curiosity as to whether anyone will
attack the constitutionality of this
bill. If the imposition of tonnage
tax was an interference with and bur-
den upon interstate commerce, on the
theory that when the ore left the mine
it had started on it's journey to
Buffalo, this may apply to wheat, as
when it enters its first elevator it is on
its way to some destination outside
the state, and the tax therefore may be
in violation of the federal constitu-
ton.
There is also a possibility that it
may not hold water under the state
constitution, as the so-called wide
open amendment, adopted two years
ago, provides at taxes shall be uni
form on the same classes of property,
the only exceptions being gross earn
ings on railroads and special assess
ments for municipal improvements.
In view of the fact that wheat which
goes to market bears a burden which
wheat at home escapes, it would seem
that the tax was not exactly uniform.
The curious thing about this matter,
however, is that the tax on deals in
the chambers of commerce went into a
pocket and was forgotten, and the tax
on iron ore was vetoed, while the tax
on the wheat purchased from the
farmers wagons stands. It is also
quite noticeable that the Telegraph
wires were not melted by kilograms
from business interests all over the
state demanding that the governor
veto it on the ground that it was i'm
fair, unequal, unjust, sectional and
liable to stop the tilling.so the soil,
prevent the building or operation of
milling plants, and close down the
schools, so he signed it.

HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS
Tenement Houses at Manchester, NJ
H., Destroyed by Fire.

Manchester, N. H., April "A large
portion of the tenement house district
just south of the business center of
this city was wiped out by fire. It
destroyed about fifty wooden three
and four-story buildings. Six hundred
men, women and children, mostly
Greeks, were made homeless. The
loss is estimated at about s15O,00O.
The flames were driven through
two city squares by a fierce westerly
gale. Help had to be summoned from
Concord, Nashua, Rochester, Dover
and Portsmouth, N. H., and Lowell,
Mass. Five companies of the New
Hampshire national guard were called
out to help the police keep back the
crowds. The cause of the fire is un-
known.

6 It is asserted by those who criticise
the navy department that this remodel
ing is an admission that the armor
belt on the battleships was misplaced.
The innovation raises the armor belt
to a point where it will become more
effective, because taking off the super
structure will, it is calculated, raise
the ships one foot higher in the water
and consequently the armor belt will
be in the desired position. The ships
could not have been raised otherwise
without the danger of turning turtle
or becoming unseaworthy.
"The fighting masts are to be dis
pensed with. They not only have
proved useless, but cumbersome and
easily put out of commission. On the
other hand, it has been proved that
the wire basket type of mast may be
punctured many times without the
danger of collapse.
ut is fine food for the critics of the
navy department that of the twenty
five first class battleships in the navy
only four are in condition for service.
They point out the fact that the Amer
lean citizens in Asiatlc Turkey are
compelled to look for protection OF
their lives and interests to such Bri.
fish battleships as are in the Medi-
terranean waters.
"EVen the Massachusetts, Indiana,
and Texas are laid up for repairs
while the single battleshlp left on the
Pacific is out of commission at Puget
SOund.'

The question is being asked, and
with good reason too, why Gov. John
son, with the same pen with which he
vetoed the bill providing for ton
mage tax on iron ore, did not veto
'the bill providing for tax of quar-
Tter of a mill on every bushel of wheat
handled in elevators. One measure
seems as unjust and unreasonable as
the other. AS one paper puts it, the
bushel tax was aimed at the terminal
elevator and hits the farmer; the ton
mage tax was aimed at the steel trust
and would have hit the laborer, the
merchant and the consumer.

How She Missed Him,

A poor woman who kept a small
shop in northern village and who
was troubled with husband who
could scarcely be considered a credit
to the family one day found herself a
widow through the sudden demise of
her spouse. A lady who frequently
made small purchases at the shop
called to see her and offer her SYM
pathy, though we'll knowing that the
mans death must in a certain sense
come as a relief. as the wife had often
suffered from his violence. She was
not, however, quite prepared for the
stoical way in which the wife took her
bereavement -..
Said the lady, 81 am sure, Mrs. G.,
that you must miss your husband"
"Well, mum, it do seem queer to go
into the shop and find something in
the ill."'-London Express.

