BRYAN SPEAKS ON
 ABRAHAM LINCOLN
PAYS HIGHEST TRIBUTE IN AD- DRESS AT MEETING TO CON- MEMoRATE ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT EMANcIPAToR.

Wy A S T, April 14.-"For more than a 7 .&S Jur nation has been the great e S i'd powers" declared William J. < onight, in an address on "Abra- Q 4incoln," at meeting held under & dspiees of the Union Veterans Legion p' 4mpment to commemorate the 42d an
 versary of the death of the great eman- -ipator. He reviewed the country's pro- gress since the civil war and declared the reunited country was only a ful- fillment of the dream of President Lin coin.
 MT Bryan paid the highest tribute to Lincoln, as man, orator and statesman. 'Lincoln's heart" he said. ..linked him forever with the common people, and to- day his life should be the greatest in- spiration to every young man"
 He said the nations greatest asset is its schools and colleges, where the raw material is turned into the finished pro- duct of the best citizenship in the world.
 MT. Bryan also addressed the Sunday school of the Presbyterian church earlier in the day.
 Washington, April 14- William J. Bryan addressed nearly 2000 persons at the new National theatre this afternoon. He spoke under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian association, and took for his subject, ''The Pride of Peace"
 MT. Bryan concluded with praise for the colleges and churches that have de- elined to accept money from wealthy men, who have gained their riches by dishonest methods"
 "One of our richest men, he said. "has reached point where he sometimes finds difficulty to find people to cake his money. And that I regard as the best evidence of the growth of a moral senti- ment in this country. It means some. thing when a great church pauses, hesi. tates, refuses to accept the money until 1t knows how it was made I believe the time will come when churches and col ieges will refuse to go into partnership in the spending of money irpnloraiiv .ill,,l. These great Institutions should say to a man, You did not make your money hon. estly; we will not share the odium witt, you.'"
