r BUSINESS PROGRAM FOR WORLD'S WORK President Wilson Talks of Des- tiny and Concern of Nation for Future. AUDITORIUM IS JAMMED N President Wilson's principal ad- dress in Omaha yesterday was de- livered at the auditorium in the even- ing before an audience of 7,000 peo- ple, which packed the auditorium to its capacity, while probably as many swarmed about the doors, overflowed into the streets, and packed the streets to the very walls of the build- ings across the way. Though it had been annoucned that the doors would be opened at 7 o'clock, they were actually opened a little earlier, and when the clock struck seven the seating capacity was all filled and standing room was be- ginnifg to be denied to those who came. Mission to the World, Taking the appropriate theme of history of this semi-centennial of Ne- - braska’s statehood, the president worked up to the destiny of America. He declared that since the Spanish- American war, we have been caught in the inevitable politics of the world. “Our duty now is to fuse together the various elements of America,” he said “for the purpose of the life of the world. The intensity of the heat of this fusing centers i places like this. On the west coast forces are at work which constantly remind men of the confused politics of the orient. On the eastern coast, we still feel the -influence of the old world. “The census takers of 1890 reported that they could no longer draw any frontier within the United States, And since then what has been going on has not been the extensive processes that preceded, but the intensive pro- cesses drawing their life together, in some places in very hot contact, creat- ing the heat and hurry and excitement of our cities, spreading our popula- tions more and more over the quiet agricultural spaces, going boweling into the earth where the great moun- tains lifted themselves over the min- eral resources of the far west. And from that time to this, America has taken on a new aspect. Destiny, Not Accident. | “It is not by accident. I take it, my fellow citizens that only eight years elapsed before we got into the politics of the world. It was in 1898, you remember, that the Spanish war came. It was, as if America had in some rough and ready scrt, complet- ed this internal process, and now looked with pity upon other peoples near at hand less fortunate than themselves, looked with pity upon the condition of men struggling for some kind and part of the light of liberty, in the neighboring island of Cuba, interested themselves in affairs which heretofore they~had taken no heed of.' And then the Spanish war startled us by its ‘consequences, We had, as it were, touched a-house of cards, bnd it had collapsed, and when the war was over we found the guard- ianship of Cuba, the possession of Porto Rico, the possession of the Phillipines in our hands. And that frontier, which no man could draw upon this continent in 1890, had been flung across the sea, 7,000 miles to the untrodden forests of some parts of the Phillipine islands. Ever since then-we have been caught inevitably in the net of the politics of the world. Our Duty Not Easy. “So what I want to present to you tonight, my friends, is the picture-so far as I can of our present and future duty as Americans. It is not an easy thing to do. No man can spedk with confidence upon so great a theme as that. You can only see here and there an obvious aspect of it, but it is very important that we should rea- lize that the things that used to go on in Nebraska have to go on in a new way for a new purpose. Ne- braska was once, as I have phrased it, the melting pot in which the vari- ous elements of America were fused together for the purpose of Ameri- can life. Now it is our great duty to fuse the elements of America to- gether for the purpose of the life of the world. “It would be reasonable to expect that some of the intensity of that rocess would center in communities rike this. Inevitably, because of geo- graphical reasons, if no other. These great central plains and valleys of the continent are unlike the states of either coast. On the Pacific influ- ences are at work which constantly remind the people of that coast re- gion of the confused and perplexed politics of the Orient. Men are aware there of what is going on in the Far East and every breath that blows off the Pacific seems to bring them rumors of some subtle influence in politics about which they ask many questions and also conjecture many answers. is still felt, more vividly I dare say, than you feel them, the influence of the old world of Europe. Not as old as the world of the Orient, but more nearly akin to us, easier for us to un- derstand, more influential upon our life, because out of the peoples of Europe we ourselves were drawn. Not a single stock of Europe has failed to contribute to the variety of America, and out of this varied stock we have to compound something that 1s now part of Europe and is only a part, and is an intensified part of America, which we loye, Program for America. “We had a program for America in respect to its domestic life, and we shall not forget that program, but we have never yet sufficiently formu- lated our program for America, with regard to the part it is going to play, in the world, and it is imperative that we should” formulate it at once. But in order to tarry out a program you must have a unification of spirit and purpose in America which no influ- ence can invade. There is no use having a program unless you have a concerted and united force behind the program, and you can reverse the proposition and say that you cannot have a program until you have got a unified force. Because only such a torce can conceive a self-consistent program. “In making that program what are we to say to ourselves? And what are wc going to say to the wérld?) \ On the eastern coast there |- HE BEE: OMAH OCTOB ER 7, 1916. 5 It is very important that the states- men of other parts of the world should understand America. America has held off from the present conflict with which the rest of the wdtld is ablaze, not because she was not inter- ested, not because she was Indifferent, not because the part she wanted to play was a different part from that.

