SPRINGFIELD, IIU Feb. 12.—UnitedStates Senator Dubois of Idaho was theprincipal orator to-night at the annualbanquet of the Sangamon Club, given inhonor of Lincoln's birthday. His addresswas largely given to stories reminiscentof Lincoln's life InSpringfield. In closinghe declared that while Lincoln discussedother questions, he never got away fromthe slavery question.

Lincoln, with one stroke of his pen. de-clared the speaker, wiped out slavery, butpolygamy still exists. The Mormons inthis twentieth century, he added, practicepolygamy openly and nave become a tre-mendous political power In our country.He declared polygamy was the greatestmenace to-day to American civilization.He asserted that one could not any moredisassociate Apostle Reed Smoot frompolygamy than one could dissociate * aslave owner from slavery. He thoughtthat President Roosevelt stood for high

ideals and that he aimed at what Wash-ington and Lincoln worked for, "the bet-terment of mankind everywhere.**

Letter of President ReadinWliicliHe Says Leaders,Not Bosses, Are Wanted

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 12.—Thefourteenth anual. banquet of the Lin-coln and Young Men's- Republican clubsheld to-night ;was a brilliant' event; both-in attendance • and in the \u25a0' character ofthe speakers. The banquet was spread inthe .Auditorium, wKh •1500 people,, occupy-ing places at the tabies.

Congressman William Ald«n Smith wastoastmaster, and the speakers, were: Post-master General Cortelyou, Minister Coreaof Embassador Nabuco ofBrazil, .Minister Walker Martinez ,ofChile, Minister de Quesada of Cuba andCongressman J.;Adam Bede of.Minnesota.Congressman Smith read a greeting, fromPresident Roosevelt which was enthusias.-tically.cheered. The point- most heartily,cheered was the assertion that theAmerican public wanted leaders, not

bosses.Embassador Nabuco took for his topic

"Lincoln's World Influence." He said inpart: , "

/ *J'/;A far-reaching effect of Lincoln's own per-

sonality ls the magic of his name for.all whohave had or who still have to fight anywhereagainst slavery. Ican give testimony to thatinspiration for the Brazilian abolitionists andmy • friend the Minister of Cuba :although heonly knows it by tradition, can give, the sametestimony for the Spanish and Hlspano-Amerl-can abolitionists. Brazil and Cuba owe espe-cially to Lincoln that a new great power wasnot created in North America forty years ago,having African slavery for;its fighting spiritand as the principle of its national expansion.

Postmaster' General '.Cortelyou, whospoke on "Lincoln's Influence on Ameri-can Public Life," began his address witha graceful tribute to the memory of Mc-Klnley. He then said in part:

, SPEECH OF CORTELYOU.What an illustration his life:affords of the'

truths that fearly privations need be no bar toultimate success; -that obstacles • overcome arethe greatest of educators; that integrity andhonor and fair dealing are " living facors inevery real -triumph in every abiding fame; thatfaith in the people and devotion to their In-terests are essentials to lasting honor in•pub-lic life. •" > . :

For ths greater part of th» past three-quar-ters of a century Lincoln's Influence on Ameri-can public life has been reit In,ever Increas-ing measure. It,was reflected in his contem-poraries and those who have followed him inthe'Presidency make no concealment of their

lasting obligation .to him.iln government of- the people, by the people

and for;the people rests our salvation.' Dan-gers '\u25a0 beset us.on every hand when we strayaway from that Ideal. > Every condition" thatdisturbs us can be tested by It.\u25a0

The founders -of the republic builded wiselywhen they created as co-ordinate branches ofgovernment the legislative, the executive andthe Judicial. They have stood the test for years.But we need a stricter adherence to the boun-daries between them so that one shall not en-croach'upon another. 'We must approach everypublic question with a., determination to befair and just in its discussion. Reforms to bepractical. must, be reasonable. They must be-gin among the people. The ballot is their safe-guard "and through it they

'can ''ultimately

reach every' offender." :.»**»«»iis«io .j^v \u25a0»• There is no" -tv-arrant. for wholesale denuncia-tion of officials. The people must not forgetthat they themselves are largely responsible Ifimproper men reach positions in the publicservice, and too frequently the sternest criticis the one- who gives the least attention

'to his

civic duties.-In the main, government is hon-

estly administered. .It is the legislator that isusually, the legitimate subject of criticism, notthe -legislature; and the Judiciary weak as Itvmay be in some instances, has but its propor-tloiv of the unworthy. - • :.-*.."z;.. .

