MANY PRESENT rROM ALL OVER STATE Governor Bailer of Kansas, Congress man Prlnee of Illinois and Judge Ilobertson of Nebraska the Orotors. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. L -(Special. )-Thls was Lincoln day In Lincoln and at a banquet given by the Young Men's Republican cluli at the Llndell hotel tonight tribute was paid to the memory of the martyred president and his life and his deeds were told over again. Representative of the diplomatic corp of the United States, the executive of the state, a representative of the I'nlted States congress, members of the supremo court "of the state and lay men Joined in honoring the memory of the rreat emancipator, and Incidentally In en dorsing the republican party and Ita presi dent. The guests of honor were D. E. Thomp son, t'nlted States minister to. Brazil; Gov ernor John II. Mickey, Judge S. H. Bedg wlck. Judge John B. Barnes of the su preme bench. The speakers and their sub jects were: Governor Wllllum Bailey of Kansas, "Kansas and Nebraska;" Con gressman Prince of Illinois, "Our Country;" and Judge W. M. Robertson of Norfolk, "Lincoln." Governor Bailey and Judge Robertson ar rived in Lincoln yesterday evening, the former accompanied by Mrs. Bailey, be ing met at Table Rock by a committee composed of Colonel C. J. Bills, appointed his special aide; Major R. K. Giffin and Colonel C. V. Kvans. Last night he was entertained by Governor Mickey, together with the staff of the governor and their wives, at the executive mansion at dinner. Jrdge Robertson was met at Fremont and escorted to the city by Victor Seymour, W. L. Anderson and Dr. Graham. Con gressman Prince arrived this morning from Washington and was escorted Into the city by Don C. Pespain, chief clerk In the department of labor; F. M. Moore and A. Hayden Myer. The exact time of the ar rival of Mr. Prince was not known to the committee and It took several trips up and down the road from here to Omaha before he was finally li'scovered and brought in, with honors befitting the oc casion. Opens vflth Reception. The banquet was held In the dining room of the Llndoll hotel and about 250 guests were present, coming from all parts of the state. For two hours previous to the opening of the doors to the banquet hall a public reception was held In the lobby and hundreds were Introduced to the dis tinguished visitors. Judge P. James Cosgrave, president of the club, presided as toastmaster and In his Introductory speech gave a rhort sketch of the Ybung Men's Republican club, und in a lighter vein introduced the speakers.. Governor Halley was the first and after paying a tribute to Lincoln, told of the early history of the states of Kan sas and Nebraska, of their organization and a history of their acts In the political world. He contrasted the times then and now and spoke at length of the need of good citizenship and of the need of emu lators of Abraham Lincoln. Judge Houertson's Address. Judge W. M. Robertson had the toast "Abraham Lincoln." He painted a picture of the rise of Lincoln from obscurity to the great prominence he attained, told of hia trials and .patience during, the war, and of his tad death Just when he seemed to have reached the height, and then said: The soldiers of the late war have every reason to nold him in grateful remem nrance, ior nis love ana airectlon for them was remarkable for its tendorness and simplicity. In the darkest hours of the war when perplexed almost bevond endurence. Mr. Lincoln always gave audience to the soldiers and visited them in cumn and hospital, with words of comfort and of cheer. Tlie drooping spirit of many a lad and man was revived by the kindness and good cheer of Mr. Lincoln. They knew his nature and had confidence in bis good senHe and good Judgment and when they spoke, of him It was in the language . f a friend and brother; he had no more sincere mourners at the time of his death and burial than the blue clad soldiery of the republic. There seems to be some diversity of opinion as to the effect of a higher educa tion upon the Individual, and very able men have just lately been discussing the C iestion as to what Its, effect might have been upon Mr. Lincoln. It seems to me tnat while a better education In the schools or colleges might have made him greater from an educational point of Jew. It would have removed him from us, as he was, he was the ' great commoner." Had he been polished Slid rounded out with a college education he could not have main tained his hold so closely upon the masses of the people. There can lie no question, perhaps, a to the beneficial results of a college education to any person, but Mr. Lincoln was an educated man along those lines that make a man strong, self reliant and capable. It was not the edu cation of the schools. It is true; it was the education he derived from his intercourse with nature and his fellow men. supple mented with that which he acquired from study and experience. Lincoln's Grrnt Ability. No matter what may be the opinion now as to the effect of a higher education upon Mr. Lincoln, the fact remains that he was able to dt fend the principles for which he contended In any intellectual combat. The celebrated debates between Mr. Douglas and himself amply illustrated this; then again. Ills state papers and addresses were models of clearness of expression, clean rut, concise and full of matter for thought. Where Is the person today who does not remember bis Gettysburg address, and how many people are there who can tell us any thing about the address of Kdward Kverett upon (he same