PRESIDENT'S .PITTSBURG TALK

ot Attorner-CM-eral
Knox
PITTSBURG, July L Half a million
persons greeted President Roosevelt In
Pittsburg today- Many ,came from the
industrial towns within 100 miles of the
city. It was the distinguished guest's
first visit to Pittsburg as President, and
his welcome was most enthusiastic From
the Union 'Station to the Speakers' stand
in Schenley Park, nearly four miles away,
it was one continuous cheer. The weather
was all that could be desired, with the sun
shining brightly and the temperature not
too high.
At the Wllklnsburg station of the Penn
sylvania JEtallroad a local reception com
mittee, head by George T. Oliver, board
ed the train. 'The Tun into the Union Sta
tion consumed "2Q minutes, during which
time the members of the committee were
introduced -to the Presidential party, Attorney-General
Knox, who la a Plttsburg
er, making the party acquainted. As the
train passed Shadyclde Station, Hampton
Battery B. of the Pennsylvania National
Guard, began to Hre the President's sa
lute of a guns. The last gun wa3 fired aa
the President stepped from his car.
The President was then escorted to his
carriage. Those who occupied the car
riage with the President were City Re
corder J. O. Brown. United States Attorney-General
P. C. Knox, George B. Cor
telyou, secretary to the President. The
other carriages In waiting were promptly
filled by the reception committee. Brigadier-General
John A. Wilie commanded
the military escort, which numbered S0O0
men, representing the Eighteenth Regi
ment, the Fourteenth and Tenth Regi
ments, who saw Philippine service; Sher
idan Cavalry Troop of Tyrone, the Boys'
Brigades and independent militia organ
izations. Among the prominent guests
who rode In carriages were Governor W.
A. Stone. Congressmen Dalzell, Acheson,
Jack and Graham.
Interest centered In the unique feature
of the Republican and Democratic candi
dates for Governor, Judge Samuel W. Pen
nypacker and Robert E. Pattlson, respect
ively, both of Philadelphia, riding togeth
er In Jone carriage. They were accom
panied by George T. Oliver and Albert J.
Barr, editors of Republican and Demo
cratic papers, respectively, of this city.
Flags and bunting fluttered everywhere
along the couree of the parade. People
crowded the windows of the tall buildings,
yelling themselves hoarse In greeting the
Nation's Chief Executive. The greatest
ovation came as the line passed up Fifth
avenue to the top of Grant Hill. High
buildings on cither side offered fine van
tage points for spectators.
When the head of the military escort
reached a position opposite the speakers
stand it W3s halted and stood In company
front with arms at present. As the Presi
dent and those in carriages passed in re
view the band struck Up the stirring
strains of "Hail to the Chief." The mu
bIc was fairly drowned by the cheering
of the 200,000 persons in the stand and on
the amphitheater-like hillside which rose
In front.
Following the band piece, the United
Gpnnan societies of Allegheny stationed
at one side of the stand and made up of
COO voices, broke into singing, "The Star
Spangled Banner." At the clotw of the
song the invocation was pronounced by
the Rev. John H. Prugh. D. D., pastor of
Grace Reformed Church, Pittsburg, and
president of the Goneva Synod of the Re
formed Church in the United States,
which church Mr. Roosevelt attends In
Washington. The Declaration of Inde
penaenee was read by General Hulllngs,
and then followed the oration of the da
by President Roosevelt.
The President's Speech.
The President said:
"Mr. Mayor, and you, my fellow-cltl-sens,
my fel.ow -Americans, men and wom
en of Western Pennsylvania: "You have
Juit listened to the reading of the great
document which signaled our entry into
the field of nations 126 years ago. "That
entry was but the promise which had to-1
be made good by the performance of those
men and their children and their children's
children. Words are good If they are
backed up by deeds, and only so. (Ap
plause.) "The Declaration continues to be read
with pride by ns year after year, and
stands as a symbol of hope for the peo
ples of all the world because its promise
was made good, because Its words were
supplemented by deeds, because after the
men who signed it and upheld it had done
theirs the men wh6 came again after them, I
generation by generation, did their work
In turn. (Applause.) The Declaration of
Independence had to be supplemented In
the first place by that great Instrument
of constructive and admlniatratlve states
manshipthe Constitution under which
we now live. The document promulgated
In 17SS, under which Washington became
our first President, supplemented, neces
sarily supplemented, the Declaration of
li.6., We showed In the Revolution that
we had a right to be free; we showed
when we constructed the more perfect
union of the old confederacy, that we
knew how to use that right as It needed
to be used. (Applause.)
"And then 70 years and more passed,
and then there came again upon the Na
tion the day of Iron need. There came
again the day that demanded all that
was best, life Itself, of the bravest and
truest of the Nation's sons. And with
Fort Sumter's guns awakened our people,
and America, until then the Incarnate
genius of peace, sprang to her feet with
sword and with shield, a helmeted queen
among nations. When the thunder of
guns called the Nation's children, they
sprang forward to do the mighty deeds
