PRAIRIE II
THE PENITENT.

THE PENiTENT.
Though l walk through the Valley of
Shadow,
By the side of the River of Tears;
Though the light shall be dim on my
pathway,
My soul shall in gloom know no fears.
Though the day of my joy shall be
ended,
The night of my trial be near,
Through the gloom of my woe Thou
wilt lead me.
My soul. in the night, will not fear!
AS the mother who croons to her
babies,
To lull them with love songs to
sleep.
So the voice of my Father shall soothe
However the shadows be deep.
AS she soothes them to slumber at ev-
ening.
With just the soft touch of her hand,
So shalt Thou bring peace to my spirit,
And so shall my soul understand.
Though | walk in the Valley of Shadow
Though bleeding where bramble
and thorn
OF my way shall have pierced me and
SCARED me-,
The weight of my cross shall b.
borne.
Through the pain of my sin Thou wilt
lead me,
However the shadows be deep
In the night tide ! know Thou wilt
soothe me,
And I, like a child. fall asleep!

FRANCHISE TAX LAW
UPHELD BY NEW YORK COURT
 OF APPEALS.
Complete Reversal of the Decision of the Lower Tribunal-Fight Will Be Kept Up, Says
 MT. Page.

Albany, N. Y. April 2S.-A decision of much importance and one which had an immediate effect in Wall Street was handed down today by the Court of Ap- peals. This body sustained unanimously the special franchise tax law. reversing the decision of the appellate division of the Supreme Court.
 Today's decision sustained the provision for the assessment of the special fran chise by the State Board of Tax Comnis- sioners. There were seven cases, all in- volving the same question, the validity of assessments upon the special franchises of the respondent corporations made by the State Board of Tax Commissioners under an act of 1899 which amended the general tax law, SO as to include as taxa ble real property the rights of street rail- road, gas, pipe line, telegraph. telephone and similar public service companies in the public streets and places. Taxes assessed during the three years since the passage of the law amount to SIS, SS4 upon an assessed valuation in 1902 for instance of $26S,017,770.
 The court holds that the legislature in creating a new system of taxation. em- bracing a new kind of property never taxed before. had the right to entrust to State officers the power of making the assessment and that tangible property such as rails and poles which had been formerly taxed by local assessors is merely incidental to the special franchises and holds that there was no infringement upon local self-goverament. All the judges concurred in the opinion.

ROOSEVELT AT oscEoLA.
Paws Tribute to Colonel Hepburn and
 Other Congressmen.


 osceola. Iowa, April 2s.-President Roosevelt received an enthusiastic greet inx here this afternoon, and the snort spf ech he made was heartily received. During his address he paid the following cornlipment to Congressman Hepburn and the other members of the Iowa dele gation in Congress.
 It is a great pleasure to come here today and to be introduced by Colonel Hepburn, who has been travelling with me throughout his district. And in de- parting from 1t and from him. l wish to state my sense of obligation to him and to all the Iowa delegation for the aid they gave me last year--the invaluable aid to bring about certain bits of legis- iation, non-partisan in character, which I deemed of the utmost importance. whereby wise supervision and regula- ton of certain great corporations Of the type popularly known as trusts, notably of those engaged in doing an interstate commerce business. could be exercised; legislation which I deemed invaluable not only because of its courage, but also or its sanity and because it does not pre- tend to do anything that it does not do. A promise should be kept on the stump as much as off the stump.
 The worth of any promise lies in it's fulfllment by action and it was, thanks to Colonel Hepburn, thanks 70 the Con gress to the members of both the Senate and House from Iowa and their fellows, that am able to come before you feel Ing that all that had been said oy us was to the need of such regulation has been made good in fact. Improvements cpon the law have been made, better legislation has been put on the statute books and the legislation upon the stat Ete books has been enforced with honesty pnd with fearisssness.

WRIGHT'S CASE IS UP
HEARING BEFORE UNITED
 STATES SUPREME COURT.
Untermeyer Appears for the De- fenhant, Fox for. Great Britain and Hoyt for the Amer
 ican Government.

