JBUtcn 1BE PEOPLE MUST JUDGE Praaldent Makes Splendid Address to Large , Crowd at Indianapolis-— Says Mexico Most Fight It Out— Wants Americans to Leave Europe Alone and Become Interested Here. President Wilson In a Jackson day speech at Indianapolis, Ind., Friday voiced what his hearers interpreted as a hint that he might be a candi date for the presidency agaip in, 1916. The audience or more than 4,000 people rose to their feet and cheered until the president called for quiet. The president had been discussing the Mexican question. Referring to his belief that he knew the tempera ment and principles of the American people, he added that he would not be fit-to stay where he was if he did not understand them. “There may come a time,” he de clared, “when the American people will have to judge whether I know what 1 am talking about or not.” There was a slight pause and then the crowd began cheering. Realizing the construction which had been put on his words, the president held up his hand for silence and said: “I did not mean to stir up any thing. That was merely preparatory to saying that for at least two more years I am free to think I know the American people.” Picturing the United States as ful- flling the high function of "servant of mankind,” President Wilson's spsech was full of words of peace and prom ise to business, of caution and admo nition to his party, of invitation and compliment to the independent voter, of fairness to struggling Mexico, of friendly neutrality to the embattled powertf, of fealty and devotion to the great spirit of the United States as a nation. Especially significant weer the pres ident's references to the relations be tween the United States and others of the earth. Prs-eminently interest ing. perhaps, was his statement that so long as he had the power, the Mexicans should be given the oppor tunity to work out their own salva tion, even If bloodshed were neces sary to pay the price of their evolu tion. Europe was shedding blood dally to settle its problems, he sal I. and Mexico should be allowed the chance to enfranchise Itself In the hard school of experience. The president spoke of the oppor tunity for business men. telling of the achievements of congress In the fight to make business ways better and clearer and touched on the bright In dustrial prospects That the i/nlted States will ulti mately stand as the mediator in the great European war was another con viction expressed by the president. He pointed to the future, when the nstlons of the earth shall recognise America's position and attitude and come to the western giant with their mediation plans A federal employment bureau and reform In court procedure advanced ky the president were the two new questions taken up In his address. It was understood Friday night that he would press both subjects on congress at the earliest pemtble opportunity. The president said in part: "Gov. Ralston. Ladies and Gentle men: You have given me a most royal welcome, for which I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is rather lonely living in Washington. 1 have been confined for two years at hard labor and even now I feel that I am simply out on parole. You notice that one of the most distinguished members of the United States senate is here to see that I go back. And yet, with sincere apologies to the Sen ate and House of Representatives, I want to say that I draw more inspira tion from you than I do from them. "They, like myself, are only ser vants of the people of the United States. Our sinews consist in your sympathy and support, and our re newal comes from contact with yru. and with the strong movements of public opinion In this country. That is the reason why I for one would prefer that our thoughts should not too often cross the ocean but should centre themselves upon the policies and duties of the United States. If we think of the United States, when the time comes we shall know this country can serve the world. I will borrow a very interesting phrase from a distinguished ge&tleman of my ac quaintance and beg that you will keep your moral powder dry. ‘ Jackson a Forthright Man. “But I have come here on Jackson day. If there are Republicans pres ent I hope they will feel the compel- ing Influences of such a day. There was nothing mild about Andrew Jack- son; that Is the reason I spoke of the ‘CompeHlng influences of the day.’ Andrew Jackson was a forthright man who believed everything he did be lieve in fighting earnest. And really, ladies and gentlemen, in public life that is the only sort of man worth thinking about for a moment. “If I was not ready to fight for everything I believe in, I would think It ~my duty to go back and take a back seat. I like, therefore, to breathe the air of Jackson day. I like to be reminded of the old mili tant hosts of Democracy which I be lieve come to life'again in our time. “The United States had almost for gotten that it must keep its fighting ardor in behalf of mankind when An drew Jackson became president; and yea will notice that whenever the United States forgets its ardor for mankind a Democrat is elected pres ident. The trouble with the Republi can party is that it has not had a new Man for II yearn. I am not speak- tag as a pottttdaa; I aa J have bake la thh reeorde aad I Mt found any proceeding from the Republican rankh.’’ The president added that the Re publican party had had leaden who suggested new ideas, “but I have tried to carry them out,” aad con tinued: Hole tor the Guay. "I would not speak with disrespect of the Republican pasty. I always speak wUb great- respect of the past. The pgst was necessary to the pres ent, and was a sure retrospection of the future. The Republican party is still a covert and a refuge for those who are afraid-—for those who want to consult their grandfathers about everything. . . . “You will see, therefore, that I have come to you in the spirit of Jackson day. I got tired of staying in Washington and saying sweet things. I wanted to come out and get In contact with you once more and say what I really thought. “My friends, what I particularly want you to observe is this, that politics in this country does not de pend any longer upon the regular members of either party. There are not enough regular Republicans in this country to take and hold na tional power; and I must Immediately -^dd there are not enough regular Democrats in this country to do it either.. “This country is guided and its policy is determined by the independ ent voter; and I have come to ask you how we can best prove to the in dependent voter that the instrument he needs is the Democratic party and that it would be hopeless for him to attempt to use the Republican party. 1 do not*b«ve to prove it; I admit it.” Why Democracy Excels. Declaring that only one-third of the Republican party was progressive and that about two-thirds of the Democratic party was progressive, the president said "the independent pro gressive voter finds a great deal more company in the Democratic ranks than in the Republican ranks. “I say a great deal more.” he con tinued, "because there are Democrats who are sitting on the breeching- strap; there are Democrats who are holding back. There are Democrats who are nervous. I dare say they were born with that temperament. And I respect the conservative tem per. I claim to be an animated con servative myself. . t . All the foVces of America are forces In action or else they are forces of inertion. “What I want to point out to you. and I believe that this is whst the whole country is beginning to per celve, is this, that these is a larger body of men in the regular ranks of the Democratic party who believe in the progressive policies of our day . . . than there Is In the ranks of the Republican party. How can you be otherwise, gentlemen? The Dem ocratic party and only the Democratic party has carried out the policies which the progressive people of this country have desired There Is not a stogie great act of this present great congress which has not been carried out In obedience to the public opinion of America. . . . The Ctwey Relief. “Let me Instance a Single thing: I want to ask the business men here present If this Is not the first Janu ary In their recollection that did not bring a money stringency for the time being, because of the necessity of pay ing out great sums of money by way of dividends and the other settle ments which come at the first of the year? I have asked the bankers If that happened this year and they say. ‘No It did not happen; It could not happen under the federal reserve set.’ We have emancipated the credits of this country. . . . “I have taken a long time, ladles and gentlemen, to select the federal trade commission because I wanted to choose men and be sure that 1 had chosen men who would be really ser viceable to the business men of this country, great as well gs smalt, the rank and file. These things have been done and will never be undone. They were talked about and talked about with futility until a Democratic con gress attempted and achieved them. “But the Democratic party is not to suppose that it is done with the business. The Democratic party is still on trial. This country is not go ing to use any party that can not do continuous and consistent team work. If any group of men should dare to break the solidarity of the Democratic team for any purpose or from any motive, theirs will be a most unenvi able notoriety and a responsibility which will bring deep bitterness to them. The only party that is service able to a nation is a party that can bold absolutely together and inarch with the discipline and with the est a conquering host. Promises Good Results. “I am not saying these things be cause I doubt that the Democratic party will be able to do these things, but because I believe that as leader for the tfme being of that party I am promise the country that it will do these things. . . . After paying tribute to the two Democratic senators from Indiana and to his colleagues at Washington, the president emphasized the neces sity of team work, saying that was what the people demanded, and add