LOWELL ON HUMANITY OF LINCOLN"

The following address on the "Hu-
aanity of Lincoln was delivered by
Judge stephen A. Lowell Of this city,
- the Lincoln anniversary banquet
n Portland last night:
The name OF Lincoln Is the sa ntli-
est in the secular history of the new
Eorld, and measured by the heart
beat of the republic, / would place 1t
FIRST in the annals of our great.
Washington alone approached him
tnd probably by international stand
ards towers higher. To the oppress-
ed Of distant lands the name Of Wash
mgton typifies the civil liberty TO
which the mass Of the men aspire.
signifies the dethronement Of kings,
md the enthronement Of the plain
people. Probably no American will
ever equal him as a world figure. He
Eas at once a soldier, statesman and
nberator triumphant, and to the pro-
ietarat Of ChristendOm occupies a
place alone.
IN this land. however the passing
years have not added to the fame Of
the first president. His status ap-
pears to be fixed His reputation
neither increases nor diminishes. He
seems to have lacked those peculiar
characteristics which throw a halo
about the heads OF some Of the saints
II the church and which ideal'ze a
few OF the heroes Of the secular
Eorld.
Lincoln, on the other hand, was
endowed with those attributes of
mind and heart which appeal alike to
the judgment and sentiment Of the
average man. He was great in the
work OF common men. He Is the
ideal American-the Great Heart in
The majestic story Of our national
Ife. His fame increases with the
years. and he BIDS fair to become the
secular saint Of the nation What is
ehe reason for this?
The man was not a soldier, but the
9orld has been surfeited with cap
aims Of hosts since history began,
and counts only three as masters
Alexander Caesar and Napoleon. It
vas given to Lincoln to make and
gnmgke generals.
He was not statesman; Hamilton,
r fferson Webster, Calhoun. all sur
passed him in the field Of legislation
and diplomacy; a term in congress

president suggestions for constructive
legislation came usually from mem

nce TO declare policies. and states

shem into laws.
He was not a crusader. In the alb

don Of his time. Phillips and Gar

tically worthless on account of there
being no transportation, it costing
more to haul the wheat to the dis
tant railroad stations than can be af-
forded. For these reasons the amount
of wheat grown in Washington with
in the next five years will be. at a
rough estimate, probably between a
third and one-half more than 1t now
is, and the income Of the state from
its wheat product that much more.

Mellon.

1t was with deep grief that the many
friends of James Mellon heard of his
death which occurred on Monday, after
an illness of nearly two years. His
funeral occurred on Wednesday morn
ing from st. Mary's cathedral. Requiem
high mass was celebrated by Rev. An
drew Ryan, who also preached the SER
mon. The pall-bearers were Thomas ].
O'Brien, John P. Tanning, A. ]. Bru-
neau, Edward McGurrin, Thomas Mar
name and William L. Duffy
The deepest sympathy is extended to
the bereaved young wife and her little
children, who will sadly mourn the loss
of devoted husband and father. No
truer, better Christian man never lived
than Jim Mellon. A loyal Catholic,
an honest Christian, kindly, charitable
and lovable in every way. he won
friends and kept them. He was a
prominent member of the knights of
Columbus. who attended his funeral in
a body. May his soul rest in peace, and
his last sleep be as calm as his life was
good and true!

attended that many could not gain ad-
mittance.

Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers,
gave short testimonial talk, telling of
the life of the dead man as known to
his fellow-workmen, and giving words
of coincidence to sorrowing relatives
and friends
The officiating clergyman was the
Rev. Peter a. Simpkin. pastor of the
Phillips Congregational church, who
also pronounced short eulogy and ex-
pressed sympathy for those left behind.
There was beautiful music by a Sc
lected quartette in charge of Miss Nora
Gleason. To show the love and respect
that Mr.. McAleer always expressed for
his native state, Maryland, an orchestra
was present. and as the body was borne
from the chapel it gave the selection
Maryland, My Maryland.
Two funeral cars and many carriages
carried relatives and friends to the
grave in Mt. Olivet cemetery, where
burial took place. The pall-bearers
were Thomas Lamplugh, Edward Piper,

LOFTS.

Touching indeed were the funerals of
the two Denver & Rio Grande en-
gineers, Thomas Jefferson Lofts and
George W. McAleer, who were killed
in the freight wreck at divers sid
ing twenty miles south of Salt Lake
City, Wednesday morning, shortly
after o'clock, which took place Sun
day afternoon.
Hundreds of sorrOwing relatives and
friends gathered to pay a last tribute
to the men who, through slight err
ror had given up their lives at their
posts of duty.
In a steady downpour of rain many
went to the cemetery to see their
friends and comrades laid in their
final resting place. The funeral of
Thomas Jefferson Lofts took place
from the Masonic temple, at First
South and Second East streets, at 1
O o'clock, the chapel of the temple being

SEAT SALE TOMORROW.
Seats for "The Clansman" May All Be
Sold Out Before the Date of
the Performance.

The seat sale for THE Clansman'' at
the Salt Lake theatre, beginning next
Thursday evening, begins at the box
Office tomorrow morning, and judging
by the talk around town the entire
house is likely 10 be sold out before the
date of the performance. Never be-
fore has the announcement of a play
enlisted such widespread local interest
Not only the regular theatre goers, but
business men, politicians, church mem
bers-in fact, every thinking citizen is
eager to see The Clansman" and judge
its merits. From coast to coast 'The
Clansman" has been advertised as the
great white mans play. While not hos
tile to the negro or to the yellow or
brown races, it sets forth the natural
superiority Of the white race. In view
of the yellow peril, and the other mo-
mentOus problems facing the American
people. its significance is tremendous.
But, though written by a former emf
nent divine of the Baptist chuch, THE
Clansman" is not a sermon. Its aim
is to please. and it has delighted every
audience with its story of reconstruc-
ton days in the south and the work OF
the Ku-Klux Khan. Nearly 1000, 900
people have witnessed The Clansman.'
New York, Chicago, St. Louis and 9TH
er large cities have stamped il with
their approval Unquestionably THE
Clansman' is the play of the hour. and
those who miss it will deprive them
selves both of an aesthetic pleasure
and a new insight into the form and
pressure of the time.
