Old Bill Jones-a Hoosier man
Was built on the Hoosier plan
Blood, flesh and brains
To give him pains
His stomach ached sore from his birth,
His lungs would wheeze all they were
His heart was slow,
And then would go
Like mad.
BIN Jones saw a doctor
one who worked on modern plan
And pinched and m
His nose.
And carved on Jones without a pause.
Your stomach's outl"
At last his shout
Arose.
For two weeks, Jones was stomachlssS,
And then ne told Of great distress.
Was just like lead.
Who got his knives and saws-and then
Bits heart came next,
Although 1t vexed
His purse.
And after that gilIs lung. felt bad
Jones chest was bare
OF all but air
Unbreathed.
The doctor next went searching for
More things in Bills interior.
All natures aids
Left, ere his blades
Were sheathed.
He took Bits ~brain-and thoughts, J
guess
And also made him hverless-
Removed his spleen
Tn whole machin-
E-ry.
And now Bill Jones-A Hoosier man
Is built on an immortal plan.
Through science deft
There's nothing left
To die.

1t was expected that during his recent
southern trip President Roosevelt would
pass through Stallsville, 8. c., n the
town got ready to give the best reception
in its power. The school children were to
sing for him and the whole place was to be
en- fete. But a bad spot in the road forced
a change Of route and Stallsville was much
disappointed. IN learning OF all this the
president sent an autograph letter to the
teacher of the school expressing regret al
his inability to keep to the program. He
also sent to the school a large photograph
Of himself.

CRITICISM OF SECRETARY ROOT.

The secretary OF war has been un-
sparingly criticised in connection with
the charges of cruelty in the Philip
pines. He has beer held to be in large
Measure responsible for whatever
wrongs and abuses have occurred there
and also to nave e~ndeavored to conceal
them from public knowledge. 1t is nj
legged that he knew Of the wrongs and
abuses committed by the army long be-
fore he was called upon to supply in
formation TO the senate committee in
vestigating Philippine conditions and
that he took no steps. until forced to do
so by the charges being made public, to
put a stop to the wrongs. 1t is de-
elared that murder IN the Philippines
has been held a light ofense by the
Var department and that tacitly at
least Secretary Root has approved of
torturing the natives. That this is un
just TO the secretary Of wal we believe
all fair-minded men viii agree.
In his speech in the senate Monday
Senator Lodge said that in the long
list OF distinguished men who had oc-
cupied the Office OF secretary Of war
there never had been an ADLER. more
public-spirted or more patriotic man
than Secretary Root "The secretary

C1RCUMVENTINo TIE LAW.

The persistence of insurance agents
and book agents is proverbial, but they
do not hold a candle to railroad attor-
neys and railroad tax agents in their
efforts to prevail on assessors and
equalizing boards to violate their oaths
and ignore the plain letter OF the law In
the assessment Of the property Of the
corporations that employ them. A fair
example is furnished by the efforts
made on behalf Of the Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company to have Its prop"
erty assessed for taxation by the state
board on a mileage basis, although the
board has no authority to do 30. The
law relating to railroad assessments
reads:
The president, secretary, superintendent
or other principal accounting oficer within
this state Of every railroad or telegraph
company, whether incorporated by any law
Of this state or not, Then any portion OF the
property OF such railroad or telegraph COM
pany is situated In more than one county,
shall list and return to the auditor OF public
accounts for assessment and taxation, etc.
The provision that the railroad In
order to be assessable by the state board
must be situated In more than one
county is clear and unmistakable. All
the property of the Bridge and Terminal
company in Nebraska is situated in the
county Of Douglas, and is therefore sub
ject to assessment and taxation by the
local assessors. the same al the property
of street railways. and under the
statutes all bridge companies are ex-
pressly made subject to the same rules
Of assessment that govern the assess
ment Of street railways. That means
that the bridge company is required to
pay taxes not only on Its tangible prop
erty but also ON its franchises, and ex-
plains why such desperate efforts
were made last year and again this year
to have It's property listed with the state
boards instead Of the local boards. The
mere fact that 1t succeeded In imposing
on the state board last year and evad'
ing a large part of it's local taxes by
this means affords no justification fol
a repetition this year in the face Of the
law and the late supreme court decision

New York Times.
So far the year 1902 has broken the record
OF the past decade for immigrants landing
at this port. January and February showed
a large increase on the figures for the
same months last year. This March showed
$4,000 more han March, 1901, and during
the first two weeks Of April there entered
10000 souls. as against 2S, 1000 In the same
fortnight a year ago. For the rest Of April
the proportions are as large, II not larger,
and May bids fair to Guido April. None too
soon have the new quarters of the immi-
grant palace on Ellis island been made
ready. The food OF immigration, which sub
sided . little after the lean years Of the
sos, is rising to unprecedented heights
during the fat years which bear a rotund
o auspiciously In the place of their penulti-
mate numeral.
Rules that immigrants must have money
In their pouch, that they must be healthy
and free from suspicion Of crime, have no
deterrent effect. The Spanish war, the ad-
vance Of American manufactures into
Europe, the cutlery OF European papers
against the American bugbear, and the evil
dence Of their own senses, which show then
how North America has become the land
above all others which feeds Europe, have
Impressed the dullest and least imaginative.
The old bogy OF illiteracy among the i'm
igrants has lost much Of its former force,
since other nations are paying attention to
education, although they have not attained
that low percentage OF illiterates we hnd
in Scandinavia. Switzerland and northern
Germany. Strange to say. It lie this i'm
proyement in popular education which has
done much to cause the rush to the land
Of dollars, since q reading people has the
press and cheap mails to aid them in de-
Gliding where their chances Of a livelihood
are best.
