There is a Southern accent, almost, in bis speech, which is brought out into re- lief by a voice clear and melodious, of none too high a pitch, yet which at times when he tries to state a fact impressively is sharp in its intensity. His hair is brown, with a suspicion of auburn, the hue that 13 s0 often seen in poets as well as in men of great aggressiveness, but it+does not curl, as on some _aggressive but pieasure-loving heads. It is worn short, and this style well becomes the well-knit, robust figure of one of the most self- sertive and original characters that ever sat in the Presidential chair. The most noticeable facial, peculiarity is. the manner in which be shows an up- per’ row of sound white. teeth when he smiles, and an equally good row of lower teeth when he 18 stating a fact more em- phatically than usual. In such moments his Jower lip tightens and déscends, just as a man clenches his Jaws together when he wills intensely. His gestures are un- studied and not meant to be graceful. ‘When he points at anything with his right forefinger he does it pokingly, at-the eame time extending his arm suddenly to its full length, dnd when he wishes to address his remarks to any group of listeners close to the platform, he bends over quickly and brings down a well modeled brown fist upon the railing to emphasize his words. Add to this the mobile crowsfeet at the corners of the eyes in his most earnest moments and you have a picture of a man Who* has made his way in the world by the force of will and earnestness that appears to me to be the keynote to his make-up. His teachings, too, appeal to the people most convineingly. Decency, industry and pro- gressiveness are his themes. These he considers to be the foundation stones of the ideal American character. As he has declaimed against race suicide, so is he decleiming against indlyidual suicide by the slow death of the moral and intel- lectual man whose soul'is Rorroded by the acids of idieness and lack of purpose. Roosevelt has already . engraved his name upon California, and he has not been here twenty-four hours. ROSES FOR CARPET. Redlands was out of bed early this morning to extend a welcome to the Pres- ident, the sidewalks being crowded with men, women and children in holiday garb. Half an hour before the arrival of the Presidential train, baskets, bags and boxes of roses of all colors were lald upon the curbs on both sides of the ave- nue ready to be strewn upon the roadway from the Santa Fe depot to the Hotel | Casa Loma, the route to be taken by the visitors. At 11 a. m. Teddy’s Terrors from Los Angeles arrived in a speclal train and | marched up the avenue, headed by their own superb band. They were attired as | Rough Riders, every detail of the cos- tume being faithfully represented—cow- boy hats, dark blue shirts, red bandana i handkerchiefs and khaki trousers with | leezings. Strapped to the hip of each | was a navy revolver, They brought with them a new song, “All of Their Own,” which they sang as they lined up in front of the hotel to pay their respects to Governor Pardee. With them came Senator Bard, Mayor Bnyder and otaer notables, and these were lustly cheered by the people. The morning was hot and brilliant, and it was feared that the President would be inconvenlenced by the heat, as he wag to stand on the hotel veranda upon the iden- tical spot where stood President McKinley when he addressed the people of Red- lands two years ago. This faces west- wardly, the tiers of benches occupied by the school children being opposite, and the sun shining almost directly in the President’s face. But this fear was disel- pated at 11:30 o'clock by the arrival of a gentle and refreshing breeze from the west, which tempered the torrid fervency of a San Bernardino sun into a not too pressing warmth. At that hour the roses were scattered upon the roadway from the depot to.the hotel, and there was a floral carpet for the President to ride upon, much more easy and agreeable than the steep slopes of Santiago, which Teddy and his brave Rough Riders once climbed to victory in the face of a galling fire of Spanish guns. GUARDS ARE VIGILANT, As the hour of noon drew near all eyes were turned in the direction in which the train from Barstow was to come, and | soon a glad shout went up as the black line of smoke from two locomotives was geen winding its way among the green- ery of the orange groves in the valley below. Promptly at noon the train rolled into the Santa Fe depot. Here the thou- sands of spectators were treated to an illustration of the thoroughness of the system adopted by Chief Wilkle of the United States secret service to prevent the President from being attacked or an- noyed by harmless cranks or murderous anarchists. Every Deputy Sheriff and Constable in the surrounding country had been pressed into service and a cordon was drawn af the depot to keep back the crowd. As the President stepped down from the coach the crowd sent up a glad shout of welcome from the desert to the oasis of Southern California. The distinguished visitor responded by smiling and lifting his hat as he took his seat in an open carriage that was ‘waliting for him. Three tall, straight, ath- letic looking gentlemen attired in Prince Albert suits and tall silk hats walked be- hind the carriage and close to the side of the President. They were secret ser- vice men detailed for the purpose of ac- companying the President. Behind them walked Secret Service Agents George W. Hazen and Harry Moffitt of the San Fran- cisco office and John F. Cronin of the Los Angeles office. At the hotel the doors were guarded by Deputy Sheriffs and Constables and no person was allowed to enter the building wiithout a pass. The opening speech was made by Mayor Fowler of Redlands, who had the good sense to make it brief. He then intro- duced Governor Pardee, who spoke as fol- lows: 3 Ladles and Gentlemen: We are assembled hers to-day as loyal citizens of California to welcome with becoming and befitting cere- monies the advent into California of the Pres dent of the United States—a king without a crown and yet a subject—the master and yet a servant. We welcome him here with open hands in this gorgeous California sun, our fields and our hills clad in the matchless verdure of a California spring. You know and I know how gladly California responds to the call and how gladly she ex- tends a welcome to the President whom we honor and reverence. It is mot often our pleasure and our honor to thus welcome to Culifornia the greatest man, because he holds the greatest office within the gift of the peo- ple of this world, but when we do have the pleasure and the honor we do it In the hearty Callfornta spiris Mr. President, in