of the capitol itseif In 1793
The president came unattended by
military or uaval alds sod took his
place en the platform, quietly awaiting
the conclusion of the Masonlc geretno-
nies
He was introduced by Speaker Can-
mou, and after a joking appeal to the
speaker to stand Ly him he said lo
part:
“Over a century ago Washington laid
the cornerstone of the capitol in what
was then little more than a tract of
wooded wilderuesa here beside the Po-
tomae. We now find it uecessary to
provide by great additional bulldings
fer the business of the government
This growth in the need for the bous-
ing of the government is but a proof
and example of the way (no which the
ustion has grown and the sphere of
action of the national governuweut Las

may recall the description of the man

could look no way but downward, with
the muck rake io bls band, who was
offered a celestial crowu for his muck
rake, but who would neither look up
nor regard the crown Le was offered,
but centinued to rake to himself the
filth of the Hoor
“In ‘Pligrim’s Progress," the pres!-
dent continued, “the mau with the

Yet be alse typifies the man who jn

very necessary that we should not
fiineh from seeing what is vile and de-
basing. There is fiith on le floor, dnd
it must be scraped up With the muck
rake, and there are times and places
where this service Is the most needed
of all the services that can be per
formed. But the man whe never does
anything else, who never thinke or
speaks or writes save of his feats with
the muck rake, speedily becomes not

“The liar is ne whit better than the

The Hussiao was emphatic io his

“I think this disagreeable act against
me could not have come fron the

does not allow me to suspect that they
