LONDON times" ON LINCOLN.

Half century ago on both sides the
water Abraham Lincoln was the subject
of the most merciless castigations. The
Times found him dishonest to his coun-
try" called him "the Moloch of slaugh-
ter and devastation. repeatedly asserted
that be was despot, speculated upon
the probability that his name in the fut-
ure would be classed with those of
monsters, wholesale assassins and
butchers, called the emancipation pro-
clamation RECKLESS bid for support, "
pronounced the inaugural address "the
most -blooded political document ever
published" and INDUCED in much more
rhetoric of the same sort.
The leading editorial in recent issue
of the Times begins with long reference
to the same man as "the greatest and
the noblest leader whom democracy has
yet given to the world" The editorial
says that "many rulers of more splendid
intellect and of cultivation UNNECESSARILY
superior have directed the affairs of great
S ates on both sides of the Atlantic, but
none has accomplished a mightier work
in the annals of human progress, and
none is enshrined more surely for all
time in the grateful memory of his coun-
trymen. boston Herald, May 9th.

WHY NOT CLEAN UPa

A man adds to the value of his proper
ty many fold by making it as attractive
as possible. If the property owner keeps
his premises looking neat and tidy, it
presents far better appearance than
another lot of property located perhaps
in more central place and will bring a
higher price in the realty market. If
every property owner would be more
particular about the way his premises
are kept, the entire community would
be better off. 1t would not only increase
the value of property, but it would at
tract people to that section and give a
market to other properties. A town
can only be kept attractive by reason of
Individual effort. No matter what the
municipal authorities may do in the way
of keeping the streets clean and public
places free from rubbish, the town will
not present the best appearance unless
every individual property owner or
householder gives attention TO his own
premises. Exchange.

4 HEN AMONG THE PATIENTS.

The number of cases being treated at
the Angel Memorial Hospital of the
MASSACHUSETTS, S. P. C. A.. has necessi-
tated the building of additional kennels
for dogs under treatment: Operations are
performed almost daily.
A notable example of surgery was a
Caesarian operation performed recently
by Drs. Frank J.. Flanagan and H. F.
DALEY on a valuable French bull dog.
The dog recovered from the operation
within a short time and assumed personal
care of four splendid puppies. The ami
NAL is a valuable one and her owner
feared she would die unless an operation
was performed. The dog will be able to
leave the hospital in few days.
During April 120 cases were entered at
the hospital, and of this number So were
dogs, Is cats, IS horses, one bird and
one hen. In the same period there
were 296 dispensary cases, of which 100
were dogs, 81 horses, five bros and one
unclassifed. In addition 20 cases were
prescribed for by correspondence. The
hospital and dispensary work for the past
month shows large increase over that
of the first month the hospital was open.

The Lesson of Littlefeld's Life
TFrom the Detroit Free Press. !

FROM tn0 DeLrOlC free ffeSSs
Charles E. Littleield might have attained
high place in our political system, for he had
passed the most difficult of all stages to sue
cess along that road, having overcome the
early difficulties that defeat many careers and
beiI recognized man to be watched and
to be taken into account by those who play the
game Of politics. He surrendered the pro-
spective success because he felt it his duty to
make provision for his old age and for his FAM
lily. At fifty. five he resumed the practice of
his profession in order that he might accumu-
late competence.
1t is not the political honor he won that
stands out as the lesson in Littlefeld's life, al
though his political honor was not slight. even
when he cut off his public service premature
ly. Nor is the lesson his vigor and success in
openly opposing the abuses of both capital
and labor, although he made name as a trust
buster and as an Incorporating foe of mis-
directed unionism. 1t is rather the old lesson
of life's uncertainties that is to be read from
this broken career Littlefeld planned to de-
vote some fifteen years of his productive
period to providing against the uncertainties
of life and the greatest of all uncertainties
has frustrated his plans.
We myopic mortals who cannot see day
ahead into the future must not for our blind.
ness neglect to make what provision we may
for that futures needs, but in our plans we
cannot lose sight of the tenuity of our hold on
life. We can but do our best and take whal
comes with courage when it does come.
The Republican journal., 1915-05-20

