voices Joined Acting Mayor Freeman introduced I President Roosevelt who spoke as follows fol-lows SPEECH AT PROVIDENCE Wo are passing through a period of great material prosperity and such a 110 rlod Is as sure as adversity Itself to bring inuttcrhibs of discontent At a time I when moat men prosper somewhat It always happens lhat a few men prosper greatly and it ia as true now as ll wan TIUMI the tower of Slloam foil upon all who wero under It that xood fortune does not come only lo lie Just nor bad fortune only to the unjust When the woathor Is good for crops it Is also u < 5od for weeds Moreover More-over not only do the wicked nourish when hue times are sum cii t hint 111011 men flourish flour-ish but whut Is worse the spirit of unvy and JeUlousy and hatred springs up In the breasts of thOSe who lhoph they mi he doing fairly well thcmsolvrs jutSfn olhcru who arc no more deserving doing far better DEPENDS UPON INDIVIDUAL Wise laws and fearless and upright administration ad-ministration of tho laws can give the opportunity op-portunity for such piospcrlty as hunt we see about us But this Is all that they cun do When the conditions have been created which make prosperity poiiidbl > then each Individual man must achieve It for hhnuclf by his own thrift intelligence intelli-gence energy Industry and resolute purpose pur-pose If 1 when people wax fill they kick they will speedily destroy their own prosperity pros-perity If thoy RO Into wild speculation and lose their heads they have lost that which no explanation can supply and the business voild will suffer In consequence If in a s > hlt of million envy they insist upon pulling down those who have profited most by the years of fatness thcv will bury themselves In the crash of common disaster It Is difficult to make our material ma-terial condition better by the bent laws but It Is Posy enough by bad laws to thiow the whole Nation into tin abyss of misery WHAT IS NEEDED Now the upshot of till this Is that It Is peculiarly liictimbentnipou us In a time of such material I wellhelnvr both as a Nation Na-tion and individually each In bin own account to show that wo iou eas tIm qualities of

evils Only lot us be huie that wo do not use the knife of the lyimrunt seal which would untIe It more dangerous to the patient pa-tient limn to the disease ONE GREAT DANGER One of the dangers of the tremendous Industrial growth of the last generation has been the very great increase hi large private and especially In law corporate fortunes Wo may like this or not Just as we please but ir i IP a fact novorthclets and as far as we can see It Is an inevitable inev-itable result of the worklnir of various causes prominent among which has been the immense importance steam and electricity elec-tricity have assumed In modern life It IH not triifi that the poor people have grown pnorar but some of the rich have Grown so very much richer that where multitudes of men arc herded together In a limited snaco the contrast strikes the onlooker ns more violent than formerly LIVE BETTER THAN EVEU On the whole our people earn more antI live bettor than ever before and the prog resu of which ve

to monopoly which we have grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts aid the creatures of the State and the I State not only has the right to P control them but Ir In duty bound to control them wherever lie I need for such control la shown Ihure Is I clearly clear-ly a need of supervision n cd lo exercise ho power of regulation t on the part of the repustntailvs of m the public wherever aa In our own country at tho present lime business corporations become no very strong both for bonellclcut work and for work that In not always beneficial It Is Idle to say U5jit there Is no need for nuch supervision A suflkMtnl warrant for 11 In to be found over and over ntcaln In any of Ihe various evils icsiiltlng fiom the present synteni or rather lack of system CONDITIONS ARE COMPLICATED There Is In our country a peculiar difficulty diffi-culty in tho wav of exercising such supervision super-vision and control because of the peculiar division oj governmental power When Ihe Industrial I condition were simple very little control was needed and no trouble was cauaod by thin doubt as to whcro power wis lodged under the Con stit it ion Now conditions arc complicated compli-cated and we hid It dlftleiilt to framu national legislation which shall bo adequate ade-quate while as a matter of practical experience ex-perience State action has proved entirely insufficient and In nil humui

NATION MUST ASSUME CONTROL 1 I believe that hue Nation must assume this power of control by leslslallon and If It becomes evident lint the Constitution Constitu-tion will nol permit ncedd legislation

alU lanco and In whose courts the sovpreipivV orders may with certainty bo enforced Thin Is not the case with the ordinary socalled trust today for the rust Is a largo State corporation generally doing busl itO3 in other Stales also and often with 1di tendency I to monopoly Such a trust t is an artificial credit me not wholly icsnon slblo to or controllable by any Legislature Legisla-ture nor wholly subject to the Jurisdiction of anv ono court Some governmental sovereign must be Riven full power over there artificial and very powerful corporation cor-poration brings la I my Judgment this I sovereign must be the National Government Govern-ment VJien R ha been given full power I In M his full power can bo used to control con-trol nny evil Influence exactly as lie Government IB now uslasi the power conferred con-ferred upon it under the Sherman antitrust anti-trust law Even when hue Cull power has been conferred It would be highly undesirable unde-sirable lo attempt too much or to

Hint this I power should bo possessed pos-sessed by the Naliou but It Is quite as desirable lint the power should bo exorcised ex-orcised with moderation and selfre straint The first ecrcle of that power should bo the securing of publicity among all great corporations dolm an Interstate Inter-state business The publicity though noninqulHltorlal should be real and thorough thor-ough as to ill important facts with which the public has concern DISCOURAGER OP EVIL The full light of day Is a srciit discourager discour-ager of evil Such publicity would by Itself tend to correct tin evils of
