The American people have been
awakened with prideyea, they have
been startled by the advent of this
new factor in Jires activities yes,
even the world looks with approbation
and envy upon this new and most
wonderful type of citizenship youth
great, toalous, unselfish youth
Patriotism and pride prompt us t3
eulogize the great works of Washing
ton and Lincoln as types worthy of
the emulation of any Individual.
But when we reflect upon the up
right, honest and fearless principles
f our present day statesmen and
champions of the people Roosevelt,
Hughes, La Follette, Folk and the
many others, who, by virtue of the
Integrity and zeal displayed In the
cause of the public welfare," have en
deared themselves to their country'
men when we thing of their ardent
endeavors, their achievements In be
half of humanity, we are constrained
to point to them aa the worthy em
todyment of the highest type of cltl
zenshlp of the 20th century. Their
lives, their work, their courage are
the objects of universal applause
These'are all young men; they have
attained their positions not by leaps
and bounds, but step by step. Slowly
but surely they have climbed the lad
der of life; never forgetting their duty
to themselves nor that of their fel
lowman: These men represent the
new type of citizenship a type des
tined to become the acknowledged
loaders of the world a type ho next
as they are democratic, generous as
energetic.
me earnestness and success with
which these men have engaged In the
larger activities of life demonstrate' a
great fact, one which should be ap
parent to every young and energetic
American, that this Is a land of op
portunlty, a land wherein every anr
bltlous youth,' Inspired by a vision of
highest usefulness, may realize that:
"Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us.
Footprints on the sands of time."
These men have all grasped the
hand of opportunity; so must every
one who would succeed.
No country teems with such advan
tages for her sons; no country con
tributes so much toward their future
happiness, peace and prosperity as our
own. What loyal son of America
does not feel his heart swell with
gratitude and thanksgiving? Who
would not rejoice In the consciousness
f living In a land so rich, so wonder
ful, a nation buildod upon the rock of
democracy, a nation abounding in
educational facilities unparalleled, un-equoled?
Here, under the dominion of de
mocracy, the youth stands unhamper
ed by the tyranny of monarchies, the
laws of kings. Here, he may develop,
broaden, create and Invent without
the suggestion or restraint of anv
man. Here, in an environment of
free education, he may attain a power
and efficiency enabling him to cope
successfully with the severest obsta
cles of life.
Here, with these two valuable ad
juncts of progress democracy on one
hand and the manifold Institutions of
learning on the other the youth may
become a factor hitherto undreamed,
power well nigh supreme.
Opportunity is abroad In the land.
The youth who is alert will hoed his
voice proclaiming:
Master of human destinies am I!
Fame, love and fortune on my foot-
. steps wait,
Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing
by
Hovel and mart and palace, soon or
late,
knock unbidden onco at every gate;
If sleeping, wake; If feasting, rise
before
turn away. It Is the hour of fate
And they who follow, reach to every
state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death "
receiving with outstretched hands up
right and vigorous manhood, for his
strength and energy is essenUal to
progress and development; his Inspir
ing presence, the harbinger of con
tinued prosperity.
A few years ago a student In one
of our medical colleges committed
suicide, leaving; this nathetii? note:
"I die because there Is no more room
for doctors." His misfortune Im
presses one with the truth that there
Is no more room' for the quack, but
broad field for the physician: no
more room for the pettifoger, but
trlefs abundant for the Jurist: no
more room for the politician, but a
brilliant opening for the statesman.
The world will not accept sham dis
guised In the cloak of knowledge.
It demands the real, the genuine; It I
crying for genius.
This age of progress, this 20th cen
opportunity. It offers so much to the
creative or Inventive mind. Here la
room for all. Here are great fields
of unsurpassed fertility, as yet un
touched by the plow. Here are great
waters with power unused, awaiting
training and taming by the hand of
man. Here stands forests with tim
bers so large and plentiful as to meet
the needs and requirements of the
world. Here are hills and mountains
rich beyond measure with minerals
still burled. Yes, here is everything
that should make men prosperous and
happy. And here will remain all
these riches of the earth until youth
awakens and grasps these opportunl
ties, these matchless opportunities
which are held In store.
Who could live amid such scenic
beauties, such natural wonders, with
out being inspired, without being ele
vated by them all? Each of these
creations of God should bear a lesson
to every youth. Look. If you will, to

