Those people who have been hoping
for an earlv reduction Of war taxes

secretary Of the treasury, he gives the
receipts for the year as $273, ,4S4, ,573,

year of $lO2, 2,6l7 900. Notwithstanding
this enormous increase Commissioner
Wilson urges the amendment Of the

Stamping of receipts for individual

ELECTION is past and politics
now cease to be the all absorbing
theme. Everybody will be glad
to have rest from this discussion
and to turn their attention to other
matters. 1t may be little hard
on editors. For six months topics
of immediate and momentous in
terest have been forced upon them.
1t was not a matter of discovery OF
themes that would interest or
profit readers; it was a matter OF
selection. Now the editor must
dig for themes. 1t is no easy job.
To fill a paper with matter that
shall be interesting, worth reading
and in such style that it will be
read seems easy to everybody ex-
cept the man who tries to do it.
Many an article which seems to
have been spontaneous, is read in
few moments, may have required
hours of time to gather data in
facts and figures, and may have
been rewritten several times be-
fore it came into such shape that
the writer would get his own con-
sent for its publication. A fine
article may fall flat because it is
not appropriate to the times or
has no interest for the readers for
whom it was written. The editor
is always between Scylla and
Chagibdis: between the devil of
careless writing and the deep sea
OF puo' ion. L
avoid the former and satisfy the
latter. But the campaign is over
and we are in for it.

CALIFORNIA in the recent cleo
ton carried constitutional am
endment exempting church prop
-erty from taxes. For several
years the Golden state was the
only one in the Union tax church
property. By this recent action
California joins Minnesota, Kan
sas, Al kansas and Alabama in ex-
empting churches by constitutional
provision. All the other states do
so by statute. In 1875, President
Grant, in message to congress,
recommended taxation of church
property, and various states dis
cussed it, but since then it has not
been public question.

mortgage for $65, 900, given by the
Mississippi Valley Telephone company to
John E. Andrus, of New York, was filed
for record In the city clerks office yes
terday. The mortgage is given to insure
the payment Of note dated Feb. 5, 1900,
running for one year. with interest at Z
per cent per annum. The principal and
interest are to be paid in gold coin. The
mortgage covers the property of the COM
pany in Minneapolis and st. Paul, In
Guiding the franchises granted by the
city council in both cities The loan was
authorized by the stockholders of the
company and the mortgage is signed by
J. c. Hubinger, as president, and Charles
F.~Weisman, secretary.
There was some question raised by the
city officials yesterday as to whether the
company could mortgage it's property un>
der the franchise granted without the
consent of the council. Section s of the
ordinance granting rights to the COM
pany, however. simply provides that the
company shall not bond, mortgage or
incumber it's exchange or conduit sys-
tenn for more than rs per cent of the
actual value thereof. Section of the
ordinance provides that the company
shall not dispose of It's stock, or any part
thereof, or It's rights, or any of Its prop
erty or effects to any other telephone
or other company now or hereafter oper-
ating within the city Of st. Paul, or
make any consolidation, without the con-
sent of the common council, to be passed
by two-thirds vote.
The legal department, when asked as
to the rights Of the city under the fran
chise being affected by the mortgage,
said nothing had been submitted by the
company regarding the mortgage.

NOT AN AGE OF CHANCE.
Success, Rev. c. B. Mitchell Says


Only Comes After a Struggle.
Rev Charles Bayard Mitchell, of Mime
apolis, addressed an appreciative audi
enca In the gymnasium of the Young
Mems Christian association last night,
giving his lecture. 1.-THE Prizetaker." The
lecture was directed especially for the
benefit of young people. Mr.. Mitchell said
in part:
This is not an age of chance. Moth
ing ever happens. Everything worthy
was accomplished after a struggle against
obstacles and a contest in which a well
directed effort prevailed. The prize does
not fall to men by chance.
He who takes the prize in life and at
tains his object, is he who grasps the
laws which dominate success early in
life. Not only does he grasp the laws
which make it possible to succeed, but
he applies them after a continued fight to
win, wherever he finds an opening.
81 do not say that circumstances are
nothing. The weight of poverty, uncon-
genial surroundings, bad ancestry, heri-
tage and a thousand unavoidable evils Is
a drag which often sends "a man to a
low station. 1 do not call upon young
men and women simply to rise above
their surroundings and find success in
the clouds. Not that But there is a GER
tain element Of success possible under
any circumstance or condition. Those
weighed down by natural drags and the
load of adversely common to the human
race can win their prize through applica-
ton, the drudgery which makes success
possible after years of toll, and by con-
stantly looking towards their object in
life and striving honestly to obtain it.
Those who occupy mediocre positions in
life are those who are satisfied with small
things. A definite purpose In life makes
prize-taking possible. The men who drift
through life hoping that some chance
will land them in the station which they
seek, without effort on their part, are
the men who make failures possible

DEATH OF w. H i MCDOWELL
Assistant City Ticket Agent of the
NiIyygukee- Passes Away,


Milwaukee Passes Away.
The death at st. Joseph's hospital yes
terday morning of w. H. Mcdowell caus-
ed sincere regret in the MiIwaukee's To-
cal railroad offices. Since he left his work
in the Milwaukee city ticket offices a
week ago yesterday, there has been but
little on which to base a hope of recov~
cry and the end of his illness was not
unexpected.
Mr. Mcdowell was taken to st. Jo..
sephs suffering from appendicitis. His
physicians held out hopes of recovery
through an operation, but the later ex-
aminations revealed the presence Of an
abcess in the abdominal cavity, which
had grown sufficiently to be of itself a
cause of death. For three days past his
condition had been most serious, and he
gradually sank, dying early yesterday.
The deceased was city ticket agent of
the Milwaukee road, and was thirty
years of age. He was a married man,
having been united to Miss Laura Black,
of La Crosse. Wis, only last Easter. He
had been In the employ of the Milwaukee
almost constantly since a boy, and was
generally liked. When death came, his
wife, a sister and brother were at his
bedside The remains were taken to
Dampier's yesterday and will be sent to
the home of his parents in Sparta today.

REPORT OF STATE LIBRARY.
Librarian Johnson Says 1t Is Now n
"WOrking Library"

State Librarian T. w. johnson yester
day filed his annual report with Gov.
Lind. The document deals with the num-
Der of books purchased and on hand at

classified list, giving the number of vol
umes of each category.
The total number of books in the state
law library is 1892, which is comprised
as follows: Bound volumes, rs, 792; I'M
bound volumes, PA, and duplicates 1856
During the year 1365 new books were re-
ceived, of which 1853 were purchased and
the rest donated in exchange for volumes
printed by the state. The amount re-
ceived from several sources for the pur-
chase of books was S3,631.31.
Mr.. Johnson states in his report that no
decidedly new lines were followed in
maintaining the library, except that
many books, little used and of miscel
laneous character, that have for years
been piled up in various corners of the
library unfortunately. have been thor
oughly sorted and given places on the
shelves. All the current sets of books
have been maintained and gaps filled.
Mr.. Johnson describes the collection as
a working library, with a "place for
everything, with everything in It's place"
