AMERICANS ARE IDEALSTS.
These summer assemblies. with their just pro-
portion OF Wholesome pleasure ana hteIIectuai
activity. with exercises, with field sports, with
the inquiries of science and the delights OF 1T
erature are striking indication of the insatia-
bic yearning Of the American heart The Amer
ican people are idealists. The man who goes
about picturtng our communities as filled win
men having higher ideal than the amasslng
Of wealth. thinking solely Of selfish enjoyment.
utters the basest libel upon the American peo-
pie II we can only keep 1ne suCcessIuI man:
the leader in business, IN politics. or IN any OF
The activities Of great life true 10 the sent-
rnents of the heart of the average American We
should have less cause for alarm. (Applause)
The American people are full of zeal for good
things good ideals Of their fathers are still
cherished in their hearts the spirit Of liberty
and the desire TO maintain incorrupubility OF
their institutions are just as conspicuous to-day
If the sense Of the times are truly read as they
were in the days OF '76. IApplause)
Different periods give new duties and furnish
new opportunities for patriotic endeavor. Wash
iEEs5on had his troubles, and all the members of
the Continental army were not devoted patrlots
Washington and those who fought with him TO
establish our liberties had anXieties in order TO
keen his army in the field, and who to-day
would fail 70 take note of the fact that in every
community throughout this broad land the real
sentiment of the people, whether radical here
or conservative there, is simply that the admin
istration and the government shall be straight
forward and impartial (Applause)
PEOPLE WANT THINGS DONE RIGHT.
The people simply want things done right:
free opDOT1unltV before the law anQ NlnQ1cauon
Of the institutions which grant all equal rights
as citizens and that no one. through corruption
of the government through any favoritism of
administration, shall obtain an unfair chance as
against his neighbor- That is the secret Of
American life The American people feel as
strongly about il to-day and, I think, more
strongly than they have in many of the days
that have gone by 1 do rejoice to meet my
constituents in their groups under different ban
ners, with different particular objects. as I go
from place TO place throughout the state. but
after all the consciousness Of unity Is the pre-
dominant feeling Wherever we go we are
linked together by a chain that cannot be
broken
We share together the privileges of civil and
religious liberty, and no one more than recog-
nizes the great service that your Church has
performed for the nation and government which
II holds true TO those sacred principles and re-
hgious feelings which constitute the safeguard
Of institutions. (ApplauseD
AS I say, We, according TO birth education,
are people formed in this group or in that
group, but we are citizens of the United States
and citizens OF our respective states. and our
one object and aim in the line Of duty
citizens is TO give to the state in which We live
and the government of that state. and take just
pride because il fulfls its high purpose, and
therefore 1t is that 1 am most glad to be with
you to-day and to give you word not only of
Official but personal greeting How delightful
are these assemblies away from the stress and
turmoil of a business life
Here It is that derive inspiration from con-
tact with those who are thinking noble thoughts
and who are trying rightly TO conduct their
lives Here il Is no narrow sphere but with
abundance Of enjoyment. with abundant oppor-
tunity for relaxation that not only reinvig-
the body but refresh the soul Man
humble or high. does his work honestly prouder
or the service than Of the gain that he gets for
u and conscious that those who serve the peo-
pie should be imbued with honest sentiments a
70 the service he should render. The man who
SO IN his own life orders his work IS the right
and successful man. and I know by a look In
the faces Of many here that they are thus order
ing their lives and obtaining from If the
maximum OF enjoyment and content NV hest
wishes go with you. and from the bottom Of my,
heart thank YOU for this cordial reception
