Crossing a Stream When Speaking before ‘a jammed house at Cooper_Unlon, New York city, Friday night, Colonel Roosevelt said: I am glad to speak in this historic building, at the request of men of sucn high standing as those who: have asked me to speak (The John Wanamaker committee); and thank them for hav- ing asked me to speak on the most vital of all present-day questions, tha “Natlon's Crisis,” a crisis' preeminently | moral and spiritual. There can be no greater misfortune for a free nation than to find itself under incapable leadersnip when con- fronted by a great crisis. This is pe- culiarly the case when the crisis is not merely one in its history, but is due to some terrible world cataclysm— such a catclysm as at this moment has overwheimed civilization. The times have needed a Washington or a Lincoln. - Unfortunately we have been granted only another Buchanan. Changed Buchanan for- Lincoln. The appeal is made on behalf of Mr, Wilson that we should not change horses in crossing a stream. The wortlh of such an appeal is not obvious when the horse, whenever he comes to it stream, first pretends he is going to jump it, then refuses to_enter it, and When he has reached the middle al- ternately moves feebly forward and feebly backward, and occasionally lies down. e Had just entered the great. est crisis in our history when wa “swapped horses” by exchanging Bu- chanan for Lincoln; and if we had not made the exchange we would never have crossed the stream at all. The failure now to exchange Mg Wilson for Mr. Hughes would be almost as damaging. % ‘Washington and Lincoln confronted crises of different types, and therefore In any given crisis it is now the ex- ample of one, now the example of the other, which it 1s most essefftial for us to follow. FEach stood absolutely for the National ideal; for a full Union | of all our people, perpetual and in- destructible; and for the full employ- ment of our entire collective strength to ary extent that was necessary in order to meet the nation’s needs Lincoln had to deal with vital ques- tions of internal reform, and with the overturning of internal forces tending toward the destruction of the Union. Vashington had to deal primarily, not only with- the creation or our Union, but with the maintenance of our lib. erty against all adverse forces from without. This country must learn the lessons taught both careers, and | must apply the principies established by those carcers to the ever-changing conditions of the present, or sooner or later it wil go down in utté® ruin. Lesson of Nationalism. The lesson of nationalism and there. fore of efcient action through the na- tional government is taught by both careers. At the present moment’ we need to apply this principle in our social and industrial life to a degres far greater than was the _case-.in either Washington’s day or Tincoln's. The expansion of our people across the continent has gone hand in hand with their immense concentration in | great cities, and with gigantic changes in the machinery of communication, transportation, and productio changes which have worked a business revolution almost as vast as thatl| worked by all similar revolutions put | together since the days of the Roman Empire. Therefore we are now forced to face problems not only new in degree, but new in kind. We must face these problems in the spirit of Washington and Lincoln; but _our methods in industrial life must differ as completely from those that ob- tained in the times of those two great men of the past, as the weapons of warfare now differ from the flintlocks of Washington’s seldiers, or the muzzle loading smooth-bores of Lincoln’s day. We must quit the effort to meet mod. ern conditions by flintlock legislation. We must recognize, as modern Gi many has recognized, that it is folly either to try to cripple business by making if ineffective or to fail to in- sist that the wage-worker and con- sumer must be given their full share of the prosperity that comes from the successful application and use of mod- ern industrial instrumentalities. Both capitalists and wageworkers must understand that the performance of dutles and the enjovment of rights 20 hand in hand. Any shirking of ob- lization toward the nation, and toward the people that make up the nation, deprives the offenders of all moral right to the enjoyment of privileges of any kind. This applies alike to cor- men and poor men, to big men and little men. . George Washington's Injunction. There can be no genuine feeling of patriotism of the kind that makes all men willing and eager to die for the land, unless there has been some measure of success in making the land worth living in for all alike, whatever their station, so long as they do their duty; and on the other hand, no man has a right to enjoy any - benefits whatever from living in the land in time of peace, unless if duty calls he is trained physically and spiritually so that he can and will do his part to keep the land against all alien ag- gression. Every citizen of this land, every American of whatever creed or national origin, should keep in mind the injunction of George Washington to his nephews, when in his will dated July 9th, 1799, he bequeathed to each of them a sword, making the bequest in_the following word: | “These swords are accompanted with Jan injunction not to unsheathe them for the purpose of shedding blood, ex- cept it be for self-defense, or in de- fense of thelr country and its rights: and in the latter case to keep thém unsheathed and .prefer falling with them in their hands than to the relin- quishment_thereof. These are noble words. Remember that they gained their nobility only because the deeds of Washington had been such that he had a right to utter them. His sword had been sheathed until he drew it on behalf of national liberty, and of humanity, and then it Union, New York—Nothing to But Change Horses in —No Criticism of Administration But What Has Been . Accurate and Truthful — Need Man at Helm Who is > Straightforward and Courageous. Animal Balks and Lies Down brain. We treasure what Washing: ton enjoined on his blood-kin as their duty when they should inherit his swords; but we do so only because 'Washington's own sword never slipped from'a hand made irresolute by fear. We treasure the words that Lincoln spoke -at Gettysburg, and in his second