Not an Easy Greed to Preach.
This Is not soft and easy creed to
preach. 1t is a creed willingly learned only
by men and women who. together with the
softer virtues, possess also the stronger;
who can do, and dare, and die at need, but
who while life lasts will never finch from
their allotted task. You farmers, and wage
workers, and business men of this great
state, of this mighty and wonderful nation.
are gathered together today, proud of your
state and still prouder of your nation. be-
cause your forefathers and predecessors
have lived up to just this creed. You have

heritance and you will have an even
greater inheritance to your children and
your children's children, provided only that
you practice alike in your private and your
public lives the strong virtues that have
given us as a people greatness In the past.
1t is not enough to be well meaning and
kindly, but weak; neither is it enough to
be strong, unless morality and decency go
hand in hand with strength We must pos
sess the qualities which make us do our
duty In our homes and among our neigh
bors. and in addition we must possess the
qualities which are Indispensable to the
makeup of every great and maSterful ma
tion-the qualities of courage and hardi-
hood, of individual initiative and yet of
power to combine for a common end, and
above ALL the resolute determination to
permit no man and no set of men to sunder
one from the other by lines of caste or
creed or section. We must act upon the mot
to Of all for each and each for all. there
amental truth that In republic such as
ours the only safety Is to stand neither for
nor against any man because he is rich or
because he is poor, because he is engaged
In one occupation or another, because he
works with his brains or because he works
with his hands. We must treat each man
on his worth and merits as a man. We
must see that each is given a square deal,
because he is entitled to no more and should
receive no less. Finally we must keep ever
In mind that a republic such as ours can
exist only In virtue of the orderly liberty
which comes through the equal domination
of the law over all men alike, and through
Its administration in such resolute and
fearless fashion as shall teach all that no
man Is above 1t and no man below it.