Wk Hi mt eia
the youth of today Intends to meet
with success, he must first mould well
his character. It Is the foundation
upon which his life is bullded. To
make the most of his opportunities.
ne must see that the foundation Is
substantial. For when. It begins to
crumoie, so win the superstructure
fall. The man who is determined.
energetic, honest, and above all, actu
ated only by unselfish motives, will
not only attain the goal of his ambl
tlon, but become a-public benefactor,
and inspiration to men.
Determination and energy are the
essential factors In the fulfillment of
any definite purpose. They are
words which fitly distinguish the
American people as a nation. There
has been no great epoch or event In
American life which Is not stamped
with determination and the result of
energy. And It Is this self same de
termination which has so forcibly
charnctrrlzed the work of our fathers,
grandfathers, and Rxeat-grandfathers.
We must have it if we expect to over
come the many obstacles of life's
way.
Generosity of purpose, the foster
ing of a love and sympathy for one's
fellowman, is a valued asset 'in the
character of any Individual. The
youth must shun selfish motives; he
should endeavor to make himself a
public servant as have our youthful
traders and statesmen of today, a
helpmate to his fellowman. The
dally prayer" of one of our great men
was that he might be endowed with
such strength as would make him of
use to mankind a most noble and
generous request and his life became
a very profitable and happy one. I
And so he who goes forth into this
life with the intention of satisfying
only his personal pleasures, and who
becomes forgetful of what he owes to
his country and to mankind, will find
life's road "Bounded in shallows and
in miseries."
The many positions of responsibility
and trust throughout the land must
sometime become vacant. Who then
will occupy all these places? Who
will fill our council chambers, create
our laws, and administer the work of
government? Who then will carry on
the research of science, reveal to us
the laws of nature and self-preservation?
Who then wll spread the teachings
of religion, not alone In our own
country, but carry to all the world
the word divine? To be short, who
Is to bear the banner of progress,
peace and prosperity when the present
tollers have passed from this sphere
of action? Young man, will you allow
some other to shoulder these duties
of civilization- Or will you assume
them? Think! Think of the chaos
which would result If each expected
the other to perform the work of the
world. It must be done. Someone
will do It. Why not let that someone
be you?
"Lift up thy voice! Each has his
part aslgned him
In the great anthem of the Universe."
Young men of today, "Neglect not
the opportunities of Youth"; prepare
now for,the future. Lay now the cor
nerstone of your career and build
upon It a structure which will be be
yond the criticism o'f your fellowmen,
and so strong and so beautiful that It
may Inspire those who are destined
to follow.
When we think or speak of the op
portunities which our land holds forth
to every ambitious and. enterprising
young man, our minds revert to the
west, and more especially to the
northwest. It Is a land of golden
purer Ideals. Look to these wonder
ful falls and rivers; in them Is bound
less energy and never falling con
stancy. Look to these fields so rich
and fertile are you not thankful that
God has" provided so bountifully for
His children?
"He who doth turn from these regal
things
To the folly and sham of life,
Shall never stand with the uncrowned
Kings
Who capture the prize of strife,
Ay. thankless 'heir Is he, at best,
To our mother of mothers, the
great, broad, West."
, Act now, young man; now, while
the body Is vigorous and strong; now,
while the life Is young, hopeful, am
bitious, and filled with prospects of
a useful future; now, while the mind
stands untainted, untarnished by de
based thoughts or purposes; now,
while the soul Is filled and Inspired
by the highest, noblest, and most ex
alted Ideals of manhood.
Now is the time to grasp eagerly
and firmly the hand of opportunity.
"Despise not thy youth." It Is the
golden age of life the happiest and
most useful period of one's career.
As light Is to day, so Is youth to the,

says:
"There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which taken at the flood leads on

Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bounded In shallows and In mis

If the present Influence of the
young men of America be maintained,
and if they continue to pursue a
course of honesty and generosity with
the same determination and energy
so peculiar to the past, some time in
the not far distant future, they will
be elevated to a position so high, and
will represent Ideals so exalted, that
they will be hailed and sought hy the
world as the princes of the earth.
Oh. youth of today, the nation's
