LINCOLN'S WORDS HIS TEXT President Roosevelt addressed his friends and neighbors at Oyster Bay on the Fourth in an address that thrilled with characteristic utterances. In part he said: "Mr. Chairman and you, my old friends and neighbors, you with whom I was brought up and with whom I have lived for so many years, it is a real and great pleasure to have the chance of being with you today to say a few words of greeting to you and in a sense to give you an account of my stewardship. I say 'in a sense' friends, because after all the stewardship really has to give an account of itself. If a man needs to explain overmuch what he has done it is pretty sure proof that he ought to have done it a little differently, and so as regards most of what I have done I must let it speak for itself. TAKES TEXT FROM LINCOLN. "But there are two or three things about which I want to talk to you today, and if in the presence of dominies I may venture to speak from a text, I shall take as my text the words of Abraham Lincoln which he spoke in a remarkable little address delivered to a band of people who were surrounding him at the White House just after his re-election to the presidency. He said (I quote from memory only): 'In any great national trial hereafter the men of that day as compared with those of this will be as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the" "Now any work done by an artist must largely have its influence upon the life of that man, but the lives of those coming after and just as this was true of the Lincoln's generation, so it was true of those that follow us. We did not fight in the civil war; reaped the immeasurable benefit the courage and self-devotion those who did fight. Had the greeks that passed the president's lipse sour the world would have sided edge. Had these men been coined our heads would be bowed in surrender. So if we of this generation duty, if you men here of middle-aged men with children, if you your duty, by just so much deed add to the weight of the burden that your children shall bear. HONESTY AND COURAGE. "Our duty, first of all, can course for the qualities of honesty and courage. I use honesty in broadest sense; honesty in the of disinterested devotion to right; disinterested devotion ideals of our national life. Have not these qualities first then else shall avail us little. "In 1861 the first qualities were the qualities of which made the citizen resent when at the cost of his own life Union should be preserved; gave him the power to appraise what was meant by lofty devotion to an ideal and the power to put actual fact that devotion. The needed to feel the lift of patriotism first and then he needed the courage to make his patriotism of avail." spoke in a remarkable little address delivered to a band of people who were surrounding him at the White House just after his re-election to the presidency. He said (I quote from memory only): 'In any great national trial hereafter the men of that day as compared with those of this will be as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents of this philosophy to learn wisdom, and not as wrongs to be avenged', and he added later in the speech a touching and characteristic expression of his, saying: 'So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man's breast.' "No, friends, remember that Lincoln faced the greatest crisis that this nation has seen since the Revolutionary war, as great a crisis as the nation can ever face, for it was a crisis which, according to the result, meant national life or national death, and yet with all his firm resolution of purpose, with all the unbending strength of his will, with all the deep-seated intensity and sincerity of belief which alone could have borne him up through the trials such as those had to face, it was yet possible for him to say with entire truth that he bore no malice even toward those who had gone hopelessly wrong; that while endeavoring to ruthlessly cut out the evil he yet did his work without hatred to the doer of the evil; that while never for one moment blinding himself to the truth, to the philosophy of what was round about him, he yet did not treat anything done against him as a wrong to be avenged. He treated the wrong as calling for a remedy, not as calling for vengeance. "CALLS DOWN" AN AUDITOR. "It is in just that spirit that we as a nation, if we possess the power of learning aright the lessons to be taught us by Lincoln's life, will approach our problems of today. We have not got the same problems not which made the citizen resent when at the cost of his own life Union should be preserved; we gave him the power to approve what was meant by lofty devotion to an ideal and the power to put actual fact that devotion. The needed to feel the lift of patriotism first and then he needed the courage to make his patriotism of avail." "There are old soldiers in every other audience that dress and these men know that and foremost it was necessary have the power of love for Union, of love for the nation next that it was necessary to the courage to make that love I do not care how devoted the soldier was to the Union if when crisis came he ran away, his tion did not count; and, on the hand, no actuality of courage avail the man if he had not in him the spur that drove that courage to action, that made the courage avail to his neighbors. REMEDY WITHOUT RANCOR. "We have heard a good dealing the past year or two of frightful iniquities in our poor and our business and the fright wrongdoing in our social life. There is plenty of iniquity in ness, in politics, in our social There is every warrant for our nowledging these great evils. there is no wsrrant for growing terical about them. It is a trick to spend nine-tenths of time in saying that there never such