of far more support than it gets.
 When the delinquent tax list for Polk county is made up this year there probably will appear among the names of the delinquents man who possesses little patch of land, all that is left of what a few years ago was good farm. This man has become sorely afflicted by ill health, making him totally unable to do manual labor; he is the father of a large family of small children, and these and his wife, with the assist ance of kind neighbors, work the little farm, attempting to raise the crops that will keep food for them. As tax paying time approached an end, this wife. to raise the needed money, gathered together her little flock of chickens and sold them. Dire need of food forced her to use it to buy sustenance for herself, her children and her invalid husband. The taxes are unpaid, and accord ing to law penalties and costs must be added, and if this invalid and his wife cannot secure the increased sum in time, then the property must go for taxes then the poor house. And among the taxes assessed in this case. as in all others, is the poll tax which must be paid by all men alike rich, poor, young manhood, tottering old age, strong and weak.
 This is not pleas mt picture. It looks like pushing the poor and weak downward, taking from their very little such a heavy toll, levying upon them such a heavy burden, while that taken from the strong and rich is so insignificant. True, in the end, the survivors in the battle must care for the ones who have lost the fight. They must support the poor houses. They must bear the burdens caused by making non-producers from pro- ducers.
 But would it not be better by some change in the plan of taxation to remove the burdens from the weak and place them on the strong, and thereby assist the struggling to maintain themselves, their self respect, their manhood and woman hood; to continue to produce some thing for themselves from the worlds storehouse
 Would it not be better to remove the poll tax from the aged, the crip- pied, the invalids?
 Would it not be better to assess a tax on a mans income, relieving entirely he whose income is so low that to take from it would deprive his family of the necessities of life
 If man owned two horses, one big and strong, the other puny and small, he would be foolish to force the weaker to do as mucn work as the stronger, to work so hard as to soon make it helpless. where he could do no more work and must be fed or killed by starvation or other wise. He had better adjust his load so that each would do what he could and continue to be useful. And so lit should be with our government. It should distribute the burden of taxation according to the strength of the individuals composing it-re- lieving the very weak entirely, thus assisting this class to be as near as possible self-sustaining. while the strong carry the burdens of govern ment.
 And, after all, it would mean less paupers. less non-producers, less criminals to be cared for by the ones who bear the burdens.

OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD,
Had Its Origin in the Lauren
tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada, north Of
the st. Lawrence, and ending in the
regions about the source of the Mis-.
sissippi, is a range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These,
hills are really mountains that are al
most worn out, for they are the old
est land in America, and, according.
to Agassiz, the Oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face of the globe.
these mountains came up-a long is
land of primitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against it's shores. None
of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the.
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance Of the tops;
Of the Alleghenies which were next.
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south
ward from Wisconsin and westward
from the Blue Ridge. An early view
of the country would have showed a.
large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and a long thin tongue Of
this primitive rock sticking down from
Canada into Minnesota, and these two
growing states looking out oyer the
waters at the mere beginnings Of
mountain ranges east and west. They
were waiting for the rest of the Unit
ed States to appear.-The Atlantic.

CHASED WOMAN 4 YEARS
Sophia Beck, Charged With Getting
100000 in SwindIe, Found
at Atlantic City.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Sophia Beck
was arrested in Atlantic City after a
chase which lasted over four years
and covered four continents.
In March, 1905, Sophia Beck, or
Mrs. Graham, as she is now married,
left Philadelphia, it is alleged, with
q sum of money estimated at $1,000
300, which had been wrung from the
dupes of the Storey Cotton Co. swim
die, of which she and Francis G. Mar
ran, alias Judge Franklin Stone, were
the %geniuses, the police say.
Since she left this country Sophia
Beck has gone all we the civilized
world. A few months ago she returned
with her t~wo-year-old son to Amer
lean and began a tour of several
cities. Postoffice inspectors got on
her track and her arrest followed.

Mustn,t Work Like Roebottom.

F. w. Aver, the advertising agent, at,
the dinner in Philadelphia in honor of
the FIRMS fortieth anniversary, said
that to succeed in advertising re-
quired hard work.
THE successes in this business are
st%upendous," he said, 'but some folks,
think that working as Roebottom of
Camden worked, a man can build up a.
great advertising fortune.
"Roebottom was a roofer. He was en-
gagged on a Mickle street house. One.
day, as he was ~lunching, he was heard
to give a yell Of pain.
Whats the matter, Roebottom?' a
carpenter asked.
~ got a nail in my foot the roofer'
answered.
Well, why don't you pull it out?r
said the carpenter.
what! In my dinner hour?' yelled
Roebottom, reproachfully ."-PhiladeL

SLAIN BY MORO PIRATES
Manila Hears That Revenue Cutter
Sora Was Captured While Cruis-
Ing Among Islands.

