FOSTER EULOGIZES LINCOLN
Representative from Vermont Tells
of His Teachings.
Addresses Men at Y. VI. c. =. on
Unity and Equality rs ExempIified
by the Martyred President.

Unity and equality as eXemplihed by
the teachings Of Abraham Lincoln was
the subject of an address 10y Repre-
sentative d. J. Foster. of Vermont at
the meeting for men at the Young Mems
Christian Association yesterday after
noon. The necessity for united action by
the colonies before and during the Revo-
lutionary war, the critical period which
followed the surrender of CORVALLIS the
growth of the republic and it's future
were outlined by the speaker.
The people of the colonies" he said,
were bound together by dread of a COM
mon foe but when the last red-co2t had
been driven from the country, and the
fear Of the oppressor no longer meuaced
the land, there We're left thirteen petty
republics. each jealous of any power that
might accrue to the other, and all fear
ful that there might arise the tyrant who
would seize the reins OF government.
Then It was that our fathers. Tealiz-
ing in their wisdom the perils which con-
froated them. formed that central gov
eminent which stands to-day as the
greatest republic and power of the world.
The forty-fvc States of to-day are en-
gagged in "a good-natured rivalry, each
striving for supremacy, but all working
together FOR the common good.
I'VE commemorate I'm the birth Of Lin
coin those events which constitute the
most eventful struggle and glorious vic
tory recorded in human annals. Lincoln
was the spirit of democracy incarnate
History is full of names of men who
have risen 10 power, only TO exhibit the
mean. the contemplate sides of thei.
character Lincoln, the President of the
United states the COmmander-iu-chief Of
the army and navy, was the same Lin
coin who split rails on his fathers farm
The farmer, clad i'm hOme-spun, who
came 20 him, interceding for his son
was received with as much courtesy and
Eentleness as ii foreign ambassador who
sought him on a diplomatic mission
When Lincoln died, he was the most alb
solutc monarch in Christendom, for me
WAS enthroned in the hearts of his coun-
tTymeu.
The usual club meetings followed the

BRENNAN is CONFIDENT.
Contractor Associated with oliver
Hopeful of Panama Contract.

Patrick j. Brennan, the young contractor
and builder of this city, is one of the
men who viii personally direct the build
ing Of the Panama Canal. if the Oliver
bid Is accepted by the government. Speak
ing of the matter, Mr.. Brennan said last
night that the organization formed by
Mr.. Oliver had complied with every re-
qUirement, and he felt confident that the
bid would be accepted.
Without meaning to refer to my own
qualification as a constructor. said Mr..
Brennan modestly, lit is true that Mir.
Oliver has gathered about him Il number
of the ablest men in the construction
business in the world-men who have
successfully handled great engineering en-
terprises.
Mr.. Brennan is Of the opinion that the
contract should be awarded to the low
est bidder. He said il was the firm in
tention Of every contractor associated
with Mr. Oliver in the enterprise to 40
to the zone and personally give his full
est attention 10 the work until the canal
is completed.
Mr. Brennan. who is but thirty-siX years
of age, Is at the head Of the Brennan
Construction Company, one of the big

country. He built the filtration plant
in this city, the Dominican House of
Studies at the Catholic University. the
recent big additions TO Georgetown Uni
versity, a number of churches in Wash
ington and elsewhere. Mr.. Brennan at
present is also ensa ged on the new
buildings for the Senate and the House.
His company, which does all Of the street
paving in this city, employs between 5000
and 1909 men.
The Washington herald., 1907-02-11

what is now needed in this direction is
the acquisition of larger terminals and
the construction of additional railway
mileage.
Roads May Have Gone Too Far.
The railway companies have gone 20
extremes. as many critics think. in their
elevation Of the wages of employees and
in curtailing hours of labor along their
lines; and these expenditures. taken along
with those consequent upon the we'll
known increase in the price Of commodi-
ties and articles of every description, have
so swollen the expenses of the railways
that their margin Of net earnings applica-
BILE to dividends displays clear tendency
TO decrease. If it were possible for the
railways 10 acquire money by the issue
of new stocks and bonds for the purposes
that have been described they would not
have to draw upon their earnings for
their expenditures. as all Of them have
had TO DO in the last twelve months IN
any other line OF business or occupation.
under such circumstances the individual
or firm I'm the presence Of the eXigency
would adopt the cOmmon-sensc policy OF
raising the price Of the article or the
charge for performing the services which
il was the business of the concern to
manufacture or TO render; but here is
where the pinch comes in the case of the
railways

