From the American Book Company
comes an elementary labor atory manual
entitled Mature Study With Common
Things" by M. II. Carter. We open 1t at
"The Beet" and come across this perple1ing
question: HAS the beet pinch-sound2"
II It has we never detected it; nor, we must
confess, do we know what pinch-sound
may be, unless 1t is that emitted by the beet
when pinched. The answer does not seem
quite humane. KNOCK tho beet on the
desk and listen to the sound. Now guess
from this and the pinch test whether the
beet will be soft and juicy or hard when
you cut it open.' But no doubt this u Sig

In Great Britain. Now let us glance at the
aggregate OF the incomes which people
with over Ele0 OF income admitted to the
Government that they were earning. In
1850 the total of such incomes was Gs9s,-
7e4 900; in 1902 it was Es8e ,893 900. As
regards those British subjects whose in
comes are under CLEO the evidence of pros

their savings. The post Office and savings
bank deposits have grown from E55 900 600
in 1871 to Ei97 600 900 in 1902. In letter to
the Times of Dec 8, 1908, Sir Robert Giffen
estimated the savings OF the classes that
pay no income tax at E284 900 900. 1t
should be remembered that savings banks
deposits are -infantile efforts in thrift"
and that in the life OF the individual the
savings bank is soon replaced by the ordi-
nary bank, and the bank deposit is trans
ferred to wider and more lucrative invest
ments. British banking statistics offer
another test of prosperity. The deposits Of
all the joint stock banks publishing ac-
counts aggregated s4OO 900 600 in 1888, and
sss4 900 900 twenty years later. The net
tonnage of British shipping increased from
s GOO, ,79s in 1870 to l0,054, 40 in 1902. Ex-
traordinary also, was tne increase between
1885 and 1901 in the imports OF such raw
materials OF British manufactures as india
rubber, timber and leather. Ifexports are
not included by Prof. Smart among the
tests of prosperity, it is because he rejects
the assumption that what nation exports
is it's surplus. He points out that country
may gradually find 1t more profitable to
invest its capital at home. and that its grow
ing wealth may find full employment in
industries which do not export. In oontra-

1t seems, in fine, to Prof. Smart that
wherever we look the prospects with which
the authors Of preferential tariff would
be confronted would be "all of conflicting
interests, compromise tariffs, incessant bar
eainings, incessant readjustments, in
cessant chickering's and heart burnings ,inces-
SAINT temptations to disunity and bad
feeling" II this indeed be the only sys-

tates. Is it, asks Prof. Smart, quite rea-
sonable to tax our own capital, even for the

Prof. Smart, OF course, does not deny
that the idea OF united empire" is very
grand one. Already the patches OF red
on the map-aggregating II 100000 square
miles, with population OF some 400, 900 900
are connected by coaling stations, dotted
all over the globe. that almost assure the
command Of the sea. Cannot these patches
be welded together in one indlssoluble
whole? Prof Smart, for his part, is not
surprised that the conception Of imperial
federation should have caught the national
ina agination, and he has no doubt that it
will be worked out, eventually, in one way
or another. To make preferential tariff,
however, the method and the bond, and to
say that this is "the only system by which
the empire can be held together" is not
only, in his opinion, wrong. but is to draw
an antithesis between free trade and i'm
perial federation which might compel
Englishmen to choose between the two,
whereas they are by no means restrict ed
to such an alternative.

Special to Times Republican
Ottumwa, May 10.-Dynamiters and
incendiaries have threatened Mayor
Grant Crowley OF Eddyville, for the re-
forms he has inaugurated since his ell
ection in April.
Sunday Mayor Crowley received
an anonymous letter stating that If
he did not cease the reforms he had
commenced, that they, the writer's of
the letter, would either blow UP his
house, with dynamite, or would set
fire to it,
The letter was written in lead pen
ell and on poor grade of paper, but
the writing was good and evidenced
that 1t had been written by an educat-
ed man. Mayor Crowley claims to
have a clew to the identity of the
writer and he is engaged in ferretiRg
out the man. Just what action will
be taken by him when he discovers the
writer's is not known.
Since his election Mayor Crowley has
ordered considerable paving done in the
city and has inaugurated several other
reforms in the city looking for the bet
terment of conditions.
