ent. Many of them had come on special
train" from Ixuisville and othrr Ken
tucky centers. The bulk of the assembly
was pomposid. however, of the country
folk from Larue and adjacent counties.
There was a notahle absence of negroes
In the crowd, but those present were
wedged In with the whites, showing that
none had been kept away by race
prejudice.
Among those who had been expected to
he present was Mrs. Ben Hardin Helm,
the only surviving sister of Mrs. Lincoln,
2 years old, but she was kept at her
home in Louisville, much to the regret
of all. by her lnlirmities.
President's Arrival on Scene.
The exercises were conducted under a
tent, erected alongside the cabin In which
Lincoln was born Jt years ago. The
weather was sufficiently disagreeable to
render the tent useful. The President
and his immediate party nrrived shortly
before 1 o'clock after a drive over a
heavy red clay road from Hogenville.
and five minutes afterward Governor
"Vlllson called the assemblage together
and introduced Rev. E. L. Powell, of the
First Christian Cnurch of Louisville, who
pronounced the Invocation.
, The President was frequently Inter
rupted by applause. Mr. Roosevelt con
fined himself closely to his manuscript,
except at the beginning he departed from
It to make reply to complimentary allus
ions to himself by Governor Folk. The
extemporaneous part of the speech was
as follows:
Party Difference Forgotten.
Before I tvecin my set speech I wish to say
end word a to me composition or me peo
ple who address you today, mid what that
means. Here we have to greet us men of
both political parties, men representing tne
North and the South; we have a Governor
of Kentucky of one party and at the last
Presidectlal election your state went the
ether way; we have an ex-Govemor of Mis
souri of the other party and at the last
presidential election his succession went the
other way.
You see. Governor Folk, the stranger Is
growing less and less mysterious.
Now, Governor Folk, you have introduced
me In a way that went to my heart, be
cause the kind of thinns I hare tried to
stand for is the same kind of .things that
you have tried to stand for.
And then we are greeted by ex-Confeder-stes
and ex-Union men and an ex-Confederate
and an ex-Union soldier are to
sreak. and the ex-Cenfrderate is in my
Cabinet as Secretary of War. He does not
belong to any political party, hut he and
I have stood for the same N'atlonal prin
ciples of recent years and indeed for the
same Presidential candidates, and he is part
of an entirely harmonious administration.
Two Greatest Americans.
We have met here to eelehrate the hun
dredth annlverJJiry of the birth of one of
the two greatest Americans; of one of the
two or three icrate.-"i men of the nineteenth
' rntury; of one of the greatest men In the
world's history. This ratl-splltter, this hoy
who passed his ungainly youth In the dire
poverty of the poorest of the frontier folk,
hose rise was by wary and painful labor,
lived to lead his people through the burn
tng flames of a struggle from which the
Nation emerged, purllicd as by fire, born
anew to a loftier life. After long years of
lm effort, and of failure that came more
r f ten than victory, he at last rose to the
leadership of the Republic at the moment
t.hen that leadership had become the stu
pendous world-task of the time. He grew
to know greatness, but never ease. Success
came to blm. but never happiness, save that
which springs from doing well a painful
and a vital task. Power was hlr, but not
pleasure. The furrows deepened on his
brow, but his eyes were undimmed by
either hate or fear. His gaunt shoulders
were bowed, but his steel thews never
faltered as he bore for a burden the des
tinies of his people. His great and tender
heart shrank from giving pain, and the
task allotted him was to pour -out like
water the life-blood of the young men. and
to feel in his every nher the sorrow of the
women. Disaster saddened, but never dis
mayed blm. As the red years of war
went by they found blm ever doing his
duty In the present, ever facing the future
with fearlees front, high of heart, and
dauntless of so'il. Unbroken by hatred,
unshaken by scorn, he worked and Buttered
for the people. Triumph was his at the
last, and barely had he tasted it before
murder found him, and the kindly, patient,
fearless eyes were closed forever.
Mr. Roosevelt went on to compare the
characters of Washington "the Virginia
landed gentleman," and Lincoln, "the
Kentucky backwoodsman," and said "the
qualities they showed are exactly the
same as those we should show In doing
our work: today.'
Lincoln's Prophetic Vision.
In part his address continued:
Lincoln saw into the future with the pro
phetic imagination usually vouchsafed only
to the poet and the seer. No more prac
tical man ever lived than this homely back
Woods ideal Urt.
We of tn day must try to solve many
erclal and industrial problems, requiring to
an especial degree the combination of In
domitable resolution with cool-headed san
ity. We can profit by the way in which Lin
coln used both theee traits as he strove for
reform. We caa learn much of value from
the very attacks which following that course
brought upon his head, attacks alike by the
extremists of revolution and by the ex- J
tremlsta) of reaction.
Did Not Hate Opponents .
Perhaps the moet wonderful thing of all
was the extraordinary way In which Lin
coln could fight valiantly against what he
deemed wrong and yet preserve undiminished
his love and respect for the brother from
whom he differed. In the hour of a tri
umph that would have turned any weaker
man's hra'I. In the heat of a struggle which
spurred many a good man to dreadful vln
