DIRECT TAXATION.

The proposal to put tariff duty
ON coffee and tea in order to meet
the exigent need OF the government
TOR more money arouses an instant
remonstrance from consumers This
is readily explained. Such taxes
would be instantly added to house
hold expenses and recognized as a
continuing additional burden. Yet
the consumer will 60 on paying
without murmur more grievous tax
alton on his food, clothing, shelter,
medicine, tools and machinery be.
cause he does not pay these taxes
so directly. He does not recognize
the extended hand of the govern.
ment nor the plucking he gets when
ne buys himself a coat or builds
himself house. He also fails tc
remember that the coffee and tee
taxes go straight into the Treasury
very little of the money being dis,
Pated in the cost of collection
whilst the tax on his coat and hi,
house is largely diverted to tn,
pockets of favored parties anon,
his fellow-citizens who are author
lied to tax him for their own emol
ument.
The coffee tax is fair tax; bu
1t would be unpopular because it
burden would be recognized. Th
100 per cent. tax on wool and wool
ems is an abomination; but it is pai
without remonstrance because it
paid without knowledge; the sui

are called for soon enough there
will be sharp competition, with
better prices, as there is great
slackucss of work in the private
shipyards at present. Bids will be
called not only for the two battle
ships, but also for the FIVE torpedo

for the names of the two battle

which battlcships or armored

Mr.. Shure had an errand to do a
short distance from the station
shortly before seven o'clock and as
several cars which were being
shifted were passing the platform
he jumped on one of them to save
himself the trouble of walking. He
slipped from the step and was
rolled between the platform and
cars for two car lengths.
Badly crushed and almost un,
conscious from his suffering, he
was placed in box car and taken
to Sunbury. AT the Market stree,
crossing he was placed in an am
bulance and taken to the Mary M
Packer hospital, where he died ;

FREE COAL.

Should the provision of the
Payne Tariff bill pntting bitumi-
nous coal in the free list be finally
approved, and if thereafter Canada
should respond by the repeal of the
Dominion coal duty, there would
be great reciprocal advantage for
both countries. The Pennsylvania
and West Virginia mines would be
able to supply with coal large
area of Canadian territory fronting
on the Great Lakes and the ST.
Lawrence River. Canadian pro-
6ucers would obtain counterbalanc-
ing advantage by being able to sell
Nova Scotian coal in New England
I'd coal from British Columbia to
nerican consumers on the Pacific
list. Such Canadian Goals would
'' assured of 4 market because of
, cilities of cheap water transporta-
itJn.
There may be opposition to a re-
peal, both of Our own and of the
Canadian tariff duty, at the hands
OF producers who find narrow and
local advantage in a restriction of
free intertrading; but the benefits
Of repeal are so obvious and so
widely distributed that we cannot
doubt of final reciprocal action, 1t
will be some time. however. before
such mutual arrangement, if agreed
upon, can become operative.

No Coal Contracts for April Delivery

Coal for April delivery is now
being shut off by the coal-carrying
companies. This refusal is to con-
tract tor April coal at any price,
whether the customary April reduc-
tion of so cents ton is granted or
not.
There has been a noticeable in
crease in the demand on dealers for
immediate deliveries at the present
prices, many householders having
been convinced that it will not do
to take chances and put off buying
until the possible wage war has ac-
tually broken out.
The representative of a large coal
house i'll Philadelphia explained
that the demand for domestic coal
has been exceptionally light this
year, presumably because of the
ha:d times and the warm winter,
which fell together. These econo-
mics, he suggested must have so
exhausted the stock of the house
holders as to create rapidly in
creasing demand for coal for sever
al months to come.
If there is a strike it will be be-
gun and ended, in his opinion,
within few weeks, since the oper
ators are forcing the fighting. Their
declarations that their will be a
lockout April if there is not a
strike then, he said, will start trou
BILE at once, if it is to come, and
get it over.
One curious development of the
situation is that dealers are now
buying certain grades and sizes of
coal from one another, very much
as grain is traded in on exchange.
This traffic, which has, of course,
not yet reached any considerable
Importance, usually follows upon
an important disturbance in the
trade, such as the threat of big
strike.
Every effort, it is declared, will
be made, however, to prevent spec
ulation in the coal which is already
mined and stored above ground.
There is An enormous amount Of
coal in these storage piles, estimat-
ed as aggregating from Io,ooo,o 900
to IS, 1000, 900 tons. This however.
is really not very large quantity
in the whole bulk of traffic, as it
would furnish only about two or
three months supply to the trade
in norma! times.
1t is for this reason that the COM
panies have shut off orders for de-
livery in April, so that no dealer
shall get his hands on more coal
than he needs for the immediate
wants of his customers. Should
large quantities of the storage come
into the market prematurely the
effect would be speculation, which
would undoubtedly work serious
wrong to the consuming public.

GOLD GIFTS FOR

Given a Chain and LOCket
Guard by Prayer Meeting At
tendantS Of West Church

AZ the close OF the West Church
prayer meeting last night. the West
minister Bible Glass cvinced a sudden
interest I'm holding week day ses-
sion, and assembling In the classroom
invited their teacher, tho Rev. Alex
andor Allison, Jr., 10 attend. Horace
M. Allen, Of the class. then made n
speech. He said no first Joined the
class three years ago shortly before
Christmas, so shortly that his friends
10 this day believe he did IL on pur-
pose. IL worried him 80 that he ap-
preached his teacher on the subject and
was told that n he did not fail in at
tendance the next two Sundays. and
his department was good, he certainly
was entitled to n present. He has al
ways kept that box Of candy as a
souvenir. He had attended the class
ever since and felt with the rest OF
the class that II was fitting that they
should show their appreciation Of the
inspiration their teacher had been 10
them. He then presented Pastor Ali
son with a beautiful gold watch-chain
with locket-guard.
In his speech OF thanks. AIr. Alison
very gracefully compared the linked
chain 10 the Bible class. which was
linked together IN loyalty and love.
And as a chain was no stronger than
its weakest link. he was glad both the
chain and the class had no weak links.
He knew he could depend the help OF
the class in benehtting not only the
school and West Church. but the whole
community. This dependability could
he linked 10 the golden character Of the
chain. He did not know what little
bird told them how much he wanted a
chain, but with the twins at home,
father could not have all he wanted
Mr.. Allen caused amusement by sug-
gesting a picture of the class for the
locket--the class IS over the three hun
dred mark.
The class president was next per-
emptorily summoned before its pres
ence. Understanding he was COM
meacing a new business they thought
he would media new pocketboolS that
| did not leak TO hold all the money he
would get. Tho president, John r.
Hudson, thanked the class heartily.
and expressed appreciation OF the help
they had always given in the Sunday
/ school work.
To take West Church program back
wards, there had been a very interest
/ ing prayer meeting before this, with
/ special music by the choir. and a story
read by the Rev. Alison cautioning
people TO keep good-tempered amid all
their Christmas rush.
Before the prayer meeting, the
/ Macedonia Circle OF Kings Daughters
appeared with boxes and potato sacks
and baskets. Different families re-
ported by the Sunday school will be
taken a pleasant surprise Christmas
morning.
In the afternoon tho Junior Christian
Endeavor. who include some very tiny
people. varied their regular program
with Christmas songs and verses. At
the end they all received candy canes
from a pretty Christmas tree.

For over mountains far away
The wise men saw It's CLEAN.
And they followed where it lead them,
with their gifts 20 rich and rare,
Guided to that little baby
BY tho shining OF that Star.
And tho Shepherds came to worship,
And they sang that sweet old song
