WASHINGTON LETTER.
lFRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }

jFROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., FFB. 18TH.
By joint resolution late on the
nth inst, Congress made provision
for the observance of Friday the 18th,
the centennial of the birth of Lincoln
as a special holiday and the Presi-
dents proclamation confirmed the
action of Congress, making it effect
i've in the District of Columbia, A las
ka, Arizona, New Mexico and Ha-
wall. In anticipation of the passage
of the resolution, after he has depart
ed for Lincoln's birthplace in Ken
lucky, the President had prepared
and signed proclamation which was
issued as soon as the Joint resolution
had been signed by vice-presldent
Fairbanks and speaker Cannon.
Near the close of the session of the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Bou-
telle of Illinois, delivered eulogy on
Lincoln of such force and simplicity
that | will venture to quote it here
believing it cannot have a too wide
circulation:
"No ruler ever faced SO hard a
task, or one beset with 50 many pit
falls as that which confronted Lin
coin, when he entered the Presl-
dency. During all his term of serv-
ice he had to deal, not only with open
enemies, but with secret foes, faith
less friends and INSCRIPTIONS rivals.
"He endured the whips and scorns
of time with uhfailing patience and
serenity, sometimes diverting the
force of the heaviest blows with the
shield of humor; and day after day
he bore without a murmur load OF

that had not been nobly consecrated.
but in the night watches, when
deep sleep falleth upon men, he trod
alone the Hottest heights of human
thought, communed in solitude with
God, drank deep from the cool els
terms of Christian charity and came
back to the burdens and the heat OF
another day with his soul purged OF
all envy, hatred and malice and all
uncharitablencss and with the light
of inspiration in his deep-set eyes,
We shall search in vain the messages,
speeches and letters of Lincoln fol

differed with him or sought to thwart
his designs.

the old Lincoln Homestead in Larue
county and to deliver an address
there. The other sp akers were cx-
Governor Folk of Missouri and the
Secretary of War, Mr.. Wright.
Presidrnt-clrct Taft is exp cted in
Washington on Tuesday, where he
will hold conference with the Pres
idcnt and some friends and it is prob
able that at this time an authorita-
tive statement will be made of the
results of his inspection of the inter
oceanic canal.
There was an interesting cpisolc in
the Senate yesterday when laFollrtc
of Wisconsin standing alone held up
the United States Senate and prevent
I'd the consid ration of the Naval
Appropriation Bill. forcing an adj
journmrnt until Monday, invulvinga
loss of two days time notwithstand-
ing the fact that but fifteen Legislative
days of the short session remain. He
and Senator Hale OF Maine had tilt
in which IaFullctr proved himself a
more than equal drhat,r and IA mas
ter of sarcasln. 1t is we'll understood
that Mr.. LaFollrtc and number of
Senators younger in service If not IN
wears, ar. determined to resist the
autocracy of Al,rich, Hale and Gall
niger which has long ruled the Sen
ate. In the debate Mr.. LaFollrtc
said: Il have had the hardihood not
only to doubt the divine perfection of
the present arrangement, bit to al
most believe the business of the Sen
ate could be distributed among its
ninety two members, instead of being
taken care of by less than onc-third
of this body"
Without debate and very few words
of explanation, the bill to remove the
obstacles standing in the way Of SEN
ator Knox becoming secretary Of
state, was passed by the Senate ON
the evening of the llth inst. But
the bill will probably not have as
smooth sailing in the House of Rep
resentatives. The chairman of the
judiciary Committee of the House
holds that there is no constitutional
remedy in Mr.. knoX's case and it is
limited that he will withdraw his ac-
ccptance of Mr.. Taft's invitation that
he enter the cabinet and will continue
to represent the state of Pennsylvania
in the Senate.
Although the Senate passed the
measure to repeal the salary increase
that was granted to the secretary of
state in 1908 without a word of OPP
position, Senators Overman and Kit
trcdge of the judiciary Committee
are known to question whether this
or any other legislative action could
cure the inelgibility of Mr.. Knox.
Other senators are doubtful as to the
efficacy of any measure, but scnat tor
ial courtesy was potent and the bill
was passed. There is, however, not
vestige of such courtesy in the
House and some republicans as well
as nearly all of the democrats, while
friendly to Senator Knox, hold tina
the constitution must be upheld in
this matter, regardless of how much
it may embarass the Presidentelect
in the formation of the cabinet.

and In these they will have to sit
down or stand up at their work as
the case may be. Innumerable colds,
perhaps a case of pneumonia, and now
and then death result from care
lessness on the part of householders
in the matter of Keeping the sidewalks
clean of snow.
1T Il; important, moreover, that
everybody attend to this duty, for
when one man in block negects
to clean his sidewalk when it ought
to be cleaned, that little strip of thir-
ty, sixty or one hundred feet, as the
case may be. may produce all of the
evils mentioned; and If there is a care
less or lazy man in one of half
dozen blocks the aggregate makes
enough to give feet and skirts a thor
ough soaking. 1t is only little mat
ter 1t only takes "a few minutes to
clean the average sidewalk even after
a hard storm, and there is never a
time when it Is so easy to clean as
right after the snow ceases to fall. Do
not take the risk of sending some one
to bed or to death by this neglect, and
do not let your sidewalk stand out
conspicuous in your block as the only
one that is not cleaned until after the
most of the damage has been done. The
experience of the last few days ought
to teach everybody how essential 1t is
10 clean the sidewalks thoroughly
every time there is storm, and to do
1t regardless Of the attitude of the
