No such re proach, as far as I am aware, lies at the door of Massachusetts. The president of the United States has said, not once but many times, that, if every state had adopted corpora tion and railroad laws like those of Massachusetts, there would have been no need of much of that national railroad legislation which he has ad vised and which has been largely enacted. . Mr. Lodge declared that no state should be given a right to disregard a treaty made by the United States or to so act as to bring war upon the nation. "The people of the United States," he said, "will not long suffer their foreign relations to be imperilled, or permit the peace of the country to be put in jeopardy because some one state does not choose to submit to the action of the general government in a matter with which the general government alone can deal."

Tribute From Southern Man Hodgenville, Ky., Feb. 12. In an ad dress delivered, today at Lincoln farm, the spot where Abraham Lincoln was born exactly 100 years ago, General Luke E. Wright, secretary of war. speaking at the exercises held in con nection with the centenary of the war president's birth, paid high tribute to the fame, and name of Lincoln. Secretary Wright declared that Lin coln believed that slavery was a curse and a great moral wrong; and in believing thus," he added, "he was right." After speaking of the hum ble origin and poor opportunities which Lincoln had, he went on to refer to the question of the right of sti'te secession, declaring that "it would be unfair to sav that there was a complete unani mity of of sentiment up this subject on either side of Mason and Dixon s i line," Secretary Wright said that slave ry "was not alone the sin of the South, although its expiation fell heaviest up on her people." In speaking of the work of Mr. Lin coln, he said that through it all he uttered no word of ill will or malice to ward the Southern people; that when Lincoln saw victory resting upon the Northern arms he showed no feeling of exultation; that if he had lived there would have been , a speedy union or hearts between the North and the South; and that "reconstruction did more to' Dostpone reconciliation than did the war itself." j "Alas." exclaimed the secretary of war, referring to Lincoln's first inaug ural address, "that the still small voice of moderation and reason was drowned in the angry cries of determined men marshalling" for conflict, the duration and magnitude of which few, if any, apreciated, and the consequences of which few, if any, foresaw. And yet there were among the combatants tens of thous ands of men who felt the sweet reason ableness of his dispassionate state ments, whose hearts were touched by Ms pathetic cry for peace, and yet who, ( a igiii up in uie ribiug eitucuicui i the time, al'.igned themselves:iinder the stress of circumstances on the one side or the other, tens of thousands of men on both sides deploring war, yet when war seemed- Inevitable ranging them selves with their neighbors. It seem ed the very irony of fate that so gentle u snirtt so svmnathetic and kindly a nature should be forced by the stern logic of events over which he had no control and for which he was in no .. . A 1 1 ..V wav responsiDie, to assume me iuie ui commander-in-chief in a sanguinary civil war between men of the same blood and the same traditions. "The years of war and destruction during whih he was president, whilst they plowed deep lines of care and grief upon his rugged face and wrung his gentle heart, provoked no expres sions of bitterness from his lips. His many acts of personal kindness to Southern prisoners and Southern sym pathizers demonstrated how free from the spirit of malice of vengeance he was. As in the progress of time it became evident the union arms would triumph, he evinced no feeling of ex ultation or sense of personal triumph, tmt nniv sin sinxious desire to restore the Southern states to their former place in the union and to head the wounds of civil strife. That he would have succeeded in carrying with him a great majority of the people of the wnrth in his beneficient purposes, does not, to niv mind, admit of doubt; and that there would have followed speed ily the union of hearts is equally cer tain It was indeed, cruel that, at tne moment when he had reached the point tv.r whieh he had striven he should have died at the hands of a hair-brained aotnr who was in no way luenuiieu ,v-un the South or her people. They shuddered both at the dastardly act of ht a:iination and at the disastrous consequences to themselves which they knew would follow.

Scheme for Re-organization of Norfolk And Southern I FLEET H01HD BOUND By Associated Press. Xew York, Feb. 12. A wireless mes sage from the Tender Yankton which it preceeding the Atlantic battleship lleet now on its way to Hampton Roads pfter its cruise around the world, was picked up shortly after 1 o'clock this morning by wireless station on Fire Island. The message was as follows: "Yankton S p. m., Feb. 11, lat. 2Ai north; long. 52.04 w-p.t.. Fleet 34.3G IIP THE STATE LEGISLATURE north; Sneed 30.19 10 1-2 knoiV.

President elect Taft ihas telegraphed Senator Hale urging congress to remove all doubt of Senator Knox's eligibility to the office of secretary of state and say ing that the loss of Mr. Knox from the cabinet premiership would be a public misfortune. greater measure, if possible, than to the whites." In referring to the public utterances of Lincoln during the period of discus sion preceding the war. Secretary Wright said that nothing had impress ed him more "than the singular clear ness of Lincoln's perception that the responsibility for slavery rested upon all our people and was a burden whidi should be borne by all alike. There was ii temperance of statement, a re spect for the opposite point of view, and a moderation of his positions.which when the excitement' of the time is considered is most extraordinary and must command our admiration. Well would it have been for all our people had they been able, to approach this burning question with the same con servatism and Rood sense. I have sometimes thought that this was to some extent due to the fact that his birth and early youth were in a slave holding state and that he understood the attitude and feeling of its people to a degree not possible for one born and reared in a community where slavery had long been unknown. He sincerely believed in an indessoluble union. He sincerely believed that slave ry was a curse and a . great moral wrong; and in believing thus he was right. He was opposed not only to its extension but believed that gradual emancipation was a possibility worth striving- for: and yet he respected the constitution and did not believe in the right to extinguish slavery by force In all the speeches he made there can be found no word of ill-will or malice towards the Southern people, and in reading his utterances no Southern man finds himself entertaining the slightest, sentiment of resentment to wards him or aught save admiration for his sincerity, lriendliness and broad humanity.'

"What am I here for?" Mr. Will S. Biggers is said to have asked this question of Deputy Sheriff E. O. Johnson yesterday at the jail. Neither by the deputy nor by his brother and brother-in-law, who visited him. was he told of the tragedy in front of the Central hotel, and he did net mention if of his own accord. Biggers waked up last night and repeated the question, "What am I here for?" and one of the big-mouthed prisoners replied: "You killed a man." Whereat Biggers broke out into a violent and long-continued fit of weeping, and did not rest well again the remainder of the night. One of his physicians went to see him again this morning. The prisoner made his usual complaint: "My head hurts." This is what he has been say ing ever since he has been able to refer to his condition. Asked at one time where it hure he placed his hand over the ton of bis head. The physician this morning asked the prisoner if he knew why he was in jail. By way of answer he closed his month and ?iazed off into rpace. The question was again put to him in a little different form, but TJiggers did not answer. After the doctor bjft. the other prisoners said Biggers went to weeping atiain.