-which. If left undone, would have meant
that the words to which we have listened
today would have rung as meaningless
platitudes. (Applause.)
"Those were the two great epochs In the
Nation's history, the epoch of the found
ing of the Union and the epoch of its
preservation; the epoch of Washington
end the epoch of Abraham Lincoln. (Loud
applause and cheers.) Those two genera
tions bad the greatest tasks to do, but
each generation has its tasks, and woe
to the generation which regards the deeds
o the mighty men of the past as an ex
cise for its falling in its turn In the work
that it finds ready to hand. (Applause.)
"The great deeds of those' who have
gone before- us -must -ever serve not as a
rerBon for-inactlon on our part, but as the
keenest of- spurs to drive us forward on
the path of National greatness and Jus
tice? (Applause) We have had our tasks
to do In the last four years, or rather we
have had, as every generation must have,
many tasks to do, tasks affecting us
abroad, and one of those tasks being done
cs it has been has signalled our entry into
a larger world. (Applause.-)
"And It is most appropriate that on this
Fourth of July, this anniversary of the
birth of the Nation, It should be our good
fortune to have promulgated the declara
tion1 establishing peace in the Philippines
and'tce4acknowledgmentto" the Army of
the praise so richly tfue our fellow-Amer-.
leans who wear the uniform of the United
States for all that they have done In the
tropic lfiSands during the past four years.
(Applause and cheers.)
Oar Promise to Cuba.
"We eald Cuba should become a free
republic and we have kept our word.
(Loud applause.) To have turned Cuba
over to the hands of Its own people Im
mediately after the withdrawal of the
Spanish flag would have meant niln and
chaos. We established a government in
the Islands; we established peace and or
der; we began to provide for the payment
of the Cuban troops who had fought
against the misrule of their oppressors;
we instituted a public school system, mod
eled upon that which has been so potent a
factor in our cwn National progress. (Ap
plause) We cleaned the cities in Cubu
for the first time in their history. (Ap
plause.) We changed them from being tr
most unhealthy to being among the
healthiest citlea of the civilized world.
We introduced a system of orderly jus
tice to succeed one of Irresponsible and
arbltratlve despotism, eo that any man,
rich or poorf weak or strong, can take ap
peal and know that be would prove his
rights. And then, when in the fullness of
time we felt they could walk alone, we
turned over the government to them, and
cow the beautiful Queen of the Antilles
has started on her course ao a free re
public among the nations of the earth.
(Applause.)
"But there is one thing in which our pol
icy toward Cuba has not yet met with its
entire fruition. It will meet with It (Ap
plause.) "The course of the last few years has
made more evident than ever before that
this Nation must in time to come have
pecuniary interests on the isthmus con
necting the two Americas and In the wat
ers arid among the islands adjacent there
to. (Applause.) Nationally we cannot
occupy the position toward these regions
that we did toward others where our In
terests are far lese, and this is doubly
true now that Congress with great wisdom
has provided for the building of an Inter
oceanic canal. (Applause.) Cuba must
occupy a, peculiar relation to us In the
field of International politics. She must
In the larger sense be a part of the gen
eral political system in international af
fairs in which thlB republic stands as tne
head. She has'assented to that vjfw and
In return this Nation Is bound to gtvo her
especial economy and privileges not given
to other nations.
"I regret that a measure of reciprocity
with Cuba Is not already embodied In
statute or In treaty, hut it will be, Just as
sure as fate. (Loud applause.)
Peace ,ln the Philippines.
"And now a word as to the Philippines.
There are yet troubles in the Moro coun
try, the. country of the Mohammedan
tribes, but in the Philippines, among the
Filipinos, among the people who have
been In insurrection, peace now reigns.
(Applause.) It may be, I think unlikely,
but It ie possible that here and there come
seeming dead coal of insurrection may be
for the moment fanned Into a live piece
of ember and burst into a fitful flame. If
eo, that flame will be Btamped out, (Loud
applause.)
"But speaking broadly and generally,
peace has come. Our Army has received
its reward. (Applause.) And what was
the reward of our Army? The reward of
the consciousness of duty well done. (Loud
applause.) Our eOldicxa have fought, have
struggled so that when victory came they
might Aura over the government to the
civil "authorities. (Applause.) Victory
came. Today the proclamation of peace
and amflnsty has been promulgated, and
at the same time our Generals have been
notified that the civil government is su
preme in the islands. (Applause.) Does
not that speak well, O my brethren, for
our Arms, for our troops, that the troojy
of this people should hope for a triumph
which Is to put the power into the bands
of the civil authorities? By law we are
allowed an Army at a maximum of 100,
000 men, and a minimum of 60.000 men.
While this war has gone on we have
steadily reduced that Army until now, by
orders promulgated, its limit Is 66.000, and
as a matter of fact we have 12030 or &XW
feTer actually under arms. That speaks