occasion? Mr. Everett's able and lengthy sddress was the produc tion of a ripe scholar and It has been pro nounod eminently fitting for the time and the occasion. Mr. Lincoln's address was very brief and was written on some odd scraps oi' paper on the morning of the same day on which he delivered it. We remember the one, breathing out the very Innermost thoughts of the man, but have forgotten the other. There are many les sons to be leurned from the life and public service of Mr. Lincoln, but the one which most appeals to us now and here Is, that any young man in this republic of ours, no matter what his condition in life may be, can aspire to and become great if he has those elements in him which make men great. Not all of us possess them, perhapx, but with such a rhuracter in mind it Is worth while for the young man to strive to emulate his example. Mr. Lincoln was to my mind the ideal statesman, and wlth all he was s politician in the true sense of the term, not perhaps In the sense that some, of our modern politicians may con strue the term. We may well, take heed t '.he ideas In statesmanship and politiva that were the g-ilde of Mr. Lincoln's ca reer as a statesman. He was a manly man. therefore he was an honest man In politics, he did not say one thing to your face and another behind your back: he was neither a hypocrite, a sycophant or a time server: be was as true to his friends as the needle to the pole: ready to give blows, he never shrank when they were returned. Taken all In all. he stands before us as a man pure and honest, against whom tlie charge o' anything like dishonesty or deceit In his public or private life has never success fully been made; a model for the young man of today. loirrr of Gratllratlon. It Is a source of gratification to us that we can point with pride to such men as Lincoln and McKinley: their garments were clean, clear of any political taint or slime, and their Uvea will be an Inspira tion to us and the generations yet unborn. In the glare of the searchlight in the present day we see men who stand out In bold relief as statesmen and leaders, but among there all. snd witli no dealre on my part to detract from their greatness, fur many of them are great: there is no Lincoln. Reverse the searchlight : let Its penetrating rays shed their light down and across the centuries which have passed an 1 gone and let us see if In thsl fierce light we can discern among the great leaders of the psst, any one of them, standing; out prominently in the fore- ground, towering above all bis fellows: aye, there he stands alone, as the giant oak of the forest towers above those of lesser stature surrounding it, unique, grand, sublime. Immortal, and his name Is Abraham Lincoln. Congressman Prince of Illlrols bad the toast, "Our Country." In his opening re marks he dlgresssed to a degtee in order to lay a verbal wreath at the memory of the great martyred president, and feelingly referred to Lincoln as a man, as a ststes man, and as a citizen of the I'nlted States. He then wi nt on: We are made up of all nationalities. The Inventive skill, the genius, the ability, the rfsulls of the best thought and of the best training of all the dlllerent countries of the world Is focalized In mcrlca. The necessary resultant is the highest type of manhood and of womanhood. This won derfnjieople. unlike most peoples of the woihlM thoroughly imbued with the love of civil and religious liberty. Every move made by this people. In a governmental sense, has for its purpose the enlargement of civil and religious liberty. For that purpose, these people have established and maintained voluntarily and at great ex pense, the public schools. At the begin ning of each school year, from, the rising of the sun in the far east to the retting of the same In the west, there is to be seen the wonderful spectacle of over 16, 0)0,001) of children, with all the hope and till ivancy of youth, marching Into tlie pub lic free school. These are the future men and women who nre to continue and perpetuate the great liberties which their fathers and mothers gave to them. We are now expending annually as salaries to teachers more than $160.0no.noo. I am unable to say how much we are expending In the construction and maintenance of public schools, but It Is safe to say It Is In the hundreds of millions. This people Is also being educated through the public news papers and periodicals, of which there are narly 21.000 published in the 1'nited Statrs. The various religious denominations In America dwell together In peace and har mony, and they, too. shape and form the character and conduct, at their respective expenoe. of the people who compose this great nation. Through the channels of the f.ee schools, of the free press, of free thought, and through religious teaching and toleration, the citizens are prepared to enter upon their great work and responsi bility. Within the limits of the United States we have over liOA.OOO miles of rail roads. The American railways, if the globe should be circled, would form an eight track system around it. We have an In ternal, free trade among the different stales of more than UO.OUO.OO&.OCO. Individual Prosperity. We sometimes hear the statement made that there Is but very little opportunity for the average man to acquire any prop erty. I cannot rubscrlbe to the truth of that statement. in 1K there were 7,305, 2ai depositors in savings banks. Almost one in ten of our population was a deposi tor In savings banks. In )R00 the average wealth, per capita, was $513.93. In l!i0 the wealth, tier capita, waa $1,5. S6, being more than twice rb much as in lfWO. Time will not permit me to mention to you the progress that our country has made in Its material Industries, 1 de sire to call your attention to some other thoughts this evening. I have spoken of the greatness of our country snd lis re scouices, as well as the greatness of our people, with their wonderful capabilities for the purpose of showing the high duties and resnoiislbllltles of American citizen ship. This people must have laws made for them. Their public affairs must lie conserved. Their development, materlil and otherwise, must keep pace with other pooples of other countues. uur nation must keop abreast of the nations of the world. Pardon me. if I say, It Is not only our duty to keep abreast, but It Is our duty to lead the nations of the world In every thing that makes for the good of man kind. We occupv the forefront of all the nations of the world. This position has not tome to us accidentally. This position has rome to us only through the tireless labor of the great leaders of thought and of action in our own land. The great problem, which public men have to determine. Is how to legislate so that the government will obtain ample money through taxation. Internal and for eign, to meet its obligations, carry on its great work, without, at the same time. Im posing an onerous burden upon the tax payers. In addition,, the wise legislator neeks to legislate In such a way that th nation shall produce, T.-ithin Its border, everything possible for the necessity, com fort and convenience of the people, so that the nation may be self-supporting and Independent of other countries. In addi tion, the wise iegiahUor seeks to so legis- lnla that hta nuin country Will be UPOI1 peaceable and amicable terms with all the nations of the world. The purpose of government Is to insure domestic peace and tranquility and to tKive to each citizen an opportunity to make for himself all possible advancement and progress of which he is capable. Growth of Keren Years. Tt hm hfen mv eood fortune, through the p-rtiallty and kindness of my district, to have been a member of congress from the time that President MCKimey iook inn oath of office up to the present time. I have a clear recollection oi ine uwkhiui condition, financially and otherwise, in which our country was, prior to the incoin- inv r,r ihn r eto i hi lea n nartv. Marcn iroi. In a modest way I have taken part in the legislation which has been enacted since that date. We have seen the result of thet legislation upon the welfare of our country. We have seen our country emerge from a position of partial Isolation to one of world wide influence and power. We have seen the reuniting of the sections of our coun try, through the action of the Spanish war, until toda wc nre as never before a united. indissoluble nation. We have seen the re organization and enlargement of our army and our navy. We have seen the great crnulli of our manufacturing establish merits, until today we have practically raptured the markets of the world. We have seen the great growth in our foreign trade until the stream, the balance of trade, has come surging in upon our own country. We have seen our country go upon a gold basis, and as a result every dollar has been made equal to every other dollar and Is worth loO cents the round world over. We have seen tne volume or our currency Increase so that today we have per capita, the largest amount at any time in the history of our country. We have now almost $30 per capita, of which each dollar Is equal to the best gold dohar that wns ever coined. I challenge the his tory of the world to show a country which has moved forward by such leaps and bounds of prosperity aa our country has from the 4th day of March. 197. down to the night of the U'th of February. 1904. It may tie claimed by some that we have no right to give the major portion of this credit for our country's prosperity to the legislation of the republican party. Allow me to suggest to such persons, who hold these views, that when our democratic friends were Mi power they had the sama material and climatic conditions, the same sunshine and rain, the same seed and har vest, the same soli, mountains and rivers, that the republican party had. We have not changfd the natural conditions only In-ro-far as through legislation to our fellow inen to develop their skill and ability to such an extent as has tended to their wel fare and the welfare of the country at large. In view of these facts, which are Inillsputatle, is there any question in the minds of anyone, what will be the result of the coming national election? Has the party In power proved recreant to its trust? Has the rarty In power failed to come up to the full measure of the peo ple's expectation? Can the party out of power better the present conditions? When the party now out of power was In power was the conditions In our country better iiun ihev are now? These are questions which the people will answer for them selves in tneir own way in inn ruiiuiii No vember. The standard bearer of the coming con test will lie its present courageous, fear less leader, who llkewuse has the confidence of the people, the president. He will be triumphantly elected and will see to it that the' high standard set by Lincoln, Orant and McKlnlev shall not be lowered and that the affairs of the government will be In safe hands and that this government "of the people, for the people, and by the people" shall not perish, hut shall con tinue forever as the "land of the free and the home of the brave."
