THE ARMY CANTEEN.

The army canteen is a curse for
which Mckinley must account. Be
fore the court Of justice he alone Is
responsible for this continued evil.

coward. This is an established fact

initiating and astonishing record Is

CHATTEL SLAVERY.

There is popular impression that
chattel slavery in Africa, and espe-
cially In British dominlons is a thing
Of the past, But 1t is estimated that
there are fifty million slaves in Africa,
and the Islands Of Zanzibar and Penn
ba, governed by Great Britain, 10000
are held in bondage. The horrors Of
the slave trade are so great that for
each slave who reaches the coast eight
or nine die on the way, so that the
supply OF 1000 slaves smuggled into
Zanzibar represents the numbering Of
about 10000 annually. In Zanzibar
nearly all the hard work is performed
by slaves, and 1t Is common sight to
see women chained together in gangs
of seven, working under the supervl-
sion Of policeman armed with u lash
But the most fiendish treatment OF
slaves is that accorded by the Germans
in the Cammeroon to the unfortunate
natives The details are almost too
horrible to be believed, but have been
sworn to by Germans, officers and
civilians. But the home government
has done nothing to suppress the vii
lany. These facts are respectfully re-
'ferred to those who believe that all
goodness In the world Is contained in
the Anglo-Saxon race and that all the
cruelty and badness is among the
atins.--Justice.

TAXING ENTERPRISE.
NONRESIDENT M'KlNLEY WAS
PUNISHED


President Mckinley made improve
ments in his Canton, Ohio, residence
costing about $4,000 and he also
bought some new furniture to the
amount of $780,
In doing this he gave employment
TO a great many people; not alone to
the men who did the work on the
house Itself, but also to those making
window glass, paint, wall paper, cur
tains, furniture, carpets nails, screws
in fact, tho hundred or more indus
tries engaged in manufacturing build
ing materials and furnishings for
houses.
Furthermore, by embelllshing his
residence he at the same time beauti-
fed the city to that extent and made
1t more attractive, Mr.. Mckinley by
his enterprise, thus benefited the en-
tire community and many laboring
men, Now, what was the consequence
Of his pralseworthy action? As soon
as the improvements were completed
the tax commission of Canton took a
look at II and added Sl,500 to the tax
value of his house and $500 to the value
of his chattels-l. O., furniture. Had
Mr., Mckinley made no improvements,
had he given no employment 10 me-
chanlcs, his tax would have remained
the same as before, but as It Is, he was
deliberately punished for his enter
prise and good intentions by an in
crease Of taXes-or call 1t ine-for
trying to live respectfully and being
good citizen.
Mr. Mckinley being the president OF
the United States, is prominent per-
sonage, and we are glad this happened
to him las II does all Of us), for 1t
| gives us chance to present his case
as horrible example Of the down
right crazy system OF taxation we
labor under, What encouragement
can there be for man to make i'm
proyements when he Is at once pun
lshed for doing so?
The furniture industry Is very much
interested in this matter for a large
part of the taxes on chattels In houses
falls upon the furniture, and 1t stands
to reason that were there no such fool
sh taxes, more and better furniture
would be bought, more new houses
would be built which would need fur
! nj al
ETC., thus giving more employment to
mechanics and laborers, who In their
turn could buy more and better fur
nlture, too.
That people cant see this obvious
fact passes comprehension, OF course
Ii Is well known that a great many
people escape paying these taxes by
perJuring themselves, thus adding that
sin to the debt Of this taxing system,
but President Mckinley couldn't re-
sort to such practices, owing to his
position, That the people will some
day rise to abolish this perjury-breed-
ing, enterprlse-stlning, unjust and RI
dlculous system and adopt instead a
tax at once honest, fair and enterprise
encouraging, there can be no doubC;
but the writer would like to see 1t in
force in his lifetime, and that's why
he will talk and write about 1t at every
opportunity, and give the present sys-
TEN a whack whenever he gets a
chance, Furniture Worker

IMPERIALISM is SUPREME.

Two years ago last month | said
IN my place In the senate that there
would not be any imperialism in tho

seen In those islands an imperial gov
ornment that has no equal on earth,
no counterpart anywhere under heaven
an imperial government with Ave
men, strangers TO the language Of the
country, strangers to the country It.
SELF unacqpanted with the interests Of
its people, sitting and administering
government, taking the money OF the
people and appropratlng 1t without
their consent, ignoring the people en-

the men now sitting and swaylng

strangers to that land. Under mill

then we will suffer hard times"
But, SIR" replied the peasants, You
