PREACHMENT BY TEDDY.
President Delivers Address to
Georgetown Students.

Washington. June 14-President
Roosevelt today attended the eighty
seventh annual commencement Of
Georgetown college, conferred the de-
grees and prizes awarded and delivered
brief address to the students who
were graduated.
In his address President Roosevelt
said that on account of their superior
advantages, the graduates owed a pc
culiaT obligation to their country and
the people had a right to expect them
to be of value and service to the coun-
try.
The president urged the young men
to wage relentless war on vice and cor
ruption and dishonesty in every walk
of life, irrespective of the social condi-
ton OF the dishonest man but he eau
toned them not at any time to endeavOr
to array classes against one another.
In conclusion he spoke of the advan-
tages of athletic sport in college life
and said the true athletic training and
spirit might be carried by each man
into his after life. This spirit, he said
might be summarized as follows:
Don't finch; don't foul, and hit the
line hard"
The president said in part:
DO not attack the poor man who is
dishonest, or the rich man who is dis
honest, as a member of a class; attack
him simply because he is dishonest.
Wage war relentlessly on every man of
wealth who does what is wrong.
Attack in every way the iniquity of
the corporation. But remember, you
men of education. to whom we have a
right to look for leadership. that you do
the greatest possible wrong if you.
train people to an cnliqueness of vision
which shall make them condemn
wealth instead of c, ming crooked
wealth: which shall maAe them fail to
see that the real test is honesty as
against dishonesty. The wealthy cor
TuptiOnist and the sour damagOgue who
denOUnces all wealth, represent not op-
pOsite vices, but the same vices de
veloped under different conditions. You
can rest assured that the poor man who
envieS and hates 1.-THE rich man, the
arrogant rich man who looks down
upon and disTegards his duty toward
the poor men. would each commit the
faults of the other if fortune placed
him in the opposite position"
