ed States, is guest of her nephew
o. "A. Samers. of Kokomo, Ind, hav-
ing made the trip by rail and crriage
at the age of 100 years. She will be
101 years old November 1. Miss
Williams taught Mr.. Somers his let
tiers. She has raised several families
of children belonging to her relativ-
es and educated most Of them, al
though she never had the advantage
of schooling and is a self-taught
waman. Miss Williams ast0nished
all by her memory. 1t had been %
years since she had been in Kokomo
yet by name she asked about neigh
bors and chance acquaintance,
whom it was supposed she had for
gotten. She identified herself to
Mr.. Somer's son, now grown to be a
young man, by reminding him of a
game of tenpins she had played with
him when he was a child. Miss
Williams attributes her long life to
obedience to her parents and mot
meddling with other peoples bust
ness when it could do her no good"
She is great lover of children and
spends hours watching them play.
and in this manner keeps her youth
constantly renewed.
She is generally the first person
astir about the household. She
dresses herself without assistance
and retiring to the window reads a
hymn and chapter of the Bible.
Being joked with becoming childish
she disproved the ASSERTION by COM
hitting a hymn to memory. adding
another accomplishment to her re-
cord as centenarian.
Until 80 years of age she did all
her own homework, and did her
sewing until SO years old, when she
gave it up, reluctantly yielding to
the suggestion that all in this line
that could be expected of her had
been performed and it was her duty
to save her strength.

A BILLION.
What il Would Mean If Russia
Should Hand That Amount
Over to japan.


Think of handing over 81 ,000, 000,-
600 to the man who's thrashing you
so that he will stop.
1t is intimated that Japan will de-
mand that much indemnity from
Russia.
In Russian money it is about q
600, 000. 900 roubles. In japanese
money it is about 1000, 900, 900 yen.
Put yourself in Russia's place and
search yourself for the price of
peace. No doubt you will decide to
pay it on the installment plan. or, if
you are up to the devil-siay-care
finance of an ordinary American
municipality, you will consider bond
ing the debt and letting posterity
pay the principal.
But suppose you decided to tackle
the debt yourself. If your income
is 81 900 a year and the great ma
jority of incomes are much below
that-it would take you 1000, 900
years to pay it. to say nothing of the
interest, and you'd have to go with
out eating besides.
If Russia accepts the indemnity
now suggested she will be paying
Sl3.33a for each person speaking the
Russian tongue. The indemnity will
be equal to Russia's estimated stock
of gold and silver. 1t will be equiv
alent to the value of one-sixth Of all
the gold produced in the world
since 1892.
The sum that the Japs will get, if
they do. will be equal to 81 a head
for every white inhabitant of the
earth. II is little short of the to-
tai coinage of the United States
since they began to turn out money.
IL is three times the worlds annual
production of gold. II will amount
TO about s75 for every member of
the yellow race on earth. The pop
ulation of North America is estimat-
ed at at l00,000,000. If we had to
pay it we'd be assessed at $40 a
head. 1t amounts to about $50 for
every square mile on the earth's sur
face.
The receipts of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition were about $l0.-
000 1t would take. then. one hun
dred expositions of that kind to earn
such an indemnity.
Ii would take about two or three
times the value of all the coal mined
in the United States, more than two
wheat crops. or practically FIVE times
the dividends paid annually on all
American railroads; or. take your
choice of these: One-third of all the
pensions paid since 1861: nearly ten
times the surplus of all the railroads.
A billion is about half the amount of
the money in circulation in the Unit
ed States.
If Japan gets her billion she will
be able 10 buy about $40 battleships
like the Oregon.

MoCuRDY'S GREED.

