The years have passed and their passing has
witnessed many changes. Conditions to-day In
every section of the country. and in every re-
spect, differ from those Of the earlier days OF
our history. But In one respect the spirit OF
our people holds the same temper and quality
as that Of tho colonists The citizens of this re-
public still cherish the love of liberty. II is the
heritage OF native born Americans-a heritage
highly priced and carefully guarded. The av-
erage man in this country believes In fair
chance and square deal for himself and every
other man, and nothing 80 effectually arouses
indignation as the sight Of injustice, oppression
and wrong. .-,r
The strength and stability OF the nation seem
guaranteed by the ability of its citizenship to
still hold passion and prejudice In the path Of
reason. The Unborn love of liberty has some
times been outraged; the sense Of justice has
now and then been wounded by the obvious
abuses and miscarriages OF justice: the convic-
tion has been steadily growing and. generally
spreading, that the masses have not been get
ting a square deal There has been an under
current OF social unrest and political dssatisfac
ton greater than many of our leaders have un-
derstood. Now and then incendiarism has
sought by passionate utterance to fan and feed
the fame. Occasionally prophets have risen to
predict a coming revolution. But through 1t all
the people have maintained q poise-a national
balance-that 10 both remarkable and admirable.
In the presence OF economic conditions, politi-
cal collisions and corporate conspiracies, that
worked hardship and suffering to great masses
Of the people, there has been no appearance Of
force or violence; but surprising moderation in
speech and action. and that same spirit of pa
thence under distress. and loyalty to the institu
tons OF government that characterized the early
days Of our history. The self-control and abil-
ity of the people Of this country to hold passion
and prejudice in restraint is one OF our great
national assets. nation Ia safe when impulse
