For the Eighteenth Successive- Ve.** Senator Chaunsey M. Dapaw Wat Given a Dinner, by the Montatik Ctufc of Brooklyn, In Celebration of Hit Birthday, on April 26th, 190% The senator, who, as usual in thes* occasions, was the only spaaier, de liv^red the following address; V ,S&T± President,; l<adl8a ami G%»Ue. men^To arrive at se.vettt5;»flv^ f^orsoi age, healthy and vigorous, With mental • and physical powers unimpaired, is a cause for infinite gratitude to God an£ merits the congratulations of MenSs The most gratifying tribute to JDJ yonth came from President Roosevelt when I called at the White House ai the opening of Congress last Decern ber.

He did not speak every day, nor travel, nor Uv© on railroad * trains.\'; Friendship a Perennial Flower. For eighteen years this club has glvex me a birthday dinner. I derive from this more pleasure than from all the other honors which Juree come to me. Friendship has been called a fragile flower, bnt with you it has been a per- ennial one for me. Many who partici- pated seventeen year* ago hare joined the majority, hot, their aons have, come to take their places and to express the same sentiments which cemented the attachment between their fathers sod myself. Most old men look forward to each succeeding birthday with appre- hension, but yoa make me nail them with joy. k taew one distinguished citizen who retired from a glace of great usefulness, and one which he fined so well that it was almost an im- possibility to find a successor, because he thought that staying in the harness would be hla finish and rest and rec reation prolong bis life. I knew an- other who did the same at seventy- six, only he went to bed and remained ... there for four years. I knew another who at eighty locked himself in his house when he «w in the\ obituary column that anyone of a similar age had died. My observation is that ion gevity and happiness are in continuing to the extent of your strength the work which -is most congenial, and which you have been accustomed to do easily. Retirement for rest and recre- ation usually . means that apprehension brings on the troubles, you fear and the reaper gathers you in because you are over-ripe and dried up. Probably no sentence has beenlS of ten quoted as that of King Davids which Is as fol- lows: '^The days of our years are three •core years and ten, and if by rexsoar ef strength they he four score years yet is their strength labor and sor- row.\ Josephus says David died at seventy. The wonder is that with the life he led he had not departed Ion* before.\ Certainly ao modern physician would think of prescribing now for a man. approaching seventy the remedy which the royal doctors found for Da- Tid. Hygiene and sanitation, air and: cleanliness have prolonged life and promoted health in our day far be- yond any period except the patriarchal one, Achievementa ef Youth and Age. Layard in excavating the ruins of Babylon found the Ittrary of-iJebu- chadnezsar. The books were inde- structible because written upon clay which was. then baked into • bricks. Among them was an ancedote that one of the beauties of the period said to Methuselah: **I see yon have been cel- ebrating yonr birthday. Which was It?\ The old gentleman remarked, The nine hundred and sixtiett.\ \Ah said she, \Methuselah you do not look a day over nine hundred and ten.\ As we advance in ilfe that sort «* of compliment is highly appreciated; Discussion has been going on through all the ages whether yonth or age has achieved the most The famous Doe- tor Osier thought everybody should be chloroformed at forty. If his view bad prevailed, tie world woold bc-many- eentnries behind its present advance, Naploeon reached his zenith in the early thirties and then began to de- cline. The Russian campaign and Wa- terloo were due to decaying genius Hannibal became the greatest general' of his age before he was thirty, but the precocious vein was soon exhaust- ed. Byron's genius was an early and brilliant flame : which illumined? the world, but tte area were dead in his tarty manhood. The same was true of Alexander the Great.

Only three Presi- dents of the United States were under. fifty when they were Inaugurated. Most of them had passed their sixtieth bfrthoay.

Von Moitke won his great victories to the Franco-Prus- stan War in his seventy-second year. Webster delivered his Immortal speech in reply to.

The most remarkable to Its economic effects of the' rapid revolatlona of our day in the position of corpjoratlons, and especially of railways, to\ legislation. This fhange bs* mainly come in tbe last four years. Railway corporations were for a long time » po«'*r *a pol- ities. That power was flrgt eaitivated to the limit by ambitions tJoliHcians aatt'then it became a good political as- iet to assail it After varlon* eiperl- menta our legislation htm wisely tamed not to pnblle ownerabip with Its mani- fest eriis> bnt to Government control. I tbink I may ciaim to be almost a pioneer to this idea* A study of *&e gnesttan convinced-me that tbe «afeiy of tbe inyestor, the perteetlon of l^e service and the protection of the pen* pie were, to \Government control of tbese great line* of to^ariortatlott upon wineb the prosperity and corns, fort of the pabile depeni I h^ve giv- en toy cordial support to tbe measure* for tlie prevention of rebates and tps- crlmtoationa and for tacreastoif Ms powers -of: tlte St»te an4 aterBtatti CJommerce Cpmmissions. Tbe first idea of-the atateamen; who; legisiatett ion this question was to make conditions equal tor averytoody on any jpne itoej imt to encourage competition between att iinea. Great salppers Witb; Vast capital took advantage of this and put- all their, shipments over-a weak' ilne^ monopolizing its facilities, both, of equipment and of termtaais, so that it *oald,db business-for nan «tteris,,and then- securing rate* wbiclr c^mpeiled the stronger line* to grant favors. Sometimes at the expense of bank- ruptcy. Tbls legislation really Seated We. great trusts of the country. Tbe railways were utterly helpless because they Were prohibited front combining or even agreeing among themselves for . protection against these master* of. their business, Had the privilege been given to the railroads to make agree- ments, or pool, if you please, and every contract^ before it was executed to be approved TBy the Interstate Com- merce Commission and > the-power ire. served In the!
