Inaugural Address of Presi

SEASON OF GREAT PROSPERITY
Our Pledge to the People of Cnbn
Insurrection in the Philippines
"Will Be Put Down and the
Islands Developed.
WASHINGTON, March 4. The Inaug
ural address of President MeKinley was
as follows:
My Fellow-Citizens: ' When we assem
bled here on the 4th of March, 1S97, there
vras Great anxiety with regard to our cur
rency and credit: none exlsta now. Then
our Treasury receipts were Inadequate to
meet the current obligations of the Gov
ernment; now they are sufficient for all
public needs, and we have a surplus in
stead of a deficit. Then I felt constrained
to convene the Congress in extraordinary
session to devise revenues to pay the ordi
nary expenses of the Government; now I
have the satisfaction to announce that the
Congress just closed has reduced taxation
In the sum of $1,000,000. Then there
was a deep solicitude because of the
long depression in our manufacturing,
mining, agricultural and mercantile Indus,
tries, and the consequent distress of our
laboring population; now every avenue of
production Is crowded with activity; labor
is well employed and American products
And good markets at noise and abroad.
Our diversified productions, however, are
increasing in such unprecedented volume
as to admonish us of the necessity of still
further enlarging our foreign mar
kets by broader commercial rela
tions. For this purpose reciprocal
trade arrangements with other nations
should in liberal spirit be carefully culti
vated and promoted. The National ver
dict of 18?6 has for the most part been
executed. Whatever remains unfulfilled
Is a continuing obligation resting with
undiminished force upon the Executive
and the Congress. But fortunate as our
condition is. its permanence can only be
assured by sound business methods and
strict economy in National administration
and legislation. We should not permit our
great prosperity to lead us to reckless
ventures In business or profligacy in pub
lic expenditures. While the" Congress de
termines the objects and the sum of ap
propriations, the officials of the Executive
Department are responsible for honest
and faithful disbursement, and it should
be their constant care to avoid waste and
extravagance.
Honesty, capacity and industry are no
where more indispensable than In public
employment These should be funda
mental requisites to original appeal and
the surest guarantees against removal.
Four years ago, we stood on the brink
of war without the people knowing it and
without any preparation or effort at prepa
ration for the impending peril. I did all
that In honor could be done to avert the
war. but without avail. It became Inevit
able, and the Congress, at its first regular
session, without party division, provided
money In anticipation of the crisis and in
preparation to meet it. It came. The
result was signally favorable to American
arms and in the highest degree honorable
to the Government. It Imposed upon us
-obligations from which we cannot escape,
and from which it would be dishonorable
to seek to escape. We are now at peace
with the world, and it is my fervent
prayer that -if differences arise between
us and other powers they may be settled
by peaceful arbitration and that hereafter
we may be spared the horrors of war.
Entrusted by the people for a second
time with the office of President, I enter
upon Its administration appreciating the
great responsibilities'whlch attach to this
renewed honor and commission, promis
ing unreserved devotion on my part to.
their faithful discharge and reverently in
voking for my guidance the direction
and favor of Almighty God, I should
shrink from the duties this day assumed
if I did not feel that in their performance
I should have the co-operation of the wise
and patriotic men of all parties. It en
courages me for the great task which I
now undertake to believe that those who
voluntarily committed to me the trust
imposed upon the Chief Executive of the
Republic will give to me senerous sup
port In my duties to "preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United
States," and to "care that the laws be
faithfully executed."
The National purpose is indicated
through a National election. It Is the
Constitutional method of ascertaining the
public will. When once it is registered it
is a law to all of us and faithful observ
ance should follow Its decrees. Strong
hearts and helpful hands are needed, and
fortunately we have them in every part of
our beloved country. We are reunited.
Sectionalism has disappeared. Division
on public questions can no longer be
traced by the war maps of 1S6L These
old differences less and less disturb the
judgment Existing problems demand
the thought and quicken the conscience as
well, for their righteous settlement rests
upon us all no more upon me than upon
you. There are some Natfonal questions
in the solution of which patriotism should
exclude partisanship.
Magnifying the difficulties will not take
