Sit? Smillp of ffcar?
Home has not been home while you were gone. When
you left, you took it away from us. We kept the houses
and ran the stores and farms; but how we did Ion? for
home!
And now you come and bring home, home. You return
it glorified with the glory of an unprecedented victory. You
foutfht for that victory like men who defend homes, like
men who would build homes. Into its heart of hearts home
welcomes you, you who are more than half of home itself.
You are ours, and all that we have is yours. We thank
you for victory; we honor you, the victors.
Wo want you to take counsel with us how we may cele-
brate your victory by making a community fit for con
querors and the children of conquerors to call homo We
want you to evaluate with us the institutions that you must
make or unmake during your day. We want you to help
us find the friends of our community welfare and show us
how better to serve them; the enemies of our community
welfare and how quicker to destroy them. We want to
share with you the present state of our fortune, and v.e
want to work with you for its betterment.
"THE STATE IS OUR LARGER HOME." t
Texas is yours for the next forty years. We think it
worthy of you. Houston and Crockett and Fannin and
Travis and Bowie—these immortal heroes were the fathers
of this state now entrusted to you. And right worthy you
are of such priceless trust! Heroes of the past! Heroes
of the present! Patriotism makes you one! They defend-
ed the Alamo of America; you, the Alamo of Europe -
Belgium. They have given you a state made better by
their lives, consecrated by their death. Forty years from
now you will be giving to younger heroes this same state,
and yet not the same. You yourselves must determine
what the difference will be.
Looking both to the past and to the future, serve your
state well in the living present. Study her problems; be
alive to her honor; choose groat men to tend her; prize your
ballot, and use it as the golden wand that shall more and
more transform this state into a government "of the peo-
ple, by the people, and for the people." This state we
share with you, and pledge our honor to her best interest.
"THE HOME IS THE CITADEL OF HAPPINESS."
You will not overlook the home as being the fW1! of
the happiness of your community. You will prize it high-
er because you missed it so. You mean to build a home
all your own. Let it be more beautiful, more happy, more
sacred than ours have been.
You have seen much our eyes have never seen; you havt
lcprned much that we did not know; you have found a
courage in the fact of death that we have not always had.
Bring all these to the building of better homes. And as
you long for a home, prize womanhood. Slay yourself
rather than consign any living soul to a homeless life.
Physical restraints were imposed on you for the sake of
the tight; why not gladly endure them still, for the sake of
the home? ,
Love is the heart of home; kindness is the very blood
that supplies all parts with life. These are not born <1
the fight. But you who developed courage sufficient for
the fight to death, will not be lacking in new virtues for
holier tasks. Whatever the cost, build for your children
even better homes than you ha\e had.
