Presldent Roosevelt Greeted
Wlth Enttiusiasm.
Buslnes8 Practlcally 8uspended and
Nearly the Whole Populatlon Llned

Processlon The Officlal Welcome
Was Made by the Qovernor and
Mayor of the Clty,
Richmond, Va. Roosovolt day ln
Richmond broko wlth loworlng clouds,
but by 10 o'clock the brlgh$ October
sun shono ln a clear sky.
Buslnoss was practlcally suspended
nt 11.30 o'clock and nonrly tho wholo
populatlon waa on tho streot gath-
ered at tho statlon or llnlng tho slde
wnika nlong tho roUto announccd for
the processlon.
The decoratlons of tho bulldlngs,
publlc and prlvate, wero profuso, ln
many lnstances portralts of the Presl
dent bclng dlaplayed.
At 12 o'clock sharp, the presldontlal
traln pulled lnto the Maln strcet sta
tlon, In whlch tho rccoptlon commlt
teo had gathored.
Gov. Montague, Mayor McCarthy
and Capt. W. H. Curtla boarded the
Presldont's car and formally welcomed
hlm to Richmond. Then tho Presl
dent was escorted to the speaker's
stand ln Capltol square.
The processlon was headed by a do
lall of pollco and conslsted of tho VI r
glnla mllltary Instltute cadet corps,
17th regt. Vlrglnla lnfantry, Richmond
Hght lnfantry blues, cltlzens' mount
ed escort, tho Presldent, govornorand
mayor in carrlages, and the reception
commlttee and clty councll In car
rlages. The llne of march was through
some of the prlnclpal streets to the
wostern part of tho clty and return to
Capltol square. All along the route
tho Presldent was enthuslastlcally
cheered.
When the processlon v arrlved at
Capltol square, the Presldent and par
ty called at the executlve manslon
and pald thelr respects and then re
palred to the speaker's stand, whlch
was faced by one of the greatest mul
tltudes ever assembled in Richmond.
Mayor McCarthy presented the gov
ernor, who ln a brlef and most com
pllmentary speech, the sentlments of
whlch were cheered to the echo, ln
troducod tho Presldent, who spoke ln
part as follows:
"I trust I need hardly say how great
ls my pleasure at speaklng ln thls his
torlc cnpltal of your hlstorlc state;
the state than whlch no other has
contrlbuted a larger proportlon to the
honor role of those Amerlcan worthies
whose greatness is not only for tho
age but for all tlme, not only for one
nation, but for all the world, on thls
honor roll Vlrginla's namo stands
above all others.
"And ln greetlng all of you, I know
that no one wlll grudgo my saylng a
speclal word of acknowjedgment to
the velerans of the clvll war. A man
would Indeed be but a poor Amerlcan
would could without a thrlll wltness
tho way In whlch, ln clty after clty
ln the north as ln tho south, on every
publlc occaslon, the menvwlio wore the
blue and. the men who wore the gray
now march and stand shoulder to
shouldcr, glvlng tanglble proof that
we are all now in fact as well aa In
name a rcunlted people, a people infl
nltely rlcher because of tho prlceiess
memorles loft to all Amerlcans by you
men who fought ln the great war.
"Only a herolc people could havo
battled succossfully agalnst the con
dltioua wlth whlch tho people of the
south found themselves face to face at
tho end of the clvll war. There had
been utter destructjion and disaster,
and wholly new buslness and soclal
problems had to be faeed wlth the
scantlest means. The economlc and
polltlcal fabrlc had to be readjusted
in the mldst of dire want, of grlnding
poverty. The future of the broken,
war-swept south seemed beyond hope,
and if her sons and dnughters had
been of weaker flbre there would ln
very truth havo been no hopo.
"And now, my fellow-citlzens, my
fellow-Amerlcans, exaetly as all of us,
whether wo llve ln tho east or the
west, ln" the north or the south, have
the rlght merely as Amerlcans to feel
prlde In every great deed done by any
Amerlcan In the past, and exaetly as
we are knlt together by the bond of
our common dutios in the present,
our common interests in the future.
iMany and great problems Ho beforo
us.
"If we treat the mighty memorles
of the past merely as excuses for slt
tlng lazlly down ln the present, or
for standing aslde from the rough
work of tho world, then these momo
rlos wlll prove a. curse Instead of a
blessing. But lf wo treat tliom as I
belleve we shall treat them, not as ex
cuses for lnactlon, but as incontlves
to mako us show that we are worthy
of our fathers and of our fathers
fathers, then ln truth the deeds of the
past wlll not have been wasted, for
Ihey shall bring forth frult a hundred
fold ln the preaont generation."
The Presldent fintshed speaklng at
2.20 p. m., wlien tho lino was formod
and tlie march taken up to the Ma
sonlc temple, where an olaborate ban
quet wlth covers for 400 persons was
spread.
Mrs. Roosevelt was met at the sta
tlon by Mrs. Montague and drlven to
tho governor's mansion, whoro a re
ception was held ln her honor, and
whlle tho banquet was"in progress at
the Masonle tomplo luncheoa was
