Carnegie Speaks
Gentlemen" he said, 'I cannot tell
you how greatly honored l feel, nor
how thankful 1 am, for this present
for It means a great deal to receive the
replica of such a beautiful gift to so
estirnable a man as William Howard
Taft
Gazing about me- with the Stars and
Stripes and the Union Jack in front of
me; the royal standard of Scotland be-
hind me; on my lapel spray of neither,
presented Just as | arrived, and hear
ing you speak of the Annadale Golf
club, makes me wonder where am L
at?
Everything seems Scotch. DR..
Scherer has talked to you about the
flags on Slibo castle, one of which was
Old Glory and the other the royal
standard of Scotland. He told you how
when he was approaching the castle he
saw first the Stars and Stripes and
then the Scottish standard. and later
was puzzled when he saw them inter
twine and wave as one. Some day that
is what they are going to do.
''I remember when l was a younger
but ambitious author, out here in
California, / wrote a book entitled
"Triumphal Democracy and was so
proud of ii sent a copy to friend of
mine-a critic-George William Curtiss.
The book told in many places about the
California sunshine; 1t was full of sun
shine; and my griend, who came to
California for a visit, wrote back to
me that 1 had dwelt too much on the
sunshine. 1T is all sunshine-sunshine
he said Why didn't you say some
thing about the shadows? | wrote
back to Mr.. Curtiss that "Triumphal
Democracy was written at high noon,
when there are no shadows.
$50 it is now-all sunshine; the
shadows are insignificant. The world
is progressing rapidly toward univer-
sal peace. Looking at the intellectual
array of men before me, | want to
say, too, that / know a community
which can boast of such representa-
lively progressive citizens is bound to
progress to the highest civilization.
you may not believe me, gentlemen,
but 1t Is destiny-the hand of destiny

all English-speak races shall some
day merge with the American. The
Stars and Stripes shall intertwine with
the flags of the English-speaking races
/ am not excluding Germany either,
although her language is different.
emperor William is a great man,
a wonderful ruler. During the twenty
seven years of his reign he has shed
no blood.
Germany is preparing for peace, not
war. 1t is the goal of the civilized
world, and Germany is with the Eng
disappearing races in the cause of
universal peace. Other nations, also,
will join us.
England Isolating Herself
"England is fast isolating herself
from the rest of Europe. Some day
she will realize the great combination
of the new American race, and she will
look over to her children in Canada,
and to the United States, and we will
not hold aloof from her. We will open
our arms and say to her: old lady,
come-come to us; we love you've
have always loved YOU
"The United States is to lead the
world in all good achievements. The
great work of the future will be done
by Americans. She will not only rule
