and the government will do well or Ill
according as we conduct it, and we
must make up our minds how the af-
fairs of the government shall be
managed. No man can take the bur-
den of government off the people tit
ted for self-government; no man can
make it easy for any people to gov
ern themselves, they have got to de-
termine for themselves how the gov
ernment shall be and in the long run
the government will reap their wish
es. reap their wishes for good or
their wishes for evil or else their in
difference to good or evil; and upon
my word I would rather have them
actually bad than to have them neith-
er. (Cheers.) And so my appeal to
you my fellow Americans, to you
here, as to every citizen in every sec
ton of the country, is that nothing,
no law, no leader, no leadership can
possibly take the place of the exer-
else of the fundamental virtues of
great citizenship, the exercise of the
fundamental qualities of honesty,
courage and good sense. thank

wore the gray and struggled with
them-that lesson, say, ap-
plies through all of the national life.
And it applies just as~much in form
ing a judgment bewteen class and
class and section and section. We
never can succeed in making this
country what it can and shall be
made until we work together, not
primarily as Northerns or South
erns, Easterns or Westerns nor prl-
marily as employers or employees,
townman or countryman, capitalist
or wage Garner, but primarily as
American citizens. (Cheers.)
As American citizens to whom the
right of brotherly friendship and
comradeship with all other decent
American citizens comes as the
greatest and first of all privileges,
In the endless battle civic right, civic
decency, which must go on in time
of peace, we need good laws, we need
an honest and upright administra-
ton of law. (Cheers.) But we need
a fundamental prerequisite for good
government, high average standard
of citizenship in the men who make
these laws, and stand back of them.
(Cheers.) The best law by itself
won't bring good citizenship; bad
law will do incalculable harm.
No greater damage can be done to
any community than mal-adminis-
tration of the law; bad law, or law
badly administered can do great
harm and often most harm to those
who think that it is to their interest
to have the law provided, or to have
it put upon the statute book. Bad
laws can do no harm, good laws can
do a measure of good, but it is the
man behind the law, who by the way
he performs his duties will determine
whether this country is to go up or
down. (Cheers.) The problem of
getting good government is the old
problem of getting good men and
women and citizens of the State.
(Cheers.) And there isn't any pat
ent device for getting good citizen
ship. There are countries with con-
stitutions like ours, with laws not
unlike ours where, nevertheless, the
experiment of free government has
been will nigh a failure because they
do not have the same material upon
which to draw.
We need good citizenship and in
making good citizenship brilliancy
and intellect are good things, but
there is something a thousandfold
more important, and that is charac-
ter. (Cheers.)
Gentlemen, l did not come here to
preach to you, though you may think

simply to give utterapce to the be-
iefs that you and-I have deep down

tues which made up citizenship from

RoosEVELT's AsHEvILLE SPEECH.

Mr.. Chairman and you, my fellow
Americans: (Cheers) It is indeed a
pleasure to have the chance to say
word of greeting to you this morn
in, to speak here in the midst of this
beautiful country of Western North
Carolina, in this beautiful city, in
front of the monument raised to
Senator Vance, (cheers) and to be
addressing people whose forefathers
have borne a distinguished part in
every great civic or military event
through which this country has gone.
1t is not far from here, as we meas
ure distance in America, that the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde-
pendence was formulated. (Cheers.)
The gentleman who introduced me
spoke of the great deeds of the men
who, in the Revolutionary War, fol-
lowed Marion and MacDoweu. My
forefathers fought under Marion.
(Cheers.) Ny forefathers fought in
the , Georgia and South Carolina
troops what battled throughout the
dark days when CORVALLIS and the
Red Dragons of Tarleton overran
the Southern States. They were
present at Kings Mountain, at Cow
pens and they saw the final triumph
when the men in blue and buff, who
followed Greene out of defeat, wrest-
ed victory, and when at last the flag
of the thirteen United States which
had been the thirteen original colo
nies waved without a rival along the
seacoast and along the foothills and
the mountains.
1t has been a great and a peculiar
pleasure to be greeted to-day by the
men who served in the Confederate
Army. (Cheers.) Yesterday and to-
day have Travelled through a region
which sent it's sons, some to wear the
blue and some to wear the gray, all
. who served with courage and saw the
light as it was given to each to see
the light. prolonged cheers.) The
day before yesterday I went over the
battlefelds of Chickamauga and
Chattanooga, over that space of ter
ritory which saw for two months one
of the gigantic struggles of the Civil
War-that territory part of which is
in Tennessee and part in my moth
er's State, Georgia; and I feel that
the man would be but a poor Amer
lean who did not come back filled
with valor from the scenes that wit
messed those days of honor upon
Americas soil. (Cheers9
1t is a good thing for an American
President to have the chance to trav-
el through different sections of the
country in order that he may realize
how trivial are the points of unlike
ness, and how essential are
the points of likeness. (Cheers.) A
good American is a good American.

of my finger whether he comes from
the North or the South, or the East
or the West, if he is a straight and
