every president since the late mr harrison the president in his speech said 1 I trust I 1 need hardly bay how great Is my pleasure at speaking in this historic capital of your historic state the state than which no other has contributed tri buted so largo a proportion to the leadership of the nation for on tho honor roll of those american worthies whose greatness Is not only tor the age but tor all not only tor one nation but for all the world on this honor roll virginias name stands above all others and in greeting all of you I 1 know that no one will grudge my saying a special word of acknowledgment to the veterans of the civil war A man would indeed be but a poor american who could without a thrill witness the way in which in city after city in tho north as lu the south on every public occasion the men who wore tha blue and the men who wore tho gray now march and stand shoulder to shoulder giving tangible proof that we are all now in fact as well as in name a reunited people a people infinitely richer because of the priceless memories left to all americans by you men who fought in the great war think of it oh my countrymen think ot the good fortune that ia ours that whereas every other war of modern has left feelings of rancor and bitterness to keep asunder the combatants ba tants our great war has left to the bons eons and daughters of the men who fought on whichever eido they fought tho same right to feel the keenest pride in the great deeds alike of the men who fought on one side and of the men who fought on the other great though tho meed of praise which Is due the south for abs tbs ly valor her sons displayed during the four years of war I 1 think that even greater praise as due to glicr for what her people have accomplished in tho forty sears of peace which followed for 40 years the south has made not merely a courageous courage ou but at times a desperate struggle a she has striven for moral and material well being her success has been extraordinary and all citizens of our common country should feel joy and pride in it only a heroic people could work successfully with the conditions which the people of the south met face to face at the end of the civil war there had been utter destruction and dimasi ter ana wholly new business and social problems bad to be faced with the scantiest means the economic and political fabric had to be readjusted in the midst of diro want of grinding poverty for twenty years the struggle was hard and at times doubtful then the splendid qualities of your manhood and womanhood told as they were bound to toll and the wealth of your extraordinary natural resources began to show now the teeming riches of mine and field and factory attest the prosperity of those who are all the stronger because of the trials and struggles through which this prosperity has come though loyal to your traditions and memories you also stand loyally for our great common country of today and our common flag symbolizes all that Is brightest and best and hopeful tor tho future of mankind you face the new aee in the spirit of the age alike in your material and in your spiritual and intellectual development you stand abreast of the foremost in the worlds progress if we treat tho mighty memories of the past merely as excuses for sitting lazily down in the or for standing aside from the rough work of the world then theao memories will prove a curso instead of a blessing but it we treat them as we should we shall treat them not as excuses for inaction but as ancen alvesi to make ua show that we are worthy of our fathers and mothers then lu truth the deeds of the past will not have ben wasted tor they shall bring forth fruit a hundred fold in tho present generation in foreign affairs we must malra up our minds that whether we wish it or not we are a great people and great part in the world ahat play a our clelon in the world should be ono of peace but not the peace ot cravens the peace granted contemptuously to those who purchase it by surrendering the right no our buirt h for peace IP cause it is raised for righteousness first and for peace only as the band maid en of righteousness we must be scrupulous in respecting the rights of the weak and no les careful to make it evident that wo do not act through fear of the strong we must be scrupulous in doing justice to others and scrupulous in exacting justice for ourselves we must beware equally of that sinister and cynical teaching which would persuade us to disregard ethical standards in international re latsons and of tho no less hurtful tolly which would stop the whole work of civilization by a well meant but silly persistency in trying to apply to peoples unfitted tor them those theories of government and of national action which are only suited for the ewt advanced races in particular we must remember that in undertaking to build the panama canal wo have necessarily undertaken to police the seas at each end of it this means that wo havo a peculiar interest in the preservation of order in the coasts and islands of the caribbean I 1 firmly believe that by a little wise and generous aid we can help even the most backward of the peoples in these coasts and islands forward along the path of orderly liberty ao that they can baand alone if we decline to give them such help the result will be bad both for them and for us and will in the end in all probability cause us to face humiliation or bloodshed americans all alike fredericksburg va oct 18 president roosevelt made the first stop on his southern trip at
