LINCOLN. Feb. Special.) The nine
teenth annual banquet of the Toung Men's
Republican club, given in commemoration
of the birthday of President IJncoln. was
held at the Lincoln hotel tonight, among
the jno guests being many from the neigh
boring towns, as well a all of the state
officers. A noticeable feature of the aroth
ering wss the unsnimous endorsement of
the polerles of the present republican ad
ministration: the unanimous decision that
the work of reform must be continued and
the optomistic view of the future as ex
pressed by the speakers. The same sentl
ment was expressed by a speaker from
Kansas, who is one of the leaders in the
fight In his state to place the government
in the hands of the people and keep It
there; by a state senstor from Nebraska,
who voted last winter as he talked to
night: by a student of the State university.
speaking for the student body, and by
former district Judge, now a high private
with a record of fighting for reform legis
lation.
Previous to the banquet a reception was
held in the corridor of the Lincoln hotel,
at which all of the state officers were
present and assisted the officers of the
local club in meeting the visitors. Among
those out of town were William Hayward
of Nebraska City, chairman of the repub
lican state committee; H. L. Jones of
Seward, Jesse L. Root, supreme court com
mlssloner from Plattsmouth: B. E. Hend
rockc of Wahoo. Victor Rosewater of
Omaha. A. C. Epperson, supreme court
commissioner from Clay Center; Jacob
Fswcctt, supreme court commissioner of
Omaha: Dr. J. Killen. representative of
Adams: Adna McMullen. representative of
Wymore, and over 10 others.
The speakers and their subjects were:
A. W. Field. Lincoln. 'Progresajve Re
publicsnism:" R. I. Elliott. State university,
"The Ideal Politician:" C. H. Aldrich,
David City. "Lincoln, the Man;' F. Dumont
Smith. Kinsley, Kan., "The Outlook in
Kansas." Jude George H. Risser, presi
dent of the club, was the toastmaster.
Proarreaaive Repablicaalssn.
Judge Field said. In part: -
The New York World, in speaking of a
great democratic lesder. quotes from the
book ot Samuel as follows:
"And everyone that was in distress, and
eveiyone that was in debt, and everyone
that was discontented, gathered themselves
unto him; and he became a captain over
them; and there were with him about
men."
Such a characterisation was never writ
ten of a republican leader. Our party ap
peals to the highest hopes and noble in
sp1rati6na of the best people on earth. It
stands politically for the highest civilisa
tion yet attained. It believes In a better,
brighter political future, and with a sub
llmo faith works for its realization.
After telling of the achievements of the
party in the past. Judge Field discussed Its
future issues as follows: '
While the country has grown and devel
oped in fifty years of republican control,
new problems and new questions have
arisen, and will arise. No party can live
upon its past, however, glorious. What
about present Issues?
It Is with pride that the party points to
Its leader as the embodiment of what we
all mean when talking of progressive re
publican Ideas.
we mean tne national control or rail
roads, the fixing of rates upon a reason
able basis, and upon terms of equality as
between every shipper and every locality.
We mean railroad commissions, with
power to fix and regulate rates, with power
to afford speedy relief in cases of discrim
ination as to individuals or communities:
commissions, both state and federal, easy
of access, with practice both plain and
simple. In fact, such commissions as the
republican party has given us, with the
further assurance that if the present laws
sre not sufficient to efii-ct the desired pur
pose, others will be added.
We mean the enforcement of the anti
trust laws, enacted by republicans, prohib
iting trusts controlling and mopoliilng the
product of the country.
Progressive republicanism means the
prosecution and punishment of violation
of law by rich individuals and great cor
porations, ss is now being carried on by
the republican administration.
The Ideal Polltlclasi.
R. I. Elliott1 of the Vnlversity of Ne
braska spoke on the "Ideal Politician."
saying in part:
At this time the world needed thinkers
more than it ever did In Its history. Prob
lems of more gravity than have ever b.ven
solved are yet to be solved. Some there
ar who believed the evil would be routed
out of the government by war, but those
who believed such were In the minority.
He is now being harshly criticixed by
thoe who would check him n this great
movement for reform, by the stock g-amler.
by the rebater, by all those who wish to
continue to acquire wealth dishonestly and
unlawfully. Some have gone so far as to
attack his character as a last resort to
destroy Ms Influence In this righteous
cause, but with all the criticism he strives
more and more to bring nearer the day
when greed nad corruption may be removed
from the body politic. ,
LI weal a the Maa.
Senator C. H. Aldrich of Butler county
delivered the main speech of the evening
on "Lincoln, the Man." Speaking espe
cially to the young: men present, he said:
It Is hut natural that youth, with all of
Its buoyancy, its hopea and its aspirations,
its strength and throbbing energies, should
rally around the banner of republicanism.
For youth worships at the shrine of valor
ous deeds. Youth is ever listening to the
command. 'Forward' March. And that
Is the only command a republican leader
ever gave, from Abraham Uncoln down to
and Including the aggressive, tearless amf
honest Theodore. Roosevelt. And the celer
ity of republican advancement accounts for
tne tact that democracy, a sluggish body
must ever be satisfied to pitch its tent
in the self-same spot where republicanism
has broken camp snd marcned on
Lincoln had a masterful mind, poised and
balanced to a nicety. With the reasoning