dlrt'.venesa. he said truthfully that so Wng
as he had been In hi office he had never
willingly planted a thorn In any man's bos
om, and besought his supporters to study the
incidents of the trial through which they
were passing as philosophy from which to
lrarn wisdom and not as wrongs to be
avenged: ending with the solemn fxhortatlon
that, as the etrife was over, alls should re
unite In a common effort to save their com
mon country. H did not hate the man
from whom he differed. Weakness was as
foreign ns wickedness to his strong, gentle
nature: hut his courage was of a quality so
high that it ree-ied no bolstering of dark
paselnn. He sr.w clearly that the sarnie high
finalities', tr.e same courage, and willingness
for sacrifice, and devotion to the rifc'ht as It
was given them to see the right, belonged
bth to the men of the North and to the
men of the- South.
Proud of Mightiest of Mini.
An the years roll by. and as all of us.
' wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal
pride In the valor and self-devotion, alike
of the men who wore the blue and the
men who wore the gray, so this whole Na
tion will grow to feel a. peculiar sense of
pride in the mightiest of the mighty men
who mastered the mighty days: the lover of
hl country and of all mankind; the man
whose blood was shed for the union of his
people snd for the freedom of a race, Abra
ham Lincoln.
The President applied the first trowel
ful of mortar thct will hold the corner
grateful negro citizens."
The President boarded his train for
Louisville at 3:45 P. M-, expecting to ar
rive at Washington about 2 P. M. to
morrow. Uncouth as Lincoln's Life.
Something of the uncouthness so insep
arable from Lincoln during his life time
was distinct in the heart of the cere
mony. The enshrining of a flower
mantled, but withal dingy structure of
logs, within a noble structure of marble,
one block of which would buy a settle
ment such as that In which the Llncolns
lived when Abraham was born, cannot
but retain some elements of the rural
and the, homespl.n.
The tent which served as an auditor
ium was roped off from the crowd which
gathered around the hallowed spot. In
the center, beside the platform for the
speakers and tlio machinery of the cor
nerstone laying. Is the cabin itself, a
little building not over Jti feot square,
built of logs, notched and laid together
pioneer fashion. The logs are worn
smooth where the bark has peeled oft and
rotted, and now they are a dirty, leaden
gray.
The board roof Is In fair condition, and
the puncheon floor, patched as though
"Shiftless Tom.'' as Abrahams father
was known, had knelt down one afternoon
and done the very chores.
Cabin Set in Flowers.
By the suggestion of some of the kindly
Kentuckians. whose co-operation made
the entira celebration possible in a rural
county, the native cabin was set in a cas
ket of flowers, the gift of the school chil
dren of Kentucky.
The cabin stands a half mile inside the
gate of the farm, and as none was al
lowed to bring his vehicle within this
gate, there was a forking delta of human
ity and color settling toward and aj-ound
the cabin during the time before the cere
monies and when It was seen that there
was no more room within the tent.
The only Incident worthy of noto on the
run from Louisville was the crossing of
Salt River, which was accomplished at
West Point. There trie President deliv
ered a few words of greeting to a small
crowd standing In the mud. but he made
no reference to the proximity orf the his
toric stream on whose bank his train
stood.
SHERMAN SPEAKS ON LINCOLN
Vice-President-elect Principal Ora
tor at Pittsburg1.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 12. Vice-Presidentelect
James S. Sherman, of New York,
was the principal speaker at the Cham
ber of Commerce dinner at the Hotel
Schenley here tonight. An address on
"The Ship Subsidy" was delivered by
Congressman James E. Watson, of' In
diana. Mr. Sherman emphasized the fact that
Uncoln was the choice of the minority
of a party and the Nation was divided
on a great constitutional question In
which the liberty of a race foreign to
the country, brought here In bondage, or
reared In slaverw, was involved. He con
tinued: Was It worth fighting for? Manv In the
North said no. Was It a question which
could be constitutionally acteil upon? The
entire South said no. and then Abraham
Lincoln, with dignity, with firmness, and
with a spirit which could have bcon inspired
only of God. grasped the helm of the ship
of state and pointed Its course directly into
the teeth of the iwrm. His proclamation
of emancipation unforged the fetters of the
slaves, united the North, sent a thrill of
Joy and patriotism in reverberation over
the land until the hundreds of thousands
of boys in blue swore by their tlag and by
their country that slavery should cease and
that their Nation should be reunited though
it was cemented with blood.
Lincoln, Mr. Sherman said, was perhaps
the greatest American, but his Individual
ity was greater than his personality, and
this was because he had with him "that
stern, unyielding sense of duty." He
continued:
Gentle beyond compare, patient beyond be
lief, his country and his duty were his creed.
and to that end he labored unceasingly
and suffered patiently. It was that senti
ment. "Our Country." which guided him.
He gave himself without reserve for that
country, his rare talents, his immeasurable
love, his remarkable sagacity, his life. All
were freely laid upon the altar of home
and country.
During the afternoon the Vice-President-elect-spoke
at the convocation ex
ercises of the University of Pittsburg at
Carnegie Hall.
BRITAIN SENDS MESSAGE

