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

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. )

Bfiuso identified with capital , organized

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

alike , should honestly endeavor each
to look at any matter from the other's

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

Is the complement of the other , the
supplement of the other , and In point
of baseness there Is not the weight of

Any man who tries to excite class

any kind of hatred in our community ,
though he may affect to do It in the In
terest of the class he Is addressing ,
Is In the long run with absolute cer
tainty that class's own worst enemy
In the long run and as a whole we arc
going to go up or go down together.
Of course , there will be Individual
exceptions , small , local exceptions , ex
ceptions in kind , exceptions In place ,
but as a whole If the commonwealth
prospers , some measure of the prosper
ity comes to all of us. If it Is not pros
perity , then the adversity , though It
may be unequally upon us , will weigh
more or less upon all. It lies upon our
selves to determine our own fate.
I can not too often say that the wis
est law , the best administration of the
law , can do naught more than gtvo us
a fair field In which to work out that
fate aright. If as Individuals , or as a
community , we mar our future by oui
own folly , let us remember that it is
upon ourselves that the responsibil

lieve that you arc strong In body and
strong In mind , and that you have
what counts for more than body , more

which so many elements enter , but
three above all. 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

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

An honest man who IB afraid Is of

and In addition thereto , courage , hard

have virtue , and with It you have got
to have the qualities , the virile qual

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
