nf the canal. Now the canal is
within two years of being finish-
Ta and the debate goes on about
^%vith fitful energy and long
after the canal is finished and I
rm dead the debate will continue,
and I thought that was a good
forking compromise. We got
the canal and our opponents got
he debate/'..
In emphasizing the demands
of his platform, one which he
said stood for justice and for ef
ficiency, Colonel Roosevelt said:
“We belieye that this govem-
nient should be potent to protect
the rights of all of us abroad a-
gainst any foreign foe, and po
tent to protect the rights of us
at home against any minority
that attempts to do wrong. Our
opponents, Mr. Taft and others,
have professed great fear of the
tyranny of the majority. When
ever there is tyranny of the ma-
ioritv 1 will protest against it,
for I v.ill protest against all ty-
'•ar.nv, but the American people
now are suffering not from tyran
ny by the majoi’ity, but from
tvranny by the minority. It is
a minority that stands behind
the sale of adulterated foods and
adulterated drugs; it is a minori
ty that profits by exploiting the
labor of women and children, or
by making their wage workers
toil under unhealthy conditions
for hours so long as to bring ut
ter exhaustion; it is the minority
that stands behind the great evil
trusts that are guilty of anti
social conduct it is the minority
that is grabbing the forests and
warerpowers of the streams for
their benefit, that tries to seize
for the benefit of a few the re
sources of the country to which
ail of us have a right; it is the
minority that stands entrenched
tehind the forms of law and
gives us an empty legalistic for
mula when we demand justice.
We have to fear not majorities
now, but minorities.’'
In the Titanic disaster Colonel
Roosevelt found a timely exam
ple for the need of a workman’s
compensation act, a law which
would give widows and orphans
of bre»i-eamers some form of
relief when they were suddenly
left destitute. He criticised the
action of New York judged who
declared such an act unconstitu
tional. “Take the Titanic dis
aster for an example, " he said.
“That was an English ship,
bound for the port of New York.
“I see in the papers that the
widows and orphans who went
down in her will receive com
pensation for death of the bread
winner. They have done that
act of justice in England, as
they have in Germany and in
France, in Canada and in some
of our own states,
but my own state of Ne\ir
York has not done such an act
of justice. If instead of being
an English vessel that had been
a New York vessel, , owned in
New York, the widows and or
phans of those sailers would
have crone penniless, would )-•
have had a dollar given to thejn.
the whole burden would haw
been put upion shoulders least
able to bear it. And why? Be
cause when we, the people of
New York, passed a workmen’s
compensation act, the judges of
our Court of Appeals d4.cliuta
that it was unconstitutional, that
the people of New York did not
have power to do justice in that
case. I do not question their
motives. They know law, but
they do not know life. There is
not one of them who has among
his friends a wage-worker, who
knows, as I know, families where
I have seen, when the brakeman
lost his leg, the wife next winter
could not he able to go out on the
streets because she could not
buy'shoes for herself if the shoes
necessary for the children to go
to school in were purchased.
“They have not visualized to
themselves what such denial of
justice as they were guilty of
means to the unfortunate. The
United States Supreme court had
?aid that we could have that law
lor the nation. We can have it
in Iowa, the courts of Iowa say;
we can have it in Washington
state. The state court has said
we can and the New York judges
these nice elderly gentlemen, say
that the ten million people of New
iork shall not do justice in such
a matter, with the result that
you have this condition in New
York; that a New Yorker who is
brakeman on a railway running
through New York from Massa-
^husetts to Pennsylvania, under
t*^e decision of the supreme court
^nnot recover compensation if
ne IS damaged, but his brother
who IS on a trolley line in New
Vf, t^hat does not go out
01 the state can.
‘The Supreme couit has held
the identical language meant that
one man can recover damag
has held
.identical language fordids
^e other man from recovering
damages. I regard that as a
travesty on justice. I am for
justice, and for taking whatever
steps are nocessary to secure it
claim that the people who make
the constitution in the last resort
aper due time for deliberation
snail have the power to express
their sober judgment as to what
the constitution that they made
means. I claim that the people
better able to say how justice
shall come than any small body
of men are able to say for them
how justice shall come. I am
not speaking of cases just be
tween man and man. I am not
speaking of cases under the Fed
eral law, but I am speaking of
cases where the State court says
that the people, under the peo
ple’s power or general welfare
clause have not the power to do
justice in such a case as that I
quote, because the constitution
that the people made to get jus
tice forbids them to get justice,
and when that is the case I hold
that we should resort to the ref
erendum and appeal to the pow
er that is greater than any ser
vant of the people—to the people
themselves. I hold that .when
the Legislature, one servant to
the people, decides one way in
such a case, and the couri, anoth
er servant of the people, decides
another way in a case, then after
due deliberation, after ample
time for a soler judgment, the
sober judgment of the people
shall prevail and shall be imposed
upon their servant the Legisla
ture, and their servant the court,
’ ‘And friends I have a right to
make that appeal in North Caro
lina, in the state where the Meck
lenburg declaration of indepen
dence was made, in the state
where at the battle of Alamance
the Regulators fought the troops
of Governor Tryon, the tory gov
ernor; in the state where i| has
been peculiarly s the doctrine of
the people that the people them
selves shall ru' that the people
themselve?=! - iicans, as typ
ical Amer. were potent to
rule their owu destinies.”
Colonel Roosevelt’s closing
word was a tribute to the Ameri
can woman, whom he declared
to be even a “better fellow”
than the American man. The
words of his concluding para-
gn:tiph were:
“In dosing I only want to say
just this. I know our people
pretty well’ It has been my for
tune to live with them, to work
with thern in many different
places; I know them from the
Atlantic to tne Pacific, and from
tiie Great Lakes to the Guif, and
the thing that strikes me most
as 1 meet my fellow Americans
is not the trivial points o differ
ence between tiiem but the great
iaiidamentai underlying likeness
es among them, and I base my
oeli:f m the future upon my be-
.ici tiiiic the average American
a. pretty good fellow, and his
•vile IS a sti'l better fellow.”
