TO MAYOR STRAW
Captain MncRcnii of Breakwater
Writes I'oem for Bride and
Groom Passengers.
Captain Macgenn of the Break
water, who has considerable fame as
a poet, has written a clever little
verse which he has dedicated to his
friend, Dr. E. E. Straw, mayor of
Marshfield, who was married recently
and who returned yesterday on the
Breakwater with his bride.
The poem Is entitled, "To the Lady
That Inspired the Knight," and Is as
follows:
Soul of my body and love of my
heart,
That In storm or tempest I never will
part;
True as the charger he rides In the
field,
And the stout lance the bold rider
did wield;
Strong as the corslet that covered his
breast,
Pure on tho snow plume that waved
on his crest;
Grand as himself In the thick of the
fight,
Is the fair lady that Inspired the
knight.
Constant and true ns tho sun in the
west,
She was the lady that he loved the
best.

JAMESTOWN
EXPOSITION
(Continued from page 4.)
Famine and pestilence and war
menaced the little band of daring
men who had planted themselves
alone on the edge of a frowning con
tinent. Moreover, as men ever find,
whether In the tiniest frontier com
munity or in the vastest and mo3t
highly organized and complex civi
lized society, their worst foes wore
in their own bosoms. Dissension,
distrust, the Inability of some to
work and tho unwillingness of others,
jealousy, arrogance and envy, folly
and laziness In short all the short
comings with which we have to grap
ple now, were faced by thoso pio
neers, and at moments threatened
their whole enterprise with absolute
ruin. It was some time before tho
ground on which they had landed
supported them, In spite of its po
tential fertility, and they looked
across the sea for supplies. At one
moment so hopeless did they become
that the whole colony embarked, and
was only saved from abandoning the
country by tho opportune arrival of
help from abroad.
Reach Independence.
'('At last they took root in the land,
and were already prospering when
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
In a few years a great Inflow of set
tlers began. Four of the present
states of New England were founded.
Virginia waxed apace. The Carollnas
grew up to the south of It, and Mary
land to the north of it. The Dutch
colonies between which had already
absorbed tho Swedish, were In turn
absorbed by the English. Pennsyl
vania was founded and, later still,
Georgia. There were many wars
with the Indians and with the daunt
less captains whose banners bore the
lilies of France. At last the British
flag flow without a rival in all east
ern North America. Then came the
successful struggle for national in
dependence.
"For half a century after we be
came a separate nation there was
comparatively little immigration to
this country. Then the tide once
again set hither, and has flowed In
over-increasing size until In each
of the last three years a greater
number of people came to these
shores than had landed on them
during the entire colonial period.
Generation by generation these peo
ple have been absorbed into the na
tional life. Generally their sons, al
most always their grandsons, are
indistinguishable from one another
and from their fellow-Americans de
cended from the colonial stock. For
all alike the problems of our exist
ence aro fundamentally the same,
and for all alike these problems
change from generation to genera
tion. The Expansion.
"In the colonial period, and for
at least a century after Its close, the
conquest of the continent, the ex
pansion of our people westward, to
the Alleghenies, then to the Missis
sippi, then to tho Pacific was nlwayn
one of the most Important tasks, and
sometimes the most important, in our
national life. Behind the first set
tlers tho conditions grew easier, and
in tho older settled regions of all the
colonies life speedily assumed much
of comfort and something of luxury;
and though generally It was on a
nnicii more democratic basis than
life in tho old world, It was by no
means democratic when judged by
our modern standards; and hero and
there, as in tho tlde-wnter regions
of Virginia, a genuine aristocracy
grow and flourished. But tho men
who first broke grounds In tho vir
gin wilderness, whether on tho At
lantic const, or In the interior, fought
hard for mero life. In tho early
stages tho frontiersman had to do
battlo with tho savage, and when tho
savago was vanquished there remain
ed tho harder strain of war with tho
hostile forces of soil and climate,
with flood, fever, and famine.
Thoro was sickness, and bittor woath
or; thoro verc no roa: thoro wan
a complete lack of all but tho very
roughest and no3t absolute necossl-
tios. Under such clmcumstnnces tho
mon and womon who mndH rmHi-
tho contlnont for civilization wero