Richard 4. McCurdy is at present he most conspicuous illustration of the too consuming greed that enters
 largely into latter-day American life and the prime cause of many of the ills that afflict the body polite. The trusts and combines have come of greed and so has most of the corrup- tion, official and corporate, that has in recent years stained the national rec ord. United States senators have been among it's victims and the in surance investigations conducted in New York have shown that it has en- tered largely into the conduct of those great fiduciary corporations that exist, it was supposed, for the mutual benefit of those whom they serve.
 Mir. McCurdy's father was a direc- tor in the Mutual Life. He is himself a graduate of Harvard university and began life as practicing lawyer in New York. He was appointed attor- ney for the Mutual Life company in 1860. and became it's vice-president five years later, and it's president in 1885. He is a man of good family, refined breeding, good education and superior business ability. He was in a position to direct his life according to the highest rules of personal recti- tudes and his training and associa- tion should all have fitted him for a proper conception of the highest moral duty. But he became a victim of greed. He Is now seventy years old, and his name that might have been among the most honored in the country is held upto scorn and his conduct to public censure.
 McCurdy, with all his high training and education, has been guided largely by the blunt maxim of the unschooled Highland outlaw: 'Tet him take who has the power, and let him keep who can" It was in his power as the head of great company to divert the money that should have gone as div idends to policy holders to fees and salaries for himself, his son and his os-nin-law, to extravagsnt furnishings

FOUR MILLS LEVY FOR INTEREST BEARING DEBT.

The Review still advises its readers 70 be in no hurry about paying the city taxes for the year 1905 so long as the four mills is asked for the pur pose of paying interest on the public debt
 Just pigeon hole that postal card notice from the City Marshal and lei us get some legal advice upon a ques ton, which to say the least, at first @lance, appears to be without author ity of law. From still further inves rigation the Review learns that the levy was made with the idea that sewer bonds would be voted by the people some time during the close of 1905 or the first part of 1906, and this fund was created to pay the interest on these bonds.
 h other words, the Council has talk en the liberty to tax the people in 1905 for something they will ask the people for in 1906 The general rule is that when a levy has been made for $ special purpose that the money re- covered into such a fund can not be used for any other purpose. The cold fact remains that Bisbee has no public debt to pay interest on, so what is the sense of Ievying tax for this purpose this year?
 The Review proposes to make a careful investigation of this question from a legal standpoint, and after such investigation. if the Review is con- vinced that the four mills tax has been leved without authority. the Re- view for one will not pay it's tax tc the city, so long as the four mills for the creation Of an interest-bearing fund is made a part of the tax rate. On the contrary, after careful legal investigation has been made, if the Council acted with authority of law in making the levy this year. for this purpose, this paper will cheerfully ray the amount It is not a case of depriving the city of needed revenue for its several departments. It is a clear case of taxing the people four mills on the dollar more than is re- oUired for other purposes, to create a fund of which we have no need at the present time. In other words, the Review leans toward the opinion that the City of Bisbee has no use for an interest paying fund on a public debt until the people first have authorized the creation of this public debt.
 That's an easy proposition for the laymai to digest.

 The decrease in the dividends tc the policy holders in his company and the increase in official salaries and commissions have been in inverse ra tio. The company grew steadily richer, but what the living policy holder got out of it grew steadily less The salaries paid officials were greater than those paid the officials of the Bank of England. the Bank of France and the Bank of Germany, the three greatest financial institutions in the world, combined.

THE MAIN STREET SUBWAY.

Mayor Taylor has announced that he intends to allow the ordinance ap- prOpriating something like S6OO to. ward the cleaning out of the subway to become effective without his sig Tature. The Review hopes that the Mayor will reconsider this decision and either sign the ordinance or veto it. The people of Bisbee selected J. $. Taylor as Mayor, believing that he would exercise his best judgment in questions of this kind, and they ex- pect him to do so in this instance. From the announcement that the May or has decided to allow the ordinance to become effective. without his sig nature, the impression is conveyed that the Chief Executive of the city does not approve of the proposition. If this is his position, he owes it to the people to veto the ordinance. His veto will meet with the approval of Athreefourths of the taxpayers of the &ty, and for the protection of their Snterests in such matters he was elected. The Mayor should take a stand for or against the ordinance. and not be content to sit on the fence. The Mayor does not vote on ordin- ances. only in case of a tie vote, and for this reason he is clothed with the veto power, and the people expect him to exercise it in this instance.
 With reference to the statement in the Review of Thursday morning that at the last time the subscription list was passed around on Main street for the purpose of cleaning the subway. the property owners failed to respond with their prorata, we have since been informed to the contrary. and the sub scription list shows that all, with one CT two exceptions. are still paying their proportion ot the expense.

CANNON AS GEAR OF THE HOUSE.

