ANOTHER pIscovERER DisuoNORED

ON lWashingtan's birthday Mr. Luclen High
Alexauder Of philadelphia gained some publicity
for himself by advising the country through
the mcdum of the news associations that he had
dlscovcred' something hitherto unknown
speech by Abraham Lincoln paying eloquent
tribute to George Washington
II was Mr. Alexanders explanation that the
speech had been delivered by Lincoln in lSa2,
and had remained hidden in the files OF the
Sungamon Ollnois) journal all these years and
had Just been discovered by him while search
ing these old files in the congressional library.
The other day. whilc refreshing his memory
concerning the high points In Washngtons life
preparatory to giving an address on that sub
lcct before the Lions club, Mr.. Carl Magoe
visited the public library, and. while running
through a reference book entitled, Washing

coin speech that Mr Alexander had put over on
