Lincoln Post No. 2 Will Hold
Celebration in the City
Auditorium.
Memorial day will he fittingly cele
brated in Butte Wednesday. Not only
will the members of Lincoln post No.
2, Grand Army of the Republic, dec
orate the graves of 200 veterans buried
in Butte, hut there also will he a mon
ster Memorial day celebration in the
City Auditorium.
Gen. Charles S. Warren as chair
man of the committee on arrangements
spent the entire day in preparing a
Memorial day program. This will be
submitted to the members of the Lin
coln post for their approval at a meet
ing in the post's quarters In the
courthouse tonight.
Flowers to the value of $400 or $500
and sufficient to decorate the grave of
every civil war veteran, have been do
nated by Columbia Gardens.
Whether there will iSe a formal
parade or whether the old-timers will
simply ride to the cemeteries, will be
decided at tonight's meeting. General
Warren declared today that the old
tiniers will gather at the courthouse
Wednesday morning and either parade
or informally inarch to the street cars.
At the cemeteries, the ritualistic serv
ices of the order will precede the dec
oration of the graves.
The Memorial day services will take
place at the Auditorium either in the
afternoon or evening. The exact hour
will be decided upon tonight. Former
Mayor Joseph Corby, a member of the
Spanish war veterans, will preside at
the services and Attorney Peter Breen,
a member of the Sons of Veterans, will
deliver the Memorial day address.
It is the intention of General War
ren and the oo- workers on the com
mittee to make the Memorial day ob
servation as Impressive as in years
gone by. While the ranks of the Lin
coln Post have been gradually reduced
by death until there are only a score
and half members left, the few re
maining are showing the old-time en
thusiasm.
General Warren's co-workers on the
committee on arrangements are: Simon
Hauswirth, commander of the depart
ment of Montana; C. P. Brlnton, post
commander; Charles S. Shoemaker,
post adjutant, and E. L. Kellogg.

too much a philosopher not to know*
that great popular leaders have in
fluenced men out of all proportion to
their own renl value, by the intangible
atmosphere of legend which has
formed around them.