them off our hands nor facilitate their
adjustment. Distrust of the capacity. In
tegrity and high purposes of the Ameri
can people will not be an Inspiring theme
for future political contests. Dark pic
tures and gloomy forebodings are worse
than useless. These only becloud, they
do not help to point the way of safety
and honor. "Hope maketh not ashamed."
The prophets of evil were not the builders
of the Republic, nor in its crises since
have they saved or served It. The faith
of the fathers was a mighty force In Its
creation. and the faith of their descend
ants has wrought Its progress and fur
nished Its defenders. They are obstruc
tionists who despair and who would de
stroy confidence in the ability of our peo
ple to solve wisely and for civilization
the mighty problems resting upon them.
The American people, Intrenched in free,
dom at home, take their love of liberty
with them wherever they go, and they
reject 'as mistaken and unworthy the doc
trine that we lose our own liberties by
securing the enduring foundation of lib
erties to others. Our institutions will not
deteriorate by evasion and our sense of
justice will not abate under tropic suns
in distant seas. As heretofore so hereaf
ter will the Nation demonstrate Its fit
ness to administer any new estate which
events devolve upon it, and in the fear
of God will "take occasion hy the hand
and make the bounds of freedom wider
yet." If there are those among us who
would make our way more difficult, we
must not be disheartened, but the more
earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task
upon which we have rightly entered. The
path of progress Is seldom smooth. New
things are often found hard to do. Our
fathers found them so. We find them
so. They are Inconvenient They cost us
something. But are we not made better
for the effort and .sacrifice, and are not
those we serve lifted up and blessed.
We will be consoled, too, with the fact
that opposition has confronted every on
ward movement of the Republic, from Its
opening hour until now, but without suc
cess. The Republic has marched on and
on and Its every step has exalted freedom
and humanity. We are undergoing the
same ordeal as did our predecessors nearly
a century ago. We are following the
course they blazed. They triumphed. Will
their successors falter and plead organic
impotency in the Nation? Surely after 125
years of achievement for mankind we
will not now surrender our equality with
other powers in matters fundamental and
essential to nationality. Wi.th no such
purpose was the Nation created. In no
such spirit has it developed Its full and
Independent sovereignty. We adhere to
the principle of equality among ourselves,
and by no act of ours will we assign tb
ourselves a subordinate rank in the family
of nations.
The peace which we are pledged to
leave to the Cuban people must carry with
It the guarantees of permanence. We be
came sponsors for the pacification of the
island, and we remain accountable to the
Cubans, no less than to our own coun
try and people, for the reconstruction of
Cuba as a free commonwealth on abiding
foundations of right justice, liberty and
assured order. Our enfranchisement of
the people will not be completed until free
Cuba shall "be a reality, not a name; a
.perfect entity, not a hasty experiment
bearing within itself the elements of fail
ure." While the treaty of peace with Spain
was ratified February C, 1S39, and ratifica
tions were exchanged nearly two yearj
ago, the Congress has indicated no form of
government for the Philippine Islands. It
has, however, provided an army to enable
the Executive to suppress Insurrections,
restore peace, give security to the inhab
itants, and establish the authority of tho
United States throughout the archipelago.
It has authorized the organization of na
tive troops as auxiliary to the regular
force. It has been advised from time to
time of the acts of the military and navnl
officers in the islands, of my action in
appointing civil commissions, o'f the In
structions with which they were charged,
of their duties and powers, of their rec
ommendations, and of the. several acts
under Executive commlsslon.together with
the very complete Information they have
submitted. These reports fully set forth
the conditions In the Islands and the In
structions clearly show the principles
which will guide the Executive until the
Congress shall, as It is required to do by
the treaty, determine the "civil rights
and political status of the native inhabi
tants." The Congress, having added the
sanction of Its authority to the powers
already possessed and exercised by the
Executive under the Constitution, there
by leaving with the Executive the re
sponsibility for the government of the
Philippines. I shall continue the efforts
already taken until order shall be restored
throughout the islands and as fast as
conditions permit, will establish local
governments. In the formation of which
