Abraham Lincoln
The concluding paragraphs of the
famous funeral oration on Lincoln
given by George Bancroft in Union
Square, New York City, follows:
“The country my have needed an
lmperishuhlo grid to touch its inner-
xnoet feeling. The grnvc that re-
coives the remains of Lincoln receives
the costly sacrifice to the bnlon;
the monument which will rise over
his body will bear witness to the
Union; his enduring xucrnury will
assist «luring countless ages to bind
the States together and to incite to
the love of our one undivided. in-
divislblc country.
..“I'caco to the ashes of our dc-
partetl friend. the friend of his
country and his race. lie was happy
in his life. for he was the restart-r
of the liepuhuc; he “as happy in
his death. for his martyrdom will
plead forever for the Union of the
States null the freedom of loan."
it is difficult to add words to the
above. The grunt Lincoln has lived
and died and still lives. llis name
carries the fine quality of a national
legend for those in Norwalk who
have studied his life and the effects
it has had on this country.
The prediction of Bancroft has
been fulfilled: "His enduring memory
will assist during countless ages to
bind the States together and in in-
cito to the love of our one undivided.
indivisiblo country."
Hero worship of the ancients be-
comes a simple psychological phen-
omenon to understand. if one on
luch an occasion as this. Lincoln's
Birthday, has the leisure to dwell
long and nilectlonuicly on the apcxes
of his career.
The similarity of the lives of the
outstanding benefactors of the world
is striking. In on oldcr'day, the
Today we try
to draw from his life the great lea-
sons which can guide us in our own
trials and troubles.
Let us study our Lincoln more.
Today is the best day on which to
form such :I resolve. Like the teach-
‘lngs of Christ. the simple. solemn
lessons of Lincoln‘s life offer a prac-
tical panacea. for most. of our ills,
rational and personal.
In honoring Lincoln's memory to-
day. let us offer a. prayer of thanks
to the Almighty who sent to this na-
tion the fervent soul who freed the
slaves and once for all made it at
country. “undivldnl and indlvisiblc."

the country glorious. with govern-
ment on deck. And’all the werld
was muttering. "Old Mexico is sane:
her wits, that once were fluttering.

ple. once vociferous. and things are
slick as grease." Not long does
peace scorn beautiful to those mis-
guided wighta: aglln they think it
dutiful to shoot out all the lights.
They think that. peace is ruinous.
they cry. “Let's start. a scrap; let's
go. with home made brew in us. and
muss up all the map." They cry.
"The saints deliver us from every
peaceful stunt." end in their wag-
ons nivverous they hasten to the
front. Old Mexico's notorious for
wealth that is unmlned: her people.
so uproar-ions. detest the worker's
grind. The hopeful pence is with-
ering that late made some advance.
for blatant men and blithering won't
give the dove a chance. They try.
"Let war gods foster us. peace us too

terous—there ought to be a. law.

Delegates-At-Small.
(New llnvcn Register.)
It wouldn't be surprising to learn
that. the liurtfurd Courant is trying
to crack its little joke on its (lemo-
cratic friends in Connecticut; it has
been known to try such things. But
its story is that the national com-
mittco is proposing to do with the
state delegates-nt-largo to the. no.-
tionul convention what Solomon or-
dered done to the disputed baby—
“dlvlde the living child in two." Ac-
cording to the Courant‘s story. it is
nfter this fashion. Representation
in the convention was in the begin-
ning to be somewhat on the usual
plan: Two delegates for each con-
gressional district, and two dele-
gates-at-lnrg for.eaeh of the sena-
tors. That would have given Con-
ncetlcut fourteen votes. Then the
national committee bethought itself
that it had forgotten the indies. So
it directed—or at least suggested;
that the four dclegntcsat-large be
made eight. four of them men and
four of them women. But the con-
vention had already ben laid out on
the basis of :1. fixed number of votes.
50 it. was arranged to keep the num-
ber down to the original tlgure by
cutting each delegate-ut-large vote
down to one-half. As the Courant
tlippnntly puts it, Connecticut's "Big
Four" seems likely to become a
"Little Eight."
This seems almost too funny to be
trite. One can't imagine the well-
known members of the "Big Four"
taking it gracefully. Somewhere be-
tween now and the time of the con-
vention a. new way of counting will
have to be discovered. For the
ladies—they can't give them up, and
they wouldn't. if they could. And
they on their part can hardly be
expected to take kindly to the idea
of being| halves, even if they are
“better elves.”
The Grievance of Pharaoh.
New York Times.)
It seems hard that Tut-Ankh-
Amen. who doubtless ascribed enor-
mous importance to having every-
thing just right in the equipment of
his tomb, should have lied to sleep
for more than 3.000'yeurs in a sur-
cophagus with a. cracked lid. That
indicated a cynical carelessness in
those who had the contract for put-
ting the King properly away for his
long sleep. They saved money by
not. sticking to what presumably
were the carefully devised specifica-
tions, but if it ever has or ever will
make any difference to Tut-Ankh-
Aluen how he was entombed. im-
agine his humiliation and possible
ion. if. on the Great Day. the top
of his stone comn had come of! in
two pieces. while the other Pharaohs
stood around and derided him.
Seemingly there is now nothing to
do about the laebos of those funer-
al directors or mortieians, to use the
very latest substitute for “under-
taker.” but the podbilitioa of the
King's anger and injury surely are
deserving of serious consideration
from the people who so solemnly
have credited him with the power to
punish desecrators of his grave.

it our duty to call the attention of

They have issued n platform in

mises. a few of which might. be
mentioned:
They agree to serve without pay.
to provide their own subsistence and
to remain in office, regardless of the
Constitutional limitation. until us-

Believing that the City of New

tinct entity and utterly dissociated
spiritually. mentally and culturally
from the rest of the country; believ-
ing that it is in no sense an integral
part of the nation and that it is
completely superior to it—they agree
if elected, to permit it to secede from
the Union, and to set up its own
form of government.
They promise on their sacred
words of.honor that they will not
at any ttm. during their period of
office travel through the country
and shake hands with the yokels.
They will make no speeches.
Both candidates are bachelors.
They offer this point as one of the
strongest proofs of their illne- for
office.
They will keep their photographs
out of the rotogravuro sections.
They promise that they will never
write. :1 congratulatory letter to the
father of 2: children.
They agree to limit. the number of
English lecturers touring the United
States to 6.3000 head a. year.
They promise to change the face
of the Goddess of Liberty as it ap-
pears on the present coinage. .0
that the lady will look less like
a senescent schoolmnrm and more
like a cutie.
'l‘hry agree‘ to kiss no bsbteh

They agree it. exclude all women
politicians from the District of

that she despaircd of the future

Miss Thomas has returned recently
from sixteen months of travel and
observation through the countries of
Europe and the East. and declares
it is a distinct shock to come back
to the isolation of this country and
our ignorance of what is going on
in the world.
"We must recognize." said Miss
Thomas. “that everything We used
