PRESIDENT SREN
DARK PROBLEMS
Tells New Hampshire VET
eraDS Of Solution
Surrounded by Crowd Which All
But Carried Him OF His Feet.
Police POWerIOSS

Newbury N. H., Aug. 29.-President
Roosevelt last night was the guest of
Secretary of State Hay, whose summer
home is situated few miles from here
along the shores of Lake Sunapee The
secretary and his daughter met the
president upon his arrival and joined
with the assemblage in extending him
a hearty welcome.
New Hampshire's arms were open
yesterday in readiness to receive the
president. 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 magnifed 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, the
people, in the excess of their desire to
accord the president fitting reception.
came near causing a crush which might
have resulted disastrously. AS it was,
the president was for a time in the
midst of a holwing, surging mass, and
was all but carried off his feet. So
inadequate was the police arrange
ments that the crowd had entire con-
troll of the situation, and much relief
was expressed when the president, af-
ter reviewing the veterans, was escort
cd into the hotel for luncheon. Here
again the carefully laid plans for his
entertainment went astray, luncheon
being finally served through the gal
lantry Of the governors staff, who all
turned in and acted as walters.
The presidents speech at the park,
where the veterans were gathered, was
most fayorably received.
Among other things the president
said: ANY American VINO has proper
sense of the relative proportion Of
things must realize that to the men
who fought for the Union in the dark
days of the Civil War there is owing
a greater debt of gratitude than to any
others. We are all loyal Americans
now-north, south, east and west-all
alike jealous of the nations honor and
welfare, proud OF the nations past and
resolute that her future shall stand
even higher than her past.
above all, we need to learn Alright
and to apply the great lesson Of broth
erhood which you taught and practiced
in the four grim years that began with
Sumpter and ended with Appomattox.
In the old simple America of our fore
fathers there was comparative freedom
from certain dangers to which the
country as a whole is now necessarily
: exposed. The growth of great cities
and of individual and corporate for
tunes-the tendency in great cities to
divide men into groups and classes
naturally diminishes the realization Of
that essential underlying brotherhood
which ought to be deep in the heart Of
every American. Looking into the mists
Of the future we see dark problems
looming before us. We can solve those
problems Alright only if we keep con-
ttantly in mind that each must work
for all and all for each In cther words.
we need to feel in our being the sense
of brotherhood.

been cruelty maligned even by some
who should have known better. The
temptation to retaliate for the fearful
cruelties of a savage foe is very great,
and now and then it has been yielded
to. There have been a few and only a
few such instances in the Philippines,
and punishment has been meted out
with unflinching justice to the Offend
ers. As time goes by and we get our
sense Of the proper proportion Of things
these instances will be forgotten, but
there will remain for all time new
pages on the honor roll of our history
because of what has been done for
i the nation in the Philippines.
I'VE feel that we have right to de-
mand the support of all good citizens
for the army in the Philippines be-
cause of what it has done, and we ask
It also for the civil officers Of the gov
eminent. who with faithful toll and
wisdom are building a structure of or
derly liberty on the ground made ready
for them by the soldierly courage of
the troops wearing the American uni
