IL sent nobody home, either from vantage
| posi,ions along the line of parade or from
the capitol lawns.
The parade had been through the prin-

miles, and the sidewalks were lined with

was turned into holiday. Schools had
| been dismissed and the pupils Of all ages
were mingled with the throng. Women
waved handkerchiefs and looked eagerly
| for recognition from the President, who

of what he said at the three places:
"The flag never seemed so dear to us
| as it does now The flag of our country
| is in every mans hands. and patriotism
| Is in every mans heart. That is a good
omen for our country Our army and our
navy have given new meaning to Amer

| I'VE have had such a revival of patriot
ism in this country as we have never had
| since the earliest days of our history. For
| the first time in half a century North
| and South are united in holy alliance
| with one aim, with one purpose. and with
one determination, to stand by the Gov
ernment of the United States. That is
| what the war has done for the people of
the United States. What it has done for
| other peoples has yet TO be determined.
| but, as I look into your earnest faces, l
know that you would have this nation
help the oppressed people who have by
the war been brought within the sphere
of your influence"
AT Upton the President recognized his
auditors as of the gas belt, and congratu-
lated them on the enterprises they had
built upon the advantages nature had
given them.
AT Atlanta he congratulated his hear
ers on the establishment of the tin plate
industry there.
