Lincoln ct Gettysbuyg, Nou. 19, 1863


 Four and years ago our fathers brought forward on this continent nation conceived Ill b- erty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal
 Now, engaged in great civil war, testing whether that nation any nation conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We met great bat tcfied of that war. We have come to dedicate DOT on of that field as final resting place for those who gave their lives that the nation might live. It IS alto gcthcr fitting and proper that we should do thls
 But, i'll larger sense, we cannot dedicate-We call not consecrate-We cannot hallOw this ground The brave men. living and dead who struggled here have cosecrated it far above poor power to add or de tract. The world will little note nor long remember what here but 1t forget what they did here It is for us the living rather, to be dedicated here the unfinished work which they who fought here so nobv advanced. It is rather for to be dedicated to the great task remaining for sthat from these hon. ored dead take increased devotion to that for which they gave the last full measure of devoon; that here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this naton under God shall have birth of freedom, and that government of the peo pie, government by the people and government for the people shall not perish from the earth.

There is one of many admirable traits of the people of Phoenx-ther habit of holding orderly elections There seldom manifestations at the polls however spirited and even bitter the preceding campaign may have been. Many things had arisen in the late campaign calculated engender ill feeling but the treatment by all factions of one an other at the polls yesterday courteous It has happened and then in the past that things were done at the polls that should not have been done but there was no rough work; always smooth sometimes, may be, d little too smooth.

It was not deemed noteworthy event In the backwoods of Kentucky when on February F, 1so9' one hundred and five years ago today, d babe was born in log hut of obscure, poverty-rIdden par ents Nor when that babe grew to young man hood could the keenest have perceived that he was to play important part in the history ol HIS country and become the foremost American. the best-oved and the worst-hated object Of ms gen eration But for all this Abraham Lincoln set apart. -------------
 We may pass over his remarkable rise, his great achievements, his nobleness of sou ms lar seeing wisdom, his mental stature which made the great men who surrounded him seem mere pysmies' He was destined his weeping war secretary saio when Lincoln died be with the ages He IS part and a large part the history of not only his country. but of the history of mankind. He is towering and unique figure which becomes more commanding as the mist which surrounds eontem- poraneous men and events clears away.
 The life of Lincoln is evidence of an over-rul- ing providence. Other men were born In the early years of the nineteenth century who might have prevented the dissolution of the union but looking back over who figured in the period pre- ceding and during the civil war, we can see none who we believe could have held it together To those of us who believe that the destlnles oi na- tions are nelligentiy ordered it appears that that babe was born in that backWoods hovel to save the nation That nation believes that is proved bv the circumstances that it has converted that hovel into d shrine where it annually worships.
 Lincoln is than the savior of his country in a moment peril He is an inspiration to the youth of his country and to the youth of all coun- tries The stony, mountainous path he trod from a depth from which he could look in no direction but upward invites all youth to an upward journey not necessarily along the path to the presidency worldly greatness, but to uprightness and use fitness.

ID REFORM ELECTION LAW.
Ben Griffin to Introduce Bill For
 Voting Machines.

Little Rock Recent develop znents in Arkansas politics have produced a demand for changes in the state election laws. which
 gilI insure that the will of tho people prevail. This demand will be satisfied, or there will b. more clamOr in the next session of the Arkansas legislature than is'promised in the coming state Democratic convention. The peo. pie are sore and tired of machine politics, and they believe the &imeshas come when votes must be t counted as nthey are cast. There is little doubt but that many counties in the state turned ? count in the last primary which, will fall under close scrutiny-or at least, this is the opinion .of!.t ft.multitude. The people are mostssfair in all things 1nd they want the man who re ceiVed the most votes to have them counted for him.
 The first step to rectify the ob solete system of voting, which  has been in Arkansas since state hood was Sgranted 1t. will be bill which vii. be offered in the next General Assembly by Ben L. Griffin, member from Pu- 4aski county. Representative Griffin will introduce a measure which 1T passed, will put voting machines in every precinct il the state. It is tr1a ha- the cost for the first year 4ii be stu pendous, but the first real, cost, and the reduction in the cost of pnmaries and elections (which come later will return lhe money 3u few'years. He will offer.a bill patterned ' after the New York law, and fit is passed, it. will
The Nevada County picayune., 1914-05-01

be possible for the result of all state elections to be announced early in the night of the election, and there will be no question about the result. Accuracy in the count, as we'll as the saving of time and the lessening of.-cost of elections, are the three fea-
 lures which recommend the yot-
 ing machine so strongly. Accu-
 racy in the count is what the voters of Arkansas insist upon.
 Voting machines are in the na
 ture of a booth, similar to thos
 in use by long distance telephon
 companies. X 1.-The machine has |;
 set of keys with a place for reg istering for each candidate. l
 is impossible to punch.more thar once for any candidate, and it is impossible to punch for more than onesin any race. k The vote is counted as it is Registered ly l paper strip, something like chat ofla piano player. As the voter comes out, thea inner door locks the voting, machine and registers his vote. The voter co ming in the inner door-there being two to the machine opens 1t so that he may register his vote. The two doors .keep the officials back, and insures prlva- y to the voter. All the judges nave to do is toi'pass upon the notifications of the voter. There being no chances for repearers, he count of thesmachines is ab- utely accurate.
 l It is suggested that the3 plan go further and make 1t possible 'or all parties to have primaries at the same time, which can be lone without additional expense, md at the same time do away with machine politics. Such ali arrangement wouldiprevent the Soclalistssand oth- ers, from participatinglin- cratic primaries, a condition now by all parties.
 There seems to be no opposi- tion to any of the suggestions now, but plenty will accumulate before the legislature session IS well under. way, forlthe: machine political counties do not wish a change in their methods of doing business.
