The opening address waa by Governor
Mickey on our "Nation's Needs." Tho

W. B. Rose of the attorney general's staff
and a synopsis of It appears below. Other
speakers were: Judge P. J. Cosgrove,
"Patriotic Citizenship;" Judge Aaron, Wall,
"Our Country;" Representative Spurlock,
"A Man of Testerday and for All Time;"
E. P. Holmes. "The Young Man In Poli

The republican pirty has been happy In
the selection of Its leaders. Kepuuiicans
have always bid high Ideals of statesman
ship and manhood, and with them leader
ship Is not the Inheritance of wealth or
stailon. In selecting their first standard
bearer they chose a man who was born in
the floonesa cabin of a hunter. It Is ninety
four years today' since Abraham Lincoln
was born, snd It Is fitting that the (oung
Men's Republican club should celebrate
another anniversary of the birth of their
martyred leader.
We are all familiar with the little that
Is known ot Lincoln's early life In Hardin
county, Kentueky, where he was born,
and with the pictures ot his rustic birth
place. We have often heard the etnry of
the hardships and poverty of his childhood,
ot his removal to Indiana, where hs grew
to manhood; of his efforts to acquire an
education and to prepare himself tor busi
ness; or nis trips to Mew Orleans, wnere.
Use Moses, his indignation was aroused by
the beating of a slave; of his emigration
to Illinois, where he helped to build a cabin,
where he cleared a field and where he split

One Purpose of Lincoln.
It has taken volumes to record the his
tory which Lincoln has made. Of his in
estimable services to mankind I shall men
tion briefly a single purpose of his ad
ministration, the purpose to enforce the
laws of the United States In every part of
the union.
From the time of the adoption of the
constitution of the I'nlted States there was
more or less discussion of the doctrine that
each state, when going into the union,
retained Inherent power to resist federal
laws or to recede whenever, In the judg
ment of the state authorities, the nation
attempted to enforce measures not war

wo decry patriotism as vulgar and Ignoble.
But when w read in th records of those

outrage denounced Washington, not only as
a federalist, but as a tory, a British agent,
a man who In his high office sanctioned cor
ruption; that no abuse was too malignant.
no epithet too cotrte, no imprecation too
eavago to be employed by tbe assailants of

The great war president was culcglzed by
men who had personally known him.

In tbe capltol at Washington; Lafayette
Young of Pes Moines, Ia.; William E. Cur
tis. Miss Ida M. Tarbell, author of a "Life
of Lincoln," and Henry D. Estabrook, form
erly of Nebraska.
Mr. Boutwell aald in part:
As exponents of the purest and wisest
form of liberty, we may associate three
names Thomas Jefferson, Louis Kossuth
and Abraham Lincoln.
The barbarism of the world hna been
largely due to the denial of equality among
men; wherever there is an Irresponsible
ruling class there will be a degradeO servile
class, and between them every form of
crime.
Thomas Jefferson announced the decline
of equality of human rights. Kossuth de
clared that liberty should be a universal
fiosseaslon. Lincoln approached a practical
lluatratlon of these truth when ne said:
"I believe that this nation cannot endure
half alave and half free."
Trnst Evils Will Die.
In rospondlng to tho toast of "Lincoln,"
Mr. Young said In part:
The country Is In no more danger today
from a combination of riches than It was
from a combination of poverty lees than
seven years ago. The country has out
lived the marching armies of discontent
under Coxey and Kelly, and It will cer
tainly outlive the dangera Incident to
James J. Hill and J. Plerpont Morgan.
The life of Lincoln from IsPS to 11(66 cov
ered the greatest events in the formative
period of the republic. The civil war did
more for America than all the years of
the republic had done before. It destroyed
contentions over trifles snd centered tha
purposes of the people on national life. It
was the beginning of American greatness.
Someone has said of the civil war: "it
crowded four centuries of progress into
four years of war."
Lincoln was too great for the small pur
poses Immediately following the war, ss
he had been too great for some of the
small dispute leading up to it. When he
died at the hands of an assassin his work
waa alreadv rhlrty-flve year ahead of

efforts on the part of the northern states
t3 resist the extension of slavery. The
democratic national convention, which con
vened at Cincinnati In 1856. reaffirmed in
its platform the Kentucky resolutions, ami
made them part of Its creed. It was on
this platform that James Buchanan was
elected president. Four years later. In May,
!00, the republican national convention met
at Chicago and nominated Abraham IJ11
coln for the presidency. He was elected on
a platform containing these words: ' The

