EULOGIzES LINCOLN
in STIRRING ADDRESS

What Abraham Lincoln would do II
he were living today on some of the vital
questions that have arisen" was the
topic OF an address by Rev. D. H. Mar
tin. pastor of the Dumbarton NJ F
church. before the Park Lane Aurora
Heights Citizens Association last night.
at Park Lane. Virginia.
1T was misfortune that the nation
was deprived of the services of Lincoln
during the years of reconstruction that
followed the great civil war" said the
pastor He would not tolerate a hy-
phenated citizenship; he would do some
thing to reduce the high cost OF living
the Lusitania tragedy would never have
happened; and there would not have
been the critical times that have fol-
lowed The Kaiser would find Lincoln a
poor correspondent, but mighty quick
an action. Lincoln would have defended
the rights of small nations and defended
the rights of his own country on tn
sea.
There would have been no wholesale
deportation of the French and Belgian
people into slavery. He ended slavery
in this country and it is not likely he
would allow ii elsewhere. Today Lincoln
would have had the nation solidly knit
together and acting in concert in this ma
tiona' crisis. The government employe
would have had living wage long age
l-incoln's sense of justice would not have
permitted any other course

Piney Branch Association Instructs
Delegate on Telephone Measure.

After a long debate. members OF the
, Ptney Branch Citizens Association, a.
their regular monthly meeting in the
Iowa Avenue NJ. Z. Church, went on rec
ord last night as opposed to the Lewis
municipal ownership telephone bill and
instructed their delegate to the Fedora
tion Of Citizens Associations to vote
against 1t when the measure came up.
Before the vote was taken reports were
heard from the various committees who
had had the question under investiga-
ton. The general tenor of the arguments
opposing the passages of the Lewis bill
were that the arguments which had been
made by the Representative had not been
borne out by facts and figures and that
1t was believed that they now had bet
ter telephone service than the govern
n:ent could give.
Opposition was also voiced by the as

Gettysburg Address Extolled by
Speakers at Capitol.

That America must consecrate itself
anew to the doctrines of Abraham Lin
coin, and awaken to a realization that
the issues that have brought the ma
tion to the brink of war involve the
same rights which Lincoln fought to
uphold. were striking points in the eu-
logies OF Senate and House orators at
Lincoln birthday observances yesterday.
To-day In the crisis pending between
the United States and lands in Europe.
the issue before the world is the issue
which Lincoln gave to America-the right
of man to exercise liberty of action.
freedom of course and to enjoy justice
from ALL" declared Senator ]. Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois.
America must consecrate itself anew
to these vows" he said, that the future
before US may be protected in the pledge
OF Lincoln that seeing right and knowing
right makes might; that We bend every
effort to achieve the thing which we
know is to the welfare of our citizenship
and to the glory of the republic.
I'VE know that when the blood-drench-
ed events have come to their close, and
there shall arise the patriots of a new
era. seeking for prophets OF inspiration
and guidance, those who would take in
creased devotion to the new day will turn
to the United States and dedicate their
people to those holy standards burning
in the sky of the redeemed earth-Lincoln
and America"
Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read
in the House by Representative RUSSELL
