Senator B utler’s Address
Senator Butler in his address
held his audience spellbound with
his Inspired add profound utter­
ances, at various times arousing
healthy applause by his eloquent
perorations. So profound was the
impression he made that when he
closed his oratorical effort after
having talked about forty minutes
his listeners could hardly believe
they had listened to an unusually
interesting long address.
In his opening remarks Senator
Butler declared that the United
States is the richest, most pow­
erful, progressive and one of the
most intellectually advanced peo­
ples of the world, and dilated on
the resources and blessings and
present, he said.
The speaker gradually portray­
ed the great pavt Abraham L in ­
coln had taken in solidifying the
nation by his deeds, principles
and advocation of Justice and
liberty, and declared that his
useful life and powerful teachings
were still living on. guiding his
country’s movements, a result of
which his name and memory was
honored all throughout America
yesterday and last night.
In a ll history Lincoln repre­
sented his ideal in character and
public wisdom, the speaker point­
ed out. In every great crisis in
the history of manklhd there Al­
ways arises some man from the
people to meet It and lead the
people out of war and discord to
better things. 8uch a man was
Lincoln, coming from h humble
origin In life during the great
civil war c/lsis— a man of heroic
mold and a typical American. In
this crisis he won undying fame,
and a revered .and influential
memory.

In closing, Senator Butler said
that onr Lincoln Day gatherings

from the life of Llnooln, the great
preserver who left priceless ideals

GERMAN COMPILER BOOK
ON ADVERTISING ART
B E R L IN . (U U P )— A new book
on German advertising a rt, com­
piled by D r. W alter F . Schubert,
is attracting widespread atten­
tion among critics and advertising
experts.
America's belief that-Buropean
advertising methods enjoy un­
challenged superiority is likely to
receive a surprise from this vol­
ume. O riginality and artistry
abound throughout the text and
B00 illustrations, showing how
modern German art has been har-
neeaed to the cart of commerce
and Industry.- The
“chocolate-
box” style of advertising is con­
spicuously absent from this book,
which tries to gain Its effects by
sheer force of artistic mastery. '
