Abraham Lincoln was eulogized yes- terday on the one hundred and twenty- second anniversary of his birth by cabi- net officers, officials of the Government and civic leaders, who paid tribute to the Oivil War President in addresses de- livered at a series of meetings during the day and evening in the National Capital and at Republican rallies in various cities. Senators Smoot of Utah and Short- ridge of California also eulogized the great Emancipator cn the Senate floor yesterday. The Utah Senator declared that “critics and cynics have beaten in vain against the shrine Abraham Lin- coln occupies in every American heart.” In similar vein, Vice President Curtis, speaking at a luncheon of the trustees of the Lincoln Memorial University, denounced biographers who would “ruin the memories of their victims.” Sees Efforts Failing. . “These men may get on the front pages for a day,” he said, “but they will not last long and their efforts will not succeed.” At _ghe university luncheon & mes- sage from President Masaryk of Czecho- slovakia was read by Ferdinand Vever- ka, Minister of that country. “I have always loved Lincoln and learned from him,” the President’s message read. “He is one of the eternal lights of freedom in darkness of egotism, senti- mentality and political supersitions.” Secretary of the Interior Wilbur and Secretary of Labor Doak also spoke at the luncheon. Mr. Doak declared that “Lincoln came from the ranks of those who toil and not only held in high esteem the people from whom he came, but dignified and glorified labor be- cause he had a part in it.” Others who spoke were Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs; Ira E. Bennett, editor of the Washington Post; Dr. John Wesley Hill, chancellor of Lincoln University, and Frank A. Seiberling, who presided. Big Endowment Gained. An endowment of $10,000,000 for the university, which is located at Harro- gate, Tenn., was announced by Chan- cellor Hill In historic old New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, which President Lincoln attended during his years in the White House, veterans’ and civic organizations met last night under the | Remembers Advice of His auspices of the Republican State Com- mittee of the District of Columbia. Theodore G. Risley, solicitor for the Labor Department, was the principal speaker. “Of all the great dead who have spoken the English language, Shake- speare and Lincoln today probably ex- ert the greatest influence on mankind,” Mr. Risley declared. ‘“More has been written and spoken about these illus- trious characters than any other men of modern times. Lincoln all his life was a devoted student of Shakespeare. There is no statesman in history whose example is more closely studied than Lincoln’s.” At the First Congregational Church the Grand Army of the Republic ob- served the anniversary last night, with E. W. Gibson and E. C. Moore as speskers. Senator Davis Speaks. Senator James J. Davis of Pennsyl- vania_was the speaker before the Ma- rine Engineers’ Beneficial Association S.|last night in the Lee House. When Lincoln abolished slavery in this coun- 8¢ | try, Senator Davis said, he “automati- cally spurred the imagination of great inventors to seek electrical and mechan- ical slaves to perform the drudgery which, prior to the Emancipation Proc- lamation, had been performed by hu- man slaves. In my opinion, also, Lin- coln should be credited with a share of the glory which is linked to the notables ‘who aided in the progres of modern sea- faring conditions.” ‘To further commemorate the memory Z| of the Civil War President an address 'was sent out over the Columbia Broad- ng System from th in which Lincoln died, in the building across the from the old Ford ‘Theater, where he was shot by Booth. ‘The address was delivered by Lewis G. Reynolds, custodian of the Lincoln col- lection which has been preserved in the building. He described to the radio au- dience many of the relics recently added to the museum, one of them being a copy of the marriage certificate of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, Lin- coln’s father and mother.

