THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS. President Roosevelt said in part: "It is. Idle for any man to talk of despairing of the future of this coun try or feeling unduly' alarmd about it, If he will come in conic.it with you here and .with the forcoe that you represent. Fundamentally this country is sound; morally no less than physicallly. Fundamentally, in Its family life and in tlje outside ac tivities of its Individuals the country Is' better and not worse than it for merly was. This does not mena that we are to be excused if we foil to war against rottenness and corrup tion, if we fall to contend effectively with the forces of evil; and they waste their time who .sk mo to with hold my hand -from iallng there with. But it is worth while to smite the wrong forj the reason that we are confident the rlifht will ultimate ly prevail. You who nr training the, next generation are training this country as it is to he a dcart.i or two hence; and while your work In training the Intellect la i;rat. U Is not as great as your work in training character. More thin anything He I want to see the public who"! turn out the boy and girl who when man and woman will' add to the sunt of good citizenship of the nation, 'DIGNTnr'OF LABOR. . "I trust that more! and 'more of . - i. k .v.. wur fJifl will ore lv lb mu i' chbols train 'toward and not away v.s om the farm ond the workshop. We have spoken a great deal about the dignity of labor in this country; Put we nave not actea up to spoken word; for In our education we navo tensed to procea upon ine assumption tnat tne euucaiea man was to ne eciuc.ivea away iroin ana not toward ; labor. "One thing that I would like to have, you teach your pupils is that whether you call tho money gained salary or. wages does , not make any real diffrenc. and that If by working-hard with your hands you get more than if you work with your head only, it does not atone for it to call the smaller amount salary. The term 'dlemty of labor' Implies that nmnual labor is as dignified as men. tal labor; as of course it is. Indeed the highest kind of labor Is that which makes demands upon the quantities of both tend and hand," of heart, brain and body. . , CURSE OF IDLENESS. "We have all of us often heard some good but unwise women say T have worked hard; my daughter shan't work;' the poor woman not realizing that great though the curse mere drudgcrs, of overwork Is, that ft Is not as great as the curse of vapid Idleness; and . it does not tZrXthehobo'at one frAh f,b ,a ?"e first place and then In addition to have it in them to carry themselves that .collectively we may well and fitly perform the great and responnl- ble tasks of American citizenship."

PALZELL DEFENDS T A BIFF NO NECESSITY FOR REVLSIOX Peimsj Iranian Declares That the Is sues In tlie Coming Presidential ' Campaign Will Be the Recrds t the Two Parties, and I pon Repub lican Policies lie Invites Battle Says United States Has Grown to Be tlie Greatest of Mann factoring Nations Under the' Protective Tariff When Revl-ed the Undertaking Would Be by Us Friends, Who Would Revise It In Writ Accord With the Republican Theory of Pro tection. Washington, Feb. 26. An . ex haustive speech in defense of RepuMl-T ran policies was. delivered in t'n House of Represents lives to-day by Mr. Dalzell. of Pennsylvania. . He re ferred to he several political speeches that have ibeen made in the House and sajd that the most noticeable tning in the dlscusHon had been the measure of credit the Democrats art willing to concede to President Roose velt. The issues In the coming campaign for the presidency, Mr. Dalzell as serted, Would be found in the records of the parties and he said: "The Re publican party invites the issue upon every ground,, on that of Its profes sions. Its achievements. Its consistency and its loyalty to principles and pledges." DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. Mr. DalseU declared that the in destructibility of the Union, whie'.t Mr. Cock ran attributed to Aadretv Jackson, was the antithesis of Demo cratlc doctrine unt!! 185. "Until that time," he said Democratic doc- trlne continued to be the doctrine of Kntucky an(, vlrKinla reK)!utl0B), of Je(rergon and Madigon nftmely. not ony that the Union was not inde structlble, but that it represented only la compact from which there existed upon the part of individual States tho . , . t l t , i l. JK II L iu wtwiuraw. Ml, no mu, MT. Cockran was correct in ray'.ig that the Indestructibility of the TJnloa wa Democratic doctrine In U61. "then k. . ' v'" -ow,. the Union, of every vestige of claim that in so doing they believed they were acting within their rights." Wlhen the people of the South made war . on the Union, said Mr. DalzeM. they either believed In the doctrine of the Kentucky and Virginia reolu j tJong or they were inexpressibly wick- ed and deserve the condemnation of history. AS TO TARIFF REVISION. Coming to the subject of the tariff. Mr. Dalzell referred to the (beneficial effects of protection and declared that under It the United States had grown to be the greatest of manufacturing nations. He did nut believe that thero wa-t any necessity for a general re vision of the tariff laws. "I believe, however," said he, "It Is well to rec ognize the claim or those who think; there should be some revision and ho said he was' Inclined to believe that unless there should be a change of at a special cession following imme diately upon the Inauguration of the President., When revised, he said. It would be revised In strict accordance with the Republican theory of protec tion "so as to furnish adequate pro- tertlon to every American Industry ana to tne wage oi "very wuminau. He believed the country needed s maximum and minimum tariff In or der to meet the conditions created by . r,.i nlnnl nce of Democratic legislation on the ..ubJeCt. he declared, did not afford muk hope. SCORES DEMOCRATIC ISSUES.- Democratic principles; Mr. Dalzell asserted, were all embodied In, th "peerless leader," who. he said, still believed In free coinage of sliver, government ownership of railroad", initiative and referendum and Invad ing the rights of the Slates by pas- . saces of a Federal ehtid labor law. Addressing the Democratic side, ho said, "You believe tn htm and I am : viclon ot a difference In your ranks." only sorry mat tnero is even a. sus- In conclusion he said: "Gentle- men. you may nave uissensions in your ranks; there Is no dissension In ours. We are unanimously In favor of the nomination at the Denver con- ventlorr. as the Democratic candidate tor tne presidency 01 me srrat com moner and tbe great uncommoner, William Jennings Bryan." Almost from the moment he began to speak until he closed. Mr. Dalzett was cheered and applauded, tn which at times the Democrats joined, par ticularly when he declared - it to bo well to recognize the claims of thos who think there should be revision, of the tariff. " DOCTRINE OF EXPEDIENCT." , Discussing Mr. Dalzells reference) to the tariff Mr. Houston, of Tennes see, said that gentleman was "golnir to yield to the doctrine of expediency which has ever controlled -the Repub lican party rather than stand on his conviction of whut he believes to bo right." . ' The conditions of to-day. M Hous ton declared, result from half a cen tury of protection, -but the country . riff was now convinced mat mere outni 11 on. "It la not aiita- tion that Is needed.- he asserted, "it . . Is not argument, but it Is exhorts- tion." Mr. Houston presented argument to show that the trusts had grown up and been fostered as the result of the protective tariff system and dis cussing the recent financial distur bance declared that the record would that panics have occurred on ly during the time the .Republican party was in power. Mr. Edward. Georgia, charged thaf Mr. Dalzell claimed everythmiC for the Republicans except t!v panic. "This panic." he said, ad dressing the Republicans, "was born, in your household and why don't you claim your child?" . .' Georgia Negro Leader Mysterkmsly Disappears. Valdosta. G. Feb. 2t.
