that it would be patriotic unless the
great me of Lincoln was mentioned
at any public function or gathering on
this this birthday. 81 no doubt am the
only contemporary OF Abraham Lin
coin, who is here tonight" said Mr.
Mckinney, who as a boy Of ten remem-
bered honest Old Abe" He paid a
high tribute to Lincoln, who was more
highly regarded year by year as the
sectionel prejudice was wiped out.
Lincoln had said in his immortal "Ad-
dress at Gettysburg that this nation
as conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men were
created equal" and that now more than
ever before we should turn to hearken
to that one great statesman The
principles now at stake not only at
feet our country but the whole world.
It applies to the religion and civiliza-
ton of the whole world and failure to
gain a victory means to set back the
dial OF civilization and the destruction
Of religion.
He Congratulated the young men
who were at the front trying to do their
part and he urged every community to
do its part as well as every organi1a-
ton. He laid stress on Lincoln's ref
erence "a new birth of freedom"
which he cleaned from his immortal
address. He contrasted those times
with these of the present when hui
mainly and personal liberty are IN the
balance. They are the corner stone o.
the edifice Of national freedom, he de-
ciared.
The speaker than told how Lincoln's
Address at Gettysburg" was one OF
the gems OF the English language and
Was regarded as one of the greatest
OF classics for his brevity and power
fUl import He pictured how Edward
Everett, the historian and tatesman,
had worked for weeks on his o=ation.
which required one anda half hours to
dsliver. Everett's remarks ELECTED
cheers and he was very favorabIy re-
ceived. The immortal Lincoln had
written his famous address on the
back Of an envelope while riding or a
train between Washington and Gettys-
burg and it consisted of scrubbed
notes. Lincoln's speech had the heart
throb to it and the people embraced
it as no one address has been in the
history Of the American nation. In
closing 8Ir. Mckinney said that I'VE
hould be dedicated and consecrated
to the great propositions that remain
before u.s." reading Lincoin's Address
at Gettysburg" in full.
The closing address OF the evening
was delivered by Captain John
o'Hierne, OF the local Salvation Army.

Fourteen hundred refugees from the

Many had walked continuously for
five days and nights before reaching
the train which took eight weary days

so packed that many stood up the en-

bursts Of rain. the difficult crossing Of
swollen streams and sodden plains,

became separated, children lost their
parents and the few little treasures
from their homes were gradually drop

honor struck the keynote Of the whole
situation; when he safd 1T vas the most
pleasant campaign that 1 have ever
worked in The mayor was blunt
enough TO admit he did not like can
yassing. but said he was enjoying 1t
more and more. In a humorous way
he told how some of the progressive
CAPTAINS had cut in" on his terri
tory, but he took it with grace and be-
!ieyed that It was a game of "'tlrst
come first served"
Following the mayor ]. NJ. Jacobs,
president of the Chamber of Com
nlerce. was introduced as the next
sneaker. In opening he said that he
would have felt sighted if he had not
been asked to help in this campaign.
1T was the most pleasant campaign
I ever worked in" added Mr.. Jacobs.
Everything was put in shape for clear
sailing yesterday. He felt satisfied

J. L. Watson. Jr.. the host Of the
evening, was next called upon for a
response. In the way of introduction
Mr.. Wiegel, who acted as chairman OF
the gathering, said that Mr.. watson
had a sister lat the 'front.' who was
rendering i patriotic service to her
country. He asked Mr.. Watson 10 tell
OF her activities there. Mr.. Watson
stated that his sister was located ten
miles back of the French lines and the
big French guns. lie told of how
these workers were furnishing cloth
ing to the widows and orphans. lie
reviewed a Christmas party among
the refugees at a point somewhere IN
France" He pictured the children as
they were robed in new frocks and
mfttens and were each presented with
an orange as the gift of the Chicago
Tribune. The oranges looked the best
to them. In that way Mr.. Watson
showed what a good work can be car
ried on Fitting the people with shoes

behind the trenches. He sad that his
sister states that she vas never hap

AS a folIow-up of Mr.. Watson's last
reference Mr.. Wiegel added "a burden

''Lincoln's burden was as great as

Mr.. Mckinney said he did not think

between the railrads and the people
generally. That seems to be the
trend. The railroads have invited
the enmity Of the pubic in many in
stances in the past but it is equally
true that the public has been most
unfair to the railroads. so possibly the
present good feeling can appropriate
