suit ANYTHING but satisfactory.

| It is coming to be understood that
the matter of the tax involved in the
mortgaged property and the mort
gage must be adjusted between the
parties concerned. Tax the mort
gage and one of two things results i:
either the man who has the money
to loan uses it in other ways or he
makes the borrower pay the tax
either by agreement or in a higher
interest. There is a good deal of
sentiment involved in this question
of the taxation of mortgages-more
sentiment than sense. The question
is often asked: Why should the
farmer and the householder pay a
tax on more property than he owns?
ON what is mortgagede He does
Mt have to. If he don't wantto pay
on the mortgaged property he need
Mt give the mortgage. Why does
he give it? He would not give it
unless it was to his advantage to do
so. For, instance: A man has
little money which he invests in
land-say $1,000. He borrows ST.
900 more to put into the land. He
buys this land as an investment. He
can make the land earn for him
more than he could earn other ways
enough more to warrant him in
paying the interest on the loan and
the taxes on the land. Otherwise it
would be unwise for him to make
such trade. A man buys thresh-
ing machine and gives his notes in
payment, interest to be paid on the
notes. He must also pay taxes on
this property. If he had the money
to pay for the property he wouldn't
need to give his notes. He makes
the investment purely as business
proposition. He can make the ma
chine earn for him an increment of
advantage above the interest on the
notes and the tax on the property.
That's business. When the law in
terferes with business-as regulated
between individuals lit manifests its
futility. The Tax Commission,
which has studied into the question
as experts, advises that no law be
passed taxing credits. When the
lawmakers learn what the Tax
Commissioners have they will desist
from this folly of attempting to get
blood from turnip.

The figures which have been pre-
sented showing the fortunes to be
made from ginseng growing on lit
tie tracts of ground, and the enticing
prospects held out by ginseng COM

of a circular by the Department of
Agriculture stating the facts regard

There is story going the rounds
of the papers to the effect that in the
recent sea battle the Russians threw
their wounded comrades into the
sea to stifle their groans, as these
exhibitions of suffering had de-
moralizing effect on the survivors.
1t is said that on the battleship Orel
900 men were wounded at the be-
ginning of the action and their
shrieks produced SO harmful an effect
that they were thrown overheard.
That story is of the sea, "fishy."

Since the war began Russia has
lost IS battleships and nine cruisers,
a fleet three times the size of the
fleet Japan had. The Japanese, in
the meantime, have lost one battle
ship and four cruisers, all sunk by
submerged mines. The loss of
smaller vessels is not recorded very
definitely. The tonnage of the Rus
sian ships lost amounts to 277,5oo,
and that of the Japanese's vessels
lost, to about 10000 tons.

The echo of the bogles!

| Long hours before Memorial Day
had dawned on the western world
solitary bugler clad in khaki stood
by the side of few earth mounds
on the far-away island of Guam
Lifting his bugle to his lips, he
sounded the militant cadences of the
"taps"-the call of slumber-pathet-
ic lullaby of those who sleep the
sleep that knows no waking.
An, the singing cadences of the bugles.
Fifteen hundred miles to the west
ward rolls its refrain, and the silvery
trumpets sound the same song OF
eternal rest. Now comes the mel
low fowlof the minor strains from
the fevered swamps and the dark
bayou, and the wailing of the bugles
steals from the wilds oftropic jungles
and from the fower-bespangled
rivers where bronzed squads of SOL
diers fire their volleys. Rising, the
trumpet Calls measured modulations
resound from isle to isle of the great
archipelago.
The benediction of the bugles.
China catches the crescendo, and
from Pekin to the sea resounds the
stirring, soothing tones over the
narrow graves of the patriotic SOL

and Berlin and Paris and London
wherever Americans in colonies are
found-take up the slumber song
and show "old glory" lest the re-

An, the invocation Of the bueles.
From the hills that look down in
silence on Santiago harbor; along
the heights of San Juan; from SOL

of the castles of Moro; from tropical
forests where graves are scarce; from
groups of mounds where recon-

swells the plaintive music of the

Oh, the chores of the bug1es.
Observation-Disclosures! Lo, where
the woods and rock fortresses of

the trumpets which speak from city

ever-swelling cry, the bugle's notes
are echoed from soldiers grave to

An, the dirge of the bug1es.
The waves of the Pacific catch the

The BENSON of the bugles.
From Guam to Samoa how they
sing this day of heroism and of
glory! Above the sounds of the
marching of the hosts above the roll
of muffled drums; above the voices
raised in prayer and patriotic speech ;
above the fair maidens and sweet
flowers; above the cracking rifles
bold challenge of the bivouac of the

that is dead and breathing bless

the business succeed it will result in

ment has no seeds or roots for dis
tribution. The market for the root
exists entirely among the Chinese.
1t is further stated that in marketing
the dried roots of late, a discrimina-
ton against the cultivated article has
developed, founded, it is claimed, on
the failure of the Chinese to accept
it, the wild root being preferred.

various considerations make it wise

OUR NAVY is IN A BAD WAY.
Few Officers Are Fit For Engineer
ing Duty In Service.

