propriation for the navy requested by the administration. Senator Lodge, during the review changed his seat to one just behind the president. Laughingly, the presi dent turned to him and said, so that Senator Bacon might hear it: "You should have seen Bacon hide his face when the Eilipinos came by. The 'slaves' were rejoicing in their shack les." And then came Capt. Seth Bullock and his "bunch" of cow punchers. It was the time of their life and they were making the most of it. All of them know the president personally and as they passed the stand they' shouCed to him, waved their hats and cheered like wild men. One of their number added interest to the occa sion by lassoing various persons along the route of the parade, includ ing a big policeman. The diversion afforied him and the spectators the greatest delight. After the parade the president received and shook hands with the cowboys. Turning from the pageant -of the day, the doubled population of the city disposed itself for the three im posing Spectacles of the Night, the promenade at the pension office, misnamed a ball; the fireworks on the white lot; and the dazzling street decorations. The attendance at the ball was limited to the twelve or fif teen thousand which the building would hold. The President's Address. My Fellow Citizens: No people o2a earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our -own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blesse I us with the conditions which have en abled us to achieve so large a meas ure of wellbeing and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race, and yet our life has called ior the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues with er away. Under such conditions it would be our fault if we failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confident ly believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vain glory, but rath'er a deep and abiding realization of all which life has of fered us; a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as re gards the things of the body and the -things of the soul. Our Foreign Relations. Much has been given to us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and dut ties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great na tion, forced by the fact of its great ness into relation with the other na tions of the earth; and we must be have 'as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be. one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and and gen erous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a na tion, as in an individual, count most when shoivn not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to rc frain from wronging others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wvish peace; but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak na tion that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong Power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression. Our Domestic Relations. Our relations with the other pow ers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth, in population and in power as this nation has 'seen durin'g the cen +m.., anda quaarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils the very existence of which it was impossible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and intense, and the tremen dous changes wrought by the extra ordinary industrial development of the last half century are felt in every fibre of our social and political be ing. Problems, Old and New. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a dem ocratic republic. The conditions which have told for our marvelous material well-being, which have de veloped to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance, and individual initiative, have 4 brought the care and anxiety inseparable from the ac cumulation of great wealth in indus trial centres. Upon the success of our experiment much depends; not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind. If we fail the cause of free self-gov ernment. throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and therefore our responsibility is heavy to our selves, to the world as it is today and to the generations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is elvery reason why we siould face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching pur pose to solve them aright. Let us be Steadfast. Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserv ed this Republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertaken and these problems faced,' if our duty is to be well done, remains essentially unchanged. We know that self-gov ernment is difficult. We know that no people needs such high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern its affairs alright through the freely expressed will of the free men who compose it. But we have faith that we shall not proVe false to the memories of the men of tahe migh ty past. They did their work, they left us the splnedid heritage we now enjoy. We in our turn have an as sured confidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our c'hildren's children. To do so we must show, not merely in great crises, but- in the every day affairs of life, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood and endurance, and above all the power of devotion to a lofty ideal which made great the men who foundei this Republic in the Jays of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this Re public in the days of Abraham Lin coln.

'Bat' and I and several others were in the bunch and we ambushed our man, and when he was within twenty steps we suddenly showed ourselves and ordered him to throw up his hands. "He was on horseback and he promptly drew a revolver. There was nothing else for us to do, and five of us fired, and the bad man tumbled from his pony. We went to -him and found that, while he was badly wounded, he was not dead. He cursed us roundly and then grew sar castic. " 'You are a fine lot of marksmen,' he said. 'If I had fired at a man like that I would have killed him, you bet.' "Masterson seemed grieved at the complaint, and he said sincerely: 'Well, now, don't blame me. I did my best!' Emperor William a Hard Worker. Andrew White in Century. Emperor William is certainly a working man. The record of each of 'his days at Berlin or Potsdam, as given in the press, shows that every hour from dawn to long after dusk brings its duties-duties demanding wide observation, close study, con centration of thought, and ecision. Nor is this attention bounded 'by German interests. He is a keen stu dent of the world at large. At var ious interviews there was ample evi dence of -his close observation of the present president of the UnitedStates and of appreciation of his doings and qualities. NOTICE. Definquent City Tax.
