The Legislature
ceed him.

With the session little more than half finished. legislature may be complimented on the volume of it's work so far It has been dligent and in the circumstances, has accomplished much than could been expected from the past performances of Arizona legislatures The first few weeks lacked the spur of a governor and might have been expected to mark time, but it did While particularly constructive legislation has far been attempted great deal of helpful legislation has been put under way It is the credit of the legislature that have been spared the freak stuff usually incident to ses sions of legislatures
 We moved to whatever of tribute may appear in the foregoing by publication by the Harrisburg correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger of the ord of the Pennsylvania legislature for about the period our legislature has now been in session. follows:
 Number of days since legislature convened-31.
 Number of days it has met--5.
 Time it has been in actual session-S hours and 45 minutes.
 Number of employees paid by the day-200.
 Average daily wage-s7.
 Total hours employees have been in attendance 1750
 Number of hours for which employees have been paid Cat A hours day)-14SSOO.
 Accomplishments of legisature-O
 Pennsylvania is one of the original thirteen states of the Union, so that it has had long period of training in the art of self government A business establishment conducted in the fashion set forth this record would have gone into bankruptcy long But political institutions do not go into bank ruptcy. They go and on whether they do much or little.
 People are always hoping that public business will be carried through with good judgment and promptly When one legislative body disappoints them they begin to hope that it's will do better. is round of hopes, disappointments and hopes Things do get themselves done and then and here and there. But generally speaking political bodies are slow coaches. As rule as Amer ican energy gets into the political field it is longer energy of the American kind any other kind It turns Oriental in its slowness and shfessness Little schemes pop up and the public business waits.
 It is odd that this should be year after year and generation after generation. Efficiency is much in the public mind just now but who has yet tried to teach efficiency politicians? Thats is task wishes to tackle. We do not suppose Pennsyl- vania is than her the transac- ton of the public business in the political way, though this year it happens be worse than Arizona

Lincoln

The figure of Abraham Lincoln looms more gigantic with the years It has been given to but few men Tn all the history of the world to increase after deat It has been given to but two oAmericans-Washihgton and Lincoln, and the greatness of the former during his lifetime and throughout the more than century that has elapsed since his death, has been subject of dispute The stature of Lincoln in the nearly two generations have passed since his death has steadily increased His greatness has been accepted as a fact He the supreme authority for Americans of all parties His wisdom by them has come to be regarded as beyond the wisdom of men. Questions that have arisen since his death which he could thought which could not have been foreseen by him. have been left to his arbtrament What would Lincoln have done?" means that his decision would been the final the unquestioned one It is assumed that whatever Lincoln would have done would have right thing whether dealing with the trusts the tariff any of the problems big or tte that have perplexed the community since Lincoln died.
 We have lately shown now not only Americans but the people of other lands have sought to conjure with the of great president British states and journalists have presented as the strongest protest against President Wilson's peace note the probability that Lincoln would have advised the allies to make peace in circumstances in which he himself could not have accepted peace.
 When Lincoln was dead his secretary nounced end in that rto forgotten utter ance He is with the ages" There never more prophetic statement. It could not have been under stood that gloomy April day. Stanton himself could not fully have grasped the meaning of those words We understand them clearly now. Lincoln belonged the republican party, not to the middle of the nineteenth century not to America. He belonged to all parties all countries and to all ages that suc- ceed him.

Now he belongs to the ages. Yes, to the ages and to all mankind, wher- ever the human, heart shall seek for freedom, wherever the oppressed shall rise against the oppressor, wherever man shall seek to establish or to maintain true national liberty, there they shall turn to Abraham Lincoln as their great example, their guide who will lead them on the path way of duty to glorious destiny.

