"Tho language of this statuo tells what
he fought for peace. To recount his
battles Is to give a history of tho civil
war. He never drew his sword with
out drawing blood and making perma
nent history. His march to the sea
is generally regarded as his greatest
campaign, but this Is an error. It was
a brilliant campaign tho world so
rated It but it did not come up to tho
genius and grandeur of the campaign
Immediately following it, when he car
ried practically tho samo army from
Savannah to North Carolina. That was
tho greatest work of Sherman's life."

address, referred to Booth, Gulteau
and Czolgosz as the "horrid, damnablo
manifestations of our national growth."

greater than ever for boys to get a
practical education an industrial edu
cation and I would rather my own
boy grew up able to build a great
bridgo like the Brooklyn bridge, than
to receive the highest honor that tho
people could bestow upon him. I
hate to hear persons talk In a pessi
mistic strain to tho effect that the day
of opportunity in this country has
gone by and that the chances for a
young man to rise by his own efforts
have passed away. If It is not true;
there is room at the top and there al
ways will be."
