right to hold and enjoy the property
which the laws of the country have
enabled him to secure. 1t is time
that we had the courage to stand
together against this socialism,
populism and paternalism which is
running riot in this country and
which must end (if not crushed) in
the destruction of the liberties which
the laws give us, liberties which
should be dearer to us than life
itself"
About 5000 "soldiers'' were in the
various divisions of the Coxey army.
What to do with these people puzzled
the authorities of the District of
Columbia. From all accounts there
are few vicious men in the ranks of
the coming commonwealers, but they
are raiders, pure and simple, as much
SO as were the men who, without bag
or baggage, swept behind Sherman
to the sea; they live off the country
through which they pass, and when
they reach the end of their pilgrim
age, Mecca Washington, they must
be fed by the government, or steal,
or starve. Additional guards are
placed in the treasury building to
prevent any possible raid of the
commonwealers.

SLEEP.
From the Golden Rule .

From the Golden Rule.
More ills of the body 1--WE had
almost said of the souD are brought
on by too little sleep than by any
other cause. Read this:
Some IL says of sleep: "Six hours
for a man, seven for a woman and
eight for a fool" but there never
was a more misleading statement.
The amount of sleep one needs
depends on the amount of mental
work he does while awake. Men
whose brains are never busy can get
along with five or six hours sleep a
day, even though their hands are
always employed during the waking
hours; but the mental worker must
have more or go crazy. To attempt
to initiate Napoleon, who, it is said,
could get along with four or five
hours sleep, will drive any ordinary
man into an insane asylum before the
end of a year.

HOW BABY WENT HOME.

BY Helen Somerville.
The door of H%enning's saloon was
pushed open by a little hand, and
a child ran in, looking eagerly about.
"Papa, papa! Where's my papaY"
she cried.
A man standing at the counter
with n glass raised half way to his
lips started at the sound of the
plaintive cry and set down the
untasted beer.
"What do you want, Bessie?" he
asked. go papa, come home!" she
exclaimed; "baby's dying!"
"Baby's dying!" he repeated me-
chanically, s~natching up his hat, and
taking the hand of the trembling
child, they left the saloon together.
Down the street they went, the
father and the child, he with barred
head and lip trembling with emo
ton, she clinging to his hand and
sobbing out her grief in a helpless,
hopeless manner.
They stopped at a tenement house
and assembled the stairs, till they
reached the fourth story, where they
paused at room No. SO. On a
wretched bed, covered by a ragged
quilt, lay the tiny form of "baby,''
80 still, so white, 30 pure, in the
surrounding dirt and distress.
One glance and a loud, agonized
groan burst from the fathers lips.
"My God! is our little darling to
leave us?"
go George?" sobbed his wife,
creeping to his side, and laying her
hand timidly on his shoulder. "She
called for papa right up to a few
minutes ago. Our little baby will
soon be with the angels"
Reverently the husband and wife
knelt beside the little form. The
father took one tiny white hand in
his large brown one. The mother
took the other little hand and COW
cred it with tears and kisses.
GEORGE" sobbed the mother,
"God is going to take our darling.
Don't you think that-to be-the
parents-of a baby angel-that we
ought-to be good"
eyes, Mary, l do, and from this
time on, God helping me, / intend to
be n different man."
"Amen!" exclaimed Mary.
The baby stirred just then and
smiled into the face of her parents.
"All yight, papa" she murmured,
then closed her eyes for forever.
Baby had fulfilled her mission.

COST OF RAISING GRAIN.

COST OF RAISING GRAIN.
The statistician of the agricultural
department has been graphing with
the problem Of raising wheat and
corn at a profit. A summary has
been made from the individual esti-
mates of 25, 900 practical farmers in
the case of wheat and 5000 in the
case of corn. Some 1000 experts
have also given the result of their
observations. The cost of raising
wheat per acre is estimated at SLIGO
and orn at Sill. In each instance
the rent of the land is the heaviest
item, that for wheat being s2.81 and
for corn S3.03. The marketing of
wheat is estimated at 7G cents and
corn at S1.26. In the report for
December last the average farm
value of wheat is placed at S6.16 per
acre and of corn 1921. The farmer
has the straw of the wheat and the
stalks of corn, which in some Sec
tions of the country have a feeding
value of S. per acre. While the
cost of production was normal the
price of both wheat and corn in
December estimate was far below the
average.

CHURCH PROPERTY TAXATION

Rev. Madison q. Peters In the Forum.
The taxation of church property s
in the interest of American principles,
and in harmony with the experience
of nations. Taxing one man for the
propagation of another mans religion
is glaringly unjust. . Moreover it is a
relic of the principle of the union q
church and state inherited from tie
Old World, and not yet eliminated
from our W political system.

An associated press dispatch says:
The principal changes to be made
in the tariff bill, in accordance with
the agreement made to-day by the
democratic senators, are in the
income tan and the sugar schedule.
The sugar men have been from the
first clamorous for an ad valorem
instead of a specific duty, and that
change has been conceded. The
details have not been absolutely
fixed, but there is little doubt that
the sugar schedule will be entirely
supplanted by n new one which will
provide a uniform duty of 40 per
cent. ad valorem, with an addition
of Is cents for refined sugar.
The principal change i'll the income
tax is Il provision for the limitation
of the time that the law shall remain
in operation. This is another matter
of detail, which has not been abso-
lutely agreed upon, but the principle
having been conceded, the senators
who have the compromise in hand, do
not consider that there is any posi-
bility of failure on account of the
period. 1t will probably be about
five or six years. There will be no
change in the rate of taxation, which
will be left at 2 per cent. on amounts
in Xcess of $4,000.
A number of changes in the ate
of duty will be made in the iron
schedule, in which there will I've Il
slight advance over the rates fixed
by the pending bill. Carpets also
will secure an advance. In many
cases the rates fixed in the house bill
will replace those of the bill reported
to the senate by the finance commit
tee. Another material concession
which will be made to the dissatisfied
senator's will be the restoration of
the specific system in many places
where the finance committee changed
the house bill by the substitution of
ad valorem duty. The manufacturers
have made especial complaint of the
ad valorem system because of the
opportunity which they say it offers
for fraud. Their senators have sup
ported them in this representation,
and the finance committee, while
still retaining their confidence in the
fairness of the ad valorem methods.
has decided to yield the point in
many instances for the sake of har-
mony, and with the hope of securing
the support of the united party in
the senate.
There will be no change in the
rates fixed on iron ore, lead ore or
coal, and wool will remain on the
free list. The whisky tax, as re-
ported by the finance committee, will
also be undisturbed. 1t is understood
that the entire democratic majority
OF the finance committee is in hearty
accord upon the wisdom of the pro-
posed changes. Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, has taken the initiative,
and performed the greater part of
the great work of effecting the com
promise by getting the dissatisfied
senator's to state what they wanted
and bringing them together. The
conservatives, with the one excep-
ton of Senator Hill, have been fully
consulted, and it is understood that
with the amendments added to the
bill it will receive their cordial sup
port. They have gwen assurance to
this effect.
