MAYOR RAYMOND TALKS OF LINCOLN

time for the United States Senate.
Lincoln ran against him and then
came out fatty against slavery. He
challenged Douglas to debate
Everyone felt that Lincoln was fight

not stand up against that !. accom-
pl'shed orator Douglas. The debate
lasted seven days.
well. Douglas won his Office, but
Lincoln won his cause. Douglas went
! to the Senate, but from that time
ures in the United States, and two
years later he was elected President
of the United States.
Then began that memorable period
of which we have here with us to-
night these splendid survivors (here
the Mayor turned toward the front
rows. where Civil War veterans were
seated in full uniform). What heart
would not beat faster at the sight of
them.
Lincoln when he went to Wash
ington borrowed money to get there.
If any man ever came wholly unpre-
pared into office it was Lincoln In
1861. He had had but a scant edu-
cation. he had Travelled little. he was
wholly ignorant of the methods of
national finance. He was accused In
the first few months of not having
any settled policy and of just drift
ing along. There were great mis-
givings that he had no system of do
ing things. He created trouble
among his advisers by his constant
Joking and making puns. Even after
four years there was feeling among
his opponents that his administra-
tion had largely been q failure, and
everyone was sure that his competi-
tor, Mcclellan would win when Lin
coin ran against him for reelection.
What was 1t that gave him sue
cess when his case was seemingly
hopeless? 1t was his fundamental
honesty, his slow exercise of judg-
ment and thirdly. his absolute belief
in himself and his own destiny; so
that we think Of Lincoln as the
hberator and not as the President.
There was but one foul newspaper
that ever slandered him. His careful
Judgment, his absolute kindliness to-
ward all and his faith in his destiny
are the things that made him great
These are the men that you want to
select for office. This is the test you
will apply to those who come before
you as candidates; will they take the
dictations of boss or are they men
who believe that they ought really to
! carry out your wishes. This is the
message am learning every day and

chief servant. II you heed it you

ments. While no one took him up Oh
the wager, Smith proceeded to con-
sumo the glass. Two dimes were
lying on the bar and Smith proved
himself a good mixer" by downing
the coins. His appetite still un-
satiated, Smith picked up some pea
coal that was lying near the stove
and ate that also.
Proud of his feat, he then started
for. home. About seven o'clock he
complained of pains in his stomach.
His condition gradually grew worse
until about $3.50 o'clock he lapsed
into unconsciousness. His wife then
summoned the City Hospital ambu-

SCORES STATE
CONSTABULARY
Pennsylvania Legislator Talks
Against Proposed Jersey Po-
lice Before Socialists.

James II. Maurer, member OF the
Pennsylvania Legislature and presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania State Fed
Grafton of Labor. warned an audience
which overf1owed the Strand Theatre
yesterday afternoon against a State
onstabuiary. He said such a measure
rs is now before the New Jersey
legislature would only legalize such
tols as those committed at Roose-
s'elt recently.
The meeting was the tirst OF q series
oc Sunday afternoon lectures ar
ranged by the Essex County Socialist
lecture committee, and, although the
theatre accommodates 1900, it was
Necessary 10 close the doors before
ne hour announced for the COM
nencement OF the lecture. Henry
garliss acted as chairman.
In denouncing the proposition OF the
creation of q State c0nstabulary in
New Jersey as being Just as bad as
lhe hiring of deputies-at-large, Mr..
Maurer drew a vivid word picture OF
The operation Of the Pennsylvania
state constabulary. He told his hear
ers how this body was vested with
The power Of arrest without warrants,
1ow it's members could break into
ne houses Of strikers on the slightest
suspicion, justified or uujustitied.
He related how in the coal regions
demonstrations had been provoked
through the agency of the constabu-
larry and how, generally speaking,
Pennsylvania labOrers had been no
better of than the strikers at Roose-
veit. He told that the constabulary
engaged by the State had done prac-
ically everything that was done by
the gunmein IN this State hired by
private owners
In addition, the speaker said, the
fact that a constabulary exists IN
Pennsylvania does not do away with
he hiring OF irresponsible elements by
private corporations, and 1t has not
stopped in the State OF Pennsylvania,
ne added, the hiring Of the ill-famed
coal and iFon' police by the mine
owners.
Besides Mr.. Maurer, Congressman
eject Meyer London, Of New York,
made an address in which he spoke
4 the national problem OF the unem-
9loyed. He estimated the number Of
ae unemployed in the United States
III 3001,010 and promised that he
would introduce d bill providing for
government aid to the unemployed.
While Mr.. London touched on the
labor questions only from "a national
standpoint, he stated in conversation,
following the meeting, that If there
sere to be any hiring of strike guards
dt all. ne would be in favor of the
provisions Of the h'1' now before the
Jersey Legislature, which provides
fat deputies must reside in the
county affected by strike for q GER
ain length Of time.
