WHAT CRIME COSTS YEARLY.
Astounding Figure. Showing Loss In,
the OmifAi tfafea. a

Aet0uuding Ftgures Showing Loss In,
the Onitei tates.
Astounding is the yearly cost OF.
crime to the people of the United,
States, says the Anaconda Standard.
A recent investigation undertaken By
the authority of Congress places the,
financial loss to the nation at almost.
II not quite, billion dollars-a sum.
equal to the national debt. And this.
Is very conservative estimate, and In
cludes simply the taxation charge ana
the average income Of criminals. The
actual loss and damage caused by
crime, malicious destruction OF prorer-
ty, the value Of life and labor sacri-
hced, the cost Of locks, bolts and bars
would jump the total easily to two bill
lions per annum.
The vastness Of the problem ilwarfs
by comparison such questions as I'm
pefialism, the tariff, expansion and
free silver into insignificance. The
control and eventual determination OF
the habitual criminal, which hard
headed prison officials say il possible,
IL the FIRST important step to be taken.
That several thousand earnest inyesti-
gators, for practically the frst time in
history, are devoting their lives to
painstaking. scientific study OF the
problem, 10 hopeful indication that
their work will result finally In suc-
cessful solution. wv

Dear Charley:
Congratulate me. The best thing pos.
sible has happened. You know how I
have always felt about women in bust
ness and how put out | was when /
discovered that l had bought into a
business Of which a woman was the
head. l felt sure | couldn't get along
with that sort of an arrangement. and
now l shan't have to try. Pres. Jones
of the old Jones-Stanton company and
| were married a week ago. We've
changed the name of the concern to the
John Stanton company, and have con-
solldated all the offices. Mrs. Stanton
says she will still continue as chairman
of the board. Yours, JACK.

Lynching Is an expression of distrust
by the people Of the efficacy of legal
methods to secure the adequate pun
ishment of criminals, and but for this
distrust lynchings would occur with
vastly more infrequency than they do
now. In order to secure real reform,
let the good work be devoted to estab-
fishing the public confidence in the suf-
ficiency Of the law to protect life and
rights.

bachelor. I'm just as much afraid of
a petticoat as used to be. Yours,

BY the recent invasion of their land
by American millionaires who buy cas-
ties and steamship lines, furnish loco
motives and construct underground
railways, the British, it seems, have
been taught how to make joke. They
have looked upon Morgan, Yerkes, Car
negie and the rest with appreciation,
and while most of them perhaps have
growled, some Of them have had a suf-
ficient sense Of humor to laugh. An
illustration of the humor Is to he found
in the suggestion that the next matric-
ulation examinations at the UNIVERSE
ties, or higher civil-service examina-
tons. include these questions:
Geography-Draw a map of the United
States. marking London, Glasgow and
Birmingham.
Rule Of Three-If man does a piece
of work in four days, how much quicker
will an American do it at half the sal
ary?
Political Noncompliance millionaires
over here state that they feel as If this
were their own country. The German
Emperor when last visiting us declared
that he felt perfectly at home. Account
for this.
History-Write note on the invasions
Of Great Britain and the rebellion and
subsequent subjugation of the Angles.
Give dates Of accesslons of Yerkes l.,
Sloan. Morgan, the contractor. and other
conquer0rs: also Of the Qualification OF
St. Carnegie. Say what you know Of any
Of these.
Trade Problem-You are an English
manufacturer. An extensive order is re-
ceived for locomotives for the trans-Af-
rican Railway. Which would you do,
demand the entire alteration of the rail.
way to ct the six locomotives you have
in stock, or recommend an American
rival?
Travel--You are an American million.
aire travelling for recreation. Which
would you take back with you as souve-
Mrs, London or Paris? State your rea.
sons for preferring one of these tr.nkets
There is good humor ald good fun in
the suggestion, but none the less the
skit serves to show how completely the
Briton has been subordinated by the
American. 1t is not altogether an idle
question to ask II 1t take an English
man four days to do a piece Of work,
how much quicker will an American do
1t. We are beating them in the indus
trial competition all along the line
from the great managers like Morgan
and Schwab down to the men who
swing the hammers. London. Glasgow
and Birmingham are not vet in the Uni.

Dear Ellen:
You know push this thing myself
so you won't mind my writing you this
way, instead of with pen. I've incor-
porated my business, sold thi.d or
the stock to a young man named John
Stanton, and installed him as secretary
and manager. The sale was made while
| was in New York, and you should
have seen him stare when got back
and he discovered that l was the +.
Jones Of the company and his president.
l suppose he thought l was man
with large chin whisker. I hardly
know what to make of him vet. He
may be good business man, but he's
got to get over starting and blushing
every time l speak to him. He acts
like he was afraid Of me, and can't
stand that kind Of man. But he has
nice eyes and rather pretty blonde
mustache. Lovingly,
FLORENCE.

The Income Tax.
Columbus Press Post.


1t is gratifying to know that public
opinion is fast crystalizing in favor of
an income tax, AS one among the
most equitable ways in which reve-
nues for the support OF the govern
ment can be secured. Its adoption to
the needs OF local government, rs we'll
as to those OF the general government,
is also becoming generally recognized.
Congressman Grosvenor has publicly
announced that "there is no fairer or
more equitable tax than that which is
levied upon profits and the gains of
business" That man with an in
come tax of ten thousand dollars a
year year should 60 untaxed, while
the man with an income OF but one
thousand should be taxed to the ex.
tent of twenty per cent of that in
come, is an arrangement that cannot
merit the approval of any honest citi-
zen; still that is one of the results Of
our present system OF taxation which
We meet with every day. The Demo-
cratic party, as a whole, has been adj
vocating the basing good portion OF
our tax levy upon incomes, for some
time back. Now, with influential
members of the Republican party ad-
vocating the same thing. We may rea-
sonably hope to see it soon adopted in
some form.

Fortune in Soapsuds.

There are hundreds OF cloth-weaving
factories in the county of Yorkshire,
England, and many tons of soap are
used yearly for securing the wool be-
fore it is spun. Soap, of coarse, makes
soapsuds and runs away into the
drains, unless there is a reason for
