President Roosevelt, who, in his adj
dress, after reviewing briefly the his
tory of the acquisition this nation
of the Louisiana territory and refer
ring to the expansion of the nation

''The history Of the land COM
prised within the limits of the pur-
chasesis an epitome of the entire his
tory of our people. Within these
limits we have gradually built up
state after state, until now they
many times over surpass in wealth,
in population, and in many-sided de-
ve1opment the original 10 states, as
they were when their delegates met
in the continental congress.

courage and hardihood are indis-

Virtues Ever Needed.
''The old pioneer days are gone,
with their roughness and their hard
ships, their Incredible toll and their
wild, half-savage romance. But the
need for the pioneer virtues remains
the same as ever. The peculiar from
tier conditions have vanished; but
the manliness and stalwart hardi-
hood of the frontiersmen can be
given even freer scope under the
conditions surrounding the complex
industrialism Of the present day. In
this great region acquired for our
people under the presidency of JEFF
ferson, this region stretching from
the gulf to the Canadian border,
from the Mississippi to the Rockies,
the material and social progress has
been so vast that alike for veal and
for woe it's people now share the OPP
portunities and bear the burdens
common to the entire civilized world.
=. h. 80, Mighty Qualities.
.The old days were great because
the men who lived in them had
mighty qualities; and we must make
the new days great by showing these
same qualities. We must insist upon
courage and resolution, upon hardi-
hood, tenacity and fertility in re-
source; we must insist upon the
strong, virile virtues; and we must
insist no less upon the virtues OF self
restraint, self-mastery, regard for
the rights of others; we must show
our adherence of cruelty, brutality
and corruption in public and private
life alike

.'The impressiveness Of this occa-
sion is greatly enhanced by reason
of an atmosphere of prophecy's full
fillment which surrounds it. The
thought is in our minds that we are
amid awe-inspiring surroundings,
where we may see and feel things
foretold century ago. We are here
in recognition of the one hundredth
anniversary of an event which
doubled the area Of the young Amer
lean nation and dedicated new and
wide domain to American progress
and achievement.
Prophecy FULFILLED.
The treaty whose completion we
to-day commemorate was itself q
prophecy Of our youthful nations
mighty growth and development. At
it's birth prophets in waiting joyous
" foretold the happiness which its
future promised. Our prophets do
not live forever. They are not here
to see how stipend lousy the growth
and development Of the American ma
