ROOSEVELTS GREAT SPEECH
By Dr George Elliott Howard
To the student of polirical science and social progress the
speech of Theodore Kocsevelt before the Ohio constitution
ad convention is an event of first rate signiificaince In the
hfiiiipry of American polities -when -weighed in all its bearings
tlvs address is one of the rare utterances -which great crises in
nit tonal thought produce It is the greatest message -which its
r thor has ever sent to the American peoiple
In recant years the leading ideas of two of the founders
01 our republic have found re mrkable expounders Mr Bry
ar as a prcfc sd dissiiple has wijh all his force accentuated
Thcanas Jclfeiscn s faith in d acjK sy his absolute reli
ance on tdie ahlity of the people to rule themselves In the
view cf Jefferson and his disciple the medicine for the ills
cf democracy ir more dcmcciaev and to safeguard the in
tercuts cf the people our shevt anehor s state rather
tlan the centialized federal power
On the other ihand the loftiest ideal of Alexander Hamil
ton was the fostering and development of the spirit of na
tionality of national patriotism a sentiment very much need
ed in the decade following the close of the war of inde
pendence To realize a true spirit of nationalism Hamilton
would have strengthened the federal government even if
need be the states must be reduced to the position of mer
iJiiUiiitive districts
o far as the ideal of nation 1Wm is concerned Roosevelt cs
fie greatest disciph of Hamilton Never in times of peace
hi3 the clicef executive of the nailiion -taken so active a part as
a real dynamic directive governing force as diel Roosevelt
during bja eight years as president Thus far those years
mark tihe culmination of the expanding power of the federal
stite and how vastly greater and more complex are the func
tions of all -governments now as compared wMi those of 1800
Yet Roosevelt unlike Hamilton would -not have been will
ing consciously to weaken the t te to devitalize ithe local
organs of self government The nation builder confesses a
faoth in the people a trust in democracy wMeh in that re
gard shews him to be a disciple of Jefferson whether or
not he be cansccous of the fact The initiative the referen
dum direct primary the papular election of senators even
the- recall of judges what a program of radical democracy
Add to tihjiB the acceptance a fewldays ago of equal suffrage
Here is a statesman nourished in an eastern environment
who can rise to the level of the swiftly mounting democracy
of Uie Pacific coast Here is a man who is growing younger
becoming more virile willh his years For the progressive in
political and soeial ideals this epoch making utterance is full
of inspiration It breeds hope It means that reason will tri
umiph that it is gaining the victory
Here is a man who has made mistakes who sometimes has
beea unjust who occasionally has been violent whose ieleals
of mbtarism and the chase are not m harmony with modern
humanism whom nome of us have not been able to vote for
yet he stands before us as an lion est and brave man a man
who is not asihamcxL to change and grow in political idealsj
-with his increasing experience-
The world respects a man who fthoiugih -he may sometjianejs
think wrongly yet whetQier right or wrong thinks with litis
own mind Clearly Theodore Roosevelt does net live in a
rented or borrowed mind but in one winch is lias very own
an fee simple according to natures Id gh est title If the people
are permitted to decide y esterday s speech will make him
the next president
