ELIOT ON LINCOLN.

Ex-President Charles W. Eliot OF
Harvard continues to attract attent-
ion II not always commentator. In
an address before the Massachusetts,
Federation of Women's Clubs on
civil service reform President Eliot
declared that many OF the appoint
ments of President Lincoln in 1861
were shocking. DR.. Eliot is quoted as
follows:
I'm talking Of 1851 we must remember
that these shocking appointments were
made by Lincoln for purely political rta-
sons. can't think OF anything so shock
ing done by recent Presidents. At that
time tn moral sense OF the community
mad not been aroused, and IL was the
custom OF the time To make appoint
ments FOR political purposes President
Lincoln hrst appointee as secretary Of
war. simon Cameron. was so corrupt and
80 incompetent that he lost his Job at
the end OF three months"
Abraham Lincoln was a home made
patriot. He lived in an age that call
ed for quick thought and vigorous
action. Undoubtedly he made mis-
takes. but it is equally certain that
his energy. patriotism. courage and
tact did much to save the American
Union. He did not have the advant-
ages OF an education at Harvard.
Measured by Massachusetts, stand
ards Abraham Lincoln was a crude
and unculNred man. but It is hard tn
repress a feeling OF resentment, when
his great work is criticized by a
dilletante. who never in a long life. has
wrestled with more serious problems
than are to be found in a Greek
Grammar.

but Tom Johnson's greatest work was
not In breaking up the street car
monopoly in Cleveland. and in secur-
ing low transportation rates. His
public life was a splendid exempli-
hcation OF devotion 10 ideals, OF sim
cere and earnest effort to serve the
whole people. Like every man who
stands out against corporate greed,
who braves the entrenched forces OF
privilege and class. Tom Johnson was
assailed. maligned. slandered, but
from all the abuse and misrepresent-
ation' his character stands forth,
massive, rugged and honest. He was
true to his ideals and true to himself.
The influence OF such lives as his
is often greater than their mere
achievements.

AS TO FILTRATION.

Filtration is undoubtedly desirable
not TO say necessary. Year By year
the sources OF water supplies for the
City Of Wheeling become more and
more contaminated. The continual
growth OF the Ohio Valley in
Industry and population will con
stantly add an increasing amount
Of impurities 20 the river. Eventu-
ally We must face the filtration
problem and probably we will never
be in better position 70 do Il than
now. Competent engineers who have
looked over the field state that in
the deposits Of gravel in the river

filtration beds. which need only 20
be utilized properly TO furnish an
unlimited supply Of clear and pure
water. II this IS the case. what f.