inaugural; words spoken with the in- spiration of a prophet of old, standing between the horns of the altw:, while the pillars of the temple reeled round about. The words spoken by Lincoln were spoken when he was weighed down Dy iron grief,-and yet was upheld by an iron will, so that he stood erect while the foundations of the country rocked beneath his feet, and with breaking heart and undaunted soul 'poured out, as .if it were a libation, the life blood of the best and bravest of the land. We cherish these words of his only because they were made 2004 by his deeds. We remember that he said that a government dedicated to freedom should not perish from the earth. We remember- it only bocause he did not let the government perish. We remember that he said that the bondman should be free at whatever cost. We remember it only becausé +he paid the cost and set the bondman free, Lincoln’s Promise Was Kept. When Lincoln accepted the nomina- tion of the Republican Party in 1860, ho spoke of the platform of that party as follows: “The declaration of principles and sentiments which accompan your letter needs my approval, and it shall be my care nat to violate or disregard them in any part.” This was a short statement. Tt de- rived its value from the fact that it was a promise that was kept. I ask you to compare this record of Lin- coln’s with the cynicism shéwn by M Wilson at different times in repud! ating almost every promise he has ever made on any matter of vital im- portance. He has repudiated promises of the platform on he was elected. He has repudiated the promises he made on the stump to further his own election. Ho has now repudiated about all the promises which he has made since he became President. Acgurate and Truthful Criticism. I have been assailed because T haye criticized Mr. Wilson. T have not s one thing of him that was not abso- lutely accurate and truthful. I havs not said one thing of him which I @ not deerf. it necessary to say becauss of the vital intcrests of this Republic. I have criticized him because T believe he has dragged in the, dust what was most sacred in-our -past, and has jeopardized the most vital hopes of our future. I have never spoken of him as strongly as Abraham Lincoln in his day spoke of Buchanan and Pierce when they were Presidents of the United States. I spoke of him at all, only because T have felt that in this great world o a more evil part than Buchanan and Pierce ever played in tme vears that led' up to and saw the opening of tha Civil War. I eriticize him now because he has adroitly and cleverly and witn sinister ability appealed to all that 1s weakest and most uniorthy in the American character; and also because he has adroitly and cleverly and with sinister ability sought to mislead many men and womer, who are nefther weai nor unworthy, but who have been mis- led by a shadow dance of words. He has made our statesmanshif’ a thinz of empty elocution. He has covered his fear of standing for the right be- hind a veil of rhetorical phrases. He- has wrapped the true heart of the na- tion in a spangled shroud of rhetoric. He has kept the eyes of the people dazzled so that they know not what is real and what is false, so that they turn hewildered, unable to discern the difference between the glitfer that veneers evil and the stark realities courage and honesty, of truth ahd strength. In the face of the world he has covered this nation's face with shame as with a garment. Sentiment Which Deeds Belie. I hardly know whetner to feel the most burning indignation at those speeches of his wherein he expresses lofty sentiment, which his deeds belie; or at those other speeches wherein he displays a frank cynicism of belief in, and of appeal to, what 1s basest in the human heart. In a recent speech at Long Branch, he said to our people; as reported in the daily press, that “You cannot worship God on an empty stomach, and you cannot be a patriot when you are starving?’ Ne more sordid untruih was ever uttered. Is it possible tr\t Mr. Wilson, who pro- fesses to be a historian, who has been a college president, and passes for a man of learning, knows nothing either of religion or of patriousm? Does he not know that never yet was there a creed worth having, tne professors of which did not fervently worship God whether their stomachs were full or empty? Does he not know that never yet was there a country worth living in which did not develop among her sons something at least of that nobility of soul which makes men not only serve their country when they are starving, but when death has set its doom on their faces Washington to His Soldiers. Such a sentence as this could be uttered only by a President who cares nothing for thé nation’s soul, and who belleves that the nation ifself puts its belly above its soul. No wonder that when such a doctrine is preached by the President, his Sccretary of War should compare Washington and Washington's soldiers with the Pzndit chiefs of Mexico and their followers who torture men and murder children, and commit nameless outrages on women. This sentence is as bad as anything Secretary Baker himself said. I call the attention of these apostles of the full belly, of these men who jeer at the nation's soul. I call the atfen- tion of President Wilson and nis Sec- retary of War and hls Secretary of the Navy, to what Washington said of his own soldiers when he spoke of them in a letter to Congress on April was kept unsheathed until. victory came. His sword was a terror to the powers of evil. It was a flame of white fire in the eyes of those who fought for what was right. Lovers of Peac ‘Washington loved “peace. . Perhaps Lincoln loved peace even more. But when the choice was between peace and righteousness, both alike trod un- daunted the dark path that led through terror and suffering ana the imminent menace of death to the shining goal beyond. We treasure the lofty words these men spoke. We treasure them because they were not merely words, but the high expression of deeds still her; the expression of .a - serene or that was never Jbaaxt ar a subtle 21st, 1778: “Without arrogance or the slightest deciation from truth, it may be said that no history now extant can fur- nish an instance of an army'’s suffering such uncommon hardships as ours has dofle and bearing them with the same patiende and fortitude.

