In every great poem there is an Oft
recurring thought or line. In every
great symphony there is some measure
composed by the musician which per-
meates the music from beginning to
end. So in the life Of every human
being there is some dominant note that
keeps sounding and resounding through
the persons entire career. And II L

ELOQUENT Tribute Paid to

EttelsOn.

its fearlessness, its dauntless courage,
its ardent patriotism, its deathless de-
votion to the stars and stripes when
ever the summons has come that the
Regiment respond to the call of duty.
That Regiment has endured the agonies
of war when others were unable or I'M
willing to bear them.
BY his action in organizing the Ninth
Battalion, Major Buekner has builded,
if in no other way, a monument that
will be as enduring as our state. 1t
is only fitting that these ceremonies
shall be held, the last tribute Of re-
speet shall be paid in this hall of the
Seventh Regiment of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard, in this magnificent ar
senal provided by the state for the de-
tense of the people. Many a time and
oft have I seen the Seventh Regiment
and the Eighth Regiment in close
proximity marching proudly down the
avenues of our city, with banners
futtering in the breeze. And I have
thought that these soldiers marching,
aye fighting under a common flag have
learned that all men are equal, ire
speetive of creed or of color.
And so in his maturer years, this
man whose advice was so greatly
sought and so generously given, has
been fighting for his people, for his
city, for his state. He has been active
not only in the walks of political, but
also of civic activity. He was truly
a good citizen. Many of us knew from
intimate personal contact his lovable
qualities. To know him was to admire
him, aye to have a deep affection for
him.
1 lived near his home for many years
and as a young man who desired to
become active in politics, I sat at his
knees frequently. 1 am proud to say
that my first instructions, my first
guidance, my first encouragement, came
from Major John c. Buekner. At his
little home on Dearborn Street, he
passed the declining days of his life.
He seemed happy, thrice happy, in the
conspicuous success Of his lifelong
friend and political associate, Congress
man Madden. He seemed happy to
think that so many of the young men
with whom he had been allied were
gradually getting places of influence
and standing in the community.
His end came peacefully. He was
cheerful to the last. He knew his
friends even when it seemed that he
had lost all human consciousness.
Quietly, peacefully and solemnly he
passed out of his life. He seemed to
lay down with no sign of regret, but
with a feeling Of happiness that his
work was well done, the burden of this
life.
1t is but a feeble tribute that the
living can pay to the dead. At this
quiet hour, in this inspiring arsenal,
let us lay a floral wreath upon the

SENATOR ErrELsoN's GRAFTON.

SENATOR ETTELsoN's GRAFTON.
Major John C. Buekner is gone. A
life devoted in the largest measure to
the service of his people and to the
service of Others has come to a peace
full end. He drifted as a young man
from the rural districts to the great
METROPOLIS of our state. Without
friends, without influence, he found
himself orphaned and alone amid the
swirling life of a great big city.
His employment at the start was
very modest and gave little OppOr-
tunity for the display of his real tai
emit and ability. He Plodded along
carrying a burden such as most young
men carry when they come from the
country to the city; but his was even
a greater burden and a greater strug-
gle as we all recognize and know.
Living in the heart of the section
populated by his people, he soon won
many friends and became surrounded
by an ever widening circle of sincere
and loyal admirers. 1t was their idea
that he should enter politics and in
the councils of their party, take a
place where he could represent them
and speak for them as their interests
and requirements demanded.
He soon came to the attention OF
the leaders of that section and in fact
of the leaders who were dominating
the affairs of Chicago. He was elected
a member of the 4lst General Assembly.
His constituents showed their con-
fdenee in him by re-eleeting him as
member of the 42nd General As
sembly.
He made many friends in the legis-
lature, not only for himself, but for
the people of his district. Quiet, IN
assuming, amiable, suave and de-
termined, his voice and vote were of
great influence in the legislature of
our state.
Everyone of US is familiar with his
subsequent career. He was active in
politics and held a conspicuous place
in the councils of his party. He en-
tered the service of the government
and always performed his duties there
with fidelity to the public interest.
At the time of the Spring Valley
riots, Major Buekner showed the real
stuff of which he was made. He was
man in the best sense of the word.
He was not ashamed of his people.
He was not afraid to espouse their
cause both in private and in public.
At the time of that unfortunate &C.
currenee in Spring Valley, he belted
around his waist two revolvers and
went down to the scene of action to
see that justice was meted out to his
people.
He was instrumental in organizing
the Ninth Battalion Of the Illinois
National Guard. This was the nucleus
of the splendid and wonderful Eighth
Regiment, Regiment which has shown

HEAD OF NATIONAL TUBER-
CULosIs ASSOCIATION Re
SIGNS.
DR.. Farrand VIII Become President Of
University Of Colorado.

New York, December p:
DR.. Livingston Farrand, who for
nearly ten years has been the executive
secretary of The National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF Iu-
berculosis, has severed his connection
with that organization to become the
president of the University Of Colo
RADIO, according to an announcement
made from the associations headquar-
tiers here last night.
DR.. Farrand has probably done more
for the promotion of the organized
anti-tuberculosis movement in the
United States than any other single
individual in the entire country. When
the executive Office of The National
Association was opened in 1904, under
his direction, there were less than ~
associations and committees for the
prevention of tuberculosis in the
United States, and of these not more
than five were in any way actively at
work. Under DR.. Farrand's direction,
the scope of the snti-tuberculosis move
ment has expanded until to-day there
are over 1900 special tuberculosis So
eieties and committees in this country
alone, one or more in almost every
state, city and town of any prominence.
The institutional growth in this field
has also expanded from lis scattered
and poorly equipped sanatoria to nearly
600 such institutions with bed
capacity of over $4,000 and besides
there are over 400 dispensaries and
clinics for tuberculosis as against less
than 10 when the National Association
was started. There were no open air
schools or fresh air class in 1905, but
to-day there are over 200, and the num-
Der is growing daily. Ten years ago
tuberculosis was little understood or
feared by most people in the United
States; to-day the educational cam
paign directed by the National Associa-
ton has permeated every rank of So
ciety and the dangers and methods OF
prevention of this disease are even be-
ing taught in the public schools OF
scores of cities. Under DR.. Farrand s
direction the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign in the United States has become
the most thoroughly organized move
ment of its kind in the world.
DR.. Farrand's activities in public
health work have not been limited to
tuberculosis. He has taken active part
in the affairs of the American Public
Health Association, in the new move
ment for the control of cancer, in the
general infant mortality, school by
giene, sex hygiene, and other national
movements for health Improvement
and has been particularly influential in
the direction of the newly organized
public health activities Of the Associa'
ton for the Improvement of the Con
dition of the Poor of New York City
He goes to the University Of Colo
RADIO with an academic training as pro
fessor of anthropolOgy for a number
of years at Columbia University, as q
graduate of the College of Physician:
and Surgeons of New York City and
of Princeton University.

"Be not afraid nor dismayed by rea-

1.-THE Bride and Groom"
Miss Hancock was born and raised In
Chicago and possesses to a rare degree
qualities of mind and heart that have
made her deservedly popular among
her friends in Chicago and elsewhere.

mired for her charming manners and
amiable disposition. She is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Gertrude Haneoek-Carter,
one of the oldest and most highly re-
speeted families in Chicago. She is
graduate of the High and Normal
schools and in music.
'Rev. Mccoy was formally in charge
of large Baptist Church in Atlanta,
Ga. He is well known throughout the
South and is a perseveTing man of let
tiers with a keen insight in the serious
questions of the time. Rev. MeCoy's
devotion to the best interests Of his
race are well known in his native
state and no doubt will be demonstrated
here.
