The colonel walked ai roaa the front
ltngth of tha liftle platform. striding
n-ith a.l his oMttme trigor. Ortainly
there wae no deCTOB-M "if power in his
walk, and the crowd. which had been
cheering madly since thf llash outalde
gave warning of hls approach. broke
out in a redonbled roar.
Roosevelt smiled.
He looked out across the Garden with
a welcome, toothsome smile for all;
then he brought his gazo around to th.'
platform, then to thc lloor just tielow
him. Here he bestowed those personal
greetings to individuaia whom he ret
ognixed in the crowd. both on platform
and floor, which are so well known.
Nothing in that wild welcome es
caped him. He took its full fotce and
then he took its fragments, and to both
crowd and IndividualB he returned his
thanka by smile and greeting.
Aiter standing w.thuut a move for
Lhree mlnutes he then seemed to tlre a
Uttle. The smile left hls face, and he
looked as if he would llke to have the
crowd Btop.
At the end of six mlnutes some one
thought of stamping hls feet, and a
rumbling roar added a thunderlng
diapaeon to the shriller welcome of the
volces. That brought thc smile bach lo
the oolonel's face.

without interruption from then on.
He enuneiated every eyllable slowly
and dlBtlnctly, without oratorbal ef?
fect and without that high Iremolo
that used to spread paroxyt-ms of
laughter throughout his audiences.
lt was plain that he was making per?
haps the most deliberate, the most
, iir'-ful and the most even tautperad
ftpeech of liis career. The whlte li-rht
of the calolum whbh was held on hlm
throughout his speech showed plainly
that lt was an effort for him. but
whether an effort because of his evl
dent represslon of hia oldtime vigorous
platform method or because of hls
weakness it was hard to dlstlngulsh.
As he got more deeply into his speech
and hls subject hls ( bara. terlstlc ap?
peals to class Kot the better of his re
pression, and he struck out with the
reguiar Uooscveltian vigor.
It was hls most serlous, solemn and
thoughtful appeal to elass?not qulte
the old T. R*. ?*>ut a man ti the same
mould toned down a trlfle by a terrlble

To Fight Koaailized Wrong.
We care for facta and not for for
mulaa. We care for deeda and not for
words. We recogn;ze no aacred right
of oppreasion. We recogmze no divine
right to work injustice. We stand for
the Constitution. We recognize tbat
one of its most usefui functions is the
protection of property. But we will not
consent to make of the Constitution a
fet;ch for the protection of foasilized
wrong. We call the attention of those
who thus interpret it to the fact that in
that great inst.-.*ner.t of .ustice life and
icerty are put on a full level with prop
-rtv, indeed, are enutnerated ahead of it
,n the order of their importance. We
stand for an upnght judiciary. But
where the judges claim the right to
make our laws by finally interpreting
them, by finally deciding whether or not
we have the power to make them, then
we claim the right ourselves to exer
cise that power.

To Strike Down Privilege.
We know that there are in life in*
i justices which we are powerless to
remedy, but we know also that there
is much injustice which can be retne
died, and this injustice we intend to
remedy. We know that the long path
leading upward toward the light cannot
ba traversed at once. or in a day, or in
B year. But there are certain steps
that can be taken at once. These we
intend to take. Then. having taken
these first steps. we shall see more
clearly how to walk still further with
a bolder stride. We do not intend to
attempt the impossible. But there is
much, very much, that is possible lfl
; the way of righting wrong and rerrte
i dying injustice, and all that is possible
j we intend to do. We intend to strike
Idown privilege, to equalize opportunity.
! to wrest iiistice from the hands that
do Injustice. to hearten and strenqthen
; men and women for the. hard battle ot
' life. We stand shouldor to shoulder m
a spirit of real brotherhood. We recoq
inizo no differences of class, creed or
birthplace. We recognize no sectional
