cApwELL,s DEFEAT.

Governor Baldwin stands today, a defeated champion of William H. Cad well for state highway commissioner. The senate in it's rejectment of his name for the ofiice followed the action of the previous general assembly and it was such action as was anticipated, and which it was justified in taking. MT. Caldwell is unsatisfactory to many of the democrats and to have him whipped into line to the support of the pet nominee of the governor in his personal ambition to defeat the pres eut highway commissioner would have been placing party before the best in terests of the state.
 The executive session demonstrated that MT. Caldwell could not win. The report of the investigation committees was against him and so was the strength of the senate. Governor Bald win could have changed conditions by withdrawing his nomination, but he failed to do so. He preferred to hold to the idea that the senate must side with him On the grounds that his candidate was not competent for the of1ce and with little experience in road building. and none in over five years, he went down to defeat
 The course of the governor ren1ain to be determined Will he bring forth another, after having insisted upon Caldwell for two sessions, or will the result be the appointment of com mission, with the present commission sr thereon, te handle the road build Ing of the statey Surely MT Mac Donald has the experience which the state cannot afford to lose. He is rec egnized as a road builder of the best class and Connecticut makes a mis- take when 1t attempts to discard such valuable official Apparently it is inclined to consider such as an asset and profit therefrom, a course which Is wise and businessIike.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Today all the country pays tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. one of the countryss greatest men and one whose life is an inspiration to every person, an example of what can be obtained and attained by honest application and righteous conduct. Lincoln did not always receive the unanimous endorsement of the nation. Ear from it. There were days when he was opposed strenuously at every turn hot right and his strength of char 6cter prevailed. but never till his death and subsequent consideration of his WoFk was 1t realized so extensively what a great man had been permitted to lead the nation.
 Abraham Lincoln had humble be- ginning. but he was endowed with the courage surrounded with the proper influences and set before himself the high Ideals which are so necessary to win. His education came as the result of hard effort, determination and the taking advantage of even the limited opportunities which came his way. From this humble beginning and the surmounting of difficulties, which boys of today have to give little con cern to. he went to the top.
 Lincoins gift to the nation through his character stands today as a colos- sal monument which ever serves to perpetuate his memory. His life stands as one of the great examples of accomplishment from which great lessons of life have been and will con tinue to be drawn.
 Persistency, pluck, honesty of pur- pose and determination that right should prevail were vital forces in his strong character and his life showed his belief that where there's 8 will there's a way, and made him the exponent of the highest type of American citizenship.

EDISON AND WORK

In his declaration that four hours sleep Is enough Thomas A. Edison at his sixty sixth anniversary is himself the greatest example of its applica- ton. His declaration fits his own case but t'world prove difficult task for the average man to confine himself to those hours. Those who have a right to say declare that work hurts no man, but it must be considered that this applies to A reasonable amount of it. There is harm in overwork as there is in oversleep. There needs to be an adjustment of hours between work, recreation and sleep for the nor mai person.
 In reference to Mir. Edison's plan the New York Herald well observes "It is an illustration of the well known fact that workers who are deeply in terested in their work are very often. indeed almost as a rule, long flyers Many of them, like Humboldt at the age of ninety, might well say that they really did not think that they could find time to die So long as MT. Edi- son continues to work we may expect him to be active and vigorous and have many years ahead of him. If he should stop there would be danger. Men as we'll as machines rust out sooner than they wear out. Their work. however, must not be mere routine without in terest but must be thoroughly full of occupation of mind as well as body. and then their life. barring accident or contagious disease-which is, after all entirely accidental--is almost sure to be prolonged beyond the limits often set for human existence"
 MT. Edison's recreation is bound up with his work. It is there that he takes his greatest pleasures. Others would find it a most taxing strain 10 en- deavor to follow his routine. Many men of ninety hold that work does no harm even at their age, but they hold to the early to bed and early to rise r1le

tors in the Missouri state prison, has
announced that the company will
erect factories at st. Louis and Pueb-

both cities and buildings will be erect
ed at once and machinery installed.
This move indicates the beginning
Of the end of the contract system in
the penitentiary, 1t Is believed. The
Sullivan company will renew its con-
tract for convicts for two years from
July /, 1914, but the uncertainty as to
whether the system will be continued
beyond that time made 1t necessary
to provide against the time when 1t
would cease to exist.
Mr.. Hays said installation of facto-
ries by his company in st. Louis and
Pueblo meant that they would leave
