July s, 1909.
For the first time since the re-
construction period an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
is under way. The Senate today
passed the bill providing for an am
endment to make legal a tax on in
comes, and the bill will now 90 to
the House. 1t will also be passed
there, and will then have to be sub
mitted to the states and ratified by
the legislature of three fourths of
them, before it can become part of
the law of the land. This is the
first real move to make the
rich men of the land bear their share
Of the public burdens, which they
largely escape under present mea-
sures of taxation, and it is only un
der great pressure that the Senate
has made such concession to the
poor people of the country. There
will be a tremendous effort made by
the rich men to prevent the ratifica-
ton OF the amendment by several
states but there is pretty good hope
that it will finally be passed and real
relief to the poor tax payers will
then come.

those who are familiar with the

Col. Hall was a son OF Hon. Jno

When the war broke out he was

his Mason county home to remain

enter the service.
But he remained at home less
than a month. The war spirit was
so strong within him that he
scorned the advice of physicians
and friends and set off for the
front, reaching his regiment Just

The following beautiful senti.
ment is from the pen of Senator
Bob Taylor:
'T would rather ELL my purse
With money and keep It's gate ajar
to my happy girls while yet they
.linger under my roof than to clutch
It with a miser's hand until the
harp strings of youth are broken
and all its muscles forever dead. 1
would rather spend my last nickle
for a bag of striped marbles to
gladden. the hearts of my barefoot
boys than to deny them their
childish pleasures, and leave them
a bag of gold to quarrel oyerghen
I am dead. I adhor the pitiless
hawk that circles the air only to
swoop down and destroy the song
of the linnet or bury its talons in
the heart of the dove. I despise
the soulless man whose greed for
gold impels him TO strangle the
laughter and song in his own fam

Passing Of White Flour.

From the New York World.
An interesting revolution in popular
taste will result from the decision Of the
milling trust to discontinue the manufac-
ture of white flour.
Millers have made -four white because
the public wanted it so, consumers pre-
ferring white -four for the same esthetic
reasons that they prefer golden butter,
yellow cornmeal and preserved fruit tint
ed to reproduce the hues of nature. The
reports of our consuls on the bleaching
and coloring processes to which import
cd cherries are subjected contain curious
Information on the influence OF color
schemes on the STABILITY of viands.
Henceforth the trust, in obedience to
Secretary Wilson's ruling against bleach
ed -four, will produce only golden flour.
How the American housewife will take
the innovation remains to be seen. She
has remained deaf to the warnings Of the
food specialists who have inveighed
against white flour as lacking in nutri-
teeth. Will she now quietly acquiesce
in the federal regulation of the color of
the wheaton loaf?
On the subject of the alleged injurious
ness to health of bleached flour expert
testimony has been contradictory. But on
general principles the substitution OF
golden" -four for white should prove
be neficial for the reason that henceforth
| there will be less occasion for rejecting
| those portions of the wheat kernel which.
though they discolored the -four, contain
| ed the largest proportion of nutriment.
| Yet the incident of the partial restora-
| ton of the family loaf of our grand
fathers by act of Congress is not without
| Its interest.

Ornithological.
From the Columbus Journal.

Some English sparrows had the most
fun the other day. They do not often
cluster about a garbage can, but these did
thirty or forty of them. Eating was
scanty that day. The snow was deep and
drifting and covered everything.
A big grmy-looking flicker had come
out for a scrap to eat and had found a
luscious chunk of something on the top
of a garbage can, and was peck1ng at 1t
with apparent satisfaction when the Eng
lish sparrows gathered about to enjoy the
scene and participate in the entertain
ment when the chance offered They be-
cave very intimate with the flicker, tried
to snatch at the Wand, endeavored to
shove him aside. and one jumped on his
back just for fun. but only for an in
slant. The flicker didn't seem to enjoy
this familiarity, and would make thrust
at a sparrow now and then, but he didn {
follow up the attack. He ate with vigor.
and the sparrows seemed happy to look
on.
Such incidents are frequent on a white.
cold day We scattered some warm
soaked bread on a back walk in the sight
of a tree full of sparrows. They were
drawn up In their feathers trying to keep
warm and were very silent. When they
saw the collation. a discussion started up.
They evidently suspected our sincerity;
talked about poison and invisible hooks
one remarked about a suspicious.leoking
dog yonder Finally they selected one
sparrow to go down and report 1t didn't
want to go. but finally after much Gliding
and rallying 1t went down, tasted and
called back: Come on, chaps: it's all
right" Then the whole treeful few
down.
