TJTE NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY , MAY 1 , 11)08. ) Cheering Crowds Greet Nation's Chief Executive. OVATION ALONG LINE OF MARCH. Drives Through Principal Streets uud Dines With Lending Citizens. MAKES ADDRESS AT COLISEUM. Congratulates People of Nebraska on Their Material Well Being and Gives Utterance to Patriotic Phrases Be. fore Demonstrative Audience. Omaha , April 28. Ten thousand people wore gathered at the Coliseum last night to hear President Roosevelt. The day had been a trying ona for tlie t entire party , the wind blowing the en tire day , and ut Lincoln a smart rnln- Etonn greeted the president on his ar rival. The dust and sand which blew across the prattles added another un pleasant leature to the Journey , which was one of a circuitous route After leaving Grand Island , the first stop was at Hustings. Falrmount and Crete received short stops and the train arrived at Lincoln at 1 o'clock. After brlet stops at Wahoo and Fre V- mont , the journey was not Interrupted until Omaha was reached at 5 15. Much preparation had been made. In this city for the president's com ing and he was giectcd by probably 60,000 people , who lined the streets on both sides for a mile and a half along the route of the carriage drive. Elaborate decorations of bunting and flags were hung from every building and from every flagstaff In the city "Old Glory" floated proudly. At the Union station the great west arch was festooned with bunting , which sur rounded an immense painting of the president. Another painting , framed In the national trl-colors , was placed over the carriage way through which the president's party passed. At the entrance to the train shed was hung a banner of welcome. The reception committee which met the president was composed of the board of governors of Knights of Ak- Sar-Ben , together with Senators Millard - lard and Dietrich , Governor Mickey , Congressman Hitchcock , ex-Congress man Mercer , Mayor Moores and Gen eral Manderson. Military Escort Is Most Imposing. The military escort was a large one , headed by a platoon of police. It was composed of the Thurston Rifles , Oma ha Guards. Millard Rifles , South Oma ha troop of cavalry , and six companies of the High School cadets. The drive through the city lasted half an hour , coveral of the down town business Btreets being traversed. The entire distance was lined with thousands of people who gave the president a most hearty welcome. From his carriage he nodded his approval. The drive ended at the Omaha club , where a ban quet , lasting an hour and a half , was given the president and his party Covers were laid for ninety persons , among whom were prominent mem bers of the Ak-Sar-Ben and distin guished citizens of the'clty. General Manderson presided and introduced the president. The visit of President Roosevelt had teen long anticipated by the people of Omaha , who were disappointed last fall when his western trip was cut abort at Indianapolis. Muchprepara tion had been made for his visit at this time , and the people turned out In great numbers to welcome htm. His train left at 5 o'clock this morning for a trip through Iowa. After the banquet at the club the president and his party were escorted to the Coliseum , which is two miles from the business portion of the city. Although the start was not made until 8 o'clock , thousands again turned out to cheer the president , and catch a glimpse of his face. When the presi dent reached the big auditorium it was crowded to Its capacity. The building was elaborately decorated In national and Ak-Sar-Ben colors. When the president and his party entered a band struck up "Hall to the Chief , " and the president received an ovation What He Said. His address was as follows : Mr. Chairman , and you. my fellow citizens : It is a great pleasure to come before you this evening. Since Saturday I have been traveling through your great and beautiful state I know your people ; I have been with them ; I have worked with them ; and It is indeed a joy to come here now and see from one end of your state to the other the signs of your abounding prosperity. ( Applause. ) And I feel that the future of Nebraska Is secure There will temporary ups and downs , and , of course , If any of you are guilty of folly , from your own folly nothing can save you but yourself. But if you act as I believe , and trust that you will act , this state has a future before it second to that of no other state In this great nation. ( Applause. ) I address you tonight on the anni versary of the birth of the great silent eoldler Ulysses Grant and I am Clad to have the chance of saying a few words to an audience as this In this great typical city of the west on the occasion of the blrthdav of the greatern western general , the great American general. It is a good thing to pay homage with our lips to the illustrious dead. It Is a good thing to keep In mind what we owe to the memories of Washington ud hit followers , who founded this nilslity republic : to Abraham Lincoln and Mrr.nl and their fellows , who saved It. There la a president hoio to address you this evening because , Gen eral Mamlerson , you and those like you piovcd your tiuth by your en deavor In the years fiom ' 01 to 'Go. ( Appbusc ) Now. gentlemen , I have said that It IB a good thing to pay homage with aur lips to the mighty men of the past , but It IB a far better thing to pay hem < nge that counts the homage of our lives and our deeds. Illustrious mum orles of a nation's past are but curses If- they servo the men of the nation at present ns excuses for shirking the problems of the day. They are bless ings If they serve to spur on the men of now to see that the men act as well In their lime as the men of yesterday did In theirs. Problems of Peace. Each generation has Its peculiar problems ; each generation has certain tain tasks allotted to It to do , Shame to It If It treats the glorious deeds ol a generation that went before as an excuse for Itn own failure to do the pe culiar task It finds ready to Imud We have not got such problems ns those that bended nigh to crushing the shoulders of sad , patient , mighty Abra ham Lincoln. But we have our prob lems A short while ago