the full co-operation of the people has
been already Invited and when estab
lished encourage the people to administer
them.
The settled purpose, long ago prex'alled,'
to afford the Inhabitants of the islands
self-government as fast as they are ready
for It will be pursued with earnestness
and fidelity. Already something has been
accomplished In this direction. The Gov
ernment's representatives, civil and mili
tary, are doing faithful and noble work
in their mission of emancipation, and
merit the approval and support of their
countrymen. The most liberal terms of
amnesty have already been communicated
to the Insurgents, and the way Is still
open for those who have raised their arms
against the Government for honorable
submission to Its authority. Our country
men should not be deceived. We are not
waging war against the Inhabitants of the
Philippine Islands. A portion of them are
making war against the United States.
By far the greater part of the inhabitants
recognize American sovereignty and wel
come It as a guaranty of good order and
security for life, property, liberty, free
dom of conscience and the pursuit of hap
piness. To them full protection will be
given. They shall not be abandoned. We
will not leave the destiny of the loyal
millions in the islands to the disloyal
thousands who arc In rebellion against
the United States. Order under civil in
stitutions will come as soon as those who
now break the peace shall keep it Force
will not be needed or used when those
who make war against u shall make it
no more. May It end without further
bloodshed, and there be ushered in the
reign of peace to be made permanent by
a government of liberty under the law.
My fellow-cltlzsns, the public events of
the past four years have gone Into his
tory. They are too near to justify recital.
Some of them were unforeseen; many of
them momentous and far-reaching in their
consequences to ourselves and our rela
tions with the rest of the world. .The
part which the United States bore so
honorably in the thrilling scenes In China,
while new to American life, has been in
harmony with its true spirit and best tra
ditions, and In dealing with the results
Its policy will be that of moderation and
fairness.
We face at this moment a most Import
ant question that of the future relations
of the United States and Cuba. With our
near neighbors we must remain close
friends. The declaration of the purposes
of this Government in the resolution of
April 20, 1S08, must De made good. Ever
since the evacuation of the Island ty
the Army of Spain, the Executive, with
all practicable speed, has been assisting
its people by successive steps necessary
to the establishment of a free and inde
pendent government prepared to assume
and perform the obligations of interna
tional law which now rests upon the
United States under the Treaty of Paris.
The convention elected by the people to
frame a constitution Is approaching the
completion of its labors. The transfer of
American control to the new government
Is of such great Importance, involving an
obligation resulting from our Intervention
and the treaty of peace, that I am glad
to be advised by the recent act of Con
gress of the policy which the Legislative
branch of the Government deems essen
tial to the best Interests of Cuba and
the United States. The principles which
led to our Intervention require that the
fundamental law upon which the new gov
ernment rests should be adapted to secure
a government capable of performing the
duties and discharging the functions of a
separate nation, of observing Its interna
tional obligations, of protecting life and
property, insuring order, safety and lib
erty, and conforming to the established
and historical policy of the United States
In its relations to Cuba.
LETTER " FROM PAT CROWE
Similar to the One He Sent Mr. Cud
ahy Recently.
OMAHA, Neb.. March 4. Pat Crowe,
one of the alleged abductors of Edward
Cudahy, Jr., has written a letter to the
World-Herald, postmarked Denlson, ;Ia
March 2, touching the kidnaping and as
serting his innocence. The communica
tion Is a long one. and in many respects is
a duplicate of the letter written to Mr.
Cudahy three weeks ago. Chief of Police
Donahue says there Is no doubt in his
mind as to the genuineness of the letter,
and of its coming from Crowe. Chief
Donahue gave out the contents of a let
ter he wrote February 9 to Steve Crowe,
a brother of Pat, and which was written
In answer to the letter received by Mr.
Cudahy at that time. The Chief says:
"If Pat Crowe will surrender himself
to me personally, I will waive all my
rights to the reward offered for his arrest;
also to the reward offered for his arrest
and conviction for the kidnaping of Ed
ward Cudahy, Jr., the night of December
18, 1900. I will further agree to do every
thing in my power to protect him from
any personal violence or mistreatment
while he Is In my custody, and will aid
him In every way to establish his inno
cence of the crime."

