PRESIDENT
MAKES ADDRESS
AT PANAMA EXPO
Dedicates Big Fair To Cele-
brate Completion OF the
Panama Canal.
REPRESENTS PRESIDENT
PRAISES STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND THE BUILDERS OF THE
EXPOSITION.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. March Is
CharacteriZing the Panama-Pacific Elk
positian as the "crystalization of the
dreams and thoughts of genius and
talent" Vice President Marshall today
spoke at the exposition lauding the
state of California and the men who
made the exposition possible, and in
the name of the president of the
United States, dedicated the exposi-
ton In glorification OF the completion
of the isthmian canal. He said in
part:
81 crave your sympathy and your
charity, while for a brief moment /
stand here commissioned to take. but
not to fill, the place of the president
OF the United States. In justice to the
day, Woodrow Wilson should be here.
The office and the man would each
fittingly grace this occasion. But
duty said to him that justice to all
+ the people babe him stay in Wash
ington. You hope for continued peace.
Do not forget that he is your greatest
peace-maker. May the truth that he
seeks your good rather than his own
or your pleasure tighten the disap-
pointments of this hour Before the
sunset bell shall proclaim the close
of this marvel of the twentieth cen
fury, the president OF the United
states hopes 10 meet you race 10 race.
California is a state of mystery.
of seeming madness and method, a
state replete with art, science. litera-
ture, law, order and material pros
perity of marvellous accomplishments.
What others took to be the mutter-
ings of mighty man in sleep, she
has made the allcompelling language
of her people. This exposition had TO
be to justify in the mind of man the
potency of dreams and visions over
mere material things. 1t is in con-
sonance with the record of this people.
Sometime in the hurrying rush of resta
less men it had to be, but it came
sooner than 1t otherwise would have
come, because someone dreamed that
here in this sun-kissed cline there
lay the seven cities of Cibola.
Surely he should not be charged
with being merely poetic in mind who
on this occasion boldly declares that
California is the product of dream
and that this exposition is the com
posite photograph of dreamers. The
seven cities of Cibola have become
seventy-and-seven cities of culture.
wealth and character. The dream OF
the Anian Strait has become a reality.
