AIMLESS DRIFT OF PRICES

NEW YORK, July 6,-The explanation,
was offered of the extreme dizziness OF
last Fridays market that many mem,
bers who wanted a holiday on tIluay
had ignored the session of the exchange
and had gone away on vacation trips.
This explanation was supplemented TO-
day by the further suggestion that tne
members have not yet returned from
their vacations. There is very little more

Temple e. Co. Throngs of people crowded
the sale annex (aboye number), and the

those who think that times are dull or
that business is slow. Rain could not
deter. nor could the heat prevent the fair
sex from wenturing into this vortex Of
little prices. AS the piles OF merchandise
decreased the crowd kept multiplying, the
stress being so great, that the doors had

Fall or the Beautiful.

This fall Of snow was sufficiently
heavy as to warrant in bringing out
the sleighs and the jingle of the bells
was heard in every direction during
the afternoon. Up to noon six inches
Of snow fell, although it is very light,
and when packed down will not last
long.
There will be good sleighIng for
Thanksgiving. Thursday morning at
an early hour the third snow storm
of the winter set in and before day
light there was several inches of snow
covering the ground. There has been
but little let up during the day. This
will bring about some exercise for in
dividuals who have long sidewalks to
clean Off.

Laws Need Amendment.

The Canton News gets close to the
and taxation laws need amendment,
and radical amendment must be evil
dent to everyone who gives the sub
ject serious thought. The business
men Of Canton have begun an inves-
tigatiOn and the evidence thus far
obtained indicates most emphatically
the need of some systematic and gen.
eral change in the method Of assess
ment. Property should all be assessed
at its actual cash value and then ev-
cry taxpayer would bear his just pro-
portion Of the burden or cost Of main
tatining our form Of government. 1t
looks as if the older counties were be-
ing overtaxed and in. some counties
the tax on goods and merchandise is
out Of all proportion TO the Tax on
other property. People who own town
property and farm property Of equal
value are taxed much, very much
heavier on their town property than
on their farm property. Farm struc,
lures are taxed about half as much as
town structures of equal value. Cor
porate property escapes a large share
Of what it ought to pay in the way
Of taxation. Outside Corporations
ought to be taxed for the privilege
Of doing business in our state. Il
all the corporations doing business ir
our state were compelled to pay 70,
the protection afforded by our laws
the situation would be greatly i'm
proved:

a girl not a thousand miles from

day night and asked a week to con-
slider it before giving her answer,
SAYS an exchange. She then organized
herself into an investigating commit
tee and commenced taking testimony
from the married women Of her ac-
quaintance. The first n she visited
used to be a belle and the most ad-
mired girl in the town before she was
married six years ago. The crOss-eX-
animation brought out the fact that
she bad three children, did all her
own work. including washing and
ironing, and hadn't been down town
for a month, that her husband hadn't
given her but 50 since she was mar
ried and that he borrowed and forgot
to pay back $40 which her brother
once gave her as a Christmas pres
ent. He bought him a new overcoat
with the money-while she wore the
asme plush coat that she 0 I when
he was counting her. Another woman
whom she visited quit teaching school
three years ago to marry the hand
soonest and best dressed man in
town. and she is o supporting
him. A third didn't dare say her soul
was her own when her husband was
around, though she used to write
some lovely essays when she was in
school on the Emancipation of Wo-
man. and the fourth woman was Oh
| vorced. After visiting them and sum-
| ming up the evidence she went home
and wrote to the young man. She
