LINCOLN, Feb. 12.—(Spoctal.)—The name ¢f Abraham Lincoln, dear to the hearts of | Americans, was the inspiration tbat de the annual banquet of the Young on's Republican club tenight such a suc- cess. The banquet was given at the Lindeli hotel and 200 members and guests, Includ- ing a delegation frcm the Jmaha Young Men's McKinley club, sat at the festal | board. Norris Brown, deputy attorney gen- | eral, was the toastmaster. The opening address was by Governor Mickey on our “Nation's Needs.” The prineipal address of the cvening was by W. B. Rose of the attorney general's staff | nd a synopsis of it appcars below. Other speakers were: Judge P. J. Cosgrove, “Patriotic Citizenship;" Judge Aaron, Wall, “Our Country;” Representative Spurlock “A Man of Yesterday and for All Time B. P. ilolmes, “The Young Man in Poli- tiee” Mr. Rose said in part: The republican party has been happy in the selection of fts ieaders. Repuvicans have always had high ideals of statesman- nd manhood, and with them leader- {p s not the inheritance of weaith or | station. In selecting their first standard- bearer they chose a man who was born in the floo cabin of a hunter. It is ninety- four y today’ since Abraham Lincoin was born, and it is fitting that the Youn | Men's Republican club should ceiebrate | another anniversary of the birth of their martyred leader. We are all familiar with the little that | is known of Lincoin's early life in Hardin county, Kentueky, where he was born, and with the pictures of his rustic birth- | place. We have often heard the story of the hardshipe and poverty of his childhood, | of his removal to Indfana, where he grew | anhood; of his efforis to acquire ion and to prepare himself for bu of his trips to New Orleans, where, the beating of a slave; of his emigration to Illinols, where he helped to bulid a cabin, where he cleared a field and where he epll of his studying law and practicing pringhield; of his services in the state legisiature and the congress of United Btates; of his leadership of the new republican party in lilinols in 188; of his unsuccessfui candidacy for the office of United Statcs senator; of the national reputation he won In his famous debates with Stephen A. Douglas, and of his nomi- pation and election 1o ihe presidency in z 3 One Purpose of Lincol It has taken volumes to record the his- tory which Lincoln has made. Of his in- estimable services to mankind 1 shall men- tion briefly & single purpose of his ad- the purpose to enforce the laws of the United States in every part of the union. From the time uf the adoption of the constitution of the 'nited States there was more or less discussion of the doctrine that each state, when going into the union, retalned Inherent power to resist federal laws or to secede whenever, in the judg- ment of the state authorities, the nation attempted to enforce measures not war- ranted by the constitution of the United States. The earliest authentic assertion of this doctrine was a document Yre[varrd by Thomas Jefferson and adopted in the form of resolutions by the legislature of Ken- tucky in 1798. Afterward agitation of this doctrine of state rights constantly creased, and was augmented by persistent efforts on the part of the northern states o resist the extension of slavery. The democratic national convention, which con- vened at Cincinnati in 1856, reaffirmed in its platform the Kentucky resolutions, and made them part of it creed. It was on this platform that James Buchanan was elected president. Four years later, in May, 1960, the republican national convention met at Chicago and nominated Abraham Lin- coln for the presidency. He was elected on a platform containing these words: *Ths Tederal constitution, —the rights of the states, and the union of states must and shall be preserve No political party had ever before under- taken so momentous a task. When Lincoln was_inaugurated he was beset on every hand with the gravest perils, but in his address he frankly stated his purpose to carry out the policy of his party To preserve the union of states, saying: *f shall take care, as the constitution itself expressly enjolns upon me, that the iaws of the union be faithfully executed in all the states.” * Cost iu Blood and Tre re. No purpose of a ruler was ever before carried out at such an expenge of blood and treasure as this purpose of President Lin- coln. When he took his seat war was in- evitable, though he expressed the hupe it might be avirted. He declared without equivocation .hat there would be no war unless it was forced upon the na tion by the deflance of rederal authorl but the south had already begun prepa.a- tions for a conflict. Fort Sumter was firsd upon, most of the southern states seceded in rapid succession, and the southern con- federacy was formed, with its capitol at Richmond. When the war began Lincoln had no thought of freeing the slaves or of depriving the southern people of their | rights or property. The one consuming | born gives employment to two daily freight | A.

NIOBRARA, Neb., Feb. 12.—(Special)— Captain Jcseph Leach and two sons have purchased the freight and passenger packet steamer F. J.

The country has out- Louls Kossuth lived the marching armies of discontent under Coxey and Kelly, and it will cer- tainly outlive the dangers incident to mes J. Hill and J. Plerpont Morgan. The life of Lincoln from 1500 to 186 cov- ered the greatest cvents in the formative period of the republic. The civil war did more for America than all the years of | the republic had done before. It destroyed contentions over trifles and centered ths purposes of the people on national life. Tt was the beginning of American greatnese. Someone has said of ‘the clvil W 3 crowded four centurles of progress into four years of war.” Lincoln was too great for the small pur- es immediately following the war, as e had been too great for some of the small disputee leading up to it.
