ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
(Keprlnted from the New York Hun of February 6. 1916.)
Lincoln's birthday this year differs from all preceding commemorations of the anniversary because there may be seen In the old church of Hlngham, England, where live generations of Abraham Lincoln's ancestors worship¬ ped before their emigration to Massa¬ chusetts, a tablet to his memory.
Nearly three hundred yeara ago these Puritan pioneers set forth from England and founded tUe settlement In Massachusetts named for the home¬ land vlllage. This year Is commemor¬ ated In the home church ot St. An¬ drew, the tie between the English fatherland and Its famous descendant.
Kvery schoolboy In the Uulted States Is or should be famllltr wltu the story of migrations of the Lincoln family from Virginia to Kentucky, where Lincoln was born, and on through Indiana to Illlnoifi, where the martyr President lived and Is now burled. But few have cared to go be¬ yond that point or have known the Interesting story of the ancestral Lln- colns; how setting forth from Hlng¬ ham, England, In 1637, led by the minister of historic St Andrew's, the band went to Massachusetts and founded their colony In the Puritan nursery of the New World; how Sam¬ uel Lincoln's son flnally l^t New Eng¬ land, lived a while In New Jersey and moved to Pennsylvania, where the family founded iron works still In ex¬ istence, later going on to Virginia, where they flrst come Into historical prominence, when Abraham Lincoln, the President's grandfather, for whom be was named, was killed hy the In¬ dians.
Thoee who now visit the flne old priory church of St. Andrew's at Hlngham, England, will find much of Interest both to Americans and to their English cousins. This year the ohureh has a double reason for cele¬ bration. Built In 1316, It passes Its 600th birthday anniversary this year, and this year also places on Its walls the tablet to that great descendant of the parish who has made the name of Lincoln historic.
One of the things which Interest the vlstor to this fourteenth century church le t^ font This Is not the one at which the pioneer band were baptl2ed. That original Is now In St. Stephen's church, Hlngham, Mass., and is probably the oldest font in the United States. It was sent to the United States in 1890 by the rector and people of tbe old Hlngham church as a gift to their cousins on the other aide ot the Atlantic.
One of the oldest records In the reg¬ istry book of St. Andrew's is that of the baptism of Samuel Lincoln. Thla Samuel was the ancestor of Abraham Lincoln. As a sturdy youth he was one of the band of Hlngham patriots who fought for freedom In their coun¬ try's wars, resenting the ceaseless en¬ croachments of the nobles, until "weary of forcing their hearts into orthodox bent, of being barked at by bishops and of tilling a soil they could never call their own" they set forth (taking balf of Hlngham with them) to land on the southern shore of Mas¬ sachusetts Bay.
After deciphering the curious old baptismal entry of Samuel Lincoln It Is but a step to that part of the an- oient church which holds the memor- fal bust and tablet to Abraham Lln- «oln.
At one side of the tablet is the famous Volk bust of Abraham Lincoln —always a favorite in the dead Presi- dent'a family—and the remainder of the space ia fliled with tbe Inscription, written hj the Rev. Dr. Milo Oates of New TortC;
The moat salient feature ot the In- acrlptlon Is the introduction of the world famoua words ot tbe Gettysburg speech. Those privileged to see thia tablet eroeted by the Lincoln Memor¬ ial Oofluattte* WlU 1^ gUd that these klatoiie phraasa havo formed such a

Thlrty-flve miles of the new Cham¬ plain canal bave been opened to navi¬ gation, and, before the cloM.'Of navi¬ gation this year, the entire canal will be open from Waterford to Whitehall with a navigable depth of 12 feet and a minimum width of 60 feet.
Elghty-alx additional mllee of the Erie canal wlll be opened when navi¬ gation is resumed thla prlng and next year the canal system will be in oper¬ ation from Waterford on the Hudson to Oswego on Lake Ontsoio.
The Cayuga-Seneca canal wlll be finished this year.
In 1918 the entire canal system will be completed.
The engineering expensee during the year Juet ended were $479,697.22 less than in 1914 and work proceeded more rapidly and efficiently.
These are some of the accomplish¬ ments of the State engineer's ofBce during the flrst year of State Engi¬ neer Frank M. Williams' present term.
