speech, said
''One cannot greet this particular
body without thinking that it is a
privilege to one State to welcome
body of men whose past history mas
the significance that attaches to the
Spanish American war. because NOT
until the Spanish American war did
sectional feeling disappear III Amer
4ca And to welcome the veterans of
that war Is to experience the satisfae-
tion OF thinking that the pulse of the
NATION for the moment beats in New
Jersey, because / believe that future
historians will more and more look
upon the Spanish war az one Of the
most important turning points IN the
development of America as nation.
America has only slowly found her
way towards that unity which wouid
naturally have characterized her had
she not spread her population over
great continent and experienced The
variety Of life which came with The
variety of conditions on that great
continent, but not until we were bound

as single people.

splendid things that come to ma
sion by the discipline of war. \
friend OF mine, who is a very ardont
friend of peace, wrote a very in-
''teresting essay a few years ago en-
rtitled Christmas, its unfinished bus
mess and the theme of the essay
was this. that peace would supplant
war just as soon as peace became as
handsome ms war.
He called attention to the signif-
cant circumstance that YOU never go
into q household and see a yard stick
or a spade or any symbol or imple-
ment OF peace hung up over the man
tlepiece to symbolic some service of
"A man of the household; but that very
often YOU see hanging there a sword or
inusket, and the reason that the sword
and the musket were used for some
body else ana not fer the man who
yielded them.
There axe many selfish purposes
served by war; there are many ugly
ambitions that bring on war there
have been wars that have disgra ced
humanity because the blood spilled
vas not spilled in any righteous cause,
but the rank and file of the soldery
did not share In the disgrace. because
they bore arms as those who served
