Voters should not forget that the
salvation of the city gas works does
not depend upon the passage of the
present loan ordinance, by any means.
An ordinance which would refund the
compromise loan and provide for the
purchase of the electric plant would
attain the same result in a much more
suitable way, and would command the
unqualified endorsement of every
body.

incident not long ago about it, Some
chap had come from the Missippi val

are very high tides. When the boat
landed him at the end of the long pier
extending over the tide flats the water
was low and the new man didn't notice
anything but a wide stretch of sand
between the boat and the town. 1t
was in the evening about dark and was
raining, and he went to the hotel on
the front street and stayed there, going
20 bed without having gone out for a
walk The next morning when he got
up he looked out and the tide was in,
the water coming up close to the hotel
He gazed at the widespread waters for
an instant, and, throwing up his hands
in establishment, he exclaimed, Gee
whiz, but it must have rained hard
last night Then he hurried down
stairs to the Office to find out if there
was any danger from the flood, and the

And so we children. just for fun,
Said we would dress like o1d-time
folks.
And I'd be Martha Washington
We searched through all the garret's
chests
And found. among forgotten boards,
The stiffest silks, and old brocades,
And ruffied caps and furnished
swords
And when at last we all were dressed,
We went to my great-grandma'
room.
She smiled and colored with delight.
Until her checks were all IN bloom
But somehow, her blue eyes grew
grave.
AS each girl told her chosen name.
And finally she gently said,
1T is a very pretty game
yet take care, children. that you
wear.
Not only clothes of ancient days.
But manners of those gracious DANES
Who won all by their gentle ways.
The brow beneath your powdered
Is very fair. my great-grandchild;
So keep your thoughts; and let your
eyes
Reflect a heart both true and mild.
This hand which holds a painted fan
Must work, that tired hands may rest;
Since Martha Washington, we know.
Could spin and weave at wants
request
The feet where buckIed slippers
shine
May some day tread thorny road
Hold fast the pictures of brave lives
And never faIter with the load"

And down the hall our steps we
turned

But every girl her lesson learned.

HIGH PRICE OFPAPER.
TARIFF TAX ON WOOD PULP A
COSTLY ONE.
May Compel Subscribers Pay More
for Their Country Newspaper = The
Cry for It's Instant Repeal Very
Loud-Paper Trust Robbery.

There are very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should be re-
pealed, and there is no reason in the
interest of American industry that
pleads for the continuance of these
taxes They are now simply an e1e-
ment Of robbery under color of law,
and they should be effaced from our
statutes.
The paper trust is now taxing the
newspaper and book publishers of the
country many millions, not because of
any such actual increase in the cost of
producing paper, but because the trust
has the power to extort from the pur-
chasers of paper up to the extent that
would make tariff-taxed foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
manded here. This trust has played it's
scheme of extortion to the uttermost,
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American in
dustry and that has become only
agent to rob the consumers
TWo-thirds of the wood pulp used in
the manufacture of paper for American
consumption should oUue from can
ada but it is excluded by a tariff tax,
and we are now rushing headlong in
the destruction of our forests, while
Canada, with its almost 1imitlesS sup
ply of timber, cannot reach our mar
kets because of the tax imposed by
the tariff
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
first, that the paper trust should be
at once halted in its rapid destruction
of our American forests by the adm1s-
| sion of free wood pulp from Canada
and, second, that the present extortion
| practiced by the paper trust upon pub
| fishers of newspapers and books shall
cease to have the protection of the gov
eminent.
| The time has come when any trust
that makes arbitrary profits by tariff
| duties must cease to be protected by
/ the government. Where American in
dustry needs protection it is reason
able to permit it, but where alleged
protection is used only for systematic
robbery, it must be overthrown.
| We can now manufacture paper as
| cheap1y as any country in the world
There is no excuse whatever for a tax
upon the manufactured articles, and
| the raw material should be free, not
| only because the general principle is
| correct but because if it shall not be
done promptly our forests will be prac-
tical1y destroyed within few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber OF
Canada from our markets
| Paper and pulp must be made free
of all taxes, as the paper trust has dem
| onstrated that these taxes serve only a
single purpose-that is to invite rob-
| berry under color of law.-Phi1adelphia
