TO LINCOLN

was not an issue. In his homely, en
lightening way, Lincoln declared that
if he could preserve the Union with
•isVery, he Mould do it, or, without
slavery, he would do It. or. with come
free and othere eleven, ho would do
that. The proclamation of emancipa
tion was a war measure purely. He
knew he had no constitutional war
rant. and. true to hie oath of office,
he held bark as long as ho could; but
so clear-sighted was hie sense of Jus
tice. so empty hie heart of rancor, that
he wlehed and nought to qualify the
rigor of the act by some measure of
restitution. and so prepared the Joint
resolution to be passed by congre*
appropriating four hundred million
dollars for the purpoee, which still
stands In his own handwriting.
"H* was himself a southern man.
All hie people were southerners. 'lf
slavery be not wrong.’ he said, 'noth
ing la wrong,* echoing in thia the
opinion of most of the Virginia gentle,
men of the eighteenth century and vot
ing the sentlmenta of thousands of
•brave men who wore the Confederate
gray. Not less than the north, there
fore, has the south reason to canonise
Lincoln; for he wee the one friend we
had at court —aside from Grant and
Sherman —when friends were most In
need.
No Reconst ruction Period.
'lf Lincoln had lived there would
have been no era of reconstruction,
with Its mistaken theories, repressive
agencies and oppressive legislation. If
Lincoln had lived there would have
been wanting to the extremism of the
time the bloody cue of his taking off
to mounC the steeds and spur the
flanks of vengeance. For Lincoln en
tertained, with respect.to the rehabili
tation of the Union, the single wish
that the'southern states —to use his
homely phraseology—'should coms
back home and behave themselves,'
and if he had lived he would have
made this wish effectual as he made
everything effectual to which he
seriously addressed himself. Poor, In
sane John Wilkes Booth! Was he, too,
an Instrument in the hands of God to
put a still deeper damnation upon the
taking off of the. Confederacy and to
sink the southern people yet lower In
abyss of affliction and humiliation the
living Lincoln had spread us?”
He spoke of Lincoln's teaching and
example, and paid a glowing tribute
as follows:
Pays Glowing
"Tragedy walks hand-ln-hand with
history and the eyes of glory are wet
with tears —‘With malice toward
none, with charity of rail' —since
Christ said "blessed are the peace
makers for they shall be colled the
children of God.' has heart of man,
stirred to its depths by human exi
gency, delivered a message so su
blime? Irresistibly the mind recurs to
that other martyr of the ages, whom
not alone in the circumstances of ob
scure birth and tragic death, but in
those of simple living and childlike
faith. Lincoln so closely resembled.
Yon lowly cabin which Is to be offi
cially dedicated on the morrow may
well be likened to the manger of
Bethlehem, the boy that went thence
to a God-like destiny, to the Son of
God, the Father Almighty, of him
and of us all. For. whence his prompt
ing except from God? v
"There are utterances of his which
read like rescripts from the Sermon
on the Mount. Reviled even as the
Man of Galilee, slain, even as the
Man of Galilee, yet as gentle and as
unoffending, a man who died for
men! Roll the stone from the grave
and what shall we see? Just an Amer
ican. The Declaration of Independ
ence his Confession of Faith. The
Constitution of the United States his
Ark and Covenant of Liberty. The
Union his redoubt, the flag his shlb-.
boleth. Called like one of old, with
in a handful of years he rose at a su
preme moment to supreme command,
fulfilled the law of his being, and
passed from the scene an exhalation
of the dawn of freedom. We may still
hear his cheery voice, bidding us be
of good heart, sure that ‘right makes
might,' entreating us to pursue 'with
firmness in the right as God gives us
to see the right.’ "
Problems Solved.
"The problems he met and solved
are problems no longer, other. It may
be greater problems, rise before us.
Shall there arise another Lincoln?
"May God gird round and guard his
successor in the great office of cifief
magistrate whom we have here with
us this day; give him the soul of Lin
coln to feel, Lincoln’s wisdom to see
and know; to the end that which ever
of the parties prevail and to whatever
group of men are committed the pow
erB of administration, whole-hearted
devotion to the public service and
large-minded fidelity to American in
stitutions may continue to glorify the
teaching and example of Abraham
Lincoln.”
His peroration was as follows:
“ 'Let us here highly resolve,' the
words still ring like a trumpet-call
from that green-grown hillside of
Gettysburg dotted with the graves of
heroes, 'but these men shall not
have died in vain; that this Nation,
under God, shall have a new birth of
freedom; and that government of the
people, by the people and for the peo
ple shall not perish from the earth.'
Repeat we the declaration. As we
gather about this effigy In bronse and
marble in this the capital of Kentucky

mous among the states of America,
whose birth-right carries with it a
universal and unchallenged badge of

