The one taught God's en during truths and preached the gospel of love ami service; the .other exemplified that gospel in all his ways, and while the teachlngs'of Jestis sIliHC .with the radiance of revealed religion, those'ibf Lincoln irp tallowed because of the effective application they make of that religion to 4lie ordinary affairs of life. ? It may be that this is the reason Lincoln stands pre-eminent as an American. - Our coun try has bad orators more gifted, statesman more able', philosophers more profound,' and warriors more eminent than him, yet. in. thai heart of the people all around the1 world no other NAmerican nameis enshrined as holy as that of Abraham Lincoln. Washington well deserves the panegyric, "first in w,ar, first in peace,", but it may well be doubted if be, remains today first in the hearts of. his countrymen; Lincoln's ap peal was and is to the masses. Not because he' had" any oi the quality of the 'demagogue; no man more honest, more, courageous when once, he had determined the right, course, ever served the public. Abraham Lincoln could sense ; the right, could feel the right," and then could imparUj . f a . e ' . . - "1 10 inose aDOut ,mm tnat sense and reeling whiclt enabled him to1 establish the right as far as hu-. manly possible.

Yet riot one of these admiring'speakers wifl touch the springs' that responded to the voice of the great man, who forgot his own griefs ' to sympathize v.

Lincoln's words' should flamt in American hearts today as fhey have W ho time since he uttered thtim.

J Siuv-fiJc Jm intIa,ichestet declares: ' . -; y ? . By closing down mills and mines the out put ot steel and iron, following the armistice, was reduced approximately one-fourth for the purpose of enabling manufacturers and miners toobtain. because of the insistent and, per emptory nemand for coal and iron, the exorbitant profits realized during the war. in stead of the more moderate profits which they' would have Jo accept if the maximum output had been maintained. v 1 . While the profits of steel manufacturers and coal operators were swollen, the country , . f 1 1 r . . Decame poorer irom lactc oi prouucnou, brought about by the unnecessary closing down of mills' and mines and the incidental idleness of labor. As steel and iron are so largely at the very foundation of industrial activity and business development: it is essential that the prices of these fundamental products .Should Come, down to a fair, just and normal basis if we are again to attain the prosperity for which we hope. In face of this statement of a particular coiidi tion, the comptroller -finds -every reason to anticipate an early resumption-of prosperity. This confident view could not be taken if any one of the great basic industries were tohold its product-at a price out of proportion to the general level. If prices of goods and of labor are to remain somewhere near the height of 1919. Judge Gar may be able to make good his inten tions, but otherwise time will prove him wrong. Printing Offices as Manufactories, While sympathizing with the general purport of the supreme court's' decision in regard to the female labor law, we can not I accept . its view that a newspaper printing office, is not a manu facturing establishment. . If the changing of raw material into a finished and Rateable product is not a manutactunng operation, -we are at a loss for a correct definhion. That the prime pur pose o a newspaper is to dispense news ind general information of a useful character tan: not be disputed. News, however, is of an m- tangible nature, and is so dealrVith, even by the courts. Its collection and distribution, however, is a legitimate business, carried on under the protection of the law and generally recognized as one of the' great necessities of civilized ex istence.. The second function of a newspaper, that of affording publicity for the mformation of readers as to where to purchase goods and the lil.is so intimately connected with its main purpose that ifs difficult io'draw a' line between what is advertising" .pure and simple ar.dwhat is legitimate news. Yet both of these are a service that the public can nc dispense with,' To pre pare -the' taper for thenuse' of 'the. patron is a manufacturing process per: se, and.no amount of "sophistry'' can alter, that fact A newspaper is a magnificent blend of mental and mechanciat effort.- We accept the: implied compliment con tained in the opinion presented by Judge Ffans burg, but would feel more certain the cor reefhess of his conclusion as to the law if he had ipund another of several good reasons for permitting the employment of wdmen'at night work under conditiops that do not militate against personal health or public safety.- One Judge: Two Paymasters. - The attorney general oi the United Stales; gives his opinion to the effect that" nothing in the law prevents a federal judge frdm drawing a salary from anotfter'employer. This has especial reference to Kenesaw Mountain Landiswho has accepted the. position of monitor ,for professional base ball, at a salary several times higher than that he receives as a federal district judge. 'Nothing in the constitution forbids the fed eral judge from taking other employment; the" framed of the venerable fundamental law of the ,United State . could Inot "conceive that' such a condition ever would exist. Itvdid not occur to them that ome,tune .in thrhistory of our coun try such an institution as professional, base ball w:ould spring up, or that its promoters would find the heed of having an honored name con nected with their businesTin order to 'assure the public of its probity. . Vet everything mustave' a (first time, and Judge Landia. now appears be fore, the1 world as, the first federal judge to re ceive pay checks from two employers, one the public and the other a combination that is trying to restore itself to a place in 'public confidence. Why should the public wonder at the multi-T plicity of laws, designed, -to regulate every act of life, even to' the minutest' detail, when' it is necessary to enact a law to prevent a judge from trying to serve two paymasters?

In Hunter's studies of the'death rate among' under average risks in sured In-a large number pt lhauri ance compafties It was found ' that 13 occupations were.. hazardous. inose In hazardous occupations were railroad .men. .. liquor ; dealers. eieciricai wwrKers, ractory workers, chauffeurs, and workers .connected with automobiles, miners and those connected with mines, steel workers, police and fire department employes, ship and dock builders, theatrical and moving picture employes, la borers and longshoremen, bulldinr tiiiu ouier, construction worKers. The other,. 11 occuDations could I not be very, hazardous, since 25- per i cent oi tne entire number were en- gaged in occupations having to do xwith the manufacture and' sale of liquors. Hunter says that prohibi tion has almost, though not altogeth er, eliminated this hazard. Ex perience showed that those who ad mitted taking two or. more drinks a day steadily, but said- they did not get drunk, had a mortality rate 85 per cent above the normal. Those who admitted one drink a day had a rate 18 per cent above the normal. Those who got occasional drinks had an extra mortality of .40 I n i a jer ceni. inose wno tormeny got on drunks, but-had been on the water wagon for five years, had an extra mortality of 45 per cent.
