BUT THREE BILLS PASSED Minor Measures, Ten Minutes’ Real Work, Only Accomplishments of Much Talk and Partisan Fight. District day in the House yesterday was dissipated In just about the usual way. Time was allowed “for Tom, Dick and Harry to make all sorts of speeches on subjects entirely unre- lated to District legislation. A num- ber of the chronic talkers were al- lowed to consume the time that is credited to the District. Four points of order demanding a roll call of the House and an appeal from the decislon of the chair wasted a great deal more of the time. Row Over Herrick. ached when Rep- Zilhman of Mary- land was endeavoring to cxpedite action on the bill to extend 14th street through the medical center ad- juuct to the Walter Reed Hospital. Chairman Focht of the House Dis- trict committee granted twenty min- utes” time to Representative Manuel Herrick of Oklahoma, more famillarly known as “the aerial daredevil,” who has for several davs been conducting @ one-man filibuster in_order to get time to air his love affairs and his gricvance against certain Washing- ton newspapers. In retaliation against the District committee because Representative Herrick was given time, Representa- tive Cassius Dowell of Iowa, made the point of order that mo quorum was present. This again wasted time for a roll call and when Herrick attempt- ed to speak Representative Martin R Madden of Tllinois made a motion that the committee rise. This again pre- resentative ated a wordy partisan battle with | democratic parliamentarians arguing | for orderly procedure. An appeal from the decision of the chair was effect- ual by a vote of 78 to 70 after a lengthy wrangle, and Herrick finally Iproceeded with his speech. denounc- ing “hyenas of the press.” The house, however, ignored his resolution to de- bar reporters of certain papers from the Capitol. Only Three Bi . That was just one of several terludes during which important Dis. trict legislation could have been pa: ed if those in charge of the proce ings had honestly given the District the time it is credited with. The net result of “District day” was to pass three small bills, which should not have taken more than 10 min- utes—(1) granting the visiting Shrin- ers the use of the parks for camp purposes; (2) establishing a board of accountancy and (3) equalizing the retirement pay of police and firemen. The only important bill, on which any fight was anticipated—the ex- tension of 14th street to give a new avenue of entrance into the Capital and to open up a large surburban territory for residential development to relieve the housing shortage—was left ditched, after a few moments’ talk. BREF SUPPORTS WOMAN WAGE LAY Constitution Not Violated, Argues Corporation Coun- sel Stephens. A brief supporting the constitu- tionality of the District of Columbia minimum wage law for women and children has been filed in the United States Supreme Court by Corporation Counsel Stephens and Felix Frank- furter of counsel, assisted by Mary W. Dawson, research secretary of the National Consumers’ League, in the case of the minimum wage board against the Children's Hospital and others. The brief and appendices cover 1,100 printed pages. The questions raised in the case are, first, the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals; second, the consti- tutionality of the minimum wage law. As to the jurisdiction of the {Court of Appeals, the brief contends that only the Court of Appeals as a court, and not Justice Robb as an indlvidual member of the court, had power to pass on the jurisdiction of Justice Stafford to participate in the disposition of the original motions for rehearing. Contends Stafford Is Member. It is contended in the brief that Justice Stafford, by lawful design: tion, was a member of the Court of Appeals for purposes of these cases, and continued to be such a member until the full and final disposition of the cases, including motions for re- hearing, which he was designated to hear and decide. On the question of. constitutionality of the minimum wage act the brief eontends: The presumption to be accorded an act of Congress—that it be respected unless transgression of the Constitution is shown beyond a rational doubt amply sustairs the law, particularly in view of the cir- cumstances of its enactment. Con- gress by this legislation aimed at ends that are legitimate and within the scope of the Constitution. The means selected by Congress are ap- propriate and plainly adapted to ac- complish these ends. Rights No Prokibition. It contends that no rights of the plaintiffe secured under the Constitu- tion prohibit the of -these ap- propriate means so-adopted. by Con- gress to accomplish these legitimate ends. It is asserted that “the majori- ty opinion of the Court of Appeals erects notions of policy into constitu- tional prohibition.” The case has been set for hearing in the week commencing next Mon- day, following cases heretofore set for that time. —_— CALLS IT BUREAUCRATIC. W. H. Lamar Criticizes Government Method in Envelope Business. In a long letter to Postmaster General Work, made public_today, William H.

