Comer Slxtesntk and DoujIai Street!. argument that mors economy could have been ecrclsed la th building of these cottages. The House committee on public land and building admits that In Its comprehensive report to the house filed last week. Chairman Caldwell of this committee, Representative Davis of the finance,- ways and mean's committee of the house and Governor Mickey all agree that, while the cottage plan hi far better than the old plan of having a single building for the insane, these particular cottages might have been built for lens money and at the same time have, given satisfaction. But tho State board, under whose direc tion the legislature placed this work. Is not blamed even for this, aince It followed the directions, necessarily, It Is said, of the state architect, Jsmes Tyler, Jr., of whoso Judgment some criticism has been made. The governor. Representatives Davis and Caldwell also agree that a committee from the State board' went east and found from the experiences of the older states the eottage plan for such asylums was highly preferable to the old one-bulldlng plan and waa being generally adopted. Upon the recommendation of this commit tee the contract for the cottages was let to an Indiana man, who, by the way. Is aid to be losing money on the Job. The contracts for the buildings amounted to about $96,000, It Is said, leaving a balance of $4,000. There seems to be no question anywhere of the superiority of the cottage plan over the former one and Representa tive Caldwell and Davis take the position that, while the strict letter of the law calling for the aotuel rebuilding of the wing destroyed by fire was not carried out, the spirit of the law was fulfilled and Nor folk and the state are better off than had the wing been repaired. The maximum capacity of the' three cottages is 160 In mates, almost double that of the old wing. And the Inmates can be far better cared for haw than "before, It Is main tained..' .' ' Coa Id Flad Xo Fraud. "I ' first thought the. state board had grossly violated the law"- when I learned that It had contracted for three cottages and hot rebuilt the old wing," said Repre sentative Davis, but after looking Into the matter from a business standpoint I find this Is not the case and that we are bet ter off as It is.. Bo I cannot see the busi ness In calling for this investigation." v. "I am certain uq. Jlramt.'-was practiced," an ReprtsentaUye Caldwell 'but I think greater economy might; have '.'been prac tlced.

Some criticism was made of the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings when It let a contract to a Minneapolis firm in stead of an Omaha - firm for brick to be used in the Norfolk buildings. The ex planation1 now offered Is that the board called for bids and received no response from the'" Omaha firm, .but did from the Minneapolis firm. It then let the contract to the latter. Then, It is said, the Omaha firm sought to have the board award the contract to the home institution, but the board decided it could not do this as the contract already waa let. .

CUT DOWH THE ARCHITECT'S CLAIM Legislative Committee Think Too Much Help Is Employed. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 13. (Speclal.)-Jame Ty ler, jr., state architect. Is likely to fall short between $2,000 and $3,000 In his claims filed with the claims committee. While no member haa given out a statement of the committee's Intentions, it has come to light that about that much of Mr. Tyler's claims will be lopped off, or at' least not recom mended. The law provides that the state archi tect -shall have 'certain assistants in his oJTtce. During the last biennlum the claim committee finds- he ha employed a stenog rapher, who, by the way, was Ms sister, and an additional draughtsman. . The com mittee also understands the' law does not provide for the employment of, these as sistant and It is the salurius'of these two persons which the committee is said to have decided not to allow. The attorney general haa been asked for an opinion on the subject and given one which doe not Justify Mr.-Tyler in em ploying these additional assistants.' The report of the claims committee 1 not yet complete. ' "Snowbound and cap not arrive," was the laconics message received by Speaker Rouse over the wire this afternoon from Jack son of Antelope, one of the numerous mem ber who failed to reach Lincoln ' because train were tied , up on account of snow. The members of the house and senate finance, way and means committee and other who went to Ames, la., to examine the agricultural college, return much lm piesaed with the institution and th good it is accomplishing. "Does the general enthusiasm inspired by this visit mean the legislature will Increase its appropriations for the Nebraska Agri cultural college?" was asked Representa tive Davis, who was on this jaunt. "Oh, no; I think not," was his reply. "A matter of fact, though," continued Mr. Davis, "we are deriving greater good from our experimental station and wilt derive greater benefit In the future when the state becomes able to Increase the facilities of the college. Nebraska la an agrtculaural state and w must look te the building up of our resource all w can. I know we hsv learned a great deal and our crop have been materially Increased In volume nd Improved In standard because of the clentldo work In this direction that has been done under state supervision, and I want, as soon as the state Is able, to see thia work carried to greater lengths. But just now we are not In a position to enlarge our appropriations." . Senators Epperson and Peterson, the only members of the senate committee to make this trip to Ames, are equally Impressed, but have as yet made no recommendations. Governor Mickey is another who believe ardently In the good that is being and I yet to be accomplished through the agency of Nebraska's agricultural department of the State university, but the governor Is stead fastly opposed to making any greater ap propriations for this purpose this year. "No, air," emphatically ssld the governor, "we should not make any great appropria tions this year. In fact we must go slow on all appropriations until we are out of debt. I am not In favor of the binding twine proposition for just this reason. I think the greatest need of, Nebraska today Is freedom from the Illegal debt of over 12,000,000 that Is resting so heavily upon it. It is going to take us long enough to pay off this debt the best we can do, let alone addlhg to it each biennlum by piling up great big appropriations." Gibson of Douglas county this afternoon Introduced In the senate a number of amendments to the South Omaha charter. These amendment he had been given to understand had been agreed upon by all faction In the packing house city and that no radical change had been provided for. The amendments provide, among other things, that the city attorney shall appoint his assistant and have the power to dis charge him; that paving bonds shall draw 4 per cent Interest Instead of 5, as now. One section of tho new charter make pro visions for the paving of Twenty-fourth street. The cost . shall be paid two-fifths by the city and three-nfths by the property owners. After the council haa ordered the pnvlng a remonstrance signed by 25 per cent of the property owners will Invalidate the ordinance.

