MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Nov. 19 Although
the festivities of the- day celebrated
the home-coming of General Luke E.
Wright, vIce-Governor of the Philip
pines, it Is j no reflection upon the.
warmth of the welcome 'extended to
him to say that President Roosevelt
presence was the overshadowing feat
ure of the -day. V
Excursion trains were run into the
city find a number of ; distinguished
people- were present to participate In
the celebration. Among them were
governor Benton McMUIIn and -General
Joseph Wheeler, The parade wai
a' long one. ' : " ' , , ,
Immediately after the President's
arrival there wm - a. parade through
the, streets,, to the Gayoso hotel, where
a breakfast t was tendered the Presi
dent and Governor' Wright by the
ladles of Memphis.
In the afternoon the President at
tended and spoke at two. receptions
given In honor of Governor Wright,
one at the Auditorium 'by . the whjte
citizens and the other in a hall in the
hlmh section by the colored people.
There was a Colonial Dames Tea at
Gnyoso, and the festivities closed to
night with an eloborate banquet at
Peabody at which the President de
livered a set speech. Including some
brief remarks at breakfast the ITesl
d.'nt Ttpoke four times during the day.
Altogether it was a splendid tribute
to the affection nd esteem in which
General Wright Is held at home. .
XThe Colored Reception.
The reception tendered by the- col
ored people-, was remarkable. General
Wright earned their .undying gratitude
during the i yellow fever epidemics
twenty years ago by remaining here"
wh'-n most of the whites had fled and
seeing that the sick were cared for. ?
The wholes spirit ofe the proceedings
breathed lof and admiration for these
friends. Oeher&I Wright, in address
ing the colored audience said it would
perhaps have been better for. both
rarest had "the changes from slavery to
citizenships not come o suddenly. :
The President's reception, when he
was introduced, beggars description.
The colored people became perfectly
frantic, jumped up and down In their
enthusiasm. i atnd ;' yelled themselves
hoarse. A1 i fho; 'conclusion of the;
President's! remarks', the entire audi
ence of over . 8,000 united In. singing
"God lie With Us Till We Meet
Again."
At midnight the. Presidential party
left for Washington over the Southern
Railroad. No stops will lie made en
route,. ' The train will reach Wash lag
ton friPtday morning.
Gen. Wright's Response.
General Wright in response to the
address of welcome said the criticisms
of the Army and Navy were unjust.
Tlwre might s have been Isolated cases
of cruelty deserving of censure, but
the cases were, the exception, not the
rale. " On the whole, he said, the war
was conducted In a. most humane man
ner. ! '.'':!. , -.1 . ,
President Roosevelt's address, as de
livered at the Memphis reception last
night, follows.
"It is a real and great' pleasure to
come to this typical city of the South
ern Mississippi valley in order to greet
a typical American, a citizen of Ten
nessee, who i deserve honor not only
from his state, but from the entire
country General Luke K. Wright. We
have a right to expect a high standard
of manhood from" Tennessee. It was
one of the first two spates created west
of the Allegheny Mountains, and It
was In this state that the. first self
governing community of American
freedom was established upon waters
flowing into th Gulf. The plonkers of
Tennessee were among the earliest in
that great 'westward march which
thrust the Nation's border across the
continent to the Pacific, fend It Is em
inently fitting that a son of Tennessee
should now play so prominent a. part
in the, further movement of expansion
beyond the Pacific. Thre have Hecn
Presidents of the United States for
but one hundred and thirteen years,
and during lxten of those years Ten
nesseerui sat In the While House.
Hardlliood.and daring, and Iron reso
lution are of right to be expected
among the sons of state which nur
tured Andrew Jackson and Sam Hous
ton: which stnt Into , the American
navy one of the most famous fighting
admirals of all time, Karragut.
"There Is anotner reason why mir
roimtry should be glad that It was
General Wright who rendered this ser
vice. , General Wright fought with dis
tinguished gallantry among the gallant
mfn who served In; the armi of the
Confederacy during the Civil War. W e
need no proof of the completeness or
our reunion ? as a people. When the
war with Spain came the sons of the
men who wore the blue and the sons or
the men who wore the gray vied with
one another! in the effort to get into
the ranks and face a foreign foe under
the old flagthat had een carried In
triumph under , Wlnneld .Scott and
Zachary Taylor and Andrew Jackson.
It was my own good fortune to serve
under that fearless fighter, old Joe
Wheeler a memory of which 1 shall al
ways be proud. But If we needed any
proof of the unity of our interests It
would have been afforded this very
year by General Wright, the-ex-Con-federate,
in hi administration as Act
ing Governor of tbePhlllpplne Island.