we had prob Icms of war. Now wo have problems of peace , and upon the way In which we solve those problems will depend whether our children and our chll drcn's chlldien shall look back or shall not look back to us with the venera tlon which we feel for the men of the mighty years of the civil war. Out task is a lighter one than theirs , but It Is an important one. and do It we must if we wish to rise level to the standard set us by our forefathers You in Nebraska have passed through periods of terrible privation , of mis ery and hardship. They were evil times And yet there is no expert ence , no evil that out of It good can not come. If only we look at It right Things are better now. Things can be kept better , but only on condition that wo face facts with coolness and sanity , with clear-eyed vision that tella us what is true and what Is false When things go wrong there is an other tendency In humanity , to wish tc blame some of Its fellows , and that IE the natural tendency and by no means always a wholesome tendency. There Is always a tendency to feel that some how , by some legislation , by the en actment of some law , by the trying ol some patent scheme , things can be made permanently better. Now some thing can be done by law. A good deal can be done by law. Even more can be done by the honest administration of the law ; an administration which knows neither fear nor favor , which treats each man exactly as that man's record entitles him to bo treated ; the kind of enforcement of the law which I think I may promise that you will have while Mr. Knox remains attorney general. But more than the law , far more than the administration of the law , far more depends upon the indi vldual quality of the average citizen That is under providence , the chief factor In working out the salvation of any nation. I say under providence If the hand of the lord Is heavy upon us , if the stars war against us In their courses , if there comes a period of drought or of flood , If there comes pes tilence , If there comes war then It does not lie in finite wisdom and finite courage wholly to avert the disaster Even In such cases something can be done. Your farmers are doing It. As I passed through your state today 1 was struck with the diversification of the crops from what It was twenty years ago , when I first saw Nebraska ( Applause. ) In addition to corn , you have wheat and alfalfa as stanles When you have three the chances are just three to one against there being such a complete failure as when there IB ono. Moreover , when people rec ognize bow tl till each separate kind of soil ; when they recognize that there is , no use in tilling a soil that will yield an average crop once In five years , when they put cattle on it In Btead , by just so much they have mln imlzed the chance of disaster. I do not believe that Nebraska will ever again see such dark days as It saw but a few years ago. Yet , as I said , some dark days will come. You will Buffer at times from the decrees of a mysterious fate , or the folly of your fellows , but putting aside that , It re mains true that the chief factor in winning success for your state , for the people in the state , must be what the chief factor in winning the success of a people has been from the bngln nlng of time , the character of the in dividual man , of the Individual' wom an. No law that ever was devised by the wit of man can make a fool show wisdom , a weakling show strength era a coward be brave. If a man has not got the right stuff In him you can not get It out of him , ( Cheers and ap plause. ) What law can do , what the honest administration of the law can do , is to create and preserve condl tlons under which the man who has sanity , who has courage , who has en ergy and thrift and common sense can use those qualities to the best possible advantage , That IB what law can do. Something , moreover , can be done by co-operation among ourselves. There is not a man here who does not at times stumble , who does not at times slip , and when be does , shame to his fellow who will not stretch out a helping hand. Bach of us at times needs a helping hand. Each of us at times needs some aid , some comfort , and what each of us at times needs , let each of us at all times bo ready to extend. You can help a man if be stumbles , but If ho lies down you can Mt carry hla. If be won't walk ne Is not worth cnrryliiR. If you try you will fall. You won't benefit him , and > < > u viul huil ymirsuh , 'liioro la only ono permanent j , iy In which help ran be glvun to maku It of real good , and that Is In tliu way of helping a man to help himself Help him to develop Iho quality of self-help Help him up and put him In the right path. Help him If ho stumbles , but ho hue got lo work by himself , The other day I listened to a moat admirable sermon In a little Lutheran church up In South Dakota ; the preacher dwelling upon the old famil iar text of faith , hnpa and charity , and upon thu fact that the greatest of nil was charity , hut translating the Greek word which we , I think , rather mistranslate as charity Into the Ger man word for love ; speaking of love ns being the great factor In the better ment of mankind ; love In the family ; love for one's neighbor ; love for that aggregate of neighbors which we call the state. There must bu that gen uine fooling of brotherhood , of love , of desire each to put himself In his neigh bor's place , to try to bunellt that neigh bor. to try to look at affairs somewhat from that neighbor's standpoint. There must be that feeling at the base of our attitude toward our fellows If we are to make our ropubllc the RUCCURH that It will and shall bo iiiiulo. Hut there must bo something more Haul- ness of heart Is a dreadful quality Wo tiecd softness of heart , but wo most emphatically do not need to have It sptoad further and become softness of head We need not only love for our fellows , but he need sanity In showing that love We need to rcc ognlzc how far It Is possible to do good In the way of help , and at what point the effort so to do good results merely In harm alike to us and to the person sought to be benefited. I think that any man who has worked In gient cities with charitable