In honor of Theodore Roosovclt,
Lincoln representing the state of Ne
braska in its ilftioth anniversary,
staged a patriotic parade of great pro
portions Thursday afternoon, escorting
the ox-presidont to tho capltol grounds
wnoro ho made his address "Ameri
canism." With all tho vigor at his command
ho drove homo tho fundamental truths
of tho doctrine of Americanism. Ills
apeecu was tompored with kindly con
sideration for those of foroicn blood In
the country, but ho was emphatic in
pointing out tho duty of every Ameri
can at tho present time. His speech
bristled with epigrams. Hero are some
of them:
"Tho liborty secured in tho civil war
to the black man waB secured only be
cause the whito man was willing to,
fight to tho death for the union and
for the flag to which wo owe undivid
ed allegiance."
"Tho civil war settled tho great prin;
ciplo that wo wore definitely to realize
that while peace was normally a good
thing, yet that righteousness stood
abovo peace, and that tho only good
citizens were those who stood ready to
face war rather than to submit to an
unrighteous or cowardly peace."
"It would bo impossible to ovorstato
the damage done to the moral ilbor of
our country by tho professional pacifist
propaganda, the peaco-at-any-price pro
paganda which has been growing In
strength for the last ten years. The
professional pacifists during these two
years and a half have occupied precise
ly the position of- tho copperheads dur
ing the time of Abraham Lincoln.
' First of all wo must insist that all
our people practioo tho patriotism of
sorvice and that wo give a fervid and
undivided loyalty to our common coun
try. Patriotism is an affair of deeds
and patriotic words are good only In
sofar as thoy result in deeds."
"Unless we now, at this moment,
strive each of us to servo the country
according to our several abilities, we
art. false to the memories of the na
tion builders to whose sagacity and
prowess wo owe the creation of this
state fifty years ago."
"Wo cannot render effective service
if tuir loyalty is oven in tho smallest
decree divided between this and any
other nation. Tho events of the past
few years havo conclusively shown
that tho men whether of Gormati or
any other origin-, who attempts to corn
bin allegiance to this country with al
lowance to another is necessarily falso
to 'his country."
"A.s tho last war was opposed only
.by those whose public policy was on a
level with tho private policy of a man
wlo would not oven resent his wife's
fao boing slapped by a ruffian or his
daughter being kidnapped by a white
sla ver."
'I do not like war any more than I
lik a house afire. But I count it Just
as silly and Just as wicked to refrain
irtfni preparing against war and from
crushing those who make wicked war,
as It is to refuao to preparo against a
flrr or to smash a firebug."
There were many orders and organ!'
zaftons in tho parade that aroused en
thusiasm and Interest, but they woro
all overshadowed by the presence of
tho colonel himself. Bowing and smil
Iny almost continually. Mr. Roosevelt
in company with Governor Neville,
Mayor Miller, Prank H. Woods, presl
dent of tho Commercial club, and J. H.
Hansen, driving, drovo through tho
Biurets lined with cheering people.
Many thousands of pooplo lined tho
stiots from tho beginning to tho ond
of he parade a distance of more than
a wile Cars containing tho veterans
of Ihe Civil war wore accorded places
of ionor and tho fife and drum corps
adtfed to tho patriotic music offered by
four bands.
Tho yoke of oxon, representing the
fint Nebraska parados and tho his
toilcal cowboys and cowgirls, woro
pat,of tho spectacle Tho votorun of
th Spanish-American war marched In
double file.
On tho car carrying Mr. Roosevelt
wo tho flags of England and Franco
aide by side with tho Stars and Stripes.
Th wholo parado was led by the staff
corps and tho department of mounted
orderlies and Company B of the signal
corps, now on police duty In Lincoln,
all under direction of Gen. Phil Hall.
The Spanish war veterans woro led
by Department Commander Foro and
Chaplain Kline, under tho direction of
Captain Allen.
The actual column of march was
hmded by Colonel C. J. Bills, marshal
of tho day, with nlno mounted aides.
Tho dignity and beauty of the
masque "Nebraska," presented in con
nection with the celebration, mado
tlw pageant seem entirely worthy of
th events symbolized. ' Tho logical
sequence in which rho acts follow,
oah furnishing an Important feature
in tho development of a great histori
cal story, gavo to tho production n
umty lacking in somo degree to tho
previous pagoanta of Lincoln. The
vailous phases of Nobraska's history
wf.re pictured In striking stylo nnd
with beauty of color, music and motion
-to emphasize important incidents.
Green's band of Omaha followed,
with state guards mounted, led by Ad
jutant Genoral Phil Hall. After them
camo a column of Lincoln Greeks, fifty
strong, who havo enlisted.
FIftoen nutomobllos bearing stato of
ficers wero next in lino.
Lodgos led by Frank Ringer then
followed. Twonty-flvo now recruits
took thoir placo bohlnd, followed by
tho Nobraska stato band.
Roosovolt's car was next in lino. His
hat was off most of tho timo, bowing
and acknowledging cheers.
Navy recruits followed, with tho unl
vorslty endot band bohlnd them.
Then came a double line of nuto
mobiles with old soldiers nnd Civil war
veterans. Tho Farragut flfo nnd drum
corps was In ono of tho cars. There
woro thirty machines in this division.
Thirteen Bohominns, mostly womon,
bearing a bannor "America First"
each ono with a lottor of tho Iegond--raisod
a storm of npplauso as thoy

