by Cheering ThronEs-Ex-
tracts from His Speeches.
Augusta, Me-, Aug. 27.-President
Roosevelt on Tuesday passed through
three states, delivered eight speeches
and received the plaudits of quarter
of million people. The greeting
which has marked his progress
through New England has been fiat
tering in the extreme, and Tuesdays
experience demonstrated his popu-
larity perhaps more than ever be-
fore. Everywhere at the regular stops
and the smaller stations along the
road the people were strenuous in
their efforts to catch a glimpse of him
or to hear him speak, and at Haver-
hill, Mass, this desire assumed such
form that the crowds completely
OVERRIDE the police and surrounded
the presidents carriage, making it
difficult for it to advance. In his
speech the president said:
More Yet to Do.
Our navy is now efficient, but we must
be content with no ordinary degree of eff
cheney. Every effort must be made to bring
II over nearer peTIeCllOn. In making
such effort the prime factor is to have at
the head of the navy such an official as your
fellow townsman, Mr. Moody; and the next
as to bring home to our people as a whole
the need of thorough and ample prepara
ton in advance; this preparation to take
the form not only of continually building
ships. but of keeping those ships in COM
mission under conditions which will devel-
OPP the highest degree of efficiency in the
officers and enlisted men aboard them
Address mt Lowell.
The special train arrived at Lowell
at 9:19 a. m, and its arrival was sig
nailed by the firing of presidential
salute by the local militia, and the G.
A. r. performed guard duty. The side
walks about the station were thronged
with people, and the common, which
was the scene of the real reception,
was black with humanity. Acting
Mayor Badger and committee of the
city government met the president and
party at the station and were pre-
sented by Charles NJ. Allen, former
governor of Porto Rico After few
words of welcome the party took car
riages and drove rapidly to the COM
mon through streets arched with
bunting and lined with cheering peo-
pie. The president said in part:
Now, gentlemen, we have done our full
duty by Porto Rico. We have done our
duty by Cuba. But want to ask this peo-
pie to act further than under a sense of
bare duty. To act in spirit Of generosity
such as BELTS great republic In dealing
with new and weaker republic which itself
has started on the career of important
'elf-government. And want Furthermore
that our people should be awake to their
own interest in the seas and lands south
of our country. We drive out those who
had been been depressing Cuba and we
cleaned house for them Not an easy task
for many of those cities had never before
been cleaned in their entire history. We
introduced a school system. We made jus
ttce In fact as we'll asin name. We stamped
out the plague of yellow fever, a plague
which was menace not merely to Cuba,
put to our own southern states, ard then
We left them Independent. But from the
very necessities of the case We are bound
to have intimate relations with them. Cuba
has got to be in a sense a part of our inter-
national policy system, and l ask most
earnestly that in return we make her part
of our economic system by establishing
reciprocal trade relations with her. Cap
plause. cheers and cries of "Right."3
