"My fellow citizens am very glad
to meet you and greet you here this
morning. 1 need not sag that I like the
nag which you carry. Whenever you
Put that flag In the hands Of the boys
and girls you put patriotism IN their
hearts. There are two strong and
marked phases IN the war with Spain.
The one Is Its herolsm and the other
humanity. The individual courage of
the soldier and the sailor has never
been surpassed. Both at Manila and
Santiago with Dewey's feet and samp-
sons squadron there were distinguish
ing exhibitions Of personal yalor and
lnt+est tiitilied On 81
With the land forces al fiia San Juan
hill and Fl CaneV and Manila, so with
the marines at Guantanamo. This is
the heroic side.
The other is the humanitarian side.
The first ship to enter the harbos of
Santiago after the surrender OF the
Spanish forces and army to General
shafter was a ship laden with food and
provisions and medicines carrying the
Red Cross to the suffering Inhabitants
of that land. And so all through the
war we have mingled with our heroism
our splendid and glorious humanity.
There was no malice in our conflict,
there was no bitterness or resentment
connected with It and when It was all
over we treated our foe as generously
as we could have treated friend. All
this must be inspiring 70 the American
people. We are a great people. We
love peace, not war; but when we 60
to war we send TO It the best and braV-
est Of the country, and Iowa in this
war, as in the great civil war, eontribu-
ted her share OF patriotic boys to fight
the battles OF our country. thank
you all and bid you good morning.
(Great applause).

OF great crowd and said:
"My fellow citizens, am very much
gratihed at your reception. have Just
come from the great city of the west
and have witnessed wonderful exhl-
billion OF your genius and skill and in
dustry as shown at the trans-MlssIss-
lppI exposition. Nothing has given me
greater satisfaction as have journeyed
through the country than to look into
the cheerful faces of the people and to
be assured from their appearance that
despair no longer hangs over the west,
but that you are having fair share
of prosperity, and not only that, but
you are having a baptism OF patriotism
in which we all rejoice" (Applause).
