whatever nature, we are led to wonder what would have been the outcome had Abraham Lincoln been in the presi- dential chair and had his cabinet been composed of the men who composed it in the days of the Civil war. We realize, of course that the circumstances of the crisis which confronted hima in the eos were not identical with, or per haps even similar to, those during the administrations of William Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Therefore would he have risen ito the needs of the hour? Would the results have been different, better or more satisfactory? Would he have measured up to the standard?

HISTORIC ELIc

It will not be surprising if the sug-; 1estion made on page one of to-day's paper by I. N. Bartram of Sharon, strikes popular chord. That sugges- tion is that the old Methodist Church at Falls Village, erected in 1793, and known n the Battle Hill church, the first Methodist church erected in New Eng land, be acquired if possible, put in re- pair, and finished and furnished, both interior and exterior, as it was in the days when it was used to house religious assemblages. Mir. Bartram suggests that the old class room be restored, that tablets be placed within the old edltice bearing the date of erection, the name Of the first preacher and other historical data. To restore it to it's primitive state would require the presence of foot stoves, the old candle sticks and tallow dips, the old-fashioned hymn books etc. etc. Thus preserved, it would become an historic relic of by-gone days, monu- ,ment to Methodism in New England, an object of interest and tribute of ap- preoiation of the labors and struggles of the faithful and conscientious preachers and laymen who endured many hard ships and vicissitndes, in the early days in order that The Word might be spread abroad.
 To acquire, restore and maintain thls building would probably be beyond the financial capabilities of the Falls Village Methodists They would, as is sug- gested by MT. Bartram, require assist ance and he believes it eminently fitting that the Methodists of all New England should be invited to contribute to fund for carrying out the plan as outlined.
 THE NEWS believes the idea good one but our knowledge of the conditions is so limited that we do not know whether such plan is practicable. We simply pass the word along that the old first church still stands, that It's physical condition is such as to warrant it's being easily repaired and restored to its original state. If the suggestion meets with popular approval, 8 com mittee from several of the churches of New England might be appointed to take the matter under advisement and proceed with the work of restoration.

cLAREY AT BOSTON

Editor Clarey of Great Harrington, now known as representative Olarey of Berkshire, seems to be able to maintain . prominent position in the lime light of publicity whether it be in his home town or in the city of crooked streets and baked beans. Last week the Massa- chusetts legislative committee on agri- culture gave hearing on his bill which provides for an increase of the tax on dogs from two dollars to five per year.
 The aristocracy of the pug, poodle and pomeranian order attended the hearing
 Arrayed in their silks and Satins they hissed and hooted the member from the "rural deestriets'' who had the brazen offrontery to say that the multitude of pups of both high and low degree had ,depopulated the hills of Massachusetts of the flocks of sheep which formerly abounded thereon, The women were not alone in their opposition, their sputters and their sarcasm however. One man suggested that Clarey be put out, another desired that his anatomy be elevated and propelled through the transom. It was at this juncture that the editor-representative uttered the appellation that made him famous in Boston for day or two. He called his villifeers 'cultured mob" and supple mented this by the statement that the man who wanted him put out was un- able to do the job without help. Purple with anger, if newspaper reports are true, Clarey intimated, hinted and avowed that if the man who suggested that his room, was preferable to his company, attempted to put him out, he would place his closed hand in imme- diate, adjacent and proximitous con tiguousness to that mans countenance
 There was no bloodshed although things looked threatening for spell.
 And the worst of it all is that it is hardly probable that the tax on pups will be increased. /

LINCOLN, MCKINLEY ROOSEVELT

The name of Abraham Lincoln will
 endure throughout the ages as that of one of the most able men who have occupied the White House at Washing ton as the chief magistrate of the nation.
 His marked ability, his tact, his un- usually sympathetic nature, his energy, the many things he accomplished for the public good and the important part he played in an effort to prevent the dis ruption of the nation will always be consciously or unconsciously coupled with the name of Lincoln. And often. as we make mental review of the events of the not far remote past, for in- stance the Spanish American war, the probing of the trusts and the various in- ternal disturbances and difficulties ot

The bill providing for an increase in widows pensions bids fair to become . law. The sooner the better. Surely there is no person who will offer object ion to an increase of pension from $500 to $12.O0 or $500 per month for the widows ot those men who gave their lives in behalf of the cause they believ- ed to be right, whether those men wore the blueyor the gray. Some of these widows have absolutely nothing with which to keep body and soul together excepting this pittance of $500 and the struggle for existence is hard one. Humanity is on the side of this pension bill, sure.

WILL TRY SPANKING.

The New York board of education is likely to become converted to the Spare the rod and spoil the child" maxim. They are seriously considering the ad- visibility of restoring spanking to the curriculum. Corporal punishment was abolished by the board couple of years ago, as result of certain teachers and principals overdoing it and seriously in- turing offending pupils.
 Evidently the school authorities find that the abolishment of the thrashing has not tended to improve the behavior of the youngsters, nor advance them in their education, and the special com mittee is convinced that the rod is an effective agency in teaching the young idea how to shoot. At any rate, it has stronger influence in persuading the more rebellious among the youngsters of the necessity of good behavior than either soft words or harsh reprimand.
