favors prosperity to those men who use their prosperity for the good of the community. That set us to wondering how many men there really are who are seeking prosperity for any other than the selfish reason of their own success. We don’t know of many about us, while some of those in the nation who have used the money at their command in great philanthropic accomplishments are regarded the worst of the successful class. He says that when he was president he frequently pointed out that the anti-trust law was not alone sufficient to correct business abuses, but he does not 3hcw that he ever made an effort to augment the law written by Sherman He favors the maintainance of protective tariff along the very lines of the republican party. He would revise the tariff as the needs of the country demanded and would do so on a scientific plan of ascertaining the cost of production abroad and giving sufficient protection to maintain the scale of wages. He favors a commission to secure the information. He favors high prices for the producer and low prices for the consumer and proposes to get this result by the elimination of the middleman. A proposition that is remarkable for its impracticably. He says that there are elements in the high cost of living which he himself as yet does not understand. He says that we can be sure, however, that the remedy proposed by democrats is a “quack remedy.” He his speech with the words: “We stand at Armageddon, andywe battle for the Lord.”
