. The legislative assembly today will
meet in joint session: for memorial
celebration of the hundredth birthday of
Abraham Lincoln. The legislative as
sembly has honored- Lincoln's birthday
each year for several years past, but
the celebration this year will have the
added significance of a centennial cele-
bration. A splendid program has been
prepared and will be rendered at the
capitol this afternoon. Little can be
said by this or future generations to add
to the fame of this greatest of Ameri-
cans. But his good deeds and splendid
example should be kept continually be-
fore this and future generations, and
with such an example in mind, the
standard of citizenship should be i'm
proved. -.
