The day. was {1deal for such an {mportant ceremony, and without so much as even a trifling delay the immense stone, which occupied the northeast corner of the building, was placed In position with the anclent tere- | monials of the Masonic faith. Great attention had been pald’ to the care and. comfort of the thousands who were accorded an opportunity to witness the exercises and to listen to one of the most notable addresses ever delivered by the President during his public career. Flags and bunting were everywhere. Stand after stand was provided, and high above all other vantage places was the President’s box, overlooking the Capitol Plaza and fronting the great white Cap- itol building on the west and the Library of Congress on the east. Palms and growing plants were there, and the faint touch of the new green of the trees, shad- ing off into the richer green of the plaza, made an inspiring picture. THRONG GREETS PRESIDENT. President Roosevelt, accompanied by members of his Cabinet and escorted: by the office building commission, Spe.aker Joseph G. Cannon, Representative W. P. Hepburn of Towa and ex-Representative James D. Richardson of Tennessee, ar- rived comparatively early. When the President came into view of the immense | audience. aroar of kindly welcome greet- ed him. Immediately after the arrival of the President the Senate of the United States, with Vice President Fairbanks at the head, entered the stand reserved for it, followed by ~a large membership of the House of ~Representatives. MMr. irbanks took a seat to the left of the Fresident, and his presence, t00, wag loudly indicated by the assemblage. A large number of ladies were on the President’s stand, among them being Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mrs. Cowles, sister of the President, and Mrs. Fairbanks. Upon the arrival of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia, with Walter A. Brown, grand master, at its head, the ceremony of laying the’ corner- stone began.

SPEECH OF GRAND MASTER. Grand Master Brown said in part: “This gavel, known as the Washin ton.gavel, was made out of the marble used in the construction of the United States Capitol and for the specific pur- pose of and used for the first time in laying the cornerstone of that edifice. September 18, 1793. This ceremony was performed with full Masonic rites by General George Washington, acting grand master, and upon the completion | of the ceremony this ‘gavel was pre- | sented by President Washington to Valentine Reintzell, then master of Po- tomac Lodge of this city, which lodge has ever since possessed and guarded with zealous care this historic relic. “Five other Presidents, James K. Polk, Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, Wil- | liam McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, have also used this gavel on notable oc- casions. It is by the courtesy of Poto- | mac Lodge that I am permitted to use | it at this time. “Within these walls the nation is to {be beneficlary through the laws that shall here have their beginning. We can only hope that this structure, which has had the best thought of many minds | in its planning, will house faith, honor {and duty and that selfishness and pas- | ston will be noticeable by thelr absence. {In yonder capitol will be pronounced | the judgments on legislation :hat will here take form and so we lay this cor- | nerstone with the hope that from this | building will emanate those laws that |'will but strengthen us as a nation and | accentuate that for which the founders | of the republic so unselfishly labored. “Here we fondly hope will arsemble the nation's representatives, imbued | with high ideals to frame the laws nec- | essary to a free and enlightened peo- | ple. | “Here we hope the constitution will | be defended and illuminated by knight- |1y courage to do the right. Here before | this august assemblage, here before the | President of the United States, here in | the presence of the Supreme Court of | the United States and the Senate, here | eign countries, here before the 8 | Speaker of the House of Representa- tives and its membership and here be- fore this great concourse of venple wa lay the cornerstone and dedicate the structure to rise thereon to the larger glory, the greater wisdom of the nation, this land, the ‘radiant center of the Anglo-Saxon power.' ™ An instrumental selection followed. and then the President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives entered the President’s box. Their appearance was greeted with round after round of ap- plause. Without so much as waliting for the applause to cease, the Speaker, wav- ing his hand to silence the audlence, sais “Citizens: time to introduce to you one who needs mo introduction, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States.” ° MR. ROOSEVELT’'S ADDRESS. The President was in splendid voice, and throughout the address hearty and long-continued applause greeted his words. He spoke as follows: § “In ‘Pilgrim’'s Progress’ the man with the muck rake is set forth as the ex- ample of him whose vision is fixed upon carnal instead of upon spiritual thinga Yet ha also tynifies tha man | in the slght of representatives of (or-.l It is my privilege at this eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. Now it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and de- basing. There is filth on the floor and it must be scraped up with the muck rake, and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be per- formed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck rake, speedily beeomes I not a help to society, not an incitement to good, but one of the most potent forces for evil. “There are in the body politic, eco- nomic and soclal, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There shoula be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man, whether politi- clan or business man, every evil prac- i tice, whether in politics, in business or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who on the platform, or in book, magazine or newspaper, with merciless severity, makes such attack, provided, always, that he in Ms turn remembers that the attack is of use only If it is abso- lutely truthful. The liar is no whit bettér than the thief, and if his men- dacity takes the form of slander he may be worse than most thleves. It puts a premium upon knavery untruth- with hysterical exaggeration to assail a bad man with untruth. An epidemic ter does no good, but very great harm. The soul of every scoundrel is glad- dened whenever an honest man is as- sailed, or even when a scoundrel is un- truthfully assailed. CRITIC MUST DISCRIMINATE. “To assail great and admitied evils of our political and industrial life with such crude and sweeping generaliza- tions as to' include decent men in the general condemnation means the sear- ing of the public conscience. There re- sults a general attitude either of cynical belief in and indifference to public cor- ruption, or else of a distrustful inabil- ity to discriminate between the good and the bad. Either attitude is fraught with untold damage to the country as a whole. “The fool who has not sense to dis- criminate between what is good ana what is bad Is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad. There is nothing more distressing to every good