BASED ON MUTUAL REGARD.
Honest Intentions Towards All the

of the Chamber or Commerce. New
York, Tuesday. Besides the foreign
diplomatic the ruest 0f honor em
braced Secretary Hoot. Secretary
Shaw. General .MacArthur. Governor
Odell and Hear Admiral Marker. The
addrfss of the President was followed
with close attention. Mr. Roosevelt
said: "This body stands for the tri
umphs of peae-e uhronel and at home.
I think I can say safely that we have
Khovn by our attitude toward Cuba,
by our attitude toward China, that as
regnrds weaker powers our deairo is
Hint they may be able to stand alone,
anil IT they will only show themselves
willing to deal honestly and fairly
with the rest or .mankind we, on our
side, will do all we can to help, not
l'i hinder, fheni. WHh the great bow
ers of Iho world we desire no rivalry
u.Bi is not honorable In both parties.
We belle ve that the trend of the mod
ern spit It is ever stronger towaret
peace ami friendship as the normal
international attitude. We are glad
i hat we. are cm good terms with all
tbe other pimples of mankind, and no
eilort on our part shall be spared to
st ' iiro it cohtluuuncc of thewi re a-
Hons. The volet- of the weakling or
tho craven counts for nothing when
he clamors ror peace, but the voice of
tbe Just man armed Is potent. We
need to keep In a condition of prepa
ration, especially ns regards our navy,
not because wo want war. but be
cause we eleslre? to stand w Itii those
whose plea for peace Is list, nod to
with respectful attention. In the prob
lems of labor anil capital no patent
remedy can be devlseel for the solu
tion of these grave problems In the
iniiiistrinl world, but thev can ho
solved nt all only if we brln to tho
toiution ceitf.ln old-time virtues, ami
if we strive to keep out or the solu
tion somo pi the most familiar and
most undesirable of the tilftits to
which mankind has owed untold de
gradation and suffering throughout
the ages. Arrogance, smniclun. bru
tal envy ol the well-to-do, brutal lu
difference toward those who are not
well-to-do, the hard refusal to con
sider the rights of others, the foolish
refusal to consider the limits of bene
ficent action. From these and from
ull kindred vices this Nation must be
kept free If It is to remain in its pres
ent position in the forefront of thn
peoples of mankind. Good will com?
even out of the present evils If we
fare them armed with the old homely
virtues; If we show that we ara fear
less of soul, cool of head and kindly
of heart; If. without betraying the
weakness that cringes before wrong-
dulng. we yet show by deeds and
words our knowfcde that In such a
government, as ours each of us must
bo In very truth his brother's keeper.
The continuance of prosperity de
