President Roosevelt and part? reached here from Dubuque at 8 o'clock, and im mediately afterwards were driven to the site pf the Lincoln-Douglas de bate in 1858, where a monument co memoiating the event was unveiled in the presence of many thousands from Freeport and vicinity. At the courthouse the president was intro duced by Congressman Ilitt. The president referred to the debate as an event of farreachingimportance. He complimented the women's club of Freeport which erected the mon ument. President Roosevelt spoke as follows: "It is eminently fitting that this monument given by 'the women of this , city in commemoration of the i'reat debate that here took place be recalled by the man whose deeds made good the words of Abraham Lincoln and the soldiers of the Civil war. 1 he word was mighty, and had it not been for the word the deeds could not have . taken place. But without the deeds, the words would have been the idlest breath. It is forever to the honor of our nation that brought ( the statement that could pierce the clouds that ob scured the sight of the keenest of his fellows, and could see what the future inevitably held. And more over that we had back of the states man and behind him the men to whom it was given to . fight the greatest war ever waged for the'good of mankind and for the betterment of the world." v '; At 8:30 the party was driven to the depot and left for Rockford.

The loss of property has ially greeted by a committea of sixf t headed by Charles E. Jackson, and -escorted to Memorial hall. Con-j gressman Hitt introduced the presi dent to the vast audience, and the president made a brief response, after which came the unfurling of the flag over the memorial structure. The president and party then re turned to their carriages and en- ioved 'a short drive through the principal streets, first passing in re view before some 4,000 school children massed at a park adjoining the . memorial building grounds.
