MISS BURT MISSING
POLICE ASKED FOR AID BY HER FAMILY.
Believed That Fsul Rlay Has Come Te 14-Year-Old Daughter Of MT.
 And Mrs W. M.
 Hmrf

Fearing that their daughter had been kidnapped or the victi moi other foul play, W. M. Burt and wife Fri- day applied to the Montgomery police department for aid in solving the mys- tery which surrounds the girls com plete disappearance Thursday night. The family are almost prostrated with grief. and at the home, 313 Moulton street. friends of the family are try ing to comfort the distressed mother.
 Mrs, Burt stated Saturday afternoon that her daughter. Nina, was an oper- ator at the long distance desk of the Southern Bell Telephone Company at the office on Washington avenue. and that on last Thursday night had left the oGgce as usual about S:30. o'clock for her home. Since leaving the tele- phone exchange nothing whatever has been heard of the girl.
 The girl Is said to have been, dressed in a black skirt buttoned at the side. and red jacket trimmed with black braid. She is described as being a and curly hair. Her age Is given as fourteen.
 Miss Burt had been an operator at the long distance board of the tele- phone, exchange for some time, and during her service with the company was well liked by her fellow work CTS for her god nature and cheerful disposition. When questioned by the family of the girl and by friends. her companions fail to throw any light upon the mystery of her complete dis appearance,
 The parents of Miss Burt are certain that their daughter has not left the city to visit companions, for in this case she would first have notified them Of such intention, and made prepara- tfous for the stay. They are equally certain that she. has met with some sort of accident or foul play of some kind, and both the police and the fam fly are working towards this end
 Any information tending to throw any light upon the whereabouts of Miss Burt will be joyfuIiy received by her parents on Moulton street.

should be conducted with seriousness, an enormous amount of money is spent on various amusements in order to att tract visitors, the mere exhibits of manufactures and produce being con sidered Insufficient"
 Not content with this plain speak ing. Baron Oura has caused an instruc- ton to be Issued to the local Eover- nors ordering them to endeavor to cor rect the evils of which he complains Equally striking are the statements of the Tolkio '.Mainichi Shfmbun," a jour- nal of high repute. whose editor, de- scribed as an eloquent barrister and earnest Christian, has represented Yokohama in the Lower House of the Diet ever since the opening of Partia- ment seventeen years ago. In re- cent article gloomy picture Is drawn of existing conditions. There is no blinking the fact that present-day morality among the Japanese Is on the decline. The laxity Of discipline be- tween the sekes. the rafnpancy of the speculative mania. the growth of the money-grabbinR fever, even at the cost of selling ones country, the prevail ence of suicide, and the like are signs which will be deeply deplored by any one who has the country's welfare at heart. Especially the epidemic of suicide from which the country is suf- ferfng must be considered most re- greftabie phenomenon. In early days. seif-destructlon was usually the result of feelings of shame or repentance Tor wrongs done, and as such had an ele- n,ent of Justification in upho1dfng dis cipIine, At present the majority of those who commit suicide are young men and women, who resort to the cowardiy act because of disappoint- ment occasioned by their incompetency or inability to attain desired ends. This reveals the lack of strong will power and the deterioration of morals among the rising generation. The vitiated atmosphere is invading every corner of society, not excepting mili- tary and educational circles"
 An Interesting explanation of these unhealthy conditions. the existence of which fit does not deny. is offered by the sNippon.T These evils are inci- dental to the transition stagesin which Japanese civilization at the moment finds itself. At the dawn of the pres ent enlightened era the people were ruSefy divorced from their ancient ideals and traditions. and have not yet fully adapted themselves to the new order of things. During the 300 years of the feudal- regime the distinction between IHe IouE CadsseS Ahto Ht~' society was divided was closely drawn and rigidly observed. People were content with the lot assigned to them and never dreamed of attaining riches or honors outside their own particulsE province. Now riches and honors have been placed at the disposal of every
 one, and great competition has been created. The plucky have gained power. and the lucky riches. The journal is, however, convinced that generally speaking. the country and people are making healthy progress and that whatever undesirable1 social phenomena may be now ni.. evidence will in course disappear. .s-

Postal Savings Bank and Its Advsn'

In addition TO this. the Republican
platform recommends the adoption Of
a postal savings bank system I'm which,
OF course, the Government would be-
come responsible TO the depositors Tor
the payment of principal and interest.
II is thought that the Government
guaranty will bring out OF boarding
places much money which may be
turned into wealth producing capital,
and that It will be n great incentive for
thrift in the many small places In the
country having now no savings bank
facilities which are reached by the Post
Office Department II will bring TO

cial centers, n place Of perfect safety

The Republican party prefers the

Another plank ~ the Democratic
platform refers 20 the failure Of the
Republican Convention 20 express an
opinion l1 favor % the publicity OF

we contrast our opponents promises

Hughes was elected In New York, ana
who made a complete statement With

that State as to all receipts of the
treasury of the National Committee

Income Tax.

The Democratic platform demands
two constitutional amendments, one
providing for an Income tax, and the
other for the election of Senators by
the people. In my Judgment an
amendment to the Constitution for an
income tax is not necessary, | believe
that an income tax, when the protec-
tive system of customs and the inter
ual revenue tax shall not furnish In.
come enough for governmental needs,
can and should be devised which I'M

Court will conform TO the Constitution.
