TAXING TEA.

| The effort to secure duty of 10 per
cent on tea has been renewed vigor-
ously. Who is pressing 1T? Not the
millions of consumers, for they know
they are paying a fair price for tea
today; not the open minded protec-
ZIONIST in congress who has informed
himself, for he knows that the tea pro-
duction of the country is not and can
never be a drop in the bucket of con-
sumption.
South Carolina has been twenty-five
years at work on few tea plantations.
Her gross output is now 10000 pounds,
enough to supply Marshall county per-
/ haps two or three weeks. The Carolina
tea industry has received every aid the
agricultural department of the United
States could give it. After twenty-five
| years it produces enough to supply the
country little more than one day in
the year.
i Here are some facts TO be consid-
cred:
The consumption of tea in the In
/ tied States is about l00,0O0,O00 pounds
yearly.
The poorer classes now pay % cents
to 35 cents per pound for their tea, not
80 cents to IS cents as falsely stated.
which can be verified by inquiry ait
any retail grocery store in any larger
city.
A tax of 10 cents per pound would
simply mean that the price to the con-
sumer would be increased that much.
There is no tea trust, hence COM
petition is keen and the retailer for his
own protection, can not ask excessive
profits.
The question is simply: Shall So,-
100000 people be taxed for their tea
for the benefit of few holders and
against the protests to the senate and
house, of consumers and wholesale,
jobbing and retail associations from all
over the United States? The latter
numbers four hundred thousand retail
merchants, representing the tea con-
suming public of the United States"

"BILLY" LoRiMER

Illinois has a new senator Who is lit
tie credit to the state for what he has
done, what he is likely to do or the
manner of his election. He is a pro-
duct of plain disregard of the result of
the statewide primary wherein Hop
kins held an impressive majority Of
votes. He is essentially politician, a
mixer and boss. Whatever Hopkins
may be he was the apparent choice
Of the voters of the party and there
has been nothing gained and probably
nothing great lost in the exchange. The
plain refusal to abide the dictates
Of the voters has lost nothing to the
people. The primary nomination has
come to stay. Il legislatures shall re-
fuse to comply with it they are has
tening the day of direct vote on the
office of {. S. senator.
Lorimer is a product of metropolitan
political conditions and circumstances.
He came out of the packing house
where he was earning wages, to be-
! come conductor on street car, devel-
| oped into contractor and found his
way to congress. He is an illustration
of the opportunity this country affords
to a 5-year-old immigrant, for Lori
nner was born in England. He is also

geneity of the stockyards district.
"Billy'' Lorimer will take care of the
gang. That is he will keep his fences
in good repair if he doesn't get to
Washington twice in term. And per-
haps both the country and Illinois will
be as we'll off If private business keeps
Billy away most of the time.

LOOK TOWARD THE SUN.
ISchallar Herald

For the past two or three weeks the
editors wife has been the proud pos
sess or of three or four stalks of Easter
lilies each stalk having three or four
beautiful blossoms. These were seen
and admired by many as they passed
day by day. This was commonplace
affair, but the uncommon part was the
fact that these lilies would always turn
toward the light. If the plants were
turned so the flowers faced the in
terror, they would in short time ad-
just themselves to their old position.
This is true of all flowers, we believe.
They will always so adjust themselves
as to turn from darkness, ever looking
toward the light. The flowers have a
lesson for US. We should never allow
ourselves to face toward life's gloom.
We should never sit down in the shad-
ows Of any sorrow and let night dark
en- over us into the gloom Of despair.
We She initiate the flowers and turn
our faces toward the light and quicken
every energy for Drawer duty and truer,
holier service. Grief should always
have beneficial effect, giving us new
skill and power; it should make our
hearts softer, our spirits kindlier, our
touch more gentle; it should teach us
its holy lessons, and like the flowers,
keep our faces toward the light

ATTENDING ONES OWN BUSINESS.

