THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH

In his speech yesterday before the National Grain Dealers’ association meeting at Baltimore, President Wilson discussed the business of the country, its relation to the business of the world, and the at-

titude of government toward both. It was argued that we had outgrown the home market, which is true. For many years we have been developing our industries, and it has been clear that the time would come when we should have to devote ourselves to the building up of foreign trade through the cultivation of foreign markets. The President’s idea is that the government ought to help through every agency that it can command, and do what it can to remove all obstacles, legislative or other. He favored the Webb bill, under which combinations the sole purpose of which was to trade abroad, should be exempted from the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law. And generally he urged that business be freed as .much as possible, that it be fully informed as to its rights under the law, to the end that uncertainty may disappear. But it is also true, as Mr. Wilson pointed out, that our business men, and indeed all our people, need to get a larger vision, and to develop a greater initative in connection with the campaign for the world’s trade. We have been too much disposed to limit ourselves to nearby markets. There is such a thing as American commercial provincialism. We are, however, outgrowing it, and whatever government can do to help the movement it should do. The question of foreign relations is manifestly, as the President said, important. And yet what we need, and may have, is not so much the friendship of governments, as the friendship of the peoples of the various countries, and their confidence. Broadly this is the President’s view. Speaking of the mission of America Mr. Wilson said:

The competition of business either lay the foundations of respect and mutual confidence of the foundations of suspicion and mutual hospitality. America has stood in the years past for that sort of political undertsanding among them which would let every man feel that his rights were the same as those of another; and the mission of America in the field of the world’s commerce is to be the same, that when an American conies info that competition he comes without any arms that would enable him to conquer by force, but only with the peaceful influence of intelligence, a desire to serve, a knowledge of what he is about, before which everything softens and yields and renders itself his subject. That is the mission ot America, and my interest so far as my small part in America is concerned is to lend every bit of intelligence I have to this interesting, this vital, all-impqrtant matter of releasing the intelligence of America for the service of mankind That means that there should be on our part no semi-military alliances, such as are proposed in Europe after the war, for the conquest of trade. Rather we are to consider trade as one of the arts of peace, and as such to be cultivated in a peaceful spirit, and with the idea of doingr, what we can to bind the nations together, and all of them to ourselves. That is clearly the President's idea. It is also or should be—the idea of a civilized humanity.—lndianapolis News.

A FUNDAMENTAL BENEFIT Development of many of the nation’s greatest agricultural states lying west of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio rivers is yet in its infancy. Vast acreages of fertile land which should be under cultivation are in jungle, swamps which should be drained are flooded, farmers who should have silos and efficient modern machinery to add to the volume and economy of production of vegetable and meat foodstuffs are without them, and the condition of farm buildings and farm premises constitute a steady loss to the farmer. The great hindrance has been lack of money for development, extortionate interest rates, and often merciless mortgage holders who have forced the farmer to sacrifice necessities to meet the obligations imposed by rates running as high as 10 per cent.

The Wilson administration by enactment of the rural credits law which will enable the farmer to borrow money at not to exceed 6 per cent and have forty years to pay it back, if he wants >that long a time,' is destined to speedily remedy backward agricultural conditions. From it there can be but one result—greater activity and improvements on the farm in all the states —not merely in favored communities—with money enough to meet all the farmers’ needs and make needed improvements without necessity of resort to the loan sharks who shackled the development of many farm communities.

Thoreau, who obtained such small pay for his famous literary efforts, should have been present when assessors placed a value of $12,500 on a group of his original manuscripts iq the Morgan collection. It is not known where the financier bought them.

EIGHT-HOUR ACT HELPS BUSINESS

Senator La Follette Declares Law Saved Nation. DEFENDS THE ADAMSON ACT Only Republican Senator to Support Measure Says Hughes Is Wrong in His Statements. Madison, Wisconsin, September 2 5.- —Declaring that the eight-hour law for railway trainmen has been much misrepresented, and’ that it saved the business men and the farmer from disaster, Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin, the only Republican senator to vote for the law, is out today in a signed editorial in the September number of his magazine defending thb passage of the law. He indorses the sentiments expressed by President Wilson before the business men at Shadow Lawn on Saturday. Senator LaFollette denies that the eight-hour law was a “force bill,” as Charles E. Hughes contends. He says that the railroad employes made their demands of the railroads and not upon congress, and it was only when a strike became probable that the President and congress stepped in and averted the disaster. The Wisconsin senator charges that millions of dollars were expended by the railroads during the pendency of their negotiations with the trainmen in an effort to influence public sentiment against the demands of the trainmen for an eight-hour day. “These millions- did not come from the profits of the railroad managers ot the railroad owners,” said Senator LaFollette. “They came from the funds of the treasuries of the railroads. This campaign was conducted with money that really belonged to the people. “The shippers and passengers were made in the last analysis to finance a publicity canrpaign to influence their own judgment upon one side of this great question.” The senator says that the trainmen had no suc'h resources for a publicity campaign to shape public opinion in their favor, nor did they have the additional advantage of placing flamboyant placards upon the walls of waiting-rooms at railway stations to influence their case with the traveling public. Senator LaFollette says that when he secured the sixteen-hour limitation for railroad employes he was met by the same argument that is now being made against the eight-hour day. “The railroads and some other large employers are slow to learn,” said the senator, “but abundant experience has shown that for the trades, professions and crafts where skilled courage, caution and close attention are required the eighthour day is the maximum for efficiency.”

GOOD SERVICE RENDERED

Woodrow Wilson stands for free government, for honest government, for visible government—for the common rights of men and women, of business groups and organizations, of municipalities and states, of the United States and of the other nations of the world whether they be weak or powerful. He has been free of the influence of special interests whether brought to bear by money power within the United States or by the greatest military power on earth. Proof lies in the long, explicit and wonderful record of his performance in the Presidency. For that reason he was able to say in his speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President:

“I do not doubt that the people of the United States will wish the Democratic party to continue in control of the government. They are not in the habit of rejecting those who have actually served them for those who are making doubtful and conjectural promises of service. Least of all are they likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved false to that promise for those who have actually rendered those very services.”
