Regarding taxes the report says:
The total assessments of real and
personal taxes as of January list, 1904,
was 1924, ,541.00, which was de-
crease from the preceding year Of
$5,113,141.00.
I would suggest that the tax law be
amended and In this connection rec
ommend that taxes be paid in two in
stallments. All specific and one-half
of real, personal and income taxes be-
coming delinquent In May and the
balance delinquent in November.
That in addition to the 10 per cent.
delinquent penalty, interest be charg.
ed on all delinquents until the time
of payment and that better provision
be made for the enforcement Of tax
liens.
Also that the time Of assessing in
comes be changed from July list Of
each year to January LIST Of each
year.
The Treasurer suggests a direct In.
heritance tax as favorable form for
raising revenue. and also recommends
that the license law be SO changed
that all licenses expire on June 30 OF
each year, the same as the Federal
spirit tax.

warrant question, stating that as It 1:

ence to law and order. And to teach
full submission to you, Your Excel
lency, to the Mayor or whosoever
stands for and represents the law.
And in this my position is not unique.
l am merely trying to do in my weak
way what is the duty of every Catho-
tic bishop. We are all, all of the Amer
lean hierarchy, trying to do the best
we can for the laws and the general
good of the United States.
Il am no prophet but say the day
may be coming, and may not be far
distant, when the only barrier that
shall stand between anarchy and law
and order shall be the bulwark of the
Roman Catholic church. This always
will be strong barrier, since it will
always teach and even compel obedi-
cnce to law and order and frown upon
anarchy and lawlessness.
When that day comes-and may it
be long in coming-but we have all
read the signs of the times and can
hear the murmurings from afar-
when that day comes we may yet re-
member the brave Archbishop of
Paris, who stood on the battlements
and was shot while trying to still the
mob. So every bishop and priest will
be willing to take similar stand and
do his best to preserve the liberty and

Effective House Decoration,

In connection with the canons of
good taste which come to the home
decorator, only with careful study
and an instinct for harmony of things
and colors, the following "don'ts" arc
worth considering:
Pictures should never be bought
simply because they are pretty. If
they mean nothing to the buyer they
will mean nothing to the home
Among the best pictures to buy, those
that add to the dignity. rcpose, cul.
ture and refinement of the home are
copies of great masters, in brown
black and white, or delicate tints;
colored photographs of spots of in
tercSt i'll our own or foreign countries
and good prints Of the photographs
OF men and women of art music OF
letters, whose productions are belov
ed by members of the family.
Choose the frame and your pic
lures wisely, for the stranger beneath
your roof often judges your culture
and intellectually by these silent
picture friends you gather about
yourself.
Don't hang photographs of your
same height. Ii there happen to be
two or three similar in subject and
of the same size and framed almost
alike, they can be hung one over the
other with good effect.
A picture is often made to look
more artistic if a small round picture
is placed each side of it. Sometimes
a good effect is obtained by grouping
three small round framed pictures
triangularly just above the square
frame.
Don't hang photographs of pour
friends in the parlor or in the hall
On the mantel of the sitting room
one may set a photograph or two, but
the place for photographs is in the
sleeping room of the person who
most prizes them.

This is long quotation, but we
submit it is worthy of careful study.
The other evening, on one of the ele-
waited railways, several people, COM
! menting on the arrest of Messrs.
Casey, Gilhooley, Looney and Feeley,
charged with slugging and numbering
Carlstrom (who, it seems, really died
of pneumania), remarked that all
those names were Irish, whereupon
another passenger asserted that more
than GU per cent. of Chicago's muir
ders are committed by the Irish. Very
evidently this speaker had not con-
suited City Statistician Grosser, who,
by the way, has not Kettle name.
In the matter of felony the Irish ac-
tually rank lowest of any race repre-
sented. They are among the very
lowest in the crime of murder. OF
the 1910 charges of larceny, the Irish
are charged with only 33.
But the native American-certainly
his record is an astounding one 1t
! must prove surprise to our public
schooled civilization and furnish con-
sternation to the motley horde of ma
tivistic whoo-owls. The colored man
and brother unfortunately heads the
list! still it must amuse him to learn
that "white Americans contributed
CPS per cent. of the felonious
charges" And if one could gain ac-
cess to records no less criminal
those of race suicide-the white
American would still be found glor-
iously in the lead The foreigner, in
any case, does not appear a menace.
His criminal record certainly is not
such that we need fear immigration.
If, here and there, there are Caseys
and Gilhooleys, the fact appears
chiefly due to sensational newspapers
and social order calculated to un-
settle every one not saint or phil
osopher. On the whole, the Irish
have no need to feel ashamed of their
record.

"City Statistician Hugo S. Grosser
has prepared statistics showing the
relation of crime to the nativity of
Chicago's citizens as they appear in
the records of the police for the first
three months of 1905. The total num-
Der of charges in the three months
was 1881, of which 1886 were for
felonies, 1,5GS for misdemeanors and
1877 for violations Of city ordi-
nances. Of the 1886 felonious
charges, Mr.. Grosser says, 1888 were
brought against white Americans, 1913
against colored Americans and 725
against foreign-born citizens. The
greatest percentage of felonious
charges, as compared with the ratio
of population was brought against
colored Americans-11.5 per cent
while they form less than per cent.
of the entire population. White
Americans contributed 62.8 per cent.
of the felonious charges, while they
furnish Ga per cent. of the population.

Oldest Self Striking Clock.

In Wells Cathedral, England, is the
oldest self-striking clock with count
wheel in the world, having been con-
structed by Peter Lightfoot monas-
tic, about 1920. This timepiece con-
tains many devices which testify to
the ancient horologist's ingenuity.
Several celestial and terrestrial bod
les are incorporated in interesting
movement and relationship. They in
L.cate the hours of the day, the age
OF the moon and the position of the
planets and the tlues. When the clock
strikes the hour, horsemen, fully
armed, dash out of two gateways in
opposite directions and charge furi-
ously. They strike with their lances,
as they pass, as many times as cor
respond with the number of the hour.
A little distance away is seated upon
"A high perch a quaint figure, which
kicks the quarters on two bells placed
beneath his feet, and strikes the
hours on bell. The dial of the clock
is divided into twenty-four hours, and
indicates the phases of the moon and
Il map of the heavens.
