As a Tax DOdger.
rom the New York Town Topics.

From the New York Town Topics.
The quibble raised over Colonel
Roosevelt s citizenship is unfortunate
and lamentable. His gallant services
in Cuba almost entitle him to universal
citizenship wherever the flag floats, and
to hail from any place without chal
lenge. He is intensely ambitious, and
has large stock of courage and intel
ligence. His domicile was just where
his ambition could be best gratifed.
Why, therefore, should he, under such
circumstances, form a deliberate intent
to shift his citizenship to place where
inevitably it must be overlooked and
forgotten at the end of an administra-
ton. Intent is the sole test of citizen
ship. and with Roosevelt and his
surroundings, | venture to say, not
sane man can be found who honestly
believes that he ever intended to take
himself out of the State of New York
There is moral to the Roosevelt
story. Repeatedly we have called at
tention to the tricks and devices by
which rich men evade the payment of
their taxes. They benefit most by good
government; they are protected in the
use and enjoyment of their properties (;
vet they stoop to all sorts of meannesses
to dodge the tax collector and leave the
poor to pay all the expenses of public
administration Colonel Roosevelt s
affidavit was one Of these lodges. In
order to escape taxation upon his resi-
dences in this city and Oyster Bay, he
swore himself out of the State of New
York, never dreaming that he was also
swearing himself out of the governor
ship. here that, as matter of fact,
Colonel Roosevelt has never paid taxes
in this city, and an investigation as to
the devise by which he has eluded them
is now in order. | ask that other
wealthy tax dodgers take note of Colonel
Roosevelt peculiarly painful expert
ence. They cannot all be governors,
but they can all he honest.

Miss Davis Dreamed of Death Many
Months Ago.

A circumstance in connection with
the funeral of Miss Winnie Davis,
which has created much interest and no
little discussion here, was told by Mrs.
Davis herself to an intimate friend
yesterday says a Richmond, Va.
special to the Journal
Immediately preceding her departure
for Atlanta last July to attend the Con
federate reunion Miss Winnie had a
vivid dream of a distressing character
in which she was the central figure,
and her surroundings were those of the
valley of the shadow of death -
The dream was so realistic and clear
in detail that it bore upon her mind and
she carried with her to Atlanta the un-
pleasant impression which fingered in
her memory. For fear it would dis
tress her mother in the same way, she
would not tell her. She, however, re-
lated the circumstances to Gen. Prime,
and he told Mrs. Davis who was rend
cred very uneasy over it. A short
while after and before the foreboding
of Miss Winnie dream had worn away
Mrs. Davis also had dream. 1t oc-
Cured few days before starting to
Narragansett Pier. Mrs. Davis says
she dreamed she was in some place un
known to her; there was a great com
motion and stirring of people which she
could not understand She asked a
hurrying passerby the cause of the ex
citement, and he replied, Winnie
Davis is dead. -
These double dreams occurred time
and again to the sorrowing mother dur
ing her daughter illness and added to
her hopelessness for her recovery.

Equine and Canine Surgeons.

Pine Bluff Press Eagle.
Lieut. Col. R. S. Huidekoper, for
merly division surgeon at Chickamauga
and later chief surgeon of Maj. Gen.
Brooke s corps at Porto Rico, has been
ordered to report to the Surgeon Gen
eral at Washington, pending the ac-
ceptance of his resignation. This is
the same Huidekoper whom Gen. San
ger charged, in the presence Of Secre-
tary of War Alger and Surgeon Gener-
al Sternberg at Lexington, last week,
with being "a rank veterinary surgeon
who does not know the meaning of the
work disinfectan6. This terrible ar
raignment as division surgeon of mill
tary camp in which the lives of thous-
ands of volunteer soldiers were virtual
ly in his keeping, and it developed that
before the declaration of war he was a
partner in horse, dog and cat sani-
tarium in New York City that had been
fortunate enough to successfully operate
upon the pet dog of Mrs. Mckinley for
serious ailment. If this statement,
which is openly made in the public
prints, is true, it constitutes one of the
grayest scandals in connection with the
management of the War Department by
Gen. Alger, and should receive the
early attention of the commission just
appointed by the President to investi-
gate that department.
1t is inconceivable that the President
of the United States should recommend
or appoint as division surgeon of vast
army third rate horse doctor who had
performed an operation upon his wife s
favorite dog but the charge is made by
those who claim to know, and will be
accepted by the public as true unless
proven otherwise.
Meantime, Maj. Gen. Brooke has
cabled from Ponce to Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin as follows:
"Chief Surgeon Huidekoper being or
dered away, I must have an able officer
of rank and experience in his stead at
once.

SEMI OFFICIAL letters have been re-

at the war department. These letters
give some account of the condition
which exists. what these officers are
doing in the province of Santiago.
They say they are getting along as well
as could be expected, and the Cubans
are being treated we'll, and those who
are willing TO work given employment,
the more intelligent being selected to
positions in the government service
which they are fitted to occupy. The

that at this time he could not see his

certain regiments, and for that reason
he would be unable to grant the
senator 5 request. Secretary Alger re-
iterated what Mr. Mckinley had said.
In reply Senator Berry stated that in
his opinion at least 50 600 volunteers
could be safely mustered out of the

it, this so enraged him that he nearly

THE EFFECT ON lola.
Will Bonds Make Investments Here
More Desirable.

The point has frequently been made
by one side and as often denied by
the other, i'm the bond question, that
to issue more bonds would prejudice
prospective investors against lola
property. Vice versa, those who fav-
or the bonds claim that the announce
ment to the world that lola is going
to issue $4,000 more bonds will cause
people to invest here and will not
drive away outside capital, because
investors will see that when lola gets
municipal ownership, the path of the
Taxpayer will be strewn with roses
As an instance of the latter faith,
one enthusiastic bond voter declared
the morning after the call to issue
bonds was made that he considered
his lola property, not a large prop
erty either, worth 500 more than he
did the day before the call. In other
words, he felt richer, because he
thought he could sell his property
for 500 more because of the increased
demand for property.
Tuesday two men were talking on
the streets of lola, both of them well
known and both of them willing that
their names should be made known.
Jas. Townsend, one of the prosperous
farmers west of the river, an old
timer who is widely known and es-
teemed, was talking to Mr.. G. New
ton another well known old resi-
denter. Mr.. Townsend told Mr. New
ton that he came to lola yesterday
with the express purpose of buying
some lola real estate. He looked
around and heard gas talk and was
informed of the proposed Issuance
of bonds. He told his old friend Mr..
Newton that he had the money ready
to invest, but had decided to
wait and see the out come of the pres
ent fight and should the bonds be
issued, he would most certainly not
buy property here.
Mr.. Townsend owns several good
farms and his faith cannot be ques-
toned Here is an example close at
home of the very misfortune predicted
by this paper. lola wants capital to
come here now, and capital knows
enough about bonds to be very Ger.
tain that they have to be paid by
taxation. And while it waits to see
the result of the present contention
lola waits.
Is this what the residents of lola
the men who earn wages here as well
as the men who own property here
want?
