Il want to thank you for what you have
done and for the very kind and graceful
way in which you have greeted me this
morning (applause) and I cannot think Of
anything auguring better for the country
than is just a typical old American town
as this to have the school children drawn
up before a monument like that (ponting
Salmon p. Chase, and to have them look
toward you, you the men Of the great civil
war, you who proved your truth by your
endeavor and to see in you example of what
they are to be when they grow UP. {Ap-
plause.) 1 believe in reaching, but l be-
lieve in practice a good deal more (ap-
plause) and 1t has been given to you, my
friends of the great civil war, to practice
in the four years when the life of the
republic was at stake. the virtues which
We earnestly ask children shall
learn,and you practiced the virtues not-only
that count in war, buyt that count in
peace.
OF course there are exceptions but ord
inarily the man who is a frst-class soldier
in war has got in him the stu that is go
ing to make out of him a frstclass cti-
zen in time of peace (applause) The men,
who in this beautiful country of yours till
the soil, make their living here and breed
up American citizens, have to show the
same fundamental Righteousness and the
same strong virile virtues that you did in
time of war.
