ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
 OF DEAD LINCOLN
EULoGIZEs MARTYRED EXEcU- TIVE AND GIVES ADVICE ON STAMPING OUT CORRUPTION IN THE GOVERNMENT.

Washington, November 16.-The crown ing event in the centennial anniversary of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church Tn this city occurred tonight at public meeting which was attended by many of the best known officials in the city. They included President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay, both of whom made address; Secretarys Shaw, Moody, Hitch cock and Cortelyou. Attorney General Knox, the greater number of the justices of the supreme court, and Senator Frye. The President and Secretary Hay occu- pied the Lincoln pew and both had some thing to say of the martyred President, Secretary Hays brief address being con fined exclusively to that topic.
 President Roosevelt spoke at some length of Lincoln, pointing out his lack of personal bitternes toward his ene- mics. Among other things. the Presi- dent said:
 T have the right to challenge the best effort of every American worthy the name, to putting down by means in his power corruption in private life, and above all, corruption in public life. And, remember you, the people of this govern ment by the people, that while the pub lie servant, the legislator, the executive officer, the judge, are not to be excused II they fall short of their duty, yet that their doing their duty cannot avail un- less you do yours. In the last resort, we have to depend upon the jury drawn from the people to convict the scoundrel who has tainted our public life, and unless that jury does it's duty, unless it is back ed by the public sentiment of the people, all the work of legislators, of executive officer, of judicial officer, are for naught." (Applause)

ARIZONA WANTS STATEHOOD.
Governor Brodie Urges That the In
 teror Department Give Aid.

Washington, November Ex-Governor Brodie of Arizona, in his annual report to the secretary of the interior, urges that the interior department aid in se- curing the passage of an enabling act for the admission of Arizona to state hood. He states, however. that the peo- pie of the territory would rather forego statehood than accept it by union with any state or part of any state or ter ritory. The governor recommended that the Indian school facilities in Arizona be increased, and that measures be taken to more properly care for the graduates of these schools by finding for them proper employment.
 The total population of Arizona is es- timated at 15500o. The total taxable wealth aggregates s43,0SS,S41, and the to- tai territorial indebtedness $1,064, 594
