Speech at Newport, N. n.
NEWPORT. n. H, August "a large
assembly greeted President Roosevelt on
his arrival here. The President addressed
the crowd for about ten minutes He said:
lit has been to me very great pleasure
TO visit your state. and, above all, to meet
your people. Your town here is a curiously
exact reproduction of America a whole
You have manufactures in your town
shoes, linens, underwear. You have hay
and stock farms outside, and you there
fore have IN this community the farmer
nd no tour STT1lr no nd hn
wdgew1rker, the farm owner and the hired
help. You have all the component parts
that go TO make UP the entire American
body polite.
In your four or five thousand citizens in
the town and adjacent neighborhoods you
have reproduced all the essential types of
ali our people among our eighty million in
habitantS of the nation a whole. These
are the men who did best to whom we owe
mOst-thOse who fought in the great civil
war-the men who did their duty in the
great days.
In other words You have here the men
who do the duty in time of peace-that
means the building up of the nation-and,
gentlemen, We are going to get good gov
erEment. square and fair dealing between
man and man in the nation at large by the
application of exactly the same principles
which you find it necessary to apply in or
der 10 get good government and decent Mv-
Ing here
Way to Get Good Government
There is not any royal road to good gov
ernment any more than there is royal
road TO learning. You can give child every
advantage, give him books and teachers,
but he has got to learn; he has got to do
that himself, and it is the same way with
citizenship You can frame laws and have
good constitution, and after all has been
done that you can do in that way you have
accomplished simply the creating of con-
d!tiOns which render it possible to have
good citizenship.
The good citizenship has to come from
the people themselves. In this government
right here in Your own town life, you have
II in your own hands to secure fair deal
ing. honest obedience in private life and In
public life, and You can only secure that
kind Of good government. that kind of So
cial betterment. by each doing his duty in
the ordinary work-day matters. And. 1t is
the same In the nation. l think we would
be a little better off and would know bet
ter what we can do and what we can't do
in national matters If We would each of US
think what can be done and what cannot
be dJEe in local matters. All that can be
done by government is TO create the con-
dItion under which man shall be given
justice. shall be guarded against injustice
and shall be left TO work out mis- fate ac-
CordiEg To the stuff that Is in him" Cap
