• Four toore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new Nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. t Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that Nation, or any nation-^ so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. 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 gave their lives that that .Nation might endure. It is altogether fitting and proper tint we should do this. But, in & 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 poor power to add or detract The world will little note nor long remember what w* say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for us, the living, to be here dedicated to die great task remaining before us--that from the honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this Nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and •that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish, from the earth. BRAHAM LINCOLN'S Gettysburg ad­ dress is today ranked as one of the immortal utterances of man. The truth, the faith that are voiced in it are eternal, historians say. From the platforms of little white schoolhouses out on the prairie, from the flag-decorated stands at Fourth of July celebrations, from the solemn rostrums of the centers of learning the Gettysburg address has been repeated times without number and doubtless will continue to be as long as the spirit of democracy lives on. Yet, with the strangely limited view of those at band, the great address was considered a failure by many at the time it was delivered. Lincoln him­ self believed that he had failed to speak anything worthy of the occasion and was greatly downcast. :The sense of his failure at such a momentous event added no little to the intolerable burdens that "weighed upon him in 1803. The daily newspapers Qf the North generally took little notice of Lincoln's words at Gettysburg, but were lavish In their praise of the long address delivered by Edward Everett, the great Boston orator, on the same occasion. The Patriot and Union, an influential newspaper published at Har- risburg, Pa., with an ability for misjudgment al­ most beyond all belief, said of the address: "The president succeeded on this occasion be­ cause he acted without sense and without con­ straint in a panorama that was gotten up for the benefit of his party more than for the glory of the Nation and the honor of the dead. . . . We pass over the silly remarks of the president, for the credit of the Nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion be dropped over them and that they shall no more be repeated or thought of." Even the usually keen-vlsloned John Hay, then Mr. Lincoln's assistant secretary, erred in his Judg­ ment of the comparative importance of the ad- dresses made that November day at Gettysburg. Said Hay In his diary: "Everett spoke, as he always does, perfectly; and the president. In a firm, free way, with more grace than is his wont, sald'his half dozen lines of consecration." In Mr. Hay's mind, as In the minds of nearly all present, Edward Everett's address overshadowed all else on the program. Yet who today remembers a half dozen lines of the two-hour long speech made by the Massachusetts orator? Edward Everett, almost alone of all the thou­ sands who had gathered at Gettysburg that day, caught the deathless purport of the president's words# He wrote to Mr. Lincoln tt congratulatory 1 note, saying: i "I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in my two hours as you did in two minutes." Even this praise from the man who was consid­ ered the master speaker of his day did not wholly convince Mr. Lincoln that his own utterances had not fallen short. In his reply to Mr. Everett he said: "In our respective parts yesterday you could not have been excused to make a short address, nor I a long one. I am pleased to know that, in your Judgment, the little I did say was not entirely a failure." There Is every evidence that the president wrote his address hurriedly and at the scant moments of leisure given him in those troubled days. That lie did not complete it until a few hours before it was delivered is certain. In fact, he did not know until about two weeks before the date that he was expected to talk at all. The committee that bad charge of the arrangements for the consecra­ tion of the national cemetery at Gettysburg asked Mr. Everett a long time in advance and had post­ poned the date of the consecration from October IB to November 19 at Mr. Everett's request. David Wills, a public-spirited citizen of Gettys­ burg and the originator of the idea of a national cemetery there, wrote to President Lincoln on No­ vember 2, six weeks after Mr. Everett had been in­ vited to speak, as follows: "The states having soldiers who were killed at Gettysburg have procured grounds on a prominent part of the field fpr a cemetery and are having the dead removed to them and properly buried. These grounds will be consecrated and set apart to this sacred purpose by appropriate ceremonies on the 19th. Hon. Edward Everett will deliver the oration. I am authorized by the governors of the different states to Invite you to be present and par- tldpate