well for our Institutions. It epcaks well
for the triumphs of the policies with
which, as a Nation, we have been Identi
fied during the past four years, and, men
and women of the United States, tt. shows
how slight was the warrant for the fears
expressed by those of little faith as to
what would follow the authorizing of the
small Army that was authorized. (Ap
plause.) 4
"No body of our citizens deserves
franker and more generous" recognition at
the hands of the country than the ofiicers
and enlisted men who w.ear Uncle Sam's
uniform. (Applause.) For there is no
body of our citizens which gives more dis
interested service with less thought of a
material reward proportionately In any
way to them.
"And now, my fellow-citizens, I spoke
of the task which has confronted those in
Cuba and the Philippines as being one
of the tasks which this generation had to
face. It Is only one. We have great prob
lems at home to face. I am speaking In
one of the great industrial centers, not
merely of America, but of the world. (Ap
plause.) A million people stapd grouped
in a small radiua around the spot where
we now are. The. growth of your cities
within this radius has been one of the
most striking phenomena of the day, and,
therefore, you are brought face to face
with those problems which affect our en
tire civilization at the opening of this new
centufj'. The tremendous rush of our in
dustrial development which has brought
In Its train so much that is good and also
of necessity brought somewhat Its evil,
the very intensity of the progress that
has- been made, has meant that new and
Infinitely difficult problems have arisen
which we must strive to solve as best we
may.
The Trust Problem.
"Under our form of government, with
its great decentralization of power, some
of those problems must be solved through
the work of private Individuals working
by themselves, others by association Into
organized bodies or groups of private citi
zens, and others yet through the various
governmental agencies, municipal, state
and National. Especially great, especially
difficult, are the problems causfed by the
growth and concentration of great Indi
vidual, and also, above all, of great cor
porate fortunes. It Is Immensely import
ant for the Interests of the country that
there should be such Individual and cor
porate wealth, as long as it is used right,
and when not used right, then It becomes
a serious menace and danger. (Applause.)
"The Instrument and methods with
which we are to meet these new problems
must in many cases themselves be new,
but the purpose lying behind the use of
these methods of these instruments must,
if wc are to succeed, be now, ao in the
past, simply in accord with the lmmutablo
laws of order, of justice, and of right.
Wo may need and, in my belief, will need,
new legislation conceived In no radical or
revolutionary spirit, but In a spirit of
common sense, common honesty, and a
resolute desire to face facts as they are.
(Applause.) We will need then new leg
islation, but while laws are Important, It
Jo infinitely more Important that they
should be administered In accordance with
the principles that have marked honest
administration from the beginning of re
corded history. (Applause.)
"In the last analysis the most Important
department of civilized government is the
department of Justice. Think what It
means. The department of justice, justice
that means that each man, rich or poor,
strong or weak, ahall have his rights, and
shall net be allowed to do wrong to his
fellows. (Applause.) And you, here of
this city, have a Tight to feel proud of
your representative In the Cabinet, the
man under whom -we can guarantee that
the Department at Justice will be such
in fact as well as in name. (Loud and
continued applause. Cries of 'Knox!
Knox!') When It comes to practice, the
ounce of performance outweighs the ton
of promise. (Applause.) And under Mr.
Knoxihcrc has been very much more than
xan ounce of performance. (Applauee.)
"O my fellow-countrymen, as we face
these infinitely difficult problems, let us
ever bear In mind that, though, 'we need
the highest qualities of the intellect In
rder to 'work out practical schemes for
their solution, yet' we need, a thousand
times more, what counts for many, many,
many times as much as Intellect we need
character. (Cries of That Is ftT and ap
plause.) Character, that compound of hon
esty and courage and common sense, will
avail us more In the long run than any
brilliancy on the stump or any advising
of legislative means and methods. The
brilliancy Is good. We need the Intellect;
we need the best intellect we can get; we
need the beat Intelligence, we need more
still character. We need common sense,
common honesty, and resolute courage.
(ApplouseJ We need what Mr. Knox has
shown the character that will refuse to
be hurried into any unwise or precipitate
mot'eraent by any camorc whether hys
terical or demagogic, and. on the other
hand, the character that will refuse to be
frightened out ot the movement which he
thinks it right to undertake by any pres
sure, still less by any tnreat, expressed or
Implied". (Cries of 'Hear, hear!' and ap
plause.) Control, of Corporations.
"Gentlemen, we have great problems.
We can only solvo them by degrees. Wc
can xjnly eolve them by doing well each
particular bit of work as ft comes up for
solution. Much can be done along the
lines of supervision and regulation of the