LINCOLN DAY AT NEW YIRK President BooMTelt it Qaeit of Bepublioan Club at Annual Banquet HE SPEAKS ON THE RACE PROBLEM Chief Exeeatlve Rays Forward Race Mast Aid Other to Become Fit for Possession of Trn Freedom. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. As the guest of honor at the Lincoln dinner of the Repub lican club in this city tonight President Roosevelt made a speech on the race prob lem. He appealed to the north to make Its friendship to the south all the greater beciuse of the "embaraasment of conditions for which she Is not alone responsible," declared thnt the heartiest acknowledg ments are due to the ministers, law offi cers, grand Juries, public men and "great dally newspapers in the south who have recently done such effective work In lead ing the crusade against lynchlngs," and said that the problem was to so adjus. the relations between two races of different ethic type that' the backward race be trained so that It may enter Into the pos session of the freedom, while the forward race Is enabled to preserve unharmed the high civilisation brought out by Its fore fathers." Following the president, Senator Dolllver of Iowa responded to the toast, "Abraham Lincoln;" Mr. George A. Knight of Cali fornia spoke on "The Republican Party," and James M. Beck, former asslstsnt at torney general of the United tSates, on "The Unity of the Republic. Decorations Are Klaboritte. The dinner was held in the main banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria, and In the number of guests and elaborateness of d co ration is believed to have exceeded any function of its character ever held In New York. The guests numbered more than 1.300 and not only crowded the main banquet hall by the Astor gallery, the Myrtle room and even the, foyer on the second floor, the whole of which was used. Among the guests were 276 women who dined In the Astor gallery. I In the main banquet hall the galleries were almost entirely hidden by forsythla and laurel and the tables were laden with Sunset, La France, General Jacqueminot and American Beauty roses. On the walls were festoons of American flags and the coat of arms of the states. Back of the speaker's table was a large oil painting ot Lincoln, draped with American flags and surmounted In electric lights with the famous motto, "With malice toward none, with charity for all." Many Dlstlnsjrnlshed Guests. In the distinguished company attending the banquet were men prominent in all the higher walks of life. Among those who sat at the president's table were: Sec retary of War Taft, Elihu Root, Whitelaw Reld, B. B. Odell, Jr., Senator J. P. Dol llver, Joseph B. Bishop, Dr. John Huston Flnley, president of the College of the City of New York; Oscar Straus, Bishop Fowler, Lieutenant Governor M.