Washington, April 8. In the United States Supreme Court the hearing in the extradition case of Whitaker Wright was begun today, Samuel Untermeyer appear ing for Wright, Charles Fox representing the British Govern n ,nt. and Solicitor General Hoyt the United States. The case comes here on appeal from an order of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, dismissing writs of habeas corpus and certiaorari issued on Wrights peti- tion, and denying his application for re- lease on bail.
 The most striking feature of the pro- ceeding In the Supreme Court today was the presentation of an a.sdavit made by Mir. Fox to the effect that the appeal is from a decision in a case which had been instituted March 6, whereas the British Government had form sr1y sought to aban- don the proceedings then begun and had asked for the discharge of Wright from custody under those proceedings. He claimed, therefore, that the court prac- tically was sitting in moot case. The Commissioner who had heard the case had declined to dismiss on the ground that the case had passed from him but 1t was urged that the Supreme Court could ie- ultimately exercise that right. MT. Fox
 
 Wright was charged, viz: that of fraud as the director of a company, Is extra ditable under the provision of the extra dition treaty between the United States and Great Britain.
 MT. Untermeyer, speaking for Wright contended that the complaint does moi state sufficient facts to constitute any crime which Is extraditable within the meaning of any of the treaties between the United States and the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland and that there is no allegation or statement in the complaint which indicate that the offense charged in this complaint or war rant constitutes a crime under the laws of both countries.
 Solicitor General Hoyt had just begun his argument when the court adjourned for the day. He appeared especially for the purpose of presenting this govern ments views of the applicability of the treaty to cases similar to that of Wrights but did not appear, strictly speaking, against Wright.

ARMY'S HEAD
Says He Went to Philippines
 to Find Faults.
Thinks That Miles's Opposition to the Policy of the Administration Has Caused Him to fudge
 Things wrongly.

St. Paul, Minn.. April @.-George c. squires. a prominent attorney of this city and brother-in-law of Major Ed win F. Glenn. has written an open let ter, addressed to Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in which he replies to the strictures on Major Glenn in the Generals report on alleged atrocities in; the Philippines. The letter is in part as follows:
 Tt Is a remarkable spectacle that the commanding General of the army of the United States should attempt to be- smirch the good names and records of his own brother officers and hold them up to the world as unit for the positions which they hold.
 If, instead of listening to the unsup- ported statements of irresponsible na- tiyes, you had taken the trouble to read the sworn testimony m the last trial of Major GleEn, think even you would have been convinced that the charges of atrocities which you so recklessly lay upon our officers. are as nothing com py the Filipinos.
 In conclusion, let me suggest that not even your prejudice against the ad- ministration or the well-founded impress sion that you went to the Philippines to find fault with existing conditions. is a sufficient justification for the general of great army. which haE gone through untold hardships and privations, to am notnce to the world upon nearsay and unsworn. testimony that his brother offi. cers. graduates of the. finest of all mill tary schools. are unworthy of the uni. forms which they wear."

PRINCE or WALES SPEAKS.
Urges Importance of Splendid Ex-
 hibit in St, Louis.

AAUlt An 0Ls 1SVuAbs
 London, April 2s.-The British Royal Commissioners to the St. Louis Exposi- tion held their first meeting today at Marlborough House. The Prince Of Wales, who presided, made speech du- ring which he pointed out the objects. of the Commission had in view and express ed the hope that Great Britain would be adequately represented at the exhibition.
 After alluding to the warm personal in- terest which King Edward felt in the exposition and the short time available for completing the preparations for Great Britain's representation the Prince of Wales said:
 'The idea Is sometimes put forward that 1t Is not much use for British man. ufacturers to exhibit in the United States as the high customs tariff of that coun- try tends to initiate against the sale of British products. It should, however, be remembered that there Is a considerable market for high class goods in the Uni ted States and that the exposition will afford an opportunity for showing our manufactures to customers from South America, Canada and other countries. It may be observed that both France and Germany appear to fully realize the ad- vantages to be gained in making good display of their productions, and in these countries large sums have been provided by their respective governments to assist In meeting the expense of the exhibits. !"
