THURSDAY, FEB. 12, 1914.


Y Abraham Lincoln, who was born 1O5
years ago today, Is still doing a mighty
work in this world, although his spirit
stook its departure many years ago.
in fact, it may be, when the final bal
ances are struck and things are plac-
ed at their true value and not as they
appear to be, the influence and in
aspiration Of that splendid life may
outweigh even the wonderful per-
formances Of Lincoln while on this
earth, tremendous and potent rs his
life work was.
= What makes Lincoln tower aloft as
one of the noblest figures in history?
He had d mighty brain, a powerful
will, a wonderful personality, but he
had something more potent, more
magnificent, moro to be desired than
any of these things, something which
is within the grasp Of every human
being-character.
Lincoln was fortunate in his lowly
birth, and in the hardships and pri-
vations of his early life. True, this
is not the usual assertion, but The Fo-
rum repeats he was fortunate-far
more fortunate han is the youth who
is born with a golden spoon in his
mouth. The latter faces a severer test
if he is to build a character as rugged
and powerful as that possessed by the
great emancipation, than does a youth
born and reared as was Lincoln.
Here is the lesson that should be
scared into the brain of every youth,
yes and every parent, on this anniver-

sons enemies have resurrected a for
gotten federal statute that prevents a
congressman from drawing his salary
If he is absent from sessions Of con-
gress for any reason except sickness,
and have asked it's operation against
Hobson, who is in his own state cam
paigning for the senatorial nominal
ton. 1t will be enforced. This
is a time for all ambitious congress-
men to come to h aid of their salary.

Social Consistency,

Chicago Post: Society permits teTe-
ments and sweatshops, and it builds
sanitariums. The latter are quite I'M
necessary and their expense might just
as we'll be saved.
The reason for this slight discon-
certing fact has been discovered
through an investigation by the Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women Of New York. 1t
is very simple. The t~uberculous are
sent to sanitariums until their symp-
toms are suppressed and they are able
to hold their own. Then they are turn
ed loose-for the tenement and he
sweatshop to swallow up.
AS a result the number of deaths
after discharge from the sanitarium is
steadily on the increase.
Consistent, isn't it?

Amazing Females of Chicago.

New York Tribune: Some Of the
arguments made against women's vot-
ing are as absurd as some put forward
in its favor. There is the assertion,
for instance. that women will not vote
because they will not tell their, age.
Some $4,000 women Of Chicago have
now cheerfully rebutted this noble ar
gument and apparently without much
anguish of heart either.
The whole days work in Chicago's
experiment with suffrage goes to sup
port the rather reasonable view that
women are human beings, astonish-
ingly like men in many respects, and
bringing to the ballot anything but a
strange, wild point of view. The
amazing females of Chicago certainly
do not increase ones dread of suf-
frage. Rather they raise the old and
fundamental query Of why the voting
lists should be doubled for SO slight a
change in the ideas represented.

Since the war started but little att tenton Is being given to baseball al- though there is no evidence that the real fan is disturbed as much over Carranza's letter as they are over when Joe Wood of the Boston Red Mathewson has been knocked out of the box, Walter Johnson has been beaten, so has Jeff Tesreau and the fans are wondering what more as- tonishing events will happen during the season.
 The New Britain team will report next week and on Tuesday our old enemy, Hartford, will pay us a visit. There has been nothing which gives g. local team such complete test for skill as game with Hartford. New Britain is established, but to be beaten means the widening of the breach and a greater thirst for blood than ever. Let Us hope that there Will De no such result next IueSOay. What New Britain wants is good team and good conduct on the part of the players off as we'll as on the field. The city is we'll able to support good team and if there is any slipup it will be the fault of the players.
 New Britain is large enough to create a real live interest in outdoor games, it has turned out number of gcod athletes in the past and there is a general impression that there is plenty of talent here now awaiting de- velorment. There was time when we had the best sprinters in the state, and 1t was not so many years ago that 1t had one of the best, if not the best, basketball teams in the country in this city This has nothing to do with upporting a baseball team here now, but it does show that interest in sports should not become dormant, but, on the contrary, should be encouraged.

BEEF STEW CAUSES STRIKE.

Are the chefs losing their skill, has so muddled their brain that they can no longer provide the old ones which mother used to make and which caused father to lick his chops and work with a zeal that was character istic of the age. It was only recently that Dr. Wiley made an attack upon that renowned New England dish, naince pie, and yesterday that more staple dish, beef stew caused a strike in Sing Sing prison. Some people may turn up their noses at this action but :t really calls for deep thought and perhaps reform.
 A beef stew contains many nouTish- ing ingredients and in this respect it is somewhat related to hash, which is made up of a little of everything and 10 one who understands foodstuffs will dare to cast aspersion on that. But we ask in all sincerity what kind of stew was served in Sing Sing yes terday that should have caused a strike among the inmates? Has the chef lost his cunning, or did he will fully and with malice aforethought serve dish under the guise of beef stew and say 1t was the real thing? If he did then the prisoners were justified in their kick. Some people are becoming so finicky nowadays as regards food that they want only those dishes that are served with green leaves on the side so as to make it look nice while the real epicurean wants his in the old fashioned way and will kick up his heels if he does not get it. A beef stew can no more be tempered with than can a pump kin pie. There is only one way to make either and that is the right way. There is only one formula and 1t should be pasted up in every kitchen.
