CONFERENCE
HELD AT MIR. s.. W0oDWARD'S
LAST EVENING.
More Than $13,o 900 Already Pledged
for the Proposed New 7. M.
G. A. Building.

A number of citizens have joined the
board Of managers of the Young Mems
Christian Association in the effort which is
being made to secure the needed new build
ings for the work Of the Young Mems
Christian Association.
A meeting for conference was held last
evening at the home Of the president of the
association, Mr.. s. w. Woodward, at which
time plans were made for careful canvass
of the business and professional interests of
the city. The board of managers has been
very much gratified to receive during the
last few days several generous subscrip-
tons from business men which set good
standard for the canvass. The favorte
amount thus far is $1,000. These subscrip-
tons are payable in quarterly installments
in two years, and this fact is enabling many
men to give more than they would if pay
ment in full in cash were necessary.
Mr.. Woodward Presided.
Mr.. Woodward presided at the conference
last evening, and after a general statement
of the purposes Of the board and the great
need for the new equipment, introduced Mr..
George w. F. Swartzell, chairman of the
jubilee committee, who explained briefly
the plans for the citizens canvass He
called especial attention to the fact that the
present opportunity was the greatest which
had come to the association in Washington
and that doubtless no such opportunity
would again present itself to the men of
the city.
Large subscriptions" said Mr.. swartzell.
viii be necessary, for we have a large
project in hand
Most of the evening was spent in mapping
out work for the men present and a great
zeal OF valuable planning was accomplished

Liquors in Original Packages

The judiciary committee of the House has
favorably reported a bill to meet the con-
ditions Of the original package decision of
the Supreme Court. which was in effect.
that the states In the exercise of their pub
lie powers could not interfere with the in
production of liquors in original packages.
The decision prevented the enforcement OF
prohibitory laws enacted by various states.
The bill seeks to correct this by subjecting
Intoxicating liquors imported from one
state to another to the Jurisdiction Of the
laws of the state into which they are i'm
ported.

Russell spoke substantially as follows:
Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis
were both sons of Kentucky. The courage,
the sincerity, the honesty of purpose that
seem the heritage of all true Kentuckians,
were theirs In fullest measure. In their an
cestry, their education, their surroundings,
they typify opposing forces and irreconcila-
BILE political ideas.
ITO the one. the Declaration of Independ-
ence meant that all men are created equal
and therefore free. That was the dominant
and completing motive in the public life Of
Abraham Lincoln. To the other-to Jeffer-
son Davis-the same declaration meant that
certain colonies. owing separately allegi-
ance to Great Britain, had declared that
they are and Of right ought to be free and
Independent states with the right to do
all acts and things which independent states
may Of right do, and therefore that the
states forming the federal constitution were
free, sovereign and independent states and
so in unison the state constitutions Of Mas
sachusetts and New York and Virginia de-
clared them to be-, as those constitutions
stood when the civil war began"
1.-THE dominant political idea Of Jefferson
Davis was not the individual man and his
personal rights but the individual state as
the bulwark OF conservative government
and existing institutions.
when the Crittenden compromise failed
Davis followed his state out Of the Union.
and he also did right as he understood the
Constitution and his duty.
Jefferson Davis was as much a product
of his environment as Abraham Lincoln,
and he, as much as Lincoln, died a martyr
to the principles in which he believed.
abraham Lincoln gave his life for the
Union and the freedom of man.
Jefferson Davis died politically, and his
heart died when Grant refused the sword
of Lee at Appomattox.
VINO shall say that the man who lived
on did not suffer more for the cause and
the people he loved than the one who died
untimely and over whose tomb the blue
and the gray shall evermore Join In wreath
ing immortelles7
Jefferson Davis lived to typify lost
cause Abraham lincoln died amid the
