periences of the tour.
On the way from Corbin Park brief
stop was made at the summer home
OF Winston Churchill, the author, at
Cornish, N. II.
cornish is picturesque little viii
lage, and the inhabitants had gath
cred to give the President a rousing
reception. After being extended a
greeting by Mr.. and Mrs. Churchill,
a number of school children were pre-
sented to the President They filed
past him by twos and each little girl
handed him a bouquet of sweet peas,
pansies and asters. HIS carriage was
banked with flowers when he rose to
speak. After requesting that the MEM

Death of The wild Boar.
The party resumed it's way over the
mountains and reached Windsor

the heavy grades with as little diff
Guilty as il he were taking a stroll
through some city park.
The President was given a hearty
reception here and made an address
of about twenty minutes at the fair
grounds.
The President said:
THE crimes of craft and these
crimes of violence both are equally
dangerous. And we must remember.
after all, that those who come from
the set where one kind of crime is
dangerous are apt to denounce the
other type of crime. Both must be
put down. The man who commits vio-
lence, above all, the body of men who
commit violence, commit an outrage
not merely against their fellow-Ameri-
cans, but against the whole body poll
tic to which they belong
"Above all violence of the individual
above all violence of a mob-that
type of violence is incompatible with
free government, with free and order
ly liberty in our republic.
VIII to Abide by Law.
1.-THE first requisite OF liberty as we
and our forefathers have known it, is
the willingness to abide by the law.
The government must be Just; the law
must be no respector of persons. The
law must get at the big man who goes
wrong, just as it gets at the small
man who goes wrong-and it must get
at MN IN ms own interest. You can
protect the man of big means against
wrong doing by the law just 50 long
as you make him himself responsible
to the law.
ION the other hand, the worst enemy
of the people on whose behalf mob
violence is often invoked is the man
who conniyes at It, or incites It. The
worst wrong that can be done to our
people is to try to teach them that
aught can be obtained by mob rule.
or violence Of any kind. We can make
this government-we can keep it what
1t is; we cannot only make IT what It
is, but we can raise Il to still loftier
hight, but 1t must be done through the
orderly, decent process of liberty work.
