Forescore and seven years ago (although two members
of the Wickersham Commission held it was forescore and
eight years ago and three others believe the score should be
|dsregarded and only the number of first downs c~onsidered)
our fathers Newton D.. Baker and Dean Pound believe the
mothers should get a break too) brought forth upon this con-
tinent chairman Wickersham claims it came in the ffth) a
new nation ida Comstock dissenting and claiming it was sec
ond handed) conceived in liberty and dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are created equal.
(Six members believe this proposition should be given
further study, while four more feel that all men are not Gre
ated equal and birth statistics should be checked and recheck-
ed before taking such a definite stand. However, the commits
sion is unanimous that the Nation was created some time or
other, but doubts there were any dedication exercises connect
ed with it,
Now we are engaged although Judge Kenyon announ-
|cs the engagement is broken) in a great Civil War with
chairman Wickersham dissenting and calling it a noble ex-
periment), testing whether the Nation or any other Nation
(Mr. Macintosh believes the speech should be confined to
this Nation without regard to the Swedish or Quebec plans
but will sign the report just the same) SO conceived and so
dedicated (hree members are against using these words a
second time) can long endure. 1.-TWO members believe the
testing period should be extended ten more years, five favor
a referendum by the people, and the other four think the civil
war should be called off.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate (Messrs. Crubb
and Loesch want to know why not,) we cannot consecrate
(Mr. Anderson objects to this), we cannot halloW this ground
Give members favor narrowing this ground and giving the
farmers relief)
The brave men living and dead Dean Pound and Mr..
Lemann feel the convalescents should be included too), who

Wickersham thinks this is a dirty knock at the electric utilities

adding and subtracting should be a better method, so long as
it does not mean the return of the saoon)
The world will little note Judge Kenyon would substi-
tute the Herald Tribune for the World, and Mr.. Wickersham
always reads the Times) not long remember what we say
here. Nine members object to such a flat statement as that
But it can never forget what they did here. (Dean Pound Of
fers statistics proving most peoples memory are short and
therefore declines to subscribe to this paragraph
This Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of free
dom (although Messrs. Wickersham and Mackintosch are
very much against i), and government of the people, by the
people, for the people shall not parish from the earth.
MIR Anderson and Miss .Comstock believe Government
from the people, to the people, at the people" would read bet
ter. Mr.. Mccormick thinks, Government on the people, off
the people, in the people is a more suitable phrase, and
Chairman Wickersham is not only against the use of prepo-
sitions at all, but thinks doctors prescriptions should be cur
tailed too
(lhe commission is a unit however in agreeing that Get
tysburg is battlefield and a lot Of soldiers are buried there.)
