washington, May 31.-President
Roosevelt was the principal orator at
the memorial exercises in Arlington
cemetery yesterday, delivering long
and eloquent address. AS he arose he
was greeted with cheers and the plau-
dts OF the immense Audience which
stretched far outside the limits of the
amphitheater. His remarks were
given the closest attention and he was
frequently interrupted by bursts of
applause. The applause accorded him
as he concluded was loud and continu-
GUS and as he took his seat some one
in the crowd cried out: Three
cheers for our brave PRESIDENT"
whereupon a mighty shout went up
from the thousands who had crowded
into every available space to hear
him
He touched on many subjects of
public interest and in conclusion
said:
Nor, while fully acknowledging our
duties to others, need we forget our
duty to our own country. The Pacific
seaboard is as much to us as the At
lantic; as we grow in power and pros
perity so our interests will grow in
that farthest west which is the imme-
mortal east. The shadow of our des
tiny has already reached to the shores
of Asia. The might of our people al
ready looms large against the world
horizon; and it will loom ever larger
as the years go by. No statesman has
a right to neglect the interests which
are important to all our people, but
which are of most Importance to those
of our peple who have built populous
and thriving states on the western
slope of our continent.
This should no more be a party
question than the war for the union
should have been party question.
At this moment the man in highest
Office in the Philippine islands is the
vicegovernor, Gen. Luke Wright OF
Tennessee, who gallantly wore the
gray in the civil war and who is now
working hand in hand with the head
of our army in the Philippines, Adna
Chaffee, who in the civil war calamity
wore the blue. Those two, and the
men under them, from the north and
from the south, in civil life and in
military life, as teachers, as admins
traitors, as soldiers, are laboring might-
lily for us who live at home. Here and
there black sheep are to be found
among them: but taken as whole
they represent as high standard of
public service as this country has ever
seen. They are doing great work
for civilization, a great work for tno
honor and lie interest of this nation,
and above all for the welfare of the in
habitants of the Philippine islands.
All honor to them, and shame, thrice
shame. to us if we fail to uphold their
hand"
