Various proposals are being made
for the celebration of the Lincoln CEN
tenary. Lincoln and Darwin were
born on the same day, and both in
England and in this country the sug-
gestion has been made of an interna-
tional observance of the birthday.
Some visible memorial will, no doubt,
be erected to Lincoln in Washington,
and it has been proposed to construct
a centennial highway from Washing
ton to Gettysburg. Whatever the out
ward and visible observances may be,
there is one manifestation of interest
which the individual may make to him
self in private; he may read the writ
ten works OF the two great men who
were born en- February -, 1909, and
discover the ideas that keep those
men alive.

Staggering Losses by Fire.

The totals of fire loss in this couns
try may signify little to the average
mind, but the comparative figures
should mean much. The figures is
sued by the national board Of fire I'M
derwriters show that the average fire
loss per capita in the United States
for the last five years was 1902,
against 33 cents for six European
countries, including France, Germany
and Austria. 1t may be objected per-
haps that it is unfair to select this
particular period for purposes Of COM
parison, since both the Baltimore fire
of 1904 and the San Francisco fire Of
1906 are included in 1t. And yet, says
the New York Globe, If these two fires,
representing about 100000, were
deducted from the total fire loss Of the
country for the five years-which is es-
timated at $1,257,716,9 55-the total
would be reduced by but little over
fourth. And the American per
capita loss would remain about 61A
times larger than the European. What
is to blame for this great disparity?
Are we so much more careless than
Europeans? Are European building
codes, fire departments and water sup
plies from 61s to 10 times better than
those found in the United States?
