intensely practical question connect?-?! with the future fortune? of
nations anr! of mankind
I have spoken upon these great matters without reserve and with
the utmost explicitness because it has seemed to me to be necessary
if Um world's yearning desire for peace was anywhere to find free
voice and utterance. Perhaps I am the only person in high authority
among all the p??opies of the world who is at liberty to speak and
bold nothing back.
1 am speaking as an individual, nnd yet I am speaking; also, of
course, as the responsible head of a gnat government, antl I feel con?
fident that I have said what the people of the United States would
wish me to say. May I not add tha* I hope and believe that I am in
effect ?peaking for liberals and friend? of human'ty in every nation
and of ?very programme of liberty?
I would fain believe that I am speaking for the silent mass of
munkiml everywhere who have as yet had no place or opportunity to
speak their real hearts out concerning the death and ruin they soe
to have come already upon the persons ami the homes they hold most
dear.
Sees World-Wide Monroe Doctrine
And in holding out the expectation that th??- people and govern?

a lullilmeiit. rath?!, of all that WO have prufi-s-eil or striven for.
I am proposing, as il were, that the nation-; should with OOC
act oi'l adopt the doctrine of President Monroe a* the doctrine of the
world; that no nn'iot. should seek to extend [tl polity over any other
nation m people, but that every people should be left tree t?i deter?
mine its own policy, its own way of ?lewlopmont, unhindcrc?!, u-i
:hi ?at?*iir<l, unafraid, the little along with the great and powerful.
I am proposing that all nations henceforth avoid entangling
alliHtici'S which would draw them into comp?titions of power, catch
them in a n?*t of intrigue and selfish rivalry, and disturb their own
affairs with influences intruded from vit.houl. There [| im entangling
alliance in a concert of power. When all unite to act in the same sens??

Safet}-- for Over fjBf
Half a Billion Passengers
The Sttmi Car koala
For y?ara the Pennsylvania Railroad
System lias been conducting an ener?
getic campaign of safety.
Ob.) all-ited cara have been huilt. Efficiency tosis
have boon established: safoty-fhst exposilions
llave linon hold for the education and instruc
ion of trainmon; lafet) committees have been
organized; and over 120.000 safety text-books
have been printed and diftribuled to employ?es.
It is the logical result of this safety movement
that during the past three years over half a
billion passengers 553,890,063 more than
five times the total population of the United
States have been carried over the lines of
the Pennsylvania Railroad System without
the loss of the life of a single passenger in
a train accident. On the Pennsylvania Rail?
road east of Pittsburgh a perfect record for
four years has been made, during which a total
of 616,626,957 passengers were safely carried.
Thia remarkable result is gratifying and encouraging,
and with the continued co-operation of our faith?
ful employees, to whom groat rredit is duo. ?re
hope to maintain the record we have ostablishod.
