In the Meantime What Are tho
States Doing.

That letter. published yesterday
from Forester Pinchot to a director
OF one OF the great electrical machin
cry manufacturing corporations whicl
has interest in water power sites
and water power progress. is in
structive as showing the manner in
augurated at Washington Of guard
ing the future from monopoly. Large
ly through the foresight OF Mr.. Pin
chot the federal departments have
taken precautions against perpetual
franchises and rights Of way to the
power companies which are in the
not distant future to be such a fac
tor in national economies. but what
about the state.
The authority of the federal gov
ernment is confined to navigable riv-
ers and to sites along water courses
which are part Of the public do
main. In all other cases the water
power corporations have to do with
the states and the states have done
little, II anything. to guard the res
erwations.
1t would not be good policy for n
state government any more than l.
would be for the national govern
ment-and Mr.. Pinchot makes clear
the proposition OF the latter-to
make such regulations to pass such
laws as would inhibit progress in
this direction; but, on the other hand
1t would be worse than folly to give
everything away for all time. The
states ought to take equal precau
tioas with the federal governme
looking to the future. That captioul
argument that water runs down hi
and that its power for service is no
wasted so long as gravity exists,
finding abundant refutation In the
West, Colorado not excepted The
corporation which secures first the
most available sites and combines
them has the Right of way. This is
recognized by the farsighted gentle
men who have made their millions
through foresight and appreciation OF
and they are engaged at this nom
ment In distributing territory among
the two great combinations to the
fore in the water power business.
Strange Is 1t not that the publ
cations around this way which are
In req fury against the claim OF per
petusi franchises for bits Of street
railways shouid be such entnus -

Taxing III. Poor Rich Man.

When the rule that Congress
should levy no direct taxes except In
proportion to population was put Ia
to the constitution 1t argued that
the wealth of one section relativei.
to that OF another would be substal-
TALLY in proportion to the popuia-
tiou. The subject had been canvass
cd some yean before and the same
conclusion reached.
Such meager statistics as were
then available seemed to bear 1t
out. But subsequent experience has
completely refuted this theory. We
now know positively. for example,
that the wealth per capita OF the
North Atlantic states is more than
double that of the South Atlantic
states; that, relatively to population
the wealth OF the western states l.
over three times that Of the South
Central states.
Already, in the east, some conser-
vative opposition Is organizing agains
the proposed constitutional amend
ment witch would permit Congress
to levy an income tax without ap
portioning It among the several stat
es in the ratio OF their population
One objection Is that under tha
amendment the richer states woult
Rave to pay more taxes than the
poorer-as though that were no
precisely what they ought to do
And another objection Is: "Let u
not tamper with the constitution;
le, US not depart from the wise
rule of the fathers''-even although
experience has conclusively demon
strated that the argument by which
that rule was supported Is absolute
ly fallacious.
The gift Of reason. as has beeI
remarked before, was bestowed up
on us in order that we might inven
arguments for what we want to DO
or AGAINST what We don Tex.

TEACHERS

The teachers of the rural dis
tricts of Montgomery county met
Monday for a two days meeting
for the purpose of discussing the
ways and mean for the advance
ment of our rural schools.
1t was decided that they would
hold halliday sessions so that the
teachers might have an opportun-
ity Of attending the afternoon ses-
sions of the Chautauqua.
General discussions on all sub
jects in the course of study are
being entered into by all present
and are proving helpful indeed.
The questions of correlation and
alienation + being fully ex-
planned by the county superin-
tendent, and the difficulties of the
teachers are being discussed-that
the waste of time to the pupil may
be minimized.
1t is fully believed that the
meeting will result in much good
that the teachers will leave with
a higher ideal-a determination tc
bring within the reach of the
country boy and girl an education
that will put them on the same
basis as the pupils who have the
advantages of the graded school

Thousands who suffer from
backache and kidney complain t
have tried one remedy after
another, finding only temporary
benefit. This is discouraging,
but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently
and there is plenty of proof right
here in Montgomery City. Here
is the testimony of one who used
Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
John A. Weise, Montgomery
City, Mo-, says: "For some time
l was afflicted with lumbago and
could not stoop, straighten or turn
over in bed. After sitting for any
length of time my back would:be-
come so lame that | would have to
have assistance on arising. l
also had pains in my. head and
shoulders and was unable to OBJ
tain relief until I procured Doan's
Kidney Pills at Crump and Kid
wells drug store. They cured in e
of the complaint and l therefore
gladly recommend Them: Estate

A LETTER.

