Chief Executive Thanks His Former Comrades in Arms. In reply to the address made by King President Roosevelt spoke as follows: Now, comrades, I guess you do not wonder why I am fond of the men of my regiment. In receiving this beautiful canteen—and 1 want to say 1 shall prize it even more than the old one, and all of us know how we prize the old one—I want to thank you and my com- rades of the Spanish-American war from my heart.

As soon as he left the grounds hundreds of women and girls rushed in and gathered handfuls of earth as souvenirs. Even the flowers on the stand were taken by the enthusiasts.

The days have changed. 7 through effort, wins ultimate suc- The pioneer days 3 7 have gone, but the need for the old pioneer virtues remains as great as ever. 1In every generation we mee people who treat the mighty deeds of the fathers as an excuse for failing to do all that should be done themselves. And it is, therefore, the duty of those of each genera- tion who appreciate to the full what the work of the fathers meant to keep alive the memory )f that work, as a spur to ever fresh effort on their part. And for that reason I hail with especial pleasure: the existence of such socie- ties as those which seek to band together the young men and the young women native bora to this State, and seek to keep alive In them the spirit which will make them in their turn do mighty works, mighty deeds, of which their children can be proud. We are proud of you:; we are proud of the men of the war of 1846, of the men of 1849, because in 1846 and in 1840 you did mot hold the fact that vour fathers had donme well in 1776 as an excuse for your doing nothing. If we expect our children to be proud of us, and not to to skip a generation in order to find cause to be proud, we must in our turn try to to the best of our capacity, the deeds ready at hand, try to grapple with the work that the nation finds to be done without its boundaries and within: the work of muni- cipal adminstration, the work of endeavoring to bufld up our soclal as well as our political systems, the work of striving to make more real, more a part of our lives in practice the principles of brotherhood to which we all in the abstract pay our homage, and also of keeping up our work as a people without our hounda- ries. As the colonel faid, this was the boun- dary. 1t Is not. Sail westward and westward, and you will find that the boundary has gone San Francisco Is not on the westernmost verge of our nossessions. Run down the lines of longitude and vou will find it is in the exact center. _(Applause.) And 1 ask, then, men and women of this great and beautiful State, this wonderful State, that vou, that all of us, approach our duties of to-day in the spirit that our fathers have shown in the different crises of the past; that we approach them realizing that nothing can take the place of the ordinary, every-day performance of duty; that we need the vir- tues which do not wait for heroic times, but which are exercised day in and day out in the ordinary work, the ordinary duty of the life domestic, the life social, the life in reference to the State. And, If we show those qualities, if we show the qualities that make for good citizenship, for decency and civic righteous- ness in ordinary times, my faith is firm that when the need for heroic virtues arises our people will in the future, as they have always done in the past. show that thef have the ca- pacity for heroic work within them. (Ap- plavse.) Never have the walls of the Native Sons' Hall re-echoed cheérs such as were given during the enthusiasm aroused over the remarks of the President. That his hearers were impressed with the strong character of the American°who stood be- fore them was evidenced in their frequent outbursts and by the prolonged applause that punctuated the conclusion of his re- marks. LABORS OF PIONEERS AND NATIVE SONS - ) Immediately after his speech the Presi- dent and his party were escorted out of the hall and into their carriages, in which they were to be hurried off to angther and equally interesting function, the re- ception by the school children of San Francisco to their nation's chief, on Van Ness avenue. e e —— Medicos Hold Annual Meeting.
