ANGUSH OF SOULS
GEETYSBURG, May 31. (/P)—
Standing where Lincoln pronounc- ;

burg Address, Hoover called the

'moved by charity toward all and
by malice toward none.’’
‘•His call for moderation,” Hoo- j
ver said “we will be wise if we j
ponder here what the previous |
wealth of human life might have J
been preserved, what rivers of
tears might never have flowed,
what anguish of souls might nev
er have been, and what spiritual
division our people might have j
been avoided if only our leader- j
ship had always been tempered by I
the moderation nd calm vision j
of Lincoln.”
In delivering the Memorial Day j
address the president said that j
the passing years brought new pro- j
blems and developed new aids, |
while the Union of States became
spiritual—or based on a common
ideal.
Mrs. John Rosness, accompanied j
by her son Henry, left today for

1 The Seattle Chamber of Com
merce entertained the local Cham
ber of Commerce and their wives
aboard the palatial liner S. S. Al
eutian at dinner last night at 8 p.
m. This change of plan was nec
essary on account of the limited
time left for the party in Seward,
the train being 30 minutes late,
having been held over for the party
at Anchorage and the necessity of
the Aleutian leaving promptly at 9
p. m. for Seattle.
j The tour, known as a Business
and Friendship Tour, was under
the direction of Mr. Nathan Eck
stein, one of Seattle’s foremost cit
izens.
j The Seattle visitors were greatly
impressed with their trip and
promised that on future trips the
schedule would be arranged so as
to give them more time in the dif
ferent towns along their route.
They were loud in their praise of
the wonderful treatment extended
to them by the Alaska Steamship
Co., and one and all were “sold” on
the par excellence of the steamer