A year ago, when he took over the offlce from a Democratic predecessor, Mr. Williams reorganised it by cut¬ ting out a lot of positions where work was duplicated and said he expected to save the State $400,000 In thc course of the year. His actual saving Ih much nearer $.500,000 than $100,000.
The rapidity which he Is bringing tills great work of tlie State to com¬ pletion li5 satisfactory evidence that thla large cut In the engineering ex¬ pense ol the offlee was justifled.
Nine canal terminals, have been completed and six more are under way and there will be unexpended balances.
Proper terminals are an important factor in the success of the great canal system and the State engineer aks that the unexpended balances for terminals be made available for con¬ structing additional terqjlnals.
There Is no provision fn the law for terminals between New York City and Alhany and the State engineer believes that these unexpended bal¬ ances might he nsed profitably to build some along the Hudson river.
While the new canal work Is get¬ ting settled there wlll be likely to be sliding of the banks in the canal¬ ized river and it Is recommended that the superintendent of public works be empowered to purchase necessary dredges to guard against the possible Interruption of trafflc.
At the four great terminals of the caiial—^Troy, Whltehallfl Oswego and Tonawanda—^^where it joins waters under the control of tho federal gov¬ ernment, the Legislature is urged to communicate with the federal govern¬ ment to expedite Its share of the work.
Other recommendations made by the State engineer Include the author¬ ization of the canal board to lease water power where there Is a surplus, the appropriation of $50,000 for com¬ pleting the survey of canal lands, $5,000 for miscellaneous surveys and $15,000 for continuing the geological survey when the United States gov¬ ernment shall have appropriated an equal amount.
The State engineer's report Is a very business-like document that states very explicitly what has been done during the year, outlines the de¬ partment's work for the coming year and merely Incidentally mentions a saving of practically half a million dollars.
sbonldn't the tone be non-partisan? When has there been any. partisan' di¬ vision on thia question? The princi¬ pal opposition on this question is right in the President's own party.
T0U0HEV8 MOBAL FIBBE.
At an informal luncheon of the Oa¬ wego County Republican Committee, the Hon. P. W. Culllnan called at¬ tention to the fact that for the flrst time In the history of the State, one senate district (the thirty-flfth. Os¬ wego and Jefferson counties) con- I tained both the Speaker of the As- I sembiy and the majority leader in the ' Senate, the most influential position^ I In the Legislature. Both Senator ' Brown and Speaker Sweet were prcs- I ent and both told the members of the county committee a few things about j the exacting duties of their respective positions. While Senator Brown comes from Jefferson county and Speaker Sweet from Oswego their po¬ sitions In the Legislature make them tbe representatives of the entire State ' rather than of any one countjr and they have to bear their burdens ac¬ cordingly. Being the buffer In their respective houses has had no injur¬ ious effect upon either tbe Senator or the Speaker but has merely served to toughen their moral flbre and de¬ velop their capacity for hard work.
President Wilson's non-partisan policy does not Include protection of American Industries, but more than one hundred American taxpayers have suffered from the present : .Imln- Istration's tariff policy to one that has benefltted by all of Its other policies
i combined.

SPREAD OF DISEASE.
I Against the spread of disease by , carriers a campaign of education is i essential to bring people to the realiz¬ ation of the dangers of the following: I Spitting in public places: so mucii , has been done to mitigate this filthy I practice that there is good hope that ; In the not-distant future it may be abolished.
Coughing and sneezing in public without the use of the handkerchief or hand hefore the mouth and nose is unquestionably a prolific means jof spreading infection ot many kinds. I The dangers of kissing on the mouth, especially of young and dell- : cate children.
The dangers from the common
I drinking cup and hand towel are now
pretty well understood, and they are
j being largely abolished In thinking
communities.
j Finally, there should be enforced j much more rigid rules for the proper cleaning of eating utensils, cups and I glas.';cs in restaurants and other pub¬
lic places.
DO WE WANT WILSON?
i "I have no criticism of President
j WUson so long as he shall stand for
I peace with honor. We are all wtth
^ him to a man. But I say what we
want now is a good square test In Mas-
j sachusetts whether the voters of this
j State desire a continuance of the
Democratic policies In Washington,"
said Samuel W. McCall in a speecn
during his campaign for Governor of
Massachusetts. Samuel W. McCall Is
now Governor of Massachusetts. He
asked the voters of his State for a
good, square test on the desirability
of continuing the Wilson policies In
j Washington and he got It. Next fall
I there wlll be another good square test
I throughout the country on this same
[question.
