mystery of life, he said that, If the
journey be long or short, there was
nothing to carry any one beyond ex-

RULES FOR STAMPS.
New Regulations From the Treasury De-
partment.

pdTlH6NIs
The treasury department, through
Commissioner Scott, has recently made
the following important rulings on sew
eral sections Of the war revenue
stamp tax.
The commissioner holds that where
duplicate real estate deeds are made
necessary by a state law, only one of
them is subject to taxation. The 9th
er should have endorsed upon it the
fact that it is duplicate and that the
original has been duly stamped. The
deed offered for record in the county
where the property is situated is the
proper one to be stamped.
If a power of attorney has been fully
executed prior to July 1, 1898, of course
no liability to the stamp tax would oc-
cur, but if it was made in blank, al
though prior to the above-named date,
does not release it from liability to
stamp tax.
A paid-up insurance policy issued to
a person in lieu of one that has lapsed,
must be stamped.
A quit-claim deed operating as a re-
lease of mortgage is not subject to
taxation, but the certificate Of ac-
acknowledgement to a deed requires 10
cent stamp, except a notarial certifi-
cate of acknowledgment.

CONFERENCE OF CAPTAINS,

There is little probability that the

races on two separate courses after
their experience of last year and in

COOPERATION IN THE AIR.

There seems to be two requisites for
the times to help the American people
to a thorough understanding of their
chaotic condition and the means to
attain better things. A college for
the rising generation, where the new
political economy of socialism shall
be taught, (as has been proposed by
our comrades at Ruskin) and the es-
tablishment of cooperative colonies
of socialists throughout every state
in the nnion, to enable them to live
without resorting to charity and to
educate themselves through practice
and experience, as to how to inaug-
urate and maintain the Cooperative
Commonwealth, when the time be-
comes ripe for it, which the socialism
of the exploiters of the wealth crea-
tiers of the world, the cooperation of
those forming the trusts in every in
dustrv is bringing on with bewildering
rapidity. The spirit of progress and
genius with which the American is
imbued is bound to make him take
the initiatory step ahead of the world
it this great evolution to an intelli-
gent adjustment of human affairs,
and his desire to accomplish it through
peaceful and fair means, without a
disastrous revolution, prompts him
also to the necessary patience.

TO OUR UNoRGANIzED BROTHERS.

A thousand men, in factory large,
Were toiling for their daily bread:
Each labored on from dawn to dark.
For wife and children must be fed.
Each strOve the other to excel
That he might surely hold the place,
For many wished each place tie FILL
And feared Il heartless world to face.
No sense OF Brotherhood was there,
Each wished the best place to secure,
Nor needed when his shopmate failed,
So long as his bread was made sure.
They stood alone, each one for SELF
And had no plan, no purpose true,
To help each other gain his rights,
Union is strength, " they never knew
0 brothers, seek to know the power
That comes to the united band,
When each one helps each other on
United effort, strong and grand.
Seek not each other to o'erreach,
Seek not to crush the weakened one,
But strive to so unite your power
Until your rights are fairly won.
Your strength, your wisdom and your
thought
Alone can raise to loftier height:
Read, study, think, the problem solve,
Then stand united in your might.