great Industrial combinations which have
become so marked a feature in our civill
Eatlon. but if we recktfesly try without
proper thought, without. proper caution,
to do too much, we shall do nothing or
else we shall work a ruin that will be felt
most acutely among those of our-cltlien
who ore most helplero. It Is no easy task
to deal with great industrial tendencies.
To deal -with them in a spirit of presump
tuous and rash folly and, above all. to
deal with them In ft spirit of envy and
hatred, and malice woUldhc to Invite' dis

spread that this country would rock to
Its foundations. The Mississippi sometime
causes Immense damage by flood. If you
cannot dam It and slop the floods, you
can regulate them and control them by
leveca. You con regulate and control the
current; you can eliminate Its destructive
feature; but you can do It -only by study
ing what a current Is. and what your own
powers are. (Applause.)
"It Is just exactly so In dealing with the
great tendencies of our Industrial civiliza
tion. We cannot turn back the wheels of
progress. If we cbuld. It would mean
tho absolute destruction of Just such In
dustrial centers as this. We will either
do nothing or we will do damage if we
strive ignorantly to achieve the Impossi
ble, But that fact docs not excuse us for
failure to strive to do what is possible.
Special legislation 1b needed. Some of
that legislation must come through mu
nicipalities, some through states, some
through the National Government; but,
above and beyond all legislation, we need
honest and fearless administration of the
lawe as they arp on the statute books.
(Applause.) Honest and fearless adminis
tration of those laws In the Interest neith
er of the rich man as such, nor of the
poor man as such, but In ih,e Intore-st of
exact and equal Justice to all alike, and
such administration you will surely have

in the Cabinet at Washington." (Ap-
After the President had been vocifer
ously cheered at the conclusion ot his
speech, loud and repeated cries of "Knox"
brought the Attorney-General finally to
the front Mr. Knox said:
"My Fellow-Townsmen and My Friends:
It has already been agreed by the Re
corder ot tho city and the President that
I am to be entitled to credit upon my
speech for all the time that I have Btood
upon the platform. Therefore, having al
ready expended your time for the past 10
minutes, I cah do no more thtoi merely
acknowledge my gratitude to the Presi

placed upon my most willing servlco In
trying to uphold tho hands of a strong
and good man in his determination to do
fight by all classes."
After tho address tha German singers

out of compliment to tho Gorman ances

When the Presidential party reached the

entirely Informal, and the only toast was
at tho Conclusion ot the menu, when Mr.
Knox arose and said: "I propose the toast,
the one and the only toast of the evening,
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the