iniquity as is shown in the tion and the remaining tenth ing that we are the most remar nation that ever existed. "We want to be more careful blaming ourselves and more ca in praising ourselves. Overemesis in praise as well as overempire in blame is apt to overreach it just as the man who promises much politically on the stump to strike the balance by perform too little." "It is in just that spirit that we as a nation, if we possess the power of learning aright the lessons to be taught us by Lincoln's life, will approach our problems of today. We have not got the same problems, not as great problems as those with which the men of Lincoln's generation were brought face to face, and yet our problems are real and great, and upon the way in which we solve them will depend whether or not our children have cause to feel pride or shame as American citizens. If Lincoln and the men of his generation, the men who followed Grant in the field, the men who upheld the statesmanship of Lincoln himself in the council chamber, if these men had not done their full duty, not a man here would carry his head high as an American citizen." Hear! Hear! came from the assembled crowd. "Will you stop talking over there" ejaculated the president, pointing to a distant carriage in which some persons were talking. "Is he deaf?" he added, as the conversation continued. "We'll make him dumb also." [Laughter] "Thank you," added the president as the annoyance ceased. work done by any man who have its influence, not of that man, but upon those coming after him; this was true of the man generation, so it will be that follow us. We who in the civil war have ammeasurable benefit of and self-devotion of fight. Had the grapes the president's lips been world would have set on these men been cowards should be bowed in shame. This generation do our men here of middle life, in children, if you fail in just so much do you weight of the burdens children shall bear. TY AND COURAGE. first of all, calls of qualities of honesty I use honesty in the case; honesty in the sense stated devotion to what interested devotion to the national life. If we use qualities first then all till us little. first qualities necessities qualities of the heart the citizen resolute cost of his own life the will be preserved; which power to appreciate grant by lofty devotion and the power to put into that devotion. The man all the lift of patriotism he needed the courage patriotism of avail. no spirit of malignity toward the man who may be responsible for the evils. Put it out of his power to do wrong; if necessary, punish him where he has done wrong, but do not let this nation ever get into the frame of mind, which, under infinitely greater provocation, Abraham Lincoln strove to prevent its falling into at the time of the Civil war. CURB TRUSTS FAIRLY. "This year in congress our chief task has been to carry the government forward along the course I think it must follow consistently for a number of years to come—that is, in the direction of seeking on behalf of the people as a whole truthful government, which represents the people as a whole, to exercise a measure of supervision, control and restraint over the evils and especially over the corporations of great wealth, in so far as the business use of that wealth brings it within the reach of the federal government. "We have accomplished a fair amount, and the reason that we have done so is, in the first place, because we have not tried to do too much, and in the second place because we have approached the case without any spirit of rancor or hatred. "When it becomes necessary to curb a great corporation, curb it. I will do my best to help you do it. But I will do it in no spirit of anger or hatred to the men who own or control that corporation, and if any seek in their turn to do wrong to the men of means, to do wrong to the men who own those corporations, I will turn and fight for them in defense of their rights just as hard as I fight against them when I think they are doing wrong.

It was a trifle past the afterglow of sunset, and the sea was a deep rich purple, with long flowing swells. The sky, a fine light turquoise blue at horizon, gradually deepened into a rich cobalt, in which a few stars twinkled. A majority of the men were absorbed in various occupations below when a call of enthusiasm brought all up on deck. At a point low on the southwest horizon a faint film had arisen, which quickly, silently assumed the form of a curtain, waving and mounting upward in two stately columns past a group of finely shaped cirrostratus. In a few seconds it was across the zenith, displaying beautiful pale yellows, greens and delicate pink and blue lights, with edgings at intervals of faint purple and red. The columns descended rapidly in ever varying spirals of perspective until the avant garde was lost behind the far northwest horizon. We were about off the Danish port of Godthaab, Greenland, a sufficiently southern latitude at this season for the alternation of day and night, and as the heavens darkened the stars shone with increasing brightness through this great shimmering veil of light. The heavens and the sea grew darker and darker, and the aurora brighter and brighter in lightning changes of form and color, with the green and yellow and blue rays predominating and the delicate sheen from the aurora's light writhing in fiery serpent forms over the face of the moving waters. to be more careful in selves and more careful ourselves.

What impressiveness, what magnificence! It held the soul as in a spell. There was not much talking. Splendid as it was, I afterward witnessed auroras which produced a deeper impression, due doubtless to the presence of the long night of the far north—Century. Notice to Creditors Estate of ANNA C.
