from our dealings with any Of the social
and Industrial problems which arise
from time TO time II Is the quality OF
hysterics-hysterla. Danish brutality
ency. greed. hatred--bpnish them all,
and Danish with them all forms Of emo
tlonal hysteria, We need coolheaded,
sane common sense In dealing with the
problems that confront the nation Just
as we need It in dealing each with the
problems that confront him or her In
his or her own household.
MORAL OF CIVIL WAR.
80 that we need to draw a lesson
from the conduct OF the men Of the CiVll
war In conducting our affairs OF peace.
We need also TO draw moral from
their conduct as to how to handle our
selves In the great work of the world
which, whether we wish 1t or not, we
must undertake. Mind you, a nation
like ours can't play d small part A
small people, weak people, a people
With limited territory o. little wealth
and few inhabitants might play small
part with dignity and propriety-a big
nation like ours can't We must play
big part We can play 1t badly or
play II well--but play Il we have got to,
aud as we have 20, ! know too wen
the spirit Of my countrymen TO hesi-
tate as 70 tho way In which Il shall
be played.
Now, in the Ciyil war. the men who
did the business did not boast Of more
than they could make good They did
not say what they could not do. The
people who called con TO Richmond,
and demanded that within three weeks
they should go to Richmond were not
the people with the rifles at the front,
they were the people behind Yes, and
the men in front knew they had quite
a Job on their hands; they knew that
II would take some time, and were bent
on seeing Il through, and the same peo-
pie who would at one moment shrek
for an immediate victory triumph
at Richmond, two weeks atterWard,
when perhaps that victory had occur
red, would say that the war was a fail
ure. After It had ended they were In
error. II did not end for three years
and a half afterward, and then II end
ed the other way.
cat this time there was quite a COM
motion among the people on the west
side of the speakers stand, and the
people in front began to arise and look
around, and the president said: IF
you viii all sit doWn-you can't see
anything by standing up, and | can't.
| Now sit dOwn--you cant do yourselves
any good by standing up, and you an
noy other people, II is all over, what
| ever It was. and / haven't the vaguest
| idea Of what II was.
Now, this lnterlude having passed
now IN dealing with foreign affairs, |
want our people 20 copy the attitude Of
| the men who did not brag and did fight
| In the Civil war. No good comes Of
| speaking insultngly of other nations.
| on the contrary 1t Is the mark Of a
| weak man TO buster always. / used to
! live in the COW country myself. and we
| had a proverb there. which ran: Don't
| draw unless you mean TO shoot. Now,
| that is pretty good sense for a nation
as well as for an individual Don't
make claims that we are not prepared
to back up; don't talk loosely or loudly
| as 20 what we win do to other nations
| In q way that will cause them to feel
! that we are acting I'm an insulting and
| aggressive way. Treat them with cour-
! tesy-with absolute couTtesy-8nd that
| having been done, make up our minds
| what the interests and the honor Of
| America require stake It, and make it
good when staked,
MONROE DOCTRINE.
81 believe In the Monroe doctrine with
all my heart and soul, and ] intend TO
| see that II Is made good belieye that
our interests IN the Pacific are such
| that we need always 10 be ready 10 pro-
| tect them Now, you can make good
| the Monroe doctrine; you can protect
our interests In the Pacific; you can
protect them In the Atlantic; you can
keep this nation in the position she has
attained only by going on with the
| building up Of the United States navy.
| When | appeal for the navy / appeal
| for something which should meet q
| response in every American heart, for
| the navy Is as much the concern OF
| the man who lives in the Mississippi
| valley or beside the Rocky Mountins as
| for the man who lives on the coast ~
either ocean, because a victory for the
navy Is a victory for each and all Of
us; a defeat would cause each Of us 10
hang HIS head. No man. therefore.
stands as more typloally representative
| Of the interests OF all our people than
the man whose duty It Is to see to tn
building Of the navy OF the United
States as far as Congress gives him
| that power, and no man Of recent years
who has held the position OF secretary
Of the navy has done more TO render u
efficient than the man | am about 20 in

Moody-who will now speak TO you"
Secretary Moody then talked for q
few moments and was followed by
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson.
AT ECHO.
After the address the president was
driven 10 the depot where he boarded
the train FOR Wyoming Senator ID. g.
| Clark Of Wyoming was with the party
by this time. En- route to Evanston and
| Rawlns a stop for few minutes was
made az Echo and the president made
a few remarks to the crowd that had
assembled TO do him honor. In the
course of his address he said
1T is a very great pleasure TO meet
all Of you today, and as ! am going
| home 20 my own family, | want TO pay
a special word OF greeting TO the men
| and women who came here with babies
| In their arms | have enjoyed 20 the
full my trip through Utah today. | am
struck wherever / come into your state
| with your prosperity. and with the ev-
| idence that Il has been won primarily
because OF the character Of your men
and women,
Utah was not country TO which
| people afraid TO work ever have come.