on account of age. They are Rear-Admiral

THE INAUGURAL PARADE
BRILLIANT ESCORT TO THE PRES
IDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT.
Procession Made Up of Military and
Civic Divisions All Carried Ont
According to Programme.
WASHINGTON, March 4. Never has
an inaugural parade in Washington
passed o'ft with as little friction, and with
the general picturesque effect that ac
companied the great pageant that served
as President MeKinley and "Vice-President
Roosevelt's escort to the White House
after they had taken the oath of office
under the shadow of the capltol. The
police arrangements throughout were ex
ceptionally effective. The Inaugural com
mittee had provided a barrier of iron
posts and wire cable along both sides of
Pennsylvania avenue, from the Peace
monument to Seventh street, and suc
ceeded in absolutely keeping clear the
line of march for the first time in the his
tory of inaugural displays in Washing
ton. This barrier was not broken through
at any point during the whole day, and
the troops were able to march In extend
ed formation, thereby adding to the beau
ty of the display, .and speed with which
the procession was enabled to pass. The
start was made from the Capitol about
2:15 o'clock, and the last of the civic or
ganizations had passed the reviewing
stand at the White House a little before 6
o'clock.
Considering the weather conditions, the
parade In point of numbers closely ap
proximated the official forecast. The
prompltude with which It was handled
by the Grand Marshal was decidedly
above the average for such an event
The weather was not favorable for the
parade, as there was a drizzle at inter
vals, but fortunately the weather was
mild, so no parader suffered any hard
ship from the elements.
In point of beauty, the military display
probably never has been exceeded In
Washington. The regular contingent of
cavalry, Infantry and artillery was uni
formed as though for the most exacting
official inspection and the discipline be
yond criticism. The same could be said
with" equal emphasis of the naval con
tingent The marines, a splendid body
of sea soldiers and the jackies with
their rollicking, free-and-easy step, were
especially well received by the crowds.
The naval contingent was larger than
has ever been seen In Washington pa
rades. The youthful cadet corps of West Point
and Annapolis, in the severe simplicity of
their uniforms, quick snappy action and
machine-like accuracy with which they
performed every evolution, were a body
quite apart and distinct from all the
others. The band with the naval cadets
created as much comment as perhaps
the best musical organization In the
whole procession, rivaling even the fa
mous Marine band of the Washington
barracks.
One of the unique features of the mili
tary display was a battalion of the Porto
Rican regiment recently organized In our
island possession and recruited from
among the native population. They were
not to be distinguished from the other
regular Infantry regiments excep.t by
their swarthy complexions and evidences
In their marching of an enthusiasm that
won them great applause along the line
of march. Their welcome was of the
wnrmest.
The civic division consisted of clubs
of all sections of the country, many
unique In their uniform and regalias
and displaying decided proficiency in
maintaining their formation and keeping
up to the high standard set by the mili
tary division. There were two features
In connection with the civic division this
year that struck the notice of those ac
customed tQ Inaugural parades. One was
the turn out of khakl-clad, campalgn
hattcd Rough Rider marching clubs from
the several states and the other was the
appearance In line of cadet corps repre
senting a large number of educational in
stitutions In Washington and elsewhere.
Soon after 2 o'clock the booming of
cannon and the blare of bugles announced
that the President was ready to proceed
to the White House, and the time had
come for the marching hosts to move.
Column after column of the uniformed
ranks swung lnJo position. At the head
rodo Major-General Francis V. Greene,
Grand Marshal, surrounded by his bril
liant array of mounted aids and staff
officers. Back of them rode Major-General
Brooke. Chief Marshal, with line on
line of staff officers. Heading the rank
and file of the military divisions came
Major-General Ludlow and'another showy
group of officers. The rain kept pelting
down, and the great coats of the officers
were turned up around their ears. Lead
ing the first brigade marched the gray
coated cadets from West Point, and after
them the Naval cadets from Annapolis.
The President and his party went direct
from the room of the Senate committee
on military affairs to carriages waiting
on the east side of the Senate wing, his
escort accompnnylng him, as did also the
Vice-President The top of the Presi
dent's carriage was covered, and he was
quite concealed from the public gaze. Sen
ators Hanna and Jones of Arkansas, and
Representative Cannon entered the car
riage with him. The Vice-President was
accompanied on his trip by Senator
Spooner and Representatives Dalzell and
McRae. It was 2:30 when they took their
place In the parade and the procession,
which had straightened out, started fairly
for the White House. The rain ceased
falling as the Presidential party turned
into Pennsylvania at the Peace monu
ment. The procession from the Capitol was
practically In the same order as the trip
from the White House, except that the
