1 THE r OREGON DAILY JOTJKNAL, PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1908. 11IUHTT0 FIGHTING PHIL Equestrian Statue of the Hero of Winchester Un veiled at National Capital President Roosevelt De livers Address. UnlU4 PrtM UiHd Wtrt.t Washington, Nov. 15. Tb national , capital paused briefly In Its grind of official business this afternoon while tribute was paid to Philip H. Sheridan, soldier and patriot, when the Borgium statue of the dashing cavalry leader was unveiled in the presence of the president, his cabinet and many prom inent guests. The statue Is. placed In Sheridan circle at the intersection of Massachusetts avenue and Twenty-third street, where a vast crowd of people congregated to witness the unveiling ceremony. President Roosevelt was es corted from the White House to the place of the unveiling by a considerable numoer or troops. . Lieutenant Sheridan, son of General Sheridan, had the honor of pulling the cords that loosened the drapery of flags concealing the monument As the statue came into full view Its magnificence was strikingly presented to the people. A mighty cheer was heard, while the military band present played the na tional anthem. The unveiling was the culmination of the program of addresses In which noted speakers paid eloquent tribute to the character, devoted fealty to country and the courageous qualities of the hero who is known to history as "Little Phil." President Roosevelt was greeted with hearty applause as he stepped forward to deliver his address. He spoke in his usual earnest and em phatic way and frequently was applauded. Eixperis aeciare mat tne memorial 10 General Sheridan is one of the, finest pieces of equestrian sculpture In the country. The statue is of bronie and of heroic size. It depicts General Sher idan on the back of his famous Ken tucky steed "Rensl," in the very act of turning his fleeing soldiers at Cedar Creek after his historic 21 mile ride from Winchester, With one hand he is holding back his powerful horse, while with the other, in which his hat is clutched, he is waring to his men. The attitude represents him at the very mo ment when he shouts out the words: "Come on, boys, we're going back," and rallies hi men to a charge that turns defeat Into victory. The address or President Roosovelt follows: President Boossvslt's Address. It Is eminently fitting that the na tion's Illustrious men, the men who loom as heroes before the eyes of our people, should be fittingly commemo rated here at the national capital, and I am glad indeed to take part in the unveiling of this statue to General Sher idan. His name will always stand high on the list of American worthies. Not only was he a. great general,, but he Showed his greatness with that touch of originality which we call genius. In deed this quality of brilliance has been in one sense a disadvantage to his rep utation, for It has tended to overshadow his solid ability. We tend to think of htm only as the dashing cavalry leader, whereas he was In reality not only that, but also a great commander. -Of course, the fact in his career most readily rec ognised was his mastery In the neces sarily modern art of handling masses of modern cavalry so as to give them the fullest possible rffect. not only In the ordinary operations of cavalry which precede and follow a battle, but In the battle itself. But In addition he showed In the civil war that he was a first class army commander, both as a sub ordinate of Grant and when In Inde pendent command. His record In the Valley campaign, and again from Five Forks to Appomattox. Is one difficult to parallel in military history. After the close of the great war. in a field where there was scant glory to be won by the general in chief, he rendered a signal service which has gone almost unnoticed: for In the tedious weary In dian wars on the great plains it was he who developed in thorough going fash ion the system of campaigning fii win ter, which, at the cost of bitter hard ship and perl), finally broke down the banded strength of those formidable warriors, the horse Indians. 1 Ssssnts Taunt of Materialism. His career Vwas typically American,! for from plain beginnings he rose to the highest military position In our iana. we nonor his memory itself: and moreover, as in the case of the other great commanders of his day, his ca reer symbolises the careers of all those men who in the years of the nation's direst need sprang to the front to risk everything, including life itself, and to spend the days of their strongest young manhood In valorous conflict for an ideal. Often we Americans are taunted with having only a material ideal. The empty folly of the taunt Is sufficiently i - "Man Is As Old As His Stomach" This Persian Epigram Is the Real Gauge of a Man's Life. The Persians were a very sagacious ?eople, noted among other things, for heir deep thinking on life and the things which make up Ufa. The above epigram shows the wis dom oi tneir thought. When a man's stomach la ahle tn fur. nlsh new material to the system as fast or faster than the natural decay of man requires, tnen such a man lives his fullest and his best When through wrong living or dis ease a man's stomach begins to tax the other organs and takes from the b)ood strength which it cannot give DacK in nounanmeni laxen rrom rood, then begins the death of man and he decays .fast. The stomach is strong, splendidly strong, and can stand an untold amount of abuse and neglect, but when it dies, man dies. The stomach givestons upon tons of good rich blood every year to the sys tem and draws only 680 lbs. of nourish ment for Its own use. If, however, the food which K receives cannot be turned Into blood which is capable of nse by the body, then the stomach receives no help from the other organs. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the most perfect digestive qualities known to science and at the same time the most powerful. They will mix with the poisonous juices of a sick stomach and digest food In spite of this handi cap. ;, They will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of the whole digestive canal, including those of the stomach. A single ingredient contains strength enough to digest 8,000 times Its weight In mixed food. . !