They were clad in rags; their eyes | were hollow with famine; their bodies were numbed with cold and racked with fever; but they loved their coun- try: they stood for the soul of the na~ tion and not for its belly, Mr. Baker and Mr. Daniels have done evil to this country only because they stood where their master, Mr. Wilson, had placed them. Mr. Baker has preached the doctrime of contempt for the men of the Revolution, only because he has followed the lead of the President, who says that religion s merely a matter of a full stomach, and that patriotism vanishes when heroes feel the pinch of famine. I call your at- | tention to these statements not only { because they are fous swanders on everything that is good in human na- ture, not only because they are @ foul slander on every Amerrcun worth call- ing an American, but because they show the charaeter of Mr. Wilson him- sels. 1 Whole Record Consists Back. So much for Mr. Wilson when he says what he really feels. Now a word | about what he says when he speaks what is quite impossible that he really” believes. ' On last Saturday afternoon, | with an effrontery that is literally | dumbfounding, he said that when ne| “started in one direction” he ‘“would | never turn around and go back,” and | that he “had acted upon this principle | all his life,” and that he “intended to act upon it in the future” and that he “did not see any obstacle that! would make him turn back.” Why, his whole record has consisted in turning back at every ,oimt when he was bidden to do so. by either fear or self-interest. He has reversed him- self on almost every important posi- tion he has ever taken. There is not a bandit leader in Mexico who does not know that if he can show enough strength he can at any moment make Mr. ‘Wilson not merely turn back, but humbly kiss his hand; kiss the hand that iS red with the blood of our men, women and children. Mr. Wilson says that he “never turns back!” ‘Why, he bas been conducting his whole cam- | paign on the appeal that he has “kept | us out of war;” and yet last Thursday, out a moment’s notice, and only ten days before election, after having been going full speed in one direction, he turned around and went full speed in the reverse direction on this very point: saying, forsooth, that if the was another war we must not keep out of it. He has been claiming credit | because in the case of Belgium he has preserved a neutrality that wou make Pontius Pilate quiver with envs; and yet in this speech last Thursday he said that never again must we be neutral! He has kept us absolutely unprepares S0 that now we are as absolutely unprepared, after he has been in office three and a half years, as we were when he took office; and vet he now says that we must enter the fiext war whenever one come: He has looked on without a single throb of his cold heart, without the least quickening of his tepid pulse, while gallant Belgium was trampled into bloody mire, while the Turk in- flicted on the Armentan and Syrian Christians wrongs that would have blasted the memory of Attila, and he in Turning DRESS Extraordinary Sale | ~ Suits, Dresses and Skirts (Without Roserve, to Make Room for Our Coals) DISTINCTIVE SUITS of Individual Character Values to $23.75 s18.7= Values to 337.50 ES Values to $18.50 3 A 11.2 SERGES AND SILK SKIRTS BVERY SKIRT IN STOCK Values to $28.50 Values to $45.00 =30 25 5 lined. has claimed cridit for ms neutral in-} j difference to their suffering: and, yet now, ten days before election, he say Jthe United States must hereafter re- fuse to allow small nations to be mis- handled by big, powerful nations. Ds | it now, Mr. Wilson! If you mean what ou say, Mr. Wilson, show that you | mean it by your action in the present. Evil Lesson of Covering Up Failure. There is no more evily lesson that can be taught this people than to covér up failure in the performance of duty in the present by the ut- terance of glittering generalities as to the performance of duty In the neb- ulcus future. With all my heart I believe in seeing this country prepare its own soul and body =o that it can stand up for the weak when they are oppressed by the strong. But before it can do.so it must fit itself to defend ts own rights, and it must stand for the rights of its citizens. During the last three years and a half, hundreds of American men, women and children have been murdered on the high ses. and in Mexico. Mr. Wilson has not dared to stand up for them. He has let them suffer without relief, andj without inflicting punishment upon the wrongdoers. When he announced that in some dim future he intends to stand up for the rights of others, let him make good in the present by now standing up for