claimed Col. Greene, with a smile, as

need OF increasing the States revenue

such an additional sum as will, in tho

cicnt to put the State on Il cash basis.
The commission suggests as one source

the direct enactment OF the general
assembly or otherwise. And also upon

engaged IN Ike business and GXcrcis-
lns similar nights and privileges. is IL
CONDITION upon which SAID corporations
mas do business in this State.
:. an annual license of one half of
one mlll upon the capital stock of all

Grating under ami by virtue OF the

also IKE license upon all other for
cIgn and non resident corporations

cept those corporations hereinbct0re

| resident corporations referred to in
| this paragraph. the said license shall
be based upon the value Of tho proper

! ness.
| The committee further recommend
that said license be fixed and assessed
under such regulations as may be pre-
scribed by law and that tho same be
paid INTO the State treasury for the

The Legislatures Of Louisiana and
Mississippi have instructed their
Senators to vote for the Panama
treaty, and the Senators from
those States will cheerfully obey in
structions. Senator Clarke, of Ar
kansas, will vote for the treaty, and
will probably speak in advocacy of it.
The two Georgia Senators are in favor
of the treaty, as are the Florida Sena-
tors. So is Senator La,imery of South
Carolina. 1t is confidently expect
ed that eleven and probably fifteen
Southern Senators will vote for the
treaty. It's ratification is assured.
The vote will not be taken until after
a lengthy debate, but when it is taken
it will be found that the treaty has
been ratified by safe majority. And
the great majority of Democrats will
heartily indorse the action Of those
Democrats who vote for it. The at.
tempt to put the Democratic vote in
opposition to the canal treaty must re-
, suit in failure, however much few
Dempcratic Senators and the Repub.
licah party may desirs it. The. peo-
Die want the canal. This fact is so
plain there is no need or room for ar
gument. Thoss who vote against the
trsaty will not represent the sentiment

The Senate has devoted itself almost
exclusively to discussing bills sent

For everyone who sees good in his

Every Day Essays. by Marion Foster
Washburne holds a message 1t is not
an obnoxiously preachy message either,
put message which comes apparently
from the authors own experiences
a message that has the charm of an
every day life that is wholesome and
braeing., These essays touch the init
mate little things in life that all are ac-
quainted with SO we'll and give them new
color and meaning. Perhaps this is just
because they enable the reader to- see
these every day things clearly thru an
others eyes. However that may be, the
essays are good for both man and woman,
and besides that, they are entertaining.
For. example, what a picture of home life
is Every Mornings Comedy The com
edy is one in which the children play
the leading parts, and their elders look
on and wonder how they can eliminate
some. of the comic which borders on the
serious. Here is a philosophical remark,
LOO, on the part of the mother which is
one OF the fruits Of the comedy:
Men are always throwing out remarks about
the way they would simplify the ira lining of
children, If they had it to do, but they don't
seem eager to make opportunities for the display
OF thelr wisdom, nor do they rise very cOnvinc-
1ngly TO- such opportunities unavoidably pre-
sent themselves.
Again there is a whole picture in the
two words which the author uses in de-
scrlbing a feature of the comedy that is
sometimes interjected-a constrained
breakfast
There are essays on Mother and
Child,' AN irresponsible Ramble,"
Home "The Day When Everything Is
Wrong,'' "The Spirit OF Christmas,'' and
others. In this from the essay on
Home is expressed a feeling that
every lover Of home has known:
When we get home. 1t is something to hope
for-to make resolves for. When we get home
we shall be all we ought to be, and with full
hands shall add blessings to that much loved
place, contentlng ourselves longer with mere
recept1v1ty. In the fuss and fume of the world
IN the insensate jostle of it, it is much that we
nave this to cheer us-this faith that sometime
and somewhere the home we never knew shall
open to us III response to the persistent knock
ing of our hearts
Ihese essays are illustrated. The artist
is Ruth Mary .Hallock and the work is of
course, we'll done, SO we'll done that if the
original Of Dainty and fresh for the
moment in her second clean dress were
offered for sale at not too high a price
We should be tempted to buy.
