LINCOLN'S IDEALS
ARE HELD SECURE.
DECLARES PASTOR
The ideals of Abraham Lincoln, which
endure today andtill-influence' the. life
Of the American- people, served as the
: theme for the address delivered by the
Hev. Dr. Thomas J. Villers during the
Memorial day services in The Audi
torium this afternoon.
( Dis. Villers selected as the title to his
address "Lincoln's ' Wish-" Using a
auptation from the great statesman as
a text. Dr. Villers explained how every
Cecision of the president's, either per
ioral or public, vai influenced by his
: tleslre to" do good and perpetuate the
happiness of ethers.

tcred solemnity. Our hearts are

Interests here," said Ir. Villers. "Hap

FLOWER FOR THISTLE
.. "Consider with me only one of Lin
coln's great utterances. To Joshua Speed,
his intimate friend, he said : 'Die when
I may, I want it said of me by those
who know me best, that I always plucked
a thistle and planted a flower where I
MEhought a flower would grow. Did he
practice what he preached? Look,
through his life and you will find that :
He plucked the thistle of drunkenness
and .planted - the flower ' of sobriety.
Among the first- 75,000 toreach sWash
ingrton was a Michigan volunteer, mere
lad v.whT. was . Just abouf to enter "a
saloon,' when he felt a hand on' his arm
and, turning around, he saw the face
of the president, who said : 'I don't like
to see our uniform entering these places.'
And the soldier tells us ihat not for all
the wealth of the Capital city would he
shave entered, after that touch and look.
Despair he replaced T ith the, flower
of hope and disgrace with the flower of
heroism. Where there was Jealousy, he
engendered nobleness, j
"Enmity '"he changed Into friendship.
Irreverence, under his Influence, became
faith.
"And now, as w;e think of you, the
Grand Army of the Republic, who uplift
ed this banner as the flag of freedom r
and you soldiers, who, against the op
pression of Spain, bora it to victory as
the flag - of "humanity ; .and you.- the
"American Legion and Disabled War Vet
erans. who carried It' over seas and
unfurled it as the flag of a world-wide
democracy ; what shall I more say?
Three things :
We will- remember your sacrifice, we
do well to consecrate everything that
commemorates Lincoln. But - we must
not - forget his more bumble comrades,
or those who served our country in these
later conflicts. - The mystic chords of
memory, of which - he' apoke, shall
stretch from all our hearths to every
battlefield. ' You and your comrades
we promise to keep in -perpetual re
membrance. !
"We will perpetuate your patriotism.
As you aged veterans recall the scenes
at-Manila and Santiago, you must feel
a solemn pride in your sons and suc
cessors. - At San Juan ' Hill, General
Hawkins "rode to the front, turned his
back scornfully to the enemy's fire, then
shouted : 'Boys, the time has come.
Every man who loves his country, fol
low me. Forward!" And two thousand
Americans rushed up the slope, with a
yarding hell belching death in their
facefe. With fixed bayonets they sprang
for pe trenches, and the Spaniards ran
like' rabbits from their coverts.
"We will bequeath your legacy. What
you have won for ua we pledge ourselves
to hold sacred, and to hand down to ou-
khildren and those who shall come after
us. In the winning of this triumph w-e
were welded together into one nation as.
r.ever before. As General Wheeler de
clared, himself a former Confederate
officer, men who wore the blue and the
gray were alike "wearing the uniform
and following the old flag of the country
where Vankee and Pixie are the same
words to the whole land.' United as we
are in our traditions and institutions
and hopes, we want every man who
comes to us from a foreign shore to
Itrtow that while we have room enough
here for all men, we have breeze enough
to float only one flag.
"This heritage of freedom and brother
hood andnaemocracy. we pledge ourselves
,anew to " defend and extend and be
queath, by baing eternally loyal to
everything for which the flag stands
urged on by the sacrifice symbolized
in its red. kept incorruptible by the pur
ity symbolized in its white, and held
fast by the devotion symbolized in its
blue."
-'"O, my Americai whose flag we
throne amid the sky.
Beneath whose folds 'tis life to live, and
noblest death to die.
I hear the peaceful bugle blow across the j
silver sea.
And bless my God my ' palace stands