Lincoin as the master preservationist rather than constructionist, was depicted | by President Harding in an address de- livered at the Lincoln Memorial dinner held at the Wardman Park Hotel last night by friends of the Lincoln Memo- rial University of Cumberland ( Tenn. John Hays Hammond acted as| toastmaster. Addresses also were de- livered by Senator Watson of Indiana and Chancellor John Wesley Hill of the Lincoln University. Secretary of State Hughes and Chief Justice Taft sent letters which were read by Mr. Hammond. Right Rev. Alfred Bishop of Washington, de- livered the invocation. The meeting, held primarily to ac- quaint Washingtonians with. the work | and needs of the Lincoln Memorial Uni- versity, resolved iteelf into a remark- ble tribute to Lincoln. No human story surpasses in fasci nation and inspiration of that of Abr: ham Lincoln,” declared President Hard- | ing. ~“The republic pays tribute to- | night, and most of the world is doing | him reverence. Because of his un- | shaken i“llnul'l the world finds its own 0pes mightily strengthened. Our wor are all feeble, because we are dezlir‘\’g’ With the master martyr, the supreme leader in a national crisis, the sur- gag::n‘ I:elf:e\'er in fulfilled destiny, and loesal figure among th - - men of all the ages " o Nero-states Revived Lincoln Interest. “Turning over. in the last few day- the promise I had made fo add ey own to the testimonies that here are to bs spoken, I have been Impressive- ly reminded of the greatly revived in- terest in everything concerning Lin- coln, which has marked the past few E’)eu‘u. nollbl};’ the last two. * * ne can not but have observed how greatly the thoughts of peopie hawe turned to this man of vision, the great emancipator, Who spoke with the Vvoice of the common people for truth and for freedom. One can not have failed to note that as the fortunes of mankind have confronted tribulation and distress, the minds of men have turned to this son of the yearning, eager, earnest, simple people, and have sought in the story of his life for vital power and supreme inspirations to_the race. “Out of Lincoln came the proof that lofty achievement is not in ideals alone, but in that spiritual and material justice which is the wholesome blending of infinite pur- pose and man’s capacity for fulfill- ment. * ¢ . Increaning Understanding. “We are coming year by yvear to a more truthful and understanding ap- praisal of him. But all the researches of scholars and efforts of students have brought us little store of real understanding, have taught us well nigh nothing concerning the supreme providential purposes which permits such a light to shine now and then upon a generation of men. We know not whence come such great souls, such simple wisdom, such capacity for sacrifice and service. But we do know that as men contemplate this strange career and study its won- ders and its lessons, they are at least planting in their minds and hearts a certain vague realization of what Lincoln was and meant: a consciousness of his personal significance to them: and with all this, a keen asporation for some little participation in such a bestowal of selfishness, sacrifice and service as was the life of Lin- coln. That aspiration, I firmly be- lieve, is fixed in a greater number of human hearts today than it ever was before. It may be somewhat vague and unformed, yet we readily recognize that it represents some- thing-like the aspirations of a race for a new incarnation of the spirit and the leadership of Lincoln. “Doubtless it is vain to hope that another such as he will be given to us and to our time. But to the extent that we shall prove ourselves worthy of such a leader, to that extent we shall be the better_able to save ourselves without him. The task which men face through- out the world now is one with which they must cope as God intended. Their hope, their salvation, their destiny, must at least be in their own hands. They will eave themselves if they will forget themselves. Probably the task would be less difficult if humanity would get a little nearer to God. In times like these, the fullest, truest service that any nation or any seclety can render to itself, will be the service which is conceived in unselfishness and rendered without thought of immediate guidance in the hour of humanity’s trial. To me this has been a norlo’n: of hope, a justification of faith, a rea- son for confildence that men will not only guide the bark of civilization through the storms which beset it, but will at last bring it into the port Ofua better and happler day. It does not seem hard to under- stand why in ‘times like these in Which we live there hould be such | a renascence of sentiment for Lincoln of renewed interest in the great les- sons of his life. For men have come to think of him as they have mot thought of others among the merely human characters of history. Lincoln has apealed to them as one who mani. festly was brought forth Wwith the destiny or consecrated by an infinite hard to render a particular service, to save a nation, to emancipate a people, to preserve in the world the fruits of the American experiment in and for democracy. Surely it is not strange that the eyes and the inter- est of a world should turn to him now, when all mankind feels the need for such leadership and service and direction as he gave. A world, a civ- ilization. an epoch—all these are fac- ing the bitter need for the moral pur- pose, the noble aspirations, the high courage, that he interpreted to our America in the days of its crisis. More, humanity itself needs to drink of the cup of unfailing confidence which enabled him to stand erect and unshaken amid discouragements and criticlsm which would have ecrushed any less than a master heart and Test of Civiltsation. “The world today sees civilization brought to its supreme test. Its trial came when it might least have been expected. At the very apex of ma- terial advances, when science and in- dustry and invention and oculturé seemed to have united in justifying man’'s proudest estimate of his des- tiny, there came among the nations 8such & clash of ambitions, such a con- fusfon of ideals, such a crash, of con- flicting aims and aspirations, as it had never known before. It brought bewildering confusion, and over- whelming amazement to those who had been esteemed the wisest among their kind, and who, in the folly of their wisdom, had been most certain that such a thing could never hap- pen. And in the very face of havoc wrought, of the utter futility of It .;.ll. we still wonder that it could have epn. “But the sobering and distressing realization has come at last, that in its eagerness to harness and dominate the material forces of the world, hu- manity had lost its anchorage to the ultimate things of the higher, the nobler, the spiritual universe. Turn- ing now, in the midst of the wreck- ags, to seek for whatever can be trusted as safe and strong and last- ing, it is not to be wondered that people turn anew the pages of Lin- coln’s story. In very truth his seul :mm&nn. To him it has beem Ivan gain, or even of ultimate personal ad- vantage.