people grows to have almost as great a horror of a cer tain kind of mock phllantluopy , which I might call soup-kitchen phllantluopy as he has for any form of wrong-doing , ns he has even for that detestable and abhorcnt trait of Indifference towards one's fellows. We need sanity as well as love In trying to face the problem of how we can help one another , of how each In striving upward can make his effort to strive upward an aid and not a hindrance to his brother on the right , to his brother on the left Homage Due to Lincoln. I have spoken at the outsol this evening , of the homage we should pay to the memory of Grant. It Is the homage we should pay to the memory of Lincoln , the homage we should pay to _ all of our fellow countrymen who have at any time rendered great ser vice to the republic , and It can be ren dered In most efficient form not by merely praising them for having dealt with problems which now wo do not have to face , but by facing our prob lems in the same spirit In which they faced theirs. Nothing was more note worthy In all of Lincoln's character than the way In which he combined fealty to the loftiest ideal with n thoroughly practical capacity to achieve that ideal by practical meth ods. Ho did not war with phantoms ; he did not struggle among the clouds ; he faced facts ; he endeavored to get the best results he could out of the warring forces with which he had to deai. wnen ne could not get the best , he was forced to content himself , and did content himself , with the best pos sible And what he did in bis day we must do In ours. It is not possible to lay down any rule of conduct so specific that It will enable us to meet each particular issue as It arises. All that can be done Is to lay down cer tain general rules , and then to try , each man for himself , to apply those general rules to the specific cases that come up. Labor and Capital. Our complex Industrial civilization has not only been productive of much benefit , but has also brought us face to face with many puzzling problems ; problems that are puzzling partly be cause there are men that are wicked , partly because there are good men who are foolish or short-sighted There are many such today the prob lems of labor and capital , the prob lems which we group together rather vaguely when we speak of the prob lems of the trusts , the problems af fecting the farmers on the one hand , the railroads on tile other. It would not be possible in any ono place to deal with the particular shapes which these problems take at that time and in that place. And yet , there ore cer tain general rules which can be laid down for dealing with all of them , and those rules are the Immutable rules of justice , of sanity , of courage , of common sense. Six months ago It fell to my lot to appoint a commis sion to investigate Into and conclude about matters connected with the great and menacing strike in the an thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania On that commission I aooolnted ran- resenfatlves of tne church , of the bench , of the army , a representative of the capitalists of the region , and a representative of organized labor They published a report which was not only of the utmost moment be cause of dealing with the great and vital problem with which they were appointed to deal , but also In Its con elusions Initiating certain general rules In so clear and masterful a fash ion that I Wish most earnestly It could receive the broadest circulation as a tract wherever there exists or threat ens to exist trouble in any way akin to that with which those commission ers dealt , ( Applause. ) If I might give a word of advice to Omaha. I should llko to see your dally press publish in full the concluding portion of that report of tho'anthracite coal strike commission , signed by all the members thereof , by those In a DAN CROSVENOR SAYS : "Pe-ru-na is an Excellent Spring Catarrh Remedy I am as Well as Ever.1' HON.

'No one quality will get us out of any difficulty. We need more than one , we need a good many. We need , as I said , the power flrst of each man's honestly trying to look at the problem from his fellow's stand point. Capitalist and wageworkcr alike , should honestly endeavor each to look at any matter from the other's standpoint , with a freedom on the one hand from the contemptible arrogance which looks down upon the man of less means , nnd on the other from the no less contemptible envy , jealousy and rancor which hates another be cause he Is better off Each quality Is the complement of the other , the supplement of the other , and In point of baseness there Is not the weight of the finger to choose between them.

In the first place , honesty , and I use the word In Its widest sense ; honesty , decency , the spirit that makes a man a good hus band , a good father , a good neighbor , and square in his dealings not only with his brother , but with the state. In the first place , honesty , and honesty is not enough. I do not care how hon est a man Is , If ho la timid or a weak ling you can do but little with him An honest man who IB afraid Is of scant use in the community. Honesty , and In addition thereto , courage , hard ibood , manliness , the qualities that make a man fit to go out and do battle In the rough world as it actually Is ( Applause. ) Virtue , you have got to have that. The able , fearless , un scrupulous man who Is not guided by the moral law , Is a ciirfle to be hunted down like the wild beast , and his abil ity , and his courage , whether In busi ness , In politics , or anywhere else , only serve to make him more danger ous and a greater curse , Dut virtue of a. purely cloistered type , the vir tue that sits at home In Its own par lor docs not count. You have got to have virtue , and with It you have got to have the qualities , the virile qual itlcs , that we mean when we say of such a man that he Is a good man , and that he is a man. And courage even joined to honesty is not enough. 1 do not care how brave a man is. how honest he is. If he is a fool you can debut but little with him. Wo must have courage , we must have honesty , but with them both , and guiding them both , we must have the saving grace of common sense.
