EDITORIAL COMMENT.
nIs ldea of raxatlon.

B1lt1iOre Arrs.
Professor and ex-President Harrison
has delivered himself Of this remarkable
objection TO direct taxation:
1T has always been urged against
this system of taxation that it does not
benefit the people at large other than
assisting 10 defraying the expenses OF
the government. and, of course, On that
account inferior to other systems OF
taxation
That is to say, 4 tax which has no
other recommendation than providing
revenue, which does not take more out
OF the pockets OF the people than il
puts into the public treasury,
which can be adjusted so that ].
VIII not fall more heavily upon the
poor than on the rich, is inferior. ac-
cording TO Professor Harrison, to 'other
systems OF taxation" The beauties OF
taxation under the "o.her system" are,
mainly, that the burden falls upon the
many for the benefit OF few, that lux
uries are more lightly taxed than nee
essaries, and that the revenue derived
Is a secondary consideration TO the pro-
lection OF favored interests at the ex-
pensd OF the people. The logical con
clusion OF eX-President Harrison's
theory Of taxation Is that the best tax
is one that produces no revenue at all.
Under such a system the benefits to tho
people at large" would be simply i'm.
mense.

HELEN EELLER'S STORY
AS TOLD IN HER OWN WAY AND WITH
HER OWN WORDS.
The Awakening Of Mind - Her Delight Upon
Learning to Spell the Word that Described
Waisr-Why her Life is Full Of Happiness

In tho current number OF Youths
companion Helen Keller tells the story
OF her life. She was born I'm TuscuIn-
Ola, Ala, and when she was a baby She
could both see and hear. and was, in
TACT, Just like other babies. But when
she was nineteen months old "A fever
lett her without sight and without
nearing. And now let US quote Helen's
own words:
MY father wrote to Mr.. Anagnos.
the director OF the Institution whe-o
Laura BridgmRn had been taught. and
asked him If he could send his little
daughter kind teacher. Dear Mr..
Anagnos replied that he could. That
was In the summer OF 1856. | was then
Six years old.
TAUGHT TO SPELL DOLL.
When teacher came she brought mo
n beautiful doll. Oh. she was a lovely
and delicate doll, with long curly hair
and eyes that opened aud shut and
pouung lips. But exquisite as she was
my curiosity concerning her was soon
satisfied, and she lay unnotIced 10 my
lap.
Then teacher took my hand and slow
ly made the letters DOLL with her fin
gers, at the same time making me touch
the doll.
OF course, did not know the motions
meant letters. did not know what
letters were; but was interested in the
finger play, and tried 10 initiate the mo-
tions. and l think | succeeded in spell
ing-doll in very little while. Then l
ran downstairs 10 show my new doll to
my mother, and am sure she was sur
prised and pleased when held 10 nv
little hand and made the letters for
doll.
LIGHT BREAKS N.
That afternoon, besides "dol.p
learned TO spell pin" and hat" but
did not understand that everything had
a name. had not the least ideG that
my hnger-play was tho magical kew
which was to unlock my minds prison
door and open wide the windows OF nv
soul.
Teacher had been with me nearly
two weeks, and had learned IS or 2O
words before that thought flashed into
my mind. as the sun breaks upon the
sleeping world; and in that moment OF
illumination the secret OF language was
revealed TO me, and canght glimpse
or the beautiful country was about TO
explore.
Teacher had been trying all the
morning to make me understand that
the mug and the milk in the mug had
different names; but was very duh.
and kept spelling "milk" for mug, and
mug" for milk, until teacher must
have lost all hope Of making me sec my
mistake. At last she got up, gave me
the mug, and led me out OF the door 10
the pump house. Some one was pump
ing water, and as the COO '-csh stream
burst forth teacher made mo put nv
mug under the spout au4 spelled wa

That word startled my soul. and IS

The city was turne d over to the Hoo
Hoos, their wives and sweethearts last
night. The jolly outfit attended the
Bijou theater in a body and occupied
the lower part of the house. The stage
was appropriately decorated, badges of
the order hanging about in the scenery.
Black cars were let loose ON the stage
during the performance, and created
no end of amusement by their gy-
rations and endeavors to get back
into the world they knew. The per-
Torrance was "Mikado," and it was
represented by that excellent orga MIA

roses were sent up from the audience
to Frank Deshon and Miss nj yra Mo-

Hoo Hoo male quartette sang several

and Frank Deshon was called upon for
speech. He made one of his charac.

Eighth avenue and Fourteenth street

mediate construction, and the commit
tee proposed to advertise for bids for
water mains IN Window park and a
bridge over the 800" line right of way
In Columbia park. 1t was probable that
the board would adopt these plans.
Another proposition has in view the
bringing to Minneapolis of j. C. Ohm
stead as a consulting landscape archi-
tect in laying out the plans for the pro-
posed new work. MIR. Olmstead is the
man who laid out the worlds fair
grounds. Ii is the idea of Commits
sioners Jones. lockwood, Folwell and
others, who are anxious to have Mr..
Olmstead come, that the board might
profit largely by his visit; that his sug-
gestions and advice would save money
in the end. The propositions were con-
sidered favorably, and definite measures
will be at once taken to carry them into
effect.