has spurned Congressman Gardner's al
legations and denounced the alligator.
His letter reads like bill of specifica-
lions in an application for patent. One
would think from reading it that jose
plus Daniels discovered the United
States navy, or had invented it, or at
any rate had a copyright on it. AS
matter of fact he has hardly yet recov-
cred from the shock of learning that
warships are hollow. There was some
considerable of navy long before Cleve-
land first appointed Josephus to nine
hundred dollar clerkship in one of the
departments and there will be some
considerable of navy long after jose
phus has been ''rusticated" back to
Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Daniels letter bristles with statis-
tics. AS Abe Martin says, Triggers
don't lie, but they can sometimes be ar
ranged to serve the same purpose. The
whole effect of the letter is like that of
tilm of sea battle pictures run OFT IN
the scenic setting of Bronx Park movie
studio. 1t is picturesque, but not con-
vincing. 1t contains nothing that is new
or startling; and, except in one particu-
lar. is based upon conditions which ex-
listed in the navy during its period of
expansion under Republican legislation.
This one particular is essentially Demo-
cratic and there is no disposition, IN
Washington at any rate, to deprive the
Wilson administration of the glory of it.
The Daniels letter points out that, since
he took charge of the navy, the enlisted
strength has been recruited up the pres
ent total of more than SO, 900 men, and
that 1924 of these-or twelve per cent
have been taken on since March l, 1914.
1t is no secret in army and navy circles
that recruiting is always more brisk in
time of peace when there is general I'M
employment. Ours is not pugnacious
people and our citizens generally prefer
civil to military life. When there is
plenty of work ashore there is no rush
to get into the navy. But when there
are no jobs in the shops men are willing
to 90 on shipboard. The five thousand
enlisted men whom the navy has taken
on in the last year constitute five thou
sand proofs of the disastrous effects OF
Democratic policies ashore; and acute
observers here wonder that some of the
alert and foxy newspaper men who help
ed Josephus write his letter, ever per-
mitted such emphasis to be placed on
this item, which is a direct and positive
admission that Democratic tariff law
has driven American labor from the
factory to the forecastle.

From the New York SUM

J No man ever sat in Congress more fearless
ly independents more Intellectually honest, than
Charles Edgar Littleield of Maine and later of
New York city. In that distinguished group
from the Dirigo State he was the latest conner.
and in some qualities of mind and morals per-
haps the most remarkable. Blaine, Reed,
! Dlngley were all slower in getting to the front
than Littlefeld. By force of the generous
courage of his movements in politics in the
! larger sense and his genuine contempt for and
poverty of resource in politics in the smaller
and personal sense. he acquired reputation
unique in his generation. Perhaps Littleield's
finest monument is to be found in those pages
of the Record where the issue on roll call was
between inconvenient conscience and STAN
pede of supposed expediency. No person ever
! doubted his readiness to stand till doomsday, if
necessary, in minority of one; and yet we
don't believe that nybody ever called him
crank or SO thought of him.
Mr.. Littleield, both during his ten years in
Congress and in his law practice was pro-
digious worker, and in court as in forum a
speaker of inimitable directness and force.
HIS mind was both acute and vigorous. That
he did not pull we'll with party or caucus need
scarcely be noted. His confidence in his judg-
ment, it may be said without offence. was SO
hrm that when the Supreme Court rendered in
the great insular cases decisions Numerically
opposed to the opinion which Mr.. Littlefield
had formed the circumstance did not disturb
him in the least. He took the first available
public occason-it was IN his address before
the American Bar Association at Denver-to
review the judgment of the Supreme Court
and to explain why he could not accept it. In
his personal characteristics he was entirely
amiable.
