The Lincoln Tomb was first dedicated by President Grant in 1874. Before his speeches the mem- ' ory of Lincoln beckoned the Presi- dent for a brief visit to the old home of President Lincoln and to the very room in which the Eman- cipator received word of his nomi- nation for the Presidency in 1860. Recalled Lincoln’s Teaching At the rededication of the tomb of Lincoln, President Hoover re- called the -attention .of the Na-. tion to the teachings of the Civil War President that America’s her- itage “rests on obedience to and en- forcement of laws.” He cpntinued: “There can be no man in our coun- try who, either by position or in- fluence, stands above the law. “That the Republic cannot admit and still live, for ours is a governmen! of laws and a soclety of ordered liberty safeguarded only by law. “The Natlon's whole lifetime flow- | ers with but few whose names re- main on the roll of the world in after generations\ Lincoln, after all these years, lives not only in the hearts of his countrymen but in the hearts of the peoples of the world.” Following the rededicatory ser- vices, President Hoover placed wreaths on the reconstructed tomb. ' Must Change Machinery President Hoover told the Illinois Legislative Assembly that “our ma-, chinery of government must be, shifted to meet the change of eco-! nomic and other conditions.” 3 Thousands greeted the President in this city and flocked to Oak- ridge cemetery ta view the im- pressive huge sculptored head of | Lincoln over the entrance way) which was the only outward change | in the tomb.