as follows:

have greeted me today, I can Imaglno
nothing that would be more inspiring to a
public officer, that would give him better
heart to try to do his duty as It is given
him to see his duty; nothing that would
make him try to carry out his work more
than the experience I have had today in
addressing the great audience that met me
this morning. But one thing In particular
pleased me about It, gentlemen. That was
the fact that the audience whom I met
then; that you, my hosts and fellow
guestswlth whom.1 dine now, representing
a)l shades of pollltlcal belief, as you repre
sent all shades of religious belief; that you
represnnt every occupation and every In
dus to: arid that you come together on this
Fourtn of July as American citizens and
nothing else. It has been said, and well
said, that our political differences cease
at the water Unc That is true, but more
than this Is trne. In -great crises, -when
the -great! fundamental issues of our Gov
ernment are at stake, all party differences
cease. And so it is eminently proper that
on the great National holidays, and above
all, on the Fourth ot July, the day that
commemorates the birth of the Nation,
we should come together not as repre
sentatives of any one party, but as Ameri
cans, as men to whom in the last analysis
all that makes Americans nobler and
greater Is dear, as men who are a unit in
the principles that must underlie our sys
tem of Government. There Is an Im
mense amount of work to ha
done in public life that has not got

Is Impressed by the fundamental kinship
among them. I think, gentlemen, that
the average American is a pretty good fel
low. All that Is necessary to find that out
Is to know you and differences that come
Up must mainly spring from failure to
know one another. Sometimes that causes
differences among localities; sometimes it
causes differences between two groups of
mon In the same locality, between em
ployer and employed, between the men of
tho town and the men of the country, be
tween the men of one occupation and the
men or another occupation, and I must
earnestly and fervently believe that the
best solvent for all such conditions is
bringing the people together so that one
shall get to understand the view point of
theother. I 4on't say that that will pre
vent all differences, but X am confident
that It "will mlnlniUe the causes of differ
ence, and that It will make the differences
far Usa acute.
"I don't believe that any considerable
body of oUr people really wishes ill of
any fcther considerable body of our people
and when there Is an appearance of such
wishing ill, I am sure that it springs
from some fundamental misapprehension
between the two sides, and the best way
of t removing the difference, be It real or
assumed. Is to try to get the two sides
together and to try to make each ap
proach the meeting with the honest pur
pose of looking at the matter that is the
cause of the difference from the view
points of both. And so. gentlemen, I feel
that meetings such as this tonight, such a
great assemblage as I had the honor of
addressing this momlng, served one pur
pose, a purpose the most Important of all
the purpose of getting our people to
gether: the bringing of them In contact
ojle with the other, so that they may real
ize that. tho differences that divide one
from the other are trivial, and that the
Unft4 tvmons: us all Is fundamental.
"Perhaps the most valuable lesson
taught by the Civil War, as regards our
civil life, apart from the lessons taught
in military life, was that of brotherhood,
of unity. Wherevfer I speak of men who
have been In the great war, who have
been In the Civil War, such as that body
that we passed In the course of the pro
cession this morning, I speak of. men who
have practically applied for a number ot
years the principle of brotherhood, and
who could not apply any other principle.
I mean the principle of treating a man on
his word as a man with all proper charity
for fate fallings, but with regard primarily
to what Is real and distinguished from
what his accidental qualities and. charac
teristics are. There are in this audience,
there are In every audience one speaks
to, men who have fought in the great
war, the men who trot down to the fight
ing, to the marching, to the long weari
some months of drudgery In camp, who
got to put a pretty good Judgment In their
fellows that were next to them If it was
a. fight, and who headed a move forward
to, bV dur,o that the men next to them
would move the rjght way. They did not
care a hit whether the men next to them
were bankers or bricklayers. They wanted
to know whether they would 'stay put.'
"Nov that is what you want in civil
life. -iMore and more I think, gentlemen,
as'-orte grows older, one comes to feA
that it Is .not the sphere In which we per
form the duty; It is the doing of tie ddty
that counts. I do nocare what the man's
occupation Is or what his standing Is. If
he does his duty well, he Is a good citi
zen, and If he does not, he is not a good
cltlten. Corripared with that fundamental
jUestlori, the other questions as to tho po
sition he occupies in public life, social,
polttlcaler any other way, those ques
tions rink Into absolute insignificance."