TARIFF INJUBIOUS.
PNEUMONIA.
Ten per cent, of the deaths in the United States result from pneumonia. "Take the tariff out of politics" j ^"^ ^^ estimated that during the past has a pleasing sound to many of the'*"""ly days this rate has been dou-
frlends of the present Federal admin¬ istration as election day approaches. One ot the loudest promises made by the Democrats in the 1912 campaign was that they were going to revise the tariff downward. Once In offlce they redeemed tliat promise by enact¬ ing the Underwood-Slmmons tariff
about taking the tariff out of politics. If ever a bill went through Congress under the crack of the party whip it was the Underwood-Slmmops bill. The complete failure of that law as a rev-
hlcJ in some sections. Tuberculosis aud heart disease, each causing one- alnth of all fatalities, are the only diseases which outrank pneumonia among the legion of the men of death, but In certain cities pneumonia Is steadily Increasing and even has siir- pawod the mortality from lubercv-
law. There wae nothing said then •''^"^- Seventy per cent, of ail cases
occur between December and May. It is ili"tlnctly a cold weather infec¬ tion, seemingly brought by wintry Masts, but especially prevalent dur¬ ing the winter season only because

and so were Its disastrous effects upon American manufacturing. The Under¬ wood-Simmons law has not been re- jpealed; none of Its defects has been remedied. It is recognized from one end of the eountry to the other as injurious to the American manufac-
tating influences and the presence of predisposing infections.
Pneumonia principally affects thoae at the extremes of life, but no age is exempt. It is Invariably a germ dis¬ ease. The predisposing and exciting organisms are so numerous that it

Democratic party will not repeal the Underwood tariff because tbat party believed In free trade. Talking about taking the tariff out of politics may comfort tbe present administration for the next nine montha but It won't Interfere with what is going to hap¬ pen at the expiration of that period.

tbe subject ot preparedneaa. Why incidence of pneumonia at this time
being largely due to the present epi¬ demic of la grippe. Individuals suf¬ fering from this infection are pecu¬ liarly susceptible to reaplratory com¬ plications and should projierly ob¬ serve every hygenlc rule. Inflamma¬ tion of the upper air passages, pharyngitis, bronchitis and toaailUtls. often predispose to the development of tbe disease, particularly among the aged and infirm. The acute contag¬ ious diseases of childhood, more es¬ pecially measles and whooping cough, frequently prepare the way for pneu¬ monia. Anyone who through neglect or carelessness permlta the spread of these infections is therefore open to the severest condemnation. Exhaust¬ ing disease of whatever nature, is often sufflcient to so reduce ^Blir re¬ sistance that we are unable to cope with organisms which should be eas¬ ily overcome, and hence predisposts to the Infection.
Debility, either temporary or chronic, developing from any cause. Increase susceptibility. Because of this the disease most often attacks those at the extremes of life. Among debilitating Influences must be men¬ tioned cold, exposure to penetrating winds, and the chilling of body sur¬ faces as a result of wetting. The combination of lack of food and fa¬ tigue proves particularly disastrous during the winter season and is a con¬ dition to be avoided whenever poi»- slble. Bad housing, mental or physi¬ cal harassment, and overwork are alike the advance agents of the in¬ fection. Overcrowding, In street cars, theatres, and other public places, is untiuestionably in part re¬ sponsible for the spread of pneumonia in cities, as far greater opportunity is thus OlTered for the dissemination of the predisposing diseases through in¬ discriminate coughing arid other means of droplet infection, as well as the directly injurious effects which inevitably result from exposure to such environment. The overheating of rooms is also seemingly harmful. Promiscuous expectoration may be, and probahly is, a factor in infection and consequently should he avoided by every citizen. ,\ remaining most important agent should be mentioned—alcohol. It is in truth tlie handmaiden of pneumonia, and there is none more certain or more sure of success, especially if liberally and continuously used.
