FORD GAZETTE VOLUME 101, NO. 37 BEDFORD, FRIDAY, MAY 3L 1907 ESTABLISHED IN IN Excellent Address Delivered in Court House by SUPT, ANSON WRIGHT lASt Resting Place of Departed Veterans Appropriately Decorated by Surviving Comrades. The court house was well filled yesterday by those who had gathered to pay the annual tribute of respect to the soldier dead when the time arrived for the usual Memorial Day exercises. The services were begun with prayer by Rev. M.

L. Culler. Then followed The Star-Spangled Banner by a union choir, Miss L. D. Shuck presiding at the organ.

A selection by the Osterburg band was followed by a second selection by the choir after which Dr. S. F. Statler introduced. County Superintendent J.

Anson Wright, the orator of the day, who delivered a masterful oration, a synopsis of which follows. Another selection of music and the benediction by Rev. A. Thos. G.

Apple completed the exercises at the court house. The flowers were conveyed to the several cemeteries and graveyards where the usual program was carried out. Summary of Address Less than a century ago in a rude frontiersman's cabin in the Kentucky woods Abraham Lincoln was born It was a birthplace scarcely less lowly than that of the Babe of Bethlehem. It would be hard to imagine, too, among a free people greater hardships than those under which Lincoln grew to manhood. Yet he "became one of the greatest men of all the ages.

As Lowell says "He was a type of the true elder race, And one of Plutarch's men talked with us face to face." The country in which he was born was the boasted land of liberty. But lie came to learn, with sadness of heart, that though it was indeed a goodly land it was yet a land in which not all were free. His youthful eyes had fondly lingered upon Jefferson's immortal words in the Declaration of Independence which say that "all men are created equal." But he was disturbed by those later words of Jefferson concerning slav- tremble for my country when remember that God is just." Though Lincoln was but 11 years of age at the time of the admission of Missouri to the Union, he could doubtless discern the ominous dissatisfaction with the Missouri Compromise. At the age of 21 he saw at I New Orleans for the first time slaves put upon the auction block and sold to the highest bidder. He there re- i solved that if he ever had the chance to strike slavery a blow he would hit it hard.

He observed with misgivings South Carolina's bad temper i and refractory spirit in declaring the federal tariff law "null and void." He saw that only the iron hand of the resolute Jackson prevented her secession at that day. With- extraordinary intuition and penetration of mind he noted and studied the development of. the slavery question and the secession idea. Remarkable It seemed, yet not illogical, that following upon the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, the border warfare in Kansas, the debate with Douglas, the raid upon Harper's Ferry by John Brown, should come at the very climax of the crisis the elevation of Lincoln to the presidency. to his high office, as he said, ARGUMENT COURT Session Held Wednesday Morning-Cases Disposed of.

District Attorney H. D. Tate has been confined to his home for several days. Bwing. At the evening meeting Judge not to make war, not even to destroy but to preserve the Union.

Though to the South he said "With you my dissatisfied countrymen lies the momentous issue of Civil War," his words availed nothing. The war came. Its awful horrors need not be dwelt upon. There was scarcely a home but that felt its blighting touch. But after four weary years came Appomattox and peace.

Splendid and picturesque must have been the sight presented by the march of the victorious armies in grand review through the streets of Washington city. Who were those men? They the men, who with their comrades living or dead, saved this Union. They were the men by whom the curse of slavery was stamped out in this country and the voices of nullification and secession forever stilled. And those were the armies to which you veterans, now with us, belonged. That was the test of fire in which your souls were tried.

This nation is united, a whole race is now released from chains, and we all are happy and blessed in all our days and because you stood'' well your test and nobly bore your' part. How tragic that Lincoln, who had piloted the ship of state across the storm- tossed sea of civil strife, after the voyage was ended and the haven of peace was reached, should upon the deck "lie fallen cold and dead!" We have followed Lincoln from cradle to bier for with hi name are forever linked the events we commemorate today. But let us turn from those scenes and actors and look about and of us. The nation never needed soldiers in time of war more than she needs good citizens in this day of peace. The nation needs men who are honest, not such as have been exposed by the system of graft recently laid hare in many sections of the country.

The nation needs men who are law-abiding. "Violence has no in a Republic and must not be tolerated." The nation needs men who are intelligent.

(Continued on Second Page.) Widow of Martyred President Succumbs to Paralysis. At one o'clock on Sunday, May 26, Mrs. Ida Saxton, widow of President McKinley, died at her home in Canton, aged 60 years. There was no pain, no struggle, the transition being so gradual and peaceful that the vigilant attendants and physicians scarcely knew the actual moment of her passing. Mrs.

McKinley was born in Ohio, June 8, 1847, the daughter of James A. Saxton. She was educated in the public schools and seminaries in Delhi, N. Cleveland and Media, Pa. She toured Europe in 1868 before she met and married William McKinley.

Ida Saxton was a cashier in her father's bank at Canton when she met William McKinley, then a struggling young lawyer who had returned from the war and was just working into a practice at the bar. They were married January 25, 1S71. Two daughters were born to them, one of whom died in infancy, the other at the age ot four years; since that time Mrs. McKinley had been an invalid. The assassination of President McKinley at Buffalo on September 1901, was a crushing blow and for some time her lite was despaired of.

She would not leave her Canton home, the last years of her life being marked by unending sorrow, brightened only by deeds ot charity and occasional visits of friends and associates. The funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and were very simple. The body was laid beside her husband in the tomb at West Lawn and will later be transferred to the national mausoleum, now almost completed and to bo dedicated September 30.