of President Roosevelt. After the toast
was drunk, Mr. Choate, Sir grands and
the other colonial officials hurried away
to don their court dress to meet the Prince
of Wales at the India, Office. The. other
guests of the society remained, and in
opite of Mr, Choate's announcement, there
ensued an unusually bright series of
speeches, which were punctured by openly
expressed dissatisfaction with the- absence
of tho American Ambassador and his ac
tion of discountenancing the speeches.
This dissatisfaction Was voiced by ex
G6vernor Hastings, of Pennsylvania, who
said that he quite disagreed -with Mr.
Choate. Mr. Hastings said he had only
Just arrived In London from Jthe United
States, but that before he left, all the
country was rejoicing over the King's re
covery, and that, therefore, he thought
tonight should be one of rejoicing and Of
speeches to voice that feeling. This re
mark was greeted with loud cheers, in
which the American diplomats who had
remained and all the consular representa
tives heartily joined.
Mr. Choate opened the ceremonies at to
night's banquet by reading the last bul
letin concerning tho condition of the King.
It was received with cheers.
"The ends of the world." said the Am
bacsador, "have been brought very close
together these last few days. King Ed
ward's health occupies the tender, serious
and affectionate regard of the civilized
world. At this banquet, and especially
upon the Fourth of July, which I believe
contributed to the happiness of both coun
tries, t can express for the people of the
United States, and without unduly assum
ing any authority, their earnest and
hearty sympathy with King Edward and
his people in their anxiety, and 1 can say
that the American people offer their pray
ers for His Majesty's speedy recovery as
earnestly and as ardently as If no sepa
ration bad ever occurred.
"Never has there been and never could
there be a moro pathetic historical occur
rence than the King's tllnes?. The peace
which wao so anxiously looked for had
como at last the capital had been trans
formed into a theater that millions of peo
ple might behold the most wonderful pa
geant of modern times, and all mankind
was on- the tiptoe of expectation, when
suddenly, like a bolt from a clear sky, the
ceotor of these festivities had to exchange
the glory and brlghtnctt; of the coronation
for weekn of illness, No wonder all hearts
wero prostrated and that ccrr note of
preparation ceased. We are now all -ome-whet
chastened by the brief but startling
experience. Anxiety still mingles with
hope and speeches on this occasion would
bo suitably dmltted."
In view of these circumstances. Mr.
Choate urged that the usual hilarity of
the occasion be tempered. He referred to
President Roosovelt, "whom all men de
lighted to honor," "and his keen sympathy
for the King in his lllne, to which ho
drew the parallel of the feeling in Great
Britain over the death of President Mc
Klnley. With a brief reference to the
function at tho India Office, Mr. Choate
concluded his speech. It was loudly
cheered, and King Edward's health was
drunk with enthusiasm.
OTHER CELEBRATIONS ABROAD.
Ambassador White's Fourth of July
Address at Leipsic.
'LEIPSIC, Germany, July 4. The United
States Ambassador, Andrew D. White,
according to his usual custom, responded
to the toast of "The Preslrent" at the
dinner of the American colony here today,
at which the United States Consul, B.
H. Warner, Jr., presided. The Ambas
sador cited the German historian, Neu
mann's, remark, "la what age or country
will you find so large an array of rulers,
every one of them a man of integrity and
every one of them a man of high capa
city, as In the-case of the long series
of Presidents Ot the United States, every
one, even by the avowal of his enemies,
a roan of high character and ability."
Mr. White alluded to President Roose
vqlt's originality, surpassing that of any
known President except Lincoln, and to
the variety of his gifts, unequaled by
any predecessor except John Quincy
Adams. Like Jefferson, he added, "he
has a decent respect for tho opinion of
mankind:"
Referring to tho St. Louis exposition,
Mr. White said:
"We will Indeed rejoice In the material
prosperity of our country, for it will
then be revealed as at no previous dis
play. But still more will wo be Interested
In the contributions which will show the
progress of art, science and technical
skill, whether of our own of other nations.
Especially will be welcome the results
of German love of truth and beauty
as displayed In scientific, artistic and
technical contributions."
After alluding to the influence of Ger
man culture In the enrichment of Ameri
can civilization and In the Enrichment of
tho republic. Mr. While said:
'With these feelings', tho President
naturally desires the best relations be
tween the United States and other parts
of the world, especially the United Statep
and Germany. He has more than enco
uttered this Idea In public and those who
know him best know from his expressions
In private that German ideals and Ger
man devotion to truth ahd duty are es
pecially recognized and honored by him.
Within the past year he said to an old
friend who was leaving hjm in order to
return to Europe: T have had love and
admiration for Germany since boyhood
and when I say this I mean It, Tou know
me well enough to be sure that when I
say a thing, I mean It.'
"I may add that as he made ;the re
mark quoted, a German book by a Ger
man professor was lylhg open on his
table Just belpw his hand. Those who
know him best know that, with the pos
sible exception of Garfield, no President
over so fully understood what Germany
has glveh and Is giving to civilization.
But also, Garfield was never granted
the opportunity to visit Germany and
study that which Germany offers. In
Mr. Roosovelt's attitude toward foreign
governments, we may be sUre he will be
firm and strong, but never truculent.''

