How They Saw Lincoln Through State

lature and reception by the city authorities.
The plans were to have the President and his
party 90 to Baltimore for day in the morn
ing. That night word was received that
plot had been formed in Baltimore TO assas
snate the President.
Against his protest a few OF the intimate
friends Of Lincoln hurried him away secretly
on a special train in the night II ran straight
through Baltimore without stopping. There
was surprise in Washington when the Pres
ident arrived ahead OF his party, and the man
ner OF his arrival was denounced by both
friends and foes. Later. however. it was def
initely established that the information about
the plot against the Presidents life was sc-
curate, and then the criticisms ceased.
Judge Provost is native New Yorker, hav-
ing been born here on April ,, 1884. He has
lived in Brooklyn or Queens since early in
life His title OF Judge comes from having
served as a police judge for eight years IN
Queens For FIVE years he was president OF
the Board OF Education in Flushing, and for
four years was member OF the Board OF
Education in Brooklyn. For many years ne
has been prominent in Masonic circles. being
a thirty.third degree man, and has held almost
all Masonic Offices. including that OF grand
commander in chief for New York State.
One of his two sons, Andrew Jackson Pro-
vost, jr., IS partner OF DR.. Ernst Lederie,
former Health Commissioner, in his hydraulic
and sanitary engineering laboratories.
Judge Provost lives at 4o3 Washington av.,
Brooklyn. Every pleasant day he comes over
70 his Office in the Temple Court Building,
at No S Beekmsn ST.. and stays for just an
hour at noon. He is due back for luncheon
at o'clock and when his time is up he goes,
no matter what he may be doing or with
whom he may be talking.

the calling Of quorums ne had nothing to sustain
him. yet his eye was clear and his voice
fresh when he concluded his remarks. He did not
leave the Senate chamber once throughout the
time Of his speech. The most frequent Interrupt
tons came when the sharp eye Of one Of the anti
repealers saw that quorum wanting Then
electric bells would ring the double summons and
heavy eyed Senators would emerge from their
burrows in cloak and committee rooms, answer TO
their names, and go back to sleep again.
One of the most dramatl, nod-ups was mace

fused TO appropriate money to rrgate the d.
lands of the West.
II shall do what lies in my power TO prevent
this bill from passing" the Senator shouted. "ft
will not pass if my strength does not fail to such
an extent that I can no longer occupy this floor
and I am in pretty fair state Of health
To the laughter Of the Senate and the galleries
Carter then described the clam fats and the mud
banks OF unheard-of places for which large appro-
priations had been made in the present bill. He
discussed the draft and tonnage Of the scOws
and the lobster pots He lasted for more than
thirteen hours. When he was through the Con-

When the Roman Empire began 10 wsns Meso-
potsmis was taken by the Arabs, but was partly
retaken in 1897 by Godfrey OF Bouillon, the
Crusader and Odessa was again a Christian city
for fortyseyen years. After the Turks had sub.
verted the Arabian Empire. and finally the EN-
pre Of Byzantum, they overrsn Mesopotamis,
and in 1888 made IL Turkish province, since
which time il has become wilderness. The
marvellous irrigation of antiquity has become q
tradition, and where once flowed milk and honey
one now sees Gesert The blighting hand OF
the unspeaksble Turk, whose tax gstherer has
killed all incentive 10 industry, has made tn.
Garden OF Eden a vale Of tears, as il had Egyp,
and Mauritania once the zrsnsries Of the world.
before England, France and Italy took North
Africa away from him.
Three years ago, under the stimulus Of the
Young Turk movement, the Turkish government
undertook new irrigation works in Mesopotsrnis,
intrusting the construction TO Sir John Johnson,
the eminent engineer. The work was continued
ty Sir William willcocks builder Of the Assousn
Dam, and on December -, 1918, the Euphrstes
barage vas opened. This great bsrage, or dam,
has 8 head Of sixteen feet and has already made
possible the irrigation Of an extensive tract OF
rich land The valley upstream toward Babylon
had been cleared for fifty miles before the present
war broke out, and had the Turks not been carried
away by their ancestral bellieosty the great
Nesopo,smisn Lake might now be well on toward
completion.
Now that Lord Kitehener's forces have sue
cessfully invaded the region it is probable that
the British government will take over the admin
istrstion and do for Mesopotams what it ha. al
ready done for Egypt, restore the prosperity u
enjoyed before the coming Of the Turk.

Famous Filibusters at the Capitol

sumed hours on the admission OF Arizona 70 the
Union.
La Follette's unsuccessful attempt in the same
year to flibuster the Aldrich-Vreelsnd currency
bill was ended by clever trick on the part OF
Adrich himself Between the bursts OF La Fol-
lette's imprisoned oratory and gymnastics which
lasted with some interruptions for a little over
eighteen hours, Aldrich moved that when the vote
be taken It be taken by ayes and noes. The fill
busters did not see the point, but guessed that
something was up.
La Toilette yielded his place to Senator Stone,
gave in to the blind Senator Gore, who made
legitimate speech and yielded his place. expecting
that Stone would Immediately support him. Stone,
however, had left the room, and when Gore
cluded Vice-President Fairbanks called the vote.
By the aye and no system it was on Immediately,
and when La Toilette came rushing in he was too
late to stop it.
The last flibuster took place in September, 1914,
when Senator Burton, of Ohio, talked in all for
twelve hours and fourteen minutes on a rivers
and harbors bill that was strongly favored with
pork. Due 10 the efforts of the flibusters the
bill was cut from s53 10000 to $50 10000.
The present case OF the ship purchase bill also
shows how successful the filibuster can be. In
spite of its farcical characteristics it has been
vigorously defended BY Senator's and Congress-
men the only weapon that exists against the
tyranny Of the majority.