Mood.
TEST IS APPLIED
"Here was the great experiment pop
ular government and constitutional
union menaced by greed expressed in
human chattels. With the greed re
stricted and unearthed, he could tem
porize. When It challenged federal au
thority and threatened the union, it
pronounced its own doom. .
"Closing his first inaugural, when
anxiety gripped the nation, there spoke
the generous, forgiving, sympathetic
man of undaunted faith :
" 'I am loath to close. We are not i
i enemies but friends. We must not be
enemies. Though passion may have
strained, it must not break our bonds
bt affection. The mystic chords of
memory, stretching from every battle
field and patriot grave, to every living
heart and hearthstone, all over, this
broad land, will yet swell the chorus of
the Union, wbjsn again touched, as they
surely will be, by the better angles of
our nature.'
"But he appealed in vain. Passion
was aflame and war was made the ar
biter. Americans fought Americana
with equal courage -and valor.
"No leader was ever more unspar
ingly criticized or more bitterly as
sailed. He was lashed by angry
tongues and ridiculed in press and
speech until he drank from as bitter a
cup as was ever put to human lips, but
his faith was unshaken and his patience
never exhausted. t
"He knew of course, before the assas
sin robbed him" of fuller realization that
the end was bringing him out all right.
He knew when swords were sheathed
and guns laid down, that the union he
saved was riveted anew, made forever
indissoluble. '
"Reflecting now on the lampooning
and heedless attack and unjustifiable
abuse which bruised his heart and tested
his patience, we may accept its expres
sion as one of abused privileges under
popular government, when passion sways
and bitterness inspired, but for which
there is compensation in the assurance
that when men have their feet firmly
planted in the right and do the very
best they can and 'keep on doing it,'
they come out all right in the end and

Speedway. Indianapolis, IimL. May 30.
Perfect weather waa dished out today
for the tenth annual 600 mile sweep
stakes race. The sun looked down from
a flawless sky and the early morning
air was cool and. bracing, t The weather
was .particularly gratifying1 to the drivers.-
because in many previous races the
sun-baked .bricks have literally eaten
up tires, making changes necessary They
were hoping the day , would, remain .mod
erately cool.. . --.,...' X' . ; j . ' -
Thousands5' of ?motortstai camped 'all
night onT trails leading to - the .race
course. - There -were. 1 automobiles from
Oregon and California, i Maine and
Florida. They were parked two abreast
from the city's edge to the main en
trance,.' four miles away, and other gate
ways were equally as congested.
MAKE ttOOC SHOWllfO '
Police petroled the roads to prevent
looting while the campers slept In their
dust, covered chariots.
As the sun peeped over the' horizon
the early birds stretched . and yawned.
Engines were started and hot water from
radiators furnished a perfunctory toilet.
Some used windshields or radiator caps
as mirrors by which, to shave.
A few fans whq nad attended previous
racea at the Speedway and knew what
to expect slept for two nights in tents
by the roadside and In parks. All indi
cations were that the official forecast
of 150,004 attendance would almost be
reached. ,
Thirteen of today's entries did better
than 95 miles an hour on their 10-mlle
qualifying toura Jimmy Murphy clipped
it off at a hundred plus and the "ex
perts" say 18 of the list are equal to
the 100-mile pace. '
This is considerable speed for this par
ticular track, for It might be explained
right here the Indianapolis speedway
was laid out with the county fair oval
as its only model. The speedy saucer
track had not been thought of.- Sharp
turns ere clipped miles off the aver
age, but tthey rob this much talked of
speed event of none of its thrill.
Compare this record with previous rec
ords and things look good for record
breaking.
Furthermore, the cars are more even
ly matched than ever before. They hold
out greater promise of radiator to radi
ator brushes as they rip down the roar
ing road on the quest of nearly $100,000
in prize money.
Some are betting on the youths who
push their mounts from the start. Others
are banking on the steadier old timers
to win. Then there are those dark
horse fans who caution you to look out
for the equine Ethiopian.
