Death is always hardest for those
who are left without the helpful pres
ence of loved ones. The one who pass
es into the spirit existence has gone
to the land of peace, beauty and heav-
erly conditions.
There should be no mourning, only
loving thoughts and memories and
sweet recollections of the life that is
ended here. 1t is being lived now in
the land beyond, where "somaday,
sometime all who love will be united
and there will be no more parting.

Alright;

Children Should he Ts1ght Early -

When we were children We were
taught that it was next door to q crime
to destroy books. OF course. books
are not as expensive or as hard TO get
now as they were a quarter of a cen-
tury ago but all the same they are too
valuable to waste or throw away, de-
ciares the New York Ledger.
Children should be taught low best
to take care Of books and ought never
10 be permitted 10 throw or bang them
about or tear them in pieces. They
should be encouraged to accumulate
volumes, and 10 do this must have a
place in which to keep them. Gooc,
plain book shelves cost but little, and
every child should have set.
In one well ordered household there
are five youngsters, between the ages
OF 5 and is years. Each child has

sort that cost 81 or IS. There are cur

every cent, has to be counted. But
there is in this household spirit OF

PINGREE'S PROTEST.

Gov. Pingree, Michigan's executive,
don't seem to think much of the trusts
prosperity, as the following would
indicate.
Detroit, Mich, July 24.-Gov. II.
S. Pingree today wired the following
message in duplicate to President Nc
Kinley, Senator Burrows and Con.
gresham Corliss and Spaulding OF
Michigan:
~ regard the duty on lumber, hides
and sugar as unrepublican, unpatrio-
tic and unfair. The lumber now used
goes largely into small homes and
farms houses and to class already
over taxed. The laborer wears twice
as many shoes as the millionaire. and
must contribute twice as much for the
tax on hides.
"He must use as much sugar and
pay as much toward the duty on
sugar.
''It is grossly unfair to make the
poor pay as much per capita as the
rich toward the support of the gov
ernment. Property and not human
stomachs should be searched. Pro-
perty is protected by our laws and
should pay for It's protection.

INDICATIONS.

We are sorry to chronicle in oul
column of indications this week thai
our esteemed contemporary, the Mer'
curry, shows signs of going crazy
In speaking of the Dingley bill il
says, ''the bill is probably more sat
isfactory to the people than any tar
iff measure which has passed congress
in the recollection of the present gen.
eration.n
The idea that a generation that has
seen the growth of such enormous
private fortunes as John Rockefeller
and Yerkes, while the masses of the
people have been getting poorer and
poorer: a generation that has seen the
formation of the gigantic trusts that
go into the halls of legislation with
their millions OF ill-gotten gains and
buy men enough to pass such laws as
they approve of;-the idea that a peo-
pie who see this state of things being
pleased with a bill that puts an aver
age increase of 81 per cent on every
thing, is preposterous
The people of the United States are
beginning to realize that trusts are
the result of protective tariff, and
that these same trusts practically run
our government today. The last elec-
tion proved that conclusively to all
people who think.
Manufacturers as a class have grown
wealthy while the masses of the peo-
pie have gradually gone down in the
depths.
We are becoming homeless peo-
pie in that we do not own homes. The
conditio ions of living in the slums OF
the cities and in all the mining dis
tricts is something appalling to find
among a civilized people in so call
ed. christian age. And yet news
paper tells you that the people are
pleased to have the extra burden OF
taxation placed upon them by the
Dingley bill.

THE SINCE TAX QUESTION.

Two men, Messrs. Herman and Mo
bius, are canvassing Kansas in the
cause of the "Single Tax The Ad-
vocate welcomes an invasion of this
kind under the direction of persons
auth orized and delegated to represent
the views and present the arguments
| of those 4hat have given time and
study enough to the subject in hand to
systematic it's details and make OF
| them symmetrical whole.
Taxation, both local and National,
is increasing steadily from decade to
decade. This fact will, sooner or
later, force itself on the attention OF
| the people. It is we'll known, also,
that our present system, if anything
so incongruous may be called sys-
tenn, is not only unjust in its best
operation, but that this injustice is
growing fast and to the disadvantage
Of farmers and of men generally who
till with their hands. The personal
property tax list in the several States
show remarkable shrinkage in late
years. Bonds, stocks and other evil
dences Of debt escape taxation in
large degrees; and so it is with all
kinds of movable property that is easy
to conceal. Paintings, statuary, cur
tains, ornaments and other articles
used only for purposes of display and
ornamental ion-these rarely get onto
the tax rolls at all.
But as to land, that is always in
sight. 1t cannot be moved or hidden
from view. Nor is it combustible,
and it is the source of all sustainance.
Besides, it was here when we came,
it is ours by right. 1t belongs to the
people. Not only does everybody use
land, but nobody can get on without
using some. And it is the only thing
of which all these thing can be said,
for the earth includes water and
air,
Then why not adopt system of tax
alton based on land alone-a single
tax? That would simplify things
greatly. And in adjusting details, we
should soon find that our justice would
require that we levy our tax not on
the land itself nor on is estimated
value, but on the value Of the land S
rental-that is to say, on what rent
er would pay for the use of the
land. That would be fair to all users
of land. If the rental value of a town
lot is equal to that of farm, it ought
to pay as much tax This, as the
Advocate understands it, is the idea
of the Single Taxer, and we think that
as the people study the question it
will grow on them.-The Advocate.

THE STRIKE IN THE COAL REGION

Although the administration has
been beseeched to intervene in the
strike and settle the difficulties now
disturbing the coal industry, it has
preserved a mastery inactivity. The
purpose seems to be that the trouble
shall continue until some of the hot
headed miners commit some act that
will justify the interference of the
troops; then the strike can be put
down with strong hand. A dozen
different methods have been pointed
out to President Nc Kinley whereby
he could lend the power of his infiu-
ence on the side of peace, but he pre-
fers tnat the trouble should ferment
If bloodshed occurs in the coal region

BILE for it. The opportunity has been
offered but not accepted to stop the
whole affair. Meantime President

COMING PROSPERITY.

All obstacles to prosperity have
been removed. 1t has a clear track.
After the long wrangle over the Ding
bill and the care with which it was
-sorutinized, many Inconsistencies are
apparent. Some of the paragraphs
are absolutely inconsistent. For in
stance plums in one paragraph are
taxed 25 cents bushnl and in anoth-
er at q cents per pound. The Treasury
experts are busy making thing
straight.
Another section fixes the rate OF
duty on "hides of cattle" at Is per
cent and admits raw skins free. The
importers are contending that calf
skins are not the hides of cattle and
demand their free entry. As the days
go by new muddles appear.
AT the same time several law suits
have been started by the importers to
evade the payment of duties on goods
brought into the country on Saturday
July "A. This amounts to ovsr 500,

Stubbs was seated 80 far back Of an

Smith had brought him to that aerial
perch and was gurgling with enormous
glee at play that was below Stubs
horizon. Finally, when the chorus
was doing little declaiming on its own
hook, Smith noticed that his shorter
companion was not. as he had been
himself, buried inch-deep with seamy
smiles. 1t occurred to him that the
proscenium was hidden from his short
friend.
Say, Stubbs, can you SO anything?'
Overcome with polite modification
that he had not shown the delight ex-
pected of a guest, Stubbs stammered
out his denials-"saw everything; had
not missed a thing" and so on. But

saw it was all pretense. and Stubbs was
