or preference for what is good The
question of taxation he said. had al
ways engaged the attention of states
men and he did not believe in with
drawing it from the people to place It
in the hands of commission.
Mr.. Bailey said if he could do so he
would abolish all tariff duties and sup
port the government by the same general
system of taxation that exists in the
different states. but the restriction of the
constitution in its limitations upon direct
taxation would make that policy impos-
sible and he would not disturb that re-
striction If he could do so That restric
ton would make the citizens of some
states pay higher duty than the citizens
of some other states. and without direct
taxation which for that reason becomes
Impossible, it would not be possible to
raise enough money by any fern of taxa
ton without customs duties.
Speaking Of sthe principle of the pro-
tective tariff MI Bailey said:
IF your law ended when it gave your
fellow citizens an advantage over the cit
liens of another country. | would be one
Of its most ardent supporters. But it does
not end there because its inevitable effect
IS 10 give few of our fellow citizens an
enormous advantage over the others of
our countIymen.
The practical effect Of tn" protective
tariff he said. was to give bounty to
the favored manufacturers. The only
difference is in the direct and the m
direct WAY Of taking money from one
man and giving it to another who has
no honest claim upon it, he said. Re

LIcK'S FIRST LOVE AFFAIR
Future Millionaire Was RepuIsed by
Girls Father Because of His
Poverty.

There are many stories of the light
er side of finance in which love affairs
find a place. Perhaps none of these
is more peculiar than the story of
James Lick, a name famous all over
the world through a monument to his
memory, the great Lick observatory,
in California. In the financial world
the great city of San Francisco is a
monument to Lick's luck-he foresaw
| the possibility of the great city of the
Pacific slope. bought the land on
which it now stands, and became a
millionaire. Before that time the
name of Lick was great in the musical
world. LiCk's pianOs-out of which
he made the money which he invested
In land-were manufactured by him.
But on the poetic side of life-a world
apart from such things as pianO-mak-
ing and mud-fats-the great Lick Mill
stands as a monument to Lick's love.
In early life James Lick sought the
hand of a miller's daughter, but was
repealed by the father on the ground
that the young suitoT did not possess

Haunted Alaskan island,

To the south and west of Kodiak,
distant about 100 miles, and forming
one Of the Semidi group, is the island
OF Chirikof, the haunted island of
Alaska
EnshTOUded for a great portion Of
the time with almost impenetrable
fog, the Tanna Tribune says, this lone
ly isle is an object of terror to the
natives, who we'll not go near the
island, saying it means certain death
to invade the canny confines, and
there are few men in the far north
who have the temerity to test the
truth of the many and weird tales told
Of this fOTbidding and barren island.
ShipmasteTs and sailors passing the
place assert that the agonizing cries Of
Russian exiles sent there to starVe or
die of torture are sometimes heard
On quiet nights, while the clink OF
chains and the sound of blows are
testified to in an affidavit by a white
man who once attempted to remain
there for a week and who lost his
reason.
