memory Of the great President.
Kiper Chief Speaker
Roscoe Kiper of Boonville, former
State Senator and a student of the
life Of Lincoln, was the principal
speaker at tOday's ceremonies. En-
NETT F. Branch. Lieutenant Governor,
presided and Governor McCray made
a short talk.
The Governor spoke Of the fact that
Lincoln spent fourteen years in In
diana.
1T is surprising he said, that
we took so long TO realize how close
Lincoln was to this State"
Kiper referred to Lincoln as zone
of the pillars Of our temple Of
democracy"
Inspiration for Today
1t is Wei that we in this day Of
strife and dissension. pause and drink
deeply at the fountain of patriotic in
spiratiOn and gain confidence to meet
the problems that are before us" he
said. Lincoln has sunk deep into the
subconsciousness Of the American
people
How unfortunate it would have
been if we had a background, not of
Washingtond and Lincoln. but of a
Napoleon, "A Caesar. a Frederick the
Great. or a Peter the Great. If We
:, had such a background Of the spirit of
conquest I wonder where America
would be today"
Supreme Optimist
Kiper said Lincoln had the char
acter of a supreme Optimist.
When clouds of rebellion were how
ering the thickest, this man could see
through a rift d harbinger of victory
and prophesy of a future Of great
ness for the Republic"
Kiper pointed out that Lincoln
lived in Indiana from the time he was
until ne was q and that the HOOsier
State had a great share in forming his
character. He told Of the journey Of
the Lincoln family TO Indiana. of its
settlement in Spencer County, of Lin
coins association with great men who
lived in this part of the State and of
his development into manhood. He
said Lincoln in his associations had
many opportunities usually over
looked.
