Important as these questions are,
there are other questions involved in
this campaign peculiar to our people as
Minnesotans, that deserve our attention
and the careful consideration OF the
people quite as do the national qucs-
tons.
First and foremost among these is the
question of taxation. What I assumed
the discharge of the duties of my Of
fee, I found, as I had contended the
facts to be in the preceding campaign,
that the bulk of the taxes collected by
the state and by the municipalities un-
der it were levied and collected from
the peoples homes, rather than upon
income bearing wealth and the specitl
advantages and franchises enjoyed by
the few. In my message to the legisla-
ture I said upon this subject:
The truth Of the matter is that our
state is today cxacting taxes on the lit
tie stock, tools, implements-the means
of subsistence of numbers OF our citi-
zens who are struggling to support
themselves and their families, while
thousands who possess great wealth cs-

The Head Of The House.

Mans glory has departed, il a de-
cision of Virginia judge is to be.
come the law of the land. He is the
whole thing no more at home. His
sceptre has departed from him, and,
instead Of being the big boss around
the Preside, carrying things with a
lordly and mighty hand, he is to take
second place, or whatever place may
be assigned him.
1t comes about in this way. Ac-
cording to a special dispatch from
Richmond, Va, Judge Purnell Of the
United States circuit court of appeals
has put the women OF Virginia in a
position to defy the men by holding
in decision rendered that married
women living with or apart from her
husband is the head of the house.
Some time ago Mrs. Marion Richard
son, storekeeper, filed petition in
bankruptcy: at the same time she
claimed 81, 600 under the homestead
exemption act. Judge Waddell de-
clined TO grant her petition on the
ground that as she was married and
living with her husband, she was not
the head Of the house. The case
went to the circuit court OF appeals
and Judge Purnell decided that she
was the head Of the house."

W. & Us TRICK PLAYS.
They VIII be Tried In the Game against
West Virginia University
Next Saturday.

WASHINGTON, Pa. Nov. l4.-The
Washington and Jefferson foot ball
team had the first practice Of the week
at College park this afternoon.
Schrontz's shoulder Is sore from the
injury sustained on Saturday, but he
will no doubt be able to enter the
practice In a day or two. The 'varsi-
ty and scrub teams lined up against
each other for two short halves this
afternoon, and the showing made by
the regulars was very favorable.
Montgomery was at half back for =
short time, but retired later as he Is
considerably bruised as result CT the
contest on Saturday. The varsity
played a snappy game, and went
through the scrubs easily. The indi-
cations are that the game on next
Saturday will be the easiest on the
w. II j. schedule. The local team
has never had much difficulty 10 de-
feating the West Virginia university
team and the latter Is weaker this
year than 1t has been for some time.
The locals will prepare we'll for the
contest, however, and will attempt To
work some new trick plays In which
the men were instructed to-day. The
members of the team are greatly en-
couraged by their good showing last
week and will work hard from now to
the end cf the season.

Defunct UniontOwn Glass Company
Must Pay Creditors.

decision of Judge Reppert handed
down today the former directors of
the defunct Uniontown Glass com
pany will be compelled to pay over
to the creditors various sums of
money aggegating $4,000. The SUIT
has been pending in the courts for
four years and the creditors had al

inally begun by George Roth against
w. Ell. Playford, j. K. Ewing, Jr., j.
K. Ritenour, James NJ Hustead, Dir.
A. P. Bowie. William L. Robinson
and George A. Mccormick.
The finding of the court is, in
brief, based upon the fact that the
directors incurred debts greater than
the amount of the capital stock paid
in, and therefore the directors held
are liable for the debts The direc-
tors are required to pay the following
claims Union Planning Mill compa
ny, $203.30; w. R. Grace d Co.,
$32796; Laughed Modisette Plan

Lieutenant j. d. Hall of Clarks-
burg has been in town on business
He was formerly very well known here
having been frequent visitor here
about ten years ago. When getting
into the center of town on this trip he
did not recognize very many places as
nearly all of the old landmarks have
been torn down and given place TO
new buildings.
The appearance Of the town as COM

To come here was very marked and
although there is great deal of our

Of it has not been told. Few towns
in the state have grown faster in the
past ten years than this place.
Harrison county is having warm

which there IS plenty in the county.
At Wallace the worst situation exists.
A large number Of guards have been
secured and they patrol Gordon

day and prevent any from passing who
havn't permits from the proper author

there are several well defined cases of
smallpox in the county. There has
been much excitement over it but
this is now dying down and the phys
icians think that they can break up
the disease without much more trou-
BILE.
About half of Company X of Clarks-
burg are among the guards and they
are acting in very creditable manner
as would be expected OF this organi-
zation.
A special from Clarksburg says that
this morning John Sweringen one of
the smallpox guards while sleeping on
the railroad track was killed by a
West Virginia Central freight train.
From several other sections Of the
state come reports of smallpox. The
southern counties are badly infected
and Randolph has reported several
cases. 1t may be that an outbreak
of the disease will take place over the
state this winter. Vaccination is
urged so that it may not gain foot
hold In this section.
