usefulness.
You have a work to do along educa-
| tional lines" he said. You are the guard
ians of wards who are coming in thousands
from foreign shores. You should give them
the benefit of your knowledge and strength
| and let them feel that it is your duty to
devote part of your time to lifting them
| up, and not to bearing them down. This
duty is magnified and multiplied according
to their ignorance. Teach them that liber-
ty is not license.
THAT is the work for this organization,
and the opportunity is here for us to make
names for ourselves that shall go down to
posterity. You should have ideals. but not
so high to be beyond the aspirations of
the lowest of men.
These people coming to us from abroad
must be taught liberty and that liberty is
not license In the work of this organiza-
ton l can see along these lives great
usefulness. While We are proud of our
ancestors, let US have pride to make a
name for ourselves that shall go down to
posterity. Make it along lives proposed
by the President Of the United States and
inspire high ideals and patriotism.
Senator Lodges Address.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts was then
introduced After praising the character of
Washington, and speaking of lessons of
patriotism to be learned from revolution
airy history, Mr. Lodge said:
washington and his army were not all
ways successful. They had their troubles
and defeats. There were even occasions
when the men rose. in mutiny because
Congress failed to pay, them The army
had its critics, yet the opinion of post erity
goes to Washington rather than the emil
nent gentlemen who would have substitute
ed Gen. Gates in his place. The justice of
history Is cold comfort to living men.
When we find cause to eriticise or con-
nf oil ao+-
No men deserve more exact justice than
the soldiers who wear theouniform of the
United States. That rs the lesson the
revolution teaches. 3 ri
Il do not believe the arnny and the navy
are unworthy of the record of the men
who followed Washington or Grant, or who
fought against Spain. Give them justice.
Remember all the trials, the fatigues, the
perils they confront. Ne American can re-
fuse 1t. 1t is easy to criticise men strug-
Cling in an archipelago, scattered in little
bands, commanded by captains or lieuten-
ants. If they have done wrong you may
depend on the administration and the War
Department to condemn the guilty, but do
not let condemnation go. out first on that
great army Of the United States.
1T is not a republican army, nor Is it a
democratic army, but the army of the
United States. If they have done wrong
no man will regret it more than myself. l
stand here to plead for them, as 1 intend
pleading in other places that men may hear
all the facts and then do justice to the men
of the army whose record Is glorious from
Yorktown to Manila
Senator Lodge was frequently interrupted
by hand clapping during his speech which
ne concluded amid tremendous applause.
Gift for President General.
President General Logan was then pre-
sented with a handsomely bound volume of
the new national register of the society by
Mr.. Judge Whitehead of New Jersey for the
l.;
for his efforts in aiding the committee to
issue this volume. The volume was in
closed in case of historic wood.
The last speaker was Mr.. John Goode of
Virginia, who in humorous stories and
stirring references to revolutionary events
entertained the assembly. He met the
charge that his state of Virginia dwelt too
greatly upon the deeds Of the revolutionary
fathers and said that no people can do
great deeds who do not reverence those
who have achieved great things. He spoke
Of the material development Of Virginia
since the civil war, and said in its extent
1t had not been equaled by any people in
the annals of history. He cited instances
Of the growth of cities in the state, the
rapid upbuilding of Roanoke and Newport
News and other development in Virginia
to show it's wonderful vitality after being
the scene of a war that laid the country
in waste.