While the foregoing facts consti¬ tute in part our knowledge of the rea¬ sons for the widespread dissemination of an infection which carries with It a mortality of from ten to thirty per cent. It should be remembered that our scientific data are not yet com¬ plete. There are problems connected with immunity, predisposition, and the occurrence of epidemics which art yet to be solved. It ie known that pneumonia frequently attacks those who are perfectly well, and who ap¬ parently have observed every hygienic rule. Whether this is, due to the in¬ creased virulence of the organism or to other causes is unexplained. It is, however, recognized that avoidance of the factors so briefly enumefAted will in large part diminish individ¬ ual susceptibility and therefore the incidence of the disease.
HICKS WEEKLY LETTER.
Sends Colored Chart of Metric System to Each School in District.
Washington, D. C.
In the Senate the week was largelj' taken up with a discussion of the Philippine Bill, together with speech¬ es on the Mexican situation and the embargo question.
In the House several Interesting debates took place between the op¬ ponents and advocates ' of national preparedness. Tbe delay in sending to Congress any bills providing for an Increase in our military and naval forces has been due to the amount of labor required in. preparing them.
Each committee before presenting a measure to Congress holds publlc hearings, at which time thoae Inter¬ ested are heard. Experts are also called to testify, eo that by the time a report Is rendered a vast amount of Information has been collected and re¬ viewed.
Owing to filibuster tactics flnaL action on the bill to prevent inter-^ state shipments of the products of chfld labor was carried over to the next week when it is hQt>ed this needed legislation In which I am in favor will be approved by the House.
To each school in the district I have sent a colored chart ot the met¬ ric system which I feel wlll be of assistance to the teachers and stu¬ dents.
Cordially, . FREDERICK C. HICKS.
TO BOOST mSUBANCE BATES.
Hempstead Citizens Indignant at llireat of Snborban Exchange,
Residents of Hempstead have been advised that tbe flre insurance rates are to be boosted in Hempstead, De- cause the Suburban Flre Insurance Exchange asserts the flre department Is not propertv equipped.
President Horsefleld has received a letter from the Suburban Insurance Company stating tnat Hempetead will have to have an Increase in rates If the demands of the exchange is not compiled with. There Is much indig¬ nation as a result of the letter. With but one exception .there have been no flres of any Importance In Hempstead In 20 years. "The exception was that of January, in Main street

PHYSICIANS AND UNDEBTAXEBS or ISLIP TOWN, SUFFOLK COUNTY, WITH "PULL" ALLE(i- £D TO HAVE PROFITED ON POOR
The poor of the town of Islip, Suf¬ folk County, have been accorded the "Bwellest " kind of fnuerale according to Eugene M. Travis, State Controller, who made a statment recently that funds appropriated for the relief of the poor were sometimes used in other than charity cases. Physicians and undertakers, apparently with a "pull," could present long overdue hills against persons who It Is sus¬ pected were not poor and receive pay¬ ment out of the town funds without any trouble, the controller's report says.
As a consequence Mr. Travis says the poor fund for Islip has jumped with leaps and bounds, until at the end of the last flscal year It amounted to more than $15,000. Mr. Travis' Investigation was conducted under the direction of Fred C. Reusswlg, Deputy Controller.
"As a result of his investigation there is a very strong suspicion that a large proportion of thla sum did not go to the deserving poor, but was pulled down' by physicians, under- taKers and others who had their bills, which they could not other¬ wise collect, paid out of the poor fund," the statement reads. "Un¬ der the old law the overseers of the poor were not allowed to pay more than $10 for the treatment of a poor person unable to be removed from his home."
At the suggestion of the controller fhe town officials have adopted new rules for expending the fund. The overseers are not allowed to expend more than $15 on each case and the supervisor is to have charge of all money. Furthermore, all accounts are to be audited before payment and the overseers can only approve the claims.

''SAFETY riBST.'*
Was it ever your lot on a bright sammer day
To visit Long Beaeh. and to wander along By the incoming tide. Vreaklng down Into spray:
And It aeemed to be humming a welcoming song? And the breeze from the ocean was fanning your cheek, '
Whilst you gazed far away o'er that fathomless reach; And you gladly decided you never would seek
To flnd some mpre beautiful place tban Long Beaeh. And yet, whilst ydu surely enjoyed yourself there, , You looked back with dread at tbat dangerous way. With two railroad crossings; and out of repair.