Ex-Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of the Fifty-elghth congress is not vel elected speaker of the Fifty ninth. Hi,
 friends take it for granted that he will be, and as no other Republican candidate for the office has yet ap I peared, they may be fight.
 But if the majority in the new house of representatives desires to exercise it's constitutional right of voting on bills without boss dictation ! it will reject Mir Cannon or put a curb on the usurpations of control over the house which have character ized every Republican speaker since Reed was put into the chair at the beginning of Harrison's administra- tion.
 The extent of Mir Cannon's usurpa- tion is pointedly illustrated in a Wash inston special to the Richmond Dis patch. which cites that President Roosevelt is heartily in favor of an adequate appropriation for the James town exposition and will strongly rec Ommend it in his forthcoming mess age, that two-thirds of the house will. vote favorabIy in a bill making such an appropriation if they are allowed to vote on it at all; but that Cannon has always been hostile to the expo sition and it is feared that his oppo- sition will defeat 1t.
 The fear is well founded. Under the Reed rules, which Henderson and Cannon have made worse, the speaker and his committee on rules are masters of the house, and more powerful than the President. The majority of the house is powerless so long as it consents to wear the speak CTS collar, and allow him to gag it by tightening the collar whenever itI pleaSes him to do so.
 It was never intended in the organ ization of our government that the speaker should be the whole house, and the voters of the several congress sional districts do not choose repEe- sentatives for the purpose of having their free action nullifed by his au- tocratic dictum
 We shall see sorry spectacle during the coming session if the house re- enacts the Reed Henderson-C Cannon | rules.

Fl Paso has recently inaugurated an effort to organize a fair and fiesta association to promote an annual fair in that city. A number of influential business men have expressed a will. ingness to give the matter their sup. port, and it looks like success is as- sured. It is proposed to have the first exhibition in the fall of next year. Fl Paso is noted for its enter prise, and judging by those now inter- esting themselves in the fair propo- sition. this paper has no hesitancy in predicting that Douglas people will have an opportunity to visit the Ei Paso fair next year.

BRYAN's INVESTIGATIONS.

If Mir. Bryan went abroad in good
 faith to study the workings of munic. ipal ownership. it is to be hoped that
 he will spend long time in Austra. lia. There paternalism has reached it's most perfect flower under a semi. republican form of government. Mir. Bryan can learn more of government ownership and operation of public utilities in the antipodes than in any
 other part of the world, and he will
 be given better chance there to ob- serve the vices that are inherent in
 paternalism.
 The people of Australia, Gnding
 themselves at liberty 70 run things
 as they pleased, plunged into an ex-
 cess of law-making If there was any
 evil they met it with a law. They
 municipalized and federalized to their hearts content. The railroads were placed under government man agement, and are now conducted by the premiers of the various states, who run them as personal and polit- ical perquisites. Railroad employees are under the civil service and are appointed for life. They are beyond the reach of public sentiment. and no amount of law making can prevent them from participating in politics. As a consequence, political machines have been built up compared whh which the boasted American machines are puny affairs. The telegraph and telephone systems are corroded with the same evils and all rates are higher than in the United States.
 So far has socialism gained control in Australia that private capital has been scared out. Unless the govern ment runs everything business will. come to a standstill. No man dares to compete with the government. A prosperous locomotive works was put out of business when the government began to make its own locomotives. Then the government employees in theI government works took possession. by various methods. until the cost of manufacture was pushed skyward the quality of the product was inferior and parliament was forced to step in with more laws designed to keep the employees within boundsl The labor element, instead of reaching an un- derstanding with capital for the ad- vantage of both, took the socialistic road, with the result that vast tracts of land are lying idle and unculti- vated, while the workingmen look to the government for jobs and old-age pensions.
 The campaign of the socialists has been carried to the extent of devising laws to limit the rental of houses. It is argued that on the scale of wages paid workingmen find it impossible to pay the rents demanded by land lords, many of whom are residents of England. Therefore laws are de- manded which will impose penalties upon absentee landlords who attempt to charge higher rentals than the workingmen can pay. Some of thei enthusiasts who believe that the "gov- ernment" can do everything are ad- vocating government ownership of the real estate.
 While the dream of paternalism is | being realized in Australia, the pop ulation is declining, money is going elsewhere for investment, and the country is gradually but surely re- to sheep pasture. It is a fruitful field for study on the part of Mir Bryan.
