MEMORIALS or LINCOLN.

Preparations for commemorating the loWh
anniversary Of the birth Of Lincoln are beng
made betfmes. as is fitting. Seldom III our
history has there been personal anniVer-
sarv better worth the most general and most
thoughtful observance Indeed no commemora-
ton could be too greas for the whole nation to
make. Especially is il desirable that it shall
he as general and Al popular possible. That
is because Lincoln's services were rendered to
the whole people. and because he was cOnspic-
uously and essentially n man of the people in
the hest sense of that too often abused phrase.
There is probably no character in all our his
tory which more strongly appeals 10 the whole
people than does his. nor is there any with
which il would he more profitable for the whole
people to become closely acquainted.
The local preparations for the commenora-
ton in this city are commendabe because OF
their popular character. The programme COM
prises some pageaHtry and several great public
ga therings. and also :. variety OF local gather
ingS in Ill parts of the city. These latter should
be especially profitable. BY means of lectures
and addresses in schoOhOuSeS. churches and
public halls it ought TO he made possible for
a vast multitude Of persons 10 participate in the
commemoration and to listen 10 suitable adj

nor more than a small minority, OF Lle people
will attend these meetings but the numbc- OF the
meetings on that day and night will he in the
hundreds and The number of attendants will be
scores. and perhaps hundreds of thousands.
The Interesting proposal has also been made
that the general national commemoratiOn shall
include among its features the endowment with
the sum of 100000 of the Lincoln Memorial
University at Cumberland Gap Tenn. and a
committee Of we'll known and influential men
has been formed to execute that design. Be

TRANSFERS AVID PROFITS.

The figures which the Public Service Com
mission gives out as a result Of lis study of
transportation statistics ia this city are much
more conclusive regarding the cost Of trans
ferring passengers than ANY which the street
railway managers have made public. The latter
asserted that their companies were being ruined
by carrying passengers AT less than cents
head: but. a. We pointed cut they reached that
figure only log counting each transferred pas
sen-er as two passengers. Now the Public Ser
vice Commission shows that the number OF
cash passengers on the surface lines Increased

and she lines carried 50 many cash passengers

mile increased from 9J.5S cents in 1906 10 25.S9
cents in 1875. In that time the transfer pas
SINGERS increased 1S9 per cent. but despite that
increase IN The use of transfers. which the street
railway companies declared was ruinous, the
earnings Of each car TO the mile increased. This
proves AZ any rate. that there was no loss due
