the parents Of Farragut. were born on
the other side Of the water. Any one OF
the five was just as much type OF the
real American, of what Is best in America
as the other four.
I'VE should keep steadily before our
minds the fact that Americanism is a
question Of principle, Of purpose, Of ideal
ism. of character: that it is not matter
of birthplace. or creed, or line OF descent
Here in this country the representatives
of many old-world races are being fused
together into a new type. type the main
features of which are already determined
and were determined at the time of the
revolutionary war; for the crucible in
one was shaped from 1776 to 1888, and
our nationality was definitely fixed in all
it's essentials by the men of Washing
tons day.
THE strains will not continue to exist
separately In this country as in the old
world. They will be combined in one;
and of this new type those men will best
represent what is loftiest In the nation $
past. what is finest in her hope for the
future. who stand each solely on shis
worth as a man: who scorn to do evil to
others. and who refuse to submit to
wrongdoing themselves: who have in them
no faint of weakness: who never fear to
fight when fighting is demanded by a
sound and high morality. but who hope
by their lives to bring ever nearer the
day when justice and peace shall pre-
vail within our own borders and In our
relations with all foreign powers.
Much of the usefulness of any career
must lie in the impress that it makes
upon and the lessons that it teaches to
the generations that come after. We OF
this generation have our own problems
to solve and the condition OF our solving
t hem is that we shall all work together as
American citizens without regard to diff
ferences of section or creed or birthplace
copying not the divisions which SO la
mentally sundered our fathers one from
another, but the spirit of burning devo-
ton to duty which drove them forward
ga CHI to do the right 1t was given him
to see the right In the years when Grant
Farragut Sherman. Thomas and Sheri-
dam when Lee and Jackson and the John
stons. the valiant men of the north and
the valiant men of the south, fought to a
finish the great civil war
They did not themselves realize. in the
bitterness of the struggle. that the blood
and the grim suffering marked the death
throes of what was worn out. and the
birth pangs of a new and more glorious
national life. Mighty is the heritage which
we have received from the men of the
mighty days. We in our turn. must grid
up our loins to meet the new issues with
the same stern courage and resolute adj
herence to an ideal which marked our
fathers who belonged to the generation of
the man i'm whose honor we commemorate
this monument today.

DENIED BY MIR. ROOT.
No Treaty With Japan Regarding
Chinese Indepeudence

Secretary Root denies that a treaty has
been signed by the United States and
Japan regarding the protection of the
principle of Chinese independence and the
regulation of immigration between the
two countries, as stated by the Hawaii
Shinpe. and he added that no such treaty
was in contemplation.
The report of the signing of treaty
regarding Chinese independence probably
has its basis in the publications respecting
diplomatic exchanges with Japan on the
proposed restatement of the positions of
both the United States and Japan re-
garding China
AS for the immigration question. the
