the Chief of the
Nation.

REDLANDS, Cal, May S.-Presi'
dent Roosevelt was formally welcomed
to California yesterday before a crowd
estimated at 10000 The presidents
special train left Barstow at $50 a. m
and arrived at noon, exactly on time.
In front of the Hotel Casaloma was
packed a mass of humanity that
| stretched for two blocks east and west
The enthusiasm displayed must have
reminded the guest in whose honor
the demonstration had been planned
that Californias hospitality really
was what he cared it to be. At the
east side of the grounds Company G,
| California national guard, was sta
toned, uniformed in blue, with cam
paign hats, leggings and guns. The
! New York society was at the south,
and along the west were formed the
Y. NJ G. A. cadets in uniform.
Thousands gathered in the streets.
On the corner opposite the balcony
from which the president spoke 1,500
school children were seated on grand
stand. AS the president approached
each of the children waved a flag, and
then their young voices were often
raised in cheers. They also sang the
national airs. President Roosevelt was
presented to Governor Pardee and
Lieutenant Governor Anderson. The
party then took their places on the
balcony, where all the members of the
| legislative committee, ladies and the
local committeeman were seated. Just
below the balcony were ranged the
Grand Army veterans, while near by
We're "Teddy's Terrors" uniformed
Mayor Fowler introduced Governor
Pardee, who in brief address well
coined the president to California. As
semblyman G. T. Johnson then deliv-
cred an address of welcome in behalf
of tN, state legislature. The great
throng cheered itself hoarse when the
president arose to deliver his address.
1t was several minutes before he could
proceed. He said in part
81 am glad indeed to have the chance
to visit this wonderful and beautiful
state, but l did not have to come to
know you or like you, for 1 know what
the sons and daughters of the state
have done If l did not appreciate
their achievements | would indeed be
poor American.
1.-The young men must be impressed
with the idea that whatever we have
of SOIL climate or conditions it must be
the man who does the most toward
making a states or nations progress
and greatness. | congratulate you ON
your country, your oranges, your cities,
your ranches, your industry and agri-
cultural development and, above all,
on the quality of your citizenship.
"Of all who are here to greet me
prize most the presence of these men
who fought in the great war turning
toward the Grand Army veterans).
Two years ago you welcomed here
your comrade and my chief, the late
President Mckinley.
"He did his part in war as in peace,
and if it had not been for the efforts
that you and he put forth we would
have had neither an American coun-
try nor an American president today.
In war it is necessary to have arms
and accouterment but the funda-
mental necessity is to have men. You
sought for liberty under the law, not
| license. You fought for that freedom
that makes every man free. Next l
greet the future The sight of these
children convince me of the truth of a
statement just made to me by Govern
or Pardee when he said that in Cali
fornia there is no danger of race sui
eide. You have done well in raising
oranges, and l believe you have done
better raising children. Children, l
have just one word for you. and it will
apply to the older people as we'll 1t
/ is this
"When you play play hard, and
when you work don't play at all.
That's common sense for all of you.
What strikes me most of-@ll on this
| trip is that good Americans are good
Americans from one end of the land to
the other
Immediately after the close of his
speech President Roosevelt was es-
corted to the dining room of his party,
the legislative party and the local re-
ception committee. Governor Pardee
sat on the presidents right and Mayor
Fowler on the left. The affair was in
| formal, and there We're no addresses.
Half an hour later the presidential
party, the governor and other guests
again entered the carriages and were
driven over the city. The party left
here at o'clock for San Bernandino,
where a short stop was made. The
night stopping place was Riverside.