BRYAN AS CHIEF ORATOR
Tells How Lincoln's Gifts of Speech
Made Him President Jusserand
and Bryce Speak for France
and Great Britain.
SPRINGFIELD, ' 111., Feb. 12. Amid a
scene of unrivalled brilliancy at the state
armory tonight, three nations paid tribute
to the emancipator and to each other.
French Ambassador Jusserand brought
the message from France; British Ambas
sador Bryce the eulogy from England;
while W. J. Bryan,, of Nebraska, and
United States Senator J- P. Dolliver, of
Iowa, laid America's wreath of respect
at the feet of Lincoln.
This was a fitting climax for the re
markable all-day celebration that took
the distinguished guests and two score
others over the- scenes associated with
Lincoln's life.
An impressive feature of the cele
bration was the scene at the Lincoln
tomb, where Robert T. Lincoln, son of
the martyred President, stood beside
the sarcophagus In which the remains
of his father rest, and with tear
dimmed eye3 spent several moments in
silent meditation.
Message From France.
M. Jusserand spoke on "Abraham
Lincoln as France Regarded Him," and
told of France's grief over Lincoln's
death , and her devotion to his great
ness. Mr. Bryce's address was a mes
sage of love and respect, saying Lincoln
belonged to a mighty race and was
great because he was endowed with in
tellect and character.
A letter from Booker T. Washington
read at the banquet tonight urged ne
groes to be law-abiding and adds that
"every member of my race who does not
work, who leads an immoral life, dis
honors the name and memory .of Lin
coln." The negroes of Springfield, having been
excluded from the Lincoln centennial
banquet, held a competitive event' to
night. Mr. Bryan sooke in part 'as follows:
Owed Success to Oratory.
Lincoln's fame as a statesman and as the
Nation's Chief Executive in Its moat crucial
period has so overshadowed his fame as an
orator that his merits as a public speaker
have not been sufficiently emphasized. When
it is remembered that hifi nomination was
directly due to the prominence which he
won upon the stump; that in the most re
markable series of debates known to history
he held his own against one of the most
brilliant orators America has produced; and
that to his speeches, more than to the ar
gument of any other one man. or In fact,
of all other public men combined, was due
the succi-es of his party when all these facts
are borne In mind, it will appear plain that
too little attention has been given to the
extraordinary power which he exercised aa
a speaker.
That his nomination -was due to the ef
fect that his speeches produced, can not be
disputed. When he began his fight against
slavery in lh."S he was but little known out
side of the counties In which he attended
court. The threatened extension of elavery
aroused him. and he threw his whole soul
into the fight. The debates with Douglas'
have never had a parallel In this, or, so
far as history show, in any other coun
try. No other American President has ever
so clearly owed his elevation to his ora
tory. Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln and
Jackson, the Presidents usually mentioned
in connection with him, were all poor schol
ars. Today's exercises Included also:
Dedication of memorial tablet on build
ing In which Lincoln had his law office,
planting of Lincoln elm at courthouse
where Lincoln tried the law cases, dedi
cation of memorial tablet at Presbyterian
Church where Lincoln attended, distin
guished guests visit tomb of Lincoln; re
ception by the local chapter of the Daugh
ters- of the American Revolution at the
old Lincoln home; banquet for ladies at
night, addressed by Mrs. William J.
Bryan. Mrs. Donald McLean, president
general of the Daughters of the Amrican
Revolution, and others.

