Show OV ATtON f > TO ROOSEVELT Continued from page Inn If I-nn man seeks to Impress a portion por-tion of our people with the belief that he will benefit them by hurting somo j one else that ho can bring aid to them i by doing damage elsewhere In our country you cannot afford to trust him for his counsels Inevitably lend to disaster Applause In the East they cannot prosper un less the Vest prospers nor the West have its share of prosperity unless It comes to the East also North South East and West yu are bound logeihcr I and It rests with us only to decide whether we shall oil sink or all rise PROGRESS THE ISSUE j And now my fellowcountrymen hero at the beginning o a new century cen-tury nt the beginning ofa century thai will see greater changes than any the world has yet scent wo have to I decide for ourselves whether this Na lion which has gone so far forward In the century that has passed is to strive still further forward or Is to I halt to shrink In craven fear from the past and to take Its place outside the arena In the great world powers striv ing for the supremacy of the world not necessarily the supremacy of arms 1 pray it may never come to that test but that If It should ever come this people may rise to the need as this country rose in 61 as we were ready to rise two years ago only that a great task lies before us the task of bringing liberty orderly liberty liber-ty to the world of teaching the wOrld that freedom can be combined with law with all that goes with law Let us remember ever that a ton of ora tory is not worth a pound of action that a ton of promise Is worse than wasted If It Is not followed by a sufficient suffi-cient quantity of performance Ap plause We have heard a real donl u tf nMv of the Declaration of Independence u of the doctrine of government without tho I consent of the governed of each mans right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness That doctrine was enunci ated In 1770 It was a great thing that It should then have been held up as an Ideal toward which the world should strive But more than seventysix years went by before that doctrine was put Into actual effect It was threequar ters of a century after Thomas Jolter son said It that Abraham Lincoln did I It threequarters of a century before the promise was completely made good by the performance Mind you that does not alter the fact that It wns well to have said it It was impossible to reach the Ideal at once In healthy growth you do not go by bounds but I by steps The steps may at times be come long strides but they are steps always and It would have been worse I than folly for the men of 70 to have thrown away the chance of doing what they could do merely because It I was not Ideally the best thing that could I possibly have beeh done LIBERTY FOR FILIPINOS I jvow our opponents talk of liberty In the Philippines The Filipinos shall have liberty They shall have a marts ure of liberty of which the they have bqfen l In absolute Ignorance throughout tho ages they shall have such liberty as they never could know under the ty rannical and bloodthirsty oligarchy their own brother They shall have liberty but they shall have it under the American flag Great applause We would be false not only to our selves but id the islanders j we wptild be false to the people of the Philippine Islands If we were now to shirk our duly and turn the Islands over that ihe people might work their wicked will one upon another that anarchy might grow ever more profuse ever more bloody until some stronger nation somo Ql1f I rlt br Jr o ler
