their birth have an equal opportunity
of acquiring wealth. lnasmuch as IL
is impractical TO re-divide all property
occasionally in the interests of the
more unfortunate, he proposes an an
nual tax that shall gradually serve the
same purpose. That is, since the av-
erage human life is of 80 years dura=
ton he would tax all property two per
cent year, which, if paid the full %
years, would equal in amount the value
OF the property. The proceeds oil TINS
tax he would use, first, to pay the nee
essary expenses OF government, and,
secondly, to give employment to the
needy. He estimates that there would
be at least one per cent for the latter
purpose. In this, we believe he Is
GROSSLY mistaken. Unless some way
were devised to make tax appraisals
conform more closely to the actual val
ne OF property-we do not see how this
would be any more probable to occur
than under the present system-there
is no foundation that a one per cent
tax on property would suffice to prop
erly conduct all forms Of government
municipal state and national. 1t re-
auires more than that now and the cost
is constantly increasing. The writer's
idea is to employ the remaining one
per cent in such branches Of industry
as are now controlled by trusts We
do not hesitate to pronounce his rea-
soning fallacious and his deductions
unsound.

James Michael is the champion

James Michael is the champion
long-distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen TO
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that Of thousands
Of others. With the opening of the
bicycle season many a young person
and hundreds of older people who
have determined to take up bicycling
as health-giving exercise find them
selves really lacking the proper"snap
or stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents so spirited eXer-
else. They would like to ride, but
they are out of sorts, run down by a
winter of work or indoor life. Many
who are really sick, who have suffered
from debility or wasting diseases fora
long time until they had begun TO
think their troubles had become chron-
c,and nothing gave them relief, would
turn TO bicycling for relief. But this
splendid exercise, like any other, re-
quires strength to undertake. The
blood is out of order, the nerves are
deranged and natures food for both is
needed.
An such persons will find TO their
immense JOY that Paine's celery COM
pound, taken now, will make them
well.
Paine's celery compound works
wonders in June. II you have labored
under the load of repeated headaches,
neuralgia pains and days of nervous
debility, now is your best time to get
well.

that the unusual course he is taking in

in running business to suit himself

ward one-man power is too radical to

A great deal of attention has been
attracted by the trials of Messrs. Hav-
emeycr and Searles of the sugar trust
and Broker Chapman for refusal to an
swer questions propounded during the
course of the Senate investigation OF
the alleged sugar scandal at the time
the Wilson tariff law was passed. Hay
emeyer and Searles have been acquit-
ted, the evidence tending TO show that
they did not directly refuse to answer
proper inquiries. Chapman was con-
victed and sentenced TO short inn
prisonment i'm Jail. While there he is
supplied with every luxury that money
can buy, though other prisoners are de-
MED these privileges, even when they
are ready to pay for them. He has al
so been permitted to take numerous
airings outside the Jail. In fact. his
Imprisonment is nothing but farce.
Now this is n gross perversion of jus
tice. If he deserved Imprisonment at
all il should have been the same as
other culprits undergo. Such things
serve as ammunition for the Popuhsts
and others in their assault on the
money power"-and with good rea-
son. Chapman has been made a sort
of hero among those who dabble in
stocks and the advertisement is worth
thousands of dollars to him. There
will be a strong popular condemnation
of such methods.
