ence on the other. Our aim must be
to deal Justice to each man; no more
and no less. This purpose must find
its expression and support not merely

our social attitude.
Rich man and poor man must
alike feel that on the one hand they
are protected by law and that on the
other hand they are responsible to
the law; for each is entitled to be
fairly dealt with by his neighbor and
by the State; and if we as citizens
OF this nation are true to ourselves
and to the traditions of our fore
fathers such fair measure of Justice
shall always be death to each man:
so that as far as we can bring it about
each shall receive his dues. each shall
be given the chance to show the
stuff there is in him. shall be secured
against wrong, and in turn prevented
from wronging others. More than this

unexpected length of the speech in
Capitol Square. Calculations had
been made very closely, but the Presi.
dent made 4 number of interpretations
in his printed address and was further
interrupted b.. the frequent applause,
so instead of the luncheon beginning
promptly at o'clock the party did not
sit down until after three.
Every seat was occupied and the
service was smooth and swift, SO that
the entire menu was brought in and
disposed of by AIS. The hall was
beautifully decorated and an excel
lent band played music as the banquet