hand with the grav-est perils, but in his
Inaugural address he frankly stated his
purpose to carry out the policy of his party
to preserve the union of states, saying:
"I shall take care, as the constitution
itself expressly enjoins upon me, that the
laws of the union be faithfully executed in
all the states."
Cost la Blood and Treasare.
No purpose of a ruler was ever before
carried out at such an txpenee of blood and
treasure as this purpose of President Lin
coln. When he took his seat war was in
evitable, though he expressed the hupe
that it might be av-rrted. He declared
without equivocation -hat there would be
no war t.nlcts 11 was forced upon the na
tion by the defiance of federal authority;
but the south had already begun prepn.a
tions for a conflict. Fort Sumter was fired
upon, mpst of the southern states seceded
In rapid succession, and the southern con
federacy was formed, with Its capltol at
Richmond. When the war began Lincoln
had no thought of freeing the alaves or of
depriving the southern people of their
ilghta or property. The one consuming
purpose of his administration was to en
force the laws of the United States In
very part of the union, and so when e
made his first call for 75,000 troops it was,
as said In the call Itself, "'o repossess the
infis. pln.w and property which has been
seized from the union."
Four awful years of blood and carnage
ensued before hie armies repossessed the
forts, places and property which had been
seized from the union, and before he cou'.d
enforce the federal authority In the states
which had seceded; but the union victory
St Petersburg, the fall of Richmond and
the surrender of I-ee at Appomattox came
at last.
As soon as IJtifuln h'ard of the evacua
tion of Richmond he hastened to that city,
realizing that trie war waa almost ended.
One of the purposes of this visit, as shown
by a memorsndum which he left behind,
was to require, bs a condition of peace,
th restoration "f fe Wral authority through
out all the states and the disbanding of all
hcetilr forces. It was also his intention,
in the event of peace, to ameliorate, as far
as possible, the afflictions of those who had
resisted his authority, and to consider at
the earliest possible moment all proposi
tions to ristore amicable relations between
the north and -the south. A few days after
h left Richmond and four days before he
was struck down by an assassin. Apru 11.
165. he delivered an address in Washington
and spoke of the status of the confederate
states and their relation to the union, say
ing: States Par pose Toward Booth.
"Finding themselves safely at home. It
would be utterly Immaterial whether they
haa ever been abroad.''
When Lincoln waa ia Richmond for the
last time lie was in the abandoned capltol
of the conlederacy, and In the very house

CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 12. Archbishop Ire
land of St. Paul was the guest of honor at
a banquet given at the Auditorium hotel
tonight by the Lincoln club. Archbishop
Ireland aald In part:
The republic Is what It Is because It
has remained what Washington Intended
It to be, what Uncoin bade It to be a
fovernment of the people, by the people,
or the people. This Is what It must re
main. If It Is still to live and reign. Every
man under the flag must be equal before
the law In civil and political rights; it
matters not what his place of birth, what
his religious creed, what the color of his
face. If he Is an American citizen, the
laws of the land must shield him, the
favors of the land must flow upon him.
To .announce, for instance, that the citizen

can In wnose neari mere ever uveu
thoughts of the blue and the gray.
But the unification of the republic, tho
reiteration of the union, did not come when
the battles of 1HR5 were ended. But In 1W8.
when the Spaniard blew up the Maine.
By that shock tne country was eiecinoeu
and the work was complete. The old flag
once more became the flag of the south
as well as the north.

day wa celebrated by the republican club

velt and Robert T. Lincoln, regretting their

The president' letter wa as follows:
"Will yu ples.se present to th members
of the club my sincere regrets that I can
not be with yi at the Lincoln birthday
dinner. I feel that not only the republican
party but all believers should do everything
In their power to keep alive the memory
of Abraham Lincoln. The problem we
have to solve a nation are not th samo
he bad to face, but they can be solved
aright only If we bring to their solution
exactly his principle and hi method and
hi Iron resolution; his keen good sense,
hi broad kindliness, hi tactical ability
and hi lofty Idealism. ,
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
Ex-Governor Black spoke on "Abraham
Lincoln." He aald In part:
Frank I. Black said:
When we understand the advantages of
a humble birth, when we realise that tho
privations of youth are the pillars of
strength to maturer years, then we shall
cease to wonder that out of such obscure
surroundings as wstched the coming of
Abraham Uncoin ahouid spring that colos

Groves are better than temples, fields are
better than gorgeous carp tings, rail fences
are better than lines of kneeling slaves and
the winds are better than music If you are
raising horses and founding governments.

poor, without aid or accidental circum
stances, rising as steadily as the sun,

have ripened Into self-governing manhood,
the rlghta of that manhood must be theirs;
and meanwhile the mission of the flag is to
hasten them toward such manhood. The
day must be expected when our territories
will be states, when our island possessions

not be the apanage of a republic
The United States Is by force of Ir

is to be allowed to turn it backward from
its traditional policies, to circumscribe Its
legitimate tleld of Influence or to lower In
the smallest degree the prestige of Ita

forbids that we do so.
And. while we proclaim that no harm,
no dishonor, shall come to th republic
