tended so cordial an individual welcome TO our
guest that 1t seems almost unbenttlng, u the &C.
casiOn were not no full Of earnest tribute, TO

presence which graces the table tonight speaks
so impresslvely that n0 ''proper words In proper
places" are needed 10 further extend the compll-
ment. And vet We come here tonight 10 honor
him IN every way-tO honor the event OF which
he Is the hero the profession Of which he Is
nem9er and ourselves 6y honGtng hi' ,,d e

'oyalty and cOmpimented by scientists In the
I'D World and while be has received these dlstin-
pushed riyillties abroad and al nome IN modest
words Of tinid undeTtones, be comes 10 US to-
light the yeiy American type Of that lnd0mitable

he has told us, OF the warmer welcome with
which his professional brethren have greeted
lin.
We hut swell the wave Of renown that brings
lin back TO US from Europe. Well has u been
aid that "to innOyate Is not 10 refOfn:" but by
ir. Bennett II has been successfully proven that

var OF American newspaper enterprise into
Nfrica has marked new era OF Journalism and
4 history, and demonstrated that Its dis !
inRuished protector not only believed IN the
Tell-En0wn policy Of striking while the iron Is
ot, but IN that better policy Of which cromwell
poke, OF making the iron hot by constant strk-
ny. II Is not only to that spirit OF persistent /
luck and energy that We pay compliment by this |
ssemhlage, hut to the fact as well that u notes
n advance OF many years aud geographical and |
commercial growth with Its attendant con- /
Oinitanta OF civilization and power anh places
ir. Stanley side by side with DR.. Livingstone,
the most glorious OF all explorers Of African
geography in this day OF peace, with It's
ictories no less renowned than the days OF war,

hus give praise to the arts Of peace and the
FORKS OF peace.
