Congress Will Slam the Door.

list. Paul Pioneer Press.
The Philadelphia North American
sent to every member of congress the
following question:
DO you favor a law forbidding the
entrance into the United States of those
calling themselves anarchists, and be-
lieving in the destruction, overturning
and subversion of established govern
ments, and an amendment to natural
ization laws making these principles
"a disqualification of citizenship"
The statement that every answer re-
ceived promises vote for such legisla-
ton makes 1t evident that no unneces-
sary time will be permitted to elapse
before congress will slam the door in
the faces of guests who seek our soil
only to destroy institutions whose ben
efits they have hitherto been permitted
to enjoy unmolested.

the prophecy was made true and the vic
torious army OF the union swept back
thru Winchester. driving the enemy
from the Shenandoah valley. These
great traits, Kindness Of heart, and con-
fidence in his cause, have ever been
characteristic Of him. Today the world
knows the story OF his life and his place
in the history OF the country and Of the
world Is secure. We rejoice that his
days of usefulness are not ended. We
rejoice above all that to the people Of
this state, who have so long known and
loved him, his life remain for our guild
ance and comfort.
There are many in the audience who
know that no matter how high he has
advanced in fortunes GROWING slope
he has ever retained those endearing
qualities which have made him. while
one of the strongest, the gentlest of
men and the kindest Of neighbours and
friends.
We may feel assured that no words
of good cheer will be more welcome on
his journey back to health than those
which come from this gathering of his
friends in this great state and city and
from his old companions in arms.
Let us fervently hope and pray that
the day is not far distant when we may
look again upon his noble face and feel
new the pressure of his friendly hand,

PERSONAL.

The Polish novelist sienkiewicz is
very fond Of the chase, especially boar
hunting, and the walls Of his home in
Warsaw are decorated with his trophies,
some of them from Africa. One large
bookcase in mis- library is filed with his
own books in foreign languages. He writes
from ten in the morning till two and in
the evening from nine to twelve, attends
to his correspondence. and makes notes
for future work. His house is plainly
furnished. and his diet very simple
King Edward will soon receive an ad-
dress of congratulation from his Roman
Catholic subjects. 1t may have seemed
a little odd that while so many religious
bodies. including the unceremonious So
ciety Of Friends, lately paid homage to
His Majesty, the Roman Church, above
all churches insistent on outward forms,
should not have been represented. The
fact is that when the Lord Chamberlain
was communicated with on the subject
he replied that all these bodies had pro-
scriptive rights to approach the throne,
and the Roman Catholics had none. The
King, hearing of this, decided TO create
a precedent, with the result that Cardi-
nal Vaughan. the Duke of Norfolk and a
number of their co-religionists will kiss
hands"

4 PRoHIBfTlox CAMPAIGN.

The Prohsbinonlsts are beginning their
campaign early. Il is question Whether
they are not beginning 1t tos early 10
make much Of a success Of It. The noys-
ments they are making now only serve 70
put into existence counter movements
The announcement is made that il is
the purpose Of the Prohibiti0nists TO get
centrol Of the Senate. Heretofore they
have been weak IT. that branch Of the
Legislature. While tAey are trying TO cap
trre the Senate they may fsp 70 hold
control o. the House
II is more than q year before much will
- done towards nominating a candidate
for governor and candida ties for the House
ana Senate. But II the Prohlbiuonlsts be-
gin sgtstins the liquor question nov. the
liquor forces w!u begin TO prepare 70 con-
troll dominating conventions. Having
mcney with which to carry out their
plans, ana being accustomed 70 rely
on organization for success. they viii
likely accomplish more than the Prohibit
tionlsts ia long campaign. Assuming
that this view OF the matter is correct the
Prohibitionists are making a mistake.
There is no doubt that the Prohibition
lists are very much in earnest But are
they more in earnest than they have
been in other years? II they are not,
their chances for success are no better
than IN other campaigns in which they
have made a determined effort to get con
troll Of the state.
There is no doubt they have good deal
to irritste them. Liquor IS freely sold,
though surreptitiously. in Prohibition
counties. But If a general prohibition Law
should be passed would not the same evil
exist? Would not there be blind tigers
just as there are in the Prohibition coun-
ties nov? It Il the belief that there
would that prevents many opponents Of
the liquor traffic from supporting Prohi-
biiion.
Prohibition has certainly not been a
success in Kansas. Il has not been pro
nounced success anywhere. There are rea-
sens for thinking that more has been ae-
complished for the cause Of temperance
by local option than By Prohibition.
Would 1t not be the better plan to con-
tinue 10 work under local option. and 70
assist it by more stringent laws against
selling liquor in Prohibition counties and
against selling it in any part OF the state
on Sundays. There would be a strong pub
ic sentiment in support Of laws Of this
kind

At one of the clubs the other day, says
Tit-Bits, two members were arguing about
will power. The conceited man, who was
in the habit Of boring all present with
his pointless tales said that his will was
stronger than his friends.
You are wrong there" said the quiet
man, 'and I will prove it in this way.
You go and stand in that corner, and 1
will will you to come out of it. You
will against me, and I bet you that 1
will have you from that corner before
1 have commanded you the second time"
The smart one took the bet and put
himself in the corner.
The quiet man said in a commandins
voice, Come out of that corner!"
The other grinned and shook his head.
The quiet man sat down and looked at
him steadily. Five minutes passed. and
then the man of will said, wj,b sheer:
Hadn't you better give II up? don't
feel any influence at all. and can't stand

TAXING FRANCHISES.

