PRESIDENT PAYS TRIBUTE TO

HOOD AND MANHOOD.
METHODISM IS PRAISED
Before Delegates to General Confer
ence For Impoitant Part Played
In the Sturdy Upbuilding
' of the Nation.
Washington, May 16. "Good C.ti
zeiiBbii)" was the subject of an ad
dress by President Roosevelt today,
Jn which ho paid notable tribute to
motherhood, before a large gathering i
of Methodists at the American Unl-
versify In. the course of construction,
just outside, the city limits. J lie as
semblage was composed principally
of delegates to the general confer
ence of the. Methodist Kpiscopal
church, now in session in Ila'timorc.
The exercises began at 3 o'clock
this afternoon on the university
campus. In tribute to 1'resideiit
Roosevelt, Bishop Cranston, who pre
Bld'M, declared, that he was In sym
pathy with the missionary movements
of all churches; that he had lilted
politics to a plane of statesmanship;
that he had forced diplomacy In Dim
open; that .he had taken the people
into his confidence because he had
nothing to conceal; that he was f ar
less in rebuking inquiry and that he
had made a judgment day for evil
doesr.
His address which was listened to
with keen attention follows:
History of Methodism.
It Ik a pleasure to be with you to
day and bid you welcome on behalf of
the nation, here In the capital of the
nation. Important though the Meth
odist church is in many lands, there
Is none in which it has played so
great and peculiar a part as here in
the United States, tls history is In
dissolubly iuterwoven with the his
tory of our country for the six score
years since the constitutional, conven
tlon made rs really a nation. Meth
odium in America. Filtered on its
period of rapid growth just about
the time of Washington's first presi
dency. Its essential democracy, its
fiery and restless energy of spirit, and
the wide play that it gave to individ
ual initiative, all tended to make it
peculiarly congenial to a. hardy and
virile tolk, democratic, to the core,
prizing individual Independence
above all earthly tKissessinns, and en
gaged in the rough stern work of
conquering a continent. Methodism
spread even among the old communl
ties and the long-settled districts of
the Atlantic lido water.; but its phe
nomenal growth was from these re
gions westward. The whole country
is under a, debt of gratitude to the
Methodist circuit , riders, the. Meth
odlst plonker preachers, whose move
ment westward kept pace with the
movement of the frontier, who shared
all the. hardships In the life of the
frontiersman, while at the same time
min'stcring to that frontiersman's
spiritual needs, and Bering that his
pressing material cares and the ahrd
an. I grinding poverty of his life d'd
not wholly extinguish the divine fire
within his soul, tiuch was your work
in the past; and your work in the
present is as great; for the need and
oppoitunity for service widen as the
' field of national Interest widens. It
Is not true In this country that the
poor have grown poorer; hut it is
true that in many sections, and par
ticularly in our large cities, the rich
have grown so very much richer as
to wtilen the gulf between the man
of very large means and the man
who makes each day's livelihood by
that day's work; and those who with
sincerity, and efficiency, and deep
conviction, band together for mutual
help, aro those who can do most to
keep the gulf from becoming too
wide. True religion, through church
organizations, through philanthropic
organizations. In all the fl-dd f
kindred endeavor, can manifest itself
as effectively In the crowded and
complex life of today as In the pio
neer yesterdays; and the souls of
men need the light now, and strive
blindly toward It. as they needed it.
and strove toward it in the vanished
past, it is your task to do the work
of the Lord on the farm anil in the
mine, in the countlngroom and the
factory, in the car shops and beside
the blasting furnaces, jest as it was
the task of your spiritual forbears
to wtwtle for the fouls of the men
and women who dwelt on the stomp
dotted relartngs In the wilderness.
Much Evil anJ Much Good.
No nation in the world has more
right than ours to look with proud
confidence toward the fnture. "
where else has the experiment of
democratic government, of govern
ment by the people and for the peo
pie. of government tiased on the
principle of treating each man on hi
innate worth as a man. been tried in
so vast a scale as with as:, and on
the whole the experiment has been
more sncepspfiil than anywber else.
Moreover, on the whole. l-thtak it
earn be said that we Bare grown rat
ter anl not worge; for -there U
much evil, god alsu greatly abounds,
and if wrung grows, so In even
greater measure grows the stem
sense of rl'jht bef.ire which wrtng
must eovntraily yield. It would bo
both unmanly and' , unwarranted to
become faint hearted or (bspuliing
about the nation's future. Clear-eyed
and far-sighted men who are both
bravo of heart and cool of head,
while not for a moment refusing to
see Mini acknowledge the many evils
around us, must yet also feel a con
fident assurance that in the s'rupgle
we Khali win and not lose, that the
century that lias just opened will see
great triumph for ur people.
