aboard the car and as he arose this morn
ing appeared much refreshed from the
days rest afforded him yesterday at To-
dianapolis. All felt that today was to be
the trying ordeal of the trip. The states
of Indiana and Ohio were to be crossed
today, and the schedule provided for a
dozen brief stops to enable old friends an
opportunity to greet the president. The
speeches that these occasions would neces
state would be very trying aud require
the utmost physical exertion.
An immense crowd assembled at An.
derson, Ind. The president made a brief
speech referring to the rapid development
Of this region since the discovery and util-
ization of natural gas. He spoke OF the
presence of the school children and took
occasion to speak a good word for the
public schools. lie pointed out the ad-
tantages of learning and told the boys
there was nothing to which they might
not aspire in this country.
When the city of Muncie was reached
an immense assembly co~ngregated. The
president spoke at some length in regard
to the growth of the country since natural
gas was discovered and said: Sunlight
will not more surely shed its beams on us
this morning than this great tide of pros
perity which has set in through this gas
belt in Indiana shall go on increasing
until all these cities and towns within its
radius are full of busy men and humming
machinery. What does all this mean?
1t means employment for men. 1t means
happy and comfortable homes for an in
creasinR population. 1t means an in
aroouaA hnnA pnnrbak r. A. ---l..-
of your farms. 1t means the farmer will
have a choice OF crops and will have con-
sumers for the perishable products of his
farm at his very door.
Il do not forget that your good couu-
try sent to the war of the union in gal
liant regiments that went from this gal
liant state, a mulutude of brave men to
stand by the flag. Now let that love of
the flag be still uppermost in your hearts.
Nothing has pleased me more as l passed
through some of our western states than
to see that schoolchildren everywhere had
the starry flag in their hands. Let it be
SO here and everywhere. Let them learn
TO love it, to know its beauty in order
that when the time OF peril comes they
may be ready to defend it" Prolonged
applause.
One Of the greatest demonstrations of
the day took place at Winchester, where
several thousand people assembled.
Every building in the city and ever the
telegraph poles were adorned with stars
and stripes.
"The essential existence OF a country
hkB ours, said the president, sis that
Thought and speech should be free. and
free thought means differing thoughts. 1t
means that in the individual exercise of
the faculties which God has given us we
will reach on public questions different
conclusions, but as | remarked the other
dav to another audience, as long as our
differences stand like the opposing but
tresses of a great arch confronting each
other, but united above in love for the
constitution and flag, we have nothing TO
fear"
He spoke to the children assembled,
and touched upon the value of the public
school, and counseled love for the flag.

At Mansfield another large crowd was
assembled and the president spoke briefly
thanking them for their kindness and
saying he was glad to be permitted to
stop at the home of their distinguished
senator and his friend Sherman. Il am
sure, said he, however. you may differ
from him in political opinion, the people
OF Mansfield and of Ohio are proud of
the eminence which he has attained in
the councils of the nation and the distip-
guished service he has been able to render
to you, not only in congress hut in the
treasury department. [Cheers. He is

dress, referring to the industries of the
city, the president said: 1T is well that
your InterchanGing industries and pur-
suits lean upon and help each other, in.
creasing and making possible the great
prosperity which o enjoy, | hope il is
true here that everybody is getting a fair
return for his labor.
We annot afford in America to have
any discontented classes, and if fair wages
are paid for fair work we will have none,

ness is the highest good. | am not one
of those who believe it can be to ny in

strength, our promise for the future. our
security for social happiness is content
ment of the great masses who toll. 1t Is

tween capital and labor, each having its