Manila, P. Official dispatches
from southern ports say it Is rumored
that the evenue cutter Sora has been
captured by Moro pirates and the
crew murdered. The authorities have
not been able to get confirmation of
the rumor, although dispatches have
been sent to all adjacent points.
The Sora was used as a patrol boat
against the Moro pirates of the south
ern archipelago in the general cam
paign against smuggling inaugurated
by the inBular government a short
time ago. 1t was commanded by Capt.
e. A. McGorty and carried a crew of
IA, all Fflipinos.
The cruiser left Balabao, 20 miles

rine, collector of the port, who was
bound to Sandakan, in British North
Borneo, to purchase supplies. Moth
ing has been heard of the vessel since.

sHONTs BLAMEs DOUBLE
SAYS He Is THE VICTIM OF MIS-
TAKEN IDENTITY.
New York Man Asks 100000, for
Alienation of lowsn Honored
by Roosevelt.

New York City.-Attorneys rep
~resenting Frederick Hipsh of this city,
who has sued Theodore P. Shonts,
president of several million-dollar
railroad corporations and a financial
figure of national Importance, for
$780, 900 for the alleged alienation of
the affections Of Mrs. Hipsh, are inves-
tigating the statments of Mr.. Shonts
that he has been the victim of a
strange case of mistaken identity,
which has caused him to suffer for the
acts of a mysterious double.
Shonts denies every charge Of
Hipsh and declares his acquaintance
with Mrs. Hipsh was only casual and
conventional.
The suit against Shonts has created
a sensation in social and financial cir
Giles here. Shonts is president of the
1925, 000,0 Ryan-Belmont INTERIOR
ough Metropolitan Co.; president of
the Chicago & Alton, Of the Toledo,
st. Louis & Western railroads and a
director in many others.
Hipsh is bitter against Shonts. He
charges the railroad magnate with an
intrigue with Mrs. Hipsh lasting over
two years and destroying not only his
happiness, but that Of his wife. He
declares he does not want Shonts'
money, but wishes a verdict against
him to show the rich mans guilt.
Hipsh first learned, he says, Of his
wife's alleged duplicity, when he in
tercepted an anonymous telegram sent
her at Allenhurst, N. j., August 2 last,
while she was spending the summer
at the resort. The telegram asked
Mrs. Hipsh to meet the writer at an
appointed place. A dramatic scene fol-
lowed between Hipsh and his wife, in
which he denounced her and cast her
off.
Hipsh then began IN investigation
to learn the identity Of his wife's cor
respondent. He says evidence led
him to Shonts.

FRENCH A|RSH|P
EXPL0DES IN AIR
WAR CRAFT REPuBLlQUE, THE
ZEPPELIN III. OF FRANCE"
BLOWS UP.
OCCUPANTS INSTANTLY KILLED
Vessel Of the DiriaibIe Type, Two
Thirds as Large as Zeppelin ILL.,,
AMI Had Estimated Speed of
35 Miles an Hour.

Moulins, France.-The new French
airship Republique exploded here
while making a flight. The yes
sci rose under perfect control and was
m~aneuyering over the trial field at a
height of 100 meters when the explo-
sion occurred.
The craft was completely wrecked
and the four occupants dropped to
the earth. All were instantly killed.
The cause Of the explosion has not
been learned, but it is thought that
The petrol in the tank was in some
way ignited and the flames reached
the gas in the balloon.
The Republique was completed about
a year ago. The craft was of the
half-rigid fortress type, similar to the
Vile de Paris, which proved 50 sue
c%essful. It had a displacement of
5000 cubic meters, about two-thirds
that Of the Zeppelin III. 1t was 100
meters long and it's greatest diameter
was IL meters. 1t had one engine
capable of developing 100 horsepower,
and two propellers. 1t was expected
to develop a speed of So miles an
hour.

CHINKS BUILD AEROPLANE
Flung Joe Guey Sails Successfully In
Machine He and Country
man Built.

San Francisco, California.-With a
Chinese at the wheel, the first sue
cessful flight on the Pacinc coast of a
heayier-than-air, motor driven aero
plane was made near this city.
The inventor of the new craft Is
Fung Joe Guey, a young Chinese of
Oakland, who already had a local rep
utation as a mechanical genius. Flung
made his fight in the dim light Of the
early evening among the hills of Pied
mont. The big bi-plane sailed around
a hill for half a mile at a distance of
Is feet from the ground. Just as the
aviator was bringing his machine to a
stop a break in the propeller caused
it to fall to the ground. Fung was
thrown out, but escaped without in
jury.
The Chinese and his helpers are
now planning a larger model of the
bi-plane which made the successful
flight.
