The Republican offers the advice to
every man in this community who can
do so to square his accounts on the
first of the year. January / of every
year should always be made n day of
jubilee, as it we're. An extra effort
will accomplish the desired result. AS
usual The Republican stands ready to
settle with every person and it hopes
will be promptly rendered and that
those who owe us will be just as
prompt in paying. 1t is an aggravation

In speaking of taxes, the Times talks
a little about the rich man and his
postprandial cigar. Although it is
somewhat difficult to figure out just
what it means, we judge it is be-
moaning the fate of the rich because
increased wealth brings increased
taxes. The Times need not worry
about any man who has accumulated
enough wealth to cause him to make
an annual kick over his taxes. That
man can take care of himself. 1t is
the man who owns a small home, per-
haps mortgaged. who has cause to
complain, and his taxes have not been
increased in this city or state since
1894. On the other hand they have
been reduced. A fair comparison is
invited.

departure. The girls head rested up
On his shoulder. She remarked casu.

there forever. OF course, this was
merely figurative. for Hardwicke would
have a good time going to business
and up and down Broadway, with a
young woman's head affixed t. his
shoulder. Over and above that, just
as like as not. it would cause some
comment. But nevertheless, he as

to rest there, and nowhere else. From
the tenor Of these remarks and also
from the fact that these we're the

all h evening-as restless as he
was on the night that he proposed,
and that is saying a good deal. The
girl made up her mind that he had
something on his mind, so she re

Killed by Political Jobs
How often do we see a bright useful
man ruined for life through being cleo
ted or appointed to some political Of
flee. In order to discharge the public
duties which devolve upon him he is
forced to give up his regular business
for two years or longer as the cast
may be. He naturally tries to secure
a reelection or reappointment at the
expiration of his term and very often
fails. Then, instead of going back to
his former mode of living, often a very
difficult if not impossible thing to do,
he fritters away the rest of his life in
ofice-seeking; a sort of political hobo
who fast loses the respect of the public
and the esteem of his friends. There

AS MYSTICAL AS SOCIALISM.

back up its assertion that taxes
are steadily increasing. He calls

took for example two women. One Is

mother. If this woman finds recre.
alton and intellectual enjoyment by
becoming a member OF some woman's

right She is goodness. Another
woman finds no enjoyment at home
and frets at light household tasks
This woman, who cannot find enjoy
ment with her family. joins wo.
mans club, and she will go into II
with the force Of a steam engine and
the power Of a dynamo.

goodness, for this woman is playing
