In Jail f,r Taxes.

Lew Hildebrant is in Jail for nom
payment Of taxes FOR 1908. He was
arrested on Monday by Tax collec-
tor Robbins, because he refused to
pay the taxes, though he was EN-.

are being drawn tighter than here.
tofore, theie was nothing for the
collector to do but enforce payment
by arrest. Lew ard his gang always
manage to get enough money to-
gether to buy booze, but taxes are
different. Hildebrant is an ex-
am pie of what will happen to some
more of his kind, if they do not
square up with collector Robbins.

The announcement that the Penn
sylvania fish commission proposes
to introduce yellow perch into the
streams of the State will be pleas
ing information to those who love
angling. The yellow perch is not
only very edible fish, but it is also
exceedingly gamy, putting up as
good fight as does the trout or
black bass. Furthermore, it will
thrive in any stream OF water that
is ordinarily free FROM pollution.

The Spirit of Success.

A woman will have several irous
in the FIRE at once, but she gets her
ironing done by the concentration
of her energy into the manipulation
Of one iron. Edison and Marconi
are men OF one idea, and each is
absorbed in the pursuit of it. Bell
had no time for aught else than his
telephone. Cecil Rhodes divorced
himself from every interest save the
building of an empire il South
Africa. Peary is consumed with
his purpose Of reaching the North
Pole. Diaz set himself the task of
Transforming Mexico into a great,
modern nation. Jefferson, in his
day. was on fire with the passion
for national liberty, and preferred
death TO failure. and Roosevelt is as
hot and fixed in his single purpose
today Of freeing government from
graft and patriotism from patron
age.
The principle is essential also to
business success. There must be
life single in its purpose, whatever
that purpose may be. Unstable
as water, thou shalt not excel"
said the old Hebrew father to his
improbable son, and all history de-
monstrates that he did not utter a
curse but a psychological fact.
There must be deliberate and in
telligent determination of purpose,
and an unwavering, immovable ad-
herence thereto.
That is the spirit, and the only
spirit, in which difficult problems
are solved and successful issues
wrested from unwilling conditions.

BOARD FAVORS A LOCK CANAL
Consulting Engineers Against Sea Lev
el for Canal

Washington, Oct. 2o.-The Panama
canal will be a lock and not sea
level canal if the recommendation of
Il maoiority of the board of consulting
engineers is adopted. After visiting
the isthmus, examining the geology
of the narrow strip studying the obsta-
cles of nature to be overcome, and
reading all the data available ma jor-
ity of the consulting engineers have
concluded that the only prac icable
canal is lock canal.
1t is stated by one of the engineers
that while no vote has been taken,
enough has developed during con-
versations with his colleagues to con-
vince him that a lock canal will re-
ceive the approval of the board.
1t develops that the consulting en-
eineers, like all others who have Wis.,
tied the isthmus, realized that there
is something radically wrong in the
present arrangement of administra-
tive affairs in the canal zone. A reor-
ganizaiton is certain. and Secretary
Taft. after he visits the isthmus, will
undertake it,

ing elected assessor, he followed the

find favor at their hands, he will dis
charge the duties of the Office to the
very best of his ability.
