the lessons taught by his undaunted reso-
luton. his infiexible grasp OF lofty possi-
bilities, and his unfiinching, unyielding
determination In following the path he
had marked out
But, Mr.. Ambassador, In accepting the
statue given us to-day through you from
the German emperor accept It not
merely because II Is the statue OF a
mighty and terrible soldier. but accept
II as a symbol OF the ties OF friendship
and good will which trust as the years
go on will bind ever closer together the
American and the German peoples. There
is kinship of blood between the two ma
tions. We OF the United States are of
mixed stock. In our veins runs the blood
of almost all the peoples of middle. north
ern and western Europe. We already
have history OF which We feel that we
have the right to be legitimately proud,
and yet our nationality is still in the
formative period. Nearly three centuries
have elapsed since the landing of the
English at jamestown marked the be-
ginning of what has since grown into the
United States,
Among the soldiers from abroad who
came to aid us one of the most prominent
was the German, Steuben. Muhlenberg
was the first speaker of the house of
and the battle which In
the revolution saved the valley Of the
Mohawk to the American cause was
fought under the lead of the German.
Herkimer. AS all the different races
The Lexington advertiser., 1904-11-24

here tend rapidly to fuse together, 1t is
rarely possible after one or two gener-
ations to draw a sharp line between the
various elements; but there Is no stu
dent of our national conditions who has
failed to appreciate what an invaluable
element in our composite stock the Ger
man is.
Each nation has its allotted tasks TO
do; each nation has its peculiar Difficult
ties to encounter; and as the peoples of
the world tend to become more closely
knit together alike for good and for evil,
1t becomes ever more important to all
that each should prosper; for the pros
perity Of one Is normally not q sign of
menace, but sign of hope for the rest.
Here on this continent where 1t Is abso-
lutely essential that the different peoples
coming to our shores should not remain
separate, but should fuse into one, our
unceasing effort is to strive to keep and
profit by the good that each race brings
to our shores, and at the same time to
do away with all racial and religious ami
mosities among the various stocks. In
both efforts We have met with an aston
ishing measure of success. AS the years
go by it becomes not harder but easier
to live in peace and good will among our
selves; and 1 firmly believe that 1t will
also become not harder, but easier, TO
dwell in peace and friendship with the
other nations Of the earth.
AS such is the case 1t is natural that
we should have peculiar feeling of
nearness to each Of many peoples across
the water We most earnestly wish not
only to keep unbroken our friendship for
each, but so far as We can without CIV
ing offense by an appearance of med
ding, to seek to bring about better un-
derstanding and broader spirit of fair
dealing and federation among all nations.
In closing let me thank you and through
you the German emperor and the Ger
man people for this statue which l ac-
cept in the name of the American peo-
pie; people claiming blood kinship with
your own; a pepole owing much to Ger
many; a people which, though with ma
tional history far shorter than that Of
your people, nevertheless, like your peo-
Pile, is confident in the majesty of its
future. l most earnestly pray that in the
coming years these two great nations
shall move on toward their several desti-
nies knit together by ties Of the heartiest
friendship and good will.

ROOT PLEADS FOR cocKRELL.
souri, Republicans to REFLECT
the Present senator.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Ex-Secretary
Root arrived yesterday from New York
to attend the ceremonies OF the unveil-
Ing of the statue Of Frederick the
Great. Speaking of the recent election
Mr.. Root paid a tribute to Senator
Cockrell, of Missouri.
Il suppose" he said, that the re-
publican legislature of Missouri Is
bound to send a republican to the
United States senate, but would be
pleased if partisanship could be for
gotten long enough to retain in the
public service man who is as deserv-
ing as Senator Cockrell. His long ex-
perience. his ability, his industry and
attention to business, his high sense
of public duty and his standing as a
citizen makes him an invaluable pub
lie official. No man will be greater
loss to the public service than Senator
Cockrell. AS republican opposed to
him in politics can say that sin
cerely regret that the government is
to lose a man like Senator Cockrell."