1 Must Combat Evil.
' Hut the surest way to achieve this
triumph is, while never losing hope
and belief In our progress, yet a
the same tlmn refuse to b'lnd o''r
selves to what Is evil in the complex
! plav of the many forces, working
through, and with, and against on"
another, in the upbuilding of our so-
1 cial structure. There Is much fiat
tends toward evil ns well as much
that tends toward good; and the true
patriot Is that man who, without los
ing faith in the good, does his best
to combat the evil, to stamp It out
where that is possible, nnd at least
to minimize its results. ' Prosperity
such as ocrs, necessary though it
lie ast the material basis of national
greatness, Inevitably t'lids to undue
exaltation of the merely material sid"
of the national character; mid we
must largely rely on the efforts of
such men and women as those I am
addressing to build up the spiritual
life without which tne material life
amounts to nothing. As geenration
succeeds generation the, prob'ems
clianga In their.; external shape; old
needi - vanish, and new nepilsarlHe;
but it remains as true as ever -that
In tile last analysis national great
ness, national success, depend upon
the character of the individual man
and individual woman. We need
good laws; we need to have these I
laws honestly and fearlessly ad nlnis
tered; we need wealth; we net!
science and art and all the kindrei
activities that spring from the clever
brain and the deft hand. Hut most
of all we need the essential finalities
that in their sum make up tho good
man and the good woman; meet of
all we need that fine and healthy
family life the lack of which makes
any Bceniln material prosperity but a
glimmering sham..:
- Average Man and -Woman.---
If the average : man Is brave and
hard-working and clean living, if tin
average woman hn'i the qualities
which make a good mother, if each
has self respect and If each realizes
that the greatest thing In. life js th
chance to do service why, then the
future of the Nntlon Is secure We
can not stand up tor what is good in
manhood ami womanhood without
condemning what is evil. W'e must
condemn the man who is either brutal
and vicious, or weak and cowardly;
the man who fails to do his duty bj
the public, who is a bad neighbor, an
Idler, an Inconsiderate and sellish
husband, a neglectful father. So a
so we must condemn the woman
who, whether from selfish love of
ease or from lack of all true woman
ly quality, refuses to do aright her
great and all-essential dut'es of wife
hood and motherhood. We' admire a
good man; bi:t we admire a good
woman more, w e believe In her
more. All honor Is due the man who
does his full duty In peace, who as
a soldier does his full duty in war;
but even more honor is due the
mother; for the birth pangs make
all men the debtors of all women. No
human being has a greater title to
respect than the mother who does
ner lull duty, who Dears and rears
plenty of healthy children, so that
there shall be national growth and
not national decadence, so that, in
quality and in quantity our poopl"
shall increase. The measure of our
belief In and respect for the good
man and the good woman must !)
the measure of our condemnation of
the niHn 'and the woman who, whe
ther from vieiousness or selfishness
or from vapid folly, fajls to do each
his or her duty in his or her tspecia'
sphere. Courage, unselfishness, com
mon sense, devotion to high ideals,
a proper care lor tne things of tne
plrit, and yet also for the things of
the bed v these are what we most
need to see in our people; these air
the qualities that make up the right
tje of family life; and these are the
qualities that by precept and by ex
ample you here , whom I am ad
Iressing. are bound to do oil in your
liower to mahe tne typical qualities
of American citizenship.

PLEA OF WHITE'S SLAYER FOR
HIS LIBERTY TO BE DECIDED
MAY 20. JEROME MAKES SEN
SATIONAL REQUEST.
Poughkeeptile, N. Y., May 10. Har
ry K. Thaw's plea for his liberty from
Mal.teawan insane asylum, where he
ha. i been colillned since his acquittal
for the niurdtr of Stanford W hite on
the grounds of insanity, will prob
ably be decided by Judge Morschaus
er on May 25. The hearing iu habeas
corpus proceedings, brought by coun
sel for Thaw, ended late tonight after
District Attorney Jerome had mad)
a sensational request that Thaw,
whom he had called to the stand, per
mit his alienists to examine lilni and
to judge of his mental condition he
cause they hail had no opportunity to
converse with the defendant.
Thaw was not permitted to respond,
the court itself instructing him not to
do iso. The judge suggested, how
ever, that. Thaw confer with his coun
sel and that peihaps they might de
cide it wise to grant tlie request.
Thow, his lawyer, and Doctors Pil
nrlm, Evans and Jcliff, who had testt
lied that Thaw was sane, held a con
ference and later said that Thaw would
submit to a personal examination but
not by alienists who had appeared for
Jerome. The alienists to make exam
ination, they stipulate, must be some
who have never appeared in the case.
Another condition was that the ex
amiuatloti was restricted to thewper
soual study of relator ' and be not
founded on the testimony of previous
trials. Jerome refused the terms.
Thaw was on the stand but a short
time before Jerome made his surpris
ing 'fequost-and ' answered the few
questions put to him generally with
out much hesitation. The first ques
tion regarding the nature on the pio
feedings caused him some perplexing,
but he finally answered deliberately
that he was seeking his rights as an
American citizen.
