tial special arrived here at 1850 o'clock.
Several thousand people greeted the
president, who spoke from the rear

The president in his remarks said:
"This is a nation of high privileges and
great opportunity. We have the free
school, the open Bible, the freedom of re-
ligious worship and conviction without re-
straint. We have tho broadcast opportunity
for advancement, with every door OPEN
The humblest among you may aspire to the
highest place in public favor and conf
dence. AS result of our splendid free in
stitutions the great body of men who con-
troll public affairs in state and nation. who
control the great business enterprises of
the country, the railroads and other great
industries, came from the humble Ameri-
can home and from the ranks of the plain
people of the United States. 1 have no
sympathy with that sentiment which
would divide my country into classes. 1
nave 10 sympathy with that sentiment that
would put the rich man on the one side and
the poor man on the other-labor on one
side and capital on the other, because all
OF them are equal before the law, all of
them have equal power in the conduct of
the government. Every mans vote in the
United States is The equal of every other
on that supreme day when we choose rulers
and congresses and governors and legisla-
lures. Our citizens may accumulate great
wealth. and many of them do; but they
cannot take it with them, nor can they en-
tail 1t from generation to generation. He
who inherits must keep 1t by his own pru-
dence or sagacity. If he does not 1t is d.
vided up among his fellows"
At Evanston.

glimpse of the president as he adj
dressed the crowd from the rear of the
train.
THE authority of the United States is as
sailed in one of the islands of the Pacific.
That authority will be established in that
island. The boys who carry our flag in that
distant sea will be sustained by the Ameri-
can people, for the flag they carry there is
the flag we carry here. 1t is the flag of our
faith and our purpose; it is the flag of our
love. 1t represents the conscience of the
country and carries with it wherever it
goes education, civilization and liberty
And let those who will lower it. Peace
first, then government afterward, giving
the largest liberty possible and the largest
participation in government of which the
Inhabitants are capable.