patriot, to every good American, than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allega- tion ‘of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is ‘worse than the crackling of thorns un- der a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition. PERIOD OF UNREST. “At this moment we are passing through a perfod of great unrcst—so- cial, political and industrial unrest. It is of the utmost importance for our fu- ture that this should prove to be not the unrest of mere rebelllousness against life, of mere dissatisfaction with the Inevitable inequality of condi- tions, but the unrest of a resolute and eager ambition to secure the better- ment of the Individual and the nation. So far as this movement of agitation throughout the country takes the form of a flerce discontent with evils, of a determination to punish the authors of evil, whether in industry or in politics, e ——— Doctors Say Drink Beer With Your Meals It Will Aid Diges- tion as Well as Give You an Appetite. Doctors find pure beer one of the most reliable tonics. On account of its high nourishing qualities when made from eight-day malt and choicest hops, as Pabst Beer is, it is prescribed as a =uperior adjunct to the dlet of the con- valescent. Pure, well-aged beer is a tonic, an appetizer, an aid to digestion, and a food that is strengthening and nourish- ing. Solid foods are injurious if par- taken of too freely, because solids re- main in the stomach a long time and retard digestion. Nourishing liquids, such as milk, soups or good beer, quick- ly pass from the stomach (physiologists gay in about 46 minutes). Milk is 88 per cent. water and 12 per cent nourish- ment. Pabst Beer is 88 per cent steril- ized water and 12 per cent nourishment. ‘That is good beer, the richest, cleanest, purest beer known. Pabst Beer is superior because it is manufactured by the exclusive Pabst method of brewing—with eight-day malt and choicest hops, the result of 60 vears' successful scientific and practical research, When we drink a glass of beer we want to know we are drinking beer made from best materials 'in a perfectly clean manner. -When you drink Pabst Beer you are sure of the best materials and absolute cleanness. Malt is the soul of beer and when we say that the exclusive Pabst eight-day method of making malt gives more ex- tract—more rnourishment—than any other malt you will know why it is that Pabst Beer is superfor. When we tell you that from the time the mash is cooked until the perfectly brewed, per- fectly aged beer is barreled or bottled it never comes in contact with any air but sterilized air and {8 never touched by human hands. you will know why Pabst Beer excels in purity and clean- ness. These are reasons why doctors every- where recommend Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer as always clean and wholesome, as well as pure and refreshing. e THOS.W.COLLINS & CO., Agents San Francisco, Cal.

We should discriminate.in the sharpest way between fortunes well won and fortunes ill won; between those gained as an incldent to perform- ing great services to the community as a whole and those gained in evil fash- fon by keeping just within the limits of mere law honesty. Of course, no amount of charity in spending such fortunes in any way compensates for misconduct in making them. PROGRESSIVE TAX PROPOSED. “As a matter of personal conviction and without pretending to discuss the details or formulate the system, I.feel that we shall ultimately have to con- sider the adoption of some such scheme 45 that of a progressive tax on all for- tunes beyond a certain amount, either given in life or devised or bequeathed upon death to any individual—a tax so framed as to put it out of the power of the owner of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on meore than a cer- taln amount to any one individual; the tax of course to be imposed by the national and not the State govern- ment. Such taxation should of course be almed merely at the inheritance or transmission in their entirety of those fortunes swollen beyond all healthy limits. “Again the National Government must in some form exercise supervision over corporations engaged In Interstate business—and all large corporations are engaged in interstate business— whether by license or otherwise, so as to permit us to deal with the far-reach- ing evils of overcapitalization. NECESSITY OF HONESTY, “This year we are making a begin- ning in the direction of serious effort to settle some of these economic prob- lems by the railway rate legislation. Such legislation, if so franied, as I am sure it will be, as to secure definite and tangible results, will amount to some- thing of itself; and it will amount to a great deal more in so far as it ts taken as a first step in_ the direction of a policy of superintendence and control not to be exercised In a spirit of malev- olence toward the men who created the wealth, but with the firm purposc bath to do justice to them and to see hat they in turn do justice to the blic at large. “The first recuisite in the public ser- vants who arc to deal in this shape with corporations, whether legisla- tors or executives, is honesty. This honesty can be no respector of persons. There can be no such thing as uni- lateral honesty. The danger is not really from corrupt corporations, it springs from corruption itself, whether exercised for or against corporations. SANITY ALSO ESSENTIAL. “No good whatever will come from that warped and ~mock morality which de- nounces the misdeeds of men of wealth and forgets the misdeeds practiced at their expense: which denounces bribery, but blinds Itself to blackmail; which foams with rage if a corporation secures | favors by improper and merely leers with hideous mirth if the corpora- — tion is itself wronged. The only publiec servant who can be trusted honestly to protect the rights of the public against the misdeeds of a corporation is that pub- lic man who will just surely protect the corporation itself from wrongful ag- gression. If a public man is willing to yield to popular clamor and do wrong to the men of wealth or to rich corporations, it may be set down as certain that if the opportunity comes he will and furtively do wrong to the public in the in- terest of a corporation. “But In addition to honesty we need sanity. No honesty will make a publie man useful if that man is timid or foolish, if he is a hot-headed zealot or an imprac- tical vislonary. ““As we strive for reform we find that it is not all merely the case of a long uphill pull. On the contrary, there is almost as much of breeching work as of collar work; to depend only on traces means that there will soon be a runaway and an upset. CONTROL NOT TO BE BLOCKED. “The men of wealth who today are try- ing to prevent the regulation and control of their business in the Interest of the public by the proper Government authori~ ties will not succeed, in my judgment, in checking the progress of the movement. But if they did succeed they would find that they had sown the wind and would surely reap the whirlwind, for they would uitimately provoke the violent exceases which accompany a reform coming by convulsion ln{lnd of by steady and nat- ural growth. “On the oither hand, the wild preach- Continued on Page 41, Columa 3 L] 7” Dr. Humphreys’ Seventy- Seven breaks up Grip and
