r t hI tJ d c vry hv w paying honor to men who bear it so modestly You made this discovery bj t b ta ba a course COUnIe that we of America like to feel feelis feelis feelis is distinctly American by keeping your nose Ofie right at the job until you had ac accomplished 8 accomplished what you had determined l to do doIt doIt doIt It has been said that thEt this Is the first presidential recognition of aeronauts since alnee President Pre Washington Well all allI I have to say MY is that I had a predecessor sor SOl who If aeronautics had proceeded p as far when he left office as they have today would not only have gone down under the water in a submarine boat but would have gone up Into the air all in ina Ina Ina a flying flin machine There may be some reasons why some presidents have not figured Jn lii aeronautics I see that these theM gentle gentlemen gentlemen men who have flown in the air are con eon constructed constructed more on the plan piRn of the bird than some of us The Last Step Counts I I II Mr Ir Justice Brown In commenting on the law of patents says in the patent patt nt law It is the last step that counts lounts that is the difference between failure and success and that step you gentlemen have taken I doubt not that whatever improvements are here hereafter hereafter I after made In machines chines heavier than air all the principles that you ou have nave dis discovered discovered covered red and applied and the method of their application will be the basis buls of all successful ful nights flights hI I dont like to think and I decline to think that these instrumentalities that you have invented for human use are to be confined in their utility to towar towar towar war I presume that they will have havo great value in war but I sincerely hope that these machines will wUl be increased in usefulness to such a point that even those thOle of us who now look at them as iiI not for us may count on their ability to carry more than thin passengers In times Umul of peace pea e eYou You planned what you wished to find and then you worked it out until you ou found It ItI ItI itI I congratulate con you on the result 1 congratulate you ou on the recognition you have received from all aU the crowned heads of Europe and I congratulate you yoo that in receiving it you maintained I i the modest and dignified demeanor worthy of American |