DANGEROUS {JOURNALISM.Cortelyou declared •that the day of the

boss in American politics is on'the wane,

expressed his belief in rewarding partyservice and of opening. the door of oppor-tunity,to every worthy aspirant for publicstation and said:: /'"--./.

Our political campaigns must . be conductedupon the high plane of principle, in which thefullest discussion of policies shall be encour-aged,, but •in which misrepresentation andabuse of opponents shall have no part.

\u25a0 Hateful as the domination of the boss hasbecome, there is a tyranny that is worse thanthat of any boss

—the. tyranny of an irrespon-

sible clamor to which. weak > men become ;par-ties and *public

'officials at tlm&i yield their

conscience and judgment. '. Nothing strikes adeadlier blow .at liberty than the insidiousappeal made in her .name in times. of publicexcitement.- Every convicted violator of herImmutable principles should be scourged to hisjust punishment, but half a case Is no case inher. tribunals. . ,

The Postmaster General declared theremust be liberty of the press everywhereand always, but this liberty, he said, af-fords no warrant for hasty; generaliza-tions of•unworthy attacks upon interestsor"individuals. He continued: ;'

Of late years there has developed a style ofJournalism, happily,as yet limited in its scopewhose teachings are a curse, and whose influ-ence is :a blight upon the land.. Pandering tounholy, passions, making the commonplace toappear sensational; fanning the fires of sec-tionalism and class hatred, invading the

'pri-

vacy of our. firesides, it presents one of themost Important of our problems. TheseJournals of-malign .influence must, not be re-garded as fit \u25a0. examples \u25a0of

Grand Army of the Republic at many ofthe schools was a feature of yesterday'sexercises. They spent half an hour ormore talking entertainingly to the pupilsand telling of exciting personal experi-ences at the front In this vr*y the chil-dren, especially the littler ones, were Im-pressed with the spirit of patriotism in away that, no set speeches could havegiven them.

The programmes of the different schoolsvaried little In their general character.Everywhere sketches of Lincoln's lifewere read, his character was presentedas a model one for the youth of our landto-day to adopt, tales of the Civil Warwere told and. lessons drawn from them.Singing and recitations were given every-where and flag drills and dialogues re-lieved them from' becoming monotonous.In some schools the teachers led the pa-triotic singing, in others a pupil whosevoice was adapted to leadership. i—n-

Comrade Henry T. Smith read Lin-coln's Gettysburg address and wasl fol-lowed by the singing of the "BattleHymn of the Republic."

HON\ THOMAS FITCH SPEAKS.The principal speaker of the evening

was Hon. Thomas Fitch. He was en-thusiastically received and bis wordsbttrnejk^th/.p_atx,jotto expression. He toldof the early life of Lincoln and of

'his

Etruggies" to gain an education. He toldof his election to the Presidency afteron» of the most remarkable political

fights Ins the history, of ihe United States."Abraham Lincoln *tlll-lives," he cried.•'He ever watches over -the people whomhe loved, and guided and served while onearth as never before \u25a0were a people -lovedfind guided and served by mortal man."

Fitch spoke in part as follows: :,:,~ '?*'-•What a nation It is that has grown out of

the one over whose destinies Abraham Lincolnpresided. To-day. Its fortresses guard the sea.ports of a hemisphere. Its boundaries extend•westward to Orient Isles, southward to

'the

Caribbean Sea and northward to where theFullen cuq hangs for but an hour on the vergeof the polar night, a faint reminder of thelost southern clime, while th« booming artillerycf the Ice king halls the flag of five and forty,i-r.ieooa to be eeven and fortystars. The blackcavalry of Its commerce* thunders daily andr.lgbtly along six transcontinental: highways,-and •its ehipe attend upon the hour when 1 the£eep «ea shall flow through the rift that willtransform the continent of South America Intoas island. The din of factories and the roarOf furnaces make Its days musical with thef-'zxg of well-paid and contented toilers, whosebread 'ls unsalted with the tears of slavery-lt£ credit reigns at the head of the world'sfinances. The greatest powers of Europe andAsia (>eck the favor of its friendship, and Itsjocrest and most unlettered citizens are equalbefore the law with Its scholars and million-tires. (Applause.)