ENEMIES OF THE SALOON.
National "Anti" League at CoIum b us
Declares Liquor should he Treat
ed as Crime.

Columbus, O., Nov. 19-The Anti
Saloon league decided to hold its next
meeting at Indianapolis, Ind, Novem-
ber %, 1905.
The resolutions adopted declare that
the "liquor traffic must be regarded
and dealt with as a crime" call upon
congress to make prohibition a condi-
ton of statehood for the Indian terri
tory and favor the passage Of the So
called Hepburn and Dolliver bill ''in
such form as shall effectively secure
to the states power to control the
liquor traffic within their own boun-
darles from without under the guise
of interstate commerce"
The army canteen is condemned by
the resolutions, which suggest that
the officers of the army cooperate to
establish clubs wherein the men may
have all the advantages of the can
teen, minus the liquors.

DRUNKEN RUSSIAN sAILoRs.
Beat, erulse and Murder Citizens Of
the Island Of Crete.

Canea, Island OF Crete, Nov. a.
Disgraceful scenes transpired yester.
day, when several groups of officers
and men of the vessels belonging to
the Baltic feet, in this port, left va
rious saloons and paraded the streets.
The Russians were evidently heay-
lily intoxicated. Brandishing their
swords and other weapons, they made
q wild rush at the peaceable passerby.
At least five Of these were murdered
by the drunken Russians, many 9TH
ers wounded and large number
cuffed and beaten. The brawls con-
tinued late into the night.
Under cover of darkness the drunk
en- sailors grew wilder still and their
shouts and loud talk scared most peo.
pie into their houses, The streets
which the Russians chose to make
their stamping grounds became prac-
tically deserted by the residents. 1t
is reported that at least. forty Of the
Russian sailors have SO far deserted.
Evidence Of unimpeachaDie character
exists showing that the discipline on
board the Russian ships is unparal.

which 1t typihes for the people of this re-
public both on the part of the emperor
and on the part of the German people.
| accept it not merely as the statue of
one of the half dozen greatest soldiers
Of all time, and therefore peculiarly ap-
propriate for placing in this war col
leGe, but l accept 1t as the statue of
a great man, whose life was devoted to
the service of a great people, and whose
deeds fastened the approach of the day
when a united Germany should spring
into being.
AS a soldier Frederick the Great ranks
in that very, very small group which in
cludes Alexander. Caesar and Hannibal
in antiquity, and Napoleon, and possibly
Gustavus Adolphus, in modern times.
He belonged to the ancient and illustri-
Gus house Of Hohenzollerr, which, after
playing strong and virile part in the
middle ages. and after producing some
men, like the great eleCtor, who were
among the most famous princes of their
time, founded the royal house of Prussia
two centuries ago, and at last in our
own day established the mighty German
empire as among the foremost of world
powers. We receive this gift now at the
hands of the present emperor, himself a
man who has markedly added to the
luster of his great house and his great
nation, a man who has devoted his life to
the welfare of his people, and who, while
keeping ever ready to defend the rights of
that people, has also made 1t evident in
emphatic fashion that he and they desire
peace and friendship with the other ma
tions of the earth.
1t Is not my purpose here to discuss
at length the career of the mighty king
and mighty general whose statue we have
just received In all history no other
great commander save only Hannibal
fought so long against such terrible odds,
and while Hannibal finally failed, Fred
erick finally triumphed.
Not only must the military scholar al
ways turn to the career of Frederick the
Great for lessons in strategy and tao
tics; not only must the military admin
istrator always turn to his career for
lessons In organizing success; not only
will the lover of heroism read the tales
Of his mighty feats as long as mankind
cares for heroic deeds; but even those
who are not attracted by the valor of the
soldier must yet. for the sake Of the
greatness Of the man. ponder and admire

his soldiers, calls them granite cliffs, Z"

feel only pity" and then wires the
cZar that Port Arthur is to be his
tomb. Whether the general is correct
as to the location of his tomb it is yet
too early to say, but in any event Port
Arthur will be a monument to per-
