1.-The Close of the Century at the Grand
opera house. He said in part:
Let the American people celebrate the
birth of the twentieth century by a
memorable act-give liberty to the Fill
pinos. Victor Hugo used to say that 10
festival OF celebration was. complete
which did not bring amnesty or pardon
to some people; let uSa pardon the FILE
pinos for rebelling against our sover-
eighty, if that is the crime we charge
them with and in addition, let Us confer
upon them liberty. Let America es tablish
divine precedent-tbat of giving free
dom freely and without price to a peo-
pie who prefer liberty to life. Liberty
has hitherto. been wrested from rulers at
the point of the bayonet; let us have lib
bayonet. Our example, I am hopeful, will
become a noble epidemic; Russia, Turkey
and Great Britain will go and do like
wise; and Poland, Armenia and South
Africa will once more know the sweets
of liberty. Such an act on our part will
deal the death blow to war, which a
great American has called hell and will
usher in the thousand years Of peace.
Let us baptiZe the twentieth century In
the name of peace, liberty and progress.
Let us christer her the peoples century.
Let us ask of the new century religion
without superstition, politics without
war, art and the sciences without ma
terialism, and wealth without misery or

has been incidentally mentioned in con-

and the detectives are endeavoring to
locate him.