At Fifty You May
Have Youthful Skin
(From Theatrical News.)
Several favorite actresses of today
are matrons of fifty, yet their com
plexions are like those of the debu
tante —young and ravishlngly beauti
ful. Many of these have discovered in
a plain mayatone lotion the fountain
of youth, and by massaging daily with
this home-made toilet they are ena
bled to keep their skirts soft, velvety
and free from blemish or line.
The mayatone lotion is prepared by
dissolving a small original package
of mayatone in a half-pint witch
hazel. The constant use of this lotion
gently removes all impurities and
blemishes and gives to the skin a rich
tint and purity. Massaging with the
mayatone lotion will discourage the
growth of fuzz or hair and keep the
complexion fair and lovely without the
use of powder.

Dedicate Memorial Tomorrow.
The unveiling of the Lincoln statue
In the rotunda of the new Kentucky
capitol precedes the dedication of the
Lincoln memorial at Hodgenville by a*
day. Many of those who camo from
distant states to Frankfort to attend
the exercises willNontlnuo their jour
ney tomorrow to Hodgenville. Near
there is the Lincoln farm where the
cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was
born is now preserved in a monu
mental structure recently completed.
It is the dedication of this memorial
that will attract President Taft and
others to Hodgenville tomorrow.
Governor Willson in accepting the
monument in the name of the state
said it wouM stand in the capitol,
"through all the ages as the central
figure, the type and image of the
pioneers of Kentucky and of all
American pioneers, the best figure
and representative of the spirit of our
people and .inspiration to Kentucky
for all time, a guardian spirit standing
for eternity in slot pless vigil over our
liberty and our hopes.”
Governor Willson said he thought
the choice of a statue of Lincoln for
the state capitol, over other outstand
ing figures in history was "inspired"
and for the image of the war presi
dent, he gave credit to James Brack
enridge Speed, descendent of Some of
Kentucky's earliest settlers.
The bronze is by Adolph Weinman
of New York.
Addresses Agree.
The addresses of President Taft and
Governor Willson singularly agreed in
almost Identical declarations that of
all figures In national history there is
rone that is calculated to bridge the
chasm of sentiment between sections
as Lincoln.
In the big crowd that saw the
statue unveiled today were many ne
groes who grew up slaves and among
them were several who claimed to
have remembered the Lincoln family
In the early youth of the "emancipa
tor.”
The President's Remarks.
“We are not to dedicate in this, the
capital of Kentucky, a monument to
her son, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s
parents were lowly people from Vir
ginia and their course was like that
of many others who migrated from
the old dominion into Kentucky and
thence across the river to Indiana and
Illinois. Though Lincoln lived here
but eighties, he knew Kentucky well
and It is most fitting that it should
have a memorial of him.
“Those who were closest to Lincoln
have said that he was a many sided
man and that he gave different im
pressions of himself to different peo
ple; that there were things unexplain
ed about him, a continual sadness and
gloom that pervaded all his waking
hours; and they describe him in tones
of mysticism, as if to make him
greater by removing the lines of his
character.
. “I don’t think It is too much to say
that Lincoln had the most Judicial
temperament of any man in history.
He considered the arguments of hit
opponents with the fairness of John
Stuart Mill, and preserved that calm
judicial consideration of the views of
every one that became important and
in his disagreement with the men he
left nothing more than the applica
tion of an not story or a clear euclld
like demonstration •of error without
sting.
Great Lover of Truth.
“Without his love of the truth, th?
supreme trait of his intellect accom
panied by a conscience that insisted
on the right as he knew it, with a
great heart full of tenderness, we
have the combination that made Lin
coln one of the two greatest Ameri
cans. He hated slavery because he
had reasoned out its Injustice and 111
demoralising eoct upon the country
and community tn which It wu legal
ly Instituted. He did not hate the
slaveholders and there Is not the
allahteet evidence he ever had a feel
ing of bltterneM taaard them aa a
class.
“He knew how the Institution had
grown, how It had become part of so
ciety, how closely Imbedded it wew
In the Konomy of the south and from
the time when he entered congress
until he died, hie mind was bent on
problems for the eolutlon of the du'-
ttculty by which cancer could be ex
corised and no Injustice done to those
whose constitutional rights had be
come interwlncd with this system and
interdependent upon It.
I'nitra the Rretlona.
“The south knows as the north
knows now. that there Is no aoul that