In all history we have no greater instanee of subordination of self, of the exalting of a lofty ideal ever merely material well being among the people of a great na tion, than was shown by our own people in -the civil war. The "Chasm" TUled Up. . And you, the men who wore the' blue, would be the first to say that this same loft indlffarance to the thlnas of the body, when compared to the things of the soul, was shown oy your oromers who wore the gray. Dreadful was the suffering, dreadful the loss, of the civil war. Vat it at&nda alone anions' wars in this, that, now that the wounds are healed, the memory of the mighty deeds of valor performed on one side .no less than on the other has beooma the com mon heritage of all our people In every quarter or tnis country The AmnlatAness with, which this Is true Is shown by what Is occurring here today. We meet, togetner to . raise a monument to a great Union general, in the presence of many of the survivors of the Union army; and the secretary of war, the man at the head of the army, who, by virture of his office, occupies a special relation to the cele bration. Is himself a man who fought in the Conf edarata service. Few. Indeed. have been the countries where such a conjunction would have been possible and blessed indeed are we that In our own beloved land it Is not only possi ble, but seems so entirely natural as to excite no comment Whatever. What Americanism eally is. There is another point in General Sheridan's career which it Is good for all of us to remember. Whereas Grant, Sherman and Thomas were of the old native American stock, the parents of Sheridan, like tha narenta of FarraguF. were born on the other side of the water. Any one of the live was just as much a type of the real American, of what Is best in America, as the other four. We should keep steadily before our minds the fact that Americanism Is a question of principle, of purpose, of idealism, or character; tnat it is not a matter of birthplace, or creed, or line of descent. Here in this country the representatives of many old-world races are being fused together Into a new type, a type the main features of which are already determined, and were de termined at the time of the Revolution ary war; for the crucible in which all the new types are melted into one was shaped from 1T76 to 1789, and our na tionality was definitely fixed in all Its essentials by the men of Washington's day. The strains will not continue to exist separately tn this country as in the old world. They will be combined In one, and of this new type those men will best represent what Is loftiest In the nation's past, what Is finest in her hope for the future, who stand each solely on his worth as a man, who scorn to do evil to others, and who refuse to submit to wrongdoing themselves, who have in them no taint of weakness, who never fear to fight when fighting is, demanded by a sound and high moral ity, but who hope by their lives to bring ever nearer the day when Justice and peace shall prevail within our own bor ders and in our relations with all for eign powers. Civil War's lesson for Today. Much of fhe usefulness of any career must He in the Impress that it makes upon, and the lessons that it teaches to. the generations that come after. We of this generation have our own problems to solve, and the condition of our solving them is that we shall all work together as American citizens without regard to differences of sec tion or creed or birthplace, copying, not the divisions which so lamentably sundered our fathers one from nnolliei, but the spirit of burning devotion to duty whim drove them forward, each todo the right as It was given him to see the right, in the great years when Grant, Farragut, Sherman, Thomas, and Sheridan, when Lee and Jackson, an.l the valiant men of the north and the valiant men of the south, fought to a finish the great civil war. They did not themselves realize. In the bitterness of the struggle that the blood and the grim suffering marked the death throes of what was worn out, and the birth pangs of a new and more glori ous national life. Mighty is the her itage which we have received from the men of the mighty days. We. in our turn, must gird up our loins to meet the new Issues with the same stern courage and resolute adherence to an ideal, which marked our fathers who belonged to the generation of the man In whose honor we commemorate this monument today. faPwTo grace booths Washington State College Will Be Represented at the Apple Show.

Thanks giving for more year than hs can tell still has the same difficulties in taking off the legs, cutting on the white meat and getting out the dressing that he linn on tne rirst turkey he ever carved. When it comes to the nawlv wadriad husbands, their case is almost hopeless and only careful study and some prac tice can enablo them to properly and easily carve the always popular turkey on Thanksgiving day. So much trouble has arisen over this simple operation that it has now be come quite the habit to carve the tur key in the kitchen and bring It to the table ready to serve. But this does away witn one of the most pleasant features of the Thanksgiving dinner, and a feature which makes It seem more realistic will be encountered in getting the dressing. The legs should always be to the right Having Imbedded the fork securely in the . breast - it should not be removed until all the meat is off the fowl ready to serve. The fork should be grasped firmly in the left hand and all of the operation there after, done with the knife, r 1 1 Diagram No. 2, showing the cor rect way to remove the legs and wings from the Thanksgiving turkey. Diagram No, 1, showing, the cor rect way to take out the dressing. The carving of the turkey Is not so difficult on operation as it has been pictured In fiction and oftentimes in life. There are many methods em ployed and any prescribed rule has to be varied to some extent but the most successful maintain that above all things the fork should be first placed midway between the wings and legs in the breast of the fowl as it is laid on its back with the legs on the right. Care should be taken to see that the fowl is correctly placed before at tempting to serve; otherwise trouble First cut the meat as Indicated on the diagram, In front of the second Joint of the leg. on the side nearest the carver. Thi is a straight cut downward. Do not attempt te unlolnt the "leg from this side. After the cut has been made, the knife should be then inserted underneath the leg and worked np to the second joint, along the body of the fowl. If the turkey is tender end the knife sharp there will be no trouble in finding the second Joint and removing the leg. The Same operation applies to the other extreme-ties. ,1 Diagram No. 3, showing the cor rect way to slice the white meat. After the legs and wings have been Vigorous at 78 Mr. Larkin C.