able thomselves to sponjl but llttlo
timo in doing aught but tho rough
work which was to make smooth tho
ways of their successors. In conso
quonce observers whose insight was
spoiled by lack of sympathy always
found both tho settlers and their
lives unattractive and repellent. In
Martin Chuzzelwlt tho description of
America, culminating in the descrip
tion of the frontier town of Eden,
was true and lifelike from the stand
point of one content to look merely
at the outer shell; and yet it was
a community like Eden that gave
birth to Abraham Lincoln; It was
men such as were therein described
from whoso lolns Andrew Jackson
sprang.
Lender From Virginia.
"Hitherto each generation among
us has had its allotted task, now
heavier, now lighter. In the Revo
lutionary war the business was to
achieve Independence. . Immediately
afterwards there was an even more
momentous task; that to achieve the
national unity and the capacity for
orderly development, without which
our liberty, our Independence, would
have been a curse and not a blessing.
In each of these two contests, while
there were many great leaders from
many different states, It Is but fnlr
to say that the foremost place was
taken by the soldiers and the states
men of Virginia, and to Virginia was
reserved the honor of producing the
hero of both movements, the hero
of tho war, and of the peace that
made good the results of the war
George Washington; while the two
great political tendencies of the time
can be symbolized by the names of
two other great Virginians Jeffer
son and Marshall from one of whom
we inherit the abiding trust in the
people which Is the foundation stono
of democracy, and from the other tho
power to develop on behalf of the
people a coherent and powerful gov
ernment, a genuine and representa
tive nationality.
The Civil Wnr.
"Two generations passed before
the second great crisis of our history
had to be faced. Then came the
Civil war, terrible and bitter In itself
and in Its aftermath, but a struggle
from which tho nation finally emerg
ed united In fact as well as In name,
united forever. Oh, my hearers, my
fellow countrymen, great indeed has
been our good fortune; for as time
clears away the niists that once
shrouded brother from brother and
made each look 'as through a glass
darkly' at the other, we can all feel
the same pride in the valor, the devo
tion and the fealty toward the right
as It was given to each to see right,
shown alike by the men who wore the
blue and by tho men who wore the
gray. Rich and prosperous though
we are as a people, the proudest
heritage that each of us ha3, no mat
ter where he may dwell, north or
south, east or west, Is the immaterial
heritage of feeling, the right to claim
as his own all the valor and all the
steadfast devotion to duty shown
by the mon of both the great armies,
of the soldiers whose leader was
Grant and the soldiers whoso 'leader
was Lee. The men and the' women
of the Civil wnr did their duty brave
ly an well In the days that were dark
and terrible and splendid. We,
ttieir descendants, who pay proud j
homage to their memories, and glory
In the feats of might of one side -no
less than the other, need to keep
steadily inmlnd that the homage
which counts is the homage of heart ample legitimate profits as will en
and hand, and not of the lips, the j courage Individual initiative. It is
homage of deeds and not of words our business to prevent their re-
only. We, too, In turn, must prove
our truth by our endeavor. We must
show ourselves worthy sons of the
men of mighty days by the way in
which we meet the problems of our
own time. We carry our heads high
because our fathers did well in years j
that tried men's souls; and wo must
In our turn so bear ourselves that
the children who como after may feel
that we too have done our duty.
Self Government.
"We cannot afford to forget the
maxim upon which Washington In
sisted, that the surest way to avert
war Is to bo prepared to meet It.
Nevertheless tho duties that most
concern us of this generation are not
military, but social and industrial,
Each community must always dread
the evils which spring up as attend
ant upon the very qualities which
tilves it success. We of this mighty
western republic to grapplo with the
dangers that spring from popular i
self-government tried on a scale In-1
comparably vaster than ever before
In the history of mankind, and from
an abounding material prosperity
greater also than anything which tho
world has hitherto seen.
"As regards the first set of dan-
gors, it behooves us to remember that j big scale or a llttlo one, shall receive
men ran never escape being gov-'at our hands mercy as scant as it he
erned. Either they must govern j committed crimes of violence or