contingent of civil war veterans who
acted as the guard of honor in tho first
parade, was omitted in the return. Both
the President and the Vice-President
were greeted with vociferous enthusiasm
all along the line of the parade. The
President smiled and lifted his hat re
peatedly, and Vice-President Roosevelt
bowed and waved his hat almost continu
ously In acknowledgement
The remainder of the first division,
which formed the escort of the Presi
dent on his way to the Capitol, now fol
lowed in order on the return trip to the
White House. The portion of the parade
which had not taken part in the escort
ing march to the Capltol. came next,
headed by Governor Stone, of Pennsylva
nia, mounted on a magnificent white
charger.
Governor Stone was marshal of this,
the second brigade of the first grand mil
itary division, and so he was separated by
a short interval from the troops of his
own state, the First Regiment of infantry
of Delaware, coming in between. The
Peach Tree state's contingent was suc
ceded by the Pennsylvania National
Guard, represented by 14 regiments, num
bering 000 men in all.
The "third division, headed by Major
Joseph Wheeler, made "a magnificent
showing. The General received an ova
tion as he rode slowly along bareheaded,
with his chopeau waving first to one side
and then to the other. He had a dis
tinguished staff, who divided with their
chief the honors of the applause. Among
them were William Astor Chanler and
John Jacob Astor. There was a special es
cort of the New York Signal Corps, under
command of Captain Oscar Erlander,
bearing proudly the first flag hoisted over
the Island of Cuba.
Immediately following came Brigadier
General Charles King, Marshal of the
First Brigade of the' third military di
vision. Composed, as it was, of organiza
tions of the National Guard of many
states, this brigade made an excellent
showing, and the diversity of their uni
forms formed a most attractive feature
of the parade. New Jersey. Georgia, Con
necticut and Massachusetts came in or
der, no two organizations clad alike, and
all marching magnificently. Governor
Smith, of Maryland, led his state troop.
This brigade closed with a battalion of
the South Carolina National Guard, about
100 strong and bearing Old Glory proud
ly, while their band played "Dixie."
The second brigade" was headed by
Brigadier-General Henry Douglas, fol
lowed by Governor Odell, of New York,
In citizen's attire, doffing his silk hat
at almost every step of his horse in re
sponse to the hearty cheers of the crowd.
Following the New York Cavalry came
the mounted Signal Corps men, and then
the long "blue ranks of the Twenty-third
New York Infantry. The Virginia mili
tia. In gray uniforms and white crossed
belts, made a fine display against the
blue and black uniforms of the Naval Re
serves, who followed them. The Lee
Rifles, of Charlotte, N. C, closed the
brigade.
The third brigade was headed by Brigadier-General
Metcalfe as Marshal. Gov
ernor McMillin, of Tennessee, for many
years In Congress, rode directly after the
Marshal, and was enthusiastically
cheered. The first military organization
following was the Eighth Ohio, a thor
oughly business-like regiment, the sol
diers wearing campaign hats which had
seen service, and each one carry
ing across his left shoulder his
blanket roll in true campaign
style. Like the preceding govern
ors. Governor Yates, of Illinois, was clad
as a civilian, but he was immediately rec
ognized and applauded by th,e whole
crowd, and was obliged to bow continu
ously as he rode along on a fine bay
horse. His staff was perhaps the most
numerous and brilliantly uniformed of
any in line. The Illinois Fifth Infantry,
with four companies In the parade, made
a most creditable showing. Governor
Bliss, of Mississippi, carrying a red,
white and blue baton, with a long tassel
of ribbons of the national colors, and Gov
ernor Shaw, of Iowa, rode by next The
Eighth Independent battalion and two col
ored officers of Washington closed the
grand military division of the procession.
B. H. Warner, of Washington, D. C,
was marshal of the civic grand division
with an escort composed of the American
Club, of Pittsburg. The escort carried
red, white and blue umbrellas, which
they spun In fanciful style as they passed.
The first brigade of this division was
commanded by Thomas C. Noyes, of
Washington, D. C, and was composed
entirely of Republican Clubs, headed by
the Lincoln Club, of New York, a set of
prosperous-looking business men wearing
silk hats and black frock coats.
The A. C. Harmer Club,' of Philadel
phia, came next A touch of the pic
turesque was lent to this portion of the
parade by the bright uniforms of the Co
lumbus Glee and Tippecanoe Clubs, of
Cleveland.
The second brigade included some
unique uniforms, notably the Roosevelt
Marching Club, of Indianapolis, and the
Syracuse escort, both clad In khaki.
The second grand division was com
posed of two brigades, also made up of
Republican Clubs, under the lead of Mar
shal Cochran and headed by the Freyllng
huysen Lancers, of Newark, N. J., whose
red, white and blue uniforms made a pret
ty showing. The St Paul contingent was
made up of the Roosevelt Republican
Club. They were clad In khaki, marched
well and were favorably received. Khaki
color seemed to be, Indeed, in great fa
vor among the civic paraders, and It fig
ured all the way from the completely
clad Roosevelt marcher to the lines of
mackintosh-covered and stick-bearing In
