Now the pro- gressi ven ess jthat meets and merits the cordial aproval of these gentle men ' is " not Tlie kind of progressive ness which we on our side champdon. "However good the President's in tentions, I believe that his actions have shown that he is entitled, to the support of precisely these men,' The attitude of the administration with regard to the railroad rate hill was brought under the fire of XJoL Roosevelt. ;He characterized the bill, as submitted .hy the administration as a -"thoroughly naischevkras measure which would have undone the good work ' that has been accomplished in the control of the great railroads during the last twenty years." That the measure did not get on the statute rhooks in the nlanner in which it was sent to Congress, it was stated, was due to the nght made upon, it by the progressive members of the Senate. "They made it a good bill by' striking out the chief features of the hill as the" reactionaries presented it," , said the Colonel. Col. Roosevelt, further prodded the administration of . Mr, Taft for the dilatory tactics used in .dealing with conservation problems. He stated that the" administration Jiad for two year "done everything in its power," to undo the most valuable' work done j in conservation, and especially in se- curing to people the right to regulate water power franchises in the public Interest. Col. .Roosevelt also dealt with the abandonment by Mr. Taft of the tight started by the Colonel, and which the President pledged himself to continue, . to secure social justice in indutrial matters, more particular ly child-labor laws. This legislation was dallied with for three years be fore any action was taken. Com-, mentihg on this, Col. Roosevelt said;! "Alike in Its action and in its in action the conduct of the administra tion during the last three years has been such as to merit the support and the approval of Messrs. Aldrich, Gallinger, Penrose, Xiorimer, Juggen heim,,and the other -gentlemen I have mentioned. I do not wonder that they support it, trat I do not regard . an- administration which has merit ed and which receives, snch support as heing entitled tD call itself pro gressive, no matter with what elasti city the word may he stretched. "No men "have been closer or more interested students of the career of President Taf t than these men ; no men better understand its real signif icance, no men better appreciate what; the effect : of the continuance of this administration for , another four years would mean; I believe that their judgment upon the administration and upon its ntiiruance would mean to the people can he accepted; andI think: their judgement as shown by the ' extreme recklessness' of their actions in trying to secure the Presi dent's nomination,"gives us an accur ate gauge as to what the administra- , -tion merits from the people and what K the action of the people should be-T j Col. Roosevelt made a stirring appeal for fair "play for those to whom for-, tune has not heeii Mnd. v "We fight, he said,. , "to make this country a better place to ive in for those who have been 'harshly treated, -byl fate, and, if we succeed, it- will also be a better place to live in for those who have much" . "None of us can really prosper per manently if masses of, onr fellows , are debased and degraded, If masses Df men and women are ground down and forced to lead starved and sordid lives, so that their souls are crippled like their -bodies and the fine edge of their very feeling blunted." Continuing, the Colonel made the ' following eloquent plea: "I ask that those of US' to whom providence has been kind shall re iBemher that each must be his bro- . ther's "keener and - that all must feel . theirohllgation to the less fortunate who work 'beside us. in the strain and ;. pres of our eager, modern life-, "I ask: justice, for the weak, ior their sakeand -I ask if for the sake & tmr children and onr children s children viu-to come after us.' , -This, country not. he & moox- ;. , , i ".m'mm.m0mMt0m"m,mm0WT - Continued on 4th paSih U. .
