COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Auk. 3.
Tbo principal feature of tho Colorado
quarto-centennial celebration In this city
Friday was nn address by Theodore Roose
velt, vlco president of tho United States, on
tho Rrowth of tbo west during tho last
quarter of a century.
On his arrival In the morning Colonel
Roosevelt was wejeomed by (lovernor Or
man and staff, veterans, Rough Riders,
school children and many others. At 10
o'clock ho was escorted to North Park,
where ho pnko In the open olr to nn ns
scmhlago of 10,000 people, who gave him
nn enthusiastic reception nnd frequently
Interrupted him with applause.
ItonniM pII'n Spi'l'fll.
Mr. Roosevelt spoko us follows:
This anniversary, which marks tho com
pletion by Colorado of her first quarter
century of statehood, Is of Interest not
only to her, not only to her sisters, tho
states of tb; Rocky mountain region, but
to our whole country. With tho exemption
of tin- ndmlsslnn to statehood of California
no other event emphasized In uch drama. lo
fashion the Mil meaning or tho growth of
iiur country us did the Incoming of Colo
rado. It Is n law of our Intellectual develop
ment that the greatest and most Important
truths, when once we have become thor
oughly familiar with them, often because
of that very familiarity, grow dim In our
minds. The westward spread of our peo
ple across this continent has been so rapid
and so great lias been their succes.i In
taming the rugged wilderness turning tho
gray desert Into green fertility and tilling
thn waste and lonely places with the eager,
thronging, crowded life of our Industrial
civilization, that wo linve begun to nctvpt
It all as part of tho order of nature. More
over, It now seems to us rnjnlly a mutter
of course that when n sulllclent number if
the citizens of our common country have
thus entered Into and taken possession of
Home great tract or empty wilderness they
should be permitted to cuter the union iih h
state on an absolute equality with the older
states, Having the same right both to man
age their own local affairs as they deem
best, .mil to exercise their full share of
control over nil the affairs of whatever
kind or sort In which the nation Is Inter
ested as a whole. Thn youngest and tho
nlilcnt states stand on an exact level In ouu
Indissoluble nnd perpetual union.
I'm ely Ainc rli'im Development.
To u.i nowadays Iheso processes neem so
nut j nil that It Is only by a mental wrench
that wo concelvn or any other possible.
"Yet they are really wholly modern and of
purely American development. When, u
century before Colorado became a state,
tho original thirteen states began the great
experiment of u free nnd Independent re
public on this continent, the processes
which wo now accept In such matter-of-counio
fnshlon were looked upon as abnor
mal nnd revolutionary. It Is our own suc
cess hero In America that has brought
about tho complete alteration In feeling.
'1 ho chief lactor In producing tho revolu
tion, and later in producing tho war of
161'.', was the Inability of tho mother coun
try to understand that tho freemen who
went forth to conquer a continent should
be encouraged in that work, and could not
and ought not to bo expected to toll only
tor the proilt or glory of others. When
tho III si continental congress assembled
the British government, like every other
government of Kurope at that time, simply
did not know how to look upon the general
question of the progress of the colonics
save from the standpoint of tho people who
bad stayed at home. Tno spread of tho
hardy, veuturesomo backwoodsman was to
most of the statesmen of London a matter
of anxiety rather than or pride, and the
anions Quebec net of 171 was In part de
signed with tho purpose of keeping tho
l'lugllsli-Hpeuklng settlements permanently
cast of the Allcghenles and preserving tho
mighty and beautirul valley of tho Ohio ns
a hunting ground for savages, a preserve
for the great fur trading companies, nnd
as late as 1S12 this project was partially re
vived. .Sternly Vetvnril firowtli.
Moro oxtrnordlnnry still, even nfter Inde
pendence was achieved und a tlrm union
accomplished under that wonderful docu
ment, tho constitution adopted in I'd), wo
still see traces of tho samo feeling linger
ing hero and there in our own country.
There were plenty of men In the seaboard
stales who looked with what seems to us
ludicrous apprehension at tho Hteudy west
ward growth of our people. Oravo senators
nnd representatives expressed dlro fore
boding as to the ruin which would result
trom admitting tho communities growing
up along tho Ohio to a full equality with
the older states; nnd when Loulslnua was
given statehood they Insisted that that
very fact dissolved tho union. When our
people had begun to settle in tho Missis
blppl valley Jcttersnn himself accepted with
equanimity the view that probably it would
not 1)0 posslblo to keep regions so In
finitely remoto as tho Mississippi and tho
Atlantic coast in the same union. Later
even such a stanch union man and tlrm be
liever In western growth as fearless old
Tom lienton of Missouri thought that it
would bo folly to try to extend the na
tional limits westward of tho Rocky moun
tains. In IS) our then best known man
of letters nnd historian, Washington Irv
ing, prophecled that for nges to como tho
country upon which we now stand would
lie inhabited simply by roving tribes of
nomntis.
Now St ii ten nn 'IVntx Are I'Kelieil.
Tho mental attitude of all theso good
peoplo need not surprise anybody. There
was nothing In the past by which to Judge
either tho task boforo this country or tbo
way In which that task wan to be done. As
Lowell finely said, on tills continent wo
have made new states as Old World men
pitch tents. lQvon the most fnrseclng states
men, those most gifted with the Imagina
tion needed by really great statesmen,
could net at llrst grasp what tho process
really meant. Slowly and with Incredible
labor tho backwoodsmen of the old colonies
liewed their way through tho dense forests
from tho tidewater region to tho crests of
tho Allcghenles. Rut by tho tlmo the
Allcghenles wero reached, about at tho
moment when our national life began, the
movement had gained wonderful momen
tum. Thenceforward It advanced by leaps
nnd bounds, und the .frontier pushed west

