GDL ROOSEVELT GUEST
iTHT
Chief Speaker at Luncheon Realizes
There's a Deal of Human Nature
-.: in Mankind.
' .Cambridge. Mans., June .10. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, guest and host
liV one, brought vigor and ambition 1
commencement day at Harvard uni
versity, yesterday. His presence at
tho hfail of the . tahle at the com
wu-ueemeut luncheon In Memorial hall
was a token that he was host by virtue
of his ofltce aa president of tho alumni
association.
other distinguished guests also were
vlthin tho university walls and when
4he great audience saw Governor
-Hughes of New York stand up to re
elve an honorary degree it burst into
i lit ers and applause. J. Pierpont
Morgan, the New York financier and
general Horace Porter, former am
bassador to France also were awarded
honorary degrees. Nearly a thou
sand young men received their diplo
mas. Tn opening the alumni meeting Col
onel Roosevelt after expressing his
thanks for the honor conferred upon
him in making him president of the
association said:
came here with an Increased
friendship and good will for other
countries. I have visited many differ
ent nations, and the more 1 see of de
cent people of other nationalities, the
more I realize that there is a deal of
human nature in mankind. A good
mini is a good man anywhere, and n
eeoundrel ougrt to be made to pay
the penalty of his scoundrelism what
ever his birthplace or nationality. And
yet, with that feeling there has come
a constantly Increasing understanding
on my part of the fact that the man
who wishes to be a gooil citizen of the
world must first and foremost he it
good citizen of his own nation.
"No man ought to receive or will
receive- respect abroad unless as ;in
American he has won his spurs in
American life at home. 1 trust I need
not say I apeak in no spirit of mere
chauvinism. On the contrary, I speak
as a man who is more than ever con
vinced that to be useful to the world
at large It is necessary, first to be
bone of your bone and blood of your
blood, a citizen of your own country,
feeling with your own countrymen,
able to do your duty to the fullew
extent In dealing with the problems
that your fellow countrymen have to
solve. . . .;. .
"It Is Important that this university-
should turn out scholars. It Is more
Important that it should turn out men
able to do to the fullest extent what is
required of them by the complex needs
of American citizenship, and remem
ber always that your power to show
respect to others will largely depend
upon your own self respect.
'""was struck by two things every
where thtit I traveled abroad. One
was that the name America stood as a
golden symbol of hope for all who felt
that they were downtrodden. On the
other side I found everywhere a cer
tain dishonored sense that we had not
come up to our ideals as there was
ground for believing that we ought to
have come; that we had not achieved
them; and every instance of corrup
tion, or demngoguery, of the unjust
abuse of wealth, the unjust use of
wealth to the detriment of the public,
or to the improper acceptance byvthe
public that mere wealth of itself con
stituted a claim to regard in the com
munity,' every instance of brutal mate
rialism, on our part, every time that it
was made evident that the attitude of
this country was such as ought to be
the attitude of a democracy rounded
in the principles upon which ours was
founded every such instance served
to dim the ideui that the name Amer
ican emiimvd up in the minds of
those in foreign lands; every such in-
tance served as an excuse for those
who with a sneer bid mankind halt
where it is. because the ideals that
they have set before us are the Ideals
f dreamers only.
"Now, you Harvard men here, jnu
men of America it you want to i-.ee
that your house is put In order for
yonf own sakes , I -suppose It would be
useless to ask 'u to put it in order
for the sake of other men; .and yet I
cannot imagine a more stirring appeal
from those who In other lands haven't
had the treatment to which they are
In Justice entitled. Who appeal to us'
to manage our republic according to
the highest standards of morality and
decencv, so that they can keep un
shaken their faith in a realizable
Idtal."

Tuberculosis Treatment
, - vs. Tuberculosis Cure
There is a vast difference between
a treatment and. a CURE. Sanato
rium, Dietetic and Climatic Treat
ment are beneficial 'in a way. They
"bolster up." But ofttimea give the
consumptive the impression that he is
cured, while the disease has really
been slumbering, and soon gains
headway again, developing more rap
idly. Nature herself tries to heal, but
the disease germs develop faster than
Nature can work, and the result Is
eventually the Jotal destruction of the
lungs. . . V i i ; ! '
Consumptives first think of sanato
ria, w hen seeking a' cure. ' In the
public mind also that seems to be the
one method. , Yet how many people
do you know who have been perma
nently cured by Sanatorium treat
ment? .Statistics seemingly fail to
enlighten on this point. Medicine as
a cure for Tuberculosis la frequently
decried by physicians and consump
tives themselves, but when the mak
ers of Eckman's Alterative can pro
duce irrefutable testimonials and affi
davits made by those who have been
cured, few. reasonable, broad-minded
consumptives will refuse to listen to
the new oall of health and happiness
that is made by Eckman's Alterative.
Those cured people were skeptical.
Everyone is. Hut if your present
treatment Is not curing you, Is it ef
fective? No! The disease must be
eradicated entirely.
