MO TAX ON COFFEE.

Mention was made some time ago of
the fact that the Brazilian government
had been behind an attempt to corner
the coffee crop down there and that
bonds to the amount of many millions
had been issued to help the scheme
along. AS a result of the manipula-
ton there are 1,544, 400, 600 pounds of
coffee in cold storage awaiting pur-
chasers. The proposition to put a tax
of 5 cents per pound on coffee in this
country is hailed with a shout of joy
in Brazil and If there IS any prospect
of congress passing a tariff bill with
such a provision in it the 100000 600
pounds of coffee now in storage would
be rushed to this country ahead of the
imposition of the tax and the Brazilian
government would be able to collect
something like s75,0O0, 900 from the con-
sumers in the United States, which
would be clear profit.
Under the circumstances the ways
and means committee will likely look
ND some other means of raising the
necessary revenue and allow the poor
mans breakfast table to escape so far
as coffee is concerned. It would be a
glorious opportunity, however, for an
American syndicate to do business.

arisen and do daily arise by the
practice Of stockjobbing. whereby
many Of his majesty's good subjects
have been and are diverted from pur-
suing their lawful trade and avocations
to the utter ruin of themselves and
their families, to the great discourage
ment Of industry, and to the manifest
detriment Of trade and commerce" etc.
etc, and it was therefore enacted that
all contracts and agreements Whereby
premium was paid for the privilege
Of delivering, receiving or accepting
any articles Of value or securities
whatever and ali puts and refusais re-
lating to the present OF future price
should be declared void" and that the
money due on them could not be col
lected by the maker Of the wager"
This act remained on the statute
books of Great Britain until it was re-
pealed in 1860, and was in force in the
American colonies until after the revo-
luton. It was repealed by the legis-
lature Of New York in 1912, and a sub
stitute enacted which specifically de-
clared that all contracts for future de-
livery Of shares of banks or companies
or any other securities were void, and
providing that the loser could recover
his money by bringing suit in the
proper court The law was never en-
forced.
The New York stock exchange was
organized in 1917, and the members
thereof have heen a law unto them
selves ever since. It IS not probs bic
that Governor Hughes or the state leg
islature will attempt any drastic meas
uras of reform.

POSTAL CARDS.

The wonders of the world are consid-
erablv more than eight in number now
adays. and the ancients would stand in
open-mouthed astonishment could they
but see and hear some of the recent
wonderful inventions of mankind. The
talking postal card is one of the latest
wonders. It is the invention of a
French engineer, and simple enough
when explained.
The person wishing to send talk
ing postal card enters booth and
talks into a machine that records the
words on the specially prepared postal
card. When the card is received a
hundred OF a thousand miles away, the
recipient takes it to the nearest postal
booth and inserts il in machine
which talks the message il contains.
The exact voice of the sender is heard
and the record on the postal card IS
indestructible. The card is sure to be
come popular with lovers the world
over and might be used to great adj
vantage by wives who wish TO inform
the absent husband OF a few things
and desire to properly emphasize their
language In this respect such means
Of communication are far ahead of the
wireless system. and leave the tele-
graph and ordinary mail facilities a
long distance in the rear.

A CURE FOR HEART TRoUsLE.
(Rochester Herald)


George Christie, nephew of the noted
minstrel man, and himself a well known
composer, says that he never was sorry
but once that he helped write a song.
When Bert Fitzgibbon came to him with
the lyric of a song called You Can't Stop
Your Heart from Beating" young Chris
tie most enthusiastically set to work to
put music to it, but now he's sorry. 1t
happened this way-Christie occupied the
adjoining room to a newly married couple
who were very much in love.
The husband had learned Christies song
and all day long he sang it to his br1de.
In the morning before breakfast his accor-
dion plated tenor voice warbled You
Can't Stop Your Heart from Beating for
the Girl You Love" After lunch it was
the same and as good night solo he rem
dered it.
The last straw was added to the camel S
back when the bride learned the song and
the love struck couple sang the song in
barber shop harmony. This was too much
for Christie and ne left the hotel, sorry
that he had ever written the song.
Passing a neighbOring drug store, an
idea struck him, and he entered and pur-
chased a bottle of carbolic acid Wrap
ping it up in a neat package he presented
it through the bellboy to the honeymoon
ers with note that simply read:

OUR MARKET ABROAD.

Andrew Carnegie, not content with
advocating the abolition of the duty
on iron ore and steel and the scaling
down of the tariff schedules in general,
has submitted TO an interview, in
which he declares that the time is close
at hand when the greater part of the
raw materials now forming the bulk
of the exports OF this country will be
used at home and their place in ex-
port trade taken by manufactured ar
ticles.
Under the present system the home
market has been MIXED to the full
est extent and tire surplus exported by
the manufacturers, but Mr.. Carnegie,
after long years of experience in ae-
tive business. during which he piled up
hundreds of millions, sees clearly that
we must find markets abroad or the
wheels of industry will remain clogged.
There is sufficient evidence at hand to
prove that the manufacturers of the
United States can and do successfully
compete with the manufacturers
abroad, and Mr.. Carnegie truthfully
says that proper attention has not been
given to the export trade, and he adj
vises the manufacturers to look Sc
riously in that direction.
The home market would be strength
ened by such action and countless
thousands of workmen now out of en-
ployment would be enabled to make a
living for themselves and families. The
home market is a good thing, but it
has been worked to the limit and the
surest way out of the present business
depression is to lower the prices in the
United States to a fair basis and Invade
the markets of the world with our pro-
ducts.

political events in Kansas during the
last thirty years.
At various times the country has
been startled by apparitions in one or
the other branches of congress from
Kansas. the much bewhiskered PETER
and 'Sockless Jerry Simpson being
bright and shining examples. But
while Populism was first made famous
along the banks of the Kaw, the Ar

other streams. the Republican party
furnished the most noted wiTepuliers
and political tricksters in the west, and
the Copeland MOTEL was their headquar

sion. and they literally swarmed there
IN the years when a senator was to be
elected.
Times have changed in Kansas, and
the people have changed with them.
The practice of riding on railway
passes is outlawed and the United
States senator was chosen at a prima
rs election last fall, so no chance re-
mains for trading votes for the toga 20

ton OF Ex-Governor Click, have no
more than local reputation. Click is
the only Democrat who ever occupied
the gubernatorial chair in Kansas, and
was elected during the first revolt
against the prohibition law, which was
finally firmly fastened on the state.
1t is remarkable that the only person

really was no further use for the Cope

mourning the departed glory of former
years, concluded to go up in smoke at
the dawn Of the new era IN Kansas.