rapidity until tho day cutno when

Insoluble. t I'lirope.
Under nny governmental system which
was known to Kuropo tho problem offereii
by tho westward thrust, across n con
tinent, of so masterful und liberty-loving u
race as ours would have been Insoluble.

(lent Typical Worlc.
You. tho men of Colorado, and above all,
the elder among those whom 1 am now nil
dressing, have been engaged In doing the
great typical work of our people, have
only the preservation of the union Itself no
other task has been so Important us the
conquest and settlement of tho west. This
conquest und settlement has been the stu
pendous feat ot our raco for tho century
that has Just closed. It stands Hiipremo
among all such feats, The samo kind of
thing hus been In Australia and Canada,
but upon a less Important scale, while the
Russian advance In Siberia has been Incom
parably slower. In all the history of man
kind there Is nothing thnt qultu parallels
tho way In which our people have filled a
vucant continent with self-governing com
monwealths, knit Into one nation. And of
ull this marvellous history perhaps tho most
wonderful portion Is that which deals with
the way In which tho I'nclile coast und the
Rocky mountains were settled.
Tho men who founded these communities
showed practically by their llfework that it
is Indeed theNsplrlt of adventure which Is
tho makir of commonwealths. Their traits
of daring and hardihood und Iron endur
ance aro not merely Indispensable traits
for successful pioneers; they aro also traits
which much go to tho makeup of every
mighty and successful people. You and
your fathers who built tin tho west did
moro even than you thought, for you Hhnped
tnereuy tno destiny or tno wnoio rcpuuuc,
and ns a necessary corollary profoundly In
fluenced the course of events throughout tho
world. Moro and moro ns tho years go by
this republic will find Its guidance in the
thought and action or the west, because tho
conditions oridovelopment In tho west have
steadily tended to accentuate tho pecu
liarly American characteristics of Its people.
There win scant room for tho coward anil
the weakling In tho ranks of the adventur
ous frontiersman; tho pioneer settlers who
llrst broke up the wild prairie soil, who first
hewed their way into the primeval forest,
who guided their white-topped wagons
across the endless leagues of lndlun-huntel
desolation nnd explored every remote moun
tain chain in the restless quest for metal
wealth, llchlud them came tho men who
completed tho wor; they had roughly be
gun; who drove the great railroad systems
over plain and desert and mountain pass;
who stocked th? teeming ranches, nnd un
der Irrigation saw the bright green of tho
alfalfa and the yellow of the golden stubble
supplant the gray of tho sagebrush desert;
who have built grout populous cities, cities
in which rvery art and sclenco or civiliza
tion are carried to their highest point, on
tracts which when tho nineteenth century
hud passed lis meridian were still known
only to the grim trappers and hunters and
tho red lordH ot tho wilderness with whom
they waged eternal war.
Such Is tho record or which wo nro so
proud. It is a record or men who greatly
dared and greatly did; u record of wander
ings wider and more dangerous than thoso
ot tho Vikings; a record or endless feats ot
arms, or victory after victory In the cease
less strlfo waged against wild man and
wild nature. Tho winning of tho west wns
the great epic feat in tho history of our
race.
Just l'lllle In flic 1'llMt.
Wo havo then a right to meet today In
n spirit of Just pride In tho past. Hut when
we pay homage to tho hardy, grim, resolute
men who with Incredible toll nnd risk laid
deep the foundations of tho civilization that
I wo inherit, let us steadily remember that

