TRUST LAWS PAY NEW JERSEY.

Golfers for January % calls
attention to the inaugural address
of Gov. Stokes of New Jersey on
January IL, in which he showed
that New .Ic balance
of $2,940, 1888 in the treasury at
the end of the last fiscal year.
She collected from corporations
1881, 543.69, or nearly rs per
cent of the entire revenues of the
state. She did not raise single
cent by direct taxation; yet she
was able not only to meet all the
usual expenses of state govern
ment. but to develop road sys-
tenn embracing one-third of all the
macadamized state roads of the
union. A single company organ
lied some years ago paid the state
treasurer S221,000 for filing its
articles of incorporation and has
been paying $4,000 a year-over
$1,000 a week-ever since. Gov
ernor Stokes calls warning atten-
ton to the fact that other states
are bidding for this business, and
that in ten months of last year
one of them secured incorpora-
tons representing a capital of
$2S5, 553, 700 against only $3l3,-
$4,000 for New Jersey. He says
that "for years the policy of New
Jersey in this respect has met
with the approval of the people
and has received the Endorsement
of both political parties, and he
recommends the appointment of a
commission to perfect the states
corporation laws.

ATHENA, JANUARY s, 1905

A London cablegram reports that ap-
pearances indicate that the Marl-
boroughs "are poorly off financially"
this year. 1t is not meant by that that
the duke has come down to smoking two
cent cigars or that the duchess must
edo her own work." but that the couple
have been going at too swift financial
gait and retrenchment is needed. After
all, wealth is very largely relative
matter. The man who earns $1,000 a
year and lives we'll within his income is
generally better off than the prohigate
who squanders 100000 year when his
income is but $4,000. The best part of
wealth is the easy feeling it imparts,
and many modest fellow gets more Of
that easy feeling out OF a $1,000 income
than titled spendthrifts can extract from
a million.

According to reliable European au-
thorities, the colonizing nations in
Africa may soon face the unspeakable
horrors OF native revolt from one end
Of the big continent to the other. This
land of mysteries and superstitions, of
innumerable tribes, each with its own
peculiar tribal government and it's de-
votion to the traditions of the inscrut-
able past, has been subjugated, but not
conquered. So long as they regard the
Europeans as usurpers and interlopers
there will be the distinct menace Of a
gigantic race conflict, in which the
millions of inimical tribes will forget
their differences to combine against the
common Caucasian foe.
