What I said in my inaugural address of March 4, 1897, I now repeat:
The constituted authorities must be cheerfully and vigorously upheld.
Lynchings must not be tolerated in a great and civilized country like
the United States. Courts, not mobs, must execute the penalties of the
laws. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the
integrity of courts, and the orderly administration of justice must
continue forever the rock of safety upon which our Government securely
rests.

In accordance with the act of Congress providing for an appropriate
national celebration in the year 1900 of the establishment of the seat
of Government in the District of Columbia, I have appointed a committee,
consisting of the governors of all the States and Territories of the
United States, who have been invited to assemble in the city of
Washington on the 21st of December, 1899, which, with the committees of
the Congress and the District of Columbia, are charged with the proper
conduct of this celebration.
