The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1944-09-21

! Governor Varied, Mayor I!manlS
and a host of others to represent
her, the State was everywhere in
evidence, and her delegation re-
fiected great credit upon her. The
only untoward incident of the
Marylanders' trip was fright given
Mrs. Warfield by negro thief, who
entered her cabin on the steamer
Columbia, but was frightened off.
An imposing array of fighting
ships of this and other nations lay
at anchor in Hampton Roads, and
was reviewed by the President, on
the yacht Mayfiower.
But there were slips even in such
big thing as the Jamestown expo
sition, staff correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun declared. Said the
correspondent; II am a good Meth
odist, but you can quote me as say
ing that this is a d. outrage"
This is the story the correspondent
gave: ITO begin with, the Con-
gressional visitors were delayed an
hour in landing at Old Point Com
fort last night They came down
the Potomac river on the big steam
er Jamestown, but found four
steamers ahead of them at the Old
Point wharf, including one that
was loading freight. After lying
amid stream an hour the James
town succeeded in getting a berth
at the wharf, and the party, after
an all-day ride, reached the Cham
berlain Hotel. The gayety there
last evening, in manner, compen-
stated for their difficulties in land
ing" Representative James E.
Watson, of Indiana, commented
upon the manner in which the joint
Congressional committee, appointed
under resolution of Congress to
represent that body at the exposi-
ton, were treated. Other members
of the Congressional party enter
tanned equally strong feelings upon
the subject, although they were
disinclined to discuss the subject
except among themselves.
President Roosevelt was given an
ovation. He did not attend a ball
given in the evening but was the
guest of President Tucker at din
ner at the residence of Barton
Meyers, Norfolk. The dinner was
private affair.
In an address President Roose-
welt welcomed foreign representa-
tives and urged unity. Said he:
Mob must not rule, neither shall
it be a. government of the pluto
crat." Speaking of rising tide of
peace, the President said: ITO all
of you here gathered 1 express my
thanks for your coming and l ex-
tend to you my earnest wishes for
the welfare of your several nations.
The world has moved so fast that
it is no longer necessary to believe
that one nation can rise only by
thrusting another down. All far
sighted statesmen, all true patriots,
now earnestly wish that the lead
ing nations of mankind, as in their
several ways they struggle con-
stantly toward a higher civiliza-
ton, higher humanity, may ad-
vance hand in hand, having only a
generous rivalry to see which can
best do It's allotted work in the
world. I believe that there is
rising tide in human thought which
tends for righteous international
peace; a tide which it behooves lis
to guide through rational channels
to sane conclusions; and all of us
here present can well afford to take
to heart st. Paul's counsel: If it
be possible, as much as lieth in you,
live peaceably with all men,
THE history of the pioneers of
jamestown, of the founders of Vir-.
ginia," continued the President,
illustrates that the pioneers of our
people who first landed on these
shores on that eventful day three
centuries ago, had before them a
task which during the early years
was of heartbreaking danger and
difficulty. The conquest of a new
country is iron work. 1t is true
that the pioneer life was simple
but it was certainly not easier. AS
a matter of fact the first work of
pioneer in lonely wilderness is
so rough, so hard, so dangerous that
none but the strongest spirits sur
vive. The history of the pioneers OF
Jamestown, of the founders of Vir-
ginia, illustrates all this. Famine
and pestilence and war menaced the
little band of daring men.
