AMERICANISM IS
PRESIDENTS PLEA
Roosevelt Speaks at Notable
Dinner Of Friendly Sons Of
ST. Patrick.

New York, March 1s.-Speaking last
night at the l2lst annual dinner OF the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, President
Roosevelt paid tribute to the lrishmen 8
part in Americas development, and
then made this plea:
My fellow countrymen, I have spoken
tonight especially of what has been done
for this nation Of ours by it's sons of
Irish blood. But after all, in speaking
to you or any other body OF my fellow
citizens, no matter from what old-world
country they themselves or their FORE
fathers may have come, the great thing
to remember is that we are all of us
Americans. Let us keep our pride In the
stocks from which we have sprung; but
let US show that pride, not by holding
aloof one from another, least of all by
preserving the old-world jealousies and
bitternesses, but by joining in spirit
of generous rivalry to see which can do
most for our great common country.
Americanism is not matter Of creed,
or birthplace, or descent. That man is
tho best American who has In him the
American spirit, the American soul. Such
a man fears not the strong and harms
not the weak. He scorns what is base
| or cruel or dishonest. He looks beyond
| the accidents of occupation or social con-
ditions and halls each Of his fellow citi-
zens as his brother, asking nothing save
| that each shall treat the other on his
worth as a man. and that they shall join
together to do all that in them lies for
the uplifting of this mighty and vigorous
people.
! Fate Of the Century.
| In our veins runs the blood of many
an old-world nation. We are kin to each
with none. Our policy should be one OF
cordial friendship for all: and yet we
should keep ever before our eyes the fact
i that we are ourselves a separate people
with our own ideals and standards, and
destined. whether for better or for worse
| to work out a wholly new national type
The fate of the twentieth century will
in no small degree depend upon the quail
! ity of citizenship developed on this con.
tinent Surely such a thought must thrill
us with the resolute purpose so to bea,
| ourselves that the name America shall
stand as the symbol Of just, generous
and fearless dealing with all men and al
nations. Let us be true to ourselves, fu
we then cannot be false to any man.
Soon after the conclusion of his ad
dress, President Roosevelt left for the
banquet Of the Sons Of the American
Revolution at the Hotel Astor.

In his address, President Roosevelt
dwolt particularly upon increasing thu
powers Of the navy.
