The Important Question.

The Important Question.
When the rich and the poor are equal,
And merged in a mighty whole;
When there's neither prince nor pau
per,
And soul Is revealed to soul;
When the north and the south are
mingled,
And there is no east or west,
Nor time. nor tide, we shall see it
That what has been done Is best.
At last with our senses sharpened,
Swinging from sphere to sphere,
Well read the Book of Ages,
Our eyes made strong and clear,
Well learn that, were dreams all
granted.
We'd lose where we thought to win;
That this is . vain endeavor-
Too long for the Might Have Been.
And then, dear heart, you will know
AS you never knew before;
In my Holy of Holes enter
Through eagerly opening door.
You will know that loved you, loved
you
With a love that half-confessed;
That | would have married you glad
ly-
Would your father have done the
rest.

anything they wanted in this city.

The requisites of government are
that there be sufficiency of food, suf-
ficiency of military equipment and
confidence of the people in their ruler.
If he cannot be helped, and one Of
these must be dispensed with, the
military equipment should be fore

tSpecrOT.
That accident was complication in
Robert Hardy's seven days. 1t was de-
lnanding of him precious time that he
longed TO spend in his family. At one
time in the afternoon as he worked at
the Office Mr.. Hardy was tempted to
resign his position and go home. come
what might. But, to his credit he 1t
said, even in his most selfish moments
formerly he had been faithful to his
duties at the office. At present no one
could take his place at once. He felt
that his duty to the company and to
the public demanded his services at the
time of crisis in railroad matters.
So he staid and worked on, praying
as he worked for his dear ones and
hoping, as no bad news came from
home, that Clara was better. He had
been to the telephone several times and
had two or three short talks with his
wife, and now, as it began to grow
dark in the office, just as the lights
were turned on, the bell rang again,
and Mrs. Hardy called him up to tell
him that the minister, Mr.. Jones, had
called and wanted to see him about
some of the families that were injured
In the accident in the foundry room.

Appointing a
TRUSTEE

A man in making bis will often
leaves certain sum of money to be
held in trust for one or more of his
children, the income to be paid to them
until they reach certain age when
the principal is to be handed oyertok
them. He does this not because he
does not wish them to have it at his
decease and enjoy its benefits, but be-
cause he hesitates placing the respon-
slblllty of the investment of his money
on their young shoulders and is anx-
lous to avoid the risk of their being
approached by unreliable persons who
might persuade them to invest their
money in all sorts of schemes. result
ing in loss of part of, if not of ali
the principal. Then he may leave a
sum of of money to be held in trust for
his wife during her life time, or a por-
ton OF his estate for the use of q
charitable institution during its ex-
lstence. Hence a few OF the many
reasons for the appointment of q

In September, 1890. the grand jury

Many cases were presented to the

every instance the jury refused to In.

In the meantime their families have

SOME VETERAN FACTS.

Louis Weber, Who Has Bought Grand
Boulevard Home, Scheduled 1905 at
His Present HOuse-Other Items.
Louis Weber, head of the famous
loan house of Weber, is very rich
man.
Mr.. Louis Weber has been living mt
100 Walnut street on the West Side for
years.
He recently paid $4,000 for q grand
mansion on the Grand boulevard, and
Of course he paid cash for it.
Now all of this proves that Louis
Weber was not "brOke' last year.
Yet how much personal property do
you suppose Louis Weber was assessed
ON last year?
He was assessed on SG05 at 100 Wal
nut street.
Who accepted this schedule?
Who swOre to IL!
Here are some facts for the Assessor,
or the grand jury to investigate.
The total value of the Weber personal
property as turned in by them was:
Louis Weber, 100 Walnut street
$685..
Louis Weber, 3i1 South Clark street
81, 400.
Louis Weber, $40 South Clark street
$500. L,.,
Chicago Credit Company, Si4O.
People who ought to know say tina
Weber Is n millionaire and that his per
sOnal property should be assessed al
81 100000.
The same man says that the Weber
business AT 34l and 345 South CLARK
street should be assessed at $780, 600
and that the Chicago Credit Company
should he assessed at S2OO,OOO.
This Of course is u matter for the
Assessors to look into. We are simply
looking M the matter from the stand
point of the public.
The public cannot understand how
men who will follow man 10 the END
of the earth for the last dollar of usu
rious interest can escape when they
schedule so little personal property.

wEBERs ARE REPUBLICANS.

Hence Democratic Employees Wonder
How They Get Their Pull ut the City
Ha11.
The Weber gang are Republicans.
The city employees IRE Democrats.
This fact makes the City Hall en-
ployes wonder exceedingly rs to how
the Webers get such an awful pull ut
the City Hall.
The fact that they are Republicans
may help the Webers with the Board of
Assessors.
Will 1t help the Assessors with the
People?
We shall see.

10 Fact the Schedules Sworn 10 by Some
Of the Fellows Should Be
Investigated.
The Board Of Review Should Summon the Entire Outfit Before
Il and Schedules that Are False Sent
to the Grand Jury.

The persistency Of the confidential
credit men and loan sharks" In using
public offices to collect usurious debts
alleged to be due them has attracted
public attention to a new phase of the
subject.
The public announcement made by
the City Treasurer that he would not
allow his office to be longer used as u
collection agency by sharks" has been
made good in deed as well rs in word.
But the public has been interested
keenly in the amount of business
past in the City Treasurer's and other
public offices.
The public Is also keenly Interested
mt present In the amount of business
the sharks transact in the county
offices.
The amount transacted Is very great
1t was shown last year that one firm
Of sharks alone had over 800 policemen
In their debt.
Every payday saw thousands Of dol.
lars handed out to the sharks by pub.
lie employees Of every description.
Naturally the public is now anxious
to learn what amount Of personal prop
erty taxes the sharks have been paying
on their immense incomes.
When II Is remembered that not only
public employees, but salaried people
generally, owe hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars to these men and pay from
10 per cent. to anywhere further up for
the use Of these great sums, 1t Is but
natural that the public should exhibit
some interest In the matter.
The public Is especially Interested In
the personal property scheduled by
sharks who want to use the public Of
fees for their private ends.
In another column the figures Of the
Weber crowd as published In 1899 are
given.
They speak for themselves.
The pawnshop alone Is worth many
times what they scheduled their whole
menagerie at.
1t might be we'll for the Board Of
Review to summon the following after
scanning the schedules put in by them
this year:
