on his fathers paper, which was then a
journal of small circulation. He took a
keen interest in politics, and seemed
possessed of such enterprise and good
judgment that his father finally turned
over to him the Mclean interest in the
paper. Shortly thereafter young Mclean
bought Faran's interest and made The
Enquirer such a wide awake and enter
prising journal that it rapidly increased
in circulation and made its young pro-
prietor rich man. He is credited with
great executive and journalistic ability,
is liberal to his employees and is a good
friend and dangerous enemy.

It is her aim to organize them all, so
that they may make a successful stand

could endure the hardships and trials,
the poor light, the hot, foul air, the
crowded quarters, the beggarly pay and
the long hours Of the sweat shops and
retain their natural abilities? Their mar

one, which is perfectly true. A young
woman over in Baltimore is engaged to
marry young man who lives on Capt.

fortnight ago she sent him copy Of
''Trilby'' as a birthday present, but in
asmuch as there are passages in '''Trilby'
which she feared might weaken her

a leaf here and a paragraph there till
the book was expurgated to her taste.
And that edition of ''Trilby" was the

The ruling of the supreme court is
that direct taxation is unconstitutional
and direct taxation is defined as taxation
which can not be shifted. If there has
ever been a form of taxation that could
not be shifted the people would like to
have it pointed out The court holds that
taxes from incomes cannot be shifted.
Everybody else knows that they can be.
Take for instance the income derived
from rents. All that is necessary to shift
the burden is to raise the rents. So it is
