THE SIGNS THAT COUNT.

It may have been that the signs OF
improvement in the business WorId
which manifested themselves early IN
the year did not result in the indus
trial revival predicted and hoped for;
but an actual improvement is 1oW
seen in manufacturing centers, and
there is reason to believe that this i'm
provement will continue. While soioe
branch 90 of business will walt on a
settlement of the tariff, it is evident
that in many lines, especially in the
building trades, there is decided activ-
ity, and very son, when the tariff
legislation shall have been thoroughly
discounted, the activity will be even
more marked.
The tone of the stock market is
stronger now than it has been for
months past, and active trading in
stocks is usually an unfailing sign of
activity in general business through
out the country. In order to have any
thing like sustained prosperity, how
ever, good crops will be needed. But
with abundant harvests the railroads
will not be slow in placing orders for
rails and new equipment on large
scale. All the wheels of industry from
one end of the country to the other
will turn; commerce will thrive, and
the cry of hard times will no longer
be heard.

WHERE THE TAX BELONGS.

THE issue in Federal taxation is be-
coming pretty closely defined. The
one side proposes to tax the masses,
while the other side proposes to tax
the colossal accumulations of wealth.
The former are led at present by Sena-
tor Aldrich, who proposes first to see
how much revenue can be raised by
no Inheritance tax, no income tax, no
stamp tax, no special tax, because the
class he represents would have to pay
a good share of such taxes.
Wayne MacVeagh, who was Presi-
dent Garfeld's Attorney-General,
speaks for the other side when he
says that ''if new taxes must be i'm
posed, why should the colossal in
comes and the colossal accumuiations
of the possesors of what Mr.. Carnegie
himself calls surplus wealth continue
to be exempt from proper taxation %
The New York World accepts the is
sue when it declares, There should
be a constitutional Federal income
tax. 1t should be graduated; it
should have liberal exemption limit
it should discriminate between earned
and investment income. Both these
taxes should be heavy enough to afford
substantial relief to poor men from
taxed food, taxed clothing, taxed shell
ter, taxed necessaries of life." This is
the issue. 1t is an issue raised in the
Democratic platform, and it is an issue
that i'll stay before the people until
wealth is taxed instead of poverty.

UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
WATCH CONTEST CLOSELY

Port Cortez, Spanish Honduras
Oct. 2S.-(Via New Orleans, Nov. 81
1t is reported here that President
Davila of Honduras has received sew
eral cable messages at Tegucigalpa
from the state department at Wash
ington informing him that the United
States and Mexico are watching very
closely the course of the Honduran
government in connection with the
revolution in Nicaragua.
The gist of these cables is said to
he that the United States ana Mexico
expect Honduras to keep hands off.
The cables are said to have beer
received shortly after the recen'
meeting between Presidents Taft and
Diaz at lei Paso, Tex.
The Honduras government o~fficial'
say that the attitude of Honduras was
clearly stated in the Associated Press
dispatches from Port Corte2 under
date of October 81, when 1t was Off
cially announced that the tug Puertt
Perlas had been detained at Port
Cortez in order to conform with the
peace agreement made at Wash
ington.
They claim there was no demand
from the Zelaya government for the
seizure of this tug, but it was knowr
the mission of the tug was to bring
a supply of arms and ammunition
from Guatemala TO General Estrada
the leader of the revolutionists. They
say this version will form the basis o
n charge that Zelaya will make
against Guatemala in the interna
tional peace court at Cartagi.
How the Honduran officials, oh
serving such a strict attitude of neu
trality, are so well informed as t.
Zelaya's plans is a matter whicf
arouses curiosity. 1t is said further
that Zelaya will not await the out
come of hostilities before placing this
before the court.
This among Americans in this see
ton is taken as evidence that ZelaY
is losing courage in spite of his an
nouncements of successful engage
against the revolutionists

the process of education does not be-

1T is too late" In DR.. Sids' opinion
the to begin education is the

any recognition of his power to think.
Then is the time" he once said to
me, when we should start to train
him in the use of his faculties. He is
bound to use them anyway, and we
ought to see hat he learns how to use
them right. The longer we delay the

good of all our acquisitions. The ear

child, even as an infant, to observe
accurately, to analyZe and sythesize
and to make sound deductions. In n
word, teach him how to think COR
rectly.
AT the same time, keep alive with
in him the ~quickening power of Curl

his questions; give him the informa-

Sutton, w. Va, Nov. 3.-After an
exciting chase in which a negro was
killed, two negroes were captured in
a swamp near Gassaway tonight and
locked in Jail on charges of attacking
Mrs. Mary Lockhold, wife of a
wealthy farmer.
A large number of deputies armed
with rifles were placed on guard to
protect the negroes from a mob. The
farmers have declared they will be
lynched. 1t was feared the angry
white farmers would have their way
and hang the prisoners before morn

Charles Lewis, a negro, with the
two now in Jail, went to Lockholds
house and they tide him to a tree and
whipped him. Then, in sight of the
defenseless husband. the three at
