Never has oklgenry confronted tta when ourageoUB men did not arise to meet it; when patriots did not put csldo all thought ot mere self and consecrate them selves first of all to tho welfare of their folluwmen. Ethan Allen wan an Inspiring nnd pie- turcsquo flguro. He Was, It la eald "ec- I'cnWIe arid ambitious." He was a pa triot In tho hfglfest and best sense. Ho waa fidelity Itself. Mo wae n toe ot the oppressor and a, lover ot home and kin dred. He was IdysJ to every trujt, noth ing could tempt slim from his allegiance or from profound attachment to his oausci am gratified to know that tho blood oi Ethan Alton runs In tho veins of an Amer ican patriot hero to-day. fhero stands upon tho platform here, a grandson, a lineal descendant of the hero of long years ago. All honor to Ethan Alien! All honor to Ethan Allen Hitchcock. General Ethan Allen made the dom inan, note of his character In his sclzuro of English possessions when hn demanded tho surrender of the British forces "In tho name of the Great Jcho vnh and Co.ntlnen'.nl Congress." This bold stroke for liberty guvo to '.ho name of Allen undying renown. Thousands of tho tons of Vermont have gone Into tho West. Thousands have contributed to tho strength ot alt the great Staleii 111 tho West. They brought among the western peoplo those splendid Ideals which character ized their fathers und mothers; love of home and love of country. There is not to-day a State In tho groat West that Is not debtor to .ho great State ot Vermont. They seem to havo carried Into their new field the splendid habltn they learned in tho valleys nnd upon the mountain sides of this great State. Tho sons of Vermont hnve answered their country's call In every great na tional exigency. It wns left to a son of Vcrmon, to give liberty to the oppress ed In the far Islands of the sen Ad miral Dewey. The sons of Vermont lmve not only rendered conspicuous service upon the Held but they have rendered full and conspicuous service In every department of civil life; they havo been conspicuous in the National Legisla ture. What a splendid array! I eunnot pause 'o recall nil, those most fami liar are: Collnmer and Senator Morrill and Judge Phelps, among those that have passed beyond. One of the Ver mont sons who wrought a high record In the service of his country, I am glad to see here to-day. In the great consti tutional debates In the Senate there was no more powerful voice than that of Mr.Edmttnda of Vermont. Your sons havo gone to otlwr States, havo gathered honors and well they have deserved them. Then, has been, In the last fiuar ler of it een'.ury, no wiser, no better eoun.Hcllor than John A. Kasson, born in Vermont and transplanted to the United Stutes. Then there Is Senator Proctor. As 1 havo said once before whim in Ver mont, I would a great deal rather be with him than ngalnst him. Ho is a good deal easier to convince when you are on his side. Senator Dillingham ts rendering good nnd efficient service to his State. Younger, but with splendid careers be fore them, uro Congressman Foster and his able colleague Haskins. In recounting Vcrmorft's contribu tions to the country and calling the roll of her statesmen, I take pride In It for my father looked back to this State ns he looked to none other, believing' Vermont could not go wrong. Thero seems to bo something In the uupolluU ed air of the Green Mountains which leads to sober Judgment, right think ing and rlgh acting. You havo Tendered everlasting services to tho cause of good government by what you have done hero to-day. That monument will convey to the future its lesson of patriotism. It will toll the future that thosa who erected it were brave and patriotic; that amid universal poaco, no menace at home or from abroad, their peoplo turned from their evolu tions of pcaco to render tliii tribute to a brave, splendid patriot ono whose name will live through ages to come General Ethan Allen of Vermont. f DEDICATORY POEM BY MRS. DORR. The dedicatory poem by Mrs. Julia (!. R. Dorr of Rutland wns another r,r beautiful coinpos.tlons of Vermont's queen ot poets, bin; was most warmly greeted. Mrs. Loir caught tho spirit of the oc. cation and reproduced It in a poem wno.-o lines were now Hill and sweet and now ringing with tho true mattial thrill. As it was feared that the strain of loading in the open air to fo vast an ai-semblage would bo too severe on Mrs. Dorr's voice, her poem was read by Congressman Fos ter. It was as follows: THE VOICE OF THE TOWER. (Julia C. R. Dorr.) Yc have buildcd mo well, ye have buildcd me strong! And the years of my life shall he many and long: O men of to-day, who have given tne birth, My voice snail lie Heard through the con- lines of earth, Now deep as a mighty bell pealing afar, Now clear and triumphant us bugle-notes are, Now Ktiong ns the wind's cry when temp- i sts are out And I lie soul of the Storm-God responds with u shout, Now soft as the murmur of slow-gliding strea me, Or as Love's tender whispers when heard In your dreams! It I'ho mountains shall hear It, nnd echo the strain As they lift tlieir proud heads over valley and plain, And the broad lake, unresting, on waves rolling fire Shall carry my message to river and sea. All its Islands shall listen, ns tranquil they He Locking up day and night to tho fathom less sky; All the forcbts that stretch to tho north and thu west Arc aUin to my soul, I will answer their quest; And one day who knoweth? through cloudrlfts and -bars Sonin strong breath of mine may float up to the stars! in. O men of to-day, who have set nin nn high, lieiieiiih mo tho great rock, above me tho sky, Yo have buildcd inn well; ye have fashion i d my form In the strength Hint does battle with tumult nnd storm! I nin ono with the Ages Their secrets nro mine Slue; you poured on my forehead the chrism divine Aral bade nio outlive yc. For