THE BIG INTERESTS. WAITING.

I Is reported that the big interests" declare
that before there is an active resumption of
business they must know what President-elect
Tafts policy will be. The Interests" want TO
know, according TO Washington report who is
TO be the new Attorney-General and who will be
Secretary of Labor and Commerce If it is not
one thing 1t Is another to disturb the big inter
ests, and consequently the little fellows suffer
all around
Financiers are declaring that money is plenti-
full We have had' one of the greatest years in
crops in the history of the country, thousands Of
men are asking work, merchants are hoping for
a resumption OF industry as it should be resumed,
and yet the big interests" arc complaining,
growing and chasing shadows
Taft's record during the campaign his whole
public record in fact, should be sufficient guaran-
tee that his administration will do nothing to halt
the progress Of the country or to destroy conf
dcnce- What on earth more do the big interests
want?

COLD, CRAWLED
INTO A CELLAR

Because it was more comfortable in a
cosy cellar than out in the open last
night Walter Jackson and Charles Walt
ers. both colored, crawled into the base
ment Of Churchman'S fats in Chippey
street and curling up close TO the heater
went 10 sleep.
Early this morning a colored occupant
of the house went TO the basement and
she saw the two men.
"Der's bur'lars in de house," she yelled.
Before Walter and Charles awoke from
their slumber the police had been sum-
moned Both faced Deputy Judge Joslyn
in City Court this morning on charges Of
trespass. They said that they had
crawled in the basement TO get out Of the
cold and didn't mean any harm. The
court fined them s. and costs each.

MoKinIex a. Taft Model.

New York Press.
Anyone who thinks Mr. Taft will be an
echo of Mr.. Roosevelt should read what
the President-elect had TO say, at the
dedication OF the memorial organ in the
Metropolitan Temple, about the character
OF Mckinley. We take few phrases from
his address;
Mckinley accomplished his purposes
through the acquiescence Of men to his
will
1 never knew Mckinley to be angry
but once.
President Mckinley was a great Judge
of men.
President Mckinley knew how to deal
with Congress. He knew the ways of
Congress. and they were all anxious to
do what he wished done. When they were
unable to do as he wished they were all
sorry It was so.
President Mckinley's whole life was
perfect harmony. and nothing suggests
his character so much as that OF his
harmonious relations with his Govern
ment, his family, his fellow men and his
country.
Contrasts against the character and
temperament of McIlinley's successor
may be easily drawn from these COM
ments, but the successor OF Roosevelt
was not consciously indulging in COM
parisons OF the kind. Nevertheless Mr.
Taft betrays the fact that he is a warm
admirer Of the qualities in Mckinley
which arc conspicuously absent in the
equipment Of Mr.. Roosevelt Unconscious.
" the President-elect thus reveals his
own makeup as nothing else he has said
or done gives a clue to II.
II there is anything here 10 point the
path that Taft will walk in the Presi-
dency II shows that the footsteps of Nc
kinley' and not the trail Of Roosevelt.
Will guide him TO his tasks.

AT an anti-tuberculosis meeting in Chicago,
fresh air. light, good food and rest were accepted
as the fundamental principles of the crusade
against the disease. Labor leaders urged that the
city was not doing all it should do to provide
these health essentials for those who were unable
to secure them for themselves. 1t point
ed out that there are 100000 dark rooms in Chi
cago in which people are forced to work 1t was
also reported that as a result OF the agitation in
New York for better sanitary conditions tuber-
culosis had decreased so per cent. among the la
boring classes. The problem of securing light in
rooms in crowded cities is one difficult to solve.

needless 10 say that the State will be we'll repre-

One question disturbing those interested in the
event is what fair daughter of Delaware will

COMMISSION which has bee
STATE TAXATION.

a COMMISSION which has been revising
4 the revenue laws of New Hampshire
recommends the abolishing Of the State tax on
land. Most States have such a direct tax, but
fortunately Delaware is not in that number Our
own State Revenue Commission has no idea of
suggesting State tax as a means of increasing
our revenue, although there were reports that
such tax might be imposed. These reports were
circulated by friends of the corporations who
probably hoped that If State tax on land were
imposed, the tax on corporations would be
lowered
Most of the revenue for State purposes in New
Hampshire is secured through levies on railroad
companies and savings banks The tax derived
from savings banks amounts to almost half mil
lion year, according TO a report from New
Hampshire. They must have a large number of
savings banks in the Granite State and the tax
upon them must be heavy tits better not to tax
savings banks. About $4,000 is derived annu-
ally from insurance companies.
When we examine methods of raising taxes for
State purposes in other States, we find that Della
ware is about as we'll off as most of them Our
State Revenue Commission is making progress
and doubtless will be able to prepare report
which will embody fair scheme OF taxation.

Mrs. Harris needn't feel worried

said Margaret Bach. of No. 42S Rohns-
ave-, whose chum, Laura Harris. OF
No. 81 Ellery.pl., is reported missing
since Sunday Laura is right here
in the city and is only staying away
from home because her mother scold-
ed her for staying out nights. She
will be home in few days. l am
thinking.
Mrs. Harris reported 10 the police
that her daughter, who Is Is years OF
age. left home Sunday afternoon and
that as she was not strong, feared the
girl was either in one OF the hospitals
or had met with some accident Mrs.
Harris went TO another daughters
home on Warren-ave. Saturday TO
spend the night. taking her two young
er children with her. Laura went on

ed TO join her mother Sunday morn

corner while | went TO the house to
see II Mrs. Harris had come home.
We planned that II she were home,
would ask for Laura as though
didn't know anything about her. and
If she wasn't home, would lock the
doors and we would go on 10 the hall.
Mrs. Harris wasn't there, so we went
away. We met some gentlemen
friends in the hall, and afterwards
Laura and | had little tin. so she
went away and that is the last | saw

II think the reason she left home
is because her mother quarreled with
her about her beaux. Laura told me
that If her mother didn't stop scolding
her she would run away and marry a
