o'clock, but the early hour set for his
departure did not deter the people
from turning out in force and giving
him a hearty send-oif As he drove up
10 the station in an open carriage
accompanied by Senator Plat, the
crowd cheered and the president re-
sponded BY raising his hat. The floral
horseshoe presented to the president

This nation has great problems to face,
problems in its external .olicy, prob

PRESIDENTS SPEECH,
I'VE are passing through a period OF
great material prosperity and such a
period Is as sure as diversity itself TO
bring mutterlngs OF discomfort AT a
time when most men prosper somewhat
It always happens that a few men
prosper greatly and It is as true now as
It was when the tower Of Sloan fell
upon all who were under 1t, that good
fortune does not come only to the just
nor bad fortune only 20 the unjust
when the weather Is good for crops II
Is also good for weeds. Moreover, not
only do the wicked flourish when the
umes are such that most men flourish,
OUT what Is worse, the spirit OF envy
and Jealousy and hatred springs up IN
me breasts Of those who, though they
may be doing fairly well themselves
yel see others, who are no more deserv-
ing doing far better.
EFFECT OF WISE LAWS.
Wise laws and fearless and upright
administration Of the laws can give
we opportunity for such prosperity as
mat We see about us. But this is all
.nai they can DO. When the conditions
nave been created which make prosper
IVY possblel then each individual man
must achieve II for himself. by his own

esolute purpose III when people wax
