The president’s address in full was as follows: s “Mr. Secretary, a a Ladies and Gentle- men: I have not come here this af- ternoon with the purpose of deliver- ing to you an elabarate address. It seems to me that the day is suffi- ciently eloquent already with the meaning which it should convey to us. The spectacle of the morning has been a very moving spectacle in- deed—an almost unpremeditated out- pouring of thousands of sober citizens to manifest their interest in the safety of the country and the sacredness of the flag which is its emblem. “I need not remind you how much sentiment has been poured out honor of the flag of the United States. Sometimes we have been charged with being a very sentimental people, cal phrases principles not sufficiently defined in action, and I dare say there have been times of happy and careless ease in this country, when all it has been necessary ta do for the honor of the flag was to put our sen- timents into poetic expressions, into the words that for the time being sutisfied our hearts. “But this is nct a day of sentiment. Sentiment is a propulsive power, but it does not propel in the way that is gerviceable to the nation unless it kave a definite purpose before - it. This is not merely a day of sentiment. It is a day of purpose. “It is an eloquent symbol e d of the in ! tond of expressing in general rhetori- | | | great strugele, unity of our history that upon this ionument, which commemarates the man who did most to establish the American Union we should have hoisted those stars that have so multiplied since his time, associated with those lines of red and white which mean all that is pure in our purpose, and all that is red in our blood in the service of a nation whose history has been full of in- spiration because of his example. “But Washington was one of the i least sentimenta] men that America has ever profluced. The thing that | thrills me about Washington is that he is impatient of an has no definite purpos letters run along the lines action, not merely along the mere lines of sentiment, and the most in- spiring times that this nation has ever seen have been the times when sentiment had to be translated into action. “Apparently this nation is again and again and again to be tested, and always tested in the same way. The last supreme test this nation went through was the test of the Civil war. You know how deep that cut. You know what exigent issues of life were at issue in that struggle. You know how two great sectians of this union scemed to be moving in opposite di- rections, and for a long time it was auestionable whether that flag repre- sented any one united purpose in { America. And you know how deep that struggle cut into the sentiments of this people, and how there came a whole generation, following that when men’s hearts were bitter and sore, and memories hurt as well as exalted, and how it scemed as if a rift had come in the hearts of the people of America. “And vou know how that ended. ‘While it seemed a time of terror, it has turned out a proof of the validity of our hope. Where are naw the di- sions of sentiment which cut us asunder at the time of the Civil war? | Did you not see the Blue and the Gray mingled this morning in the procession? Did nat you see the sons of a subsequent generation walking together in happy comradeship? Was there any contradiction of feel- ing there for a moment? othing cuts so deep as a civil and vet all the wounds of that war have been healed, not only, but the very passion of that war seems to have contributed to the strength of rational feeling which now moves us | as a single body politic. it.

It works underground, but it also shows its ugly head where we can see it; and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy a species of poli- tical blackmail, saying :Do what we wish in the interest of foreign senti- ment or we will wreak our ven- geance at the polls.” “That is the sort of thing against which the American nation will turn with a might and triumph ment which will teach men once for all that lovalty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the ited States. “That is the lesson that T have come to remind vou of on this day—no mere sentiment.

I want you to alize that in what I am sayving I am merely vour spokesman, merely trving to put into inadequate words the purpose that is in your hearts. I regard this day as a day of rededica- tion to all the ideals of the United States. T took the liberty a few weeks ago to ask our fellow citizens all over the United States to gather together in celebration of this day—the anniver- ry of the adoption of our present flag as the emblem of the nation.

It is a tiresome thing, my fellow citizens to stand for hours and see a parade go by, but T want to take vou into this secret: It was not half as tiresome as the inauguration par- ade. The inauguration parade is a very interesting thing, but it is pain- fully interesting- to the man who being inaugurated, because there then lie ahead of him the four vears of responsibility whose horoscope can- not be cast by any man.

T felt caught up and buoyed along by the great stream of human purpose which seemed to flow there in front of me by the stand by the White House, and I shall go away from this meeting, as I came awz from that parade, with all the deep- est purposes of my heart renewed: and as I see the winds lovingly un- flag, T shall seem to see a hand point- ing the way of duty, no matter how hard, no matter how long, which we shall tread while we vindicate the glory and honor of the United States.” ALPHA ALPHA PI OUTING.
