REVOLUTIONARY TYPES
OF Women of the Republic"-Mrs.
SherwOOds Second Address at
the WOman's Council.

The first paper of the evening was by Mrs.
Kate Brownlee Sherwood, ON the topic,
Revolutionary Types of Women of the Re-
public" and constituted her second address.
The women of the Republic, said Mrs. Sher.
wood, are the direct heritors of the women of
the revolution. All talk of new woman is
mere fable. There is no new woman. Ever
and always it is the same woman-the woman
who went forth from Eden with never
fimsy Excuse upon her lips; the woman who
sang the paeans of the exodus; the woman who
spins among her maidens while Ulysses roams
the seas; the woman who proves to her Ro
man neighbors the redeeming power of Chris
tianity upon husband by showing the healed
wound upon her arm; the woman who launch
ed the bark of Columbus; the woman kneeling
on the bleak shores of Plymouth the woman
who made the hOmespun suit for the inaugural
of her husband as first president of the repub-
lie; the woman who taught the president, when
yet little lad that it is better to trust in the
Lord than to put confidence in princes. Bless
ed womanhood of the world Without it earth
would be bowling wilderness such as
Dante saw and was afraid. Behold the wo-
men of the revolution. They roll the
logs, beside their husbands, to build
their rude cabins; they SOW, they
reap, they card and spin and make the gar
ments of the household, They rear rosy sons
and daughters; they teach them the sermon
on the Mount, reverence for holy things, re-
spect for authority, courage, reliance, self-cOn-
troll. But, above ALL that it is the right of
every soul to be free to follow the dictates of
conscience, and that resistance to tyrants is
obedience to God.
When the great conflict comes they are
ready, and when the husband and father and
older sons join the patriot army, they gather
their little ones around them, and their faith
and fortitude hold them true, fleeing
now from the hostile savages on the
wild frontier, now from the harry
ing Hessians securing through farms and ham
lets, but oftener with busy wheel and
boom and kneading board hoard
! ing their resources, their strug.
Cling country's needs, Martha Washington
kept thirteen spinning wheels running al
Mount Vernon to make clothing for men,
women and children. Women in the towns
banded themselves together to wear homespun,
to give up laces and frills OF foreign make, just
as men gave up their rufiled shirts and theil
broadcloth and their silken hose. And LEI
it stand forever to the credit of the women oI
the revolution that in the darkest hours Of the
struggle for Independence, when plottings and
conspiracies were undermining the influence
of Washington and tying the hands of the con
tinental congress, they never lost their conf
dence and courage, but fed, clothed ond in
spired with never failing hope the bare foot
patriots of Trenton and Valley Forge.

terday afternoon. He and a companion were
jumping on and off as it was proceeding up the
hill, when, by some mishap he was thrown un-
der the wheels. Both legs were so badly crush
ed that amputation was necessary.
No blame can be attached to the railroad
company, and it is a wonder that more boys
are not injured from the pernicious practice of
jumping on and off the cars.
Later information from Massllon today re-
ports that the boy fingered until two O'Clock
Tuesday morning and then died from the
effects of his injuries.

HE Is AFTER THEM.
Small Companies Will Have to Change
Their Names Quickly or
he Taxed,

Emmett Morgan, the new income tax coilec-
tor for this, district, was in Canton Monday
getting local capitalists on the list. Mr.. Nor
gan stated to a NEWS man that he was sending
out blanks rapidly and expected all to have
their returns made by April Is. This
tax is going to catch great many
who did not expect it. All corporations are
taxed whether they made 81, 900 or not, so also
are all little companies that are doing business
under names that do not show the names of
the parties interested. This will hold lot of
small dealers who have adopted large sounding
names. Thus John Smith and his son might
be carpenters and desire to do contracting.
In order to impress the public they
start out as "The Smith Construction Co." and
go to work. The tax law will compel them to
make returns, and pay two per cent on every
dollar Of profit they made, whether they made
1900 or only 81. But if they had done busi-
ness as John Smith & Son, carpenters and
builders" they might have made $4,000, and
yet not be taxed as much as a single copper
The law regulating returns is strict, and
penalties are high for those who do not obey
the law.
In the matter of individual returns every
thing must be accounted for. All salaries, ali
profits from speculation, rents interests, gifts
life insurance, money won at the card table oi
by betting on the election, premium on bonds
all profit on real estate bought since Dec. 81
1892. Everything your wife gets and all you
expect to get on accounts that are good and
collectable.
If those who have been doing business a:
companies but without incorporation papers
get their eyes open to the situation in time un
doubtedly there will be mad rush and scram
bic to change the firm names. OF course reg
ular incorporations cannot possibly escape bu
must make returns and be taxed.
