the or capita of circulation been us
large it Is this Jay; ami this circula

of which is nt par with gold. Now. our
having this sound currency system Is
f ben-llt to banks, of course, but It Is
of Infinitely more benefit to the oile

In the way of remedial or corrective

Among ourselves we differ In many
oualitictt, of body, head and heart; we
are unkindly developil. mentally a
well as physically. iUit each of us has
ths right to ask that he rtiiill be protect
ed from wrongdoing as ju do his
work and curries his burden through
life. No man needs sympathy Wcuuse
he has to work, because he has a bur
den to cairy. Far and away the Inst
prize thit life off era Is the chance to
work hard at work worth doing; and
this is a prize open to every man, for
there can bo no work better worth di
njf than that done to keep In health
and comfort and with reasonable ad
vantages those Immediately ii pendent
UHn the husband, the father, or the
son.
There Is no room in our healthy Amer
lean life for the mere Idler, for the man
or the woman whose object it Is
throughout life to shirk the duties
which life ought to bring. Life can
mean nothing worth meaning, tmlesii
Its prime aim Is the doing of duty, the
achievement of results worth achieving.
A recent writer has finely aid: "After
all, the saddest thing that can happen
to a man is to carry no burdens. To be
bent under too great a load Is bad; to
be crushed by It is lamentable; but
even In that there are possibilities that
arc glorious. Hut to carry no load at
all there is nothing In that. No one
seems to urrive at any goal really worth
reaching In this world who docs not
coma to It heavy laden,"
Surely from our own exHrietice each
one of us knout) that th is true. From
the greatest to the smallest, happln'ss
and usefullnevs are largely found In
the same soul, and the Joy of life Is won
In Us deepest and trumt s -nse only by
those who have not shirked life's bur
dens. The nam wWmi we most delight
to honor In all this land are those who.
In thp ft-nn v.:iru ffrtm '1 tj, T.-, lu.r., jnt
their sh-Jjld-rs the burden of saving j
the Union. Tli-v did not choose the
asy task. They did not shirk the dif
ficult duty. Deliberately and of their
own fre will they strove for an Ideal,
upward and onward across the stony
slopes of greatness. They did the hard
est work that wax then to be done;
they bore the heaviest burden that any
generation of Americans ever had to
bear; an.1 because they did this th-y
iav won such proud Joy as it h:is fal
len to the lot of no other men to win,
and have written their names forever
more on the golden honor roll of the na
tion. As it is with the soldier, so It
Is with the civilian. To win success In
the buHinss world. It becomes a first
class mechanic, a successful farmer, an
able laivysr or doctor, means that the
man has devote- his best energy and
power through long years to the aehelv
ment of his ends. Ho It Is In the life
of the family, upon which In
the last analysis the whole wel
fare of the nation rests. The man
or woman who as bread winner and
home maker, or as wife and mother,
has done all that he or she can do, pa
tiently and uncomplalngly, Is to be hon
ored; nnd Is to be envied by all those
who have never had the good fortune
to feel the need and duty of doing such
work. The woman who has borne, and
who has reared as they should be rear
ed, a family of children, has In the
most emphatic manner deserved well of
the Eepublic. Her burden has been
heavy and she has been able to bear It
worthily only 'by the possession of res
olution of good sense.ot consclence.and
of unselfishness. But if she has borne
It well, then to her shall come the su
preme blessing, for In the words of the
oldest and greatest of bonks, "Her
children shall rise up and call her bless
ed;" and among the benefactors of the
lund her place must be with those who
hv done the host and the hardest
work, whether as taw giver or as sol
diers, whether In public or In private
life;
Thli Is not a soft und easy creed to
preach. It Is a creed willingly learned
only by men and women who. together
with the softer virtues, possess also the
stronger; who can do. and dare, and
tllv at need, but who while life lasts will
never tlliuh from their allotted task.
You farmers, and wage-workers, and
business men of this great state, of this
mighty and wonderful nation, are gath
ered together today, proud of yur
state and still prouder of your nation,
bTause your forefathers ami prede
cessors have lived up to Just this creed.
You have received from their lunula M
great Inheritance, und you will Imvi
an even greater Inheritance to your
children and your children's children,
provided only that you practice alike
In your prlvnte and your public lives
the string virtues that has given us as
a people greatness In the past. It Is
not enough to bo well meaning und
kindly, but weak; neither Is It enough
to bo strong, unless molality and de
cency go hand In hand with strength.
We must possess the qualities which
make us do our duty in our homes und
among our nelghliors, and In addition
we must ssess the qualities which are
Indespeiisable to the make-up of every
great and masterful nation the qual
ities of courage and hardihood, of Indi
vidual Initiative and yet of power to
combine for a common end, and above
atl.the resolute determination to permit
no man and no set of men to sunder us
one from the other by Hues of caste or
creed or section. We must net upon
the motto of all for ench and mch, for
all. There must be ever present In our
minds the fundamental truth that in
;( republic such as ours the only safety
is to stVnd neither for nor against any
man because he tit rich or because he Is
poor because he Is engaged In one oc
cupation or another, because he works
with his brains or because he works
wi (Whls hands. We must treat each
man on his worth and merits as a man.
We nvprt see that each is given a
square deal, because he is entitled to
no more und should receive no less.
Finally we must keep ever In mind that
a republic such as ours can exist only
In virtu? of the orderly liberty which
comes through the equal domination
i f the law over all men alike, and
ttirouvh Its administration In such res
olute and fearless fashion us shall
leach all th.it no man Is above It und
no man below It.