In a sermon delivered to several
hundred women from the arjstocratic
circles of St. Louis Archbishop Glen
non on Sunday severely scored that
type of "modern, selfish, indulgent,
idle, irresponsible, inconsistent and
well-fed material women" who shirk
responsibility by herding together in
a collective life in handsome hotels
and apartments.
"Such women are in many instances
unwilling to assume the responsible
ties of even domestic superinten-
dence," he said. "They prefer a
French novel to a cook stove, a game
of bridge to a piece of embroidery, or
eating of doped candy to the cultiva-
ton of a flower patch.
SIN crowded apartments and hotels
they crafty their tastes and use up
vacant hours in still more vacant
deeds. The position soon becomes a
settled condition, and we have the pa
thetic condition of a childless and
homeless people, who live without any
purpose and who pass without any
record"

Raps the Modern Revivalist.

s'To link the name of the all-com-
passionate Savior, the tender, human
friend of publicans and sinners, with
the thought of endless misery, and to
say, as did the revivalist who recently
left our city, MY creed IS simply
Jesus Christ and He'll, is to be guilty,
TO my mind, of libel on the infinite love
OF God. And at the trisk of being mis-
understood by some, ventured to de-
clare it SUCH"
This was the way in which st.
Paul Universalist minister went after
Gypsy Smith and his ilk in sermon
Sunday morning.
Zone had Dreamed" continued the
minister, "that such theology had been
erelegated to the background, but see
ing that it has been preached in St.
Paul and applauded by some, it is fit
ting that from this Universalist pulpit
there should be heard a distinct pro-
test. My words may have little effect,
but vindicate the character of Christ,
the all-pitiful, against the things said
concerning Christ, and do what Emer-
son has so finely said: TO cling to
God against the name of God.'
1'Infnite love and tenderness and
endless, hopeless misery are as far re-
moved as the poles. 1t is because I
believe in Jesus Christ that I disbe-
lieve, with the intense conviction of my
soul, in everlasting punishment.
"Thank God the nightmare is lift
ing and thoughtful men of all shades
of belief are casting it aside as simply
a horrid dream of man in his imma-
sturity."

JUST A MATTER OF INQUIRY
Why Should People Entertain or Bs Entertained When 1t GIves
 Them No Pleasure7

"In . periodical the other day." says the amateur philosopher of the Provi- dence Tribune, T ran across a picture of what had evidently been a musical entertainment or musicale-I took 1t to have been a musicale for choice.
 "The fiddlers had gone and so had the soloist or soloists and guests. There remained in the foreground the deserted room and a waste of empty chairs, along with the open grand piano.
 The hosts head was resting on his arms on a table; the hostess had re- moved her shoes and was on the verge Of collapse. In the background a but. Ter was looking on commiseratingly.
 Now, there's good deal of that sort of thing first and last the country over. It was true to life, but 1 never could understand it. That is. nobody has ever explained to me why people who don't enjoy entertaining or being entertained persist in making martyrs Of themselves; why anybody does something for pleasure that inyari- ably gives pain?
 person who puts himself out and wears himself out in the line of duty Is comprehensible. but why you should sacrifice yourself when you're pretending to be looking for fun is beyond me.
 The woman who said that her idea Of perfect life from the social point of view would be to be asked every. where and to go nowhere doubt. less expressed the sentiment of thou. sands. but why go anywhere if you feel that way?"

 That's easily said," his wife cried. "You just made slip of the tongue and are trying to cover it up! confess that it would be relief to have me out of the way"
 "Tm surprised at you said her hus- band. Surprised that you could at tribute such motives to me! I'd wan der around like lost soul during the middle of the weeks!"
 'I'm not so sure," said Mrs. Ken nedy. darkly. i've heard how men act when their wives are gone! They don't sit around and mourn! They go around and have fearfully good time.
 Young Kennedy looked as if great light suddenly had broken over him. He ceased mixing salad dressing. Il see now" he remarked with icy dig nifty, "why you've refused to consider going away! It hasn't been in the least because you'd be lonely without me or were afraid I'd be lonely with out you or because it is wife's duty to stay at home when her husband is working hard, as you said the other day-it's just because you're afraid to go away and leave me free and un- hampered! You're suspicious of me! You don't trust mel"
 "If that were so it wouldn't be any worse than your reason for w-wwant- ing me to go! Just because you are tired of me"
 And trying all the time to make me think you wouldn't go because you couldn't bear to be away from me"
 And I thought you were urging me out of the goodness of your heart in stead of realizing your plan to send me away"
 "Nonsense!"
 Nonsense yourself!"

 I'll not be ordered about" said young Mrs. Kennedy with tremulous dignity, getting to her feet q won't"
 With her chin in the air she started to pass him, stumbled on her skirt and he caught her, whereupon she burst into tears on his shoulder
 I'm brute,' he cried wildly.
 No, Fl am," she sobbed.

 "HoneSt?"
 "Honest!"
 That is why young Kennedy and lis wife will take a two weeks vacation together this year.

 The answer came thus, Tho hour frOught With the most int. poTtance to the future Of this nation is C. A. M. according to the opinion of Flavel s.

A short time ago our nation stop p"1 for an hour and hushed it's din as a great president was car Tied to the grave. I wish that once year at o'clock our nation woI d stop for five minutes and hr0ath a silent prayer for the futurs which you teachers in the schools are making"
 Liko the soldier who was com miserated in the olden time be- cause of the weight of his armor his answer came, "Yes it is heavy but h" stands staight under it so spok? President Luther.
 ''The load you teachers carry is f~avy but you should stand firm under it."