The City Council Of Atlanta. IL seems.
intends TO go to the Legislature for au-
thority 10 tax franchises-street railway,
electric lighting and other franchises.
Unless a hard fight is made by the cor
porations interested it is probable that
the cIty's request win be granted. 1t
would be a hardship to the stockholders
Of the corporations II It were granted, be-
cause the stock was issued with the I'M
derstandlng that only the property Of the
corporations should be taxed. The stock
therefore brought a great deal more than
could have been obtained for il II It had
been understood that at some time in the
future franchises would be taxed.
It would be far more just TO so tax the
corporations II larger sum were re-
quired from them, that the bonds could
be made to bear a part OF the additional
burden. The bonds get the benefit of the
franchises as well as the stock. and there
is no good reason why the stock should
bear all Of the additional tax.
There is Of course difficulty in the
way Of putting a part of the tax on the
boHND many VI AnNth oAt htAd ny hOt-
residents. and as bonds are personal prop
erty they can be taxed only at the place
of the residence Of the holder of them.
The injustice TO the stockholders is APP
parent when It is stated that in issuing
bonds only a property tax was taken into
consideration. There was no thought OF
franchise tax. Had there been it is
probable the bonds would have carried a
lower rate of interest. so as to leave some
thing for the stockholders. Besides. most
Of the stock is now held, in all PROBABLE
ity, by persons who bought 1t with the
understanding that there would be no
franchise taxa tax that is likely TO be
50 heavy as to leave little or nothing for
dividends. Some way should he found to
put part Of the proposed additional
burden on the holders of the bonds of the
corporations.

try
This IL the chariot known as Fate and
these are the horses three,
They are known as Greed, Ambition and
Strife, and the wind is not more
They are coursing the vast arena Of life
and their goal is Destiny.
And who is it rides so swift away, o!
who may the driver be?
Stern shows his face through the clouds
of dust-look and your eyes will see
The form of a daring rider there, and his
name is Enmity.
Now. these are the horses black as night
and the driver fierce is he,
They feel the pitiless lash of pride as on
ward they swiftly flee
For he seeks the glittering goal beyond
the goal that is Destiny.
But look. where another chariot goes and
drawn by horses three;
Their driver he drives with a gentle hand
and Love his name shall be,
For the horses he drives are Faith and
Hope and the third is Charity.
White as the foam that vets their lips
are Loves swift horses three;
They. too, are rounding the course Of
life toward the goal chat is Des-
tiny.
But they trample no roses under their
feet and none from their pathway
fee.
Where Enmity's chariot wheels have
been burning track shall be.
While Love looks back with a lingering
smile that all who will may see;
For Enmlly rides with a fierce desire
but Love shall the victor be.

MAY BE NEW PRoBLENs.

At the time Of the formation Of the
billion dollar steel trust we said that the
consolidation Of railways and Industrial
plants would likely be followed BY Ia
Dor strikes Of vast proportions. It begins
to look as If this prediction would come
true much sooner than was expected.
There is strike Of the employees of
one Of the plants Of the American Sheet
Steel Company. This plant is located at
Mckeesport, Pa Until a year ago II
was separate business, and had been
operated by non-union men for forty
years. At that time it became a par,
Of the American Sheet Steel COMPANY.
and recently that company became a part
Of the Morgan billion dollar trust. As
soon as it became a part Of that great
trust the Amalgamated Association,
powerful labor organization in most of
the steel mills Of the country. urged the
McKeesport non-union workers to join the
association and demand that the associa-
ton be recognized by their employees.
Their demand was not acceded to. and
hence the men went on a strike. There
circumstances, such a strike would not
attract much attention. But now. nearly
all of the steel mills Of the country be-
ing joined together, strike In one mill
affects in some way, either directly or
indirectly, the employees OF the entire
trust There are about 10000 employees of
the steel trust, and II all Of them should
go on a strike at once there would be
widespread business troubles and suffer
ing among an immense number of peo-
pie. and such strike Is threatened.
1t is the policy Of the great trusts to
prevent strikes. II is worthy of notice
that the threatened strike on the New
Jersey Central Railroad one of the coal
trust roads. was promptly settled by
yielding to the demands of the en-
ployes. II is probable that the McKees-
port affair will be adjusted before the
strike fever becomes epidemic in all of
the plants Of the trust. 1t will II the DIFF
ferences between employers and employees
can be settled without yielding too much
to the strikers There is likely TO come a
time, however. when labor will demand
more than the trust can grant. Then will
come labor troubles such as never have
been seen in this country.
1t is safe prediction that the problems
solved in forming the mighty trusts,
which now control the railways and in
dustries. were not so difficult of solution
as the problems will be which the labor
employed by the trusts will present i'm the
very near future.
