COUNTY PURCHASES
new ROCK CRUSHER

Ihe county court have purchased q
new rock orusber,s which will be in
stalled by June ON the road along
the Davis place, on the old east side
road, near ttown. A ledge Of fine rock
for crushing extends ou In the road
at that place, running back on the
Davis dlaoe. The court wished to tuy
small piece of ground on which this
ro k ledge 10 situated, but the price
asked was considered exOrbitant, so
concluded to work the rock which ex.
tends into the road.
The new crusher will be fitted up
with bins for holding the different
size rock, and some sort of motive
power will have to be provided to
operate the machinery.
The location OF the rock will make
1t down hill pull to the east road,
aud within short distance to where
it will be used, and the work can be
done economically.
Work on a permanent macadamized
road will be commenced at the city
limits on the east side, and as much
road will be made this year as are
funds availab Q. The cost of install
ing the plant this first year will nee
essat lily limit the amount of work to
be done, but next year the county
will be In good shape to extend the
work several miles.
1t is proposed to treat the east and
west sides alike In the matter OF per-
manant roads, but the state will be
made on the east side first, and then
take up the main highways on the
west side.

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
IS DEDICATED TODAY
Impressive Ceremonies Mark the Dedication of the
Memorial to Abraham Lncoln---Addresses by Pres
ident Roosevelt and William J. Bryan

Hodgenville. Ky, Feb. 12.-ReveT-
ent and curious Americans to the mum
Der of several thousands today dedi-
Gated the mean little cabin in which
Liberty wrought her last great mira
Gle The present head of the nation,
the governor of Lincoln's native
state, and a host of others in the
forefront of American life joined in
the act of consecraaion.
Something Of the uncouthness so
inseparab1e from Lincoln was distinct
in the heart of the ceremony today,
which celebrated Lincoln's one hund-
redth birthday, enshnining the flower
mantled but withal dingy structure
of logs Within a notable structure of
marble, one block OF which would
buy a settlement such as that i'm
which the Lincolns lived. The place
where Abraham Lincoln was born
cannot but retain some elements of
the rural homespun, tall farmers
boys and griZZled old men sprung
from the same soil and nursed at the
same rough lands breast, who gazed
at the cabin from daylight on. These
native people had known the cabin
since childhood, but they stared at
it now in it's carnival trappings as
though there might at any time glow
from its window a light holy with
genius.
In addition to five special trains ev-
cry sort of vehicle was pressed into
service to transport the people of the
city to the Lincoln farm, which is an
even three miles from the depot. No
conveyance was ollowed to enter the
farm and the tent which served as
an auditorium was roped off from the
crowd which gathered around the hal
lowed spot. BY suggestion of some
kindly Kentuckians whose cooperat-
ion made possible the rural celebra-
ton, the Lincoln cabin was set in a
casket of flowers, the gift of the
school children of Kentucky.
1t was fifteen minutes of noon, as
the long drawn-out whistle announc-
ed the arrival of the presidential
train at the station. Rain was falling
in a steady drizZle. When the distin-

the practical mans hard common
sense and willingness to adapt means
to ends; but there was in ihim none of
that morbid growth OF mind and soul
which blinds so many practical men
to the higher things of life. No more
practical man ever lived than this
homely backwoods idealist; but he
had nothing in common with those
practical men whose consciences are
wanped until they fail to distinguish
between good and evil, fail to under
stand that strength, ability, shrewd-
ness, whether in the world of business
or of politics, only serve to make
their pOssessor more noxious, a
more evil member of the community,
If they are not guided and controlled
5y a fine and high moral sense.
We of this day must try to solve
many social and industrial problems,
requiring TO an especial degree the
combination of indomitable resolution
with cool-headed sanity. We can pro-
fit by the way in which Lincoln used
both these traits as he strove for re-
fonm. We can learn much of value
from the very attacks which following
that course brought upon his head,
attacks like by the extremists of revo
LUTON and by the extremists of reac-
ion. He never wavered in devotion to
his principles, in his love for the Un-
ion, and in his abhorance of slavery.
Timid and lukewaIm people were al
ways denouncing him because he was
to extreme; but as a matter of fact he
never went to extremes, he worked
step by step: and because of this the
extremists hated and denounced him
with a fervor which now seems to us
fantastic in its deification of the I'M
real and the impossible. AT the very
time when one side was holding him
up as the apostle of social revolution
because he was against slavery, the
leading abi1itionist denounced him as
the "Slave hound of illinois," When
he was the second time candidate for
President, the majority of his oppo-
nents attacked him because of what
they termed his extreme radicalism,
while a minority threatened to bolt
his nomination because he was not
radical enough. He had continually
to check those who wished to go for
ward too fast, at the very time that
he overrode the opposition of those
who wished not to go forward at ALL
The goal was never dim before his Wis
ion; but he picked his may cautiously,
without either halt or hurry, as he
strobe toward it, through such a mo-
rass of difficulty that no man of less
courage would have attempted it, while
1t would surely have overwhelmed any
man of Judgment less serene
Yet the most wonderful thing of all,
and, from the standpoint of the Ameri-
ca of today and of the future, the most
vitality important, was the eXtraOrdi-
nary way in which Lincoln could fight
Vahantly against what he deemed
wrong and yet preserve undiminished
his love and respect for THE brother
from whom he differed. In the hour

of triumph that would have turned
amy weaker mans head, in the heat OF
a struggle which spurued many good
man to dreadful vindictiveness, he
said truthfully that so long as he had
been in his office he had never willing
ly planted 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
strtife was over, all should reunite in a
common effort to save their common
country.
He lived in days that were great and
terrible, when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deem
ed to be the right. In a contest so
grim the strong men who alone can
carry it through are rarely to do JUS
tice to the deep convictions of those
with whom they grapple in moral
strife. At Salch times men see thru
a glass darkly; to only the rarest and
loftiest spirits is vouchsafed that clear
vision which gradually comes to all,
even to the lesser, and the struggle
fades into distance, and wounds are
forgotten, and peace creeps back to
the hearts that were hurt. But to
He did not hate the man from whom
he differed. Weakness was as foreign
as .wiekedness to his strong, gentle
nature; but his courage was of a qua
lity 50 high that it needed no bolster
ing of dark passion. He saw clearly
that the same high qualities, the same
courage, and willingness for sef-sacri-
flee and devotion to the right as it was
given them to see the right, belonged
both to the men of the North and to
the men of the South. AS the years
roll by, and as all of ms, wherever we
dwell, grow to feel am equal pride in
the valor and self-devotion, alike of
the men who wore the blue and the
men who wore the gray, so this whole
nation will grow to feel a peculi ar
sense of pride in the man whole blood
was shed for the union of his people
and fo. the freedom of race; the low
er of his country and of all mankind: :
the mightiest of the mighty men who
mastered the mighty days, Abraham
Lincoln.
General Luke E. Wright, for the
Confederate Army, was then heard.
In April the completed memorial
hall will be dedicated by William H.
Taft, then the President of the Unit
ed States.

Hodgenville, KY, Feb. 1.-THE cen

the United States but nowhere will

more interest than those to be held in

which has been purchased by nation
