The dangerous practice OF q num-
Der of small boys OF this city, OF
climbing ON rapidly moving trains
should be abolished in some manner
II possible. Life and limb is leopard
lied nearly every time a train enters
the city, and particularly when the
Little Falls & Dakota train comes in
at noon. Swarms OF small chill
dren are down by the tracks above
the water tank waiting for ride to
the depot, and considering the
chances they take to board the train
when it is moving rapidly, it is GER
tainly a wonder that some of them
have not been killed long before now.
1t is not only dangerous, but is
source of annoyance and trouble to
the trainmen, for realizing the peril
Of the children they not only have to
look after their train, but also
watch these children, and do az
much as the possibly can to prevent
their being injured. The trainmen
made complaint about the matter
today to Station Agent Mann, and
he informed the police end asked
them to take the matter in hand.
There is law against parties
boarding moving cars, and unless
these boys stop it the authorities
will be called upon to see that the
law is regidly enforced. The par
ents OF some OF these boys, who are
probably not aware OF the danger
their children are In, will be notified
and asked to prevent them from
continuing this dangerous practice

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY.

Abraham Lincoln was born on the 18th
of February, 1909 and died on the 18th
of April, 1865. In the thirty four years
which haze elapsed since his death his
fame has been steadily growing through
out the civilized world. Other presi-
dents have come and gone, fulfilled their
missions and won honorable renown in
the annals of their country's history
But Abraham Lincoln is now acknowl
edged to be one of the few great figures
in the world drama of modern times and
to have played an important part in
shaping human history. His great
prophecy, uttered in 1858, that this
government cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free" had its logica
fulfillment in the Emancipation Procla
nation to which he set his hand and
seal and which, having once issued, he
declared it his purpose never to retract
or modify it, During the four years
struggle for the maintenance of the
Union, which meant also the abolition
of slavery, his was the keen eye which
the ship of State could be safely piloted
thr ugh storms and perils, and his was
the strong hand which held the helm
and brought us out at last free people,
not simply in name but in fact. LET
us have faith that right makes might,
he said land in that faith let us 10 the
end dare to do our duty as we under
stand it, !"
1t was on the battlefield of Gettysburg
that he uttered MODEST call to duty when
he said in words which have become
classic and should be familiar to every
school boy in the land: Resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation, under God, shall have
new birth Of freedom, and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people. shall not perish from the
earth"
Never since the civil war was this
solemn warning more needed than now.
Recent events have made this nation
great world power in a sense unknown
to our fathers, and new perils as well as
new duties await the American people
in the days to come We do well at this
time to recall the spirit and purpose of
our Martyr President. He was, AZ Mr..
Lowell has truly said:
Wise, steadfast in the strength of God,
and true
For all generate ,us he will be an heroic
example for the people of the land he
loved, and they may well unite at this
time to "hang wreath on his world

TUBERCULOSIS COMMISSION

A matter of interest to Morris
county farmers and dairymen will be
found in the financial statement of the
treasurer of the tuberculosis Commits
sion. made to the State Comptroller.
The treasurer. Howell G. Cook, is q
gentleman who stands high in business
circles in Trenton, and who gives his
time to this work at considerable self
sacrifice. When it is seen that over
fourteen hundred cows have been in.
spected at cost of only 81, 179. and that
the other expenses of the commission
are so small, the public will agree that
this work is done most economically.
The money has been chiefly paid out
as compensation to the owners of the
two hundred and forty-five cattle de.
stroyed. 1t might be added that an
''itemlzed' account is kept of this ex-
pendirure, which for obvious reasons is
not published and spread broadcast:
