To the Interest of the White

Citizenship
THE TYPE OF FAMILY LIFE
Old Point Comfort, Va., May 30.—,
President Roosevelt joined today with
the surviving members of, both the
blue and the gray in paying appro-
priate and impressive tribute to the
nation's *dead.
in (he morning the president deliv-
ered a patriotic oration in the beauti-
ful grounds of the naval hospital at
Portsmouth and directly afterward un-
veiled a handsome marble shaft erect-
ed bv the .Army rfhd Navy Union, In
ibe cemetery adjoining the hospital
grounds, to the memory of its fallen
comrades.
The ceremonies at Portsmouth were
under the auspices of the Army and
Na.vy Union. The memorial exercises
were preceded by an imposing pavde
through the principal streets of Ports-
mouth. lu the afternoon President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, after an informal
luncheon and reception of the officers
of the Norfolk navy yard at the resi-
dence of Rear Admiral P, iF. Harring-
ton, commandant of the yard they vis-
ited Hampton institute. The president
delivered an address to hundreds pf
Negro and Indian students of the in-
stitute, afterward making a tour of the
various departments of the school.
Hampton, Va., May 30.—A notalile
address was delivered to the students
of Hampton institute today by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He dwelt particularly
on the necessity for the development
of character, not only in the negro,
but in the white man as well, main-
taining that education would fit
neither for citizenship unless accom-
panying it there was the right type
of familv life in the home.
Speaking directly to the negro stu-
dents he said: "Now the thing upon
which 1 wish to lay emphasis is that a
school such as this, which strives to
raise the colored man and colored wo-
man, to make them better men and
belter women, better citizens. Is pre-
eminently in the Interests of the White
man. There is nothing that can be
done better for the white man, who Is
to live side by side with the colored
man, thanHo train that colored man
up to be a good citizen.
“Prom the standpoint of white man,
the safest, and best thing that can hap-
pen is to have the colored people
around him become thrifty, industrious
homemakers and horaekeepers.
“From the standpoint of the colored
man, the only real way to help him is
to help himself.”
Following is the text of the presi-
dent's oration at Portsmouth:
This -day is hallowed and sacred in
our history, for on this day through-
out the land we meet to pay homage to
the memory ofthe valiant dead
fell in the great civil war. No
men deserve so well of this country as
those to whom wc owe it that we now
have a country. Moreover, the men to
whose valor we owe that the Union is
preserved have left us a country re-
united in fact as well as in name. They
have lefi ur. the .memory of the great
deeds and the self devotion alike of
the men who wore the blue and of the
men who wore the gray in the contest
where brother fought brother wjth
equal courage with equal sincerity of
conviction, with equal fidelity to a high
ideal, as it was given to each to see
that ideal.
Moreover, It is a peculiar pleasure
to speak today under the auspices of
the Army and Navy Union, of the
Union which Is meant to Include the
officers and enlisted men of the regu-
lar forces of the United States. Ex-
actly as there is no other body of men
to whom in the past we have owed so
much as to the veterans of the civil
war, so there Is no other body of men
among all of our citizens of today
who as a whole deserve quite as well
of the country as the officers and en
listed men of the army and navy
of the United States. Every man who
lias served well and faithfully, afloat
or ashore, in the service of the United
States, has shown tjiat he possesses
certain qualities which entitle him in
a peculiar degree to the respect of ali
ills fellow- citizens, while every man
who Is now In the service can not but
feel himself uplifted by the thought
that in any time of future crisis it may
be that the honor of the whole na-
tion will depend upon his bearing.
T nere rests upon each «f you a tre-
mendous responsibility, and therefore
to you belongs the proud privilege of
bearing that load of responsibility
well. , ,
This audience is composed largely
of veterans of the civil war, largely
of men who have served in or are
serving in the army and the navy ot
the United States. They are concerned
not only with the duties of the soldier
'and the sailor, but with the duties of
the civilian, with all matters affect-
ing the plain, everyday citizen as he
Joes his everyday duties. For we must,
always remember that in our country
our army and navy are an army and
navy made up of volunteers; all our
forces are volunteers; our regulars,
afloat and ashore, are merely our fel-
low citizens who of their own free will
have taken up this particular task.
The task once through they return to
the body of our citizenship; and ex-
actly as the efficiency of our miiitary
service depends chiefly upon the effi-
ciency of the nation as a whole de-
pends chiefly upon the way in which
the average man performs his plain,
everyday duties.
This does not mean ilia* the leader
whether in military or civil life, can
escape bearing a peculiar burden of
responsibility. To him hati been given
much and from him much wilt be de-
manded. It is right and proper that
the man in a high position, whether
his position he that of a high civilian
official In time of peace or of a high
miHtary or naval officer in time of
war, should receive a marked degree
of credit if he performs his difficult,
delica<e, and responsible task well,
and should, on the other hand, be held
to an especially sharp accountability
for any shortcomings. In-any time
of crisis the man in high office *lu
civil life, the man in high command
in military or naval life, can, if he
be weak dr incompetteut, pai.-alyze
the actions of a multitude of Ibrave
and able men who are under him. On
the other, nand. If in Intellect, and
above all, in character, be is able to
rise level ib the need o: i'he moment,
he may so combine and direct the ac-
tions of the many under him as to
make their jolntt effort irresistible.
The first duty of a leader, civil or
military, is to lead; and he, must lead
well. Exac ly as the people must de-
mand the highest grade of integrity
and efficiency from their leaders in
civil affairs, so In military affairs they
must insist upon every officer devoting1
all the best -that there is in him to
flitlag himself in the du tes of his pro
Pension, to caring and drilling and
training those under him. so that alike
in point, or personnel and in point of
material the army and navy of the
United (Sates -may reach as high a
point of perfection as is humanly pos-
sible. This is -the work ihat only lead-
ers carl do; and if they shirk N their
shame is unspeakable.
Nevertheless it remains true that
no leader can accomplish very much
unless he has the right kind of men
to lead. Unuess the enlisted man
has the right stuff in him If stands
to reason that no officer can get it
out of him, because it is not there to
get out. So In civil life, if all our
leaders were Wahlfingtons and Lin-
colns they could, nevertheless, make
no permanent Improvement In our cit-
izenship unless the average citizen
•rad In him the capacity for snch im-
provement. In the las' analysis It is
the man behind the ballot who counts
most In civil Ijfe, Jlst as it is the man
behind the gun who counts most In
military life.
Wc can not too highly honor lire
merahry of the leaders in ‘he civil
war—of Grant and Lee, of Sherman
and Johnston, of Stonewall JackHon
and Sheridan, or Farragut and of the
captains who fought under and
against. But after ail the man upon
whom the chief credit must rest was
the plain man in the ranks, the man
In blue or in gray yvho went itt to see
the war through, and who .lid see it
through. He had the courage to stand
without flinching the bickering of the
skirmishes and the hammering of the
great lights; he had the steadfast en-
durance to bear -wl h uncomplainlhg
resolution the hunger and the heat
and the cold, the scorching days and
the freezing nights, the grinding, heart
breaking fatigue of the marches, the
wearisome monotny of the camps, and
the slow suffering of the field hospi-
tals. So itt the army and the navy to-
day, 'In the last analysis we 'must de-
pend upon having the right stuff In

