th« country with a completeness that
not even on unrestrained individual
ism Itself could achieve. The danger to
American democracy lies not In the
least In tha concentration of adminis
trative power In responsible and ac
countable hands. It Ilea In having
the power Insufficiently concentrated,
ao that no one can be held responsible
to the people for its use.
Labor.
There are many matters affecting
labor and the status of the wage-work-
•r to which I should like to draw your
attention, but an exhauatlvo discus
sion of the problem In all Its aspect#
la not now necessary. This adminis
tration la nearing its end; and. more
over under our lorm of government the
solution of the problem depends upon
the action of the states as much as
upon the action of t*he nation. Never
theless. there ure certain considera
tions which I wish to set before you,
because I hop* that our people will
more and more keep them in mind. A
blind and Ignorant resistance to every
effort for the reform of abuses end for
the readjustment of society to mod
ern Industrial conditions representsn'it
true conservatism but an Incitement to
the wildest radicalism; for wlso radi
calism and wise conservatism go hand
In hand, one bent on progress, the
other bent on seeing that no change
Is made unless In the right direction.
I believe in a steady effort, or per
haps it would be more accurate to any
In steady efforts In many different
directions, to bring about a condition
of affairs under which men who work
with hand of with brain, the laborers,
the fuperlntendents, the men who pro
duce for the market and tho men who
find a market for the article* -pro
duced, chall own. a far greater snare
than at present of the wealth they
produce, end be enabled to invest It
In the tools and Instruments by which
all work Is carried on. As far as
possible I hope to see a frank rec
ognition of the advantages conferred
by machinery, organization, and divi
sion of labor, accompanied by an ef
fort to bring about a larger share In
the ownership by wage-worker of rail
way, mill, and factory.
Thero must be prohibition of child
labor, diminution of womag labor,
shortening of hours of all mwhonlcal
labor: stock watering should be pro
hibited. and stock gambling so far as
Is possible discouraged. There should
be a progressive Inheritance tax on
large fortunes. Industrial education
should be encouraged. As far as pos
sible we should lighten the burden of
taxation on the small man. We should
put a premium upon thrift, hard work,
and business energy; but these quali
ties cease to be the main factors In
accumulating a fortune long before
that fortune reaches a point where It
would be seriously affected by any in
heritance tax such as I propose. It Is
eminently right that the nation should
fix the terms upon which the great
fortunes are inherited. They rare'.;*
do good and they often do harm Vo
those who Inherit them in their en
tirety. -
Protection for Waae-Worksrs.
There is one matter with which the
congress should deal at this session.
There should no longer be any palter-
1 Ing with the question of taking care
of the wage-workers who. under our
present Industrial system, becomo kill
ed, crippled, or worn out an part of
the regular Incidents of a given busi
ness. The majority of wage-workers
must have their right* secured for
them by state action: but the national
government should legislate in thor
oughgoing and far-reaching fashion
not only for all employes of tho na
tional government, but for all parsons
engaged In Interstate commerce. The
object nought for could bo achieved to
a measurable degree, as far as those
killed or crippled are concerned, by
proper employers* liability lawa. As
far as concerns those who have been
worn out, I call your attention to the
fact that definite steps toward pro
viding old-age pensions have been
taken in many of our private Indus
trie*. These may be Indefinitely ex
tended through voluntary aseoelatlon
and contributory schemes, or through
the agoncy pf savings banks, as under
the recent Massachusetts plan. To
strengthen these practical measures
should be our Immediate duty; it la
not at present necessary to consider
the larger and more general govern
mental schemes that most European

