California is state of mystery,
Of seeming madness and method, a
state replete with art, science, litera-
ture, law. order and material prosper.
lity of marvellous Accomplishment
What others took to be the mutter-
ings of a mighty man in sleep, she
has made the all-compelling language
of her people. This exposition had
to be. to justify in the minds of man
the potency of dreams and visions
over mere material things. 1t is in
consonance with the record of this
people. Sometime in the hurrying
rush of restless men it had TO be,
but it came sooner than otherwise It
would have come because someone
dreamed that here, in this sun-kssed
cline, there lay even 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 a
dream and that this exposition is the
composite photograph of dreamers.
The seven cities of Cibola have be-
come seventy-and-seven cities of cul-
ture, wealth and character. The
dream of the Anian strait has become
a reality, south of Mexico ii is true,
but nevertheless a reality called the
Panama canal.
Il am sure express the thought of
the president and the hope of the
American people when | say that our
canal was built not alone for glory
or great gain, but with sincere de-
sire to make the whole world kin
There are two gospels now instead
of one The gospel of good will has
been supplemented with the gospel of
personal contact The gospel of good
will continues to be supreme, but
nothing will help it preach so loudly
those human agencies which elimin-
ate distance, blend languages and
give us sight as well as knowledge
each of the other.
q am quite sure that am but one
of a countless throng in this republic
who regret that this altruistic work
has real or seeming defect in the
charge of an injustice done a sister
republic to the south. Let us not
be too much dismayed this day by
reason of that fact The American
people are wise and they know he is
not wise who is not Just. look
with confidence for the early arrival
of that good hour when whatever
wrong may have been done shall be
righted and when there will be left
no drop of bitter water to flow in
that channel which unites the seas
From the first to the present
president of the United States when
ever thought has been voiced upon
the subject, that thought has been
that we exist for humanity's sake as
much as for our own. that we crave
friendly relations with all people
and entangling alliances with none
While half the world is in a rage
,ndeseribable and unutterable, seek.
Ing to build monuments out of clay
kneaded in a brothers. blood; sad
eyed and sober the goddess Of our in
stitutions seeks to hold out to war
| ring world the olive branch of peace.
"0stensibly | am here in the name
OF the president of the United States
to dedicate this exposition in glorih-
cation of the completion of the canal.
Really, that waterway from its begin
ming was dedicated to the idea and
the ideals of the republic. Here men
of every age and every cline behold
the MONDAY of the worlds accom-
plishment, the capitalization of the
dreams and thoughts of genius and
of talent. May we not hope that
here a thought-dawn will be born
that shall not cease to broaden until
at its meridian light, all men around
the world are one?"
