The Tax on Art.
From the Chicago Post.

TN AtA@oSO Il O5Ls
A calamity has been averted. THE
Countess of Bristol" a G-ainsborough
painting arrived a mont ago, on these
hospitable shores. 1t nearly came In
unnoticed. but a lucky custom officer
suspected it's cost. 1t vas seized and it's
owners hailed 10 court. For their offense
OF trying to bring a thing of artistic
value into the United States without
paying dearly for the privilege they are
deprived of their painting, which should
have benefited the revenue of this
needy country by several thousand in
stead of several hundred dollars.
Had the Gainsborough come in with
out paying a heavy duty, what a blow
to the United Statesi Deprived not
only OF a sum mounting in the four
figures, the country would also have
a TO face a dire possibility. En-
c%ouraged by immunity, art collectors Of
great taste, II not great income, might
have freely purchased abroad such
beautiful works Of art as now are pro-
hibitively dutiable. They might have
added to the esthetic heritage of their
homes and cities. They might even
have don something 10 dull the keen
instinct which directs that the mill
stone OF duty be tied on the neck of
art.
The divinity of our Legislators Is
never more impressive than when ap-
piled TO art, nor the fetch of tariff more
Imposing than when IL causes the
seizures or exclusion of a Gainsborough.

There Are Thousands of 0pportuni-
ties In This Land of Opportunity.
To the Editor-Dear Sir:
The following experience of an ILL
nois man who went to Western Canada
six years ago is but one of the thou
sands of letters that could be repro
duced showing how prosperity follows
the settler on the fertile lands of West
ern Canada. This letter was written to
the Chicago agent of the Government
of the Dominion of Canada and is dated
at Evarts, Alberta, April s, 1907:
1t is six years the 9th of this month
since l and family landed in Red Deer,
family sick and only $500 in my peck
ct. Bought a $12 lot, built a 12x14
shack and went to work as a carpen-
ter. Next May sold for $500 chad add
ed 16X1S building to shack. Purchased
two lots at $40 each and built a 2Sx2S
two-story building and sold for $3.50.
Filed on a quarter section 33 miles
northwest Of Red Deer and have spent
three years en- it, and am we'll pleased.
Quarter all fenced and cross fenced,
wire and rail, 30 miles of fence. House
20X3l feet OF stone foundation. Last
year was my first attempt to raise
grain, ia acres Of fall wheat, yield
grand, but was frosted Aug. ,, was cut
Aug. rs and made good pig feed. Had
~ acres fall rye that l think could
not be beat. A farmer from Dakota
cut it for me; he said he never saw
such heavy grain anywhere. Straw
was { feet high. l had 4 acres of
Proved barley on fall breaking that
did not do SC well, yet it ripened and
gave me all the feed | need for stock
and seed for this spring. l did not
have grain threshed, 50 can't give yield,
but the wheat would have gone at least
% bu. to the acre. Have Il log stable
31X35 feet, broad roof and two smaller
buildings for pigs and chickens.
l have lived in Harvey, ILL.,, and know
something about it. l have been hun
cry there, and though able and willing
TO work could get one to do. One Sat
urday evening found me without any
supper or a cent to get it with. A
friend, surmising my situation, gave
me a dollar, which was thankfully ac-
cepted and later paid back. Wife and
l are thankful we came here. We were
living neal Mt. Vernon, Ill, as perhaps
you remember visiting me there and
getting me headed for the Canadian
Northwest and a happy day it has
proved for me. | have not grown rich,
but l am prospecting. l would not take
$4,000 for my quarter now The past
winter has been a hard one, but l
worked outside the coolest day (52 be-
low all day and did not suffer. We
are getting a school started now that Is
badly needed.
Our p. o., Everts, is about Is miles ;
there is another Office 6 miles, but it Is
not convenient TO us. Wife and I
would not exchange our home here for
anything Illinois has to offer. Yours
truly,

"Small sores appeared on each Of my
lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that I could
scarcely walk. The sores began to heal,
but small scaly eruptions appeared. Tho
itching was SO severe that I would
scratch the sores until the blood be-
gan to flow. After l suffered thus
about ten years l made a renewed eff
fort to effect a cure. The eruptions by,
this time had appeared on every part
of my body except my face and hands.
The best doctor in my native county
and many remedies gave no relief. All
this was fruitless Finally my hair be.
gan to fall out and / was rapidly be-

having used almost everything else, I.
thought l would try Cutlcura Ointment

Miners Object to Unsafe Timbering /
and to Being Suspected of Theft

GOLDF1ELD, Dec. 25.-Goldfield
miners who are now on strike in
the desert city have undergone a
variety of vicissitudes since the be-
ginning of the labor troubles two
years ago.
One of the earliest hardships, en-
dured for some time by the major.
ity for the sake of minority, who
had been arrested for carrying
pocketsful of ore from the rich
mines, was the rule made by op-
orators establishing the change
room"
The object was to prevent the
mine workers from getting away
with any of the ore on their person
Operators established double
room at each mine with baths and
shower baths. Every worker was
compelled by this plan 10 exchange
his digging clothes for street
clothes, while closely watched.
The miners welcomed the change
for the bath privileges until dirty
water from the stump hole at the
bottom of the mine was substituted
by the operators for the clear
water, which is expensive in Gold,
field. The miners cut out the bath
and walked home with the dirt OF
the mine upon them.

UNION INJUNCTION
ON FINAL HEARING

Injunction proceedings instituted
before the Unlteu States court in
Cincinnati by the United Ty-
pothetae against the printing press
mems union. to restrain the press
men from striking for eight hours
in typothetae Offices, had another
hearing recently on application for
injunction.
Dispositions of former officials OF
the international Printing Press
mems Union of North America
were read. Former President Hig-
gins alleged there was an agree
ment between the union and ty-
pothetae which does not expire I'M
til 1909, and dispositions of other
former unions officials were on SIM
liar lines. The union does not
deny the existence Of the agree
ment, but contends Higgins and
others did not have authority to
enter into it.
The statements published to the
effect that a permanent injunction
had been granted against the press
men was unfounded as that case is
still pending. The union has struck
all shops that are not members OF
the typothetae which refused to
grant the eight hour day. An as
sessment of 10 per cent has been
levied for the past month.