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect

system for the same cleansing purpose.
Chsrcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of It the better; it la not a drug at
all but simply absorb the gassea and Im
purities always present In the stomach
and Intestine and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok

other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clear and Im
proves the complexion, it wnitens tne
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently afe cathartic
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowel; It dis

poison of catarrh.
Ail druggists sell charcoal In one form

canic eruptions, whose nrotives would seem
to be actuated by hatred and deep-seated
prejudice.
In pressing his arguments in debate with
Douglas he never went to extremes and
never urged anything beyond the constitu
tional limit, and in fact in all of his
speeches. Including his famous Cooper
I'nlon Institute oration, you would find
no emotional rhetoric or withering sar
casm or painful denunciation, but rather
an Icy flow of logic that convinces and
overwhelms. His speeches during these
times men, always a masterly analysis of
the relations of political parties and deeply
Impressed" the country thai slavery was
wrong and must perish.
But there is another side to the char
acter of this man that you hear but little
of. and yet it is one of its most important
elements, and that is his religious convictions.
Read the story of his life from Its early
beginning until at about the time of the
darkest hours of the civil war and you will
find no suggestion that he has any religion,
or if he has you don't know what it is.
One historiographer says that he was a
disciple of Payne and Voltaire, but that he
was discreet enougti never to disclose ii.
Our theory is that Lincoln was a devout
and humble believer in tne divinity oi
Christ and his saving grace. It is true that
in his earlier speeches and In all his great
debates there Is no manifestation of relig
ious or nonconvictlon. This we think is
attributable to his conscious feeling of
power and strength and being great enough
within htmselt to master an qiiiicuiu.
But behold him in--Me aecond Inaugural
address, when cloud and alorms and dis
aster had overwhelmed there was
a funeral In more than a million homes In
the north. Then ' Uncoln' lsrned. If not
before, thst there is an occasion, there Is
an hour In the life time of the most mighty
that his strength is but as a broken reed,
and when his heart was torn by anguish
and sorrow he leaned not upon man. for he
utters these remarkable words. "Fondly do
we hope, fervently do we pary. that this
mlghtly scourge of war may soon pass
away. Yet If God wills that It continue
until all the wealth piled up by the bonds
man's two hundred and fifty years of un
requited toil shall be sunk and until every
drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be
paid by another drawn by the sword, as

it must be said. 'The judgments of the Lord !
are true and righteous altogether. Ui
quent words are these, more beautiful snd
lofty sentiments are nowhere to be found
in the English language.
Such then, very briefly,. Is Lincoln the
man. a product of the masses, the flower
of American citixenshlp. But he is not
the only one of the immortals of which
republicans can boast. For Juct as typical
of the Intensity of American life are the
great republican statesmen, the niartvrcd
Garfield and Willium McKinUy. each a
model man and an immortal statesman.
These men are truly representative speci
mens of representative government prod
ucts of American liberty.
Senator Aldrich closed with w prediction
that either Secretary Taft or Senator I .a
Follette would be the next president of the
IL'nited States, either of whom, he said,
waa fitted for the position.
The Owtlook lat Kaasas.
F. Dumont Smith of Kansas, a member
of the state senate, whose reputation as an
orator preceded him, spoke on, the "Out
look In Kansas,' and his message, waa op
tomistic. He compared the history of the
sister states, Nebraska and Kansas, speak
ing of the rise of both through th same
calamities, and said:
We recovered our political health st al
most the same moment and we in Kansas
rejected your "Peerless Boy Orator" in al
most the same hour that left him a leader
without followers, a commander without an
army in his own state.
His speech was devoted largely to the
passing of the political boss, by reason of
the enactment of the primary law. Jle com
pared the political boas to the old feudal
lords, who reaped the benefits of the work
of the people, who bad no voice in the
government of the land. He concluded a
follow:
power and the force of logic of
Webster he -ombined the fervid eloquence
of a Henry Clay, and all this waa blended

and scope that Daniel Webster exhibited In
his reply to Hayne. or In his debates on

And In this connection we should remem
ber that Lincoln at ri years of age was
living on the lonely banks of the Sangamon
river. In wretched poverty, splitting rails
for a living, never inside of a school house
a day In his life. There was no white set
tler within miles of his lonely cabin. The
men of that locality were uncouth, illiterate
and ur&nk whu-ky to excess.
I Jncoln s mind was a strange and mys

trict court today overruled the demurrer
filed by the state to the petition of R B.
Howell of the Soldiers' and Sailors' home,
restraining the state board from Interfer
ing In any way with the pensions of the
members of the twohomes In this state.
In the absence of any representative of
the state board, an exception was filed
for them, both Judges further concurring,
and It was 'indicated that time would be
given them to Indicate If they desired to

preventing the state board from carrying
out the order to take part of the pension
monies of all receiving" over $11 per month
and also restraining the commandants of
the Grand Island and Mllford homes from
interfering In any way wlrli the members
thereof, owing to noncompliance with the
enjoined rule. It Is expected, as was an
nounced from Lincoln today, that the
state board will Immediately appeal the
case from the district to the supreme
court.
Judge Paul commented upon the different
modifications of the Nebraska act and
for the establishment, maintenance and
government of the home. It had first
placed the power of passing upon applica
tions nd membership in a visiting and
examining board; it later changed it and
placed it In the hands of the county com
missioners of each county. That disposed
of one question - The act provided that the
state maintain a home. H made appro'
prlatlon therefor. It d!d not provide for
the appropriation of monies therefor In any
other way than through the legislature.
Judge Paul also held that" the Intention of
the legislature was clearly Inimical to surh
power, for a moral obligation was admitted
by the public generally as going out to
the veteran soldiers. Society, generally
acknowledged this obligation to the men
who had given three or four of their bert
years years in which, ordinarily, men
educate themselves for the battle of life,
ot become established in business for the
common benefit, as I demonstrated by
the pension acts, and It was not the Inten
tion of the legislature of .this state to ap
propriate any part of this money.
