Justice Anderson's Address.
In opening, Justice Anderson said he had
chosen a wide range for his remarks. With
the personnel of the society he was ad-
dressing as the keynote, he reviewed the
inception and development of the country.
The laying of the keel of the Mayflower in
1920 demonstrated to the world the heroic
mould of the hardy men of that day, which
was the source of American patriotism and
independence. Great as we are today, JUS
tice Anderson asserted, we are as nation
but in our sWaddling clothes in comparison
to what we are to develop into. Today our
SO, 100000 Of people represent the most stu
pendous reservoir of human energy the
world has ever known.
Justice Anderson reviewed all of the wars
in which this country participated and
drew the lesson that from our intelligent
study of their history lay our future deveI
opment. Washington, Lincoln and McKin-
ley were the names which would go down
to eternity linked together as, respectively,
the founder of the republic, the preserver
of the republic and the deiverer of the re-
public into world power. He paid a touch
ing and glowing tribute to the memory of
the late martyred President.
