West Virginia delivered the invocas
tion after which the Chairman well
coined the visitors and the spectators
to the city on behalf of the people re-
siding here. Mr.. Sturgiss is always
eloquent but he was never better than
he was this afternoon. At the close
of this which was frequently inter-
rupted by cheering, he introduced
Judge ]. Marshall Hagans who re.
sponded TO the subject sOur Hero. "
Speech Of Hon. j. NJ. Hagans.
All the world loves heroes. The
ancients enthroned them as daities;
the moderns clothe them with earthly
immortality. The chief charm sur.
rounding the elevation Is that they
have achieved something beyond the
rest of their fellows In some sphere OF
human activity on land or sea. They
have led where others dared not go,
and have succeeded where others fail
ed. Theirs has been the grasping oil
opportunity when the occasion arose,
or it has been their genius to make
the pages Of History conform to their
destiny. Whatever the circumstances
that have contributed to their uplift-
ing, the world, happily for the race,
generously crowns them with the
honors which are the highest slim
illus towards the good, the beautiful
and the true.
So it is that whether the hero of old
Is the subject Of contemplation or the
mind is drawn towards the more re-
cent actions, with which fear and
hope are intermingled, still the cour-
age, the bravery and the undaunted
heart OF the hero, whether by wisdom
In council or prowess on the battle
field, is the tombstone by which all
men acknowledge his title 10 prece-
dence.
The far away hero OF the morning OF
time excites the imagination and be.
gets the wonder that such personages
could have lived, and also could have
died Medieval heroes mark the pro-
qress from the mythical to the practi-
cal present. Modern heroes disclose
the full fruition of the struggles OF
the race from the darkness of a super
stitious mysticism to the glorious light
which floods the world today from the
eternal sun of Truth. And when the
community can say as is said to-day,
that it presents no far away hero,
whose title is measured by the flight
OF years or is stamped with the cruel.
ties OF mock heroic age, but is the
outgrowth OF virtuous and lofty
period OF purity and human philan-
thropy, it is indeed a triumph of a
most meritorious pride.

| Chadwick Day is over as far as
the formal exercises are concerned.
The long looked for day has arrived
and is nearly gone The occasion
has been even more successful than
its promoters hoped for and certain
| ly far in advance of the peetations
of those who were not on the inside
and did not know what plans were
on foot
That the plans have been carried
out with such remarkable success
and to such remarkable degree is
due in large measure to the execu-
tive committee which has given
largely of the time of its members
to the affair since it was at first pro
posed.
Morgantown has always been a
center of patriotic sentiment and it
found utterance to-day in a way that
is unmistakable The people gave
way to their feeling and love of coun
try run riot in every breast
The visitors couldn't help no
ticing the great growth of our little
city in the last few years and the
many improvements that we have
made in that time. The city at the
head of slackwater has a great many
natural advantages and aer citizens
have contributed in no small meas
ure in helping these out and max
ing an..even greater showing than the
natural resources would justify alone
Another fact of significance in
conjunction with the day cannot es-
cape observation. Chadwick is only
one of Morgantown's sons who have
achieved distinction. They are to
be found in every country of the
globe and in almost every position
within the power of man to reach.
Few towns the size of this one
has the wide reaching influence that
Morgantown enjoys and it is because
of the stuff that is in her sons that
she stands so high. She feels that
the occasion may be sufficient ex-
cuse for Boosting trife concerning
her proud position and the enviable
record that she has made.
She has done her best to get
ready to receive the visitors to-day
and will do everything possible to
see that they enjoy the stay in the
city.
The crowd began to gather yester-
day coming in in the afternoon in
order to get on the ground early and
see everything that was to be seen.
They have kept up steady influx
all day and the town in consequence
has had the greatest crowd in it
that has ever been in the city before.
That everything passed off as well
as it did is a thing Of congratulation
to everyone. Few accidents of any
kind marred the day which was an
ideal one from every standpoint.
From the time that the Governor
arrived on yesterday afternoon I'M
til the conclusion of the exercises at
the stand this afternoon the celebra-
tion has been one of great signifi-
canoe and it has moved without a
hitch being apparent.
The exercises of the day began
with the salute fired by the cadets
in honor of the Admiral and were
followed in a short time by the for
nation of the parade on Front street.
| Everything seemed to be on good
terms with everything else; there
was no hitch anywhere, and as all
the old Monongalians hope it meas
ured up their expectations.
