Previous to last July Glassberg was en-
ployed as clerk in the store of Barnard

Representative Sheppard Believes
Coins Should Bear Motto Displaced.

I'm the hours of a great crisis both
Washington and Lincoln turned to God
for guidance and it is therefore eminently
fitting that we should put on the coins of
the nation they struggled for the motto

tive Morris Sheppard of Texas, in speak

Club at it's house at 18th and X streets
last night.
''Washington's Influence on Lincoln

That Lincoln was an advocate of pro-

speaker, and he stated that Lincoln scan

that cause. At one time, after speaking

AGAINST PROHIBITION LAWS.
Resolutions on Liquor Question In
dorsed by Mercantile Association.

At meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Washington Mercantile AS
ISOLATION yesterday in room %. National
Hotel. the resolution of Mr.. Hugh F..
Harvey, which had been presented to
the Chamber of Commerce, was Endorsed.
The paper recites that 'as it is proposed
in certain bills pending in Congress that
the sale of Intoxicating liquors be pro-
hibited in the District of Columbia. and
as there is not now and has not been
any public dissatisfaction with the liquor
laws of this District, and there is no
abuse of the liquor traffic requiring the
enactment of new and stringent laws;
THAT as the strict enforcement of a
prohibition law in this District, if such
enforcement were possible, would be con-
trary to the will and an infringement
upon the settled habits of a majority of
the population, portion of which con-
ssts of the representatives of foreign ma
lions who are entitled to the consdera-
ton accorded to them in other capitals
which are by their nature cosmopolitan
and tolerant of the habits of sojourners;
THAT if such a prohibition law were
not strictly enforced 1t would be inef-
fective and vicious by reason of becoming
an incentive to law-breaking on the part
Of those who are now aw-abiding per-
sons;
LAS it is proper that Congress should
hear an expression of residents of this
District who are prevented from defeat
ing such proposed legislation at the polls:
ut is resolved by the Chamber of Com
MERGE of Washington that in the opinion
Of this chamber the enactment of a pro-
hibition law Is not desired by the people
of this District. and would be prejudicial
to their best interests: and We hereby
petition the committee Of the District of
Columbia to make an adverse report on
all bills providing for prohibition in this
District or for any change in the existing
liquor laws of the District"
In support of the resolution Mr.. Harvey
stated that the Washington banking in
situations alone receive in deposits daily
from the liquor trade more than 100000
He compared the difference in taxation
between wet and dry communities. AS an
instance, he said parts of Kansas are