ing: - - “If a man will not play in the team, then he does not belong on the team. "Now, what, Is their duty? You say, ‘Hasn’t this congress carried out a great program? Yes, it has car ried out a great program. It has had the most remarkable record that any congress since' the Civil War has had. . - . . But we are living at an extra ordinary moment. The world has never been in the condition that it is in now, my friends. Only America among the great powers, of the^tvorld is free'to govern her own li^e; and all the world is looking to America to serve its economic need, and while this is happening what is going on? A Greet Emergency. « “Do you know, gentlemen, that the oeean freight rate# have gone up in some tielancee to ten timae their erdlnary figure? And that the farm ers of the United Statee, thoee who raise grain end thoee who raise eet- of the great price# that they i Ing to pay (fir these things are will- | tag to pay (fir these things on the ether side of the see, because the whole profit is eaten up by the extor tionate charges for ocean carriage? In the midst of this the Democrats propose e temporary measure of re lief In that shipping b!Jl.> “The merchants and the farmers of this country most here ships to cayry their goods, and just a^ the present moment there Is no other wr.y of getting them than through the in strumentality that is suggested in the shipping bill; end I hear it said in Washington on all hands that the Re publicans in the, United States mean to talk enough to make the passage of that bill impossible. “These self-styled friends of busi ness, these men who say the Demo cratic party does not know what to do for business, are saying that the Democrats shall do nothing for bus iness. . . . Who commissioned them, a minority, a lessening minority? For they will be in a greater minority In the next Senate than in this. You know it is the peculiarity of that great body that It has rules of pro cedure which make It possible for a minority to defy the nation. . . . Their credentials as friends of busi ness and friends of America will be badly discredited if they succeed. Wishes Them Well. “If I were speaking from a self ish, partisan position, I could v.-K> nothing better than they could show their time colors as partisans and suc ceed. But I am not quite so malevo lent as that. . . . But the great voice of America ought to make them understand what they are said to be attempting now. . . '. "The Democratic party knows how to serve business in this country, and its future program is a program of service. We have cleared the decks. We have laid the lines now upon which business that was to do the country harm shall be stopped and an economic control whi h was in tolerable shall be broken up. We have emancipated America, but Amer ica must do something with her free dom. "There are great.bills pending in the United States Senate Just now~ that have been passed by the House of Representatives, which are intend ed as constructive measures in be half of business—one great measure which will make availcble the enor mous water powers of this country for the industry of it; another bill which will unlock the resources of the public domain which the Repub licans desire to have locked up so that nobody could use them “The reason I say the Republicans have not bad s new idea in 30 years Is that they have not known how to do anything except to sit on the lid. Now, after you can release the stream so that it will drive great industries, it is not necessary to sit on the lid. Whst we are trying to do In the greet conservation bill Is to carry out for the first time In the history of tha United Statee a system by which the great resources of this country can be used . . . Few Reel Patriots. “Do not misunderstand me. There are some men on that side of the chamber who understand the value of these things and are standing valiant ly by them but they are a small minority. “But the majority that Is standing by them Is on our side ef the cham ber and they are the friends of Amer ica. Hut there are other things which we have to do. . . . “Don’t you think it would be a S retty good Idea for the Democratic arty to undertake s systematic method of helping the workingmen of America? ... if you were sim ply to establish s greet federal em ployment bureau It would do s vast deal; by the f&deral sgenclee which spread over this country men could be directed to those parts of the country, to those undertakings, to thpse tasks, where they could find profitable employment. The labor of this country needs to be guided from opportunity to opportunity. We proved it the other day. “We are told that in two states of the union 30,000 men were needed to gather the crops. We suggested in a cabinet meeting that the department of labor should have printed Infor mation about this In this form that It would be posted urt’ to the post offices all over the United States; and that the department of labor should get in touch with the labor departments of states, so that notice could go out from them. What was the