The nice thipg about a rain
coat is, you can wear it in shine
as well as rain, and look well.
The best fact about bur rain
coats is, they're made for us by
Hart Schaffner &" Marx,. which
is only a short way of .saying
that there are no better rain
coats to be had anywhere ; and
that you'll think so yourself if
you buy one. We have plenty
of other good overcoats to show
you; we'll show you the Hart

Gettysburg, Pa., May 10. On hls
torli Cemetery bill, overlooking ground
hallowed by the blood of half a hun
dred thousand brave men, and In tht
presence of a concourse of thousands
who assembled to pay tribute to the
memory of the nation's dead, President
Roosevelt today delivered a notable
address. , " .', !
On nearly the same spot, on Novem
ber 19, 18J, President Lincoln deliver
ed the Immortal address enunciating
principles which have rung around the
world 'r more than a th!i-4 of a eerifj
tur. ' . ;
President Roosevelt was escorted to
the cemetery on the battlefield by
body of several hundred veterans of
the ClvU war. The president and his
special escort were preceded by several
organisations. Including a squadron of
United States cavalry, the Third Unit
ed States artillery and the marine band
of Washington, which had been ordered
here for the occasion. Mrs. Roosevelt
and other members of the president's
nartv followed In carriages. The rear
of the procession consisted of civic or
ganlaattons and cltlsens in carriage
Governor Pennypacker presided at the
ceremonies, ' which were held on the
rostrum of the cemetery.1 i
After the Memorial day service of
the G. A. R. had been concluded, and
the pupils ef tho public schools had
strewn flowers on the graves of the
thousands of dead, during which cere
mony the marine band played a solemn
dirge; Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale,
chaplain of the United States senate,
pronounced the Invocation. The presi
dent waa then Introduced by Governor
Pennypacker. ' ' .
The president said: ;
Tho place where we now are has won
a double distinction. Here was fought
one of the great battles of all time,
and here was spoken one of the few
speeches which shall last through the
ages. As long as this republic endures
or Its history la known, so long shall
the memory of the battle of Gettysburg
likewise endure and be known; and as
long aa the English tongue Is under
stood, so long shall Abraham Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech thrill the hearts of
mankind. , , , . i
The ClvU war waa a great war for
righteousness; a war waged for the
noblest Ideals, but waged also In thor
oughgoing, practical fashion. It was
one or toe rew wars wnicn mean, in
their successful outcome, a lift toward
better things for the nations of man
kind. Some wars have meant the tri
umph of order over anarchy and li
centiousness masquerading aa liberty;
some wars have meant the triumph of
liberty Over tyranny masquerading as
order; but this victorious war of ours
meant the triumph of both liberty and
order, the triumph of orderly liberty,
the bestowal of ctvll rights upon the
freed slaves, and at the same time
the stem Insistence on the supremacy
of the national law throughout the
length and breadth of the land. More
over, this was one of those rare con
tests In which It was to the immeasur
able Interest of the vanquished that
they should lose, while at the same
time the victors acquired the precious
privilege of transmitting to those who
came after them, aa a heritage ' of
honor forever, not only the memory
it their own valiant deeds,' but the
memory of the deeds of those who, no
less valiantly and with equal sincerity
of purpose, fought against the stars
In their courses. The war left to us
al as fellow-countrymen, as brothers,
have not the power and the will suc
cessfully to assume the responsibility
of using It aright.' In his recent ad
mirable little volume on freedom and
responsibility In democratic govern
ment, president Hadley, of Tale, has
pointed out that the freedom which Is
worth anything is the freedom which
means self-government and not an
archy. Freedom thus conceived la a
constructive force, which enables an
Intelligent and good man to do better
