men Of the best thought and 'wisdOm,just
! such men as I am now addressing You
3 Of the great west hold in your hands the
= future Of this nation. It rests with you
and you will. ! know, show yourselves
ID equal to the task. We always have with
o us our home problems and we should aim
always to get into public life men of
courage of common sense and Of honesty.
No amount Of genius or brilliancy can
e atone for a lack Of the element Of fear
- tirfIl rruHn rraa
% lest the man has all three. The ablest
man alive II corrupt is a danger TO the
D- country or community to just the extent
e Of his brillancy OF ability. and you, gen
IT tlemen are in honor bound TO allow him
10 to feel the weight OF your dlsapproval.
.. 81 don't care how brave a man SIS, II he
s a natural born fool he Is not worth
knocking on the head.

p he IS not At for public life, no matter
how brilliant he may be.
y we have certain important foreign pro
D. lens which confront US. The United sta
H. tes has evidently as great destiny Gu
10 the Pacific as on the Atlantic ocean and
- whether we live on the former or on the
latter we must be equally interested in the
r. welfare Of the nation upon every foreign
m question that we should all see that the
nation rises on the Pacihe as on the At
lantio and We have a right TO demand Of
all good citizens to stand BY the presi-
= dent as he upholds the honor anl glory
r. ana the greatness Of tho flag, no matter
what the individual ideas may be regard
a ing the Philippine question. We cannot
&c fool any one who bears arms against our
a- aims and destiny. The people Of the world
j. must be made to realize that we fear none
d ana that we must be made TO realize that
1e and that we must be obeyed whenever we
L are contendlng for oru lights. We mus,
s. treat those who are against us as they
desirve, and when we nave proven them
D. the right and business Of our cause, then
% we must treat them with humanity anc
iiberality, and because Of their weakness,
~ we should be more than ordinarily gen
o. erous and pust with them And we want
to make il understood that while we feai
N no nation and shirk no duty, we desir,
le above all things, peace, and we feel ther,
le are three great nations which have in.
le terests together These are America, Eng
h land and Germany. These should worl
Ia hand ia hand for the solution Of the cues
IS tons that now confront us in the Pacific D.
