of hospitality so many years ago that
antedating the coming of locksmiths
she probably never had a key but if
she did it is lost and in any event Is
not needed now to unlock the door

San Juan hill and all the attendant

of that memorable campaign are mat-

of our country's history but to none
better than to those of you who were
with the regiment from its organiza-
tion to its final mustering out and dis-
bandn.ent. No. gentlemen you did not
disband for hardly had you returned
victorious from the seat of war when
you formed this organization of Rough
Rldera and rightly too that you m'ght
perpetuate the aasoclatlon of memory
with the days when patriotic fervor
led jot: to take up arma in defence of
your country and go forth to do bat-
tle against the enemy. You are met
today for the fourth time in reunion
but only for the first time since your
organization In the city where you
were gathered and recruited. Turn-
ing again to the association of those
days your eyes will grow dim with
tears as you recall those of j’our reg-

chivalrous men and comrades who
like Allen Capron. Bucky O’Neill. Ham-

rendered to death upon the battle-
field or else hav* subsequently gone
hence to join their comrades across
the line. In speaking of bravery in
battle. I might with particular empha-
sis (proudly alike to you and to every
American citizen) dwell here upon the
gallant conduct of that distinguished
soldier patriot and statesman who
conceiving the formation of this regi-
ment. but modestly refusing the lead-
ership contenting himself with the P°
. sitlon of second lieutenant in com-
। mand followed the fortunes of his
I comrades through the eventful strug-
gles of that memorable campaign and
emerging therefrom with great mll<-
tary renown laid down the turbulent
i duties of warfare to take up the mor»
reaceful pursuits of statecraft whence
by dint of marked ability he has ad-
vanced with rapid strides to the dig-
; nlty and honor of the position as chief
magistrate of this great nation. But
others will tell him tomorrow of w
great regard for his patriotic zeal and
our admiration for hl< marvelous exec-
utive ability and so I leave to them
the pajment of a just tribute to that
intellectual giant the foremost max
of the hour the true type of Ameri-
ca citizenship the soldier patriot.
