shoes which ruin carpets. A tar font
on the soles of the shoes. In son :
western cities sawdust is put over tt
oil and absorbs much of the greas
but even then people must be carefi
because of the danger of ruination 1
household goods , "
Everett is a much larger city th i
Norfolk. Many miles of paved stree
are among Everett's public iinprov

Everett consider the oiled streets
public nuisance. Mr. Rees declan
that Norfolk should hesitate befo :
taking a step which other cities ha1
already found to be a mistake.

afternoon's program was featured will :
a lecture by Dr. N. M. Waters , pastoi
of the Tompklns"Avenue Congrega
tlonnl church of New York City , tin
largest church of this denomination ii :
the world.
"Daniel Webster" was D. Waters
subject and the life of that great mar
was thoroughly described by Mr. Wa
ters. Much of the time after the civl !
war was gone over by the speaker
and Daniel Webster got credit for the
doing and undoing of the days of war
The civil war , he declared , was the
result of the teachings of two grcai
men , Webster and Calhoun. While
Webster taught the young man of the
north to say "I am an American , " Cal
houn taught the young man of the
south to say , " 1 nm a Kentuckian or :
am a North Carolinian. "
"It is the speaking voice that rulei
the \vorld , " declared Dr. Waters , "am
it is the speaking voice that alwayi
will rule it. "
A pathetic word picture was madi
by Dr. Waters of the decorations o
the graves of the dead soldiers , tei
years after the war. Decoration da ;
then , he said , was not celebrated llk <
it is now. There were no picnics. Tin
graves were decorated with the Hewers
ers grown in the gardens of the homes
The decorating was quiet and then
was much praying. The music wai
ic national hymn and often the hlgl
all was scaled and the graves there
oo , were decorated , while the bam
layed "Dixie. "
"After the war , the world may havi
aid thnt Daniel Webster had con
uered , " said Dr. Waters. "Webster'
ooks had been almost a bible to th <
lountalneers of the south.1'
"Tho difference between prosperlt
ml panic is only that when there i
, panic it's hard to get Into debt nni
here are hard times ; when it's eas ,
o get money , all get Into debt am
here is prosperity.
"The time is coming when thor
vill be no use for the man who get
nto debt. I would not have a deaco
n my church who would not pay hi
illls , or if I was a deacon , I would no
ave a pastor who would not pay hi
ills.
"There are no failures except morn
allures. No matter what the failur
s that comes , there is always som
siml of a moral failure behind it. "
The country was saved in 1850 d <
lared Mr. Waters , by a compromise
Only t.wo men then knew of the dar
loud of war then hanging over th
ountry. Daniel Webster was one c
hose men. Webster threw out all hi
nlluence and saved the nation. Phi
Ips and Horace Beecher were wroni
inel when Lincoln saved the countr
) ii Webster's platform , his patienc
aved a number of the southern state
o the union.