His supreme gift was not in_construction, his was the master preservation. And the call of the world today is for pres- ervation for the preserved civilization which is the best judgment of hu intelligence since the world began. * ® ® “The Lincoln Memorial University has truly been called a living me- morial to the emancipator. founded in pursuance of his expres: desire that the light of learning might be carried to the people of that strangely sequestered mountain com- munity of which his own forbears were members. * * ¢ It stands to the everlasting credit of these men and women of the mountains, that in every time of national need they have been instant in response and mag- nificent in loyalty. * * * The nation owes to them a vast balance of ob- ligation, and the Lincoln Memorial University represents one instalment ‘Today the Hupmobile stands alone as the onereally fine carata pricepracticallyaslow as that of cars which noonewould comE:re withtheHupmobilein reliability, in ’o life, in low costs, in every phase of actual driving. terrett & Fleming, Ino.

Seeretary Hughes' Tribute. The letter from Secretary Hughes follows: “Great as was Lincoln’s service in preserving the Union, we pay our tribute to the character which even transcended that service and explain- ed it. We need not fear for lack of resources or of invention or of skill, or of new comforts and conveniences. or constant and successful efforts to improve the standards of living, or of facilities for technical education. Appeals for Financial A “The supreme need is the reinforce- ment of the character, the education of the soul. For that purpose we all need a course in Lincoln. In making Lincoln the exemplar of the nation we are not merely recognizing heroic service, but we are safeguarding our most vital resources. “His love of the plain people, of whom he was the most distinguished representative; his tender sygpathy and patience, his clarity of thought, tenacity of purpose and the essential fairness and understanding which dominated every action make him the embodiment of the democratic ideal.

Ballou, superintendent of schools, had laid upon his desk yes- terday the Tesignation of Miss Carolyn A. Newton, a domestic science teacher, With the statement appended that she had secured a position in the New stitution. At present, he said, the university is accommodating about 1,000 stu- dents. and 85 per cent of them are working their way through college. So eager are these people of the mountains for learning today that the capacity of the university is en- tirely inadequate, The students come of the purest Anglo-Saxon and Amer- ican stock that can be found in the country today. Shut away in the hills, these people have for vears been’ unable to obtain the education which they need, he said. Tilustrative of the determination of the young people to get education, Dr. Hill told a story of a young man who came down to the university from the mountains carrying his ail in a pack on his back, “The dean of the university told the young man that he was sorry that the university was full to overflow- ing,” said Dr. Hill, “that there were no_ynoocupied beds available.” “‘1 didn't come here to sleep: came here to learn,’ was the reply the young man,” continued Dr. ; “Needless to say, the university found a means of caring for him when he had shown such spirit.” Dr. Hill told another story, of a mother who brought two daughters to the university to start them as pupils, She was told that it was necessary to pay at least $50 to start the girly off on their university ca- reer. The mother went away dis- mayed. But in about a week she was back and handed over the $50. Where did she get the money, she was asked. Sacrificed for Education. “I sold my cow,” the mother an- swered, with tears in her eyes. “These are the people who are seek an education in the hills today, said Dr. Hill. “They are prepared to make ail kinds of sacrifices for it.” These mountain people have always, sald Dr. Hill, answered the call of their country in war. They fousht the savages in the early days, they fought for the Union when Lincoln was President, and in the world war York school system at a salary twice as large as paid her in Washington. Miss Newton will take up her $2,400- a-year position in the New York schools Thursday. The superintendent pointed out that unless the Capper teachers’ salary bill passes Congress at this session he ex- pects a number of the teachers to re- sign for better-paid positions in the school systems in other cities. they gave of their best. And since the world war they have been more eager than ever to come into the birthright of every American, an edu- cation. i Senator Watson eulogized Abraham Lincoln, calling him the towering fig- ure in American history, the greatest of America's dead. He said that Lin- Coln today, if alive, would stand for none of the socialistic measures put forward by radicals of today: that Lincoln had sensed and grasped the opportunity of every free American %o work and to succeed If he had the germ of success in him. Senator Watson paid tribute to the human side of the great war President, as well as to his genius.
