unable to gain admittance to the
building from q grandstand erected
at the entrance. Following this the
president held a reception to state Of
ficSrs and the legislature in the execu-
tive once.
The president in his speech In front
Of the capitol said he was glad he
came to Wisconsin for the fact that
here the people had put into practice
to q peculiar degree the principle Of
"all men up rather than some down."
Continuing, he said:
Must Combine Two Elements.
1--WE are passing through a period
Of great material prosperity. There
will be- ups and downs in that prosper
ity, but in the long run the stride will
go on II we but prove true to our
selves and to the beliefs of our faith
ers. We must be able to combine in
a proper degree the spirit Of individ-
ualism and the spirit Of cooperation.
Each nan must work for himself. II
he cannot support himself, he will be
but a drag on all mankind, but each
man must work for the common good.
There Is not a a. who at times does
not need to have a helping hand ex-
tended to him and shame on the broth
err who will not extend that helping
hand"
AS the president entered the assem-
bly, chamber, escorted by Governor
Lafollette, he was greeted with en-
thusiastic cheers. Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Davidson introduced him. AS
the president rose to speak he was
greeted with a tumult of applause and
the university yell, the latter feature
causing him to break into a hearty
laugh.
The Brain W. the Muscles.
President Roosevelt said it was a
good idea for students to be brought
into close touch with government at
fairs. Universities must do more
than turn out scholars; they must
turn out men and women. He liked
athletic work in college: but athletics
must not interfere with the develop
ment Of the mental faculties. It was
a good thing to be a good halfback;
but it is a mighty bad thing If, at
forty, all you can, say Of a man is
that he was a good halfback. He ad-
verted to qualities necessary to make
good citizens and said we need
the same qualities to work out our
salvation in peace as were needed to
work out our salvation through war.
The president spoke about Is min.
utes and was loudly cheered as he
concluded.
Accompanied by the governor, he
visited Memorial hall in the capitol
and looked over the war relics, which
included a large collection of union
and confederate flags and the stuffed
body of "Old Abe,'' the famous war
eagle.
He was then escorted to a stand at
the east entrance where, in the face
of a raw east wind, he addressed a
crowd that packed the grounds.
Held a Reception.
At the conclusion of the second
speech the president was taken to
the executive Office, where for 20 min
utes he held a reception for members
of the legislature and state officers.
At 11:15, with the same escort of
soldiers, the president returned to the
special train, which pulled out for Mil
waukee at II o'clock.
