De endowed with competence to so
these he is doing in this very
day with a miraculous confidence
and mighty faith. He has discor-
cred that his own commission over
life, over the happiness and health
and the fruitage of the life that
now Is, as we'll as of that which IS
to come. is vastly larger commits
sion than the world hitherto has
dreamed of. He is finding out that
Providence is partnership and
that no man may be sleeping
partner in the business OF living
without the penalty of losing the
very thing that life is-a world Of
potencies converted into achieve
ment.
This is the note, surely. as civt-
lization faces the year 1910-ths
note of competency, the sense OF
added powers to life, the feeling
that the greater things are coming
on the earth, and that man is US
ing the key to unlock the treasure
house of his own life with sure
ness and a wisdom that give prom
Use of vastly better, richer, 1uster
universe than he has yet known.
Another note of our time Is the
fact that life mirrors itself in such
wonderful way and the things
and forces that make for the bet
ter day to be are known and read
OF all men. We live in the open,
and no man may become champion
of any cause and keep the world in
ignorance of the character of the
cause and the nature of his cham
pionship. No man to-day may hide
his light under bushel. 1t is
tell'tale world. and, more than any
past time, the world to-day has
juster sense of values and knows
both the things that are saving II
and the things also that threaten
and endanger 1t. Public service
was never so responsible as 1t Is
to-day, because civilization never
had the almost miraculous power
of analyzing and testing the value
of public service as in this present
year. Public life is an open book.
and the most impossible of all Inn
possible things to-day is that any
national or International movement
should be misunderstood or misin-
terpreted by the worlds best mind.
And what is true of public move
ments is true of public men. No
public man can deceive his constit.
uents to-day, for his constituents
are the world. And the strong man
to-day is the man who frankly rec
ognizes this.

fluence than any that went before him. Until recently. this spot which should be hallowed by every Ameri- can, was unnoticed and abandoned. Inspired by the idea that due regard for the apostle of human liberty who sprang from this soil demanded the preservation of his birthplace, a few patriotic men organized the Lincoln Farm ssociation to purchase this prop erty and to erect upon it Memorial to that simple. but sublime life that here came into the world. This as. sOciation is purely patriotic in its pur pose and the movement has met with Q ready response from every section of the nation. The goyerncXs of near ly all the states have appointed com missionbrs to cooperate in this work. The South has responded as generous ly as the North. In rcVering the name of Lincoln. there is now no North nor South nor East nor West There Is but one heart in all. and that the heart of patriotic America. 50 the memorial to be erected here by South ,ts well as North Will not only bo m memory of Lincoln, but it will be a testimony that the fires of hatred aiAAitH 11 lht ttSfts Alhll comet or nearly half a century ago. are dead and rom the ashss has al sen the red rose of patriotism to common coun.' try and loyalty to a common flag It will be a monument in the forward progress of @ nation dedicated to tho liberty and happiness of mankind.
 Tt is appropriate that these dedica ton exercises. participated in by repre- sentatiyes of every part of the nation. should be held upon the centenary of Lincoln's birth. We have not come 80 much to dedicate this ground, but to set it apart as a sift to the American people as a lasting memorial to the nfatchless American. The man born here has already cousecrated this place. 1t is for us 10 be here dedi- cated to the great task before us, that this nation should not be preserved merely to fall before the enemies of peace, but that it shall be made free rom the things that dishonor and op- press. The inspiration of high citi- zenship must ever emanate from this spot"

GOV. WILSON'S PRAISE
Kentucky's Executive Among Those to Pay Tribute
 to Lincoln

HODGENVILLE. Ky. Feb. 12.=-Gov. WiIIon of Kentucky. in his address at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial here today said in the course of his speech:-"For him there is no need of memorial place or token. He lives and will forever live in the hearts of all the people of all the earth as the man of the people, grand in simple, noble dignity, almost strange in wisdom and prophetic foresight as If it were a gift direct from God.
 Simple and tender in life and feeling as a child ready to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, yet brave as a spirit of truth, immovable from right purpose, blessed with a humor such as to no man else was ever given, which turned aide wrath and softened the rigor of mortal strife, his courage and his work breathed life and hope and faith until it came to pass that in the fiery furnace of a mighty war, hate and strife melted into tho pure gold of union.

 The appearance Of Lincoln was at the most critical time in the nations history.

courage would have attempted #, while il would surely have over whelmed any man of judgment less serene.
 Yet perhaps tho most wonderful thing Of all, and, from tho standpoint of the America today and the ru- ture, the most vitaliy important, was the extraordinary way in which Lin- ,coln could fight valiantiy against what he deemed wrong and yet preserve undiminished his love and respect 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 Q struggle which spur red many a good man to dreadful win dictiveness. he said truthfully that >o long as he had been in his office he had never willingly planted c thorn in any mans bos0Tn, and be- sought his supporters to study the in cidents 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 offort to save their common country.
 He lived in days that were great and terrible. when brother fought against brother for what each sin cerely deemed to be right In a con test SO grim the strong men who alone can carry it through are rarely able to do justice to the deep convictions of those with whom they grapple in mortal strife. At such times men see fr, fa 0rI,- ba rareSt and loftiest spirits is vouchsaf- cd that clear vision which gradually comes to all, even to the leEser, as the struggle fades into the distance. and wounds are forgotten, and peace crceps back to the hearts that were hurt. But to Lincoln was given this supreme vision. He did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weak ness was as foreign as wickedRess to his strong, gentle nature; but his cour- age was Df a quality so high that ic ,nccdcd no bolstering of dark passion. He saw clearly that the same nigh qualities, the same courage, and vii ! lingness for self-sacrificc, and deyo ton to the right as it was given them i 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 us, wherever we dwell, grow

 and solf-devOtiOn, dlike of the men
 wbO wore the blue and the men who wore the gray. So this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar sense oi pride in inc mightiest Of the mighty
 men who mastered the mighty days;

 kind; the man whose blood was shed

Lincoln Strongest, StrangeSt, Greatest Character

uODGENNILLE, Ky, Feb. 12.-Jo- seph w. Folk, former Governor of Mis- souri, was one of the speakers at the Lincoln cxcrciscs here today. He said:
 "Tbe people of every great nation have in all time honored their heroes with memorials Tn studying the his tory of other people we judge them by these tokens of affection for the nlustrious men that led them in slime mighty crisis.