as
.lG?7eral Wrlht' work has been as
difficult as it was Important. , The
' i me last four years have def
....r maea mat whether we wish
l" "r not we must hereafter play a
great part In the world. We cannot
escape facing the duties. We may
shirk them if we are built of poor
stuff, or we may take hold and do them
If we are fit sons of our sires but face
them we must, whether we will or not.
Our duty in the Philippine Island has
simply been one of the duties that thus
,wve COI"e Pn us. We are there, and
we can no more haul down our flag and
abandon the Islands than we could
now abandon Alaska. Whether w
glad or sorry that events forced us to
go , mere is aside from the question;
me poini is that, as the inevitable re.
suit of the war with Spain, we found
ourselves, in the Philippines and that
we couitd not leave the Island without
discredit. The islanders were wholly
unfit to govern themselves, and If We
had left there would have been a brief
penoa of bloody chaos, and then some
other nation would have 'stepped In to
do the work which, we had shirked1. It
cannot be too often repeated that there
was no question that the work had to
be done. . All the question was, whether
we would do it well or 111; and, thanks
to the choice, of, men , like Governor
Wright. It has ibeen done well. The
first and absolutely Indispensable re
quisite was order peace. The reign
or lawless violence, of resistance to le
git I mateauthority, the reign, of an
archy, could no more be ' tolerated
abroad than It could be tolerated here
In our own land.
"The American flag stands for order
ly liberty, andiJt stands for It abroad
as. it stands fir It af home. The' task
or. our soldiers was to restore and
maintain order In the Islands. The
army had the tak to do. and It did It
well and thoroughly. The fullest and
heartiest praise belongs to our soldiers
who in the Philippine brought to
triumphant conc lusion a war, small In
deed compared to the gigantic strug
gle In which the older men whom I am
addressing took part in the early six
ties, but Inconceivably harassing and
difficult, because It was waged amid the
pathless jungles of great tropic islands
and against a foe very elusive very
treacherous, and .often Inconceivably
crtiel toward our men 'and toward the
great numbers' of peace lovtng Filipinos
who gladly welcomed our advent. The
soMiers included both Regulars and
Volunteers, men from the North, the
South, the East, and the West, men
from Pennsylvania and from Tennes
see, no less than men from the Rocky
Mountains and the Pacific Slope and
to all alike we give honor, for they
acted as American soldiers should.
Cruelties were committed here and
there. Th fact; that they were com-
tjnitted under well-nigh jintolerable pro
vocation affords no exJgjse . for such
cruelties, nor can we admit as justirt
ctitlon that they were retaliatory . in
kind. : Every - effort has beeri made to
detect and punish the wrongdoers and
tlie wrongdoing Itself has been com
pletely stopped: But thesp misdeeds
w.ere exceptionaland their occurrence
in no wise alters the fact that the
AmerUcaii, army in the Philippines
showed as a whole not only splendid
soldierly qualities but a high order of
humanity In dealing with their Toes. A
hundred thousand of our troops went
to the Philippines. Among them were
some : who offended against the right.
Well, are we altogether immaculate ,at
home? I think not. I ask for no spec
ial consideration to be shown our
friends and kinsmen, our- sons and
brothers, who during three years so
well upheld the national honor In the
Philippines. I ask merely that we do
the same equal Justice to : the soldier
who went abroad and faced death and
lived hard as we show to hls fellow
who stayed at home and lived easily
and in comfort; and if we' show that
equal justice we will doff our hats to
the man who has put the whole coun
try under obligations by the victory he
helped to win in the Philippines.
"Rut the soldier's work as a- soldier
was, not the larger part of what he did.
Wne'n once the outbreak w-a' over In
any , place, then began the work of es
tablishing civil administration. Here,
too, the soldier did his part, for the
work of preparing for the civil author
ity was often done by the officers and
rnen of the regular army, and well done,
too. Then the real work, of buiimng up
a system of self government for the
people who had become our wards w
begun, under the auspices of the Phil
ippine Commission, Judge Tart being
made Governor, and I having had the
honor myself to appoint General
Wright as Vice Governor, During the
critical period when the Insurrection
was ending and the time was one oi
transition between a state of war and
a state of peace, at the time inai i
Issued a proclamation declaring, . that
the state of war was over and that the
civil government was now In complete
command. General Wright served as
Governor of the Archipelago. The
progress of the Islands both in mater
ial M-helnir and as regards' order and
justice under the administration of
Governor Wright and his colleagues
has been astounding.
"There is no question as to our not
having gone far enough and fast
enough In granting self government to
the Filipinos; the only possible danger
has been Ist we sliould go faster and
father than was In the Interest of the
Filipinos themselves. Each Filipino at
the present day Is guaranteed his life,
his liberty, and the chance to pursue
happiness as he wishes, so lon as he
does not harm his fellows. In a way
which the iilanda hsve never known
before during all their recorded his

brigands still in existence. Now nd