The public schoolteachers of New
York City are to be investigated. A.
committee is to go mousing about coll
lecting statistics as to the cost of liv-
ing, how the teachers live, what they
eat, wear, how often they go to the
theater, what they spend on dress, etc.
And the teachers are angrily resentfui
and have preferred in chaste and
courteous English the request made by
one Of their pupils when he orders an
other to keep his nose out of my bus
mess"
The teachers are right and within
their rights. It isn't the slightest bus
mess Of any sociologically inclined
school board how the teacher spends
the money she overearns, whether she
eats meat three times a day or
practices vegetarianism, buys an ex-
ira gown Or goes to the tfeater once
of twice month instead. That's her
business so long as she pays her debts,

the Dank. The result was Jnat over
$4,000 was left with him, all OF which.
In the regular course Of events, would
have gone over the bars. Opposition
grew hot against him, Of course, and
on two occasions the saloonkeepers
caused his arrest on the charge Of car
rying concealed weapons. At other
times they threatened his life, and q
threat Is no idle thing in Taft, where
the melting of the snow each spring
discloses the skeletons OF men killed
during the winter. None of these things
deferred him, however; he continued
to fight the liquor element and urge
the strict enforcement Of the laws.
With the aid of the sheriff, who stood
at his side with drawn revolver, he
gathered a company and held meetings
before the most notorious resort. In
spite Of the plano inside and the jeer-
Ing crowds in the windows, the gospel
finally conquered; men and women
were drawn out of the houses to gather
about the cart which served as a pull
pit, and more than one found eternal
life.
'"The great test came on Christmas
Of last year. when the camp was given
its first birthday. So certain was the
foreman that the majority of his work.
men would be incapacitated for labor
through drink, that he took the pre-
caution of ordering 200 extra men to
start work on the twenty-stxth Gam
blers, prostitutes, and bootleggers
flocked into town in anticipation of
the day. But Mr.. Morrison was ready
for them. On the night before Christ
mas he held a meeting in the camp,
and talked the matter over with the
boys There, after prayer and brief
speech, they pledged themselves to fool
the whole crowd of devils by boycott
ing the town on Christmas. A tree
was arranged in the camp, a phono-
graph played during the day, and Mr..
Morrison showed pictures in the after
noon and evening. The result-won-
derful to every one from the superin-
tendent down-was that only two men
out Of the whole number were unable
to report for work next day, and the
gamblers in disgust declared that
there was not enough money spent in
Taft to pay for calling a quorum.
Those who approved the experiment
said, Don't preach religion; just
make yourselves useful to the men,"
But 1t was preaching which the men
wanted. They said to Mr.. Morrison
time and again, Don't close your meet
ing. partner, until you pray for u.s. 1t
was the Distinctly religious element in
the work which made it's success pos
sible. Taft has proved again what
needed no proof, that there is no other
rame under heaven By which men can
be saved!'"
The success of the work in Taft and
in other construction camps has en-
couraged the International committee
of the Y. NJ. c. A. to extend this work
to all camps in the country; and con-
tractors and railroads are said to be
contributing generously to this end
recognizing that no sum is too large
to pay in return for sobriety and stead
mess in the men"

The Salvation Of M1aft.y


A year ago the toughest place in the
world" was said to be Taft, Mont. 1t
had one store. twenty-six saloons, and
an undertaking establishment. Two
years ago it did not even exist; but the
construction OF a great tunnel on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Rail-
road called it into existence with a
population of a thousand men. with
the men came all those vicious insti-
tutions which prey upon them-saloons,
houses Of ill-fame, and gambling dens.'
The story Of its redemption, which is
said to read like a passage fr I'm the
Gospels" is given in The Home Her
aid (Chicago). and runs in this wise:
THE Y. NJ. c. A. has attacked similar
problems In other places with success,
but even those who knew liz work dis
couraged any attempt at Taft. The
town, they said, was too tough. In the
face Of this we!l-mrant advice Mr..
Mt;yison, a secretary OF tho associa-
ton, went onto the ground. ana with
the help of the company established
a pleasant and attractive Y. M. c. A.
room. Up to this time the men. had
been cashing their pay-checks in sa-
looms, there being no other place to
cash them. Mr.. Morrison arranged
with banker in a nearby town to un-
dertake this business. On the next
day, the money was shipped into Taft,
and Mr.. Morrison, armed with a rec
vofver. rode with it from the train TO
the camp. There he cashed the checks.
encouraged the men to leave over all
surplus funds with him for deposit In

