sake of paying a compliment, I shall
not tell you I am entirely soryr I did
not come; it might imply a lack of
appreciation for the somewhat potable
operating in conjunction with a very
impressive company of friends iu oth

“To come to Georgia is to come to
the heart of the South. To come to
Georgia on this, of all days of the
year—the birthday of Roosevelt —is to
realize that the heart of the South
throbs for all the- Nation. To the
making of that typical American of
the new era went equally the warmer
strains of the Old South and the stur
dy stock that gave the Nation its Em
pire State.
“So it is good, in greeting you men
ami women of Georgia, to recall the
career of that outstanding American
who in his life, as In his lineage,
taught us how much we are prospered
and exalted because of being united.
lAntl. coming thus among you, it is pe
culiarly a satisfaction to speak from
the shadow of the shaft which you
have reared to the memory of one
who taught a reunited nation Its du
ties, its obligations, its possibilities.
For I recall the thrill with which I
read, as a young man. the address of
Henry W. Grady to the New England