After tho Wymoro band enmo fifty
more automobiles. Every car In tho
parado wns streaming with flags and
bunting. Sons of tho Amorlcnn revolu
tion wero represented by two mounted
men In colonial costumes.
A dozen negroes marched In tho lino
with tho banner "Wb'ro not slackers;
we're Americans."
Twenty-flvo automobiles ended the
procession, which was over a mile
long, and took half an hour to pass a
given point.
the Semi-centennial
Visitors from All Over the State Gather
to Celebrate It.
Nebraska's semi-centennial celebra
tion drew an Immense crowd from all
over the stato. Tho historical oxhlbit
at the city auditorium was filled with
interested visitors and alumni day at
tho stato farm drow many former uni
versity peoplo. A pioneers' meeting
at St. Paul church was a mecca for
many who llko to live for a few hours
each year in the past. Auto racos
woro pulled off at tho fair grounds
Tuesday evening the "Pageant of No
braska" was put on at tho fair grounds
coliseum.
For tho period of tho seml-centonnlal
celebration tho auditorium was filled
with relics of pioneer days in No
braska, which wore Inspected with in
terest by the pioneers, their children
and grandchildren not only pictures,
letters and possessions left by early
statesmen who wero prominent in Ne
braska's early beginning but articles
common to the dally life of every early
settler in the state. Timo has con
verted the utterly commonplace of
fifty years ago into the treasured of
today. When tho silver anniversary
was celebrated twenty-five years ago
there was no exhibit of relics. The
celebration of the golden anniversary
of the state, together with Impending
changes and tho rapid passing of the
ploneerB definitely divides the past
from tho future.
The larger part of tho pioneer ex
hibit is owned by tho state histori
cal society which has been recolvlng
donations and making collections for
years. A largo exhibit brought in by
Cedar county will be turned over to
tho society. The woman's rollof
"orps, tho Daughters and. Sons of the
American Revolution have exhibits
and thore aro largo numbers of small
Individual collections. During tho In
spection of tho curios Tuesday morn
ing a lino of pioneers stood waiting
to register and the state historical
socloty will keep a list of nil those
visiting tho exhibit for comparison
fifty years from now.
Patriotism becauso of fifty years of
successful statohood now minglos with
a newer patriotism, concern for the
future. Acknowledgment of things
dono well by a stato. during Its fifty
years' oxlHtonco, Is palrod with the
acknowledgment of greater things to
bo done. Tho colobratlon of No
braska's semi-contonnial Is also a loavo
taking for Nobraska's sons leaving for
tho front. Nobraska Is proud of hor
standing among statos, and proud of
tho response by her sons to tho call to
colors. While bands were plaving
about tho city recruiting was active
at army and navy centers.
Tho old flag polo originally fifty foot
high, set up at tho establishment of
Fort Kearney in 1848 and which was
roscued from tho mud and water
where it was rotting ten years ago, Is
an interesting part of the exhibit. It
is now broken off near tho ground.
A collection donated to the society
by A. M. .Bowling of Hastings include
a cacho of flints plowed up at Repub
lican City and tho only wool cards
preserved from tho early settlers. This
collection contains Innumerable Indian
arrowheads and other curios.

Governor Noville has deceived $9,
525 from tho federal government, tho
amount bolng the quarterly payment
to tho state for tho support of stato
homos for soldiers. Tho government
pays tho state at tho rato of $100 a
year for each mombor of the state

follows: For tho home at Grand
