After expressing his pleasure at being here as the guest of the "wage-earner" he defined his position as regards the trusts and monopolies in an emphatic manner, decrying the rich man who complains of the enforcement of the laws of the country on all classes alike. Will Enforce Laws. "Incidentally," the President added, "whether he acquiesces in the en­ forcement of the laws or not, the laws will be enforced."

In his address the President said: "Mr. Chairman and you, my fellow citizens, it would have been a great pleasure to have come to Butte in any event, but it is a double pleasure to come here at the invitation of rep­ resentatives of the wage-workers of •-Butte. I do not say merely 'workiug- men,' but I hold that every good Amer­ ican who does his duty must be a worklngman. There are many differ­ ent kinds of i work to be done, but so long -as the work Is honorable, is necessary and is well done, the man who does It well is entitled to the respect of his fellow citizens. "I haye come here to this meeting especially as the guest, the invited guest of the wage-workers, and I am happy to be able to say that the kind of speech I will make to you I would make Just in exactly the same lan­ guage to any group of employers or to any set of our citizens in any cor­ ner of this republic. [Applause.] "Ours Is a government of liberty through and under the law. No man is above it and no man is below It. The crime of cunning, the crime of greed, the crime of violence are all equally crimes, and against them all alike the law must set its face. "This is not and never shall be a government of the plutocracy or the mob. It is, as it has been, and as it will be, a government of the peo­ ple, including alike the people of great wealth, of moderate wealth, the peo­ ple who employ others, the people who are employed, the wage-worker, the lawyer, the mechanic, the banker, th<b farmer, including them all, protecting each and every one if he acts decent­ ly and squarely, and discriminating against any one of them, no matter from what class he comes, If he does not act squarely and fairly, if lie does not obey the law. Justice fOr All. "While all people are foolish If they violate or rebel against the law, wicked as well as foolish, but all fool­ ish, yet the most foolish man in this republic is the man of wealth who complains because the law Is admin­ istered with impartial Justice against or for him. His folly is greater than the folly of any other man who so com­ plains, for he lives and moves and has his being because the law does in fact protect him and his property. We have the right to ask every decent American citizen to rally to the sup­ port of the law if it is ever broken against the Interest of the rich man, and we have the same right to ask that rich man cheerfully and gladly to acquiesce In the enforcement, against his seeming Interest, of the law, If It Is the law. Incidentally, whether he acquiesces or not, the law will be enforced. Whoever he may be, whether his offense take the shape of a crime of greed and cunning, or whether it take the shape of a phys­ ical violence, if It is an offense against the law, it must be- stopped, and. If need be, punished." A college for the Mennonlte people of the United States and Canada Is to be located at Goshen, Ind. Lena Broyhill of Kansas City se­ cured a judgment of $12,500 against H. B.
