In an- Th {in the Bastern ha)f of ‘our land.

(Applause) At every stop here in your State I am met by represen- tatives of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic, of the men to whom we owe it that because they showed their faith by their works when works meant blood and toil | and effort well nigh superhuman, because | they aid that when I come here I coms to a people living under the flag that ficats from the Gulf to the Great Lakes cause of what they did that there is a President to come here at all; it is pe- cause of what they did that when I come here 1 see the men of the United States navy ashore here in uniform; it is be- ause of what they did that when war came in 1808, the great warship Oregon steamed southward from -California arcund the Cape, up the'Atlantic, in time to take part in the decisive viotory off Santiago harbor. “The fundamental lesson to learn from one end of this country to the other is the essential unity of our people, and I speak in a State which is what it now is because the ploneers who came here came with emplre in their brains, came to pitch a new commonwealth by the side of the great ocean, as old world men pitched tents because they were of a stock which dared to be great, and in our time now must dare to be great. Our country looks teastward across the Atlantic and west- ward across the Pacific, across that West which s the hoary East, from the Oeccl- dent wegt to the Orient. (Applause.) “I fafl to see how any son of this caun- try worthy o be descerided from the men of "6l to '65 the men who uypheld the statesmanship of Lincoln and who fol- lowed to victory Grant and Sherman and | Thomas and Sheridan—I fail to see how any true son of these cén i his turn fairy to welcome with eager joy the.chanée to make this country greater even than it | has been before. Of course, we have great tasks before us. The man that has not got great tasks to do cannot achieve | gregtness. Greatness only comes because | the task to be done is_great. The men who lead lives of mere ease, of mere | pleasure, the men who go through life | seeking how to aveld trouble, to aveid ef- | fort, to avoid risk—to them it is not given | to achieve greatness, Greatness comes only to those who seek not to avoid obstacles, but how to overcome them. | (Applause) “Here 1 speak in a region where there € | remain mémorials of an oider civilization | than ours, of the civilization that was in | California three-quarters of a century be- fore the first hardy people of the new stock crossed the desert, €rosged the mountain chains or came in ships 4P from the isthmus, and 1 want to congratuldte you upon the way in which you #re per- petuating the memortals of that old eiviil- zation. It is a fine thing in a new com- munity to try to keep alive the continuity of Eistory, It is a fine thing to try to re- member the background, that even those of us who are most cenfident of the future may be able to see that which existed in the past, and I am glad to see in your architecture, both in the architecture of new and great buildings going up and the architectute of the old buildings and in- many othér ways by keeping the touch and flavor of the old civilization giving a peculiar flavor to our own neéw civiliza- tion, and {n an age when the tendency is a trifle tbward too great uniformity, the care in preserving its individuality. (Ap- plause.) ¢ “I wonder whether you really appreciate how beautiful your country is. Sometimes people grow so familiar with their sur- roundings that they fail entirely to ap- preclate them. 1 had read and heard of the marvelous beauty of California, the beauty of your climate, the wonderful fer- tility of your soil, but 1 had not realized, I could not realize it until I saw it. It seems to me as if there could not be an- other spot on the world's surface blessed in auite the same way as this has been blessed. And réw, as much as has been given tg you, so much must be expected of you. You have by good fortune beea placed down in this bedutiful region with ite wonderful climate, with it8 sofl, with all the change for development that it offers, so we havé a right to expect a particulafly high type of “American citi- zenship from you. s “I have been delighted to see thé or- ange groves, to see your olive orchards, to =ee all the marvelous products of this soil, the products, temperate and semi- tropical. Of course, in the last analysis the mmaterial prosperity of any country rests more even than upon its manufac- tures, 1t8 commerce or its mires, upon what 1s successfully accorfiplished by the tillers of the soil. Upon the products of the soll our material well being depends in the long run more than upoh ahything else—tipon what we develop agricultural- ly, so that I congratulate’ you on that. I congratulate you on your wonderful ma- terial prosperity, but it is only, the foun- dation for the higher life of 'citizenship and it can be no more. “There is not any patent device by which we can get good government, there is not any by which we can alter or re- pe the general scheme of things, by which we cah avoid the responstbility of vraeticing the old humdrum. everv dav. Py ¥ commofiplace virtues, for the lack of which in the {ndividWal; as in the nation, 1o ‘brillianey, no genius can ever atone. As a natlon and Individually we must show the fundantental qualities of hardi- hood, courage, manliness, of decency, mo- rality, clean Hving, fair dealing as be- tween man and man, of common sense, the saving grace of common sense. We must show the qualities which made us as a nation able to free ourselves i 1776, able to preserve our national existence in 1861, and if we fall to show them we will go down, and because we will show them we will make this courtry thé mightiest on which the sun has ever shoné. “New methods must be devised for meeting the varfous problems which come up. Our complex industrial civilization, with its great concentration of population and of capital in cities, with its extraor- dinary increase in the rapldity and ease of communication, alike of news and transportation, that complex civilization has brought new problems before us It has brought much of the good and some evil, but it has not altered in the slight- est the need of the old fundamental vir- tues. Now in ¢ivil Iifé no man can be allowed to put himself above the law, the law that is to check greed and violence, that is to put a stop to every form of outrage by one mdn against another, the law under and through which alone can we preserve tepublican Institutions and democratic Hberty. 2 “You of the great West forever estab- lshed the t that there should be no’ appéal to sectional hate in this country, and just as evil fs 1t to strive to arouse any spirit of antagonism based on class or creed. Any form of hatred of ofe's nelghbor is hostlle to the spirit of our Government, whether it take the-shape of the arro t, who look down upon those, who aré less well off, which would oppress those less able to protect them- selves, or of the rancor and envy which regard with jealous il will those who are better off. BEither feeling I8 unworthy of American freemen. (Applause.) I make my appeal to you, my fellow citizens, in the name’ of those quallties which undetflie the very existence, the very form of our Goverfiment. I ask for the willingness of each to help the other, for readiness iaf men to act in combination for the com- mon good, but I ask you also as you will not infllet wrong, J" to lufle{ it. T ask you to remember” that though the law can do something, that though the honest adi ministration of the law can do more, though that more can be done by acting in m’mn. that yet in the long run, the ultimate analysis, each Continued on Page 87, Column 3. ] L NATION'S PRESIDENT DELIVERING A STRENUOUS ADDRESE AT BAN BERNARDINO.

