THE OLD PIONEER DAYS
"The old pioneer days are gone. with
thor roughness and their hardship,
their incredible toll and their Wild half
savage romance But the need for The
pioneer virtues remains the same as
ever The peculiar frontier conditions
have vanished; but the manlinoss and
stalwart hardihood Of the frOntlersmen
can be given even freer scope un0er
the conditions surrounding the complex
lndustrialism Of the present day In
this great region acquired for our peo-
pie under the presidency Of Jefferson,
this region stretching from the gulf TO
the Canadian border, from the Missls-
slppl 10 the Rockies, the material and
social progress has been so vast that
slike for veal and for woe It's people
nOW share the opportunities and bear
tho burdens common 10 the entire civil
wed world The problems before MS are
fundamentally the same east and west
OF the Mississippi, I'm the new states
and IN the Old and exactly the same
qualities are required for their success

A GREAT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
eve meet here today 10 commence
rate great event an event which
marks an era In craftsmanship no less
than In pioneering II is fitting that
we should pay our homage In words,
bur we must In honor make our words
good by deeds We have every right
% take q just pride IN the great deeds
OF our forefathers, but we show our
selves unworthy 70 be their descendants
o. we make what they did an excuse
for our lying supine instead Of an IN
centive to the effort 10 show ourselves
by our acts worthy Of them. In the
administration Of city. state, and ma
ton, IN the management OF our home
life and the conduct Of our business
and social relations. we are bound to
show certain high ard fine qualities of
character under penalty Of seeing the
whole heart Of our civilization eaten
out while the body still lives.
MARVELLOUS MATERIAL PROS
PERITY
1--WE Justly pride ourselves on our
marvellous material prosperity and
such prosperity must exist in order to
establish a foundation upon which a
higher life can be built; but unless
we do In very fact build this higher
life thereon, the material prosperity It,
self viii go for but very little. Now,
iL 1903, In the altered conditions, we
must meet the changed and changing
problems with the spirit shown by the
men who IN 1903 and IN the subsequent
years gained, explored, conquered and
81 tiled this vast territory, then q des-
ort, now filled with thriving and popu-
lCus states
WHY OLD DAYS WERE GREAT
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 cour-
age and resolution. upon hardhood
tenacity, and fertility in resource; we
must insist upon the strong virile vir-
tues; and we must insist no less upon
the virtues of self-restraint, sef-mas-
terry regard for the rights Of others;
we must show our adherence Of cruel
~ brutality and corruption. In public
and in private life alike II we come
short IN any Of these qualities we shall
aoasurably fall and II. az | believe
we surely shall we develop these quail
ties IN the future 10 an even greater
degree than in the past, then IN IN
century now beginning we shall make
OF this republic the freest and most
orderly, the most just and most mighty
ration which has ever come forth from
IN, womb OF time"
