Square Deal for All.
So IL is in civil life. The government
was formed with as it's basic Idea the
principle of treating each man on his worth
as a,man, paying no heed as to Whether ne
was rich or poor, no heed to his creed
or his social standing, but only to the way
in which he performed his duty TO himself,
to his neighbor, TO the state. From this
principle we cannot afford to vary by so
much as a hands breadth. Many repub-
have risen in the past, and some OF them
fourished long, but sooner or later they
fell; and the cause most potent in bringing
about their fall was In almost all cases
the fact that they grew TO be governments
in the interest of class instead OF gov
ernments in the interest of all. 1t made
no difference as to which class 1t was that
thus wrested to its own advantage the
governmental machinery. 1t was as fatal
to the cause Of freedom whether 1t was the
rich who oppressed the poor or the poor
who plundered the rich The crime or
brutal disregard of the rights of others
is as much a crime when 1t manlfests
itself in the shape of greed and brutal
arrogance on the one side as when II mani
tests itself in the shape of envy and law
less violence 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 IN our
collective action through the agencies OF
the government, but in our social atu-
tude Rich man and poor man must feel
alike that on the one hand they are pro-
tected 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 II we as
citizens of this nation are true TO our
selves and to the traditions OF our fore
fathers such far measure OF justice shall
be dealt to each man; so that as far as we
can bring II about each shall receive his
dues, each shall be given the chance TO
show the stun there is in him. shall be
secured, against wrong and In turn pre-
vented from wronging others. More than
this no man is entitled to, and less than
this no man shall have.
Visited by school Children.
"A feature of the return Of the party from
the west side to the Capitol square was
the public school children banked for sew
eral blocks along Broad street, white on
one side and colored on the other. The
president finished speaking at 2:2O o'clock.
when the line was reformed and the march
taken up to the Masonic temple, where an
elaborate banquet, with covers for 400 per-
sons, was spread.
