s if We RESIDENT CONDEMNS MOB LAW IN LABOR DAY SPEECH Mr. Roosevelt in Opening the New York State Fair in Syracuse Declares that the Man Who Condones Violence Is the Worst Enemy of the Wage-Earner, B Lawlessness and Class Hatred, Whether ' They Take the Form of a Crime of _ Greed and Cunning or of a Crime of Violence, Are Destructive of Liberty. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Aug. 7.—Closely guarded by the Secret Service men ‘who accompanied him from Oyster Bay, President Roosevelt this afternoon opened the New York State Fair with a Labor Day speech in which he de- elared that the man who preaches violence is the worst enemy of the laborer. Syracuse had given the President a warm welcome. There was a tre- mendous crowd around the Lackawanna Railroad station when he arrived. The Forty-first Separate Company escorted him to Hanover Square, where his part in the day’s programme began with a review of the labor parade. ‘The streets were co densely crowded that the police had difficulty in keeping the way clear for tht President's carriage. From the railroad station to the reviewing stand there was one continuous cheer. GREAT LABOR DAY PARADE. In the square about the reviewing stand there were fully 25,000 people. Upon the stand with the President and the Reception Committee were Sen- tor incey M. Depew, Bishop P, A. Ludden, of Syracuse, and many in- Auential citizens. ‘here never was such a demonstration by labor in thiscity. Fully 6,000 men and women were in line. The Labor Day Committee as it reached | the stand sent ite chairman to greet the President and to pin a badge upon his coat. The President expressed his pleasure in a few words, and the Hne began to move. Union after union uncovered as it reached the stand. Organized labor, individually regarded, never paid higher honor to any man than was evidenced In the salutations to the President. Occasionally he put aside his hat to clap his hands. Now and again he shouted compll- ments to e fine-looking body. From start to finlah his attention was never diverted from the workingmen. In the parade were a fow floate with placards. ‘One‘read: ‘The Trust Fights Us; Let Us Fight the Trust by Not Using Their Goods. “They are the power behind the throne,” remarked a Syrausan to the President, as the men marched by. “xactly, the power behind the throne, exactly, and it makes one proud te think he {s an American to see these men,” replied the President. When the line had passed the President was driven to the train and started for the State Fair Grounds, SPEECH AT THE FAIR GROUNDS, At the State Fair grounds there was another tremendous throng which gave the President « greeting as cordial as that of the crowds in the city. ‘Whett)he was introduced to speak there was a great wave of enthusiasm, yand it*was several minutes before he could begin to speak. He sald in part: _ In ‘speaking on Labor Day at tho annual fair of the New York State Agricul- @ural Association st t# natural to keep especially in mind the ¢wo bodies who compose the majority of our people and upon whose welfare What depends the welfare of the entire State, If circumstances Makes cre such that thrift, energy, industry and forethought en- Prosperity? ble the farmer, the tiller of the soll, on the one hand, and the wage-worker on the other, to keep themselves, their ‘Wives and their children in reasonable comfort, then the State is well off and we ean be assured that the other classes in the community will lkewise prosper, On the, ther hand, if there is m the long run a lack of prosperity among the two classes named, then all other prosperity is sure to be more seeming than real.

We can keep our Government on a sane and healthy basis, we can make and keep our social system what it should be, only on condition of judging each man, not'as.a member of a clase but on his worth man. ‘The failure in public and in private life thus to treat each man on his own merits, the recognition of this Government as being elther for the poor as such or for the rich as such, would prove fatal to our Republic, as such fatlure and recognition have always proved fatal Rests on in thé past to other republics.
