find that same principal with Dewey in
Manila harbor or with Schley at SAM
tiago. The same principal of bravery
and determination, which marked the
earlier years of this government, might
be found in a more modern time with
Roosevelt as he climbed the San Juan
hill, there to place the starry flag as a
declaration to the world that this gov
eminent stood as a protectorate to all
people who would declare themselves
free and show themselves capable of
self-government. So much for the
past history of this nation of ours.
at is of the present and future that
| would now make an assertion. l was
especially taken today with n divi-
sion of that parade which marched
down our thoroughfare. 1t was O.
division of young men bearing upon
their breasts an emblem which said,
1.-THE Coming Men of America" l be-
lieve that that little organization with
all that it contains, should have the
support of every man, woman and
child in the town of Tonopah, for in
the Coming Men of America, must be
: found the solution for all of the great
national problems, which now confront
our statesmen, and there are national
: problems of serious moment and of one
{ or two of them permit me to speak at
this time.
"We are living in times of peace, no
army array confronts US, 10 wal cry or
battle sound can be heard, but there is
: within this land an army more for
!. midable than the army arrayed in blue
s or gray, 1T is an army of peace-an
d army of home builders, any army of
organized labor, an army of men bound
together by principals most sacred in
themselves because they are the prin-
/ cipals by which one man is bound to
another for his own support and for
the welfare of all. The controversies
which naturally arise between the en-
ployer and the employee have in past
! years been settled, on two occasions,
by the calling out of the standing
i army. / believe that the day is gone
by when the troops Of this nation viii
be called out to settle disputes wherein
labor and capital are the conflicting
elements. / believe that it is in tht
= Coming Men of America, the youth
i the strength of the nation, in his mint
and in his education that the solution
for all these great problems will b.
= found, and that the conflicts arising
between these two elements, of whicl
/ have spoken, win be settled by tina
which is more powerful than the swor,
the mind of men.
There is one more problem of whicl
at l would speak, and that is the grea
r. problem of the Philippine Islands as ]
stands today. We have entered a Ian
1000 miles from home, upon a roa
cleared by grape and canister an
ne paved with the bodies of our victim
M and we are sending our young me
ut across the waters to struggle in a Ian
that never did, and never will, belon
". to them, and our trusts are CROWN
nv rich supplying caskets to bring the
dead bodies back to their mother Liant
or In the Philippine Islands this nation h;
le no more concern nor right to maintai
& standing army than it would have
= any other foreign nation upon the fa'
70 Of the globe. We hauled down II
stars and stripes from the flagpoles
au- Cuba and in doing so we declared
ure the world that we were not a nation
re- selfshness, but that the principals I
which we first commenced the W
ma with Spain should be carried out to t
also fullest extent, and that the people tn
Ihe had so long desired to govern the
OF selves on the island of Cuba shot
~ have the support of this, the create
ont Republic under the sun of God. VIII
we we hauled the flag down from the II
Inc rets of Cuba we performed one of I
pom most ~magnanimous acts ever CARR
an out by the United States of Amerit
mas When this nation will come to t
Jest realization that the Withdrawing {
ma. troops and pulling down our COLI
from the heights of the Phillip
'ei' Islands is an act of justice, we '
men have reiterated that which is char
De t%eristic of our race, our governm,
IN and our people. We will have est
Oh lished a new government upon
island of the Pacific which will fore
ciVi- do credit to the energy and bravery
IONS the American people,"