Great despondency is entertained as to
the ability of the government to main

BRITAIN AND GERMANY RE
MOVE CAUSES OF FRICTION".
Edward's Visit to Berlin Brings
About Indorsement of Mo
roccan Treaty.
BERLIN, Feb. 12. It can be stated with
authority that in the British v'ew the re
sult of the recent political conference
between British and German statesmen in
Berlin Is regarded as eminently satisfac
tory. The Imperial Chancellor was as
sured of the British government's unquali
fied and cordial approval of the Franco
German convention with regard toMoroc
co. This agreement is welcomed as tend
ing to foster good feelings between France
and Germany, and in this way it' will
exert a material influence upon the con
solidation of friendly relations between
Great Britain and Germany.
English official circles welcome the as
surance given during the interview be
tween the Imperial Chancellor and Sir
Charles Harding, Under-Secretary of the
Foreign Office, that In aiming for the
preservation of peace and the mainten
ance of the status quo in the Near East
as well as in the support of the new
order of things in Turkey, the British
and German governments are completely
In accord.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra left
here for London at 5 o'clock this after

German capital.
They were accompanied to the railroad

and their military suites, and Prince
Henry of Prussia, The leave-taking was

said to be one of the worst examples of
the deadly malady that the local physi

a candy vendor on the street for a num

MAKING QUICK PROGRESS
Wireless Messages Show Sliips Only
2000 Miles Away, and Prep
arations for Welcome Are
Rushed Ahead.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12. A wireless mes
sage from the tender Yankton which is
preceding the Atlantic battleship fleet,
now on 'its way to Hampton Roads after
its cruiso around the world, was picked
up shortly after 4 o'clock this morning
by the wireless station on Fire Island.
The message was as follows:
"Yankton. 8 P. M., Feb. 11. Latitude
32:44 N., Longitude 52:04 W. Fleet 34:30
N., 30:19 W. Fine weather; speed lO'i

Gibraltar.
Only 2000 Jliles Away.
According to this message the battle
ships are about 1OS0 miles, west of Gib
raltar with the Yankton 945 miles ahead.
This places the Yankton only 540 miles
east of Bermuda and the fleet a little
over 2000 miles from Hampton Roads.
The schedule as announced before the
departure lrom Gibraltar said that they
would reach Hampton Roads about Feb
