nd host In one, Theodore Roosevelt
brought energy and animation to Com
mencement day at Harvard University

The cheers that marked his passage
emong the buildings of the ancient
yard indicated his position as chief
guest of the day, while his presence
at the head of the table at the com
nencement luncheon in Memorial Kail
was the token that he was host by vir
tue of his office of president of the
Harvard -Alumni Association. It was
"Roosevelt of the class of 1880" today
end he had a busy time shaking hands
Svith old college friends.
Prominent Men Honored.
When Governor Hughes, of New Tork.
received his honorary degree in Sanders
Hall, the audience burst Into great
cheers and applause. J. Pierpont Mor
gan, the New York financier, and Gen
eral Horace Porter, ex-Ambassador to
France, also were awarded honorary
degrees.
Nearly a' thousand young men re
reived their diplomas today.
Colonel Roosevelt tonight went to
Isahant as guest of Senator Lodge.
In opening the alumni meeting. Col
onel Roosevelt said in part:
"In the first place, I come home with
an increased and hearty friendship and
frood will for other countries. I have
visited many different nations, and the
more I see of decent people of other
nationalities the more I realize the
truth of Abraham Lincoln's statement
that there is a deal of human nature
In mankind. A good man is a good
man anywhere and a scoundrel ought to
be made to pay the penalty of his
eoundrelism, whatever his birthplace
or nationality. And, with that feeling,
there has come a constantly increas
ing understanding on my part that the
man who wishes to be a good citizen
of the world must first and foremost
tie a good citizen of his own nation.
T. R. Appreciates World's Honors.
"I have been given honorary degrees in
Certain foreign universities on the con
tinent of Europe and in Egypt. I am
deeply grateful therefor; I appreciate the
ifrionor. It was the keenest pleasure to me
to visit those universities. I admire them
with all my heart. And now, having said
that, you will not misunderstand me
when I say that I come back feeling more
'truly than ever that the place for a man
to be educated is in his own home coun
try. ' Let him be sent to school and
university here in the United States. If
he has a chance to take a post-graduate-course
elsewhere, according as his tastes
and needs dictate, good; but let him have
the foundations laid here, where his citi
zenship must be exercised.
"Let me also point out that you cannot
be useful abroad unless you have the
respect abroad that only comes of your
usefulness being proved at home. No
man ought to receive or will receive re
spect abroad unless as an American he
has won his spurs in American life.
"I trust I need not say I speak in no
spirit of mere chauvanism. On the con
trary, I speak as I have said, from the
standpoint of one who sincerely admires
other nations, who has a sense of grate
ful appreciation of what they have done
for him, but whom is more than ever
convinced that to be useful to the world
at large it Is necessary, first, to be bone
of your bone and blood of your blood, a
citizen of your own country, dealing with
your own countrymen, able to do your
duty to the fullest extent in dealing with
the problems your fellow countrymen
have to solve.
University's Work Grand.
"It is important this university should
turn out scholars. It is more important
It should turn out, men able to do, to the
fullest extent what is required of them
by the complex needs of American citi
zenship, and remember always, that your
power to show respect to others will de
pend largely on your own self-reppect. In
the days when America mistrusted Itself,
America felt bound to assert Itself rather
. loudly in the face of foreign nations.
"The greater America's confidence
.grows in Itself, the more America be
comes strong and able to hold her own in
the face of any nation of the earth, the
nore ready America will become to treat
each and every nation in a spirit of the
fullest cordiality and friendship and the
Jess apt she will be to take offenses, not
merely needlessly, but to take offense
when there is some small need, but not
enough to warrant losing one's temper.
"The admission of inferiority In the
face of another power is often rendered
as evident by over quickness to resent
a fancied slight as it is by a tendency
to bow down to the other power and
America has reached the position when
sho need show neither one nor the other
form of admission of inferiority.
All Look Up to "America."
"One more word and then I am
through. . I was. struck by two things
everywhere I traveled abroad. One was
that the name 'America' stood as a
golden symbol of hope or all who felt
they were downtrodden, that through no
fault of their own they had failed to re
ceive the Justice to which they were en
titled in life. The name 'America'
stood as a symbol of aspiration, of the
possibility of realizing ideals according
to which every man, rich and poor,
should be treated on his worth as a man
and should be given an opportunity to
show that worth and to be Judged as he
succeeds in showing it.
"Now, you Harvard men here, you men
of America, if you won't see that your
house is put in order for your own sakes,
I suppose it would he useless to ask you
to put it in order for the sake of other
men; and yet I cannot imagine a more
stirring appeal being made to any people
than this well nigh voiceless appeal from
those who In other lands have not had
the treatment to which they are in Jus
tice entitled; who appeal to us to man
age our Republic according to the "high
est standards of morality and decency, so
that they can keep unshaken their faith
In a realizable ideal."

