It Is unimportant tr a man lives north or south east provided he Is genuinely and In t filth an American that he feels part of the United States as his m ml that he Is honestly desirous to 4 the

virtues Include the power of self hetp together with the helper anti joining l t hllf others for mutunl thi iVi what l s Pelaly Important the fellowship feeling of comradeship of social good tP Any man who had the Rood fortune Vui to live among the old frontier tore ltfona must In looking back how vital wa this realize feeling ot general nmr lrlg comradeship and social fellowship There are good men and bad I mmeil rd men In the newI communities Just as In the old communi UPS and the conditions on tho frontier were such that the quaUtlee of the goOd and bad aUk were rather more strikingly manifested than In older communities wu among the men who tried to lead hardworking decent lives there was a feeling of genuine democracy which rep resented an approach to the American i thhe Ideal which we certainly should do ev erythlnR In our power to preserve We rs did not try to say that men were equal when they were not equal but wo did our best to secure something like an equality of opportunity and an equality of reward for good service and moreover each man expected to be received and on th eo whole was received wherever he went on the footing that his merits warranted war-ranted Now so far as possible I these qualities and conditions 8t t5S bring about these qualities should be kept In the great states which are growing out of 0th old frontier communities We need to strive for tho general social betterment of the people l as a whole and yet to encourage Individual liberty and set high reward crl Yltlani on Individual Initiative up to the point where they become detrimental to the general welfare Wrong Doers and Wrong System In continually and earnestly striving for this betterment of coclal and economic conditions In our complex Industrial civilization civi-lization we should work In the old frontier fron-tier spirit of brotherly comradeship and Rood will I do not mean that we should refrain from hating wrong on the contrary con-trary I would preach flrey wrath against wrong But I would not preach such wrath against the wrongdoer save In those cases where his wrongdoing really Is due to evil moral attributes one on-e part and not to a wrong or false system sys-tem of which he Is almost as much the victim ns the beneficiary Sometimes a wrong represents the deliberate wickedness wicked-ness of the wrongdoer In which rase the remedy Is to punish him but sometimes some-times It represents the effects of a false social system In which cue the right course Is to alter what Is false In the system Doth principles need to be kept In view as guides to nur conduct and It Is necessary sometimes to work In accordance ac-cordance with one and sometimes In accordance ac-cordance with the other Before ending I wish to say a word on something which I believe should especially espe-cially Interest all men who live In the open country nnd especially all men who during the past thirty years have lived and worked on ranches or have done their life work In the wilder parts of our land on the great plains or among the mountain The phase of our national life In which the stockman the mining prospector were the chief characters was Important but also avery not only n very very picturesque phase Often such a phase passes without any great artist arising to commemorate It The oldtime backwoodsman for instance In-stance the man of the back country who lived In the eastern forests through which the waters ran eastward to the Atlantic and westward to the MtsVaslppI without any painter or passed away sculptor arising who possessed at once both the keenness of vision to see what a vital and picturesque figure the backwoodsman back-woodsman was and the genus adequately adequate-ly to present that figure The artist who backwoodsman of the saw that plcturesqucness woodsman lacked the genius adequately It while the artists of commemorate to had real ability unfortunately had their eyes turned toward Europe and lacked