C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1931. Hoover Efi]ogizes Lincoln Full Text of President’s Message Delivered Over Radio From White House in Celebration of Birth of Emancipator. Full text of President Hoover's Lincoln day message which was de- livered at the White House last night over a Nation-wide radio hook-up: By the magic of the radio I am able to address several hundred public gatherings called this evening through- out our country in celebration of the birth cf Abraham Lincoln. 1t is appropriate that I should speak from this room in the White House where Lincoln strived and accomplished his great service to our country. His invisible presence dominates these halls, ever recalling that infinite pa- tience and that indomitable will which fought and won the fight for those firmer foundations and greater strength to Government by the people. From these windows he looked out upon that great granite shaft which was then in construction to mark the country’s eternal tribute to the courage and un- compromising strength of the founder of this Union of States. Here are the very chairs in which he meditated upon his problems. Above the mantelpiece hangs his portrait with his cabinet, and upon this fireplace is written: “In this room Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, whereby 4,000,000 slaves were given their freedom and slavery forever prohibited in these United States.” It was here that he toiled by day and by night that the Union created by the fathers might be preserved and that | g, slavery might be ended. Heard Sound of Cannon. Most cf the business of this room in Lincoin's time was concerned with the conduct of war against destructive forces. From here he could oft hear the sound of approaching cannon, and et the thought that he should desert gb place, this city and this house, never entered into his considerations. Lincoln was a builder in an epoch of destruction. It was his assignment by Providence to restore the national ce, so badly shattered in its social and economic structure that it had well-nigh failed. His undying idealism and inflexible resolve builded a new temple of the national soul in which our su generations have since dwelt secure and free and of a richer life. And if Lincoln could today resurvey the scene of his country ne would find & Union more solidly knit and more resolute in its common purpose than ever in its history. He would find the States of the South recovered from the wounds of war, inspired by the splendid leadership of a new generation to a brilllant renaissance of industry and culture. He would indeed find the consum- mation of that great moving appeal of his inaugural in which he said: “The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battledeld and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” It was indeed a great Dmfihecy. . If Lincoln were living, he would find that this race of liberated glaves, start- ing a new life without a shred but the clothes in which they stood, without education, witholit organization, has today by its own endeavors pr to an amazingly high level of self-re- liance and well-being. To Lincoln it would have been incredible that within a lifetime the millions of children of these slaves would be graduating from the public schools and col! , that the rece could have builded itself homes and accumulated itself a wealth in lands and savings; that it should have carried on with success every calling and pros fession in our country. Man of Many Interests. ‘While the dramatic period of Lincoln's life was engrossed with these tremen- dous problems, yet he was & man of many interests. ' He was a believer in party government. He realized, as we also must realize, that fundamentally our whole self-government is conceived and born of majority rule, and to enable the majority to express itself we must have party organization. Lincoln led in founding the Republican party and he gloried in his party. His tradition has dominated it to day. It was and is a party of responsibility; it was and is a party of the Constitution. ‘While many of the issues of that time are dead and gone, some of our resent problems were equally vivid in day. You will find Lincoln address- ing the country in strong and urgent support of the protective tariff with vivid declamation against the party op- posing that policy. You will find him advocating Federal Government aid in internal development of waterwa; d him pounding at the blic mind against nullification and or adherence to constitutional proc- esses of self-government. No stronger statement has ever been made than that of Lincoln upon obedience to law as the very foundation of our Republic. In Lincoln’s day the dominant prob- lem in our form of government turned upon the issue of State rights. Though less pregnant with disaster, the domi- nant problem today in our form of government turns in large degree upon the issue of the relationship of Federal, State and local government responsibil- itles. We are faced with unceasi: agitation that the Federal Governmen shall assume new financial burdens, that it shall undertake increased burdens in regulation of abuses and in the prosecution of crime. is true that since Lincoln's time many forces have swept across State borders and have become more 'nt than the State or local community can deal with alone either financially or by jurisdiction. Our concept of Federal State and local re ilities pos- sible of no unchangeable definitions and it must shift with the moving forces in the Nation, but the time has come when we must have more national consider- ation and decision of the part which each shall assume in these re- sponsibilities. New Responsibilities Assumed. ‘The Federal Government has assumegd many new responsibilities since Lincoln's time, and will probably assume more in the future when the States and local communities cannot alone cure abuse m‘t should be maintained in these matters, I am convinced that where Federal action is essential, then in most cases it should limit its re bilities to supplement the States and local com- munities and that it should not assume the major role or the entire 1 ity, in replacement of the States or local government. To do otherwise threatens thy whole foundations of local govern- ment, which is the very basis of self- responsibilites of any community, particularly in economic and social questicns, are shi from any part of the Nation to Washington, then that community has subjected itself to a remote bureaucracy with its mini- %10 Bas lost 8 Jarge part of its 'll‘ollg;’lnd its control of its own destiny. Under Federal control the varied condi- tions of life in our country are forced et son e, eltner.of i u) e, e e inl- T or e uni ‘Where dividual or the commt A people divest themselves of local govern- ment responsibilities they at once lay the foundation for the destruction of their liberties. And buried in this lem lies some- thing even deeper. whole of our governmental machinery was devised for the purpose that through ordered liberty we give incentive and equality of op- portunity to every individual to rise to that highest achievement of which he is capable. At once when government is centralized there arises a limitation upon the liberty of the individual and a restriction of individual opportunity. The true growth of the Nation is the growth of character in its citizens. The sprea of government destroys initiative and thus destroys ter. Character is he individual by assuming respormibi: e ual by assuming responsibil- ities, not by escape from them. Carried to its logical extreme, all this shoulder- ing of individual and community re- sponsibility upon the Government can lead but to the superstate where every man becomes the servant of the State and real liberty is lost. Such was not {,?fu dlovvmment that Lincoln sought to ‘There is an entirely different avenue by which we may both resist this drift to centralized government and at the same time meet a multitude of prob- lems.

