and accuracy of judgment, but not of
genius or extraordinary ability. That
is all, in the main, true of him; but
as matter of fact, he was of warm
blood and prone to passion, as his
contemporaries agree. He is even
known to have sworn like a trooper
at times. And his face was pitted,

him; but after he had listened pa

was safe and sound"

The character of Lincoln was diff
ferent. He also lived in a great time
amidst great events and surrounded
by great men. who did great things,
all of which is epitomized or apoth-
eosized in him. But when we look to
see the actual things which he per

was in that respect contrast to that
of Washington. He signed the Eman

momentous fact in history. But il

considered. Several victories had

considered the freight service of the
New Haven and Boston and Maine
less reliable and expeditions than

it less important whether or not the

he had no desire to see any special

road. Asked if he preferred to have

EGGS BY PARCELS POST
New York Housewives League Pro-
pose New Weapon of Defense

New York Dec. 12.-Apples, fresh
eggs and butter direct from the farm
to the housewife by parcels post to
reach half a million homes in New
York and its environs-this is the
newest plan, announced today, of
Mrs Julian Health, president of the
National Housewives league. Mrs.
Heath says her plan will become op-
erative, 10 some extent, on January
/, when the mails are opened to par
GELS post packages. Thereafter she
expects a vastly increasing volume
of farm products reaching New York
housewives through the new chan.
mel
Mrs. Heath's plan to eliminate the
middleman involved the creation Of
a registry committee, which already
has listed the farmers within the so
mile zone. The rolls will be open TO
all housekeepers who wish to obtain
fresh products at small cost. The
league will work in harmony with
the state grange, Mrs. Heath declar-
ed.
Mrs. Heath believes that the farm
ers will receive more for their pro-
duce than they now receive from
dealers and commission men, while
the consumers will get fresh food at
lower prices than those now charged
The plan will be extended, Mrs
Heath said, to include vegetables in
season.

Here is a fair and reasonable
statement of a plain duty of the leg
islature as expressed by the Ran
dolph Herald and News:
1--WE don't know the cause of the
apparent indisposition of the legisla
ture to fulfill the Republican plat
form provision in regard to factory
inspection, but suspect it comes from
two quarters; first, the parties who
don't want to be inspected, which IS
natural but not convincing, anu,
second, those members who don't
went to see state offices multiplied
anl expense increased, which is ma
tural, too, but not conclusive. 1t
may appear that It is unnecessary to
have one or more factory inspectors
to carry out the laws respecting
hours and conditions of employment,
and that the regular law enforcement
machinery insufficient. 1t is not, as
experience proves And if it were
true of factories, why not equally
true in other directions? If 1t is
necessary to have state commits
sloner, with a large and expensive
corps of county and town wardens,
TO see that somebody doesn't kill a
squirrel out of season nor catch a
trout five and three-quarters inches
long: if the same is equally true
regarding the costly inspection of
weights and measures lest somebody
get cheated; or even if it is also true
that our savings banks and trust
companies ought to be permitted to
follow the laws as they see At, sub
jet to such cursory direction as
states attorneys and grand juries
and other regular officers can give
them-then and then only should the
protection of the men and women
and children OF the state engaged in
factory labor be left solely to the
same agencies"
