Delivers Memorial Day Address
on Battlefield of
Gettysburg.
POINTS DUTY OF A PEOPLE

Citizens TO Build Stable
y tiOn.

Gettysburg, Pa. May 3O.-President
Roosevelt and party reached the his
taric battle-ground at $50 today.
When the train stopped the presiden-
tial party entered carriages and start
ed on a drive over the battlefield.
This afternoon at the memorial ex-
ercises the president was the chief
speaker. In the course of his remarks
he said:
He is but a poor American who.
looking at this field, does not feel
within himself deeper reverence for
the nations past and higher purpose
to make the nations future rise level
to her past. Here fought the chosen
sons of the north and the south. the
east and the west. The armies which
on this field contended for the mas
terry were veteran armies, hardened
by long campaigning and desperate
fighting into such instruments of war
as no other nation then possessed.
The severity of the fighting is attest
ed by the proportionate lOss-a loss
unrivaled in any battle of similar size
since the close of the Napoleonic
struggles; loss which in certain reg
iments was from threefourths to
four-tifths of the men engaged. Every
spot on this field has its own associa-
tions of soldierly duty nobly done, of
supreme Self-Sacrifice freely rendered.
The names of the chiefs who served in
the two armies form a long honor
roll; and the enlisted men were
worthy, and even more than worthy.
of those who led them. Every acre of
this ground has its own associations.
We see where the fight thundered
through and around the village of
Gettysburg; where the artillery form
ed on the ridges; where the cavalry
fought; where the hills were attacked
and defended; and where. finally, the
great charge surged up the slope only
to break on the summit in the bloody
spray of gallant failure.
Must be Worthy of Freedom.
Freedom is not a gift which can be
enjoyed save by those who show them
selves worthy of it. In this world no
privilege can be permanently appro-
priated by men who have not the pow
er and the will successfully to assume
JHG res SpOHSlDlllIleS OF using II arlRnU.
In his recent admirable little volume
on freedom and responsibility in dem
ocratic government. President Hadley
of Yale has pointed out that the free
dom which is worth anything is the
freedom which means self-govern-
ment and not anarchy. Freedom thus
is constructive force.
which enables an intelligent and good
man to do better things than he could
do without it; which is in its essence
the substitution of seIf-restraint for
external restraint-the substitution
of a form of restraint which pro-
notes progress for the form which
retards it. This is the right view of
freedom; but it can only be taken if
there is a full recognition of the close
connection between liberty and re-
sponsibility in every domain of human
thought. 1t was essentially the view
taken by Abraham Lincoln, and by

all those who. when the civil war
broke out, realized that in a self
governing democracy those who de-
sired to be considered fit TO enjoy
liberty must show that they knew
how to use it with moderation and
justice in peace, and how to fight for
it when it is jeoparded by malice
domestic or foreign levy.
We can make and keep this coun-
try worthy of the men who gave their
lives to save it, only on condition that
the average man among us on the
whole does his duty bravely, Loyalty,
and with common sense, in whatever
position life allots to him. National
greatness is of slow growth. 1t can
not be forced and yet be stable and
enduring: for it is based fundamental
ly upon national character, and ma
tional character is stamped deep in "A
people by the lives of many genera
tions. The men who went into the
army had TO submit TO discipline, had
TO submit to restraint through the
government of the leaders they had
chosen. as the price of winning. So
we. the people, can preserve our lib
erty and our greatness in time of
peace only by ourselves exercising
the virtues of honesty, of self-re-
straint. and of fair dealing between
man and man.
Learn From FOFefathers
All are at one now. the sons of
those who wore the blue and the sons
of those who wore the gray, and all
can unite in paying respect to the
memory of those who fell. each Of
them giving his life for his duty as he
saw IT.; and all should be at one in
learning from the deaths of those
men how to live usefully while the
times call for the performance of the
countless necessary duties of every
day life. and how to hold ourselves
ready 10 die nobly should the nation
ever again demand of her sons the ul-
innate proof of loyalty.
