AL Soap" Clubs May Be Taxed.

The bill now before the State
senate providing for the levying of
a tax upon all soap clubs or organi-
cations Of people doing business
with firms outside of the State if it
shall pass and be approved by the
governor will affect many people of
this town. If exact statistics were
made public the amount of busi-
ness done by associations of people
i'll Bloomsbury and vicinity with
firms from other States would be
surprising. There are numerous
clubs that are called soap" clubs,
which trade not only in soap, but
i'll many other branches of the
grocery trade. While the amount
of business transacted by any one
club is not large, if tax were to be
levied upon it equal to the regular
mercantile tax the payment of the
same would undoubtedly prove
burdensome and destroy the profits.
According to the State rating all
mercantile establishments must pay
an annual tax at the rate of 81 for
business not exceeding 81, 900; IS
for a business not exceeding IS, 900.
and so on in the denominations of
fives. These clubs would likely
all be rated under the minimum
class, which would mean a tax of
81 per year, but with the addition
al tax of s. for every mercantile
establishment doing business and
their members would be compelled
to come back to the local trade with
their business.

Roosevelt Seeing Enemies.

During these days, President
Roosevelt is seeing all enemy lurk-
ing behind every bush He claims
that there is conspiracy against
him; but all this may be III his i'm
agination. Be that as it may, his
erratic utterances of late and his
display of bad temper have been
the cause of his losing many of his
former friends, in his own party.
His manifest irritability leads many
to suppose that, Notwithstanding
his declaration TO the contrary, he
Is anxious to secure another nomi-
nation. But, in view of recent de-
velopments, should he consent to
be candidate again, he probably
would be badly defeated. His an
ger and excitement, because of al
legged discovery of a gigantic con-
spiracy to buy the presidency of
the United States, might be excus-
able i'll chief magistrate who had
been elected under conditions, diff
ferent from those which attended
his election. But for Mr.. Roose-
welt to stand aghast at the specta-
Gle of cabal of plutocrats, combin-
ing for the purpose of influencing.
the choice of president, is ridicu-
lous; it would be so even with due
regard for the seriousness which
naturally attaches to the baneful
use of money. President Roose-
welt has practically admitted that
he was the beneficiary of what is
acknowledged to have been the
largest campaign fund ever collect
ed by the national committee of
any political party, and to which
the very men, whom he now accus-
es of being engaged in an unholy
alliance to dictate the election of
his successor, were liberal contribu-
tors. Mr.. Roosevelt is evidently
suffering from an exaggerated at
tack of egotism.

How to Make Ashes Burn.

The remarkable secret for burn
ing ashes with coal discovered by
John Ellsmore, an Altoona cobbler,
and which has excited attention
almost the world over, is out. AL
most every householder in Altoona
is now using it with great saving
in coal bills. Several we'll known
chemists Immediately after it was
announced that Ellsmore had solv ed
the problem of obtaining heat from
ashes set to work to try to discover
the formula. They were success
full and here it is:
Common salt, one pound.
OXalic acid, two ounces.
Water, one gallon.
Mix and moisten mixture con-
tanning one part coal and three
parts ashes, and a better fuel than
pure coal is obtained.
The ashes of anthracite coal burn
as readily as do those of bitumi-
nous. This mixture will upon be-
ing placed upon burning fire fuse
into a cokelike mass and deposit
but little residue.
1t is claimed that the test has
been made in many places, and
that it works we'll. We have not
seen it demonstrated, nor have we
heard any one say how long the
ashes will burn. There is one pro-
blem that still confronts us. If
the ashes are all consumed, and
everybody stops burning coal,
where are the ashes to come from
to make the fire with, after while?

Crime and BlOOdshed Rule Unchecked
in Coal Region.

So alarming has become the
criminal situation in Northumber-
land county that citizens of Spring
field, a suburb of Shamokin, head
ed by the Hon. Monroe H. Kulp
presented petition to the court in
Supbury Monday morning asking
that Vim. Moore be appointed as
an additional county detective in
order that all persons guilty of
crime might be brought to justice.
In the past month more bastard
ly crimes have been committed
within a radius of two miles of
Shamokin than occur in the aver
age Pennsylvania county in whole
decade. Matters become still
worse when the fact is brought out
that of the last three murders there
is little hope that the assassins will
go to the gallows, while for two of
the murders not single arrest has
been made and not a single piece
of evidence unearthed which gives
the slightest clue to the criminal.
A feeling of security pervades
the lawless Italians and when they
have occasion to use the knife they
do not hesitate from fear of being
brought to answer for their crime.
