PRESIDENT AT
 GRAND CANYON


 stage, my fellow citizens. when we are to be pardoned if we simply treat any part of our country as something to be skined for two or three years, for the use of the present generation, whether it is forest, the water, the scenery, whatever it is. handle it so that your children's children will get the benefit of it. and handle it that way.
 If irrigation, apply it under cir cnmstanees that will make it of ben eft, not to the speculator, who hopes to get profit out of it for two or three years, but handle it so that it will be of use ot the homemaker, 11 the man who comes to live here. and to have his children stay after him; handle 1t so as to be Of use to him and those who come after him.
 Keep the forests in the same way; preserve the forests by use; preserve them for the ranchman and stockman, for the people Of the territory. for the people of the region round about; preserve them for that use, but use them so that they will not be squan- dered. that they will not be wasted; so that they will be of benefit to the Arizona of 1853 as well as the Arizona of 1903.
 q want to say a word of welcome to the Indians here. In my regiment l had a good many Indians. They were good enough to fight and to die. and they are good enough to have me treat them exactly as square as any white man.
 There are good many problems n connection with them. You have got to save them from corruption, save them from brutality, and l regret 10 say that at times We have to save them from the unregulated eastern philan- fhropist. because in everything we have to remember that although, per haps. the worst quality in which to ap- proach any question is hardness of heart I don't know that this does as much damage as softness of head.
 "AI I ask is a square deal for every man: give him a fair chance. DO not let him wrong any one, and do not let him be worsted. Help him as iar as YOU can without hurting him ln helping him. The only way to help a man in the end is to help him to help l himself.
 aNeyer forget that you have to have two sets of qualities, the set or quai- ities that We include under the names of decency, honesty. morality-thal makes a man a decent husband, good father, a good neighbor, square and fair in his dealings with all men, and | in his dealings with the state; and then furthermore the qualities that have to be shown by every man who IS to do his work well in the world
 Virtue is good, but the virtue that sits at home in its own parlor and talks about how bad the world is, neV- CT did snything yet. and never will
 q want to see the qualities that the men of 's1 to 'e5 had. my comrades.
 Here the President levelled his fore finger at Dick Hartman, and, leaning far forward in the speakers stand asked: Isn't that so. old comrade?
 Bet your life" answered the old veteran.
 50 it is with citizenship, contin ned the President. ''I want to set decency. and then I want to see the virtues, the hardy virtues, the virtues I we speak of when we describe one al not only a good man, tut emphaticaiiI a man.
 q believe in you: I am glad to set you: I wish you well with all my heart. and know your future vii justify all the hopes we have. i (Cheers and applause)
 Interesting incidents. | The two most interesting incidents of the day was the meeting of Dicl Hartman and the nations ruler, ant the latter's speech to MarNa-Ka-Js chief of the Havasupai Indians. Hartman was introduced by the gov ernor, Wilcox and Rynning as civi war veteran, who had shaken handi with every president since Buchanan
 Roosevelt seized both of Dick hands, and ferventiy assured him tha he considered the meeting an honor. | "Mr. President" said Dick, handini the former a photograph of Bisbe' bear, here is a paper bear. but yol