lawlessness or fickleness, from folly future; wo have no intention of try

govorn themselves, then most ' vengance for wrongs done In the

as is true in our republic, the people
are sovereign, then the people must

Controling AVcnlth.
"In industrial matters our enor
mous prosperity has brought with
it certain grave evils. It is our duty
to try to cut out these evils without
at the same time destroying our well
being Itself. This is an era of combi
nation alike In the world of capital
and In the world of labor. Each
kind of combination can do
good,
,and yet each, however powerful,
must be opposed when It does ill.
At the moment the greatest problem
before us is how to exercise such
control over tho business use of vast
wealth, Individual, but especially
corporate, as will insure its" not be
ing used against the interests of the
public, while yet permitting such
currence, without showing a spirit
i nf mere vindictlveness for what has
boen done in the past. In John
Morley's brilliant sketch of Burke
he Jays especial stress upon the fact
that Burke more than almost anv
other thinker or
time realized the
politician of his
profound lesson
that In politics we aro concerned not
with barren rights but with duties;
not with abstract truth, but with
practical morality. Ho especially
euliglzes the way In which In his
efforts for economic reform, Burke
combined unshakable resolution In
pressing tho reform with a profound
temperateness of spirit which made
him, while bent on the extirpation
of tho evil system, refuse to cherish
an unreasoning and vindlcltlve 111
will toward tho men who had bene
fitted by it. Said Burke 'If I cannot
reform with equity, I will not re
form at all. There is a state
to preserve as well as a state to re-
form.
Reform of Abuses.
"This Is tho exact spirit in which
this country should move to tho re
form of abuses of corporate wealth.
Tho wrong-doer, tho man who

of property when we make It evident
that wo will not tolerate the abuses

property; we combat every tendency
toward reducing the people to econo
mic servitude; and we care not
whether tho tendency Is due to a
sinster agitation directed against all
property, or whether It Is due to tho
actions of those members of the
predatory classes whose anti-social
power is lmmeasureably increased
because of the very fact that they
possess wealth.
Must Have Same Spirit.
"Above all, wo Insist that while
facing changed conditions and new
problems, we must' face them In tho
spirit which our forefathers showed
when they founded and preserved
this republic. The cornerstonR of
the republic lies in in our treating
each man on his worth n3 a man,
paying no heed to his creed, his
birthplace, or his occupation, asking
not whether he is rich or poor,
whether he labors with head or
hand; asking not whether he acts
decently and honorably in tho vari
ous relations of his life, whether he
behaves well to his family, to his
neighbors, to tho state. We has
our regard for each man on tho es
sentials and not tho accidents. We
judge him not by his profession, but
by his deeds; by his conduct, not by
what he has acquired of this world's
goods. Other republics have fallen,
because the citizens gradually grew
to consider the interests of tho
whole; for when such was the case
It mattered llttlo whether It was tho
poor who plundered tho rich or tho
rich who exploited the poor; in.
either event the end of the republic
was at hand. We are resolute in
our purpose not to fall Into such a
Pit. This great republic of ours
shall never become the government
nf fi rt1it-n
, - .. n.utun-ucy, ana it shall never

n , m. sovurnment of a mob.
God willing, it shall remain what our
fathers who founded It meant it to
be-a government In which each
man stands on his worth as a man,
where each Is given the largest per
sonal liberty consistent with secur
ing the well-being of the whole, and
where, so far as In us lies, wo strive
continually to secure for each mau
such equality of opportunity that in
the strife of life ho may have a fair
