AaaukE1 THE aaEAr MaITaR



A writer 10 Harpers Weekly brings
10 light an interesting anecdofe q
TennyEon which well illustrates the
singular habits d The great laureate
in bis intercourse with his friends.
The poet vas not only brasque and
rough. but ho was dofnlnoerinR and
exacting. and mort other men were
afraid Of him. But an Auencan
scboolmaster Who for many years
maintained q great intimacy with him
had no fear IN his heart ard sat and
smoked on an equality with the ove
sign singer b. Farringford hreaide.
One evening. SAYS the writer,
when the two were thus together.
Tennyson said that be wouid depart
from bis custom and narrate q per.
sonal experience; but be had suffered
a good deal from repeadonH Of his
tales By those to whom he had told
them. and he would be obliged to ask
his friend never 70 repeat what he
was about 20 hear. The American
smoked on FOR a few seconds While
Tennyson waited for the promise, and
then he said: Ny lord. IN my c0un-
try 8 gentleman would never make
that request Of another gentleman
H-h-ml' said the poet, and looked
out Of eyes that wondered II the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said. Then he told the story"

A Business Proposition.
(From Mixed stocks)

Have you paid any particular
attention to the progress the
temperance movement has been
mahing9
Whether or not you favor pro.
hibition you win find food for
thought and reflection in the
rapid gains made by tlis drys"
within q very short time.
The greatest strides in this
direction have been made in the
Southern States. They have
been practically driven to it by
conditions which apparently
would yield to no other remedy.
The negro. on whom the indus
tries Of the south are largely de
pendent for labor. was an easy
victim 70 the drinking habit.
Once addicted to the use OF hq-
nor he became of little value as.
a labOrer. There was no alter
native but TO make it exceeding
ly difficult, If not impossible, for
him to obtain the drink.
ALI Of the Southern states to-
day have large areas Of prohibit
ton territory. Georgia is en-
tirely dry and the new state, Ok
lahoma win be. The governors
of Florida, Mississippi and North
Carolina are avowed Prohibition
lists. South Carolina has closed
her saloons and established dis
pensaries under rigid regula-
tons. Kentucky has "a counties
that are entirely dry and only 4.
counties that are entirely wet.
Only 2 counties in Mississippi
permit the sale of liquor. Ten.
nessee is practically dry. Ala
bama has almost banished the
saloon. West Virginia will no
doubt soon stop both the sale and
manufacture of spirits.
While legislation has been less
radical in the Northern states,
much has been accomplished,
and it is significant that it is I'M
usual for the legislature of any
state to adjourn a regular ses-
sion without giving some con.
sideration to this subject.
Prohibition is on the increase
Business men are awakening to
the fact that money spent for
strong drink is worse than
wasted. II robs the worker Of
his physical, moral and mental
strength; decreases the produc.
ing power OF the nation; reduces
the demand for the necessities Of
life; creates a class Of criminals
and paupers.
Look at it as q business pro.
blem. II it strikes you that the
traffic is OF any benefit, support
it. II not, work against it.

ALL NOTES MOST PAY.
State Tax Commissioner Makes An.
other Important Decision.

Topeka, Dec. 9:-The supreme
court has decide an important
point an connection with the new
tax taw. 1t has decided that a
Kansas taxpayer cannot escape
taxation on notes and mortgages
because of the fact that they are
secured by property outside of
the state and because of the fact
that the notes and mortgages are
deposited in another state,
Under this decision all such notes
and mortgages will be taxed in
Kansas. In veiw of the new tax
law this decision is of great i'm
portance. The..new law requires
that all notes and mortgages be
taxed at their actual value and it
has been predicted that this fea-
ture would drive many such notes
and mortgages outside the state
Under the late decision nothing
will be gained by this
This decision was rendered in a
suit brought by the county CON-
missioner of johnson county
against G. B. Hewitt. Hewitt
loaned $4,000 to Kansas City
people and the. notes we're secured
by trust deed on. Kansas CITY
real estate. The notes were never
brought into Kansas. They we're
deposited in the First National
bank of Kansas City.
They we're assessed in johnson
county but Hewitt refused to pay
the taxes and county commission
ers took the case to the district
court This court in favor of
Hewitt holding that he was not
compelled to pay taxes on the
notes. The county commissioners
court then appealed to the supreme
court with the result that the de-
cision of the lower court was over
ruled: The opinion was written
~ ~ Justice Burch..a and It reads in
part. 1t is no longer debatable
that the QUESTION whether a resi-
dent owner of debts evidenced
by notes and mortgages has pro.
perty in this state is not to be
determined by the locality in
which the debt we're created, not
by the place where the security
lies nor by the residence of the
doctors. And it is impossible to
believe that the legislature intend.
ed to regard notes given by non
residents and secured BY mort
cages on property in another state
because the resident owner. re-
turning home after the conclusion
of the business transaction pro-
ducing them, left them. just be-
yond the state line -