HOW TAMMANY CELEBRATED.
Two Speeches and Several Letters of
Regret.
NEW YORK, July 4. Tammany Hall
today celebrated the 12Gth anniversary of
American Independence. The programme
differed little from that of the Fourth of
July celebrations held at the Wigwam in
former years. W. Bourke Cockran, who
recently returned to the Tammany fold,
delivered the principal address, and tho
other "long talk" was made by Supreme
Court Justice O'Gorman.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, sent a letter
of regret, In which he said:
"There ha3 never been a time In the
history of our country when the free In
stitutions established by our fathers were
In more peril than at present. The an
nouncement Is definitely made that we
have outgrown the swaddling clothes of
17TG and muot Join the world powers in
trampling upon human rights apd the
teachings of Washington and Jefferson."
William J. Bryan, In sending regrets,
said:
"It Is more important that we should so
discharge tho duties, of citizenship as to
strengthen our Nation's character and
perpetuate our Government, than that we
should merely observe each recurring an
niversary of the Nation's bjri;h. There is
a never-ending contest between human
rights and man's uhbFidlcd greed. Wheth
er it manifests Itself In the tariff question,
the money question, the trust question or
Imperialism, It is the same, for every
where it tramples upon the unalienable
rights of the citizen. Tammany can help
the Democratic party by throwing Its or
ganization upon tho side of honest meth
ods and upon the side of honest platforms
platforms wrhlch will set forth In clear
and unambiguous language the people's
side of every issue. Thoso who employ
hypocrisy also resort to trickery to de
ceive the people, but those who believe in
equal rights to all and would deny spe
cial privileges to any, must rely upon the
merits of their cause and make an open
and manly appeal to the conscience and
intelligence of the people."
Ex-Senator Hill, In his letter of regret,
said:
"The policy of the Administration In re
lation to the Inhabitants of the Philippine
Islands Is adlsgrace to civilization. It re
pudiates the Declaration of Independence.
The present Republican Congress has ac
compllthe'd llttlo or nothing for the bene
fit of the people. It has not only failed to
do Justice to Cuba, but it has also failed
to relieve the consumers of tho United
States. The Administration's most adver
tised measure of diluted 'reciprocity has
already come to grief. The astonishing
and strenuous defense of General Wood In
regard to the Cuban frauds contained in
the recent harangue of the perambulating
President of tho United States on a nonpartisan-
occasion has fixed tho responsi
bility for the crime upon tho Administra
tion, which it cannot now avoid."
MILES ON THE PHILIPPINES.
The General's Oration at the Phila
delphia. Celebration.
PHILADELPHIA. July 4. As has been
the custom for years, the City of Philadel

the signing of the Declaration of Inde

the City Council at luncheon, and was
also an Interested spectator of the regatta
on the Schuylkill River. He left the city
late In the afternoon. In his address
General Miles said with reference to the
Philippine Islands:
"The problem of the Philippine Islands
Is one of serious moment, Involving the
expenditure of valuable lives and vast
treasure. Although the subject is attract
ing marked attention and exciting bitter
discussion, there can be but one Anal so
