“The American Pioneer,” was
the caption of a notable address
recently made by the Hon. Frank
lin K. Lane, secretary of the in
terior, at the Panama Exposition
at San Francisco. It follows:
The sculptors who have enno
bled these buildings with their
work have surely given full wing
to their fancy in seeking to sym
bolize the tale which this exposi
tion tells. Among these figures
I have sought for one which
would represent to me the sig
nificance of this great enterprise.
Prophets, priests, and kings
are here, conquerors and mysti
cal figures of ancient legion; but
these do not speak the word I
hear.
My eye is drawn to the least
conspicuous of all—the modest
figure of a man standing beside j
two oxen, which look down upon
the court of the nations, where
East and West come face to face.
Towering above his gaunt fig
ure is the canopy of his prairie
schooner.
Gay conquistadores ride beside
him, and one must look hard to
see this simple, plodding figure.
Yet that man is to me the one
hero of this day.
Without him we would not be
here.
Without him banners' would
not fly, nor bands play.
Without him San Frenciseo
would not be today the gayest
city of the globe.
Shall I tell you who he is, this
key figure in the arch of our en
terprise?
That slender, dauntless, plod
ding, modest figure is the Amer
ican pioneer.
To me he is, indeed, far more;
he is the adventurous spirit of
our restless race.
Long ago he set sail with
Ulysses. But Ulysses turned
back.
He sailed again with Columbus j
for the Indies and heard with joy
the quick command, “Sail on,
sail on, and on.” But the west
ward way was barred.
He landed at Plymouth rock
and with his dull-eyed oxen has
made the long, long journey
across our continent. His way
has been hard, slow, momentous.
He made his path through sog
gy, sodden forests where the
storms of a thousand years con
, spired to block his way.
He drank with delight of the
brackish water where the wild
j beasts wallowed.
He trekked through the yield- j
ing, treacherous snows; forded j
swift-running waters; crept pain
fully through rocky gorges where I
Titans had been at play; clam
bered up mountain sides, the
sport of avalanche and of slide;
dared the limitless land without
horizon; ground his teeth upon;
| the bitter dust of the desert;;
| fainted beneath the flail of the I
raw and ruthless sun; starved,
thirsted, fought; was cast down
but never broken; and he never
turned back.
Here he stands at last beside
this western sea, the incarnate
soul of his insatiable race the
American pioneer.
Pity? He scorns it.
Glory? He dees not ask it.
His sons and his daughters are
scattered along the path he has
come.
Each fence post tells where
some one fell.
Each farm, brightening now
with the first smile of Spring,
was once a battlefield, where men
and women fought the choking
horrors of starvation and isola
tion.
His is this one glory—-he found
the way; his the adventure.
It is life that he felt, life that
compelled him.
That strange, mysterious thing
that lifted him out of the prime
val muck and sent him climbing
upward that same strange thing
has pressed him onward, held out
new visions to his wondering
eyes, and sung new songs into
his welcoming ears.
And why?
In his long wandering he has
had time to think.
He has talked with the stars,
and they have taught him not to
ask why.
He is here. «
He has seated himself upon
the golden sand of this distant
shore and has said to himself
that it is time for him to gather
his sons about him that they may
talk; that they may tell tales of
things done.
Here on this stretch of shore
he has built the outermost camp
fire of his race and has gathered
his sons that they may tell each
other of the progress they have
made utter man’s prayers,
things done for man.
His sons are they who have
cut these continents in twain,
who have slashed God’s world as
with a knife, who have gleefully
made the rebellious seas to lift
man’s ship across the barrier
mountains of Panama.
This thing the sons of the pio
neer have done it is their prayer
a thing done for man.
And here, too, these sons of
the pioneer will tell of other
things they do how they fill the
night with jewelled light conjur
ed from the melting snows of the
far-off mountains; how they talk
together across the world in their
own voices; how they baffle the
eagles in their flight through the
air and make their way within
the spectral gloom of the sound
less sea; how they reach into the
heavens and draw down food out
of the air to replenish the wasted
earth; how with the touch of a
knife they convert the sinner, and
with the touch of a stone dissolve
disease.
These things and more have
they done in these latter days,
these sons of the pioneer.
And in their honor he has fash
ioned this beautiful city of dreams
come true.
In their honor has he hung the
heavens with flowers and added
new stars to the night.
In blue and gold, in scarlet and
purple, in the green of the shal
low sea and the burnt brown of
the summer hillside, he has made
the architecture of the centuries
to march before their eyes in col
umn, colonnade, and court.
We have but to anchor his
quaint covered wagon to the soil
and soon it rises transformed in
to the vane of some mighty ca
thedral.
For after all Rome and Rheims,
Salisbury and Seville are not far
memories to the pioneer.
Here, too, in this city of the
new nation the pioneer has called
together all his neighbors that
we may learn one of the other.
We are to live together side by
side for all time.
The seas are but a highway be
tween the doorways of the na
tions.
We are to know each other.
Perhaps strained nerves may
sometimes fancy the gesture of
the pioneer to be abrupt, and his
voice we know has been hardened
by the winter winds.
But his neighbors will soon
come to know that he has no
hatred in his heart, for he is
without fear; that he is without
envy, for none can add to his
wealth.
The long journey of this slight,
modest figure that stands beside
the oxen is at an end.
The waste places of the earth
have been found.
But adventure is not to end.
Here in his house will be taught
the gospel of an advancing de
mocracy, strong, valiant, con
fident; conquering upborne and
typified by the independent, ven
turesome spirit of that mystic
materialist, the American pi
oneer.