In these ceremonies, which will be very imposing and solemnly Impressive. It is the de­ sire that, after the oration, you, as chief executive, set apart these grounds to their sacred use by few appropriate remarks. . . ." A few days before the consecration Mr. Everett sent to the president a newspaper containing his speech In full--two whole pages. The president, speaking of this act to a friend, said: "It was very kind of Mr. Everett to send me this. I suppose he was afraid I should say some­ thing he wanted to say. He needn't have been alarmed. My speech Isn't long. ... It Is short, short, short." Mr. Lincoln began his address while at the Whl% House, writing It in ink upon a sheet of executive letter paper. He finished it in pencil upon a sheet of foolscap the morning of the day he spoke at Gettysburg. Some historians have maintained the president wrote his speech while on the train on the way to Gettysburg, but John G. Nicolay, his private sec­ retary, said that this was not the case. Lincoln, he maintained, knew before that time what he should say and was plainly disturbed by the feel­ ing that his address would not prove adequate. Owing to the presence of thousands of visitors' --parents of the dead who were to >»e reburied there, crippled soldiers, sightseers, officials from various states--the president and his party spent-' the night before the consecration at the Wills home. It was a crystal clear night. From the business section of the village rose the music of many bands that had come to take part in the ceremonies. Crowds of serenaders and glee clubs weiit from house to house, where there were nota­ bles, demanding speeches. Mr. Lincoln responded to a call, but declined to make a speech, saying; only: "In my position it IS somewhat important that I should not say any foolish things. It very often happens that the only way to help it is to say nothing at all," Secretary Seward, who consented to make a speech, made the remarkable error of placing Get­ tysburg within the state of Maryland. His words rang witli reproof, for he believed he was speaking to slaveholders or those who sympathized, at least, with the cause of slavery. David Wills, recalling Control Trade After War j Extension for a period of three years after the Close of the war of the extraordinary powers now exercised by the government in the regulation of imports and exports Is the object of a bill now before parliament, according to commerce reports. This measure, entitled Imports and exports (tem­ porary control) bill, presented by the president of the board of trade, embodies the most important legislation thus far initiated with a view to pro­ tecting and controlling British trade after the war. Unless extended, present powers of control of exports and Imports will to a great extent lapse upon the cessation of hostilities. Section 1, paragraph 1 of the bill reads as fol­ lows: '"The lords of the council on the recommenda­ tion of the board of trade may by order prohibit the importation or exportation of goods of any . class, description, or origin, or produced or manu­ factured in whole or in part in any country or place specified in the order, either generally of from or to any country or place named in the order, subject in either case to such exceptions (If any) as may. be specified In the order, and to any licenses the grant of which may be auth­ orized by the order." While ordinary legislation has given authority for certain measures of control In times of peace, the particular powers which it is desired to make effective beyond the duration of the war are the following: Prohibition of importation of goods of sneclfied ; prohibition of exporta­ tion of goods of any kind; prohibition of expor- . tat Ion of all goods to any country or place spe­ cified. The desire on the part of British Interests for some action of this nature is shown in a resolu­ tion in favor of "restriction, by tariff or other­ wise, of the trade relations with enemy countries" adopted by the Association of Chambers of Com­ merce of the United Kingdom in 1916. CUBAN AVIATORS TO FRANCE. i Col. Manuel Coronado, member of the Cuban senate, recently announced In Havana the organi­ zation of an aviation unit which will be offered to France with complete equipment. Since the dec­ laration of war against Germany on April 8 Cuba has been co-operating with the allies In several ways, but It Is probable that the Escadrille Cu- balne, as the flying unit will be called, will be the first body of fighting men from Cuba to serve on French soil.