Americans need more than ever
to revert to the homely philoso-
ply and irrefutable logic of Abra-

lowing the social, moral and indus
trial upheaval of the world, as the
result of the World war" Oscar h.

the United Spanish War Veterans
today said at the unwilling of the
Lincoln circuit marker in Bloom

Bloomington chapter, Daughters OF
the American Revolution.
This day, concentrating the
anniversary of the birth of the
American flag is an suspicious mo
ment to unveil this beautiful
bronze marker" he said, "ind1cat-
ing the way one travelled who was
destined with the swords keen
point to fix each glittering star IN
that field of blue so thoroughly
that no chief magistrate of this
great nation should ever again be
called upon to repeat the process

of Illinois and the nation.
mo more striking example OF the
great opportunities for honor and
service to men of lowly origin and
limited advantage which America
and no other nation offers her sons,
can be found in the lists of the IL
lustrious men and women of our
country than is evidenced by the
life and character of Lincoln
I'm the group of great jurists
and lawyers whose names are en-
graved upon the record of the de-
velopment of Jurisprudence in I'LL
nois, with whom he Travelled this
circuit for 10 years practicing law,
he felt himself humbled by his lin
itations of knowledge of the tech

his innate sense of justice, his
sense of answering honor as a
standard, enabled him to penetrate
the maze of technically and dis

to gain those ends, he won for him
