MAY TAX FOREIGN CAPITAL
New York Law Upheld by the o. S.
Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The United
States supreme court announced its de-
cision sustaining the constitutionality of
that feature of the tax laws of New
York, which lays a tax on foreign cor
porations doing business in the state
according to the capital employed. The
case was instituted against James Rob-
erts, comptroller of the state of New
York to test the law and to vacate an
assessment made on the capital of a
large western drug house having
branch in New York city. The lower
court sustained the validity of the law,
and the supreme court now affirIns this
decision. Judge Shiras in announcing
the courts opinion said the law was
settled that a state may impose such
conditions for permitting foreign cor
poration to do business within it's limits
al is may judge expedient and it may
make the grant dependent upon the
payment of a specific license tax, or
sum proportional to the amount of its
capital used within the state. This was
not the court held, a discrimination
against the products of outside states.

Thousands fail of this because they have
neglected to look after their health IN a
womanly way. The health of a woman's
babies is dependent upon her own health
during the period of prospective maternity.
The prospective mother cannot be too par
ticular about her physical condition. If
she suffers from local weakness, nervous
ness or loss of vigor and viriity, her chill
dren will be weak, puny and sickly. DR..
Pierce's FavoTite Prescription is the only
unfailing cure for all weakness and disease
of the delicate and important organs that
bear the brunt of maternity. 1t makes these
organs strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and
elastic. It makes the prospective mother
strong and cheerful 1t robs maternity OF
its perils. 1t insures a baby constitution
ally strong. 1t is the invention of an emf
nent and skillful specialist who has had
thirty years training in this particular
branch, during which time he and his staff
of physicians have prescribed for many
thousands of women. Medicines dealers
sell it and an honest dealer will not urge
upon you an inferior substitute merely for
the little added profit he may make thereon.

The Texas Farm and Ranch
talks very plainly in depreciating
the milestone of indebtness that so
many farmers hang about their
necks in their endeavors to own
or cultivate too much land.
HOmeseekers are continually
seeking for bargains on easy pay
ments, and the easier the payments
the greater the temptation to wade
III beyond their depth. A farmer
who cannot make a good living
and moderate annual surplus on
a fifty-acre farm, ought to be in
some other business. He is not
competent to manage farm. He
might succeed in some other pur-
suit requiring less native ability
and a narrower range of talent
than farming. The acquisition of
a home is the only purpose for
which any farmer should go in
debt. The great difficulty which
confronts the average homeseeker
is greed for land. He wants all
the land he can fence and as much
outlying domain as he can get
credit for and pay taxes on. He
estimates carefully how many acres
he can cultivate in this crop and
what the average yield is like
y to be and how much the
price. He will give better than
the average cultivation and exceed
the average crop. On this basis
lie estimates how much land he
can pay for in a given time. He
makes no allowance for droGth, boil
worms, rust, hail, or a bearish
market; and as favorable and un-
favorable conditions are measured
out to him as to others, he misses
the mark and the sheriff does the
rest. What the average farmer
really needs is not the earth, but
only so much of it as he can culti-
vate and beautify and pay for, for
no man owns a home until it is
paid for in full. f"

olive the Stupid Boy a Chance.
Here IS a lesson and perhar

Here is a lesson and perhaps
encoura ement for parents who
have a Stupid boy, for no doubt
there are a few stupid boys-in the
worlds even amid the Lights of this
closing century. 1t is said that
when Isaac Barrow. one of the
greatest of English preachers. was
a boy, his father thought him very
stupid, and used to say that if it
pleased God to take from him any
of his children he hoped that it
would be Isaac. But Isaac was
not taken. He grew to be one of
the greatest preachers in England,
IA professor in the University of
Cambridge and teacher of Sir
Isaac Newton. 1t is we'll to: re-
member that a boy is not neeessa-
rily stupid because he is pronounc-
ed stupid. He may be stupidity
judged. The fire of intellect may
kindle slowly; it may seem to be
smolder.ng under a heap of ashes,
hopelessly suppressed. Genius
does not always shoot up like q
skyrocket. 1t may come like the
rising of the sun to meridian
splendor, slowly, steadily. Dc
not be discouraged by the appar-
ent stupidity of the boy or girl
Give him or her a fair chance
The first movement of the great
seagoing vessel is apparently awk
ward and hesitating as she tries t.
turn and get out of the harbor
But watch her graceful, splendid
movement as she plows the ocear
or weathers tie storm.
Moreover, a stupid judgment Of
a boy is damaging to him. To cal
him a Ounce, a blockhead, an idiot
is very unwise as well as unkind
1t may discourage him and may
for long time paralyze his efforts
and permanently affect his char
acter.
Give the stupid boy a chance
and it will be known ere long
whether he is really or only appar-
entity stupid. d.-Gainesvilie Cour-
| ier.

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.

called upon our fellow citizen,
Henry NJ. Furman. and asked
him for an EXPRESSION of his
views with reference 70 the
question of Territorial expan-
sion.
Mr.. Furman said:
Il am bitterly opposed to th'
idea. When we went to war
with Spain we disclaimed any
intention of annexing Cuba and
announced that our only pur-
pose was to stop Spanish bru-
tality on that unhappy island
and give to it people a free,
stable and independent govern
ment.
Ii we nov annex Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippine Is
lands, we will break faith with
the world. and show that we
were insincere in our first pro-
fessions. Because European
countries have colonies, is no
reason why we should fol. ow
their example. We have had
too much of this apeing of for
eign countries already. The
more nearly we approach Eu-
ropean ideas the further We
will get from true Americanism.
We do need a change. but it
shOul1 be a return to the sin
pllclty, economy. honesty and
freedom of the early days Of
our republic. England is a
small island. 1t is impossible
that she should become great,
except upon the idea of expan-
sion. She depends upon her
factories; agriculture with her
is secondary consideration.
She could not possibly raise
enough of the products of the
soil to support her population.
Again, England is a king
dom. She denies the right and
ability Of the people to govern
themselves. Territorial expan-
sion is not only consistent with
her theory of government, but
1t IS necessary to enable her 20
support her manufacturing IN
terestS.
With US. all Of this is differ
ent. America should be the
granary and smoke-house of
the world Manufactures
should be a secondary consid-
Grafton with us.
Of what possible benefit
would it be to our farmers to
annex foreign Territory If we
annex the Philippine islands,
Cuba and Porto Rico, it would
do our farmers no possible
good. The only effect 1t would
have would be to give Americas:
manufacturers control of thacA
markets.
The "Robber Tariff Laws"
of the United Sta'es have al
ready helped to impoverish
our home people. The expan-
sion of our territory would only
enable our manufacturing bar
ons to rob the people over
whom we assume jurisdiction.
They have already absorbed
the wealth of our country, and
have subordinated all other in
terests to their greed. | am
opposed to furnishing them
with any more victims.
What right have we to annex
foreign territory without the
consent of thepeople annexed!
The fundamental principle OF
our government is that taxation
and representation must go to
.gether If we annex these
islands we would be compelled
to give the people living there
the rights of American citizen
