What Should Be Taxed.

A morning newspaper denoun-
ces as more than a hint to COM
munistic con6scation" the demand
of the Chicago platform for "such
a tax as will reach wealth"
1.-THE reason given in the plat
form for the re.enactment of an
income tax is $50 that the burdens
of taxation may be equally and
impartially laid, to the end that
wealth may bear it's due proper
ton Of the expenses of govern
ment."

that? Should not, wealth bear
'its due proportion" of the cost of
the Government. What should be
taxed if not wealth? Is not the
old rule sound and just. that all
taxes should be laid with a view
o. TO ability to pay and GU to
benefits received?
That wealth does not pay its
due proportion of the expenses OF
the Federal government is too no.

When the bride entered the
church leaning upon the arm OF
her father, Prof. Greig and Mrs.
r. j. Liable played a march, with
organ and cornet, that made the
event more brilliant and more i'm
pressive; and while the contrac-
ting persons were signing, Mrs.
Rena Simon sang an Ave Maria;
her pretty voice filed the vast
edi6ce with the sweetest music.
After the marriage the couple
repaired to the plantation home
of the brides parents, accompa-

How eggs are. used.-Probably
very little people are aware of the
fact that a large proportion OF the
eggs used in this country go into
the manufacture of some article
other than food. The calico print
works used over 100000 dozen
eggs each year. Photographic es-
adjustments use millions of do
zens, and wine CHARTERS call for
over 100000 dozen. The de-
mand from these sources increases
faster than the table demand.
They are used by book-binders.

finishing fine leather. To those
sources of demand is due the high

The following dispatch from
Washington appears in the Balti-
more Sun: "The latest convert to
bicycling in Washington is Cardi-
nal Satolli. While he does not
appear on the street he takes oc-
casional spins about the house.
Last week a we'll known msnufac-
turing firm presented the cardinal
with wheel. On the first -four
of the legation, in the rear of the
parlors, is a large ballroom. Since
the house has been occupied by
the papal delegate no balls have
been given there, but at one end a
billiard table has been set up.
This occupies but small portion
of the room and leaves an album
dance of space for private rid
ing school. By riding from one
end to the other and turning the
corners carefully it is possible to
ride around the table, thus giving
a lap of about fifty to the mile.
Cardinal Satolli is quite pleased
with his new wheel and has taken
several lessons in the old ball
room. Cardinal Satolli has selec-
ted his apartments in Rome. He
has, as yet, no idea of the work to
which he will be assigned, nor
will he know until after arrival.
He will receive the red hat at the
next consistory, probably in No
vember, and will then receive also
his church. Cardinal Satolli will
be rendered a reception at Coma
ga College on Oct. 4 by the Jesuit
fathers of st. Aloysius' Church. -

Suffering From Drouth.

Times Democrat.
The Colfax Chronicle states that
500 persons in Grant parish are
in need of relief, and that their
neighbors can do but little for
them. This is certainly case de-
serving investigation. The Chro-
nicle states that the sufferers from
drouth are nearly all white people,
and that nine-tenths of them are
unable to take care of themselves.
1t calls on the police jury to take
steps to ascertain who are really
needy and deserving, and to insti-
tute some systematic method to
procure help before actual distress
begins to be felt by the suffering
women and children.
The people in the hills are near
ly all white farmers of moderate
means. Not one in ten of them
has made anything like crop.
We do not understand that they
are calling for help. The Chroni-
Gle believes that some of them
will be forced to accept help, and
thinks it should be offered to them
before they are driven to beg.
The miners are on a big strike
at Leadville, Col, and are causing

were burned and few persons

Women are the real heroes of the

endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of

ed Register is in haste to have us put
forth the constitution and bylaws of
the Society of the Sons Of Adam. Not
yet. safeguarding has only just be-
gun in this country. There are people
of English descent in it who can go
farther back than the Mayflower, and
they will soon see the need of forming
a society if they want to have the proud
prominence that is theirs by right.
The indications are that they will want
it and claim it. And they are not the
only ones who can go back. We have
among us descendants of the Goths,
the Vandals, the Huns, the Chatti and
the other Franks. Descendants of the
Irish kings and of the imperial Caesars
can be seen any day in our police courts.
Greeks, whose names were attached to
other Greeks in ancient Athens, Sparta
and Boeotia are with us. Egyptians
Pyramids and the Sphinx can be found
here And Moses, Aaron, Levi, Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob are still in evil
dence.
So the time has not yet come for the
Society of the Sons of Adam. When
everybody in this country has claimed
everything that is distinguished in the
line Of ancestry; when all the societies
with high sounding names that can be
thought of have been thought of and
formed; when all the old Colonial
Maids, the old early English Maids, the
old Roman and Grecian Maids, and the
old Israelitish Maids (f there are any
have been gathered into societies, then
will be time enough to begin to talk
seriously about the formation of the
Society of the Sons Of Adam. And we
are not certain that 1t will do any good
even then to talk about such a society
Adam, don't you know, was only a
fallen farmer, and was probably in
much the same condition afte- he lost
his soft snap that the unprotected
farmers of this country and England
are in. A society of his sons might not
go even after all the rest Of the an
cestors had been utilized. But If the
Register is really in earnest it can do
something to pave the way for the for
nation of such a society. We notice
that while Adam occasionally gets men
toned in the Registers editorial col
umns, neither he nor any of his de-
scendants is ever mentioned in the
Registers Society notes. Will not the
Register give the old man and his de-
scendants "a show in that part of the
paper devoted to the antics of the
nobility, if it really believes that they
are entitled to it?

There is a man living in st. Joseph

there in modest though comfortable
home, and with the advent iof spring
starts regularly on a prospet ting tour
that takes him to the mountains and

bonds to a New York insurance COM
pany at par. The Rome city council at
first offered a per cent, currency bond.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no demand for such a bond. The coun-
Gil then reconsidered it's action and
agreed to offer a Az per cent. gold bond.
This was readily accepted by New

that the city has been saved a large

Governor Morton of New York has

ined as to their qualifications. The new
law requires that no person shall prac-
tice as master or journeyman horse

of fifty thousand inhabitants or more,
unless he is registered with a board Of
examiners, consisting of one yeterina-
rian and two master horseshoers and
two iourneymen horseshoers, all resi-
dents of cities Of the first or second
class, appointed by the governor for
five years. Any master or journeyman
horseshoer of not less than three years.
standing may register within six
months upon making an affidavit stat
ing that he has been practicing horse
shoeing for the period and shall be ex-
empt from the provisions requiring an
examination. Any master or journey
man horseshoer outside of such cities
for a period of three years, upon pre-
senting satisfactory proof, shall be en-
titled to register.
There is good sense in this law. There
is altogether too much ignorant and
harmful horseshoeing
