To its already fine Lincoln collec-
tion, the (society has added. on this
anniversary. for the first time. some
remarkable bits of Lincoln's environ;
ment that give glimpses of his life.
Most illuminating. perhaps. among
these. is the pew that Iincoln occu-
pied in the Prefibyterian church. 'at
Springfield. before he left .Illinois cap-
ital to go to the White House. The
rough be ch looks as if it might have
been m dew from the rails that he
split in youth. No plhiner. common-
er. more substantial bench couldbe
built for a church. .
The pew probably was never paint-
ed. At any rate it shows no sign of
paint today. but stands like a product
of the carpenter that had gone
straight to the church. It is a bench
that without. regard toJooks. could be
doing it duty for severah more half
centuries.
Nearby is a chair that Lincoln used
while he was reading law. It .is one
of those bleak officer chairs of long
ago. a sure enough companion piece
to the pew, simple. worn and still good
for along term of hard 'service.
Close at hand stands a book case.

President of the Confederacy. Rather
ornately carved. it seems quite unlike

the day, and now sought after. But

chapter 85 of the public acts of 1919

the matter out of the control and se-

1. It removes the superintendent
from the control of the communion in
this respect. although he is their .ap-
intce.
p02- Tbe ”inconspicuously displayed

Two other bills affecting the state

the committee by Commissioner Per-
ry. One provides for an increase in
the force of the department from fif-
teen to thirty-five at the discretion of
the commission and the other woull
permit the commission to appoint
special prosecuting attorneys. The
former bill also provides for motor-
. cycles with side cars for the state pol—
icemen to be used in patrol duty in
the rural sections of the state.
This is only one of the several ,hllls
dealing with the policing of the rural
parts of the statc. Tlicre is a bill that
would establish a state constabulal'y
at an estimated cost of more than
$300,000 and another bill that ‘wouid

Commissioner Perry in urging a.

for special prosecuting attorneys for
the state police department. said there
was a need for them. He said the
department experienced trouble main-
ly if: the small towns. but that special
prosecuting attorneyn would not no

swer to a question. said it was not the
intention of the department to go

missioner Perry said. "we practically
do the work in the name of the grand
