A tax upon consumption, even
when laid with absolute impair
tlallty, bears heaviest upon the
poor, because our necessities are
much more uniform than our pos
sessions. People do not eat in
proportion to their income; they do
not wear clothing in proportion
to their income; they do not use
taxed goods in proportion to their
incomes. AS all taxes must come
out of ones income, no matter
through what system levied or
collected they are, in effect, in
come taxes, and taxes on con-
sumption are really graduated in
come taxes, the largest per cent.
being collected from those with
the smallest income and the
smallest per cent from those
with the largest income. 1t is
only fair, therefore, that in an at
tempt to relieve the people from
the iniquities Of a high tariff, the
poor, who are overburdened,
should be given first considera-
tion. B Brya ms Tariff Speech

Surroundings of Early Child
hood Mould Character,
Says Mrs. McRae.
CHILDREN NEED CARE.
PURDUE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR
DEALS WITH THE TREATMENT
THAT SHOULD BE ACCORDED,
IN VERY INTERESTING LECTURE

Inheritance is a stronger trait Of
children than any influence that may
be brought upon their lives. SO de-
clared Mrs. Mont McRae Of Purdue
university in an address before a large
crowd of women and girls at the high
school auditorium.
Mrs. McRae's theme dealt prin-
cipally with the result Of environment
on the early life of a child and decar-
ed this will be found eXerting the
greatest influence in future years. She
advised the exercise of care on the
part of children in dealing with child
rem. Some children require differen
kinds of attention and the punishment
inflicted upon child of one DISPOSE
effect, If applied to child of different
demeanor.
The speaker undertook to show how
greatly a child is in need of tender
care and parental love The heart OF
the child was asserted to be in need
of little joys and pleasures and it
breaks beneath heavy suffering or sOr-
row. She called attention to the life
of George Elliott, who wept a great
portion Of her time, when young girl.
The effect of sorrow upon the life of
child was said to be reflected
throughout it's life. The years child
is forced to spend in misery and Suf-
fering never can be obiterated from
memory by the joys of subsequent
years.

miral Dewey has lost his signal num-

the adoption of combinations of let
tiers instead of figures to indicate the

ALASKAN INDIANS
HAVE White PLAGUE
Shocking Disclosures Made
As to the Life and Con-
dition of People.

Seattle, March 21.-Shocl1ing condi-
tons among the Indians of Alaska are
reported. No country in the world
shows such a high percentage of
death from tuberculosis. Even worse
ton of the natives is their moral de-
graduation. The institution of marri-
age is apparently unknown to the ma
tives, or If known. is not practiced to
any extent. The Alaskan Indian has
no idea Of contagious diseases and
takes no precaution to prevent their
spread to his families or his neigh
bors. On account of the squalor, and
filth in which they live, it is a wonder
that any of them have survived.

CHILD PLACED IN
BONDAGE FOR BILL.
Before They Can Get the Child Back
They Must Pay for Its
Board,

Riverside. n. J., March 21,-An S.
months-old child was placed in bond
age by its parents as a pledge that
they would pay bill due for its board
in installments. The case was tried
before Squire Grogan.
Last August, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred VOL
rath placed their baby in the care of
Mrs. Regina Ehmann, agreeing to pay
its board. They dropped out OF sight
and failed to pay.
Mrs. Ehmann applied to the squire
for adoption papers. The parents were
found and informed that a charge OF
desertion would be preferred against
them.
They appeared and asked for poss-
ession of the child, but had not the
means TO pay its board bill.