The Courts,
Pending a thoroughgoing investIgn
tlon and action there Is oertaln leg
islation which should be enacted at
once. I most earnestly urge upon the
congress the duty of increasing the
totally Inadequate salaries now given
to our Judges. On the whole there
Is uo body of public servants who
do as valuable work, nor whose
moneyed reward la so Inadequate com
pared to their work. Beginning -with
the supreme court the Judges should
have their salaries doubled. It 1* not
befitting tho dignity of the nation
that Its must honorod public servants
should he paid sums so small com
pared to what they would earn In
private life that tho performance of
public ssrvlco by ahem Implies ar
exceedingly heavy pecuniary g*crl
earnestly to be desired that
flee.
It Is earnestly to _ . _
somo method should' be devised for
doing away with tho long delays
which now obtain In tho administra
tion of justice, and which operate with
peculiar severity against persona of
•mall means, and favor only the very
criminals whom It Is most desirable
to punish. These long delays In the
final declalons of cases make. In the
aggregate a crying evil, and a reme
dy should be devised. Much of this
Intolerable delay is due to Improper
regard paid to technicalities which are
a mere hindrance to Justice. In some
noted recent cnaea thla over-regard
for technicalities has resulted In a
striking denial of justice, and flagrant
wrong to the body politic.
Tho wageworkers, tho workingmen,
the laboring men of tho country by
the way In which they repudiated tho
effort to get them to cant their votes
In response to an appeal to elasa ha
tred. have emphasized their sound pa-
trlotlsm and Americanism. Tho whole
country has cause to feel pride In
this attitude of sturdy Independence
in this uncompromising Insistence
upon acting simply as good citizens,
as good Americans, without regard
to fancied—and Improper—class inter
ests. Such an attitude Is an object
lesson In good citizenship to the entire
nation. »
But tho extreme reactionaries, the
persons who blind themselves to the
wrongs now and then committed by
the courts on laboring men. should
also think seriously as to what such
a movement as this portends. The'
Judges who have shown themselves’
able and willing effectively to check'
tho dishonest activity of the very,
rich man who works Iniquity by the
mismanagement of corporations, who
have shown themselves alert to do
Justice to tho wageworker, and aym-
pathetlc with the needs of tho 'hisM
of our people, «o that tho dweller In
the tenement houses, the man who
practice* a dangerous trade, the man
who is crushed by excessive hours
of labor, fee I that their needs are un
derstood by the courts—theap judges
are the real bulwark, of the courts;
these Judges, the Judge* of the stamp
of the president-elect, who have been
fearless In opposing labor when It has
f ;one wrong, but fearless aiso In hold-
ng to strict account corporations that
work Iniquity, and far-sighted In see
ing that tne workingman gets hie 1
rights, are the men of oil others to
whom wo owe It that the appeal for
such violent and mistaken legislation
has fallen on deaf ears, that tho agi
tation for Its passage provfift to be
without substantial basis. The courts
ere Jeoparded primarily by the action
of these federal and state Judges who
show inability or unwillingness to put
a atop to the wrongdoing of vary rich
men under modern Industrial condi
tions. and Inability or unwillingness
to give relief to men of email means

to these changes ot conditions which
so materially affect th» performance
of their Judicial duties, our Judicial
system Is sound and effective at core,
and it remains, and must , ever be
maintained, as the safeguard 'of those
principles of liberty and Juatlco which
stand at the foundation of American
Institutions; for. Burfco finely said,
when liberty and Justice are separated,
neither Is safe. There are, however,
aomo members of the Judicial body
who have lagged behind In their un
derstanding of these great and vital
change* In the body politic, whoso
minds have nover been opened to the
new applications of tho old principles
made necessary by the new conditions.
Judges of this stamp do lasting barm
by their decisions, because they con
vince poor men in need of protection
that the courts of the land aro pro
foundly Ignorant of and out of sym
pathy with their needs, nnd profoundly
Indifferent or hostile to any propos
ed remedy. To such men It seems a
cruel mockery to have any court deddo
against them on the ground that It
desires to preserve "liberty** In a pure,
ly technical form, by withholding lib
erty in any real and constructive sense.
It Is desirable chat the legislative body
should possess, and wherever neces
sary exercise, the power to, determine
whether In a given case employers and
rmployta are not on an equal footing,
so that the necessities of the latter
compel them to submit to such exac
tlon* as to hnuni and conditions ot
Inbor n* .unduly to tax their strength;
and only mischief can result when such
determination I* upset on the ground
that thero must be no "Intereforence
with tho liberty to contract**—ofton b
merely academic ‘‘liberty,'* the exer
cise of which is the negation of real
liberty.
There are. certain decisions by vari
ous courts which have be*n exceed
ingly detrimental to th* right* of wage-
workers. This Is true of all the de
cisions that deetdo thst men and wo
men are, by rite constitution, "guatnn
teed their liberty” to contract to en
ter a dangerous occupation, or to work
an undesirable or Improper number of
hours, or to work In unhealthy sur
roundings; and therefore can not re
cover damage* when maimed in that
occupation, and cun not t»e forbidden
to work what tho legislature decides
Is nn oxcesslvo number of hour*, or to
icarry on thb work under conditions
which the legislature decides to be un
healthy. The most dangerous occu
pations are often the (poorest paid and
those where the hours of work aro
longest; 'and In many cases those who
go Into them ere driven by necessity
so great that they hAvs practloally no
alternative. Decision* auch a* those
alluded to above nullify the legislative
effort to protect the wage-worker* who
most need protection from those em
ployer* who take advantage of their
grinding need. They halt or hamper
the movement fop securing better and
more equitable conditions of labor.
The talk about preserving to the mis
ery-hunted beings who make contracts
for such service their “liberty" to make
them. Is to speak In a spirit of heart
less irony op ,«l#e to snow nn utter
lack of knowledge of the condition# of

the raveral le^slaturra are responsible
for the fact that our laws aro often pre-
with slovenly haste and lack of
consideration. -Moreover, they are often

smsmled during passage, at the susses-
ot the very parties against whom
they are afterwards enforced. Our great
cluster* of corporations, huge trusts nnd

Action should be begun forthwith,
during the present session of the con
gress. for the improvement of our Inland H
waterways—action which will result In ■
J iving us not only navigable but navlga-
ed rivers. We havo spent hundreds of
millions of dollar* upon these water
ways, yet the truffle on nearly all ol
them Is steadily declining. This condi