of Abraham Lincoln; the south knows

Dedicate Hall Tomoddow.
The Memorial hall to Abraham Lin
coin, erected on the old Lincoln farm,
will be dedicated tomorrow In tlia
presenc, of President Taft. Chief Jus
tice Edward Douglass White of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the governors of several states, sena
tors, congressmen and man prominent
in literature and In public life. The
Lincoln farm Is located near Hodgen
ville. and a large number of people
are assembling today to witness the
ceremonies.
Enshrines hg <*aMn.
The Imposing building of granite,
which Is to figure in the exercises to
morrow, enshrines the humble log
cabin In which Lincoln was
born 102 years ago. The Lincoln
Farm association will turn over the
farm, the memorial building, which
has been erected at a cost of 8112,000.
and $50,000, for maintenance, to the
federal government and It will be for
mally received by the president.
Chiseled Into the granite on one
side of the building is the following
inscription:
"Here, over the log cabin where
Abraham Lincoln was born, destined
to preserve the Union and free the
slave, a grateful people have dedicat
ed this memorial to unity, peace an 1
brotherhood among these states.”
When tho Memorial farm and the
building are accepted by President
Taft the entire military establish
ment of Kentucky, several regiments
of the regular army of the United
States and many en<ampments of the
Grand Army of the Republic and ot
the Confederate Veterans will salute.
More than a score of special trains
will be run from Louisville to carry
the thousands who will be present.

ward M. Shepard.
JxM-ation of Building.
The Memorial building stands on a
little hill, at the foot ot which is tho
spring which attracted Thomas Lin
coln and Nancy Hanks, Lincoln's fain,
er and mother, and caused them to
settle there. It was on the site of tho
present building that the newly wed
ded pair built a crude* cabin of rough,
unhewn logs in the center of the 110
acres of poor land. This cabin was
just like the other cabins on the fron
tier at that time. It had only one
room, with a small loft, a big outside
chimney and a huge fireplace, a rough
door which swung on leather hinges
and, when they moved into it, not a
single window.
The farm and the cabin were not
set aside to form a patriotic shrine
until the centenary of the birth of
the great emancipator two years ago.
On that day prominent men and
women from all over the land made
a pilgrimage to the little place neax
Hodgenville. With patriotic addresses
the Lincoln Farm association took
over the place and began the work
of raising the funds with which to
erect the' pfoper memorial. Until tne
association took It over the title of
the farm had only changed twice
previously. It had taken Robert J-
Collier four years to clear Lincoln's
birthplace of all legal entanglements
and litigation.
Farm Was Sold.
About five years after Abraham
Lincoln was born his father sold the
farm neighbor named Creal.
whose family kept it for nearly sev
enty years. Then it was bought ty
A. A. Dennett, of New York, with the
purpose of turning it into some sort
of national park.
While tho farm was In possession
of the Creal family, the old cabin >n
which Lincoln was born was carted
to the Davenport farm, a mile-and a
half nearer Hodgenville. The Daven
ports used it as a spring house. But
the owner gave it to Mr. Dennett and

Mr. Dennett’s religious proclivities
led him to turn over the farm to the
Rev. J. W. Bingham, a Methodls*
evangelist from Florida, whoso pu»-
pose it wns to make the farm a place
for summer camp meetings. He was
dissuaded from doing this but took
the old cabin to pieces end. Betting
it up again, exhibited It all over the

Kentucky to interview old settlers ano
take depositions concerning the real
birthplace ot Lincoln, because a num
ber of uninformed persons had do
ctored that the martyr president had
first seen the light In Eastern Ken

Sooh after this it was learned that
the old cabin was about to be pm

It and turned it over to the associa.

to send the logs back to Kentucky
and restore the cabin on its original
site. The Pennsylvania railroad gave
a special train for the transportation
and a large store in New Yortr dec

of Kentucky sent a detachment ot the
state troops to escort the old logs
back “home."
