a STATE BOARD or EXCISE.


When the Democrats were in power the Legislature enacted a a for a
State board to W. supervision over certain public utilities 1t was freely

bill introduced giving to the board full authority over the local tax assessors
throughout the State. The board had a Republican majority. The i'll was
defeated because it was shown that the power asked for could be danger
ouly used in partisan politics. The same objection an be made, IN with
even greater force, against any proposition or a State excise board, for 1.-THE

.JOHNNY'S ESSAY.

One time there was a beautiful girl.
She was beautiful because she lived in
New York city and had fifteen million
dollars to buy short-sleeved shirtwaists
and long-handled gloves. If she had
lived in Podunk her pictures in the
papers would have stopped all the
clocks in the town and ruined the cab
bage crop. When this beautiful mai
den was old enough to put on long
dresses and give up chewing gun her
proud and naughty mamma said to
her:
Daughter. we must taxi a trip
abroad"
"But what for, mamma? Here I am

"And his name, mammal"
"It is observation-disclosures
It is a dream of a name. There's no
Jones or Smith about that"
But we do not love each other"
"That's nothing to do with it. You
want to be a countess. and he wants
your fifteen millions. It's just like
buying potatoes or coal. No more pro-
tests now. Get ready and come with
me to Hungaria and the deal will be
closed in short order"
And they went to Hungaria and
found the count, and he looked up
things in Bradstreet's and said he was
willing. and the loving couple We're
married, and there was one more title

wants a "Great American.'

To the Editor Of the Evening Star: q
Sir-Without apologies for the
language used, it seems timely to ask:
Lives there a great American whose
morning and evening psalm is This
Is my own, my native land, with its
government of the people, for the peo-
pie, by the people, which Washington
planted and Lincoln watered and God
has increased by the power of His
spirit working in the hearts of all;
thank God, /, too, am an American?R
The pure minds and unselfish livNs
of Washington and Lincoln have ~
lifted humanity, yielding freedomN
hopes in place of apathetic despaE,
driving out darkness with light, en-
aiding owe to conquer greed.
What would they say or do could
they be restored to us now?
1t is beyond dispute that our coun-
try now comprises more citizens en-
livened by the principles which ac-
tuated Washington and Lincoln than
were ever before voluntarily united
under one government.
Who is the American grand and SIM
pie enough to interpret, formulate and
lead Americas ambitions in practising
the immortal principles used by Wash
ington and Lincoln, but which neither
labeled my policies?" Statesmen as
they were, statesmen using party as
a convenience for the common well
fare, they, too, were surrounded by
special interests, but were too astute
to be beguiled into paths made there
by, or to become bloated with vanity
by fulsome praise or the use of power.
They used the power of God, humbly,
without claim of authorship. never
showing Him how to drive His sun.
America now needs that kind of a
man for President.
America needs loving confidence and
h~elpfulness among her people.
America has a right to these virtues
in practise.
Let such a man be named that all
may know and choose him, greedy par
tisans to the contrary Notwithstanding.

tuberculosis In Pennsylvania.

The fact that fully 100000 persons
In Pennsylvania are suffering from
tuberculosis has led to important &C
ton on the part Of that state. The
last legislature appropriated 5000 900
for the establishment of free sanitar-
lums. One of these Is already located
In the Mont Alto forest reservation in
Franklin county. 1t is expected that
eventually 500 patients will be accom-.
modated there, and an equal number
In q second sanitarium to be estab-
lished by DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, health
commissioner, In the western part of
the state. 1t is further proposed to
establish $50 dispensaries throughout
the state In spots where tuberculosis
Is prevalent. This will mean houses
OF refuge for persons in the incipient
stages of the disease, where measures
will be taken to stamp out the malady
before 1t has rendered its victims un.
fit for work.

Work Of EIeetro-Masn

magnet is taking very prominent
place. This device dispenses with
hooks, 81 ngs and other lifting appa-
r BY throwing a switch control
Lin, i.e current the magnet Is ener-
gized and thereby attaches itself to
the bars. castings, scrap or pig iron
which 1t Is desired to lift. The magnet
poles are shaped according to the ma
ture of the material to be raised. For
heavy rails they are oblong and are
slung from the crane hook by short
chain. Castings weighing over two
tone are successfully handled by cleo
tro.magnets. Another use to which the
electromagnetic is put is in breaking
old castings so that they may be melt
ed and utilized. To accomplish this
the magnet is made to lift and drop
a steel ball Weighing from one to six
tons.
