W. r. Kendall, the winner, was born
in Morrow county, Ohio, August 81, 1873.
When he was years OF age his parents
moved to Kansas where he lived till the
opening of Oklahoma His father settled
on a farm near Moore, Cleveland county,
and since then, with the exception Of two
years spent in California his home has
been there His early schooling was Oh
tanned in Kansas During the term OF
1867 he rode eight miles TO school at Ok
lahoma City. The next winter was spent
in teaching in a country district of Cleve-
land county. Last year, 1858, he taught
in the city schools at Norman. At the
beginning OF the present year he enrolled
in the freshmen year at the university.
The Grafton of the champion of the Ter
ritoriaI university was entitled: Our
National Destiny" 1t a succinct. en-
phatic declaration in favor OF expansion.
After reciting IN logica! sequence the
manifold benefits which will result from
that policy, the orator wound up as fol-
lows:
Finally, not the least of the questions
fs that n fllltV
Error in judgment may be corrected.
Disasters from mistaken policies may be
changed to blessings; but debased pub
lie conscience is a hurt that no future
penitence can heal. The fortunes of q
just war have thrown upon our hands the
blessings of liberty. For centuries they
have been robbed of their llfe-blood by
the vampire of the Old World. For gen.
erations their minds have been STEPPED in
the odious corruption of Spanish misFule.
They come to US crushed and bleeding,
void of all conception OF right govern
ment void of all faith in mankind; and
yet. sunken as they are in the scale Of
humanity, they still possess wonderful
possibilities They come with pleading in
their every aspect, holding out irnploring
hands and asking for protection and help.
Shall their cries be heeoed? Yes; from
the great, loyal, sympathetic heart OF
the republic comes the emphatic re-
Spouse, Yes Yes. In this response we
read the concluding argument In the
answer to our question. We are not
drifting, but under the guidance Of a
Divine hand we are holding a course that
shall lead to a destiny nobler than any
yet vouchsafed TO the nations of earth.
The Incidents and the accomplishments
of the past two years are not the result
Of aimless wanderings of a derelict, but
the glorious achievements OF an aroused
nation. rising in its giant strength u
hurl the eastern octopus from the west
ern hemisphere, and to rescue from its
clutches the Philippine archipelago. The
heroic deeds Of our noble soldiers and
sailors will be characterized in history
not as a needless sacrifice to national
blUnder: they Will be emblazoned on the
brightest page of the records OF our Chris
ton civilization. The flag Of the great
republic will not 60 down TO coming
generations the ensign OF greed and con-
quest: but Il will float the emblem Il
freedom over ten million happy island
homes. surrounded by all that exalts our
own fair land and embellishes the high
est type OF manhood. Then viii the world
read a deeper meaning into the lines u
Drake:
Flags Of the free hearts hope and home
By angel hands u valor given.
Thy stars have lit the wolkin dome
And all thy hues were born n heaven"
