The Mason City Times thinks "The
presidents suggestion that Senator
Aldrich may take to the lecture plat
form, Is not half bad. The people
would at least be curious to get a
glimpse of so powerful a representa-

will the issue raised by President
Taft have a direct effect on purely
state politics." inquiries the Cedar
Rapids Gazette and replies to its own
question: "The answer is yes The
Gazette is going to make the predic-
ton that Mr.. B. F. Carroll will be a
one-term governor, and that the fight
for state offices will be the old pro-
standpat fight over again,
with the progressives victors, in the
primaries, in a majority if not all Of
the contests over state offices"

LIMITING GREAT FORTUNES.
Plea for Graduated Inheritance Tax
 Leveled At Wealth.

Agust Donath in Chester (Pa.) Times.
 To a certain extent the American bush ness man is money mad. No limit does there seem to his desire as regards the accumulation of wealth. What was once an ample fortune no longer satisfies him. He wants boundless wealth. He craves for an unlimited influence that shall place him above his countrymen, above the law of the land independent of those whose sworn duty it Is to enforce that law. He has actually reached the point where his impudence is displayed in the attempt to influence even the United States Senate by his telegram that certain legislation lis displeasing to him" Of course, the publcitys given to this attempt caused him to refrain from a repetition of that blunder, but there have been ample proofs since then to show that swollen wealth hesitates not in the effort to purchase men high in station and to taint the agencies that create or at least influence public sentiment It is because of these facts that it has become clear in my mind, it has become clear to thinking men throughout the land. that this apparently irresistible augmentation of individual wealth Is dangerous to national life, is corrupting in it's influence on the national character.
 The late President was earnest In his efforts to reach by legislation the evil of which I speak. Yet it Is doubtful if the law can reach the core of the evil An inheritance tax if wisely worded and faithfully enforced, may do more than has so far seemed likely to result from legislation. Take away the incentive to absorb the general wealth by the few, and long step in the direction of better ment will have been taken. To destory this incentive the rate of taxation on in heritances should be graduated. The modest fortune of the average American need bear no burden of the sort at all. The more prosperous leavings of the dead should contribute to the expenses of the government that protected the accumula- tor in the days of his activity. The "swolen fortunes" however, should be made to return In large volume to the na- tion that in ways perhaps lawful but nevertheless ways that were dangerous to the national veal, was made to contribute to it's augmentation. Then the multi-mil- lionaire would lose his zest in piling up the dollars He would know that after he had reached a certain point his labor would be largely for the benefit of the nation at large, and 1t is quite certain that human nature would assert itself and cause him to go slow.

If You Are Not Succeeding

Go out in the country or get by yourse If somewhere, and give yourself good talk ing to, advises pr. Warden in Success magazine. Just resolve to be a man. Say to yourself, There is enough in me to make me grand success yet. and I am going to bring it out. There is no reason why others should succeed and should fail"
 Resolve to put out of your mind for ever every suggestion that you can pos sibly fail. Arouse yourself to action. En- courage yourself in every possible way by talking to yourself. Assert your divinity. and you will be surprised at the power which will come to your rescue
 You will be amazed to find how, in short time. yoar whole mental attitude will change: and this will very quickly change your appearance Then. if you look for position. you will go with the afr of q oonqueror, with victory in your eye.

HOW THE SHIP WENT DOWN

In Harper's for April, George Harding, the author, writes dramatically of the sinking of the ship on which he sailed with the Newfoundland sealing fleet. His experience was uniquely perilous. The ship was crushed like an egg in the ice.
 "On the bridge were the captain and watch anxiously awaiting the chance to head the ship out of the moving ice into the stationary pack of which the big sheet was part. The bowline lay on the barricade, ready for heaving when the crew should be ordered on the foe to haul the ships head around. Aloft, the spy man searched the gloom for signs of luil in the confused and tremendous waste.
 Then there came terrific crush. The vessel caught in the trench between the raftering sheets, was powerless to escape. The smash of breaking timbers rose above the gale as a great corner of ice crushed the vessels side amidships. The captain and watch rushed to the engine room; 1t was filled with steam, the .infiowing water having already reached the fires. A glance
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-11

showed that nothing. could stop the thrush of water. The firemen were retreating the first of them, like a creature from an- other world coal-begrimed, undershirt- clad, reached the ice-sheathed deck, spreading panic in his path. Above the hailing of questions and shouts that no man could understand, came the voice of the skipper-he knew the situation as no other man.
 'Menr he shouted, the ship Il go pack your clothes-save the grub!
 Then 1t was confusion everywhere; the crew poured mp the hatchway, hauling clothes boxes and bags, crowding over the side, colliding in mid-air, as they half tumbled and half slid down the ropes then back for food Laboriously the heavy pork barrels were hauled by hand from the after-hold, where men bravely toiled. Others fought their way aloft, where the sails were slowed The canvas cut loose, bellying out in force of the gale, was dropped to the deck. Punts were slipped from the dayits; some. hitting the ice with crash, were stove in. Through out 1t all the captain shouting:
 !" Haul them punts and grub farther off! Farther yeti Fartherl'
 'The water rapidly rising drove the men from the lower hold; they retreated to the deck Then the inflow, level with the ocean, ceased; the ice for the time held the ship in it's grip. Second by second passed, bringing no change. In that brief interval each man thought to save the thing he most desired. A wild rush was made to wheel house, to cabin, to the ships store room-every man for himself "a 7scuffle to get the thing most coveted and escape to the ice. With one 1t was a rifle from the ships armory to replace the satiquated muzzle-loader at home. With another, the ships compass or the barom- eter. With the after galley cook it was the cabin dishes. In the cabin a crowd surged to the medicine chest scrambling for liniments and pills, smashing anything that was an obstacle in their way. Such was the scene when the cry arose on deck, repeated by 50 men and echoing through out the vessel 'Tis time to take to the ice.' Then great rush % be clear of the doomed ship as the mass of men, some empty-handed, others laden, defending their spoil from the unsuccessful, plunged on to the ice.
 "The ship was sinking fast It was but a short leap for the last man from her deck to the loosening ice. The men stood on the foe, looking the ship over from the bow, lifted high, to the stern now below water.
 |" "A pity to lose the vessel they said. Wonderful hard to lose the trip O fat
 "Then came the final plunge; the main- mast, reaching over the foe, broke as the weight of the vessel pulled it under. The great anchors sliding from the bow added to the tumult, as everything not frozen solid to the deck crashed into the house and galley-for a second, flash of flame shot from the overturned stoves-then nothing save a few seal belts and broken oars lay on the surface of the troubled hole in the foe where the Grand Lake had disappeared"

A Southern Milkman.

From Tit-Bits.
 E. H. Hartman, the railroad mag nate, has a big country place in Vir- ginia-a hunting box. he calls it. but it 4s more like hunting WaldorfAstoria. One morning MT. Hartman rose early and was sitting on one of the porch es. A milk man drove up and got out to bring in some milk. The milkma n started for the front door.
 Here, you snapped Hartman Take that milk around the back way What do you mean by bringing it in this way?'
 "Mean?" said the milkman. 'I mean that l am a Virginia gentleman. and I am not accustomed to be talked 10 in this manner, suh. I shall deliver this milk where I please, suh. If you do not like 1t, you have a means of ob taining satisfaction, suh No. no'thern- CT like you can talk to me like that, suh."
 Hartman retired. Next morning
