of business or owned any property In tho
state and the railways OF the property
Of the Eastern Railroad company of Min

After thanking people for their greet

I'VE believe In the Monroe doctrine,
not as a means Of aggression at ALL 1t
does not mean that we are aggressive
toward any power. 1t means merely that
as the biggest power In this continent
we remain steadfastly under the Presi-
dency Of Monroe, through John Quincy
Adams-the principle that this continent
must be not treated as a subject for po-
litical colonization by any European
power. AS ! say. that Is not an agrees
sive doctrine. 1t is q doctrine of peace,
A doctrine of defense, a doctrine to Sc
cure the chance on this continent for
the United States here to develop peace
ably along their own lines, Now, we
have formulated that doctrine. If our
formulation consists simply of state
ments on the stump or ON paper, they
are not worth the breath that utters
them, or the paper on which they are
written. Remember that the Monroe
doctrine will be respected as long as we
have a first-ciass efficient navy and not
very much longer.

good. Dragging and boasting in private
life are almost always the signs of a
weak man, and a nation that is strong
does not need to have Its public men
boast or brag ON its account. Least OF
all does a self-respecting nation allow its
public representatives to threaten or
menace or insult another power. Our at
titude toward all powers must be one of
such dignified courtesy and respect rs
we intend that they shall show us in re-
turn. We must be willing to give the
friendly regard that we exact from them.
We must no more wrong them than we
must submit to wrong-doing by them.
But when we take position, let us re-
member that our holding it depends upon
ourselves depends upon our showing that
we have the ability to hold 1t"
After speaking of the part Vermont has
played In the countrys history through
Admiral Dewey and Clarke the President
continued:

called In question show that we have
only made an idle boast; that we are not

Aims of Summer Schools.

In his speech here tonight President
Roosevelt said:
Here, near the seat of the summer
school for young men founded by Dwight
L. Moody I naturally speak on a sub
ject suggested to me by the life of Mr..
Moody and by the aims of the summer
school. In such a school 1t seems to me
there are two texts specially worthy of
emphasis. One is BE ye doers of the
word and not hearers only and the
other Is Not slothful In business. fervent
In spirit, serving the Lord
"A republic of free men Is pre-eminent-
| " q community in which there Is need
for the actual exercise and practical APP
plication of both the. milder and the
stronger virtues. Every good quality,
every virtue and every grace has Its
place and Is of use in the great scheme OF
creation But 1t is a mere truism to say
that at certain times and in certain places
there is pre-eminent need for a given set
of virtues.
But virtue by itself is not strong
enough, or anything like enough,
Strength must be added to 1t and the de-
termination to use that strength. The
good man who is ineffective is not able
to make his goodness of much account
to the people as whole. No matter how
much a man hears the word. small is
the credit attached to him If he fails to
be a doer also. In serving the Lord he
must remember that he needs to avoid
sloth in his business as we'll as TO culti-
vate fervency of spirit"

have taken such strong hold OF their
son. The change for the worse in the
boys condition occurred during the
night and showed itself when the reg
ular morning examination was made
by DIR. Shattuck and DR.. Warren. Sec
rotary Cortelyou, who is the only
means Of communication with the
sick room, made the announcement
OF the patients serious condition, al
though he said then it was not alarm
ing. His temperature is higher"
said Mr.. Cortelyou, land his respira-
ton is weaker than Sunday, but his
pulse is better" He also said there
was no immediate change, only the
natural progress of the disease. He
announced that the disease had
spread and involved both lungs.
This sudden and unfavorable turn
warned the president that the most
skillful medical treatment was neces-
sary, and so last night he called to
the aid OF Drs. Shattuck and Warren

YOUNG TEDDY ILL.
The Presidents Son Lying Seriously Sick
with Pneumonia at Groton, Mass.-Nirs.
Roosevelt Gone to His bedside.

Washington, Feb. s.-AIrs. Roose-
welt, wife Of the president, left Wash
ington at 4;5O o'clock yesterday after
noon for Groton, Mass, where their
son, Theodore, Jr., is lying seriously
i'll of pneumonia. She travelled in a
drawing-room on the regular train of
the Pennsylvania road, which went
through to Boston without change,
arriving there this morning at seven
o'clock. From Boston the first avail
able train reached Groton at 1888 a.
m. Mrs. Roosevelt was accompanied
only by maid.
The first information to reach the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt of the
illness of their son was received at
the white house by telegraph at 9:2O
yesterday morning. The message
was signed by the president of the
college where the young man is a
pupil and stated in effect that
slight indisposition had developed
into an acute and sharp attack of
pneumonia and that he was seriously
i'll. Another message received during
the cabinet meeting stated that the
young mans temperature was 1914.
Arrangements were at once set on
foot for Mrs. Roosevelt's departure
for Groton yesterday afternoon and
since the first intelligence was re-
ceived the president has been in al
most constant communication by tele-
phone and telegraph with the college
faculty. According to the earlier re-
ports the sons condition had re-
manned almost unchanged since morn
ing. During the late afternoon and
early evening, however, several rather
reassuring messages were received at
the white house from Groton, the
tenor of which was that the condition
of the presidents son at this time is
satisfactory to the attending physi-
clans.
President Roosevelt himself is very
likely to go to Groton to-day and will
do so except in the event of very re.
assuring news being received during
the night. II he does go he will re-
turn almost Immediately if his sons
condition admits. 1t already has been
decided that Mrs. Roosevelt must re-
main by her sons bedside, but if his
condition is such As to make 1t safe
for the president to go farther away
from him he will keep his engagement
to go to the Charleston exposition
and will leave with his party on Mon
day night as originally planned.