ah, yc must pass Ao tho iniat en tho mountain, tho dew on tho grafs, While 1, I shall llvo while tho Centuries sweep In processional glory from deep unto dcepl IV. Your children, and their children's chil dren shall hear The voice of thb Tower ring loudly and clear! It shall tell them of him In whose honor to-day Drums beat, trumpets blare, nnd the wild bugles play. Bid htm come from Valhalla with eyes bright and bold This fair stretch of earth oneo again to behold, Bringing with lilm his comrade, the valiant and brave Who lived not for fame but their country to save. Ah, they come! They are here! They en compass me round, Though yo see not, and feel not, and hear not u sound! V. Beat louder, O drums! and, ye trumpets, lift high Your jubilant notes till they fill the wldo sky! Shout, freemen! who hold the broad land of their love. The Und they esteemed all things earthly above! They havo come nt your call from the realm where they dwell. With tho Inflnlto hosts who have borne their parts welt, And the great of all climes and all ages nro fuln To Join the loud paeans and swell the re frain. Plodgo them honor nnd fealty! Tell them to-day That they live In your hearts and shall live there alwny! VI. I shall stand on my rock :is the years come and go. And whether the nses pass swiftly or slow, They shall hear the proud story of chival rous youth. Of honour unsullied, of courage and truth, Of patriot ardor, of valor sublime That soars like a bird o'er tho wreckage of time; Of nil souls that undaunted face danger und death, Counting all that life holds as tho gos samer's breath Save the love of the highest the lovo that looks up In the rice of the Highest and dralneth the cup! SECRETARY HITCHCOCK. Secretary of the Intel ior Ethan Allen Hitchcock, n gieat grnndmn of the pa ll lot whore heroism was vteid.iy rum- mcmnr.it.yl, came a the cprvsenlutivc of President Rooevidt and extended na tional congratulation. Mr Hitchcock raid that hi: wrote nn ueeptim 'e to tho om- nuttee which extended him th Invitation to be present. u condition that he would not have tn speak. He i-a;d that he was not a speaker, but that he could not re fuse a response to the rrnny noble sentl mcnts expressed. He sanl that although he represented the President, nn one could take tbc plnce. in the hwrts of the peo pie of Theodore Rooftelt. I!e con irratulated Mr. Van Patten, the Sons of tho American Revolution aj)d.t,ho Laugn tcrs of tho Aroertca.ii Revolution on tho glorious manifestations of patriotism on all sides. He said he would always le gnrd It as one of the pb-ipiintest tvenls of his III to b" present at the dedHli tlou of this ni"nioriiil to one who could count among til -i uchie clients the pull ing of an English officer out of bed be fore he could set his bretches on, to sur render Ticondentga. GOVERNOR HELL. Governor Bell said Vermont Is to be congratulated because it has such a pa triotic society as the Sci.oty of the Sons of the American Revolution and ho added, to the amusement ot thou present, that lie should judg.' it had united with the Daughters ot the American Revolution. Veimont Is henrnri in having such numerous representatives of the United States present to i-peak words of praise for Vermont, of which we are all so proud. In conclusion. Governor Hell said we are honoring Uthan Allen with a ton er on the summit of the nearl y rock and would return homo saying that ho was the high cblcftain of this Yankeo klng- lom. CONGRESSMAN FOSTER. The Hon. D. J. Foster, who spoke for tho rlty, said: Builington congratulates herself first of all because it doesn't rain this afternoon. Fait hanks und fair weath er ate a combination hard to beat. Wo were all deeply grateful when we learned that Vice-President Fairbanks and Mrs. Ii banks and the Honorable secretary ol the Interior would cruco the occasion with Ihdr presence. But if II Is true, us Is commonly report! d, that sometime last night these distinguish! d guests got Into communication by wireless telegraphy with tlio weather bureau at Washington, and caused this wondrous change In the weather, then wc owe them renewed and additional thanks. Hut Burlington felicitates herself tn-day upon the posseshioii of this beautiful spot. We are glad to welcome you hero that you may enjoy Its iieouwes. e ui u proiiu or Its historical associations. We congriitu late omselvrs that Generul Ethan Alleit selected this spot as hie home In his later years. Its selection by him as home reveals an unfamiliar side of his diameter. He wns a. warrior, a Rreat leader, und his anion in milking tills his home proves conclusively that he had nn eve foi tne neaiiiiiin. euuuoL i-un eelve that he selected this place from the. Rtandnolnt of mere utility. These rocks ind cliffs were worm nut little for agri cultural purposes. As no examined tnet-e ueres he saw as nn turned tn tne west the noble lake which for centuries had hceii the great thoroughfare, and which was discovered by the great French ex plorer. Beyond he saw tne noma moun tains towering one above another. As ho turned to the east he saw tho winding river, the bautlful valley, tlio command tne hills, and ngiu" tno towering nioun tains. Ftoni his earliest manhood he hid breathed In the wild lreednm of mountain and forest. He nau gatiiereti sirengui from tint hills, und all unconsciously per haps he hud devdopoil the lovo of the beautiful. But tliero Is nndlher reason why the people of Burlington felicitate themselves to-day. You remember how It was written centuries ago of u certain class that having eyes they sen nut. This Is true of most of us today. It la only tho few who really aeo. Tho great majority of us soo' only those things that nro pointed out lo us by the keen eyed few. The artist sees tho picture that will Immortalise his name long before lie transfers It to tlt. ennvuu for us tn Bee.