BLOOD sPLoTCHED oTUMwA

lOttumwa Review.
Smoky Row adds another blood
splotch to her crimson history by the
murder Of woman last evening, fol-
lowed Immediately by the suicide of
the murderer.
| 1t was a sequel to the evils OF black
and white marriages permitted in the
state of Iowa.
| Edwards was a mulatto, his wife an
offspring of not too particular white
parents. The girl welded at the early
age OF 10, and with the consent Of her
father, Dave Havener, then a resident
Of Fairfield.
Edwards wooed and won the girl and
finally showed up at Rutledge with her
and two children by the union.
Havener moved to Ottumwa and into
the Mill street section. His daughter
tired of her negro husband and re-
| turned to her fathers home. The sep
aration enraged the negro, and he
finally committed the deed that is I'M
paralleled in recent years for grim de-
termination and bestial ferocity.
What the lesson teaches on the mar
rage of mixed races is enough, aside
from the social features of such ANAL
gamation of the races. 1t is crime
in most states, especially those of the
south, this marriage between black
and white. The results can not be
creditable to the age in whatever the
issue. 1t is degradation predestined
for the unborn, it is an exhibition of
depraved humanity whatever way the
view is taken. And the "culled par
son" who is guilty of going thru cere-
mony wedding together principals of
these races should be treated with a
life sentence in the penitentiary as the
mildest punishment to which he is en-
titled.
One would be surprised at the num-
Der of white women in this city who
have married black men. In one glar-
ing instance the white woman raised a
family of white children and then di-
vorced her white husband only to
marry one of the blacklist specimens of
the Ethiopian in Ottumwa. Her white
daughter followed her mothers exam
pie, and she, too, has a black hus-
band.
Up in Monroe county and the city OF
Buxton dozens of white women have
negro husbands and mulatto offspring.
1t is probably 50 all over the state. It
is the high crime Of the century and un-
til the sentimentalists are restored to
common SENSE this amalgamation of
the races will be advocated as q solver
for the race problem
OttNnwa is infested with q few of
these marriages resulting from the alb
sence Of statutes forbidding. but the
day is coming when the legislators of
Iowa will make the law so drastic that
the very presence Of a negro in COM
pany with a white woman will be cause
sufficient to send the black to hard la
Dor for an indeterminate sentence.
Otherwise encroachment OF the negro
will go on and on, and the institution
of marriage will be shorn of its bless
ings and be lowered to the brute pas
sion and to debased social conditions
| indescribable. !.

If committee comes housing about
her home intruding on its privacy and
prying into her respectable privacy she
ought to scald them.
1t Is a peculiar idea among many
people that the possession Of few

of all who manage to get along" The
fact that one person is poor doesn't
open the door to every Paul Pry with
an investigating spirit A great deal
of research" is carried on in the usual
spirit of a Summing party. The Gin
vestigators" probe the investigated
with stick or the point of an umbrella
and watch them squirm much as they
would Investigate" a tomato worm or
a nest of gartersnakes. And intelligent,
capable, decent poverty like that en-
joyed by the schoolteachers is legit-
imately angry over the poking.
Helpfulness, kindness, brotherhood is
charity. The average conception of
charity" belongs in the brass and
cymbal class No one ever refuses the
helping hand that stretches out from

need. If the investigators" of school,
teachers, in New York and elsewhere
want to get in on the ground floor of
true charity and christian sociology let
them start movement to pay an I'M
derpaid class decent living wages, not
an investigation calculated to find how
little a teacher may exist upon and ar
range to keep her alive on that basis.
And above all things let US remember
that privacy has sanctity of its own
and that the nose is a breathing mem

THREE MONTHS OFF.
Newton Lournall


This the time of year when all the
girls envy their friends who are school
teachers. Probably the latter part of
May, just as school closes, IS the most
delightful time of the whole year to
the school misunderstanding on three
months of rest and solid comfort, free
from care ard work. She has run the
race for nine months and now comes
the prize that has been set before her.
Every teacher has plan for her
summer vacation Some are expect
ing to take long trips, some will just
stay at home, and maybe some will
work at other things during the three
months Whatever they do it will be a
change and will serve as rest from
the strenuous work of teaching
While the teachers are spending
their vacations in different ways, there
are hundreds Of children just in our
own little town who have been let loose
for three long months without even a
day Of school. Some of them, indeed
nearly all of them, are jubilant over
the fact. Probably great many of
the boys and girls are planning to
spend at least part of the time with
relatives or friends in the country.
Whatever the teachers and pupils
are planning to do during the sum-
mer the rest of us wish them pleas
ant, restful vacation, and that they
will return again in the fall with re-
neWed zeal and ambitions.