He was then taken to the magnificantly decorated stand which stood in the large vacant block known as the Murphy bloek, near the Southern Pacific depot. The stand was a bower of roses, sweet peasy popples and evergreen. It had been. pre- pared by the Woman's Club and the Na- tive Daughters and was a finisheg pro- ductioh. His appearance upon the stand as a signal for another mightly outburst of enthusiasm and it was some time be- fore it was- Guiet emough for him to speak. As soon as it was stilled, without an introduction, he bg#.n and so cager was the cfowd to catch every word that he was uninterrupted by applause until the close of his speech. He spoke as fol- 1o} “It is with great pleasure I have the chance of meeting you this afternoon. For three days now I have been traveling through your wonderful and beautiful State and 1 marvel at its fertility. I am not surprised to see you looking happy. 1 showld be ashamed of you If you did not. (Applause.) I know of this county in con- nectipn with certain Eastern agricultural producers, for ,unless [ mistake those who offered prizes for the largest vege- tables and fruits of certain kinds have had to baf the products from this coun- ty because they Invariably won the prizes. (Applause.) = “I know of one Bastern producer who said that the products of this county would have to be barred because he had svent already $500 in prizes to the county L.

I have forgotten all of the records that you have in the county., 1 know that the largest pumpkin, watermelon and onion came from here, so that your agricultural prod- ucts have made a name for themselves to be feared. Of ecourse, in stock raising and dairying the county stands equally prominent. “l1 am glad to learn that the State of California Is erecting here the polytech- nic institution for giving all the sclentific tralning in the arts of farming.
