Did you ever read the speech of Edward Everett? Did you ever know a person who has read it? If you should now become curious to read it would you know where to lay your hand upon it? The other speech on that somber November day was made by a gaunt and homely man; painfully self-taught. Pressed upon by the relentless duties of the most diffi Teult office in the world at the time of its greatest crisis, he become classic in form, every i ' q Kt qwas taking him to the historic site And then, with a stumpy pencil, he had scribbled it, _\ between train jolts, on pieces of brown wrapping paper which | fellow-passenger—no less a personage than the haughty sec-| ‘metary of state, William H.

Yet AT THE MOMENT Lincoln himself thought his speech a failure, because it lacked the classic illusions, the wealth of scholarship, the pol- ished periods of the Everett oration; because, instead of noisy applause, its conclusion was followed by tense, almost painful silence. ‘And it was not until days afterward, when there was in upon him the instinctive response from the beating ts of the plain people of whom he was THE PERFECT PE, that he began to realize that in his simple utterance had caught the full spirit of the occasion and added to literature of human inspiration a contribution which can ER DIE.

We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here fave their lives thar that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense. we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate——we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our power to add or to detract. The world wall little note nor long remember what we 6ay here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living. rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead 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, forthe people, shall not perish from the earth.* CLUB MAY MOVE ROBERTS a ouT OLYMPIA 1 club| erts, sta hway commis Bask: just| was yesterday asked for his resig- secur-|nation by Gov.