result? Those 30,000 were found and sent to the places where they got profitable employment. I do not know any one thffig that has hanpened In my administration that made me feel happier than that. . . . Must Speed Justice. “I am not one of those who doubt either the industry or the learning or the integrity of the courts of the United States, but I do know that they have a very antiquated way of doing business, . . . and say that It Is an immediate and an imperative call upon us to rectify It. because the speediness of justice, the Inexpensive ness of Justice, the ready recess of justice, Is the greater part of Justice Itself. If you have to be rich to get justice because of the c.st of the very process itself, then there is no justice at all. . . . “And then there is something (else. The Democrats have heard the' Re publicans talking about the scientific way in which to hhndle a tariff, though the Republicans have never given any exhibition of a knowledge of how to handle it scientifically. If It Is scientific to put additional pro fits Into the hands of those who are already getting the greater part of the profits, then they have been ex ceedingly scientific. . . That kind of science I do not care to know any thing about except, enough to stop It. But If by scientific treatment of the tariff they mean adjustment to the actual trade conditions of Ameri ca and the world, then I am with them; aad I want to call attention . ... to the fact that the bill which creates the new trade commission does that very thing. . : . The Red Deafcfcratam. “That commission to authorised to. Inquire Into and not only upon all the • ' try. bat upon the conditions of trade, the boat of maaafactqre, the cost of transportation—ell the things that enter Into the question of thsutarlff —in foreign countries as well as in the United States, and Into all those questions of foreign combinations which affect international trade be tween Europe and the United States. It has the full power which will guide congress in the scientific treat ment of questions of international trade. Being by profession a school master, I am glad to point that out to the class of uninstnictcd Republi cans, though I have not allrays taught in the primary grade. “At every turn the things that the Progressive Republicans have pro posed that were practicable, the Dem ocrats either have done or are imme diately proposing to do. . . . There are things that the Progressive pro gram contained which we, being con stitutional lawyers, happened to know can not be done by the congress of the United States. That is a detail which they seem to have overlooked. But so far'as they can be done by state legislation, I for one, speaking for one Democrat, am heartily In fav or of their being done. . . . “Just before I came away from Washington I was going over some of the figures of the last elections, the elections of November 'last. The of ficial returns have not all come in yet. . but so far as they have- come in they have given me this -‘Useful informa- ‘ tion, . . that if it hod been a presidential - year th6 Democrats would have had a majority of about 80 in the electoral college. The Big Meaning. "Fortunately or unfortunately, this is not a presidential year; but, the thing is significant to me for this rea son: A great many people have been speaking of the Democratic party as a minority party. Well, if it is, it is not so much of a minority party as the Republican, and as between the minorities I think we can claim to belong to the larger minority. The moral of that Is . . . that neither party in its regular membership has a majority. 1 do not want to make the independent voter too proud of liUnself, but 1 have gat to admit that he is our boss; and 1 am bound to admit that the things that he wants are, so far as 1 have seen them men tioned. things that I want. "I am not an Independent voter, but I hope 1 can claim to be an inde pendent person, and—I want to say this distinctly—I do not love any party any longer than It continues to serve the Immediate pressing needs of America. 1 have been bred in the Democratic party, but I love America a great deal more than I love the Democratic party, and when the Democratic party thinks that it Is an end to Itself, then 1 rise np and dis sent. It Is a means to an end, and Us power depends, and ought to de pend. upon its showing that it knows what America needs, and if ready to give it what it needs. That to the reason I say to the tndependeet voter, you have got us in th% palm of yonr hand. 1 do not happen to be one of yonr number, but 1 recognise your supremacy; 1 reed the election re turns and I have this ambition, my Democratic friends—I can avow U on Jackson day: Wants Them AH. "I want to make epery independ ent voter In this county a Democrat. It Is a little cold and lonely oat where he to. because, though he holds the balance of power, he la not the ma jority, and 1 want him to come in where It Is warm I want him to come In where there is a lot of good society, good citizenship, where there are greet