The Tax on knowledge.

There IS not in the entire tariff
schedules more needless and hurt
full tax than that on print paper and
the wood-pulp used inits manufacture
The tax is not needed for revenue,
for the House has passed bill to cut
Off S77 100000 Of surplus.
1t is not needed for 'sprotection"
for our paper-makers last year export
ed 81, 1924, 073 worth of paper and. our
pulp mills sold abroad 46, 9SS,6O5 pounds
of raw material.
In SO far as the tariff increases the
cost OF newspapers and cheap books it
is tax on knowledge-the most in
excusable and harmful of all taxes in
a Republic.
In SO far as it prevents the importa-
lion of wood-pulp from Canada and
Northern Europe it puts a premium
On the destruction OF our forests of
tpruce and other pulp woods, which is
hserfous national injury.
The American Newspaper Publish
NH' Association at its recent meeting
IN this city adopted q resolution ask
Ing Congress "to abolish the duty on
wood-pulp, mechanical ground wood
and lumber used IN the manufacture
OF paper, and that the duty on news
print paper be reduced" Against the
united demand of the press, regard
less of party, upon SO obvious a basis
of reason and of justice, this "taritf

Italian. In the Church.

The influence of the Italians in the
affairs of the church can be better
understood when it is known that
more than half the members of the
college of cardinals are Italians.
There are now 81 cardinals, of whom
81 have been appointed by Leo XIII.
since he was elected pope, in Febru-
airy, 1873. OF these 81 are from Italy
and 80 from the rest of the world
eight from France. seven from Aus
tria, five from Spain. two from Ger
many, two from Ireland and one
each from Poland, England, Portugal,
Belgium, Australia and the United
States. Three OF the Italian card
inals are from Sicily, representing a
population of $685., 766, while there is
only one in all America, with popu-
lation of 100000. Twenty-Five
cardinals reside at Rome and are in
actual control of the affairs of the
church. OF these 10 are Italians and
three are foreigners.-Ch Chicago Rec.

FAIR PROFIT IN PORK.
Hogs VIII Command Reasonably
High Price fop Some Little
Time to Come.

Prices in the hog market have been
what may be called firm for good
many months. That they are to re-
main 50 is indicated to some extent
by the anxiety shoWp BY the packers
who are doing all possible to stimulate
hog raising. The recent high prices
have resulted in the marketing of o
good many light hogs. In some Of the
Chicago markets gppd many light
pork lo;ns are being sold, some OF tie
loins weighing about five pounds
zach, less than half the usual. The
pigs were evidently marketed because
their owners feared drop in prices,
but this very process is most likely g
prevent drop in prices by decreasing
tha supply OF mature hogs. We do not
mean to say that the prices are to
stay at the present point. That would
be absurd. The market must and viii
change In response to the mnlti tudipls
Influences that are always affecting It.
But the prices of hogs will for Q long
time at least remain high enough to
permit of the wise feeder and iudicioue
marketer making profit on his invest
fnent as well as to get pay for his work.
There are fey farmers that raise too
many hogs. II IS more uenal for him

Is There spanish-War Hoodoo?

Is There a Spanish.War Hoodoo?
President Roosevelt's findings on
the appeal of Admiral Schley, which,
though evidently intended to be strict
~ fair and impartial, fail to satisfy
either side to the controversy, leaving
both the chief figures in sense "vic-
Gins TO circumstances, will tend to
Strangthen the superstition which is
said to prevail at Washington that the
Spanish war cast a baleful influence
over every prominent participator.
President Roosevelt has thus far es-
capped, but the superstitions exist that
his political future will be hurt by
this affair. They point to the long
list of appointments. Gen. Shafter
lost in Cuba what reputation he prev
iously had. Gen. Lawton was killed
In the Philippines. Admiral Dewey
parted with his popularity overnight
by doing what he thought was gal
liant and generous act. President Nc
Kinley was assassinated. Sampson is
dying, his mind and body wrecked.
Schley is deprived of the recognition
which his friends and large portion
OF the people think should be his.
Secretary Long has had crushing per-
Sonal grief. Ex-Secretary Alger will
be haunted by 'embalmed beef"until
he dies. Gen. Miles has been bitterly
and publically reprimanded for express
sin an opinion that most of his fellow
citizans applauded. Capt. Hobson IS
sight has been SO injured that he asks
to be retired. Many men who fought
valiantly have not been rewarded by
promotion. There have been heart
burns over the division of bounty
money.
OF course no educated and sensible
person believes in "hoodoos" or other
superstitions, but the cofncidenc of
calamitieS and misfortuneS in con-
nection with this war is at least re-
markable.-N. Y. World.

Judge Bishop of Des Moines, in .ru

Judge Bishop of,Des Moines, in rul-
ing on case holds that neither the
state nor local board of health can
compel healthful person to be vac.
einated If he has not been exposed to
smallpox. The statute expressly gives
such boards power to establish uaran-
time against those infected or known
to be exposed. But as no mention of
vaccination Is included, in the statute,
1t is held that the board of health,
either state or local, Is powerless to
make rule to compel it. That, it is
held, would be legislative in its char
acter and the legislature cannot dele
gate that authority to any secondary
body.-Decorah Journal.

NEW YACHT, FOR N
Racing Cutter to be Built for Eng
lands Sovereign.

London, Aug. Skiing Edward is to
nave a new yatch, the best that money
can buy and the canny brain Of Watson
devise for royalty. The king intended
building a yacht a couple Of years ago
and plans were under way when the
fatal sickness of Queen Victoria caused
canceling of the order.
The kings new yatch is to be a racing
cutter, and probably will be called Bri-
%tannia, though the designs contemplated
a larger craft than the old yacht of that
name. 1t will be built on the Clyde and
is to be completed before the racing sea-
son off9O3.
Sir Thomas Lipton's new challengerfor
the American cup and the kings new
yacht will have some hard races next
year preparatory to the International
races. The king has been always inter-
ested in the Americas cup contests, and
has doubtless felt keenly the inability of
British designers and sailors to cope
with the skill of the Americans. Per-
haps he himself would like to bring back
the cup, which has been in America con-
tinuously since 1851. 1t was with the
idea Of giving Shamrock l good pace
that he purchased the Britannia for the
formers trials.
Fife is going ahead with great zeal in
his plans for the new challenger for Sir
Thomas Upton. If the kings new
yacht proves better than the one Sir
Thomas is to have the question is, how
far will the king go actively making the
effort to lift the cup.