METHODISTS ARE SCORED
St. Paul Prelate. Declares "Go-Between"
Conspired to Defeat Un
derstanding Which Was Sure
to Have Been Reached.
. NEW TORK, June 29. Responding
to the address of the board of bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal Church is
sued May 16, Archbishop Ireland con
tributes to the forthcoming issue of
the North American Review an ex
tended article upon the Methodist Epis
copal Church in Italy, reviewing the
statement of the Methodist bishops and
Justifying the action of the Vatican In
connection with Colonel Roosevelt.
He quotes extensively from the writ
ings of Methodist missionaries, bishops
and newspapers in Italy attacking the
papacy, and sets forth that each -visit
of a public man of America to the
Methodist college in Rome has been
seized upon by the local representa
tives of the Methodist Church as an
occasion for insulting the Vatican. He
cites the cases of the visits of ex
Mayor Seth Low and Mr. Fairbanks.
High Salaries Paid Methodists.
He declares the Methodist preachers
in Italy are paid higher salaries than
those of other denominations; that
their work is confined chiefly to prose
lyting, and that the results have not
been at all commensurate with the cost
of the work. ,
Respecting the Roosevelt incident, he
says:
"As far as precedents gave lessons,
the Vatican could not . but fear that
pressure might be brought to bear on
him to Induce- him to lend his favor
to the institution of via ventl settem
bre. With the purpose and wiles of
the Institute, Mr. Roosevelt, it was
thought, probably was not conversant.
So far he has had no occasion to run
up against its ruling spirit. Rev. Mr.
Tipple. The honor of the Vatican was
supreme, as it should be, in the mind
of the cardinal; it must at all hazards
be safeguarded; neither must obstacles
intervene that should keep the doors
of the Vatican from being thrown wide
open in greeting Mr. Roosevelt.
"So, in reply to Mr. Roosevelt's re
quest for an audience, a message was
sent, courteous and confidential, ac
ceding, of course, to the request, yet
intimating the unpleasant position to
which the Vatican should be reduced
were there the least peril that what
had happened to Mr. Low and. to Mr.
Fairbanks, by any miscalculation or
oversight, would happen to him. The
more illustrious the visitor, the more
was he to be put on his guard.
Vatican Message Unfortunate.
"Unfortunately, the message of the
Vatican reached Mr. Roosevelt under the
cover of comments from the hand of
the American Ambassador to the quiri
nal and was read In the glare of those
comments. Certainly the situation was
perplexing. With the comments of Mr.
Leishman under his eyes, the answer
given by Mr. Roosevelt Is not a sur
prise to Americans.
"Subsequent development brought fur
ther confusion. There were other and
yet more embarrassing comments from
Mr. Leishman to Mr. Roosevelt; and there
was the cavalier and unwarranted declar
ation of Mr. O'Loughlln to the cardinal
that Mr. Roosevelt was Just the man to
go from the Vatican to the Methodist
hall. Circumstances, let us say, con
spired to defeat an understanding which
was sure to have been reached had Mr.
Roosevelt and the cardinal secretary of
state come face to face or had they
spoken to each other in' direct corres
pondence without hindrance by Inter
mediaries." "However, as things went, the car
dinal secretary of state, - supremely
preoccupied, as It was his duty to be,
with the necessity of safeguarding at
all hazards the honor of the holy see,
was allowed -no alternative.
Audience Made Impossible.
"The audience was made impossible.
Such was the Roosevelt incident, in
which, back of all the immediate cir
cumstances, the one controlling ele
ment was the American Methodist
Episcopal Church.
"The attitude of the Vatican towards
the Methodist mission must not be
other than it is. If, in this attitude,
there Is intolerance, it is the intoler
ance of vile insult and treacherous
fraud. With persons differing from it
in creed, honorable in their sincerity
and belief, and well-mannered in their
bearing, the Vatican is always most
tolerant, most courteous. But, as was
the Savior himself, so is the Vatican
severe and Intolerant when confronted
by the Pharisee and the money-changer
of the temple."
Twenty Detectives on Trail of Short
Line Train Kobbers.

Eilers Music House Opens Fine Establish
ment on Grand Avenue
"We take pleasure in announcing the formal
opening for active business of our new East
Side Store, at 84 Grand Avenue. (Opposite
Morgari-Atchley's.)
For some time we have watched the splen
did upbuilding of the East Side Business
Section. "We feel that a strictly up-to-date
Piano Store, conducted on the Eilers well
known " Small Profit and Quick Sales Pol
icy," will be given the support by loyal East
Siders to warrant the maintenance of such an
establishment.
We've acquired the quarters formerly oc
cupied by J. Roussellot & Co., and have in
stalled a most magnificent assortment of all
that is worthiest and 'best in upright Pianos,
Baby Grands, Player Pianos and Organs.
You'll find here the same low-price policy
the same courteous treatment 'the same
careful attention to detail which has re
sulted in Eilers Music House selling annually
more Pianos than all other dealers combined.
THE ADVANTAGES OF BUYING
OF EILERS MUSIC HOUSE
We will sell nothing that we know is
not right. When we sell to you it is
with the knowledge and the belief that
if we satisfy you, you will influence
your friends to deal with us.
We have utilized every modern econ
omy in order that we might give better
value and better satisfaction -to our
patrons. Buying and shipping in tre
mendous quantities, factory inspection
of pianos by our expert representa
tives, a binding guarantee with every
piano sold, a corps of expert tuners and
regulators all these have contributed
toward making the big following we
now have and making our business
what It now is.
As the piano purchaser knows the
advantages in buying from the Eilers
stores, so the manufacturer realizes
the advantage in selling through the
Eilers stores. No three piano stores
in any large city combined, can offer
the piano purchaser more variety and
merit in piano manufacture than we do.
From America's oldest and supreme
the grand old Chickering to the genu
ine Pianola Piano the newest crea
tion there is scarcely a name, well and
favorably known in the piano trade,
that does not find representation in
the Eilers stores. The Weber, the
favorite of the most appreciative musi
cians; the world-renowned Kimball; the
rich-toned and durable Lester; that
aristocrat of pianos, the Hazelton; the
genuine old Decker; the old reliable
Schumann; the artistic Hobart M.
Cable: the Marshall & Wendell; the
Story & Clark all these, and many
others, are significant guarantees of
piano excellence.
To buy a piano of the Eilers stores
means to have the service of piano
experts In making the selection for
you it means a guarantee which in
sures you against disappointment in
any way, and best of all, it means that
you are enabled to secure a high-grade
piano for the money that would other
wise be paid for an Inferior instrument.
