Judge Hutton said in part
Abraham Lincoln was born one hundred
years ago today in backwoods shanty at
Hardin county, Kentucky. Far distant Cali

Governor Jose Joaquin de ArigaIIa but prac-

California has this year passed a law making
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln a legal holi-
day throughout the state to the end that men
ana women, old and young, may read and re-
fleet upon his greatness.
And why is this Because Abra ham lin
coin was a man called Of God to forever olliet
the right and title of humanity in the practical
enjoyment of the declaration that all men are
created with an equal right to liberty and
with an equal right to the pursuit of happi-
ness; Tor, strange and incomprehensible as it
may appear, yet it Is true that before his
time men mad been distrustful Of this great
principal Of the philosophy of human history as
ID expend the major part Of the energies Of
mankind in enslavement rather than the liberia

From time immemorial, generation after
generation sat stupidity by and allowed its own
enslavement and the man who endeavored to
break his own fetters or the fetters Of his fell
lowmen was treated as a common enemy Of
mankind. And Lincoln was murdered because
he would save not only the negro race but ali
mankind from slavery.
