Roosevelt was greeted with enthusiasm and said in part: “This day i« hallowed aud sacred in our history, for this day through out the land we meet to pay homage t.Lu the memory of the valiant dead who fell iu tlie great civil war. No other men deserve so well of this country as those to whom we <W it that we now have a country, More over, the men to whose valor ne owe it that the Union was preserved have left us a country reunited in fact as well as in name. They have left us the memory of the great deeds and tiie self devotion alike of the men who wore the blue and of the men who wore the gray in the contest where brother fought brother with equal courage, with equal sincerity of conviction, with equal fidelity to a high ideal, as it was given to eaeh to see that ideal. “We cannot too highly honor the memory of the leaders in the civil war—of Grant and Lee, of Sherman and Johnson, of Stonewall Jackson md Sehirdan, of Farragut anil of the 'captains who fought under and against him. But after all the mun upon w hom chief credit must rest was the plain man in the ranks, the man in blue or gray who went in to see the war through, and who did see it through. He had the courage to stand *4*thout flinching the bickering of the skirmishes and the hammering of the great fights; be had the stead fast endi^ance to bear with uncom- plaining kesclj>tmu the hunger aud the heat lbd the coM. the scorching days and the freezing nights, the grinding ? heartbreaking fatigue of the marches, the wearisome monotony of the camps, and the slow suffering of the field hospitals. • So iu the army and the navy today, in the last an alysis we must depend upon having the right stuff iu the enlisted man and then upon having that stuff put into proper shape. So again in our republic as a whole it is just as true in peace now as it was forty-five years ago in war tliat it is the character of tlie average man that must he the de termining factor in achieving national success or going down to national disaster. Leadership is necessary in order that we may get really good re sults out of a high average of indivi dual character; but without the high character in the average individual the leadership by itself can avail but little. “Now it is easy to say this in words which shall imply merely flattery of the average voter or of the average enlisted man. I certainly do not in tend my words to be so taken. it is a sure sign of weakuess in any man if he is always wanting to be flattered, and especially if ire lets his bead la? /turned by fbittery. The average voter needs to learn and to keep steadily 1 in mind the fact tliat if in the last re sort tiie real power is his, so iu the last resort the real responsibility is his. He can uot cast off on any one else the responsibility for our govern mental shortcomings. Nothing is cheaper than to say that the ]>eople are all right but tnat the politicians are all wrong. As a matter of fact politics, and therefore politicians, will in the long run represent faith fully either the wishes or the indiffer ence of the people; aud if the people are indifferent the results are just about as bad as if they deliberately choose to go wrong.” The president in closinr referred feelingly to the recent San Francisco disaster and spoke of the splendid ex hibition of American liberality in the ready response to calls for sssis tance. WALLA WALLA FLOODED PENDLETON UNDER WATER ; Wala Walla, Wash., May 3t>.-Brid ges have beeu washed out, housts wrecked and streets flooded, electric and telephone stations out of com mission and thousands of dollars damage to the growing crops and liay- fleids in the low land districts as the result of the worst rain in the history of Walla Walla valley, which has steadily fallen since toon Monday and is still falling at the rate of .03 of an inch an hour.

Several bridges below Prescott have l«>en «ashed out and others damaged. Noon—The situation is much im proved, the rain having partly ceased, a total of 4.10 inches for the storm.
