come to dedicate portion of that field
as final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation
might live. II is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense. we cannot
dedicate-we cannot consecrate - we
cannot hallow-this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note nor long remem-
ber what we say here. but it can never
forget what they did here. Ii is foi
us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have so nobly ad-
vanced.
II is rather for us TO be here dedi

fore us-that from these honored deaC
we take increased devotion to thai
cause for which they gave the last ful
measure of devotion; that We her,
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain; that this nation
under God, shall have new birth o.
freedom; and that government of the
people, by the people, and for the peo
pie shall not perish from the earth.
All of us have read or heard th'
great speech many times. Now j
should have a new meaning 1t shoult
spur US on, each to make ungrumbling
ly the greatest sacrifice in his powe
to carry to a successful issue the figh
we are now engaged in.

A FINE PLAN

Hereafter all drives for patriotic
purposes will be eliminated in Aber.
deem, Wash. That city has established
war chest fund. Says dispatch:
Practically every merchant, whole
saler and manufacturer in the city has
pledged himself to give stipulated
sum monthly into this fund and pledges
so far secured indicate that during
1918 there will be collected SIS, 900 into
this fund for war purposes.
The scheme was designed to elimin-
ate future drives here, except those for
the sale of liberty bonds.
Assessments for Y. M. c. A., Red
Cross, Y. w. C. A. Armenian, Knights
of Columbus and Salvation Army will
be met from this fund. The fund will
make it possible for Aberdeen to pay
spot cash to any of the national COM
mittees in charge of drives.
In raising the war chest fund the
manufacturers and loggers are pledged
to give $40, 900 during the year. Mer-
chants will give upwards of S15, ,000
and professional men and landlords
will give an equal amount.
By such a system the citizens of Abb
erdeen will conserve much energy. At
one operation, provided the program is
carried out, the work of dozen drives
will be eliminated. But one criticism
may be suggested through the absence
of the stimulating effect of the CAM
paigns Aberdeen may drop into rut
of lethargy. Yet the very Ivirility of
the original plans, it would seem, pre-
cludes such contingency.