dividuals. The third and last division of the civic
division, wheh was headed by Major-General
O. O. Howard, as Marshal, was the
last in line. This division, save the Union
League, of Maryland, was composed of
marching clubs from the colleges and
universities of the country. Some of
them" were uniformed prettily, and they
gave a tasteful finish to this portion of
the parade. There were about sixteen sep
arate Individual educational institutions
represented, and the crowd gave them "a
warm greeting. A number of colored
Republican Clubs followed the collegians,
and made' a credible display, in point of
neatness, uniformity of attire and In
number, making an excellent finish to the
inaugural parade.
AT THE REVIEtVIXG STAND.
A PIntc-Glass Structure for the Pres
ident and His Gucnti.
WASHINGTON March 4. The inaug
ural committee met the President and
Vice-President at the Executive Mansion
and after a short delay escorted them to
the reviewing stand, at the entrance to
Executive avenue, between the White
House and" the state, war and navy build
ing. All of the reviewing stands on thi3
occasion were uniform in general design,
and more ornamental than ever before.
The small stand which the President and
Vice-President occupied was exceptionally
beautiful. It was inclosed in plate-glass
as a precaution against stormy weather,
and projected some distance beyond the
line of the others. From It an unob
structed view was afforded of the proces.
slon as It approached from Fifteenth
street Mrs. MeKinley reached the White
House by a side street ahead of the Pres
ident, but was very tired when she re
turned from the Capltol, and thought it
prudent to retire to her room for rest.
She did not witness the parade. Her
guests, however, were in the stand, as
well as many high officials of the Gov
ernment, the members of the diplomatio
corps and their ladies, and a large num
ber of distinguished visitors who had re
ceived special Invitations. When the
President and Vice-President and the Cab
inet members took their places they were
Immediately recognized by the throng,
and another demonstration was precipi
tated. The Presidential party had hardly
made themselves comfortable before the
review began, as the inspiring music of
the Governor's Island band was heard
swelling through the Court of Honor. By
this time It was after 3 o'clock. Tho
President stood at the front of" the stand,
with Vice-President Roosevelt at his left,
a little to the rear. All of the party wore
tall hats, the President and Vice-President
removing these at frequent Intervals
In return for the salutes of the command
ing officers as they passed. During the
passage of the Army and Navy divisions
General Miles and Admiral Dewey stepped
to the front, and with the President ac
knowledged the salutes of the officers. AH
during the, time the long parade wi!M
passing the President and Vice-President
never failed to remove their hats as each
stand of colors was brought to a salute.
At 4:20 o'clock Admiral Dewey took hl3
leave of the President and the remainder
of the party In the reviewing stand. The
Admiral Is convalescent from a serious
attack of grip. A few minutes after 6
o'clock the President left the stand, ap
pearing remarkably buoyant and cheer
ful, considering the long hours of expos
ure, for the most part with bared head.
He retired immediately to the White
House to dinner and much-needed rest
before attending the Inaugural ball.
THE 3IORNING PARADE.
President Escorted to the Cnpltol by
the G. A. R.
WASHINGTON, March 4. It was just
10:30 o'clock when the President entered
the White House carriage, which was
drawn by four superbly groomed horses
belonging to the Executive stables. With
him in the carriage were Senator Hanna
and Representatives McRae and Cannon.
Secretary Cortelyou and the members of
the Cabinet took places In their own car
riages, and with a trumpet blast the pro
cession started. The carriages left the
east gate and turned west up Pennsyl
vania avenue to reach the rear of the es
corting column, and then counter
marched, passing the White House again
at 10:50 o'clock. Grand Marshal Greene
and staff were at the head of the line.
A body of picked policemen, handsomely
mounted, cleared the way for the escort
ing column as It swept Into Pennsylvania
avenue. A military band from Gover
nor's Island, N. Y., had the honor of fur
nishing the music for the first detacn
ment The staff were very numerous,
and made a splendid appearance in full
dress uniform, representing every branch
of the military service.
After quite a breach In the line came
LESSON TAUGHT
NOT THE $5 RATE GENEROUSLY GIVEN FOR ALL' DISEASES
But the Skill and Faith and Fame of the Practice Account for the
Throngs of People and the General Interest Doctor
Copeland Gives the $5 iate for AH Dis- " : .
eases, Medicines Included.
It would bo a very simple-minded per
son who would attempt to account by the
J5 rate In and of itself for the crowds
thronging the Copeland offices, for the
public interest, for the general grati
tude and for the very avalanche of letters
from sick people.
The fact that an institution was giving
medical treatment for 53 a month would
certainly account for none of these things.
Of course, sick people like to feel that
they are receiving medical care at a small
cost, but that Is only a minor considera
tion. What sick people want to feel
and know, what their loving and anx
ious families and friends want to feel
and know. Is that they are receiving the

