The president was escorted to a

Immense assembly awaited him Ills

son entering tho park bore a small
United States flag and the fluttering

while every few feet large flags waved
In tho breeze
Tho president was Introduced by
Mayor Baker and delivered an ad-
dress Just as the president stepped
on the platform the school children
assisted by a band rendered Amer-
ica
Tho entire city was elaborately dec-
orated all places of business being
closed by agreement during tho stay
of the president here The postofflce
also all school were likewise closed
The complimentary allusions of the
chief executive to the state and the

the band commenced playing Dixie
and Mr Roojovelt beat time enthusi-
astically Ht said he had come to
better Ho
awa a one paida ylowlng
compliment tp the greatness iif Texas
saying It had toon borne In on him
every hour that a glorious leiHogs was
enjoyed by the people Texas was a-
part of the common country and he
believed In the United State i owner-
ship of every foot of American soil
He strongly stressed the need a
compact and disciplined national
guard and expressed gratification at
the Interest shown In this organiza-
tion In Texas But the true greatness
of Texas was In the men wromon and
children who were animated with hon-
est purpose courage and balanced by
old common sense Particular grati-
fication was expressed at the fact that
the wearers of the blue and tho gray
were mingled In the crowd which had
Increased to 40000 people before the
speaking concluded The closing ref-
erence was an expression or gratifica-
tion at the magnlflcsrit reception

with people and the last view of the
president was as he stood on tne car

In Introducing the president Mayor
Baker referred to the fact that the
people of Texas were anxious to see-
the Brazos and Trinity rivers made
navigable and the president In his
remarks said that Texas as a part < f
the common country would certainly
receive attention as to her streams not
oi a favor from him but because nil
projects which had been found meri-
torious by honest and competent agen-
cies deserved It

ed thing It Is that nou every man
this land can feel the name pride In the
valor and devotion of those who fought
for one side as In those who fought
for the other And I can In sense claim
to be by blood at least a typical presi-
dent for I am half southerner half
northerner I was born In the east an 1
I have a grpat deal of the west In my
spirit Cheers
The Civil war has left you ni a her-
itage of honor not merely the memory
of the mighty deeds done In It nllke by
the men of the north and the men of
the south It has left us also an Inspi-
ration the way In which those men
when the war was through turned to
the callings of peace and wrought on
In peace success exactly as they had
wrought It out In war
I come to Texas not for the first
time Seven years ago again there was
a call to arms a call to arms against
a foreign foe Gentlemen of the Big
war It was a mighty small war but It
was all there was Inughter The
trouble Is there was not enough to go
around Laughter And It then
came to my lot to come here to Texn
and help In raising a regiment a regi
ment In which I think about two
thirds of the man had fathers who serv-
ed In the Confederate army About
onethird perlvips more fathers who
served In the Union army They were
the sons of the men who wore the blue
the sons of the men who wore the gray
and our only d > sire was to show our
selves not wholly unworthy of the
mighty men of the years that had
passed
lou of this state of Texas have be
hind you a history containing deeds of
which not only you but all the country
must be forever proud My regiment
was raised under the walls of that his-
toric building of which It was salr that
Thermopolyhad Its messenger of death
but the Alamo had none Cheers
I will ask you men of the Civil war
If It Isnt a fact that as a rule the
man who was a good soldier was the
man who did each day the little things
of that day the man that you wanted
was the man who when his business
was to dig kitchen sinks dug them
Wasnt that so
The veterans sitting In the front
rows of heats replied with an emphatic
Yes and one or two said Thats
right Mr President
Continuing President Roosevelt
said I recollect In my own regiment
when Just as we were startng In
there was one of the members a young
fellow well brought up enthusiastic
He came up to me and complained
Said he Colonel I came down here-
to fight for my country and they have
set me to burying a dead horse And
we explained to him to go light ahead
and bury that horse that was what
the duty of the moment was when the
fighting came we would take care of
that too Now Just as In time of war
it is the man who does his duty In
camp does his duty on the march does
not straggle doesnt throw away the
blanket at 10 a m because Its heavy
and jgrlsh he had two at 12 oclock that

ing as by a greeting such as this with
this wonderful srniy I had expected
n good deal of you but nothing like
this Cheeis This wonderful array
and above nil what I know and be-
lieve that you will not mind my saying
above all to be greeted by the men who
when the hour of trial came In 18C1
sprang to arms and whether they wore
they blue or whether they wore the
gray proved the sincerity of their de
otlon by the valor with which they
So
Yes and laughter from the veter-
ans and1 others Just as thats the
kind of man who makes the best sold-
iers so it Is true Inclvll life the man
who does his duty as a citizen In the
long run is the man who does his work-
day by day as that work makes him
behave treat his wife treat his child-
ren In hl business In hli home and
If he does these duties well the out-
come of the bum of the duties means
that he is a good citizen Applause

see at the various places he passed
through so iany school children de-
claring the next generation must use
to the level of Its duties

though programme did not call for n

the loud acclaim of the people and es-
corted by a committee who boarded
his car to a stand made a brief address
His subject was Statehood and en-
thusiastic applause greeted his utter
ances that Indian Territory would add
its star to the galaxy of states within n

were run liy ill the nilroads and not
for j ears have so many full blooded
Indians vNlted the city The territorial
mounted guards and a horde of deputy
marshals constituted a guard of honor

crowd gave a mighty cheer and as he
mounted the speakers stand and bowed
a son of the plnlns who had climbed
a telegraph pole yelled eHllo old
pal how are youT He acknowledged
the salutation with a smile and a wave
of his hand Two thousand school chil-
dren had githered In an enclosure near
the stand and gave a flag salute The
president spoke as follows I cannot
say how much impressed I have been
traveling through the territory this

conjunction with Oklahoma will soon
be one of the great sUite of this union
I look forward to meeting your sena-
tors and congressmen not long hence
