The President's Speech. Here the president, having been in troduced by Hon. Harry St. George Tucker, spoke in part as follows: Wo have met today to celebrate the opening of the exposition which Itself commemorates the first permanent set tlement of men of our stock in Vir ginia, the first beginning of what has since, become this mighty republic, Three hundred years ago a handful of Bngjish adventurers, who had crossed the ocean in- .what, we should ,vcaH cockle boats, an. clumsy as they were frail, tended In ther great . wooded wilderness, 'the Indian haunted waste, e ; , ur.

It Is our business to put a topi to abuse, and to prevent their re currence, without showing a ripirlt of tncre ylndirtlveaess for what has been dope in tho past. In John Morley's Brilliant ' sketch of Burket he lays Special stress upon the fact that Burke, more than almost any other thinker or politician of his time, realized the profound lesson, that in politics we are concerned, not with barren rights, but with duties, not with abstract truth, but with ' practical morality. He . ep- peclally eulogizes the way In which his r "efforts ' for economic - reform. Burke combined unshakable resolution In pressing the. reform, with a pro found temperatures of spirit, whlah made him, while bent on the extraction of the evil system, refuse to cherish an unreasoning, -and' vindictive 111 will to ward the men who had benefitted by It Said Burke, "If I cannot reform with equity, I will not reform at all. There is a state to preserve, as well as a, state to reform." : This la the exact spirit in which this country should move to the reform of corporate wealth. The wrong-doer; the man who- swindles and cheats, whether on a big scale or a little one, shall re ceive at our hands mercy as scant as if he committed crimes of violence or brutality.