If the Copeland practice were a mere
money-making venture Instead of being
a public blessing, an offer of $5 or an offer
of "free treatment," for that matter,
would be received with indifference.
If some horse doctor offered to treat
consumptives at $5 a month, or if the

To the engineer who has the powerful
forces of nature under his control, the pos
session of a clear head is an absolute neces
sity. He must have a head that is quick
and ready, wide awake and ever on the
lookout to meet emergencies. A clear
head must be free from aches and pains,
because they weaken the nervous force
and divert the attention. It must not know
dizziness, dullness, melancholy, depres
sion of spirits, nor nervousness.

grizzly old veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic. This contingent was led
by the famous Rough Rider band, made
up of men who formed part of Roose

was a notable feature of the parade, most
of the men being of almost gigantic stat

There were, according to calculations,
more than 1000 of the G. A. R. and kin

of them were uniformed, almost as In the
days of the Civil War; others wore noth

No, the throngs of patients, the Interest

by the $5 rate, but by the fact that' all
these people know that under this rate

STEER CLEAR
Steer clear of patent cure-alls! To try
to attack a hidden disease by means of
a secret cure-all nostrum Is the same
piece of Insanity as for an Invalid to go
blindfold into a drug store and eat medi
cine from the shelves, without guidance
to what is good and without warning
against what is bad. Nor is there any
abuse or folly against which the Copeland
nominal fee system is more directly aimed.
With expert Individual treatment, at $3
a month, all medicines included, whero
Is the temptation or necessity to tamper
with secret cure-alls?
STEER CLEAR
Steer clear of the boodler in medical
practice. Do not stand in awe of tho
doctor who feels your pulse and then
shakes his head to frighten you over
your condition and make you pay 10
times over what his services are worth.
The medical profession, like every other
profession, has its pretenders, its mounte
banks, its merciless Impostors. The nomi
nal assessment system m vogue at tho
Copeland Institute is the invalid's pro
tection from the wolf and the boodler In

cines included, for the most effective
treatment known.