yet preserve the Iron quality which made
our forefathers and predecessors lit to do
the deeds they did. It will of necessity
find n different expression now, but tho
quality itself remains Just ns necessary as
ever. Surely you men of tho -west, you
men who with stout heart, cool head nnd
ready hand, havo wrought out your own
success and built up theso great new com

of tho fact that if either man or nation

there must bo nn dallying with tho life of

We hold work not ns a curse, but ns a

degree undesirable that we should nil work

nnd for the sake or the real greatness ot
the nation we should In tho fullest nnd
most cordial way recognize the fact that
some of thfl most needed work must from
Its very nature bo unremunorntlvc In a

to which he Is bidden by his own peculiar

he yet honorably fails, why ho Is still en

Wo need, then, tho Iron qualities thnt
muit go with tt no manhood. Wo need th"
positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of
Indomltnble will, or power to do without
shrinking tlio rough work thnt must nhviM
bo done nnd to persevere through the long
days of slow progress or of seeming fnllutc
which always come before any Html tri
umph, no matter how brilliant. Hut wo
need more than these qualities. This coun
try cannot afford to havo Its sons less than
men; lint neither enn It nfford to have th"m
other than good men. If courage nnd
strength nnd Intellect nro unaccompanied
by tho moral purpose, tho mornl sense, they
become merely forms of expression for un
scrupulous force nnd unscrupulous cunning.
If the strong mnn hns not In him tho lift
toward lofty things Ills strength mnkes him
only a curse to himself nnd to his neighbor.
All this Is true In private life and it is no
less true In public lire, ir Washington and
Lincoln hnd not had them the wblpcnr.l
fiber of moral und menial strength, tho soul
thnt steels Itself to endure disnster un
shaken nnd with grim resolve to wrest vic
tory from defeat, then tho one could not
have founded, nor tho other preserved, our
mighty federal union. Tho least touch of
flabblness, or unhealthy softness, In either
would havo meant ruin for tills nation, nnd
therefore the downfall of the proudest hope
or mankind. Hut no less Is It true thnt had
either been Influenced liy self-seeking am
bition, by callous disregard of others, by
contempt fnr the moral law, they would
have diifhed us down into the black gulf
of fnllure. Woo to nil of us If ever iA a
people we grow to condone evil because It
is successful. We can no moro nfford to
lose social and civil decency nnd honesty
thnn wo can afford to lose tho qualities of
courage and strength. It Is the merrst
truism to say that tho nation rests upon
the Individual, upon tho family; rests upm
Individual manliness and womanliness,
using the words In their widest nnd fullest
meaning.

The sporting fraternity tho country over

tho "Omaha Kid," who has fought ns many
battles as r.ny man In tho ring, nnd nil In

latest, from Malachy Ilogan's column of
pugilism In tho Chicago Rccard-Hcrold:
The news has been clrculntcd thnt Oscar
Gardner hns decided to retire from tho
ring It Is probablo that Gardner hns
reached the limit of his endurance. Ho
has certainly tnckled nnythlng nnd every
thing since ho became a professional
pugilist. Ho fought his way up to one of
tho leading featherweights of tlio country
nnd then fought It down. Of Into ho has
been on the toboggan nnd inltnost nny sort
of a fair lighter can put It over him.
Oscar took the loser's curl so often that
tho fight writers begnn to' ridicule him
und ho has now sottlcd dow.n In Omaha,

All men nro deserving of sonic credit nnd
for Gardner It should bo snld tjint ho was
