Mr.. Taft declared congress did not

ded that he has been impressed dur

views are in strict accord with those
of the administration. and that he has

people were being robbed and that if
he was elected governor he was going
to run the state after the lines of an
economical business enterprise. The
people remember this now while they
are paying their taxes.
"An the explanations in the world
as to the cause for the increase of
taxes can be put upon one side by
Brother Stubs, and his appointees,
ent fact that the taxes have been in
creasing every year since Stubs first
went into politics, since he obtained
his first contract from the Rock Is

by reason of the fact that he was run

WEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Two Notable Instances in Which They
Are Not Synonymous.

New York. November 1S.-At Seventy
seventh and Fifth avenue stands a
monument to the universal failure of
riches to bring happiness. 1t is the in
completed home of ex-senator WilliaiA
A. Clark. 1t has been in course of
erection for eight years and has not
been completed yet, and perhaps never
will be. In it's present unfinished con-
dition it is estimated by city officials
to have cost $3.000,0 900. A special realty
company was formed to build it and the
senator bought Up the largest bronze
making concern In New York to supply
it with bronze.
1t is the laughing stock of most of
the architects of New York, who de-
scribe it as a mixture of a French chat
eau, a prison, a fortress and a Chinese
pagoda. Its leading features were de-
signed by the senator himself.
The senator has a young wife, Miss
Anna La Chapelle, whom he married a
few years ago under romantic circum-
stances at Marseilles, in France. She
does not care for the new palace, but
prefers the house where she is now liv-
ing in Paris.
Still more remarkable is the case Of
Mrs. John Jacob Aston. Her husband
had a very magnificent house in the
French style at No. $40 Fifth avenue
and it was a twin with the house of
his mother, the famous society leader,
at No. 842 Fifth avenue. When Mrs.
Astor died last winter Col John Jacob

Transformed Germany.

The expansion of Germany in re-
cent years has been marked by ire
mendous development in industry, and
SO in wealth and power. Her popu-
lation has increased by one-half since
1870, and among the leading nations
of Europe her birth rate is relatively
the highest. Yet today her narrow
boundaries limit her expansion to an
intensified industrial life, and thus
only in a mediate way can she share
in the progressive development of the
world. Her necessities for further
growth are imperative.
Incomprehensible to many of our
contemporaries the most fabulous
change is taking place before our very
eyes. Mark its significance. In the
eighteenth century Germany had no
exports whatever to balance the i'm
portation of luxuries for her several

SUIT FOR UNPAID STOCK
Receiver Is Asked for the Union Life
Insurance Company.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-A suit was
filed here today against the Union Life
Insurance company to collect unpaid stock
subscriptions of $4,000 and asking the
appointment of a receiver.
w. S. King of Memphis, Tenn, and
eleven other stockholders from various
portions of the country are plaintiffs and
70 persons who had subscribed for stock
are defendants.
The principal reason for the company's
failure, the petition states, is that the
state requires deposit of 100000 before
the company can begin business. The
company was organized in October, 1907.
Judge Park, of the circuit court, re-
served decision in the matter of naming
receiver.
