welt and lending very picturesque
touch to the occasion were the men,
bers of the Louisville post of the Grand
Army of the Republic and the men,
bers of the Louisville camp of the
United Confederate Veterans. The
mingling Of the blue and the gray on
this occasion ELECTED from President
Roosevelt many expressions Of delight.
The Men Who Spoke.
The exercises at the Lincoln farm
began at noon. The opening address
was delivered by Ex-Governor Folk,
who spoke on ''The Lincoln Farm AS.
ISOLATION" He was followed by Gov
ernor Wilson, whose theme was Lin
coins Mother State" Then came Pres.
ident Roosevelt, whose Lincoln Cen.
tennial Address" was received with
earnest attention and at its close with
great applause. The presidents sue
cessor as orator was Secretary Wright,
who spoke for "The Confederate Vet.
cram" Last on the list of speakers was
General James Grant Wilson, the well
known writer and orator, who spoke
for 1.-The Federal Veteran" The lay
ing of the cornerstone followed the ad-
dresses.
President Roosevelt spoke as follows:
We have met here to celebrate the
hundredth anniversary of the birth Of
one Of the two greatest Americans; Of
one of the two or three greatest men
Of the nineteenth century; of one
of the greatest men in the worlds
history. This rail splitter, this boy
who passed his ungainly youth in
the dire poverty of the poorest of
the frontier folk, whose rise was
by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people through the burning
flames of a struggle from which the
nation emerged. purified as by fire.

came more often than victory, he at

greatness, but never ease. Success |
came to him, but never happiness, save |
that which springs from doing well Il |

his, but not pleasure The burrows

were undimmed by either hate or fear

Lincoln and Washington.

AS a people we are indeed beyond
measure fortunate in the characters of
the two greatest of our public men,
Washington and Lincoln. They were
alike in eSsentialS-they were alike II
the great qualities which rendered each
able to render service to his nation
and to all mankind such as no other
man of his generation could or did
render. There have been other men as
great and other men as good, but in
all the history of mankind there are
no other two great men as good as
these, no other two good men as great.
Widely though the problems of today
differ from the problems set for solu-
ton to Washington when he founded
this nation, to Lincoln when he saved
1t and freed the slave, yet the qualities
they showed in meeting these prob
lens are exactly the same as those we
should show in doing our work today.
Lincoln saw into the future with the
prophetic Imagination usually vouch-
safed only to the poet and the seer
He had in him all the lift toward
greatness Of the visionary, without
any of the visionary's fanaticism or
egotism, without any of the vision
ary's narrow jealousy of the practical
man and inability to strive in prac-
teal fashion for the realization of an
ideal. No more practical man ever llv-
ed than this homely backwoods ideal
ist, but he had nothing in common with
those practical men whose cOnscieuces
are warped until they fail to distin-
guish between good and evil, fail to
understand that strength, ability,
shrewdness, whether in the world Of
business or of politics, only serve to
make their pOssessor a more nOXiOus, |
a more evil member of the communi- !
ty, If they are not guided and con-
trolled by fine and high moral sense.
LineoIn's Qualities Needed Now.
We of this day must try to solve |
many social and Industrial problems /
requiring to an especial degree the
of indomitable resolution
with cool headed sanity We can profit !

| by the way IN which Lincoln used both
these traits as he strove for reform
We can learn much of value from the
very attacks which following that
course brought upon his head, attacks
alike by the extremists of revolution
and by the extremists Of reaction. He
never wavered In devotion to his prin-
ciples. In his love for the Union and In
his adherence Of slavery. Timid and
lukewarm people were always denounc-
ing him because he was too extreme:
but. as matter Of fact, he never went
to extremes.
Yet perhaps the most wonderful
thing of all and, from the standpoint
Of the America Of today and of the
future. the most vitality important was
the extraordinary way in which Lin
coin could fight valiantly against
what he deemed wrong and yet pre-
serve undiminshed his love and re-
spect for the brother from whom he
differed. In the hour of a triumph
that would have turned any weaker
mans head. in the heat of a struggle
which spurred many good man to
dreadful vindictiveness, he said truth.
fully that so long as he had been In
his office he had never willingly plant
ed thorn in any mans bosom and
besought his supporters TO study the
incidents of the. trial through which
they were passing as philosophy from
which to learn wisdom and not as
wrongs to be avenged. ending with
the solemn eXhortation that, as the
strife was over all should reunite In
a common effort to save their common
country.

and terrible, when brother fought

Man Who Saved Cabin Present.
A prominent figure in the, crowd OF
distinguished men at the ceremonies
was Robert ]. Collier of New York, to
whom the country owes the preserva-
ton of the cabin in which the great
llberator was born. In 1860 the cabin
was removed from its original site to
another q mile and a half distant, near
Davenport There it served as a spring
house until the early eighties, when il
was bought by an enterprising show
man and carted around the country to
serve as an attraction at worlds fairs
and elsewhere From this ignOminious
fate it was rescued by Mr.. Collier. The
outgrowth Of his efforts to preserve it
as a perpetual memorial for the nation
was the Lincoln Farm association.
whose labors will take concrete form
in the marble memorial which will be
built around and over the shack In
which Lincoln was born.

COUNCIL s ATTENTION IS
 CALLED TO FIRE HOSE

A recurrence of the friction between the Fire Chief and the City Council is threatened by a communication from the Mayor, read at last nights Council meeting, to which was attached a let ter from the Chief of the Fire Depart ment referring to hose which burst while the department wis engaged In fighting the recent Sellers Drum warehouse fire.
 The communication from the Mayor was accompanied by a section Of the burst hose, which showed a gaping hole torn through It's side. The Fire Chief, in his letter to the Mayor. said that the hose broke while under less than 100 pounds water pressure ana since this Is much less than the pres sure supposed to be had in time of fire that statement caused some discussion.
 A letter from Fire Captain Grihth also was attached to the Mayors let ter concerning this matter. Captain Griffith called attention to a dead plug which the department had to contend with on the night of the Sellers & Drum fire.

o'NEAL AND WEAKLEY
 DEBATE HERE THURSDAY

In the fifth of their joint debates. S. D. .weakley and Emmett o'Neal will speak in Montgomery Thursday night at the court house. The appearance of the two prominent Alabamians, one an avowed candidate for Governor, and the other a candidate by tacit under standing, has been followed with in- terest through the state and this, with the fact that Montgomery has not been the scene of a political debate since the Conner Smith campaign, points to the likelihood of a large attendance.
 The debate Is to be handled under peculiar circumstances. Though nom- inaIly the champions for and against the amendment, neither O'NeaI or weakley speak under the auspices of their factions. The arrangements for the debate were effected by private agreement between the men.
