 After the courses had been feasted
 upon until the inner man was satisfied
 President Max Adler of the Chamber of
 
 occasion, arose and after appropriate Introductory remarks introduced Pres ident Hadley. MT. Adler was ire quently applauded during the course of his remarks. He spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Chamber, Invited Guests and Friends: As president of
 the Chamber of Commerce, l bid you all hearty welcome Once more has
 time, in it's never ending march, reach-
 ed that annual period when the mem
 bers of the chamber, with their friends,
 forgetting for the moment the cares
 and strifes of the business world and
 the worries and uncertainties of conn
 mercial life, gather together in force
 to greet one another with the hand of
 sociability and to spend few short
 hours in pleasant association around
 the festive board, listening to the
 words of wisdom and of wit from men
 of character and renown, and upon
 this particular occasion to do honor to
 one of our fellow members who, since
 last we met upon an occasion like this,
 has been deservedly raised to the high
 and exalted position of the presidency of our great university-a matter Of
 which I will speak more fully later.
 What an suspicious occasion is this
 for the meeting of g. chamber of com
 merce? Throughout the length and
 breadth of the land trade and com merce are prospecting. As we look in retrospect of the last few years, what a change has occurred! Where, yes terday, the factory looked dark and gloomy in it's enforced idleness, to-day it Is made bright and cheerful by the sweet music of the busy machinery in it's endeavor to make up for the time it has lost; the merry hum of the loom and spindle is heard on every hand, while the ponderous notes of the trip hammer assist in sending forth the glad tidings of prosperity arrived. | From every section, from every corner | of our country come the glad tidings of industrial awakening and commer- cial activity
 But, Gentlemen, if we would have this great prosperity continue; if we | would keep our machinery constantly | running; if we would sell the products | we do not need for ourselves, there | must come to us larger field of trade, a greater number of people to buy of us what we have to sell, Tn short, there must come to us an expansion of market. Great as our country is, both in point of territory and of popu lation, great as is the annual cOnsump tion of our people, yet greater are our to bring forth the fruits of the land, and our ability to turn out the product of the shop. We must find other mouths to feed as well as our own. We must find other peoples to buy the surplus output of our mills.
 I had hoped when I delivered my in- augural address, that by the time of this gathering, the war in the Philip pines would be over and that we would be at peace with all the world. This time has unfortunately not yet ar rived In the meantime, however, there must be no faltering in our devotion to our country. There must be no he's itancy in our purpose to put down those poor, misguided people who fail to see in us their true friends and not their enemies. There must be no halt ing in our advance until the suprem- acy of our flag is recognized by every man who now bears arms against it. To retreat at this time from our posi- ylOIl, lO Idhe d DdCh Wdlu Sltp, Nouiu l ( De to surrender to the world our dig 1ity and to suffer the loss of our self 'espect and be a confession of weak less that would be as humiliating to our national pride as 1t would be fla al to it. When, however, complete victory comes to our arms, as victory must, let us give to the inhabitants of ,ur newly acquired territory that full measure of freedom and of independ- ,nce that they show themselves best qualified to use and to appreciate.
 But, gentlemen, a few words about ourselves. Founded in 1794, there is ,ut one other chamber in the country hat precedes us in point of age. That pleasant bit of irony from our late la nented friend, whom all who knew Jim loved so dearly, who once upon a inc inquired, What the Chamber of Commerce does between meals?" no onger has for us the potency 1t had when uttered, for the chamber now oes, and for long time has done, between meals. Even if 1t l id nothing but meet st the joyous oc- l ( asion of mealtime, as our friend sug ( ested, it would even, for that reason ; lone, have justified it's existence for a ringing together once a year, at least, 5