There are so few officers in the
Navy who are fit for engiHeeTsing duty
that if tile country should be suddenly
plunged into war the Navy would be
in a most serious condition. This is
according TO the annual report OF
steam engineering OF the Navy Depart
meDt
Rear Admiral W. Rae, chief Of the
bureau, SAYS that so few officers Of the
line are taking mp engineering ser
iously that the situation is becoming
alarming. He suggests as a plan for
the solution Of the problem that all the
Younger officers of the line have engI-
neering duty first in subordinate ca
pac it's, and their record must show
their ability before being placed in
charge of the engines Of any vessel.
The board which examines for promo
tion must be strict and engineering
must rank before the board with sea
manship. guunery and navigation.
The plan further provides that ia
the line there shall be a number OF
engineering specialists whose duty al
sea and ashore shall tie engineering,
but they shall not perform sea duty
after reaching the rank Of commander.
Admiral Rae's plan is to give these
specialists a course in higher marine
engineering for at least year IN
some reputable school of engineering.
The result Of the plan. would give q
body of engineering specialists TO the
navy Of about two rear -admirals, seven
captains, eleven commanders and
sitxy-two lieutenant commanders and
lieutenants, making total Of eighty
two specialists.
The lieutenant commanders and
lieutenants, 62 altogether, would be
available for sea duty, possibly 30 al
time. This would give a sufficient
number Of experts for the needs Ct
the Navy. In his discussion OF the
personnel OF the engineering force Of
the Navy and the needs of increasing
the force, Amiral Rae says that the
accident on the Bennington, 10 which
about 50 mon lost their lives, forcibly
emphasized the need Of serious and
immediate attention. In another por-
tion Of the report Admiral Rae says
that the bureau does not deem the re-
establishment of the old Corps OF En-
ofueers advisable.

OFFICERS ON A COON HUNT.
FINE SPORT FOR THE VISIT
ING BRITISHERS.
Who Like This Amusement Better
Than a Ball Or Hop And
Enjoyed 1t Too.
GIVEN AN OYSTER ROAST AT
ROUND BAY.

a jolly crowd of British and Arsari-
can officers enjoyed coon hunt last
night up at Round Bay The advance
guard with the hounds left Annapolis
at rs, but the officers set out later.
They were conveyed in steam launch
es and the pinnaces and boats Of the
British ships from the Naval Academy
and landed at Hopkins creek. near
Round Bay. The party's guide was
John knadler, or as he isIbetter known,
John Weaver, who is the champion
coon hunter of Anne Arundel Wea-
YER took along two sets Of dogs, his
own which are famous, and set be-
longing to Stehle and HerOld. whose
dogs Weaver says are fire lot of coon
dogs.
The hunting party consisted of
about l50 men. 90 of whom were off
GERS of the British squadron and the
rest from the American ships. At first
the Bsitishers took the coon hunt in
great spirit, but after the first coon
was caught they soon grew weary and
stfaggled down to the beach to enjoy
the oyster roast Twenty-Five bushels
of oysters had been provided and six
colofed men had been taken along to
open them. Large CRATES were put
up on the shore and big fires built I'M
der them TO roast the oysters. The
British officers and their American
friends squatted down around the fires
and were served with oysters taken
from out of the fire by the shovelfuls.
Although rough tables had been pro-
vided, few sat at them, but enjoyed
the feast informally.
When the first coon was caught
rousing cheer was given for John
Weaver, who led the sport with his
hounds. The British officers seemed
to lack interest after the first coon
was bagged and left for town. Only
eight of the party. including Mayor
Douw, remained until three more
coons aud an 'possum were caught
The British officers thought the coon
hunt the best sport they ever partioi.
pated in. They declared they would
rather go on coon hunt than attend
ball or hop. II was great sport and
they said they never saw better
They also enjoyed the oyster roast
and ate with great relish the delicious
bivalyes. The form of entertainment
which took the shape of econ hunt
will long be remembered by the for
eign guests.

THE JACK TARS WERE LIVELY.
Own The Town AT Night And
Cot Up High links.

Some fifteen hundred sailors were
turned loose in the town last night
Each and every one of them seemed
TO have an unquenohable thirst and
there must be 500 mouths with brown
tastes in them this morning
The saloons and restaurants did q
land office business. They were all

there will shortly be thirty-one more

not navigate on land as we'll as on sea
fell into the Capital Office door with
crash Others fell on porches Of
private houses and the sidewalk was
converted into a temporary reclining
place.
The station house accommodated
seventy-two sailors last night and
scores of others are still wondering
how they ever unwound themselves
froin Clutch Circle and State House
Circle. 1t was night of song and
hilarity. A the local playhouse the
past two nights the sailors enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content
No bunch Of college boys ever did as
many things TO & show as did the
jacEies. They didn't pull up chairs,
or row at the players, but they did
sing.
Putting out the lights had not the
slightest effect and one tenor soloist,
who had more thirst than voice when
he came ashore, announced that, as he
iiad left his music at home, he would
90 on with the song. He did. An
napelis takes it all in good part and
the jackies are forgiven, although
they own the town at night, paint it