That's the way that you took on that bright summer dayt Now, would you not like a flne boulevard made
Which you and your wife and your children could take Witb safety and pleasure and not be afraid
Tbat in taking that road a worse step you would make? And this makes me think—there's a land of good cheer, ¦^ A million times flner than lovely Long Beach. It lies at the end of life's Journey down here;
And I wish that blest home you may all of you reach. The road that leads fo it was made long ago
There is no other way; He who made It is true; And because He bas said it it surely is so.
It will guide you In safety the whole Journey through. Ah! He made it Himself in His anguish and pain;
And it cost Him so much; but to all it Is free. If you will tkke tbat true path a blest home you will gain;
And your heart wlll rejoice when the Saviour you see! Freeport, Jan. 20, 1916. THOMAS H. GILMORE.
SHITHYILLE SOUTH EPISCOPAL HISSION RESDHES SUNDAY NIGHT CHURCH SER¥ICE&
The Town Board met at Hempstead on Tuesday, all members being pres¬ ent. The minutes of the last regular meeting and one special meeting at the Court House, Mineola, with a few minor corrections were approved as read. It was noted from the min¬ utes that the ne.xt meeting of the Board of Health ot the town would be held at Hempstead on Feb, 21st, and that Dr. Frank Overton had been invited to be present.
A report of the Queens Borough Gas and Electric Co., relative to lights in the Hewlett-Woodmere Lighting District, O.Ked by the Lighting Com¬ missioners, was received and flled.
A petition of 4 9 resident taxpayers of Malverne requested the establish¬ ment of a special lighting district was received and flled. Alfred H. Wagg and Wm. Cornell addressed the hoard on the petition. Upon the mo¬ tion of Justice Raislg, it was decided to hold a special meeting of the board at Firemen's Hall, Malverne, on Feb. 24th, to consider the petition.
The question of the Receiver of Taxes Bond was again taken up and a communication received and read from Representative Field of the Aetna Indemnity and Liability Co., (iffering to furnish the bond of $200,- 000 at a premium of $1,000. Since thla was considerably less than a for¬ mer quotation, Mr. Field was directed to submit the bond in its proper form at the next meeting.
It was unofflclally stated at tbe meeting that the Receiver of Taxes, Joseph H. Foster, would commence collection on or about Feb. 23rd.
The following resolution was adopted: "Pursuant to a request of the Town Clerk of the Town of Hemp¬ stead, be It resolved that the Hon. Thomas A. McWhinney, Assembly¬ man, be and he hereby le requested to take necessary steps to provide for the placing of the Town Clerk of the Town of Hempstead, N. Y., on a aal¬ ary, to be flxed by the Town Board of aald town In an amount not to ex¬ ceed $3500 per annum and that the said town clerk be allowed a deputy clerk to be appointed by him at a salary to be flxed by the Town Board of the Town of Hempstead In an amount not to exceed $1500 per annum.
Following the board adjourned.
The flourishing Episcopal mib- slon resumed its evening services last Sunday at 7.30 o'clock, at the athletic club house. A large congregation greeted Archdeacon Roy Farrell Duf¬ fleld of Garden City Cathedral, and Mr. Julius Adelbert Smith, the min¬ ister in charge of the mission and Sunday school. Rev. Mr. Duffleld's sermon was taken from the text: "There is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner that repenteth," and was delivered with a pathos and sin¬ cerity that touched the heart of every Christian present The offertory, Mrs, L. C. Llndan's famous endless chain hymn, 'Charity" fdedlcated to the Free Masons)." was most beautitull> rendered by the soprano of the choir, Mrs. Julia O'Keefe, The children of the Sunday school, whose number Is legion, are now vleing with each other to obtain the silver and gold bar pins for punctual attendance at 3.15. The church fund is growing from an "acorn ti> the oak tree." This Episcopal mission Is the nearest with¬ in a radius of several miles. The ground for the prospective church wa«5 donated by Mr. Cadman H. Fred¬ erick, who no doubt understands a good church builds a promising com¬ munity. Archdeacon Duffleld has se¬ lected a site on Bellmore avenue. Services at the club house are now j held as follows: Sunday school, 3.15 to 4.15 p. m.; evening prayer and sermon, beginning at 7.30 o'clock.
