through some of our Western States than to
see that the school children everywhere had
the starry flag in their hands. Let it be so
here and everywhere. Let them learn to
love ito know its beauties-in order that
when the time of peril comes they may be
ready to defend it. Prolonged applause]
at is essential to the existenceof coun-
try like ours that thought and speech should
be free, and free thought means differing
thoughts. 1t means that in an individual
exercise of the faculties God has given US
we will reach public question through diff
ferent conclusions; but. as l remarked the
other day to another audience, as long as our
differences stand, like the opposing but
tresses OF great arch, confronting each
other, but united above in love for the Con-
stitution and the flag, we have nothing to
fear" He spoke to the children assembled
and touched upon the value of the public
schools, and counseled love for the flag.
