the biograph as a means to show
just how work Is carried on in var

the rural mail service, another the

Something more than 100000 feet

the biograph is to be seen in state,

HEAVY TRAVEL FROM ORIENT

Travel to the Pacific coast prom
Uses to be more extensive the present
summer than at any time since the
general exodus of homegoers shortly
after the close of the war, says a
dispatch from Manila.
Many government employees and
officers of the insular army have let
their leave accrue for several years,
and this has been done in order that
their trip might be timed to witness
the ska-Yukon-Pacific exposition.
The steamship Minnesota of the
Great Northern line sailed on April
% for Seattle, and among her passen-
gers carried Governor General James
Smith and wife, and a number of in
sular government officials. The entire
passenger capacity for the voyage was
booked in advance. and every avail
able berth was occupied.
All trans-Pacifc lines have been
booking passage in advance for the
past two months and many have found
it necessary to make the voyage via
Suez in order to reach Puget sound
ports during midsummer.

"sUFFRAGE OR NO MARRIAGE"

cupid, the mischievous uniter of
hearts and maker of matches, has
been pressed into the service of the
s~uffragettes and, henceforth shall be
condemned, at least In Chicago, to
play the part of a hold-up-man. At
a we'll attended meeting of the Politi-
cal Equality Union Of that city the
first direct step i'm this matter was
taken and hundreds of more or less
good looking girls of manageable age
signed the following ominous pledge:
1--WE, the undersigned, believing as
we do, that in the matter of intelli-
gence ONE are equally endowed
with men, hereby pledge ourselves
not to marry any man who is not a
believer in and active worker for the
cause of equal suffrage for men and
women"
The ingenious plan of making ten
der passion subservient to the cause
of equal suffrage and of using it as
a lever to coerce men to join the suf-
frage brigade, originated in the fertile
and cunning brain of Miss Mary Nc
Enerney, secretary of the Bindery
Women's union who is an active work.
er in the Political Equality union.
Whatever suggested the idea to her
is not known, but thousands of young
men with tender aspirations are will
ing to swear that it was the same
old snake that persuaded Eve to do
the famous and so terribly disaster
Gus apple-trick in the young days of
Paradise.
. Miss McEnerney considered her plan
not only excellent but also feasible
and when she submitted to her
friends, thas is those feminini generis
they were delighted with it. Many
expressed their willingness to sign
the pledge at once and some were rash
enough to do so. 1t was considered
best, however, to start the movement
in proper form and for that reason
the meeting was called. Miss Nc
Enerney explained the plan to her
breathlessly listening sisters and their
enthusiasm knew no bounds. After
the meeting practically all the mar
riageable members present crowded
around the table of the secretary to
sign the pledge.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DROWN.

Ninety-nine times out Of a hun
dred drowning is the result of fright
and frenzy, says the New York Press.
There is a public horror of ramps
Not one case of cramps in one thou
sand is dangerous if the victim knows
what to do and does it. Every long.
distance swimmer entering a race eX-
pect to get cramps, yet he doesn't
drown and doesn't stop swimming
either. He keeps going until his legs
are in knots; still he doesn't sink.
He plugs along until there is not an
other kick in him, and even now he
doesn't go down. Instead of that he
rolls over on his back and waits for
the boat to pick him up. 1t may be
a minute and it may be an hour, but
until the boat m the expert will
be floating around like a chip.
When you catch a cramp in your
arms or legs don't get excited. You
may yell, but keep yourself under
control. Don't exert yourself, as it
takes little or no effort to keep afoat.
Crush down the feeling Of panic,
Stretch out your arm or leg, as the
case may be, until you are straining
to the utmost. Then strain a bit
harder, and watch the Jumped mus
Giles go down.
The dangerous clamp Is in the
stomach. When that takes you your
breath goes, and you're not able to
| shout for help or ever articulate a
sound. I have just known Of two
cases among hundreds of thousands
of swimmers. When you get that
kind Of a cramp you might as well
say your prayers, but you won't get
it if you don't eat for two hours be-
fore going into the water. Profess
sional swimmers go hungry a half
day before entering into a race, and
they never know such a thing as a
stomach cramp.
If a bather in trouble would use
common sense he never would drown.
The belief is general that three times
under water for the drowning person
means Grape and flowers. It's true
if you make the mistake of taking
water for air. Hold your mouth shut
when you are under water, and you'll
keep going down and coming up all
day. Don't exhaust yourself strug-
Cling. Relax every muscle and don't
move a hand. You'll find that you'll
never sink lower than your ears, and
that in a few seconds you'll rise up
until your shoulders are dry. You
can keep on doing this indefinitely,
but, Of course, if you drink water,
you will be weighted, and down you'll
go.

The anti-treating law that Wen into
effect on July l is not taken seriously
and in saloon towns no attempt is
made to comply with it or enforce it.
"Have something with me" goes just
as frequently as it did before the law
was put on the statute books. At the
time of it's passage this paper prophe-
sled that it would not be enforced
and based our guess on the fact that
the law has been a dead letter in every
state where it has been enacted. Laws
should not be passed for fun. They
should be enforced or repealed

THE 14rH IN FRANCE.

