THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS.
In a clear voice, and loud enough to be
heard upon the borders OF the great crowo,
he spoke as follows: =,
Fellow Citizens OF Virginia; While |
thank YOU most sincerely for your kind
~reception and recognize in its heartlness
the h~0spitality for which the people OF
virginia have always been distinguished,
am fully aware that your demonstration
of welcome is rendered, not TO an IN:
dividual. but to an incumbent OF
an Office which crowns the govern
mpnt of the United States. The
Stota NJ Virginia. the mother Of
presidents. seven OF whose sons ave filled
that high office, to-day greets a president
who for the first time meets Nirgimans on
Virginia's soil. | congratulate myself that
my first introduction to the peopIe oil Nlr-
rinia occurs at a 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-
~amnTied. In our sisterhood Of states the
leading and most commanding place must
be gained and kept by h tcommonwealth
which, by the labor and intelligence OF her
citizens. can produce the most oil those
things which meet the necessities ana 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
products. The efforts and the struggles ot her
har rTFanna mot only create
new values in the field OF agriculture and
in the arts and manufactures, but they at
the same time produce rugged, seli-rellant
and independent men, and cultivate that
product which more than all Others emo
bles a state-a patriotic, earnest Amerl-
can citizenship. This will flourish IN every
part of the American domain. Neither
drouth nor rain can ever ln!uFe 10, Tor
il takes root In true hearts, and Is en-
riched by love of country. There are
no new virtues in this production. 1T must
be the same wherever seen, u its quality
is neither sound nor genuine unless 1T grows
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
nOb tOHl1 plOhLhpSof OhS SNONUA
tenaiers OF fairness and justice with
equal protection and full participation in
national achievements. If in the past we
have been estranged, and the cultivation
OF American citizenship has been inter
rupted, our enthusiastic welcome ~ofto-day
demonstrates nat there is an end to such
estrangement, Md that the time OF suspl-
cion and iearis succeeded,by an era II faith
and confidence. In such kindly atmos
phere and beneathsuch cheering skies greet
the people OF Virginia as co-laborers in q
field where grows the love OF our united
country. God grant that in years to com
Virginia, 1.-THE Old Dominion" the Moth
er Of Presidents, y she who looked on the ma
ton at her birth, may not only increase
her trophies Of growth in agriculture and
manuia cture, but that sne may be among
the first OF all states in the cultivation o
true American citizenship.
