 Nashville. Tenn. Oct. 22.-President Roosevelt was greeted with great en- thuSiaSm by many thousands gathered from all over the state when he ar rived here from NicksburG. Miss, where he delivered an address eulo- gizing many of MiSsissippis dead and idOliZed soldiers and statesmen.
 The reception committee which met the president at Delta included Con grnssman John Sharp Williams and General stephen D, Lee, commander in chief of the United Confederate Neter- ans.
 President Roosevelt in his address said.
 It is indeed an honor for me to be today the guest of Nicksburg and of Missssip- pl. and 1 was ncNpressibly touched by the greeting over that great arch of cot ton bales aS ] came up from the boat which said that Mississippi greets her president l should not be fit to be president at all if 1 did not with all my might and main, with all my heart and brain, ScC k to be in the fullest sense the president of Mississippi. the president of every state in this Union. I am glad to be here in this historic city, this city for ever memorable because of the heroic scenes in which victor and varqUished a!ik" showed such splendid courage. such spl '.did fcalty to the light as it was giv- en 10 each.
 EuIoezes Jefferson Davis.
 And before the civil war Mississippi sons had shown that they knew how 10 fight IL was from NiCksburg that company came of that Mississippi regi- mcnt which won undying renown in the Mexican war under the gallant leader ship of it's colonel who afterward be- came the favorite son not only of Mis- sssippi, hut of all the south. Jefferson Davis. And oh, my fellow citizens, think how fortunate We are. think what good fortune is ours as d nation. that 1t is possible for the president of the nation to come here today to he conducted through i your national park by the surviving lieu | tenant general of the Confederate army i and to feel that every instance of herosm recorded by the monuments alike to the l Union and the Confederate dead on that ! battlefield is a subject for just pride to 1
 
 where he lives.
 And General Lee read to me that noble 1 inscription on the Pennsylvanians' monu- | mont. an inscription that should make | the heart of every true American thrill | as he reads il. Here brothers fought for | their principles. here heroes died for | their country, and a united people will ! forever cherish the precious legacy of 1 their nohl" manhood"
 Republic Will Endure.
 What other war is there of which we can say that before the general that fought it had died away the whole coun- trv lisos to feel the same triumph alike ! for those who fought so valiantly for what thcv believed to be right and tri- umphcd and for those who fought so for what they with equal sim Certv thought to he right and lost?