What the Fourth of July Is to the
American republic the Fourteenth Is
to our sister republic Of France. Just
as the signing of our immortal Declara-
ton signalized the doom of monarchy
on the western continent, so the
storming of the Bastile signalized its
doom in France; with a prophecy of
a similar fate for absolutism the Old
World over. That the cause of free
dom in France has passed through
strange, romantic vicissitudes since
the doors of Bastile were flung open,
while in America it marched steadily
on-each day offering some fresh as
surance of it's permanent establish
ment-seryes but to intensity the in
terest with which the people of the
United States watch the progress and
qualification of republican institutions
among the French.
French republicanism has had diff
culties to contend with, the magnitude
of which it has been hard for Ameri-
cans to understand. Our land offered
to our republican ideals a soil unoc-
cupied by any previous growths mimi
| cal to their success France, On the
contrary, when the old monarchy was
hewn down, had still to contend with
it's occupancy of the soil through roots
which penetrated deep and wide, and
which were continually sending up
shoots to embarass republican tillage.
We had no enemies to be feared
among our neighbors. France has
been hemmed in on all sides by mon
arches to whom it's republican aspira-
tons were tasteful, and who have
been every ready to unite to crush
them. 1t has been hard for France
to get away from it's historical, dead
ening policy of a partnership between
church and state. In America the
very thought of such a union has been
repulsive from the beginning. The
SooIC oDIll II ouOoSl NlSliSy " as
to class-has been another incubus
with which France has been obliged
to struggle. She has nearly gotten
away from it now; while in America,
by the way. we find some, at both ex-
tremes of society, who are sedulously
e~ndeavoring to cultivate it.
Bearing all these difficulties in mind,
the progress France has made in the
elaboration of republican ideals, and
in making stable the free institutions
which have seemed to rest on such
insecure foundations, is really marvel
Gus. In some points she may even
be recognized to schoolmaster Ameri-
ca. Her laws have tended to a more
even distribution of wealth. She has
no o~verbearing plutocracy like ours.
Justice is more evenly dealt out and
the laws are more generally and cheer
fully obeyed. She doesn't burn up
her homes and business blocks at the
rates of s25O,OOO a day. In the max
ing and preservation of roads she is
ahead, not only of this country, but
of the world. In forestry she has
taught us some valuable lessons.
The present republic, established
after two heart-breaking failures, has
endured since 1870. But naturally,
since it has fell heir TO all that had
been achieved for republicanism in
the years following the fall of Bastile,
the date of that event, 100 years ago,
is preserved as the national holiday

FOR INHERITANCE TAX.

declaring that the multi-milliOnaire
is not a helpful development in the
United States, but at the same time
giving him full credit for his energy
and ability in amassing his fortune,
provided his has been Of benefit to
his country and countrymen while he
was piling up his money, former Presi-
dent Roosevelt has gone on record as
%favoring the adoption of a progressive
inheritance tax as a partial solution
to the problem of concentrated wealth
in this country.
In an editorial in the current issue
of the Outlook the former president
says:
Worst of all, is to have great pow.
erty and great riches side by side in
constant contrast. Nevertheless even
this contrast can be accepted if men
are convinced that tho riches are ac-
cumulated as a result of great service
rendered to the people as a whole and
if their use is regulated in the inter-
est of the whole community.
"The movement, which has become
SO strong during the past few years
to secur on behalf of the nation, both
an adequate supervision of and all
effective taxation of vast fortunes so
far as their business use it concerned
is a healthy movement. 1t aims to
replace sullen discontinued, restless
pessimism and evil preparation for
revolution by an aggressive, healthy
determination to get at the bottom Of
our troubles and remedy them.
ITO halt in the movement as those
blinded men wish who care for only
immediate relief from all orders,
which would thwart their geeting what
is nc. theirs, would work wide-reach-
ing damage. Such a halt would turn
away the energies of the energetic and
fOrceful men who desire to reform
matters from a legitimate object into
the channel of bitter and destructive
agitation.
The reader of Prince Kuropatkin's
memoirs must be struck by the dam
age wrought to Russia by the unwise
opponents of all reform who by oppos-
ing every sensible movement for bet
terment, turned the energies of the
young men who, under happier con-
ditions, would have worked for ration
al betterment into the canels of a
useless and destructive revolutionary
movement.
The multi-millionaire is not per
Sc a healthy development in this
country. If his fortune rests on
a basis of wrong doing, he is a far
more dangerous criminal than any of
the types of ordinary criminals can
be. If his fortune is the result of a
great service rendered, we'll and good,
he deserves respect and reward for
such service-althoug We must re-
member to pay our homage to the
service itself and not the fortune
which is the mere reward for the
service.
But when his fortune is passed on
to some one else who has not rendered
a service, then the nation should i'm
pose a heavily, graduated, progressive
inheritance tax, a singulary wise and
unobjectionable kind of tax. 1t would
be a particularly good thing if the tax
bore heaviest on absentees."

Mr.. Earhart Complains

In our report last week of the sale of
the Earhart farm in Viola township we
said that after selling the fam Mr.. Ear
hart backed down on his agreement and
accepted a higher price. OF course we
had no personal knowledge of the trans
action but based our report upon the
statement of the parties who said they
had bought the farm. Now comes Mr..
Earhart in a letter handed us for peru
sal aud resents the intimation that he
did not keep his agreement. He claims
that no sale was made to these partses:
that in their talk over the phone he re-
ferred them to his son, Philip Earhart,
to whom he had given authority to sell;
and that he would be at the place on
Monday when he would see them and
have a talk with them. When he arTiv-
ed there he found that his SOL Philip
Earhart had sold the farm to William
Owen through Mantz & White at $l05
an acre and Mr.. White tells us that is
the price at which Mr.. Earhart had list
ed it with the firm a month before. We
are glad to give Mr.. Earhart the benefit
of this statement from his understand
ing of the case and we drop the matter
for others to settle.

ment to the managers: and not only that
but the heavy loss to the Redpath-Vaw-
ter Bureau. Had Sunday been Il fine
day such as we had during the week
there would have been a large crowd in
attendance, afternoon and evening. to
whom they would have sold not less
than 600 single tickets which would
have meant $3.50 in cash. In what a
stew a local committee with a Chautau-
qua on its hands would have been with
such a Sunday. We'd like to see all the
croakers and kickers in that kind of
grief.
