American history who have stated the
central doctrine OF our institutions so
that all could understand. Thomas
jefferson gave us the doctrine of equal
rights for all and special privileges
for none Abraham Lincoln re-Stated
this doctrine. 1t is good providence
that In our time that doctrine has
been stated again-the doctrine OF the
square deal"
The mention Of the square deal"
brought forth a tremendous burst OF
applause from the people. Senator
DollIyer concluded his speech by say
Ing.
IN tho next ten years the young
men OF the United States Will see
to It that the doctrine of a square deal
la made true and kept true for all
time

Speaks at Field Club Banquet.
OMAHA. NEB., Sept 2.-Spea6ng
to 500 business men, Theodore Rooee-
welt today pointed out the interest
held by tho people OF Europe In the
success of representative government
in America and declared that reac-
tIonaries abroad cast sinister eyes
upon Americas Institutions, hailing
with delight every story Of graft scan
dal and mob rule as an evidence that
government of the people must fail.
Colonel Roosevelt also spoke con-
temptuously OF the merely multi-lpil-
lionaire," the men who. he said were
a discredit whenever pointed to I'm Eu-
rope as typical American. He re-
ferred to mob rule as bringing out
characteristics OF cruelty equal TO
those which they seek to ayenge.
This speech, made at a luncheon
given by the Roosevelt reception COM
mittee at the Omaha Field club. was
frequently applauded. Among those
who listened attentively TO the words
OF the colonel were Governor Shallen-
berger Senators Burkett and Brown OF
Nebraska, Senator Dolliver OF Iowa,
Mayor Dahlman. Victor Rosewater,
Republican national committeeman,
and Representative Walter l. Smith
of Iowa
Friendly with Foreign Nations.
Il have always felt friendly to for
eign nations" said Colonel Roosevelt
in beginning his address
II have never believed that, In or
der TO show your love for your own
country, 1t was necessary TO he insult
Ing TO the people of another country.
II have a feeling of friendllness for
the countries l visited abroad. even
greater than before visiting them
But ! have come back feeling that
there 10 no place in the world TO live
except In the United States,
In the first place. there is a chance
here for the average man, such as there
Is not anywhere else In the world.
There is not another country where
the average man, the man who can
not expect 10 get TO the top, has the
chance TO lead his life with the sue.
cess he can achieve here. In the
second place, what Is less important
and sull very important, II seems 10
me. there Is no place in the world
where the man who does get to the
top has chance To lead life so at
tractiye and full of interest In every
way as in the United States.
No Place for Lazy Man.
"Of course, IL a man desires only
TO lead a life of pleasure, this is not
a good country for It. There ls no
good country for 1t anywhere for the |
simple reason that OF all dismal ca
reers. the most dismal. the most emp
ty. the least worth living from any !
standpoint. is the career of the man 1
who seriously devotes himself as his ,
sole object 10 pleasure.
First, to devote ones self to pleas I
ure as the sole object OF life. is the .
surest way not to get on, Any man
above the lowest strata, above tho /
man seeking pleasure and enjoyment