Shall not this day of our mighty materialprosperity be succeeded or rather allied withanother day such as ruled when Lincoln wason earth ? In his day Plutus had not pushedJupiter from his throne, nor placed a police-s-.an's club In the hand of Mars, nor purchasedthe «at of Minerva In the council chamber.r.or snatched the bandage from thf eyes \u25a0ofJustice end fastened false weights upon her•cales. Inhis day graft ruled not and corrup-tion defiled not the legislative hall. In hisd&j- greed was not a virtue and the nobler pas-clone cf patriotism and unselfish devotion toduty inspired men to action.

God epeed the time when another, such day•hall dawn; when men shall be esteemed notfor v.hat they have»_but for what they are;when no man and no body of men chall gainpower or pelf by wresting from other mentheir rights; when lawe shall be made by allof the people for all of the peopl«, and not bjrthose who eaiole or deceive or Intimidate thevoters; and when wealth that Is unearned andur.inhf-rit'd. and place that is gained by briberyan<J trickery, fhall bring to its po»se«or theobloquy rather than the real or simulated es-teem of hi* fellows. -(Great applause.)

Tliat fuoh a day will come and come speed-ily to this 'and. let no man doubt

"who be-

]i«-v*s in divine Justice and in the eternal andInexorable law of compensations. ' •

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.—The twentiethannual Lincoln dinner of the Republican

Club:of New York was held to-night atthe Waldorf-Astoria. The' 420 men pres-ent were seated in the grand

'ballroom

and the more than one hundred womenwere served in the Astor gallery andlater heard the speeches from the boxes.The toasts Included r "Abraham Lincoln,"General Horace Porter:

'"The RepublicanParty," Representative J. S. Fas3ett;''Shall the United States Make Its OwnLaws?" Representative James T. Mc-Cleary of Minnesota. ..That the United States need not lowerthe tariff onproducts now Imported from

\u25a0Germany for'fear'that our'"export trade

to that" country would be" ruined If*

sucha tariff reduction be not \u25a0 made was* thecontention 'of McCleary.-' • ' 'hy^'J-.,

"Ten thousand circulars," the speakersaid, "are being ''sent out from Chicagoevery day"by an"organization whose ob-ject is to *stir "up the American farmersagainst our. present

'tariff law. One of

the cries of this organization is 'Germany,bur second "best "customer, will be lost tous ifwe.do not.make concessions _ to her.'During the., fiscal year, 1905 \ we. sold toGermany "goods Ito"^the, value' of $212,636,-329." .

'

,,'. "*.•~ ... '

To show that this market would not beentlro*y lost ikicCleary said that Americanproducts to the value of $120,000,000. whichwere exported to Germany last year, willremain on the free ,list of the new Ger-man tariff law. Cotton is among theseproducts. Another

'line of articles,

amounting to 120,000,000 of our total Ger-man exports, he said, would pay onlyone- rate of duty under the new law, giv-ing American

'exporters an equal com-

petitive opportunity with foreign nationsfor this $20,000,000 = worth of commerce.

"Inasmuch ;as this Chicago organiza-tion.", continued > McCleary, "is directingits energies . toward trying to

'make our

farmers of the Middle West feel that theyare going to suffer greatly if we do not'do something ', for Germany,', itmay notbe amiss to state that our total sales ofwheat to Germany- in,1905 amounted toonly $2,200,452 and of wheat flour to only$361,217 iand .of all other, breadstuffs ex-cept corn to,only $1,554,507, or $4,468,196 inall; about our domestic sales of a single!day. . Of •corn we sold Germany $7,000,000to • $12,000,000 worts a year ago. This lsonly about 1per cent of our crop and ifwe lost it, we would scarcely know of theloss \u25a0 without being told.

'.'Aside from-something less than $15.-

000,000 worth of lard which they cannotwell get anywhere else. \u25a0 Germany tookonly $1,877,405 wort" of meat from us lastyear," continued McCleary.

He concluded by saying that ,If theUnited States could sell Germany all the

McClcary Believes Tariff Danger IsOnlya Bugaboo.

NO FEAR OP GERMANY.