--Scientific American./ THE NEXT CAMPAIGN. "Morning, Jim." r "Morning, senator." "Jim, I suppose you are going to vote tor me, as usual. My policies--" "Your policies are all right, senator. But there was a mighty pretty girl around today looking "for votes." Mr. Seward's speech, said that the secretary used the words: "This is the first time that ever any people or community on this side of Mason and Dhcon's line (meaning the Southern side) was found willing to listen to my voice." The following morning Mr. Lincoln rode at the head of the procession to the platform at the new­ ly prepared cemetery, his tall, ungainly form slumped over his horse, his face set in its pathetic, homely lines. Only once did he relax. That was when a man held up a little girl as the president rode by. Mr. Lincoln grasped the child in his arms, kissed her and handed her back to the proud fa­ ther. A shadow of a smile, gentle beyond all de­ scription, passed over the drawn face of the presi­ dent, only to be replaced by that sad, absorbed look that had become so typical of him. A prayer by Rev. Thomas H. Stockton, chaplain of the United States senate, opened the program. It was an eloquent, though somewhat lengthy, ef­ fort and it breathed the spirit of victory rather than of humility. It was noon--the serene, sunlit, crisp noon of a perfect fall day--when the ven­ erable Edward Everett arose to speak. His oration was modeled along classical lines, was filled with the eloquence so popular In that day and It held the multitude in rapt silence. Mr. Everett had long been a figure in public life, an ambassador, a member of the cabinet, a governor, a speaker of great renown. Much was expected of him, and he gave all that was anticipated. The carefully Chosen, exquisitely polished phrases, delivered in his deep, sonorous voice, fell with great effective­ ness upon his hearers. He reviewed the events that led to the war, described the battle and praised the heroes of the North who had died there. But vivid as was the phraseology, penetrating as was his logic, his address lacked the breadth .that would have made it undying. There was a note of bitterness In it when he asked: "Which of the two parties to this war is responsible ror all the suffering, for the dreadful sacrifice of life--the lawful and constitutional government of the United States or the ambitious men who have rebelled against it?" That same minor spirit crept into his words again and again when he referred to the "disloyal slaveholders" and the "aspiring politi­ cians" of the South, and near his conclusion, when he said "the bonds of union are of perennial force and energy, while the causes of alienation are imaginary, fictitious and transient." It was essen­ tially a speech of a Northerner for the North. A long roar of applause followed the close of his speech. After the singing of a hymn the time came for Mr. Lincoln to speak. He arose slowly and for almost a minute he stood silent, surveying from bis great height (he waves of upturned faces, be­ yond them the broken stone walls of the bloody angle where Pickett's charge had failed and past that the undulating brown fields where the shat­ tered brigade of the South had turned back. Far­ ther than these things of the moment he must have gazed, off into the Illimitable future of mankind for whose guidance he was soon to pronounce one of the most solemn obligations of history. Then in the curiously high pitched voice that _.«eemed so oddly fitted to his towering body, he began to speak. The crowd that had relaxed when Mr. Everett closed his long address, began to set "itself for another lengthy speech. The hrevity and Simplicity of the president's words caught the crowd unawares. It had scarcely adjusted Itself for listening before he had finished. There was silence as he bowed and turned back to his seat. The silence continued for a full minute, to be broken only by scattering applause. There had been handclapping here and there at pauses in his address, but it had not been general. The import of his words had not yet reached those who stood that day at Gettysburg. There must have been a throb of deeper pain in the already aching heart of the big, awkward, sad-faced man who walked with so little grace back across the platform and sank Into his seat. Doubtless he felt, as he had feared, that his address had been a failure. The singing of a dirge closed the program, and the president and other notables returned to the village. When the ceremonies were over Mr. Ev­ erett was one of the first to reach Lincoln's side. "Mr. President," he began,' "your speech--" but the president interrupted him, that shadow of a smile again crossing his face. He laid his hand upon Mr. Everett's shoulder. "We'll not talk about my speech, Mr. Everett," he said. "This Isn't the first time that I've Telt that my dignity ought not to permit me to be a public speaker." After luncheon a reception was held at the home of David Wills and many of the townspeople and visitors greeted the president. Among those who gathered at the Wills home was Prof. Calvin Hamilton, who remarked afterwards upon the ex­ pression of sadness upon Mr. Lincoln's face. The president seemed listless, his thoughts far away, as he shook the hands of the hundreds who passed. Later In the day he walked with John Burns, the village hero, to the town's little Presbyterian Cburch, where a patriotic service was held. He sat "with Burns, the cobbler patriot, In one of the high- becked benches of the church, taking no part in the program. He was not asked to speak again while In Gettysburg. He had uttered the "few ap­ propriate remarks" that had been asked of him. | -TAKEN FROM EXCHANGES An attachment for automobiles to coDect much of the dust they cause is the invention of an Englishman.

