speaker at the Lincoln Republican
club banquet here last night. He said,

Mr.. Toastmaster and Gentlemen of
the Lincoln Republican Club: Of all

America, there have been but two
whose achievements have so woven
themselves into the fabric Of the ma

GRATED by all the people,
1t is indeed true that no country
on earth is so rich in the words
and deeds of great, strong-hearted,
high-minded men as our own, and
we remember all of them with un-
dying gratitude and increasing af-
lection; but by common consent these
two commanding figures tower above
all the rest, and the days which gave
them to the world are universally set
apart, crowned with especial honor;

struct a government. They are starv-
ing, not by the thousands, but by the
tens Of thousands; and I predict that
unless we are willing to stand by and
see that country lapse into barbarism,
and to see it ravaged day after day
by the cutthroats and plunderers who
are now in possession, we will be COM
PEELED to intervene simply to furnish
a nucleus around which the remnant
of liberty and decency can gather.
There may be some other way III
which we can be helpful, but am I'M

ought to be, and sympathetic as all

Belgium, our country would not have
been justified in declaring war be,

er we have been in fact neutral is
quite another thing. The government
may have maintained, technically a
neutral position, but individually, in

not been neutral. Agreeing, as

not by an organization in one locality
or another; not by societies with de-
fined purposes; but, in every COM
munity, every organization. every So
ciety, and by every true man and
woman in the land Your lips have
already named them-George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln.
1t is not my purpose this evening to
speak upon the life, character or work
of Abraham Lincoln. I have listened
to many tributes rendered to his gen
Jus, fidelity and virtue; some divinely
eloquent, some marvelously analyti-
cal; but none of them have filled my
instructive measure of the man.
Americans who love their country
and who know the things he said and
did and who remember the solemn
scenes through which he moved, can
feel what Lincoln was infinitely bet
ter than the most accomplished ora
tor can describe.
Divided House Cannot Stand.
Inasmuch as am speaking to Re
spublicans just entering upon an i'm
Rortant campaign for political SUI
pfemacy; Republicans who are now
viewing with sadness and regret the
humiliations and disaster inflicted in
three years Of Democratic admins
tration, and who are profoundly con-
WINGED that the American people de-
serve something better, I must be per-
mitted to recall one sentence which
fell from Lincoln's lips at the very
outset of the struggle of 1858. He
was referring to situation in the
country at large, but it may well be
invoked as the watchword for the Re
publican party in the months immedi-
ately before us. He said, as you will
remember: "A house divided against
itself cannot stand do
not expect the house to fall, but | do
expect it will cease to be divided"
The house of Republicanism, found
ed upon the truest principles ever
espoused by the human kind and
reared by the labor of the wisest and
most unselfsh patriots Of modern,
time, must not fall; but to stand, it
must not be divided against itself;
and it has become our highest and
most imperative duty to see that it il
not divided, and that it shall endure

Edward Markstone. a railroad man
of Philadelphia, narrated an instance
when President Lincoln paid an engi-
neer to slow up his train. 1t was on
the second trip that the president made
from Philadelphia to Washington over
the old Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad. George Feeney Of
Wilmington, Del. was the engineer OF
the train, and Markstone was the
brakeman In describing the occur
renee Markstone said:
George ran SO fast that when New
ark, Del, was reached and the train
stopped for water President Lincoln
got out Of the car and, walking up the
platform to where Feeney was stand
ing, said, George. take this and don't
run so fast, will your The president
had actually bribed George to hold his
engine in bit. It is needless to say
that the engineer did as directed.
When Lincoln first made his memora
BILE trip from Philadelphia to Washing
ton at the outbreak of the civil war
Markstone was one of the armed
guards on the presidents car. In tell
ing Of this historic ride he said:
The sleeper was attached to the rear
Of the train and was empty. In order
to allay the suspicion Of the passengers
as to the causes of the delay trucks
were wheeled backward and forward
bearing trunks and baggage Of every
description After wait Of nearly
half an hour cab dashed up to the
station, and a man unattended quickly

ship in a private corporation which,
had it been carried out, would have
associated the government with the
pirates of ocean traffic in an attempt,
not to relieve the people, but to make
profit out of them.
It is unique administration in that
it abandons, without a thought of re-
sponsibility, the most vital parts Of
the platform upon which it came into
power, and assumes that the people
will be satisfied with the simple ex-
PLANTATION that minds have changed.
At this moment it is in a state Of
chaotic confusion. The balance in
the treasury which it inherited from
a Republican administration has been
absorbed in the extravaganza of it's
appropriations, and it needs money
and does not know where to get it..
1t is blindly cropping around amidst
further stamp taxes, gasoline taxes,
automobile taxes, income taxes, and
the like. but lacks the courage to lay
its hands upon anything. It is a
respondent, aimless, spineless wander
er in the wilderness created by it's
own incompetency. It is not big
enough for the job; and what will
happen to us during the next year
mortal man cannot predict.
If I were to leave this meeting with
out considering our relations with
foreign powers and without express
ing my own views upon the subject
which we have come to know as "pre~
paredIess," the things uppermost in
my mind, and yours as well I have no
doubt, would remain unsaid. The sub
ject presents itself in two aspects.
Our course toward Mexico, and our
relation to the belligerents of Europe.
Mexican Policy Shameful.
No real, red-blooded American will
ever turn to the page which records
the conduct of this administration to-
ward Mexico without blushing for
shame and burning with Indignation.
1t is hard for me to speak of the sub
ject in terms of respect. do not, OF
course, charge the president and his
advisers with conscious wrongdoing,
but weakness and vacillatiOn are
sometimes more than the equivalent
of Intentional wrong, and from this
accusation the president cannot es-
cape.

citizens who had right to be in
Mexico have been robbed, shot, hung
and starved at the pleasure of the SO
called armies rowing about the coun

Our government has not only failed
in it's duty toward our own people who

the most atrocious outrages against
Mexican men and women the world
has ever known, without a decisive
word or a courageous act.