We are projected into temporary unemployment, losses and hardships. In a Nation rich in re- sources, many people were faced with hunger and cold through no fault of their own. Our national resources are not only material supplies and material wealth, but a spiritual and moral wealth in kindness, compassion, in a sense of obligation of neighbor to neigh- bor and a realization of responsibility by industry, by business, and the com- munity for its soclal security and its social welfare, The evidence of our ability to solve great problems outside of Government action and the degree of moral strength Look for the Schwartz Gold Clock on 7th 8t.

The Federal Government has sought to do its part by example in the expansion of employ- ment, by affording credit to drought sufferers for rehabilitation, and by co- operation with the community, and thus to avoid the opiates of government charity and the stifiing of our national spirit of mutual self-help. ‘We can take courage and pride in the effective work of thousands of voluntary organizations for provision of employment, for relief of distress, that have sprung up over the entire Nation. Industry and business have recognized a social obligation to their employes as never before. The State and local governments are being helpful. The people are themselves succeeding in this task. Never before in a great depression d | has ‘there been so systematic & pro- tection against distress; never before has there been so little social disorder; never befcre has there been such an outpouring of the spirit of self-sacrifice and of service. . Resourcefulness Never Fails. ‘The ever-growing complexity of modern life, with its train of evermore perplexing and difficult problems, is & challenge to our individual characters and to our devotion to our ideals. The resourcefulness of America when chal- lenged has never failed. Success is not gained by leaning upon government to solve all the problems before us. That way leads to enervation of will and de- struction of character. Victory over this depression and over our other difficulties will be won by the resolution of our people to fight their own battles in their communities by stimulating their in- genuity to solve their own problems, by taking new courage to be masters of their own destiny in the struggle of life. This is not the easy way, but it is the American way. And it was Lincoln’s way. ‘The ultimate goal of the American social ideal is equality of opportunity and individual initiative. These are not born of bureaucracy. This ideal is the expression of the spirit of our people. ‘This ideal obtained at the birth of the Republic. It was the ideal of Lincoln. It is the ideal upon which the Nation has risen to unparalleled greatness. ‘We are going through a period when character and courage are on trial, and where the very faith that is within us is under test. Our people are meeting this test. And they are doing more than the immediate task of the day. They are maintaining the ideals of our American system. By their devotion to these ideals we shall come out of these times stronger in character, in courage and in faith. FOR 43 YEARS —folks have shopped at Chas.

BISBEE, Ariz, February 13.—Mrs. Alexinta “Mother” Gristy, Cochise County pioneer, now past 70 years of age, does not accept the popular story of the death of President Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. “Booth was mnot killed in a burning bar asserted Mrs. Gristy, who said the saw him three years after Lincoln's assassinatior!, and that her father, Nathan Barnard, harbored him for two {film on his farm, 8 miles from Ogden, “We were rebels,” the aged woman explained today. ‘“Anderson, a famous Federal spy, who afterward was cap- tured d shot, came to my father during the war, posing as a farm hand. He reported us and father went to|np, prison. The thought of it always makes me shudder.” That, “Mother” Gristy said, was the reason Nathan Barnard befriended Bh:o:h after President Lincoln had been shot.

Such a government was not the kind Abraham Lincoln sought to build, the President said. While the greater part of his tribute to the memory of Lincoln was devoted to cautioning against the drift toward centralized government, the President gave a strong reminder of the public need for greater law observance. ‘The President stated with respect to this that no stronger statement has ever been made than that of Lincoln upon obedience to law as the founda- tion of the Republic. Strong Local Issues Arising. Counseling against a too centralized government, President Hoover called unceasing agitation that the Govern- ment in Washington assume new finan- cial burdens and undertake increased burdens in regulation of abuses and the prosecution of crime. This pointed reference to this issue is accepted as aving been prompted by the present issue of extending relief to drought suf- ferers and the unemployed and to the question of greater co-operation on the part of States and municipalities in the enforcement of the Volstead law. He admitted that since Lincoln’s time many forces have presented themselves which have become more potent than the State and local communities can deal with alone, either financially or by jurisdic- tion, and that Federal aid becomes nec- essary. But Mr. Hoover expressed the belief that, regardless of this realiza- | tion, the time has come when there must be a check.
