SATAN'S V r LINCOLN'S ATTITUDE CITED Xoted Georria Evangelist Think Government May Be Ron " With out a Partnership With the Devil" In Traffic. Drawing1 a comparison between the licenced liquor business of the present and the Institution of slavery in the South as It existed before the Civil War. Rev. Sam Small, the noted Georgia evangelist, last night addressed a large audience at the First Congre rational Church. His subject was "HU Majesty the Devil," and the organized liquor traffic was characterized as "the greatest agent that satan baa to He bauch. damn and destroy." In picturesque language his discourse 1 illuminated by many homely anecdotes of the South, the speaker analyzed the situation in regard to the liquor busi ness. He said it waa not recognized by the Government until 1862, when the country, under the necessity of financ ing a great war. adopted the expedient of raising money Dy a revenue on liquor. Lincola la Opposed. It was adopted at that time vir tually over the protest of President Lincoln." declared Mr. SmalL "He re fused three times to sign the order es tablishing internal, or as I choose to call it. Infernal' revenue, and finally signed It only with the understanding that it would be abolished at the close of the war." As to the method to be pursued bring ing about National prohibition, the cele brated Georgian declared that it will be necessary for "the folks back home" to let Congress know by their votes that they want the liquor traffic abol ished. "I believe that it Is possible to ret 400 or 500 men to go to Washing ton and devise ways and means to run this Government without a partnership with the devil in the form of a licensed, organized traffic in alcoholic liquors." Pareat'a Predletloa Cited. ' "But you say," continued the speaker, "the liquor traffic is too strong, too firmly intrenched, too much a part of our commercial organization to be cut out without great injury to the entire social body. As a little boy on my father's plantation in Georgia I heard the same arguments advanced for the perpetuation of the curse of slavery. My father, good old Scotch Presbyterian that he was. believed in slavery. He predicted that bis son Sam's grand children would be the holders of slaves who were the grandchildren of his slaves' children. How far' my father failed of being a true prophet you all known. "And the liquor traffic Is not In trenched In the Constitution as slavery was. It has absolutely no constitu tional recognition, and there are 15 Supreme Court decisions, covering a period of "5 years against It." PERSONAL MENTION. F.

CROWDS WATCH WORKMEN Plans for New Class A Building; Are Sow Being Prepared and It Will Be Completed by Oc tober 1, Is Belief. Roaring down wooden funnels in streams of brick and mortar, the old Marquam building is gradually melt ing away, and within 20 days, it is the opinion of the contractors In charge of the i razing process, everything will be in readiness for the new Northwestern Bank building of the Portland Trust Company to rise over the site from which the ruins of the old building are being removed. The wrecking of the old Marquam is in the hands of the Sound Construc tion Company, and the plans for the new class A building are being pre pared by the architects of the firm of Doyle, Patterson and Beach. These plans are now well advanced and probably will be completed within the next ten days. The Portland Trust Company expects to see the new build ing completed by October 1 of the com ing year. -, Steel Beams Removed. "The hardest part of the raxing pro cess was the removal of the great steel beams from the upper part of the structure," said Emery Olmstead. cashier of the Portland Trust Company, yesterday. "This task is now completed and the remainder of the work will go forward much more rapidly than be fore." The work of the wreckers goes on practically without intermission. Dur ing the daytime interested spectators gather upon the sidewalks across from the building and watch the progress of the workmen. The three towers that were distinctive of the building have almost completely disappeared and at either end of the building the work men have cut down to within two stories of the heavy stone work that supported the corner towers. The up per edges of the building present the aspect of shattered battlements In some mediaeval castle. "If they could move it up on the heights Just as it Is now," remarked one of the spectators yesterday, it would make a fine Tuined castle on the Rhine'." Spectators Watch Laborer. Standing or sitting astride of the rapidly dwindling walls, the workmen smash the brick away from under them as unconcernedly as If they were la boring on solid ground, and this ephase of the wrecking process seems to have an unceasing attraction for passers-by who pause at all hours of the day to watch the work and to speculate with me another upon the relative safety 01 work of this type. - - nj, 1 t.

Henderson, of Avont, Okla has a relative living In Southern Califor nia who has Bright's Disease. He wrote her that he had talked the mat ter over with his doctor, who told him of an agent that would reduce dropsy "that he had used it where other things had failed, and that if she would use It for sixty days she would get rid of the dropsy and find great relief Henderson wrote her what to get. The result was a letter from the lady asking where Fulton's Renal Com pound could be had, and that, as ehe was going to move to Oregon as soon as she was well enough, she wanted a connection there also. Patients with chronic Bright's Dis ease doubtless know that It is declared Incurable. If there is a simple agent to counteract Renal Degeneration and relax the kidneys that Is saving many patients, then, in the name of con science, if none are recovering without It, what does common sense suggest? Many physicians are saving cases after "other things had failed," as in the case of the doctor above, but it is poor policy to delay.