Describes Evils of Intemperance

North-Praises Them for Their

Temperance was strongly advocated by
DIT w r. Grenfell in his lecture on Lab

terrain Church last evening. Dr.. GrenfeH
who has spent a large part Of his life
among the deep sea fishers who live along
the coast Of Labrador, told, among other
things. Of the great danger in which the
sale of liquor places the simple fisher folk.
Il am told" he said that there is an
effort in the District to abolish the sale Of
liquor entirely within its bounds. 1 sin
ccrely hope that this measure will pass.
There is no need of alcoholic drink in the
District. any more than there is in any
other part Of the world In Labrador we
/ have succeeded IN passing an international
prohibition act completely abolishing the
liquor traffic throughout the precincts Of
the country. IT is a weIl-knOwn fact that
in the far north drink is the worst enemy
OF man. Fishers starting out on their
annual trip TO the fishing banks have
more than once fallen overheard. while in

family, entirely dependent upon them for
support. in a state of restitution.
Fathers Of families have more than
once come TO me and begged me TO entreat
/ their brothers. in order that they might
stop this habit. Fortunately the sale has
/ been entirely stopped. and guuboats Of
different nations patrol tn waters around
/ Labrador with orders 20 board any vessel
/ that they may ind selling liquor"
In his address, Dr. Grenfell told OF the
simple upsuspecting nature Of the fisher
men Of the north. which makes them an

DEFENDS REED SMOOT.
Elder Vivian Ridges Talks Before
the Secular Lengue.

"MoTmonism from the Inside" was the
subject of a paper read az the regular
meeting of the Washington Secular
League yesterday, in the Pythian Temple
on Ninth street by Vivian Ridges. Of
Utah. who is himself an elder IN the
Mormon Church. Many Of the members
and others who We're not members. of
the order assembled in the hall yesterday
expecting to hear some startling revela-
tons Of the Mormons. their ways. and
astonishing facts about the apostles. But
they were disappointed; I'm way, Elder
Ridges defended the Mormon Church. and
at other times he seemed to find fault
with their beliefs.
Elder Ridges defended Senator Reed
Smoot. said he knew him like "a brother
Reed SmO0t is not a polygamist." he
SAID, and / know this positively He
was elected to the United States Senate
by the Republicans of Utah, and not by
the MoTmons. An apostle. however. or
any other high official OF any church
has no business in Congress.
The young elder said be had taken the
oath Of the Mormon Church, but that he
had taken no oath against the laws of
the United States. When he said this he
was literally applauded.

OPINIONS ON THE
NEW YORK MARKET

From The Washington Herald Of Yesterday.
Benjamin Woodruff. OF Post * Flagg-
Scarcely anything occurred in the mar
llet to-day until after the publication
Of the bank statement. but the adverse
influence noted yesterday were sufficient
to cause a weaker opening and hold
prices down. The showing made by the
banks was worse than any OF the fore
casts had made out. The decrease in
cash Of Sl200U00 is accounted for by the
fact that the trust companies and State
banks are to be examined next week,
and that a large amount of Withdrawals
by the government did not show in last
Saturdays statement. It will probably
mean higher money for time. The mar
ket closed slightly up from the low quo
tations for the day"
s II Agnew, of Henry CleWs & Co
The expected reaction came this morn
ing. after the publication Of the bank
statement, which was fully as bad as
expected. The statement not only reflects
the loss Of cash this week, but corrects
the figures of last week. The total sur

Apprehension concerning the future OF the
money market acts as a check to any
pronounced bull movement, which other
wise might have been looked for at this
time Il is realized that prices are COM
paratively low. and the recent liquidation

DEFEAT OF THE SHIPPING BILL.

IN TN1E last session OF Congress the shipping
u bill had clear majority Of both branches,
but ii was defeated through the 6libustering
practices in the closing hours Of the session. tits
believed that the measure would have become
law had It received the loyal support OF the Re
publicans But many OF the party in the House
voted against this bill which in principle had the
commentator OF every Republican President for
many years past President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Root were both earnest advocates of the
bill as it framed in Congress In the Republican
platforms it is regularly indorsed Yet the party
is unable to enact it into law.
Most Of the Republican opposition comes from
the Western States. some of which border on the
ous lake shipping interests that are amply pro-
tccted by navigation laws. The representatives
from these States do not realize the difference
between this shipping, which is PRACTICAL va mo-
nopoly, and the shipping of the high seas. In the
latter the Americans must compete with the for
eigners who receive aid from their government.
The higher scale OF wages of the Americans, too,
operates against us in the race for marine devel-
opment Then, the shipping bill has received a
setback because Of the name of Subsidy that
has been attached to it. Subsidy" to some
folk sounds like a frghtful thing carrying with
it visions iteanptiun and sordidness. II is ew-
dent that campaign for merchant marine relief
will have to be waged in this country, and can
not be started too strcnuousy. All the State or
cities iniercstedin shipping either in the carrying
radc or in the building OF boats, are concerned in
this bill
