Once there was an editor,
Who lived long years ago;
He had the SWEETEST Office rooms,
Way down in Authors Row.
One day a poet found him there;
He dragged him forth in glee,
And bound and gagged the ogre, while
He read his po-et-tree.
The editor he bought them all
AS quick rs you could squint.
When someone asked him why, he
said.
'To keep them out of print"
One day he died and went-well, now,
/ really could not say.
Perhaps he went TO heaven, perhaps
He went the other way.
At any rate, his wretched ghost
Refuses to be quiet,
And all the poets in this world
Continue to defy it.
1t turks in every sanctum still,
The editors all know it,
The spirit Of the man who tried
To kill a poor spring poet!

It has been demonstrated that the re-
duction in the war taxes might have
been cut much more extensively by
the last Congress. Secretary Gage es-
minated that it would not be safe to
reduce the revenues by this means by
more than SSO.OOO.OOO But Congress
went further, encouraged by the grow
ing prosperity, and made the reduction
on a basis estimated at S4O.OOO.OOO Not
withstanding that this was regarded as
the safety mark, the revenues for the
first two months Of the fiscal year show
a surplus of about $5,0oO,OOO, and the
Likelihood is for an increase in coming
months. With this condition in mind,
Congress. at the next session, will
doubtless feel constrained to make an
other cut.

BOVINE DEpRAvITY

When confronted with the state
ment that Addicks spoke Of the voters
of old Sussex as "his cattle" certain
persons feign great indignation. Not
against the man who uttered the beau
tiful sentiment, but against the paper
which dared publish it. It is true that
there is no occasion to denounce Adj
dicl,s for his utterance; IT was i'm
polite, but not untruthiul. In fact, no
one has designated the meek and de-
based attitude OF a certain class OF per
sons so well. Cattle have no Opin-
ions. they are neither moral nor ini-
moral. but Immoral. They are
driven TO pasture and back agaiI
at milking time Their lives may be
ideal, bsit that is view depending
upon the opinion Of the critic. II takes
men 10 understand men, ana cattle to
know their kind.

fossor Triggs. OF Chicago, has recently

In my opinion the reason only A,ivO Of

in good circumstances. Many of chem are
well TO do, and could not come within
the INDECENT class, and few of them are
disabled. There has been no application