Champaign--The war conference of farmers and stockmen here, under the auspices of the state council of defense and the University of Illinois, closed Its work with the adoption of a com­ prehensive Sftod production program for Illinois. This action is a direct an­ swer to President Wilson's message to the farmers. First a committee was appointed for each branch of food pro­ duction, as wheat, corn, hogs, dairy, etc., composed of specialists in each branch and including research and ex­ perimental agriculturists as well as practical farmers. Each committee worked out its recommendations for Its particular branch and these were in­ corporated in the general program. Chicago.--The price of coal will re­ main stationary during the existing Shortage, regardless of any conditions that may result from repeated bliz­ zards, cold waves or profiteering com­ binations. This assurance to the pub­ lic came from Fuel Administrator John E. Williams, who stated positively that no advance in charges would be per­ mitted dealers. Consumers were warned at the same time of a hard-coal famine coming, unless adverse weather conditions In the East were dispelled before railroads and mines were com­ pletely blocked off from communica­ tion with the middle West. Illinois mines report considerable improvement in handling their traffic. Placement of cars on switch tracks has increased fftr beyond the December mark al­ ready, and an army of men is engaged in bringing tbe number to equal that of a year ago.. Springfield.--Gov. Frank O. Low- den's stand that the Illinois $(>0,000,- 000 bond issue for a network of roads in Illinois will not be floated until the end of the war, Is supported by Secre­ tary Houston of the department of ag­ riculture. In a bulletin the federal de­ partment urges the postponement of all highways which are not based on Important military or economic needs. The governor in a number of ad­ dresses on the hard road bond issue urged that- the proposition be given united support at the general election In 1918. but declared that the bonds will not be issued until the close of the war. Springfield. -- Announcement was made from the office of Adjutant Gen­ eral Dickson of the Illinois National Guard that the rank of brigadier gen­ eral had been conferred on Col. Nathan W. MacChesney of Chicago. He has held a colonel's commission In the Guard since 1911. Since last Septem­ ber he has been judge advocate of the central department of the United States army. The adjutant general's order places him on the retired list as of date August 4, 1917. General Mac­ Chesney has been In some branch of the military service since 1893. Joliet. -- For the first time In history Joliet prison was shut' down In part recently. Lack of coal was the cause.. One thousand of the prisoners were idle by closing of the rattan works, shoe shops, broom and other industries. The prison has been using 70 tons of coal a day. It requires about 35 tons dally for heating and cooking. Wil­ liam Needliam, a burglar convict, tried to escape. He was found stiffened from the cold. He was still waiting for a chance to make a further break for freedom. Springfield.--Attorney General Brund- age In an opinion rendered to State's Attorney C. E. McNemar of Peoria county held that the serving of a term In the United States penitentiary did not debar a man from citizenship in Illinois. The opinion was rendered In the case of Edward Smyth, one of the men convicted of conspirac y In the dy­ namite plots at Indianapolis, Ind.. aad who has served a term in the United States penitentiary at Fort Leaven­ worth, Kan. Camp Grant.--Just as a big mercan­ tile house fills orders from its custom­ ers, Camp Grant supplied the wishes of the government for 97 men for serv­ ice overseas. - The war department's order had been received less than an hour when men corresponding to the stock clerks in a wholesale establish­ ment had it executed. The govern­ ment wanted 50 clerks, six sergeant majors, seven orderlies, 20 printers, nine mess sergeants and five chauffeurs. Bloomington.--Sportsmen who are familiar with the propagation of pheasants advocate their substitution for chickens, upon the farms of the state. It is argued that a native ring- neck pheasant weighs between four and five pounds, matures much quick­ er than chickens and attains its full growth in five months. Springfield.--In an application filed with the state public utilities commis­ sion the Central Illinois Public Service company asks authority to purchase the Southern Illinois Railway and Pow­ er company. It Is the first application for a combination of plants to save coal and make a better use of power available. Madison, Wis. -- Professor F. A. G. Cowper of the French de­ partment at the University of Wis­ consin, has been granted leave of ab­ sence to go to Camp Grant, to take charge of the teaching of French to officers in training there. The work Is being (lone under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. and the government. Freeport.--Socialists of the Thir­ teenth congressional district In con­ vention indorsed the bolshevikl peace proposals as representing also the peace alms of British socialist and la­ bor organizations. S. H. Zlmmermann was nominated for congress. Chicago.--Martin O. Thompson of Sioux Falls, S. D.; T. J. Henderson and wife. Sioux City. Ia., and Sidney Spitzer, five months old. Chicago, were killed, and 4o"*others Injured when an Illinois Central passenger train, hound from Omaha to Chicago, was ditched by a broken rail near Granger.

