"The eloquence of Demosthenes and Ci-
cero were no more necessary TO their
work. and Lincoln deserves to have his
name written on the scroll with theirs.
Ambassador Jusserand of France at

granted to the American people, who had
a Washington when a Washington wes
needed and a Lincoln when Lincoln could
save Them
Baron Takahira at Peoria, lll.-"The
golden rule is fully in accordance with
the high ideal of Lincoln's diplomacy,
which is now being so theoretically ex-
pounded and executed by another great
President, Theodore Roosevelt"
Senator Lodge at Boston.-'I wish to
detach Lincoln from the myth that his
wisdom, his purity and his greatness
were as obvious and acknowledged, or
ought to have been as obvious and ac-
knowledged, in his lifetime as they are
to-day"
Booker L. Washington as New York.
Says the great book somewhere,
though a man die, yet shall he live. If
this is true of the ordinary man, how
much more true is it of the hero of the
hour and the hero of the century-Abra-
ham Lincoln? One hundred years of the
life and influence of Lincoln is the story
of the struggles, the trials, ambitions and
triumphs of the people of our complex
American civilization"
President Roosevelt at Hodgenville,
Ky.-"As the years roll by and as all
of us, wherever we dwell, grow to feel
an equal pride in the valor and self-devo-
tion alike of the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray, so this
whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar
sense of pride in the man whose blood
was shed for the union of his people and
for the freedom of a race; the lover of
his country and of all mankind the
mightiest of the mighty men who mas
tered the mighty days-Abraham Lin
coin"

Notable Demonstration.

centennial day was rendered by every
class. both sexes, numerous creeds, all
ages. by native-born Americans and by
naturalized citizens of many nationali-
ties.
Everywhere it was a tribute of the
whole people. 1t was a democratic, all
embracing demonstration, as the SYM
pathies of Lincoln himself were demo
cratic, all-embracing. Lincoln as the
doer of vital deeds for the nations well
fare, Lincoln as the exponent of lofty
Ideals for the nations guidance, Lin
coin as the prophet of the cause of hui
manity. Lincoln as the deliverer from
bondage of people, Lincoln as the
chief individual force which maintained
the Union--such were the themes to
which speakers everywhere addressed
themselves on the one hundredth ami
versary of his birth.
In Hodgenville, KY, where Lincoln
was born, President Roosevelt voiced
ringing praise to Lincoln's eminence.
At Springfield, ILL.,, two Of the leading
European powers, England and France,
laid the laurel before Lincoln's shrine
through their ambassadors. There, too,
the Democratic party, through William
Jennings Bryan, Joined in doing rever-
ence to Lincoln.
In Pennsylvania Vice President Fair
banks and his successor-elect, James S.
Sherman, glorified Lincoln's achieve
ments, while in New York City, where
extensive celebrations took place, Book
err L. Washington spoke on behalf of
the race which Lincoln freed.
Nowhere, however, was there so wide
spread or noteworthy general cele-
bration as that in Chicago On the
three sides of the city, all day long
and through the evening, tens Of thou
sands of men, women and children join
ed in doing their part to swell the
chorus of Lincoln's praise. BY song and
speech, by prayer and by music did
Chicago pay her reverence on centen-
NAL day. White capitalist and negro
lahorer, school child and Gettysburg
veteran, society woman and shop girl.
Jew and Gentle, Catholic and Protest
ant, European and Yankee, all joined
in mass meeting or banquet, in church
service or school exercise.
