The short summer was fastening on
In the breathless fashion of the north;
&C. was still early in August and there
had been no rain for weeks in Ange-

had taken on e livid, sickly hue UNI

acrid smell was in the air. From
dawn till dark the people toiled fever
ishly. gathering the premature harvest
and fighting the forest fires that crept
stealthily toward the village and
the north and west.
Old men, women and girls-alb
turned into the fields TO lend hand.

they say. A descendant Of Turk IL
the fourth generation, one Alindeje
Khan, had two sons (twlns), who
we're named Tatar-Khan and Mogun
Khan.
Tatar WIGS the father of the Turks;
Mogul was the father Of the Mongols
turks and Mongols were thus close
" connected by birth, and the wars
which at once broke out between
them and the reconciliations that
speedily ensued had much Of the ma.

The Turks were the more frequent.

ter another yielding to their arms,
without the cousins nursing greater
animosity than is usually left behind
by wrangles among kinsmen. Not till
the Christian era was well advanced
did the chronological name of these

The Chinese chronicles, with charac.

China in the year 500.
From the earliest times the Turks
were warriors. They were the special

They fought with the forces or India,

they loved to fight.
It was part Of their creed long be-

At first they had no religion They

came enthusiastic converts.
A central element in each Of the
religions adopted by the Tatars was
that of obedience and reverence for
authority. Rebellion was the worst
crime. This brought two of the worst
massacres In the history of the world.
For fomenting a rebellion the I'M
habitants of the city of Herat, l,OOV,'
600 people, were put to the sword in
a week. For the same offence at Bag

LIVELY DEBATE IN THE SENATE

Rhode Island Senator Declares He
FaVors the Corporation Tax as a
Means Of Defeating the Income Tax
Bailey Charges Aldrich With Pre-.
ssnting subterfuge.
Washington June 3O.-The income
tax and the proposed tax on corpora
tions formed the subject of a lively
debate in the senate Senator Aldrich,
IN reply to questions, admitting that
ne favored the tax on corporations as
means Of defeating the income tax
This admission. coming from the
chairman of the committee on finance,
stirred up the Democrats.
Senator Clay of Georgia, started
the trouble. He paid his respects to
the chairman of the committee on
finance, recalling that at the beginning
Of the session Mr.. Aldrich had told
the senate and the country that the
tariff bill he was then reporting would
raise sufficient revenues to sustain the
government If Mr Aldrich's state
ment was true, and still holds true
now, Mr.. Clay wanted to be informed
whether Senator Aldrich would not
consent to again turning to a revision
Of the tariff in order to reduce reve-
nues from that source which. it was
admitted, would now be yielded by
the tax on corporations. In the course /
of debate Senator Aldrlch made the /
startling statement that the proposal |
Of an income tax was intended as |
rebuke to the supreme court of the .
United States. He declared emphati- /
cally that the Bailey income tax
amendment was held to be unconstitu-
tional by the most thoughtful people.
mot the most thoughtful people"
exclaimed Senator Bailey, "but the
least thoughtful"
Another statement made by Sena-
tor Aldrich attracted attention The
tax -ea corporations was proposed as a
temporary measure, he said. It would
raise revenues to meet deficiencies
that were generally admitted would
exist for the next few years The tax
act may then be repealed when it has
served its purpose" he said.
The Democratic senators kept driv-
ing it home that Senator Aldrich had
that he favored the new tax
merely as a means of defeating the in
come tax measure.
Then this proposition about income
before the senate is a subterfuge,"
said Mr. Bailey.
1T is not a subterfuge," returned
Mr. Aldrich |
"If it is not subterfuge in view of t
the statement of the senator from
Rhode Island that he favored it as c
