THE LEE LECTURES.
Noted Historian Appears Second
Time In Mexico-Much In
terest Manifested.

The FIRST Of a remarkable series
of lectures on vital problems in
our national life was given Mon
day uight at Hardin College
by DIR. Guy Carleton Lee. so long
identified with James Hopkins aud
Columbia universities.
The three addresses which Dr.Lee
delivered in this city make mp
what is known as the Tripartite
lecture. The first part, that
given Monday night, was entitled
when the People Wake" Tues
day night, THE Strength of the
people," aud last night, "A Ma.
ton Triumphant" Monday night
DR.. Lee discussed the dangers that
threaten our country. Tuesday
night he took up the remdies for
these dangers and the reason for
the success or failure of reformers.
Last night he summed up the ar
guments made in the two preceding
nights and showed that America
today and tomorrow shall be the
leader of the world.
DIR. Lee is we'll qualified to de.
liver such lectures as those he
made in this city. He is a histor-
ian. having over 45 volumes TO his
credit. Among them is history
of North America which was pub
lished in 30 volumes and has now
run through Eve editions. He has
not only been teacher in college
and university. but for years has
been responsible for the editorial
policies of two of our largest Dem
ocratic dailies.
The Triparite lecture is one of
undeniable good to any communi-
ty. 1t is elevating, inspiring aud
instructive. DIR. Lees presenta-
ton of the subject is not only
scholarly, but eminently fitted for
a popular audience. While his
words come from a most profound
knowledge, he nevertheless is able
to elothe them in simple aud under.
standable phrase. Although he
points out evils. he is never pes
simistic. He seems to set forth
the danger that his auditors mag be
on their guard, but he never fails
to show them how they may triumph
over any evils that threaten. His
audience seemed thoroughly in ac-
cord with the spirit of the address,
and although here and there might
have been a difference on partic-
uler points, the elOquence and log
ic of the speaker carried those
who listened to him with unabated
interest from the beginning to the
end of each discourse.
The lectu rer began with an ex'
ceedingly clever anecdote which
brought his purpose before his au-
dience in a manner that was i'm
pressiye and satisfactory. He
then asked What are we TO con-
slider todayf OF course it is easy
to answer me by saying the
strength of the people, but let me

against an ordinance recently pass
ed by the City Council prohibiting
minors from buying liquor in sa-

Several boys were recently called
before the grand jury and later

government aud compelled to pay

Mr.. Cant gives us the following
interview regarding the mat

in strong language, as follows;
THE City CounciI may as well
attempt to enfore an ordinance pro-
hibiting small boys from eating
green apples in May as that which
makes it misdemeanOr for minors
to buy liquor in saloons. The
dramshop situation in this city is
ludicrous and hypocritical. l have
little doubt in my own mind that
the city ordinance making the buy

fact there is q certain doubt in the

''The ordinance is inconsistent
with the State statues, interferes
with the enforcement Of the State
laws prohibiting dramshops from
selling intoxicating liquor to minors

met Commander-in-C Chief Van SAINT for
the purpose of going over the city and

were met there by Mrs. Mary NJ. North,
National Patriotic Instructor, and Mrs.
Isabel Worrell Ball, Chairman of the

Dissertation of the Flag. The two Ma
tional officers then paid fraternal visits
to two or three of the Eastern Depart
ments, then turned their faces south
ward, and visited the Department of
Maryland, where they were the guests
of the Department President, Mrs. Rob-
ert Sunstrom. and the Past Department
President, Mrs. Alviare Briscoe, and
were lunched and dined to the queens
taste. Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Mcclellan
expressed themselves as delighted with
their stay in Baltimore, where they
were so cordially received and so de-
lightfuIly entertained.

arrived in Washington Thursday morn
ing, and were met at the Union Station
by the President of the Department,
Mrs. Mary A. Dow, and taken directly