So many inquiries and kind eN-
pressions Of regret about my leav-
ing the school have come to me
during the last few weeks that I
am prompted to say a few words
through the paper.
1t was with a great deal OF re-
luctance that | decided to give
up my position here, and it was
only in response to the spirit of
growth and progress that sought
a larger and more remunerative
field of labor.
l desire to thank the people of
Montgomery for their support and
kind treatment during my eight
years of teaching in their school.
I am indeed glad and thankful
that 1 have had the privilege of
spending eight of the best years
Of my life with the dear boys and
girls of Montgomery City at an
age when they are most respons-
i've and most impressionable.
have labored to help them and
trust my efforts have not been
in vain. These years have been
very pleasant and rich to me. ]
have loved the boys and girls oil
my classes, and tried to touch
their lives by living and mingling
with them. During my years Of
service here, / have practically
forgotten all else save the best
interests of the pupils of the
Montgomery schools. The pupil:
have cert linly been very kind anc
good to me and I feel that l can.
not adequately express my graft
tude toward them. l shall alway'
remember them with the creates
pleasure and kindness.
You have great reason to b.
proud of your children. They req
resent the greatest wealth. in chi
world to you, and your school i
the most important thing you hav,
or ever can have in Montgomer,
City. Support it heartily, and d,
not b~egru1ge any money you hav
to pay to support or improve tn
schools. What IS money or mate
rial wealth or gain compared t.
the proper training, education o
equipment for lie of your boy
and girls?
l shall always love the boy
and girls Of Montgomery, but m
heart goes out to the boys an,
girls Of the country districts who's
condition is less fortunate on &C
count Of less efficient school
within their reach. l expect t
put my soul and energy into m
new work, and trust l may b
able to help the teachers to great
ly improve the country schools s
as to place within the reach {
every boy and girl in Montgom
cry county the best possible ed
ucational facilities.
Again thanking the patrons {
the Montgomery schools for the
support and kindness, and wish
ing for your school a continuou
growth in efficiency, l assure yo
l am ever your friend,

CONG GRIGGS is CONFEREE BLIND SENATOR'S "EYES'
HIS WIFE THE SUBSTITUTE.
WATCHES THROUGH HER
AEROPLANE TRIALS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Through
going out to Fort Myer repeatedly
to see" the Wright brothers fly in
their aeroplane Senator Gore from
Oklahoma is fast becoming one of
the most enthusiastic aeronauts in
Washington, yet the Senator is stone
blind.
Senator Cores substitute for the
eyes he lost by series of accidents
during his youth is his wife and a
keen sense of hearing, to both of
which his mind is peculiarly attuned.
From them he obtains the same thrill
of excitement that others experience
through first hand perception. He
is well satisfied with second hand
The presence of Senator and Mrs
Gore on the Fort Myer drill ground
is regarded as an excellent example
of the way in which her eyes and
his mind work together Few men
in Washington are so affected by the
atmosphere of an event as the
senator. That helps him to compre-
bend the quiet words of his wife, as
she explains every movement of the
aviators, of the success or failure of
the machine in starting, in maintain
ing itself in the air, and in descend
ing. When all is concluded Senator
Gore is just as anxious to applaud
as any other spectator.
The Oklahoma senator also is very
fond of watching" a baseball game,
and he is a frequent patron of the
American League games here. Sen
ator Cores wife knows more about
baseball than many wives husbands.

is GIVEN DIVORCE.

ATLANTA, GA first decree of
divorce was granted in Fulton su-
perior court yesterday to Sylvey
Speer against her husband, Russell
J. Thomas, formerly the family chat
feur. In her petition the young wo-
man alleges that she was drugged
when she married Thomas and did
not know what she was doing. She
states further that she had no reali-
zation of what was taking place at
the time.
Sylvey Speer's marriage to young
Russell Thomas was tremendous
sensation here at the time A young
and beautiful society girl, with great
wealth at her command, ran away
with and welded the young Chauffeur,
who worked for her father. There
was no apparent objection to Thorn
as other than the fact that he was
below the girl in the social scale.
1t resulted in the young couple run
ming away, but they were caught at
Charlotte and held until the mother
of the girl could go there. She
brought the girl back home and
shortly afterWard went abroad with
her
Since then Thomas went to Cuba,
and it was reported that he was paid
"a considerable sum not to fight the
divorce proceedings. In her divorce
she said that the father of Russell
Thomas threatened to kill her father
unless she married Russell. She
claims that on the day they were
married they gave her some kind of
tablet which made her dizzy and ire

become cognizant of her surround

SMITH MAKES STATEMENT
SAYS DEFICIT IS AN ILLUSION.
GOVERNOR CAN BORROW AND
USE NEAR BEER TAX.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Former Govern
or Hoke Smith on Friday gave out a
statement in reply to what he calls
IAN effort in certain quarters to mis-
represent the condition of the state
treasury" In his statement Mr..
Smith says that the treasury is in
excellent condition, and that in real
| ity instead of there being a deficit
in the treasury in the next quarter
of something like 100000 there is,
taking into account the power of the
governor to borrow, 100000 now
available more than sufficient to
meet the ordinary expenditures. He
says in part:
Newspapers are using the letter
written by Treasurer Brown to the
governor to create the impression
that there will be deficit of $780,
600 in the treasury during the next
quarter, and they seek to create the
impression that this is an unusual
condition of affairs, to the discredit
of the management of the states fl
nances during the past two years.
The letter of Treasurer Brown
shows:

the third quarter, i. e.
from July 1 to Oct 1
of the present year. $4,000 90