HONEY MADE LIFE SWEET FOR THIS WOMAN

woman writing to Farm and Preside says in the January issue
 Dear. Editor When farming on the Missouri bottom lands always kept 25 to 30 stands bees In the spring the supers were put and the surplus in the fall strained and put away in fvegallon cans. At that time I didn't have any receipts for using honey in cooking. Nevertheless family of five and average of three hired found diff fculty in making of from 800 1000 pounds of honey the table each year.
 For three years butchered hogs or beef animals and the honey to extent took the place of meat during that time. Of course we bought some neat but. in the main honey meat jees, and preserves It seldom that there not dish of honey our table during those three years.
 T believe our family healthier when honey used abundantly than during the three previ years when used meat literally. Many peo- pie look on honey expensive luxury consider it necessary article of food. and sorry that am not in bee country. We trying sweet clover here now, and it to promise to give good suits for honey making. My husband liked honey in his coffee and sometimes used is cereals

Our Foolish Thermometer

If old Mir Fahrenheit's thermometer had taken as it's basis the dividing line between cold that 40 degrees below out Bismarck, North Dakota last week, would have been reported degrees frost Seventy two degrees of heat which is com- fortable and healthy house temperature, would by the rule, be marked down 40 degrees and thus even a child would know, any rate after his nose had been nipped by the frost just where he stood as between cold and heat
 Forty degrees of heat do not sound very comfort able for house purposes, but this is just what MT. Fahrenheit gives us. under the pretense that it is 72 degrees. This can easily be shown. thus: The 72 degrees of heat he has marked it. includes 32 de- of frost and by subtractng these 32 frost degrees from the pretended 2 degrees we have 40 heat degrees the actual house temperature in which most of us live. A similar correction made by beginning the frost line but by addition instead of by subtraction turns the 40 degrees below zero into an actual 72 degrees of frost
 MT Fahrenheit managed to befudde all the people who his hermometer-mainy English speaking peope-as to how warm they have to be in order to be comfortable, and how cold they can be and still keep going Both the Reaumur and the Centgrade thermometers mark the point where water freezes zero. This is natural and logical because when water freezes. you know that you have turned the corner from heat to cold The Reaumur thermometer divides the space between the points where water freezes and water bos into 80 degrees and the grade Celsius thermometer divides this space into 100 degrees. Thus temperature of 77 degrees of heat, marked the Fahrenheit thermometer is the exact equivalent of 25 degrees of Gen. tigrade and of 20 degrees the Reaumur
 Old Mir. Fahrenheit accomplished one result with his thermometer, and accomplished this almost com petely in this country. where the temperature goes extremes both in the direction heat and of cold He made all think that have to have nearly double the amount of heat that actually have in order to be comfortable and he reduced by the same measure the amount of cold that actually at times have to endure.

STRONGER BOXES MADE
FROM LESS MATERIAL

PORTLAND, March 13.-Thau u
much stronger box than the type or
dinarily used can be made with less
material by increasing the number of
nails and by properly proportioning
the thickness OF the sides and ends
has been demonstrated by engineers
of the Forest Products Laboratory. at
Madison, Wisconsin. A loss that
reaches many millions of dollars an
nually is, it is stated. caused by dam
age to goods in transit, largely be-
cause of faulty containers. The wood
experts of the forest service believe
that this loss can be decidedly de-
creased by better construction of the
boxes in which goods are shipped.
Changes in the design of boxes
which were recommended as a result
of the tests at the laboratory have
been adopted by several associations.
1t is stated that demonstrations at
recent meeting of the Gamers Asso-
citation of what has been done by the
forest service along these lines aroused
considerable interest among the man
ufacturers. Many of these men are
said to have expressed their intention
of carrying out the suggestions of the
laboratory experts.

AS for Russia's attitude, an idea is
gained from an article which the To

Better German peace than aid
from Japan is the way Russia looks
at the proposition, according to the
Nichi Nichi correspondent, who then
summed up his conclusions as fol-
l,lcws
"The Socialists. because Of their dis
like for monarchy. have poor opin-
ion of Japan. Since American partic-

shown all the more likely. The con
servatives maintain that rather than
endure the disgrace of Japan's assist
ence, Russia would suffer the indig
nifty CT making peace with Germany
/
The Socialists rarty fears the war
might be prolonged by the coming Of
japanese troops. The cadets declare
that japan might make undue de-
mands as compensation for her SER