the name of the people of the State of Californla, thrice welcome to the Golden State. SPEECH OF ROOSEVELT. The crowd cheered lustily and the Pres- ident rose with a smile to address the people, but at this critical moment Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento pressed to the front almost up to the side of Mr. Roose- velt. Mayor Fowler introduced Mr. John- | son to speak on behalf of the Legislature of the State. The chief executive of the nation took the hint and resumed his seat. Mr. Johnson began by saying: “Mr. President, in behalf of the Senate and Assembly, who more mearly repre- sent the people of the State than any ) A | individual other organization or official body, speak- ing the unanimous sentiments of all, re- gardless of party affillations, I bid you welcome to the State of California.” He then proceeded to say that we were very proud of our State because it was a State to be proud of and concluded by expressing the pride felt by the legisla- tive committee because the nation had 80 good a President. Then the President delivered tho following address: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Mayor, Mr. and you, my fellow Americans, men and women of California: I am indeed glad to have the chance to visit thls wonderful and beautiful State. ~And yet let me tell you, my fellow citizens, I didn't’ need to come here to be one of .you and devoted to your interests. I know California. I know what her sons and daughters are and what they have done, for if I 4id not I would not augur myself an American. Rarely have 1 enjoyed a day more than this day. I waked up coming through the Mojave desert. All that-desert needs is a little water, and I believe we are going to get it, (Ap- plause.) ~ And then we came down into this beautiful garden spot, and though I have been told all about it, told about the fruits and the flowers, told of the wonderful fertility of Governor, the moll, and thought I knmew about it, it | was not possible In advance to realize all the fertility, all the beauty I was to see. Indeed, I congratulate myself on having the chance to visit you. (Applause.) VALUE OF IRRIGATION. And coming to-day over the mountain rangs, coming down here, seeing What you have done, makes me realize more and more how much this whole country should lay stress upon what can be done by the wise use of water the to California I can sit at the feet of Gamaliel, %o far as these are concerned. I do not have to preach much. All I need to do Is to ask you/ to go ahead and follow your own best practices. The people of our country have grown to real- ize and are more and more in practice showing that they realige how indispeneabile it is to pre- serve the great forests on the mountains and to use aright the water supply which those forests conserve. Why, this whole country here, all the great valleys of Southern California, all of Southern California, shows what can be dona by irrigation, what can be done by settlers far- sighted enough to use the resources of the land in such & way as to perpetuate and better, not exhaust, them. We have passed the time when we can afford to let any man skin the country and leave it. Forestry. irrigation, all the efforts of nation- al and the’ State governments, all the efforts of and of local associations are to be bent toyard the object of building up the inter. ests of the homemaker. The man we want to favor is the man who comes to live and whose interests it is that his children and his chil- dren’s children ehall 10 an even greater degree than what he has enjoyed himseif. § He is the man whom We must encourage in possible way, and it is because he i3 awake to his true interests that the marvelous progress has been made, laygely through forestyy, Jarge- ly through irrigation here in California and elsewhers In this mi Western land, which forms the na of this republic. (Ap- plause.) And a word, too, our citizens are more and more realizing that they wish to perpetuate the things that are of use and also the things that are of beauty. You in California are preserv- ing yeur great natural scenery, your great ob- jects of nature, your valleys, your great trees. ou are preserving them because you realize beauty has its place as well as use, because You wish to make of this State, even more than it now is, the garden spot of the continent, And here in Southern California I wish to congratuiate you upon the way in which your citizens have built up these new cities, of which I speak In well-nigh the newest; these new cities and this new country, in fashion o preserve, in fashion to fllusirate the ef- forts of, the pioneer, of the early settler. of the man who first turned to account the virgin soll, and yet have been fortunate enough to escape the roughness and rawness that too often necessarily accompanies such early set- tiement. Already In what you Bave -done, you people of this mew land, you have been fortunate enough to set examples which it ‘would be well for the citles and the countries of older lands to follow, because, fundament. ally, men and women who I am addressing, fundamentally, we must remember that much though climate and sofl can do, it is man himself who does most. I congratulate you upon your astounding material prosperity. I cangratulate you upon your fruit farms, vour orchards, your ranches, upon your cities, upon your industrial and agricultural development, but above all. I congratulate you upon the quality of your citizenship. (Applause.) PRAISE FOR VETERANS. (Turning to the Grand Army): I am glad to meet you and be greeted by you. I know the Test of you will not grudge my saying that among all of you who have greeted ma I prise most the presence of the men who have fought in the great war. Two years ago you came here to welcome your comrads, my chief and predecessor in office, President McKinley. He fought | in the war In which you had fought. He had done his part in the work that you did—the work which if left undone would have meant that to-day we would have neither country nor President. And now we of the younger generation are bound in homor to complete what you and he 14 in the war, the work that he did in peace. And ths lessons which you were taught were not _the lessons of war only. They are lessong to be applied in peace just as much. You fought for liberty under the law, through the law—not license—but a spirit that rises above the law, but as governing liberty of seifegove erning, 'self-restraining free men, who know that anarchic violence, that dlsorder of any kind, is the handmaiden of tyranny, the fos of 1 greet you, first, on whose conduct we must 1 ours, and next (turning (oe&h:‘-ehool children) I greet the future.