McCracken, chancellor of New York university; William, Halpln and Rev. Dr. Silverman. . : ' " The president was Introduced by Louis Stern, president - of the Republican club, in a brief - speech. He referred, to him as having earned the right "by the quality of his administration," to be called the successor of Abraham Lincoln. The state ment evoked a demonstration lasting many moments. There wa prolonged handclup plng and the women In the gallery waved their handkerchiefs. A mention of Mr. McKlnley also caused a demonstration. As President Roosevelt rose to reply the banqueters In the adjoining rooms crowded Into the main hall and gallery until every inch of space was occupied. Bowing to Mr. Stern and then to the women In the gallery, the president said: The President's Address. In his second inaugural, in a speech which will be read as long as the memory of this nation endures. Abraham Lincoln closed bv saying: vvun mance toward none, with cnanty for ail; with firmness In the right, aa God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are In; to do all which may achieve and cherish a Just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." Immediately after his re-election he had already spoken thus: "Tlie strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts of the casa What has occurred In this case must ever recur In sllmlur cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let va, therefore, study the lrtrl aents of this as philosophy to learn wis dom from, and none of them aa wrongs to be revenged. May not all having a common interest reunite In a common ef fort to (serve) our common country? For my own part, i have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle In the way. So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn In any man's bosom. While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment ot a re-election, and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, It add nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result. "May I ask those who have not differed with me to Join with me In this same spirit toward those who have?" This is the spirit In which mighty Lin coln sought to bind up the nation's wounds when Its soul waa yet seething with llerce hatreds, with wrath, with rancor, with all the evil and dreadful pasalons provoked by civil war. Surely this Is the spirit which all Americans should Bhow now, when there Is so little excuse for malice or rancor or hatred, when there is so little of vital con sequence to divide brother from brother. Righteousness More Than Peace. Lincoln, himself a man of southern birth, did not hesitate to appeal to the sword when he became satisfied that In no other way could the union be saved, for high though he put peaoe, he put righteousness still higher. He warred tor the union; he warred to free the slave; and when he warred, he warred in earnest, for it Is a sign of weakness to be hslf-hearted when blows must be struck. But he felt only love, a love as deep as the tenderness of his great and iad heurt, for all his country men alike In the north and In the south, and he longed above everything for the day when they ehould once more be knit lo- f ether In the unbreakable bonds of eternal riendshlp. .... We of today, in dealing with all our fel low citizens, white or colored, north or south, should strive to show Just the quali ties that Lincoln showed: his steadfastness in striving after the right and his Infinite, patience and forbearance with those who saw that right less clearly than he did; his earnest endeavor to do what was best, and yet his readiness to accept the best that was practicable when the Ideal best was unattainable; his unceasing effort to cur what was evil, coupled with his refusal to make a bad situation worse by any ill judged or Ill-timed effort to make It better. Tne great civil war In which Lincoln tow ered as the loftiest figure left us not only a reunited country, but a country which haa the proud right to claim aa Its own the glory won alias by those who wore the blue and by those who wore the gray, by those fniinwit ilrani and bv those who fol lowed L; for both fought with equal bravery and with equal sincerity of convic tion, each striving for the light as it was given him to see the light; though it is now clear to all that the triumph ot the cause of freedom and ot the union waa essential to th welfare of mankind. We are now one people, a people with fallings which we must not blink, but a people with great dualities In which we have the right to teel just pride. Problem of th Races. All good Americans who dwell in the north must, because they are good Amer ican, feel the most earnest friendship for their fellow countrymen who tlwvll in the south, a frlendsMp'all the greater b It Is in the south that we flno In Its becsuse s most Scute nhsse on nf lh gravest nroblems before our peopl; the problem of so dealing with the man cf one color as to secure him the rights thst no one wouldgrmlge him If he were of another color. To solve this problem It Is, of course, necessary to edu cate him to perform the duties, a failure to perform which will render him a curse to himself and to all around him. Most certainly all clar-slghted and gen erous men In the north appreciate the dirtl culty and perplexity of this problem, sym pathise wltb the south In the embarrass ment of conditions for which It Is not slone responsible, feel an honest wish to help It where help is piactlcahle, and have the heartiest respect for those brave and earnest men of the south who. In the face of fearful difficulties, are doing all that men can do for tho betterment alike of white and of black. The attitude of the north toward the negro Is far from what It should be and there Is need that the north also should act In good faith upon the principle of giving to each man what Is justly due him, of treating him on his worth as a man, granting him no special favors, but denying him no proper oppor tunity for labor and the reward of labor. But the peculiar circumstances of the south render the problem there far greater and far more acute. Fair and Equal Justice. Neither I nor any other man can ssy that any given ay of arproachlng that problem will present In our time even an approximately perfect solution, but we can safely say that there can never be such solution at all unless wo approach It wtt'.i the effort to do fair and equal Justice among all men, and to demand from them in return, Juet and fair treatment for others. Our effort should be to secure to each man, whatever his color, equality ot opportunity, equality of treatment before the law. As a people striving to shape our actions In accordance with the great law of righteousness, we can not afford to take part In or be Indifferent to the oppression or maltreatment of any man who, against crushing dlsHrivantnges, has by his own In dustry, energy, sell-respect and persever ance struggled upward to a position