 Newbury, N. H., Aug. 2S.-President Roosevelt tonight is the guest of Hon. John Hay, secretary of state, whose summer home is located q few miles from here along the shores of Lake Sunapee. The president delivered brief address to the towns people, in which he thanked the people for their greeting. He then entered Secretary Hays launch ''Nomad'' and steamed away to The Fells.
 New Hampsnire's arms were open to- day in readiness to receive the presi- dent. Long before he was awake a committee representing the governor boarded the train. The welcome they extended to him on behalf of the state was magnified later in the day in the smaller towns through which the train passed, and at Nashua, Manchester The Weirs and Concord, although the day was replete with the miscarriage of arrangements. At The Weirs, where the Grand Army reunion was held, of whom there were about SO,OOO, in the excess of their desire to accord the president fitting reception, came near causing crush which might have re- suited disastrously. As it was the pres ident was for time in the midst of howdling surging mss, and was all but carried off his feet. So inadequate were the police arrangements that the crowd had entire control of the situation and much relief was experienced when the president, after reviewing the veterans, was escorted into the hotel for lunch con. And here again the carefully laid plans for his entertainment went astray. Luncheon was finally served through the gallantry of the governors staff, who turned in and acted as wait CTS. The presidents speech at the park, where the veterans were gathered, was most favorably received. He stood on a table at the extreme end of the platform and his athletic figure made him strikingly conspicuous. As in the tNp DarN IsN ,ie1,1 ,te hearers to remain still and not to shove. A great crush occurred at Concord as the train was pulling out, and for a time it was feared people would be hurt.
 At. Concord the president among other things said:
 'The great problem that we should set before us is to keep prosperity, to render its advantages less unequal, to to to secure 8 greater equality of its benefits, but above all never under any circumstances to lend ourselves to the leadership of any who appeal to the baser passions of mankind. Now in your state, in your great manufactur- ing centers, the reason that they are built up is because of the capital that has come there, mainly in corporate form. If you never had the big cap- tains of industry who worked as indi- viduals or who worked in combination aa corporations your would never have had that prosperity, you would not have had the material up-building in this community.
 Evils have come through our very in Jro inc evil let us be eceedingly careful not to war against the. prosperity. Now it would be perfectly possible at any time to make it unpleasant for the trusts perfectly possible to prevent big corpo- rations from making money. They did not make any money in 1S93-and neith- CT did any one else. Let us face the fact that there are evils. It is foolish to blink at those evils. Let us set our- selves but temperate and with sanity to strive to find out what the evils are and to remedy them. If any man tells you that he can advance a specific by which all the evils of the body polite will be madeato disappear, distrust him, for if he is honest he knows not what he says Mankind has moved slowly up through the ages, stumbling, halt ing, rarely by leaps and bounds, gener- ally by slow and painful progression. The millennium is good way off yet, and we are going to succeed now, if, as I believe we shall, succeed, by showng exactly the qualities which our fathers showed when in great crises they suc- ceeded. In civil life as it is in military life The men who fought in the great civil war under Grant and Sherman wore different uniforms from the conti- nentals who followed Washington, were armed with different weapons and were drilled ith different tactics, but the spir- it of the man himself as the same. (Ap- plause)."
 At Nashua the president said: We are living in an era of great prosperity. Your city has had it's full share of that prosperity, but prosperity by itself nev- CT made any man happy. You are not going to be happy without it. but you are not going to be happy if you do not have something else besides. Prosper ity must be the basis. The material well-being must be the foundation, but on it you have to rear superstructure of kindly brotherhood, all striving for decency in public and private life, or but scant will be the good of prosperity. More than that. It is possible by gov- ernment to create conditions under which men can become prosperous, and if is unfortunately easy enough by bad
