to the cities for the records in
cases where boys and young men
have appeared before the courts
as offenders.
We have favored such a step
on the part of the state for sew

may be presented. 1t is better

where convicts are worked could
be made almost self-sustaining

ments proposed by the Senate.
The World does not doubt the
truth of Mr.. Cannon's statement.
Public Indifference to great ques
tons of taxation has become
chronic in a country that won its
independence through a revolu-
ton that originated in taxation.
Congress is considering a tariff
bill that will raise 3, 600, 600, 900 a
year in revenue, and during its
life time will probably take no
less than 3, 1000, 900, 900 in publ
revenue from the pockets of the
people. The indirect taxation
for the profit of protected indus.
tries will amount to more than
the public treasury receives. 1t
is safe to say that this bill means
not less than $40, 600, 600, 900 OF
taxation in one form or other,
and yet, as speaker Cannon says,
not one letter in fifty makes any
objection to it. Practically the
only organized protest en- the
part of consumers was made by
the club women who objected tc
the duties on gloves and stock
ings. The average American
seems content to let the newspa-
pers fight the battle for the pro
lection of his pocket. New York
World.
The people are not wholly in
different, but they are powerless
it seems, to get what they are
e ntitled to from congress fair
treatment. The speaker of the
house, the V; lays and means COM
mittee Of his appointing, and the
finance committee of the senate
headed by a plutocrat, control
legislation. Mr. Taft was elect
ed president on a platform that
promised the revision of the tar
if downward, and the republicans
their majority in congress
on the same platform. The west
and middle west were held in
line Tor. the republican party by
the revision plank of the platform
but when their Representatives
arrived in Washington they were
gagged by rules that gave to the
speaker of the house a%utocratic
power and the rest has been easy.
Although 1.-The indirect taxation

pie are powerless to put a stop
to the game of robbery that con-
gress authorizes for the benefit

turers.

The Senate Finance Commit
tee will report in favor Of Four
Dollars per ton duty on wood
pulp out of which print paper
il manufactured an advance of
Two Dollars duty agreed on by
the House. During the past year
the newspapers of the country
complained Of the high price OF
print paper and an effort was
made to have wood pulp placed
on the free list. The matter
was brought before Congress
aud a committee with Bepre-
sentative Mann as Chairman in
vestigated the prices of the pa
Der covering several years. This
committee evidently reported
that therehas been considerable
advance over former prices as
was testified to by the papers
from whom information was OBJ
tanned. Notwithstanding the po.
sition taken by the press of the
country. we now find that in
stead of placing wood pulp on
the free list, the dutyis to be in
creased. The press may make

after he has landed his job how

John Pleasant Scales.

joni Pleasant Scales was born
in Verona, Mississippi, Oct. 31st,
1886, and died in San Antonio,
Texas, at the home of his Uncle,
DR.. John s. Long. Jan. %, 1909.
He was the oldest child of Mr.
and Mrs. r. D. Scales. When a
mere child, he joined the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South,
and throughout his boyhood was
obedient. studious and faithful.
His habits were all good. He at
tended the high schools in tbs
towns of Meridian Mississippi,
and Celeste and Mineola, Tex
as, and was also a student for
sometime in the state University
from which he was called on ac-
count Of the poor health of his
father. He came to young man.
hood with a well trained mind,
with a firm grasp on moral prin
ciples, with unusual devotion to
and fidelity in the discharge of
his duties in the business world.
His ambitions were noble and
pure. Besides a good equipment
for the credible discharge Of his
business obligations, he was an
accomplished musician which en-
abled him to give much pleasure
to the social circles of which he
was a member. Since his faith
er's death a little more than
two years before his own his
mother and two sisters had look
ed to him for comfort and help,
but he became a victim of pull
monary tuberculosis, and while
every effort was put forth to stay
its progress nothing availed.
It is peculiarly sad that one so
strong, so we'll equipped for the
battle of life, SO much needed,
and whose young life was so
prophetic of a noble future
should be called hence, but we
are comforted in the thought
that God knows best, and that
out of our grief and disappoint-
ment God will bring good. We
say with the apostle Paul: For
we know that all things work to-
gether for good to them who love
God" In the presence of this
mystery and sorrow, it is ours
to trust the Father and to sur
render ourselves in resignation
to His Holy will. While the
heart will ask, Why and though
wrung with its grief. yet it
knows that God is good and sings
its song of triumph over death
and the grave. To the Christian
there must be a feeling Of relief
when a loved one gets home.
The dangers are past and sin can
no longer hurt nor destroy, The
gates of pearl are closed behind
him, and to the heavenly home
he shall welcome US as God shall
call us one by one.

Three shifts are now on this vein taking out nothing but ore. which from samples taken across the face of the drift averages s1O6 per ton in gold and | copper. A large quantity of this high grade ore is now piled up on the dump and the ore actually in sight will re- quire. many months of shipping. A contract has been made with a large freighting outfit for the haulage ! of the ore to the railroad. At present the shipping point is Rouse. 3ls miles | distant, and from here the ore is for warded to the smelter at Fl Paso Tex, the most convenient and favor able smelting point.
 The grading is now being done for a siding on the A. & c. railway 2OOO feet distant from the mouth of the Little Butte" shaft and when this is completed the ore will be hauled to this point, a distance of less than half a mile.
 During the coming quarter the work of sinking the shaft will be prosecuted vigorously, gaining depth as rapidly as possible. At the same time the north and south drifts at the 115foot level will be continued, and the work of talk ing out ore both by drifting and stop ing will be done so as to bring our regular monthly revenue from ore shipments to as high a point as pOssi- ble. Within a very short time three cars a week will be shipped.
 The siding at Little Butte" station now being installed will probably dur ing the coming quarter be extended to the mouth of the shaft, that ore may be dumped direct from the mine into the cars thus eliminating all haulage of the ore.
 Everything connected with the fi- nancial end of the company's affairs is in splendid condition. The rule is rigidly adhered to of paying all month ly expenses promptly on the 10th of the following month. and at the pres ent time there are no outstanding ob- legations due.
 Our sales of stock have enabled us to accomplish this end, and at the present time the company has a good line of credit A considerable number . our stock sales have been on the 50, SO and 90-day basis. and we have at the present time sufficient funds coming in during the next three months from deferred payments on stock to take care of all our current expenses as well as the payments that will become due upon the property in that period.
 Returns from the ore shipnents will be coming in steadily, the first returns being expected about the 25th of the month of April. The cars will average about $500 net in gold and copper and very soon we will be shipping three cars a week, or an average of about $7000 per month net received from
