Martyrs Spirit Guides Us.
Says Robert w. Bonynge,
Head of Club
Whitman Also Speaks
He Reads Greeley Editorial of
1864 to Show Editors Are

The Republican Club held its Lincoln
Day dinner last night in the clubhouse
1or the first time in more than gen
Grafton, dispensing with its usual hotel
reservation as war economy and ad-
hering strictly to meatless menu.
Robert W. Bonynge, president of the
cluo. who was toastmaster, referred to
the loyalty to the Administration de-
manded of the nation in this day as
similar to that rendered to Lincoln.
The Administration in Washington
IS our administration" he said, "and
we shall support 1t in it's war, and when
the majority has spoken we shall abide
oy ITS decision. The spirit of Lincoln
still directs US.
We believe in our ultimate triumph
IN the war, but we advocate the calling
CT the best men of any party by the
Admins stration for patriotic service"
Mr. Bonynge announced that R. A.
. Smith, ex-Commi issioner of Docks
and Ferries, had given $1,000 toward
base hospital. With the assistance
said, 1T was hoped that $4,000 would
be raised, the sum necessary to com
plete the equipment of Metropolitan
Base. Hospital 48, which will be known
as the Republican Club Lincoln Me-
moral Hospital Base Unit 48.
In Difference to the national need
Mr.. Bonynge said, the club had aban,
doned this year it's custom of holding
the Lincoln Day dinner at the Waldorf,
Astoria Hotel, and decided to hold "a
simple dinner in honor of the cher
1shed memory of Lincoln in it's own

Public Fails to
Grasp Economies

"The public does not think at all of
some of the economies of effort and
time that are obviously possible to a
railroad man. On the other hand,
some of the things that the public
most fondly dwells on in connection
with the unification Of the railroads
may not be brought about at all, at
least in no such degree as it fondly
anticipates. Almost any casual talker
can tell you all about the pooling Of
terminals Sounds fine, but there has
really been very little of it as yet, and
doubt if there will be relatively a
great deal. though there will be many
eases where it can be done very ad-
vantageously. l am not talking now
about what might be under permanent
government control or ownership. 1t
is plain that for the period Of the
war it would not be advisable to con-
solidate the Pennsylvania and New
York Central terminals in New York
City: There can hardly be even any
wholesale pooling of the Pennsylvania.

ley Erie, etc, terminals at that city.

consists of an agreement to purchase
specific amount Of war savings and
thrift stamps weekly or monthly, ac-
cording to how much each individual
determines in advance that he can
save; to buy only what he needs and
when he needs it, and by example to
encourage economy among his friends
and his associates. The societies re-
port regularly to the War Savings
Committee through their secretaries
and furnish a basis for competition be-
tween societies, with a resultant bene-
flclal effect upon individual savings"
A war savings society was yester-
day formed by 125 orphan boys of the
Hebrew National Asylum, 81 ST. Marks
Place. The boys have a system of self
government, and the impulse to organ
lze the club came from mayor" Sol
Reckler, thirteen years old. The boys
pledged themselves to buy a thrift

approved their decision.

You can figure out hundreds and
perhaps thousands of combinations
like that in the whole of the United
States. This is quite a different mat
ter. you will see. from the problem of
eliminating the long haul competitive
plan of figuring out routes that give
the initial railway the lions share of
about such rate may be. This does
rot involve the joint business long
haul at all. 1t simply gives initially
snort line business to short lines. Of
course, in emergencies or in particu-
lar cases the most expeditions way Of
moving freight may be to send it
around two sides of the triangle The
snort line might be SO jammed with
business that it would have a surplus.
Some of the present congestion has
been caused by the natural inclination
OF shippers who are in hurry to
route their business by the short line,
with TIE result, perhaps, that that line
is overworked. while the long line has
spare capacity. Now the shippers
don't have anything to say about the
route. We can use the short line or
the long line in handling their goods
according to the governing circum-
stances. In dealing with the Pitts
burgh jam, we have been hauling
freight all around Robin Hoods barn
to get it to its ultimate destination.
In such cases the object is not to
economic, but to move the freight in
some way or other.

Reception of Woman's

Sir John Foster Fraser, ex-politician

Now we have million women work

many again taking mems places who
