WHAT SECRETARY LONG SAID.
And then you know-it is so recent that it Is not
worth while for ne to recall II TO you. as 1t has
been repeated 20 you so often-what he did as
Assistant Secretary OF the Navy. You don't want
to hear what Mr. Roosevelt did then. You don't
care to know what think about that. But be-
lieve that you will be interested to hear-because
proba bly, most OF you have forgotten 1.-THE pro-
ihetic words Of President Mckinley and the noble

PROPHETIC LANGUAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
And now listen to the equally fervent and still!
more prophetic language of President Mckinley on
that same occasion He knew the kind OF man he
WAS dealing with. He knew into what service ne
was going He knew what his aspirations were 10
