this sensible, rational process a scholar,

readily arrives at system which will
bear with reasonable equity on all

In this country the income tax has
proven offensive and impracticable, the
land tax can be applied only by the
states, hence there are first the luxuries

recognized as proper taxsbles by universal

Of the expenses and the pensions could

all violations OF the law TO their chief.

He said in part "That sermon is the
greatest that has the personality of
Christ in It, At the time Paul wrote to
the Corinthians they were having dissen-

them that Christ was not divided but
that all should be as one in Christian fell

not only the gospel but also Christ and

Every man and woman breaches a

THAT concern that has been advertis

from $40 to 500 per month, on investi-

as was suspected--a delusion and a
sham. It may prove and doubtless will
prove to be run by an arrant fraud for
fraudulent purposes. The advertisement
appeared in the Every Evening and was
then placed in the EVENING JOURNAL.
We investigated and the man who goes
under the name Of L. A. Sleighter threw
up his hands and bis job and says he be
lieves the exchange is fraud.
1t requires some nerve to publish these

the community Of their presence and Of
their designs, but though the EVENING

expose them every time Neither the
big thief nor the little thief can deter OF
