Nashville Tenn, oct. 22.-Never
before has Nashville so elaborately
decorated ms it was today when vel
coming President Roosevelt. Buting,
flags, banners. ana pictures OF the
president We're ON almost every house
In the uptown section OF the city,
which was crowded with people from
a radius of a hundred miles
Ihc special train entered the Union
station amid the booming of cannon,
ringing Of bells, shrieking of whistles
and the cheering Of thousands The
street parade, led by the chief execux
tive was continuous ovation. The
president said.
There has been trouble In the
stock market and in the high fnancial
world during the past few months.
The statement has been frequently
made that the policies esgwhch / stand
for legislative and executive. are re-
sponsible for the trouble. Now these
! policies of mine can be summed up In
one brief sentence. They are intended
/ tu punish successful dishonesty. I
doubt If these policies have had any
material effect in bringing about the
present troubles, but II they have. it
! viii not alter, In the slightest degree
my determination that, for the re-
naming sixteen months of my term
of office, these policies shall be pei Sc
vered In unswervingiy
"lf 10 arouse the proper type OF
civic manhood in our nation II were
necessary to suffer any temporary
commercial depression, | should con-
slider the cost but small. All we have
done has been TO unearth the wrong
doing II was not the fact that II was
tuncarthed that did the damage. All
| did was To turn on the light. | am re-
! sponsihle for turning on the light, but
4 ! am not responsible for what the light
Showed Il IL impossible To cut out a
Icnncer without making the patient
/ feel for "a few days rather sicker than
/ he felt before. No material well being
can save this nation If Il loses the lift
toward higher things. I will permit
neither the demagogue upon one side
nor the TeaCtlOnary on the other To
/ drive mo away from the course OF poll
LEY which | regard most vital for the
we'll being of this nation. And the
thing most important To remember ~
that that policy has two sides. II
would indeed be an evil for this ma
ton II We ever permitted to grow up
Ia spirit which would discriminate
against the honest business man who
achieves business success. There is
nothing nearer than the hatred of the
man who prospers honestly, simply be-
cause he has prospcred and | challenge
the spirit OF every good American
when ! say that the honest railroad
man. the honest banker and the hon
est business man who makes a for
tune because his exceptional business
ability enables him 20 render excep-
tional service 60 the community. lr
ever there should be any temporary
gusts of popular feeling that demand
what Is wrong. what Is unrighteous.
then the true servant OF the people Is
the man who disregards that tempo-
rary wish OF the people to do evil
more strongly than ! will In IN ede-
fense of property so long as Il is hon
estly acquired and honestly used
(cheers) will stand against crimes
of brutal violence. just as | stand
against crimes Of brutal violence Just
as I stand against crimes OF unscru-
pulous cunning There are certain
gentlemen who say that / have talked
against men OF wealth as such. Those
gentlemen are blind II they see facts
in that light. / Will protect in every
way IN my power honest property.
''T will protect the honest man OF
wealth 10 the extent OF my ability and
in no way can I ultimately protect the
honest man OF wealth 50 effectually
as doing everything In my power 10
bring 10 Justice his dishonest brother
OF wealth (great applause).
"Our whole movement Is simply and
solely to make the decalogue and the
In the business life Of the community"
(Great applause and cheers.l