uff put into proper

forty-five years ago In
........... the character of the
average man that must be the deter-
mining factor in achieving national
success or going down to national dis-
aster. Leadership is necessary in or-
der hat we ntay get really good re-
sult* out of a high average of indi-
vidual character; but without a high
character the average Individual Uhe
leadership by itself can avail but
little.
Now it is easy to say this In words
which shall imply merely flattery of
the average voter or of the average
enlisted man. I certainly do not In-
tend my words to be so taken. It is
q sure sign of 'weakness in any man
if he is always wanting to -be flat-
tered, and t specially if he lets his
head be turned by flattery. The
average voter needs to learn and to
keep steadily in mind the fact that
If in the last resort the real power
is his, so In the last resort the real
responsibility is his. He cannot cast
off on anyone else the responsibility
for our governmental shortcomings.
Nothing is cheaper than to say that
the people are all right, but that the
politicians are all wrong. As a mat-
ter of fact, politics, an.1 therefore;
politicians, will In the long run repre-
sent raithfully either the wishes or
the Indifference of the people; and if
the people are indifferent the results
are Just about as bad as !r they de-
liberately choose to go wrong. So
It Is with the enlisted man.
When 1 call attention to the high
place he hold*, and must ever hold
in the esteem of every sensible man,
I do it less with the intention ot em-
phasizing the respect due him by out-
siders than with the Intention of
making him realize the burden of
honorable obligation resting upon his
shoulders. By unwearied effort he
muBt learn to do his duty, whether