emotions. That Is what I miss In the Republican party; they do not seem to have any great emotions. They seem to think s Tot of things, old things, but they do not seem to have any enthusiasm about anything. “Now there Is one thing I have got s great enthusiasm about, I might almost say a reckless enthusiasm, and that Is human liberty.. The gov ernor has Just now spoken about watchful waiting In Mexico. I want to say a word about Mexico, or not so much about Mexico as about our atti tude toward^ Mexico. I hold it as a fundamental principle and so do you, that every people has the right to de termine in its form of government; and until this recently revolution In Mexico, until the end of the Diaz reign, 80 per cent, of the people in Mexico never had a ‘look In’ In de termining who should be their gov ernors or what their government should be. For Submerged Eight-tenths. "Now I am for the 80 per cent. It is none of my business, and it is none of your business how long they take in determining it. It is none of my business, and it is none of your’s how they go about the business. The country is theirs. The government is theirs. The liberty, if they can get it—and God speed them in getting it —is theirs. And so far as my In fluence goes while I am president, no body shall interfere with them. “That is what I mean by a great emotion, the great emotion of sym pathy. Do you suppose that the American people are ever going to count a small amount of material benefit and advantage to people do ing business in Mexico against the liberties and the permanent happi ness of the Mexican nation. Have not European nations taken as long as they wanted and spilt as much blood as they pleased in settling their af fairs and shall we deny that to Mex ico because she is weak? No; I Say! I am proud to belong to a strong na tion that says: ‘This country, which we could crush, shall have juSu as much freedom in her own affairs as we have.’ If I am strong, I am ashamed to bully the weak. In pro portion to my strength is my pride In- withholding that strength from the oppression of another people. The American Spirit. “And I know when I speak the things (not merely from the generous response with which they have Just met from yon. but from my long time knowledge of the American people) that that to the esentlment of the American people.' “With all dee respect to editors ef grant newspapers. I have te any to that 1 never take my eptnlno ef dsiliee not vary far from where I am temporarily residing thundered with rising scorn at watshfal waiting, Woodrow sat back la his chair and chuckled, knowing that he laughs best who laughk last; knowing, la short, what were the temper aad principles of the American people. If I did not think I knew. 1 would emi grate, because I would not be satis fied to stay where I am. There may come a time when the American peo ple will have to judge whether I know what I am talking about or not. But at lep^t for two years more I am free to think that I do, with a great com- fott in immunity for the time being. “It is, by the, way, a very comfort ing thought that the next congress of GOVERNMENT LAB REPORT BT Cotton Crop Has B< Ever Before Crop' Recent Tear*.

Only Its Fears, "I have been talking with business men recently about the present state of mind of American business. There Is nothing the matter with American business except a state of mind. "I understand that your chamber of commerce here in Indianapolis is working now upon the motto: ‘If you are going to buy it, buy It now.’ “That is a perfectly safe maxim to act on. It is just as safe to buy it now as ever will be, and if you start the buying there will be no end to it, and you will be a seller as well as a buyer. I am just as sure of that as I can be because I have taken connsel with the men who know. . . I have looked on and tried to see what the interests of the country were In business, and I have taken counsel with men who did know and their counsel is uniform and all that Is needed ill America now Is to believe In the future, and I can assure you as one of those who speak for I he Demo cratic party that it Is perfectly safe to believe in the future. We are so much the friends of business that we were for a little time the enemies of those who were trying to control bus iness. 1 say for a little time, because we are now reconciled to them They have graciously admitted that we had s right to do whst we did do. and they have very handsomely said that they were going to play the game Red to be Hharp. “I believe that sway behind Ameri can baslness men were absolutely sound nt heart, bat men immersed in business do e lot of things that op portunity offers to do which in other circumstances they would not do. and I have thought all along that all that was necessary to do was to coll their attention sharply to the kind of re forms In business which were a seas aery and that they would acquiesce and I believe they have heartily ac quiesced There Is all the mors rea son therefore that, groat sad small, we should be coefldaat In the future.
