Walla Walla. County Fair association,
who recently returned from a trip to
Portland and the Sound, is Of the Opin-
ion that the passage of the Hanson

work no hardship ON the local associa-
ton, and that revenues will not be ap-
prec:ably diminished by the elimina-
ton OF boOkmakers.

PRISONERS GO
TO "TARRYTOWN"

"Tarrytown'' may be the official name
Of the state penitentiary, if plans now
under way materialize, the committee
from the Commercial club having re-
por ed last night in favor of changing
the name to something other than the
state penitentlary.
AS The Evening Statesman some
time ago published the announcement
that such a move was on foot, the re-
port of the committee was no surprise,
and the name was accepted by the club
as being appropriate. The Walla Wal
la representatives in Olympia are to be
informed of the action of the club and
asked to cooperate in the change OF
the name of the institution which casts
reflec- ions upon the fair name of Wal
Ia Walla.
Dean A. w. Hendricn, who is work
ing in the interest of greater college
was reported by DR.. N. G. Blalock to
have said that the state penitentiar
Las & decided influence on the town
and the college.
Not only would the committee
change The name to ''Tarrytown.' but
after such action is officially taken
some action would be considered
whereby all mail matter to inmates
might be addressed to either a post
Office or sub station on the hill, thus
eliminating the publicity given the To-
a'ion of the prison by reason Of mail
being sent to Walla Walla. AS there
would be some difficulty in securing q
postoffice at "Tarrytown," it has beer
suggested that sub station be es-
tablished but just whether this can be
brought about, is nod yet definitely
known

Celebrate at LincoIn's Birthplace.

HODGENVILLE, KY, Feb. 12.-Nev'
er since AppOmatoX have the blue and
the gray been drawn closer together
than today when President Roosevelt,
standing on he spot that one hundred
years ago gave the world one of his
greatest men. today delivered the
most remarkable address of his career
in the presence of a large concourse
of people. Luke Wright, a former con-
federate artileryman, joined in the
tribute to Lincoln. Democratic and re-
publican committees came from Louis
vile together. Governor Wilson APP
poin ed 90 negro citizens to represent
their race.
Enthusiastic Crowd.
The enthusiastic crowd represented
every phase of Americas greatest
struggle. Former slaves. together with
men once slave holders, gathered to
paw tribute to Li1cOln'S memory.
Words of no other speaker were more
sincere or none more eloquent than
those of Wright.
Under a canvas covering arranged
about the marble memorial enclosing
the log cabin where Nancy Hanks
brought her child of destiny into the
world were ACCOMMODATIONS for 5000,
but more than this were on the scene
at daybreak. General ROdger Williams
of Lexington. was chief marshal of the
dav in charge of the arrangements.
The presidential party was escorted
o the scene among deafening cheers.
Roosevelt's greatest reception during
his political career was insignificant
compared with that of today.
Governor Joseph Folk, of Missouri,
as president Of the national Lincoln
farm association. opened the ceremo-
MES followed by Governor wilson.
Secretary Wright voiced his senti-
ments. He was then followed by
Roosevelt, whose remarkable address
was the croWning event of the day.

Iectiveness increased, SO thought may
nave its propagating power enormously
increased by being moulded into a
form that the eye catches and the
memory holds. Lincoln gave express
sion to the thought of his followers
and gave that thought felicitious ex-
preston.
His Gettysburg speech is not sur
passed, if equalled, in beauty. sim
plicity. force and appropriateness by
any speech OF the same length of any
language. 1t is the worlds model in
eloquence. elegance and condensation.
He might safely rest his reputation as
an orator on that speech alone
Il have enumera ed some, not all
but the more important-of his charac-
ter1stics as an orator. and on this day
venture for The moment to turn the
thoughts of this audience away from
the great work tina he accomplished
as patriot. away from his achieve
ments in the line of Statecraft. to the
means employed by him to bring be-
fore the public the ideas which at
tracted attention to him. His power
as a public speaker was the foundation
of his success. and while it is obscured
by the superstructure thar was reared
upon it. it can not be entirely over
locked as the returning anniversary of
his Dir h calls increasing attention to
the widening influence of his work.
With no military career to dazzle the
eye or excite the imagination; with no
public service to make his name ia
miliar to the reading public. his eleva-
ton to the presidency would have been
impossible without his oratory. The
eloquence of Demosthenes and Cicero
were no more necessary to their work,
and Lincoln deserves to have his name
written on the scroll with theirs
