has been tested and vindicated in
succession of national emergencies'
good citizen, brave, soldier, wise ex-
ecutive helper and leader OF men,
exemplar othe people of the virtues
that build and conserve the state, so
ciety and the home.
Berkeley. May 5, 1901
1t would be hard to imagine an
eptaph which good citizen would he
more anxious TO deserve or one which
would more happily describe the quail
tiles Of that great and good citizen
whose life we here commemorate. he
possessed to very extraordinary de-
gree the gift of uniting discordant
forces and securing from them
harmonious action which told for good
government From purposes mot
merely adverse, but bitterly connict,
ing, he was able to secure healthful
action for the good of the state. In
both poise and Judgment he rose leve'
10 the serveral emergencies he had 10
meet as leader Of the nation ana nke
all men with the root of true great
ness in them he grew to steadily larger
stature under the stress, OF heavy re-
sponsibilities He was good citi-
zen and a brave soldier chief eNecu-
tive whose wisdom entitled him to the
trust which he received throughout
the nation He was not only leader
of men but pre-eminently helper OIL
men: for one Of his most marked
traits was the intensely human quality
Of his wide and deep sympathy. RI
nally. he not merely preached, ne
was. that most valuable Of all citizens

virtues that build and conserve alike
our public life and the foundation OF
all public life, the intimate lie or the
home.
Many lessons are taught US by his
career, but none more valuable than
the lesson of broad human sympathy
! for and among of all our citizens of all
classes and ereeds. No other presi-
dent has ever more deserved TO have
| his life work characterized in Lin
coins words as being carried on with
malice toward none. with charity to-
ward all" As a boy he worked with
/ his hands: he entered the army as a
private soldier; he knew poverty ne
earned his own livelihood; and by his
own exertions he finally rose To th9
position of man Of moderate means
/ Not merely was he in personal toueh