Two of them, the Bald Eagle and the Spread Eagb% are reported to have sunk. Killed by Poisons . t'i 7; THE McHEJTRY PLAINDEALER, McHENRY, ILL. I: News Nuggets :: From Illinois >-C^v , Chicago.--The milk commission of the Illinois state food administration has reached a finding wherein it rec­ ommends to State Food Administrator Wheeler that the price of milk remain at J 2 cents a quart, but such a storm of protest has broken because of al­ leged discrimination in favor of the distributing companies that the com­ mittee's finding has been withheld from the public and probably will be held in abeyance until passed upon by National Food Administrator Herbert Hoover. ^ Already some of the farmenrs have declared a boycott on Chicago. Urbana.--To the farmers of the United States President Wilson sent a message in which he called atten­ tion to the country's need for their as­ sistance during the coming year in winning the war. The message was sent through the farmers' conference being held at the University of Illinois at Urbana. One striking passage in the message read as follows: "You will realize, as I think statesmen on both sid£s of the water realize, that the culminating crisis of the struggle has .come and that the achievements of. this year on the one side or the bther must determine the issue." The mes­ sage was delivered by President,James of the University of Illinois, in the ab­ sence of Secretary of Agriculture Houston, who was to have represented tbe president. Mr. Houston was pre­ vented from participating by the tieup In transportation facilities. Chicago.--The petition to put the Chi­ cago saloon question on the ballot April 2 was tiled with the election com­ missioners. It was signed by 148,802 names. An estimated 5,000 additional names were rejected by the dry fed­ eration. The happy, singing company or drys who accompanied the petition to the commissioner's office was halted for 20 minutes in the city hall corri­ dors, while belated petitions were brought In. The commissioners were getting impatient at the delay and the procession moved up the stairs tri­ umphant that, without counting the names gathered but not filed, the peti- tloln,carried 42,802 more than the legal number, only 106,500 being required to put the question on the ballot. Springfield.,-- Precautionary meas­ ures to prevent delay in factories which are carylng war contracts were discussed -at a conference between members of the state utilities commis­ sion and owners of central and south­ ern Illinois companies. The commis­ sion has suggested that the various companies connect their plants in or­ der to furnish power to factories in case of a breakdown. While no defi nlte action was taken the utilities commission was given valuable Infor­ mation relative to working and power conditions in the state. The proposi tion was to connect the plants at Al­ ton, East St. Louis and nearby points for the protection of factories In that locality. Chicago.--The fuel administration has begun a system to find coal hogs who are hoarding more than the limit­ ed supply showed them. Reports that there are many such violators have readied the office of John E. Williams. All who ask for coal are required to fill out an application blank and those who make misrepresentations are subject to a fine of $5,000 or two years' imprisonment. A number of industrial plants In Chicago and at other points in the state are In difficulties because of lack of fuel, and several have been forced to close. The Inquiry the fuel administration is making is planned to prevent the unnecessary withhold­ ing of fuel from factories and other consumers. Chicago. -- Railroad officials here are contemplating Inauguration of railroad-owned and operated truck­ ing lines, to replace the present private enterprises, In an effort to speed up deliveries and prevent congestion of freight at the freight houses. The system would be oper­ ated oti lines similar to express com- panoes. Under present conditions, un­ systematic trucking lines operate in practically every city In the country and handle all work that Is offered. Urbana.--Farm labor in Illinois for 101S held the attention of delegates to the annual Corn Growers' and Stock Men's convention here. W. H. Young; state farm help specialist of the Unit­ ed States department of agriculture, delivered an address on "The Farm- Labor Situation In Illinois." He said he believed a sufficient number of men would be obtainable to harvest the crops. Boy labor for Illinois farms was explained by Burridge B. Butler, Bloomington. -- Farmers of near Doodsvllle estimate that thefre are no less than fifty wolves whose raids upon pig sty« and poultry yards have proved costly during the lust year. Hunters have been unsuccessful In killing any «f the animals, and it has been de­ cided to organize for a roundup as soon as the weather moderates. It Is hoped to enlist several hundred nlm- rods in the chase. Chicago.--Four men, one posing as a detective, entered the offices of the Heller-IJose company,. Jewelers, in the heart of the downtown district, and escaped with jewelry valued at from $35,000 to $125,000 after locking a member of the tlrm and two stenog­ raphers in a washroom. Chicago.--Fanners of Illinois were urged to market immediately all wheat held in reserve in excess of their seed­ ing "needs, in an order from Herbert C. Hoover, received at the office of the Illinois food administration. Hoover also requested that every farmer in the state plan now to plant as large an acreage of wheat as possible next year. St. Louis, Mo.--The Alton and Jack­ sonville railroad, with Its 21 miles of standard-gauge tracks, connecting Al­ ton and Jerseyville, went out of busi­ ness, and the entire property will be disused of as junk by its owner, John J. Cummlngs of Chicago. East St. Louis.--Sixty motormen and conductors on four divisions of the East St. Louis and Suburban Railway company struck as the result of the In­ auguration of a new schedule which they say declared for longer working hours without adequate compensation.

Experiments have demonstrated to Mr. Lake's satisfaction that when the submarine is at the bottom of tlie ocean, the oysters can be sucked up into it on the vacuum cleaner prin­ ciple. When traversing good ground, the submarine will suck up 5,000 bush­ els of oysters In sn hour. This mesas that in one hour a mass of oysters will be collected which. If compactly piled, would require a cylinder one and three-quarters mile long to hold it.
