being so late starting, it was found
necessary to dispense with this fea

beautifully decorated with flags, cut
flowers and vines, and five vacant

in front, symbolic of the dead of the
O. A. R., the W. R. C, the Spanish

out Saturday at Ashland, In the Chau
taqua building with a large represen
tation from a majority of the dis
tricts of the county. Two hundred
and twenty-five children have com

elementary schools and more than
two hundred of these were present to
receive their certificates which were
presented by Miss Sussane Holmes,
county school superintendent. The
community songs were led by Miss
Masters, supervisor of music of the

the graduates was given. by Dr. Du
Back of O. A. C. More than a thou
sand were assembled in groups in the
grove for picnic dinners after which

much cannot be said ot the spirit of
co-operation that prevailed, and to
cussing the attention ot the people

The people of both towns were tip

Protectants, flee.
Following the strategic withdrawal
from the IJeeleek salient by L'lster

The protestants in the. evacuated

The specials also evacuated Mag-

Into the majority expressions of the

never fails.
Firm In the Right
"No leader w. ever more unspar
ingly crltlciied or more bitterly as
sailed. Ha was lushed by angry
tongues and ridiculed lu press und
speech until he drunk from ns hitter a
cup as was ever put to hunmn lips, but
his faith was unshaken aud his pa
tience never exhausted. Someone sent
me recently an Illumined and framed
quotutkin which fell from his lips dur
ing the storm ot criticism at Its
height:
"'If I were trying to read.' ho said,
'much less answer all of the attacks
made on me, this shop might ns well
be closed for other business. 1 do the
best I know how; the very best 1 can.
and I mean to keep on doing It to the
end. If the end brings me out - all
right: what is said against me will not
amount to anything. If the end brings
me out all wrong, ten angola swearing
I was right would make no difference.'
"He knew, ot course, before tho
assassin robbed him of fuller realisa
tion that the end was bringing him out
all right.
"He knew when swords were sheath
ed and guns laid down that the union
he saved was riveted anew and made
forever Indissoluble. He knew that in
the great crucible of fire and blood the
dross had been burned from the mis
directed patriotism of seceding states
and pure gold restored to shining stars
in dear Old Glory again. He knew he
had freed a race ot bondmen and had
given to the world the costly proof or
the perpetuity of the American union
Rut I cannot restrain the wish that he
might somehow know ot the monu
ments to his memory throughout the
world, and that we are dedicating to
day on behalf of a thankful nation this
memorial whose forty-eight columns,
representing 48 states In the concord
of anion, testify the 'end brought him
out all right."
"Reflecting now on the lampooning
and heedless attack and unjustifiable
abase which bruised his heart and
tested his patience we may accept hl
expression as ons of the abused pro
gressives, and popular government
which passion sway, and bitterness,
but for which there is compensation In
the assurance that when men have
tholr feet firmly planted in the right
and do the very best they can 'and
keep on doing It,' they come out all
tight In the end and all the storm docs
not amount to anything
- No 8uperman
"Abraham Lincoln wss no super
man. Like the great Washington,
whose monumental shaft towers near
by as a fit companion to the memorial
we dedicate today, the two testifying
the grateful love of all Americans to
founder and saviour like Washington,
Lincoln was an average human being
with the frailties mixed with the vir
tues ot humanity. There are neither
supermen nor demi gods in the govern
ment ot kingdoms, empires or repub
lics. It would be better for our con
ception of government and Its Institu
tions if we will understand this fact.
It is vastly greater than finding the
superman, if we justify the confidence
that our institutions are capable o(
bringing Into authority, In time of
stress, men big enough and strong
enough to meet all demands.
"Washington and Lincoln offered
outstanding proof that a representa
tive popular government, constitution
ally founded, can find Its own way to
solvation and accomplishment. In the
very beginning out' American democ
racy turned to Washington, the aristo
crat, tor leadership In revolution and
greater task of founding permanent In
stitutions. The wisdom of Washing
ton and Jefferson and Hamilton wiia
given when Lincoln, the child of prlva
tlon, the product of hardship and en
vironment and meager opportunity,
rose to unquestioned leadership when
dissolution threatened. '
"Lincoln came almost as humbly as
the child of Ilethlebem. His parents
were unlettered, his home was devoid
of every element of culture ond refine
ment. He was no Infant prodigy, no
luxury facilitated or privilege hastened
his development, but bo hud a God-
given Intelligence, a love for work, a
willingness to labor and a purpose t
study.

that it Is, is less for Abraham Lincoln
than for those of us today and for