the rights of our own people. He wrote @ermany that he would hold her to ‘“strict accounta- bility” if an American lost his life on an Anferican or neutral ship by her submarine warfare. Forthwith the Arabic and the Gulfight were sunk. But Mr. Wilson dared not take any action to make his threat effective. He held Germany to no accountability, loose or strict. Germany despised him; and the Lusitahia was sunk in consequence. Thirteen hundred and ninety-four people were drowned, ops hundred and three of them babies under two years of age. “Too Proud To Fight” Two days later, while the dead mothers with their babies in their arms lay by scores in the Queenstowa morgue, Mr. Wilson selected the mo- ment as opportune to utter his famous sentence about being “Too proud to fight” Mr. Wilson now dwells ‘at Shadow Lawn. There should be shad- ows enough at Shadow Lawn; the shadows of men, women and children who have risen from the ooze of the ocean bottom, and from graves in for- eign lands; the shadows of the help- less whom Mr. Wilson did not dare protect lest he might have to face darger; the shadows of babies gasping pitifully as they sank under the waves the shadows of women outraged and slain by bandits; the shadows of Boyd and Adair and their troopers who lay in the Mexican desert, the black blood crusted round their mouths, and their dim eves looking upward, because President Wilson had sent them to do a task, and had then shamefully abandoned them to the mercy of foes who knew no mercy. Those are the shadows proper for Shadow Lawn; the shadows of deeds that were never done; the shadows of lofty words that were followed by no action; the shad- ows of the tortured dead. Cannot Obscure High Moral Standards. The Titantic War still staggers to and fro across the continent of Eu- rope. The nations engaged in the death wrestle stili show no sign of let- ting up. Sometime in the next four years the end will come, and then no human being can tell what this nation will have to face.

Tokio, Nov. 2—In view of Japan's negotiations to extend her influence in China, more especially in Kastern In- ner Mongolia and South Manchuria, | special significance is attached to changes 1n Japanese diplomats which have just been announced. Japan's policy is said to be determined efiorts to bring about permanent peace in China_under. the presidency _of Li Yvahnbgns% the ,entente allies Ainder the aj n of Ja have decided to help with about $50,000,000. '~ - > The impression prevails in .. Tokio that President Ly Yuan-hung is gen- erally well disposed towards Japarese assistance but the chief diffculty Is the reconciliation of rival Chinese leaders, many of whom are suspicious of Japan’s intentions. There are indi- cations, also, that Japan and Russia are already working in close harmony in China, this being the first fruit of the recently concluded alliance be- tween the two Empires. The most {mportant of the- recent plomatic t wise, there has been a shifting of con- suls in China in the interest of greater efficiency. Also next year the foreign office will open three new consulates in China, one in far-away Szechwan pro- vince, another Yunnan and another in another important place to be desig- nated later. Speaking at a farewell dinner offer- ed by the foreign office press club Mr. Yoshizawa, referred to China as being like “a*) incompetent person whose monetary allowances are limited by the administration of his property.” He added “There are only two world powers now which can give attention to China in any appreciable degree. They are Japan and the United States. The United States is a rich country and can afford to invest capital in China. She is'likely to do so from now on. America’s interests in China will grow rapidly. But Japan, for geographical reasons and because of her political and other relations in the past, is in a more convenient position than America to assist China. The re- sponsibilty of Japan, therefore, is very great. The speaker declared that Japan should maintain _the attitude of a guardian toward China as an adminis- tratdr does to an incompetent person under, his care. Japan he thought, should treat China as a mother treats her child. “We should be patient with China,” he declared, “If she listens to our friendly suggestions, she should be encouraged, is she does not, she should be chastised as a father punishes his wayward son. “By a patient policy I mean that we should carry on the work which we have started in China, politically and otherwise, especially in Manchuria and Mongolla, step by step, without doing anything rashly. We should, avaid do> ing things which will only invite the suspicion of the Chinese and the foreign nations.