SCANDAL HOVERS
OVER MR. WILSON
Cougressioual Committee
investigating Building
for tlie Department
of Agriculture.
FIND LAW 18 VIOLATED
Congress Said Do One Thin*
and Appropriated Money,
But Secretary Wilson
Did Quite Another.
MORE MONEY BE NEEDED
Washington, May 30.—What mem-
bers of the house committee on ap-
propriations regard as an absolute dis-
regard of the law authorizing the con-
struction of new -buildings for the
department of agriculture is revealed
in the hearings before that commit-
tee on the sundry appropriation bill.
Iln 1903 congress appropriated $1,*
500,000 for this building, it was the
general understanding that this
amount was for the erection of a
complete building for the accommo-
dation of the entire department.
Jt was with some astonishment, that
the members learned Iasi week that
"somebody” has ordered the construc-
tion of two wings of what may some
day be the completed buildings and
that the two wings have practically
exhausted the million and a half dol-
lars appropriated for a complete
»! ructuro.
The wings, when completed, will,
according to testimony given lief ore
the committee, be inadequate to
house the department force, ami con-
gress will be called upon to appro-
priate another couple of .millions to
fill the space betweio the two wings.
Considerable Irritation was develop-
ed during'the hearings before the ap-
propriations committee, ami Secre-
tary Wilson. Ur. Galloway and offi-
cials of me agricultural department
were questioned concerning what is
said to lie a direct violation of the
law.
'When G. S. Gardner,, mechanical
engineer of the department of agricul-
ture, testified before the appropria-
tions committee he was asked if he
lOitjw the limit of the cost ot the
entire building, and replied tiiat he
did—that It wa.s VI,500,000. rt de-
veloped further from Mr. Gardner’s
testimony Ihat. the administrative
■work Of the department, would be car-
ried oil in the 'present building, al-
though congress provided that It
should be torn down.
"Do you know." asked Mr. Tawney,
“who is responsible for the plans of
the building that is now being erect-
ed, that was authorized, accepted and
approved?"
"The secretary of agriculture,” re-
plied Mr. Gardner. *
Mr. aGrdner then testified that
thirty-seven thousand dollars' worth
of useless work had beetf done In or-
der that the site for the building
might be moved forty feet.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilsjn
was questioned at some length before
the committee and made a long pre-
pared statement in defense of the
present construction.
The secretary detailed the great
growth of the department and defend-
ed his course In ereefing wings that
might be added to, instead of erecting
one building as specified by congress.

played by all classes ot society dur-

yesterday afternoon, as a result of
which .1. R. Winron, a well known
ranchman; Mrs. J. B. Warren. his wife
and T. R, Pierce of Hillsboro, Texas,
are dead.
At G o’clock yesterday afternoon the
telephone operator in Stiles was called
up. The speaker said:
"Tills is J. R. Warren. Send Sheriff
Japson out to my place fli once. There
are two dead people here now and
there will be another In u few min-
utes.''
Sheriff Japson and u physician went
out at once. When they arrived at the
ranch they were met at the gate by
James Cotton, Warren’s hired man,
who told them where to find the bodies
of the dead people.
In the family bedroom were found
the bodies of J. R. Warren and Mrs.
Warren. The body of T. R. Pierce was
lying on the floor of the dining room.
Blood was spattered cm the walls and
floor of both rooms and there were
many evidences of a terrific struggle.
Mrs. Warren had been shot twice in
the forehead, either shot being suffi-
cient Iff cause death.
Pierce was shot. In. the head, the bul-
let ranging downward, breaking his
neck.
Warren was shot, through the head.
There were no witnesses to Hie trag-

but wall afraid to go In the house. The
cause of the killing is a mystery. War-
ren and hi* wife were both young and

who came to their house only a few
days since from the rancli of A. D,
Warren, a brother of J. R. Warren,

No one seems to have known of any
previous trouble. On the contrary, the
Warrens were a model couple. Mr*.