But Europe ought not to misunderstapd ‘us. We are holding off, not because we, do not feel concerned, but because when we exert the force of this nation we want to know what we are exerting it for. We have always remembergd and revered the advice of the great Washington, who advised us to avoid foreign entanglements. By that, I understand him to mean avoid being entangled in the ambitions and the national purposes of other nations, It does not mean, if I may be permitted to venture an interpretation of the meaning of that great man—it does not mean that we are to avoid the entanglements of the world, for we are part of the world, and nothing that concerns the whole world can be indifferent to us. We want always to hold the force of America to fight, tor what? Not merely for the rights of property or of national ambition, but for the rights of mankind. Noth- ing that concerns humanity, nothing that concerns the essential rights of mankind, can be foreign or indiffer- ent to us, But in fighting for these things, my fellow citizens, we ought to have a touchstone. We want to have a test. We ought to know when- ever we act what the purpose is, what the ultimate goal is. What We Stand For. “Now_ the touchstone is this: On our own part absolute Singleness of heart and purpose in our allegiance to America and then a justification of that allegiance to America by holding the doctrine that is truly American, that the states of America were set up to vindicate the rights of man and not the rights of property or the rights of self-aggrandizement and ag- gression. Property.we have found to be the dndispensable foundation of a stable institution, but ,the rights of humanity are the essence of free in- stitutions and nothing can- take precedence of them. “So that when we look forward to the years to come—I wish I could say the months to come—to the end of this war, we want all the world to know that we are ready to lend our force without stint or limit to the preservation of peace in the interests of mankind. The world is no longer- divided into little circles of interest. The world no longer consists of peighborhoods. The world is linked together in a common life and inter- est such as humanity never saw be- fore, and the starting of wars can never -again be a private and individ- ual m#tter for the nations, What dis- turbs the life of the whole -world is the, concern of the whole world, and it is our duty to lend the full force of this nation, moral and physical, to a league of nations, which shall sce to it that nobody disturbs the peace of the world without submitting his case first to the opinion of mankind. When you are asked, ‘Aren’t you will- ing to fight? reply, Yes, you are waiting for something worth fighting for. Youare not looking about for pet- ty quarrels, but you are looking about for that sort of quarrel within whose intricacies are written all the texts of the rights of man; you are looking for some cause which will elevate your spirit, not depress it; some cause in which it seems a glory to shed human blood, if it be necessary, so that all the common compacts of lib- erty may be sealed with the blood of free men. Death but an Incident. “Every man has to die. It is done only once, and being a single and distinguished act, it ought to be done for a single and distinguished pur- pose. It ought to be thrilled through with the purpose of life, so that as a man lived and loved, so he may die striving for the things which put all the corpuscles of his blood into shout- ing shape whenever great things were proposed. “You see, therefore,/I think, what the thrill of suggestion in the memo- ries of Nebraska is for me when 1 think of this nation as a whole. It has been necessary for nearly four years past, my fellow citizens, for me to think of America as a whole, not to think of any special interests, not to think of any special position, not to think of any special sympathy; merely to try/to conceive in my own heart what the America that you and I love is, what it has been, and what it ought to be; to try to guide the counsels of this nation so that men may see afterward stamped upon the conduct of that time some guiding principle, some ruling passion of the mind, some persistent conception of what America stands for, so that along the horizon under the dark, | will heal it She has been through it so many times before that she neverhesitates now.

Wattles presented Gover- nor Morehead, who introduced Presi- dent Wilson. The president's speech was brief. It was but a trifle after 9 o'clock when he had completed it. The party was immediately escorted to the Union Pacific station, where Presi- dent and Mrs, Wilson took formal leave of the local escort, and en- tered their private car. They left over the Northwestern shortly after 10 o'clock for Chieago on their way back to Washington.
