he aimed at the dogs head, but fhe
struck him in the rear wounding him
in the hind leg. The dog yelped and spat-
tered blood all over the City Hall steps.
Blood was also splashed all over the side

into the Dyer library basement and was
in hopes to save him but he bled inter-

kill him in decent way. People object

THEINCOME TAX,

The income tax idea las grown
immensely since Congress met, and
especially since the question has
been debated in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
1t is now one of the most popular
ideas in the country and the more
the people think about it the
stronger will become the demand
for this just and needed tax.
The New York papers, with the
exception of the World, are making
furious war on the income tax
They do not give many reasons why
it should not be imposed, but deal in
very bold assertions as to the effects.
They tell US that it will put pre-
MUM on re, jury; that it is inquisi-
torial; that it will wreck the Demo
cratic party.
We do not believe that there will
be any more perjury about incomes
under federal Law than there is
about the returns of personal prop
erty for state taxation, aud in either
case the rich peljurer should be
prosecuted and punished Just as the
ordinary perjurer is in our courts.
An income tax Is no more inquisition-
able than is the system of taxation
already in vogue in every State OF
the Union.
So far as its effect on the Demo
cratic party is concerned, we think
the only danger of the matter is that
the Democratic party is responsible
for the defeat of the income tax if it
should fail in this Congress. The
people want it. They believe it is
just that the men of large incomes
should bear their fair share of the
burdens of government.
Now that the governn ent will
need more revenue, we can think OF
no more reasonable or pre- per tax
tan ere upon large incomes.

Mrs. Fairfax opened her lips as if to
speak; they moved, but no sound came;
then, slowly rising from her seat. she
leaned forward, saying in quick, hard
tones:

name of woman; she is a she devil, and
hate her for the cruel wrong she did
me. I should like her to know that I
think her despisable beyond words p"
And with this Mrs. Fairfax turned,
trembling with excitement, and went
hurriedly out of the tent, much to the
bewilderment of Mrs. Dallas.
By the time Mrs. Fairfax reached the
stall where her friend was. however,
all traces of her excitement had passed