which would entitle him to the respect of his fellows, it only his skin were of a dif ferent hue. Every generous Impulse In us revolts at the thought of thrusting down instead of helping up such a man. To deny any man the fair treatment granted to others no better than he, Is to commit a wrong upon him a wrong sure to react in the long run upon those guilty of such denial. The only safe principle upon which Americans can act is that of "all men up," not that of "some men down." If In any commun ity the level of Intelligence, morality and thrift among the colored men can be raised, it Is, humanely speaking, sure that the same level among tho whites will be raised to an even higher degree; and It Is no less sure that the debasement of the blacks will In the end carry with It an at tendant debasement of the whites. Training of Backward Race. The problem is so to adjust the relations between two races of different ethnic type that the rights of neither be abridged nor Jeoparded; that the backward race be trained so that It may enter Into the pos session of true freedom, while the forward race Is enabled to preserve unharmed the high civilization wrought out by its fore fathers. The working out of this problem must necessarily be slow; It Is not possl bla In offhand fashion to obtain or to con fer the priceless boons of freedom, indus trial efficiency, political capacity and do mestic morality. Nor Is it only necessary to train the colored man; It Is quite as necesmry to train the white man, for on his shoulders rests a well nigh unparalleled sociological responsibility. It is a problem demanding the best thought, the utmost patience, tho most earnest effort, the broadest charity, of the statesman, the student, the phllunthfoplst; of the leaders of thought In every department of our na tional life. The church can be a most im portant factor in solving It aright. But above all else, we need for Its successful solution the sober, kindly, steadfast, un Delflsh performance of duty by the average plain cltixen In his everyday dealings with his fellows. Two Elements In Problem. The Ideal of elemental Justice meted out to every man is the Ideal we should keep ever before u It will be many a long day before we attain to it, and unless we show not only devotion to it, but also wisdom and self -restraint in the exhibition of that devotion, we shall deter tho time for its realisation, still further. In striving to at tain to so much of It as concerns dealing with men of different colors, .we must re member two things. In the first place, it is true of the colored man, as it Is true of the white man, thai in the long run his fata must depend lar more upori his own effort than upon the efforts of any outside friend. Bvery vicious, venal or Ignorant colored man Is an even greater foe to his own race than Jo the community as a whole. The colored man s self-respect entitles him to do that share in the political work of the country which Is warranted by his individual ability and in tegrity and the position he has won for himself. But the orlme requisite of the race Is moral and Industrial uplifting. Laxiness and shlftlessness, these, end above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put together. The colored man who falls to condemn crime in another col ored man, who falls to co-operate In all lawful ways In bringing colored criminals to Justice, is the worst enemy of his own people, as well as an enemy to all the peo ple. Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremoBt In relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and Industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race, then Its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home is vital to the welfare of the black race, as It Is to the welfare of every race. In the next plsce the white man, who, If only he is willing, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together Is tlie white man- who Is his neighbor, north or south. Ench of us must do his whole duty without flinching, and If that duty Is national it must be done In accordance with the principles above laid down. But In endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it Is wise to remember that each can normally do most for the brother who Is his Immediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends of the negro let us each In his own locality show It by his action therein, and let us each show It also bv upholding the hands of the white man. In whatever locality, who la striving to do Justice to the poor and the helpless, to be a shield to the poor whose need, for such a shield Is great. Crnsnde Against Lynching;. The heartiest acknowledgments are due to the ministers, the Judges and law ofH cersy the grand juries, the public men snd the great dally newspapers In the south, who nave recently done such effective work in leading the crusade against lynching In the south; and I am glad to say that during the last three months the returns, ns fur as they can be gathered, show a amallur number of lynchlngs than for any other two months during the last twenty year. Let us uphold In every way the hands 'of the men who have led In this work, who are striving to do all their work In this spirit. I am speaking on ths occasion of the celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, and to men who count It their peculinr prlvllega that they have the right to hold IJncoin'o memory dear, and .lie duty to strive to work along the lines that he laid down. We can pay most fitting homage to his memory by doing the tasks allotted to us In the spirit In which he did the Infinitely greater and more terrible tasks allotted to him. The southern states face difficult prob lems, and so do the northern states. Some of the problems are the same for the en tire country. Others exist In greater In tensity in one section, and yet others exist In greater Intensity In another section. But If you had to live on a single food you could not find a better one than Ghir ardelli's Ground Chocolate. It is the most appetizing combination of nutriment and flavor ever known. Peliciou for cakes and pastry. In the end they will all be solved, for funda mentally our people are the same through out this land; the same In the qualities of heart and brain and hand which havn made this repuhllo what it Is In the great today; which will make It what It Is ti lie In the Infinitely greater tomorrow. I sdmire and respect and lelleve in and have faith In the men and women ot tne smitu ss I admire and respect and believe I and have faith In the men and women of the north. All of us alike, northerners and southerners, istemer and westerners, can tesl prove our renltv to tne nation s phsi by the. wnv In which w do the nation's work In the present, for only, thus can we be sure that our children's children shsll Inherit Abraham Lincoln's single hearted devotion to the great unchanging creed that "righteousness exaltelh a na tion."
