THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS.
In clear voice, and loud enough to be
ard npOp fhe borders of the great crowd.
he spoke as follows:
Fellow Citizens of Virginia While l
thank You most sincerely Tor your KIND
reception and recognize i'll its heartiness
the hospitality for which the people OF
Virginia have always been distinguished,
am fully aware that your demonstration
OF welcome is rendered, not to an i'll.
dividual. but to an incumbent OF
an office which crowns the govern
ment of the United States. The
State OF Virginia, the mother of
presidents seven OF whose sons have filled
that high Office, to-day greets president
who for the first time meets Nirginians on
Virginia s soil. congratulate myself that
my first introduction to the people OF Nir-
-sinia occurs at time when they are sur
rounded by the exhibits Of the productive
ness and prosperity OF their state. What
ever there may be OF honor in her history.
and however much OF pride there may be IN
her traditions. her true greatness Is here ex-
emplited. In our sisterhood OF states the
leading and most commanding place must
be gained and kept by that commonwealth
which. by the labor and intelligence OF her
citizens, can produce the most OF those
things which meet the necessities and de-
sires OF mankind. But the full advantage
of that which may be yielded to a state by
the toll and ingenuity OF her people Is not
measured alone by the money value OF the
Co. 4 + hos ~ olp,f OF nr
farmers and her artisans not only create
new values in the field OF agriculture and
in the arts and manufactures, but they at
the same time produce rugged self-reliant
and independent men, and cultivate that
product which more than all Others enno-
bles q state-a patriotic, earnest Anerl-
can citizenship. This will flourish in every
part OF the American domain. Neither
drouth nor rain can ever inlure 1t, FOR
it takes root in true hearts, and Is en-
riched by love of country. There are
none virtues in this production. 1t must
ne the same wherever seen, and its qualty
is neither sound nor genuine unless ltgrows
to deck and beautify an entire and united
nation nor unless it supports and sustains
the institutions and the government found
ed to protect American liberty and happi-
ness. The present administration OF the
government is pledged to return for such
husbandry not only promises, but actual
tenders OF fairness and justice with
equal protection and full participation in
national achievements. If i'll the past we
have been estranged. and the cultivation
OF American citizenship has been inter
rupted, our enthusiastic welcome ofto-day
demonstrates that there is an end to such
estrangement, and that the time OF susp
cion and fearis succeeded by an era faith
and confidence. In such kindly atmos-
phere and beneath such cheering skies greet
the people OF Virginia as co-lab"rers in a
fe,d where grows the love of our united
country. God grant that in years to come
