voR DUSENBURY BILL.

Members of the De troit Real Els
tate board are deeply interested In
the Dusenbury mortgage tax bill,
which the house taxation committee
now has under consideration in Lans-
ing, but will object TO Its passage III
its present form. The bill, in It's pres
ent form, provides for SPECIFIC tax
OF one-half of one per cent, payable
yearly. The idea of a specific tax ap-
peals to the Detroit real estate men rs
the proper thing, but ii is the yearly
payment they object to, and an effort
will probably be made to have this
feature of the proposed law cut out
They contend that the tax should be
paid but once, and then at the time
the mortgage Is recorded.
IF a specific tax, payable at inc
time OF recording. were TO be put on
the revenue would be ample and
would be far in excess OF that re
ceived under the present law, SAID

A first qualincation for any great ana enduring service of the world is a keen sense of justice. Paul was a protagontst of Christianity. but he was nrst or all a champion of the truth. He cared more for honor and right than Tor any cause. Many representa- lives of organized interests look out Tor these flrst, even though justice be sacrified. There Is a tonic value in study of Paul's course as a witness to the truth Note this in his inter- views with the Jews in his hired house in Rome.
 The last record we have of this dauntiess soul portrays him "teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness," He seems to have had solicitude less aught should interfere with his free utter ance. he entreated his friends at Ephesus to pray that he might speak boldly to the end. That prayer was granted. We know that, although the Book of the Acts ends here, Paul was delivered out of the mouth of the lion for this time: that he resumed his mis- sionary labors. and that in fresh out break against the Christians under Nero he was imprisoned again, and suffered martyrdom. The dungeon in which he was confined is shown to this day. His own thought. as the end drew near. is recorded in his last writ ing, the second letter to his young friend Timothy. For am already be- ing poured out as drink offering, and the time of my departure is come. I have fought the good fight, have fin- ished the course. have kept the faith"

! M 0n abingdon. Nov. 13--Secretary or Ms Treasury Macveagh has come out w{fh the flat statement that not only wflJ he probe to the bottom the scan tal growing out of the frauas coH- mitted m the New York customs house by the so-calied sugar trust and It's nxanfs. but he proposed to renovate the entire service.
 He declares he will shoulder all the responsibility for such campaign. and that the investigation Will pc thorough and vigorous.
 1t has developed also that the De- partment of Justice is working in coniunction with the Treasury Depart ment. Attorney General Wickersham has been gathering evidence through his corps of special agents and the ev- idence Is being worked up by the legal expert3.
 Secretary Macveagh indicates that he is going further than merely seek inE to discover and punish those who have been guilty In past of wrongdo- tng It Is understood to be his pur- poSe to re-organize the force of In spectors who kept close check on the general force in past years. These in- nDectors will be recruited with tried and trusted men. familiar with the workings of the customs house and they will be shifted from place to place.
 The report sent broadcast that the sugar trust actually owes the govern ment sa0,00o. 900 instead of $2.13s.000 in unpaid duties and which, it paid un- der duress, the treasury officials de- clare Is absurd. The same officials point out that most careful examin- afion of the books of the New York customs house was made and that ev- cry cent due the government was ac. counted for.

Hobo Conce0Ls Himself
 on Presidential Train

Washington, Nov. 13.--A mea Sdering hobo" seeking shelter from a ticket hunting conductor on board the Fed eral Express, bound from Boston to Washington last night, wandered hap lessly into President Taft's private car, the Mayfower, locked himself in the kitchen and created the greatest ex- citement of all the Presidents travels.
 Jimmie" Sloan. of the secret sesvice, was given the rare opportunity of dis tinguishing himself by making real arrest, while Will Anderson and Ed Letcher, the two Presidential porters of the Pullman service, became real he- roes.
 The incident occurred just outside of Bridgeport, Conn, and 1t was to the au- thorities of that town that the hobo was delivered by the Intrepid Sloan.
 The Presidents car was switched on- to the Federal Express at New Haven shortly after midnight. Two local day coaches had been placed on the ex- press ahead of the Presidents car and 1t was from one of these that the hobo" found his way into the front end of the Mayhower.
 Letcher, who discovered the hobo" crouched in a corneE of the kitchen, almost turned white, but in another minute he had bounced on the wander CT, called for Anderson. who in turn. called for Jimmie" Sloan.

THE IDLE sINGERs.

Call us the idle singers who sit by the
 road and dream. Stunning ourselves in the weather and
 winding a web of gleam: Call ns the -producers--our fingers
 are on the loom Of silver cities of morning and golden
 valleys of bloom: We sail on a painted ocean with shai-
 lops of silver sails. Or sit on hillside telling our own
 selves fairy tales. Call us the idle singers, who wake and
 are worn in a day. Dreaming our dream of clover in the
 hyacinth porches of May: Dwellers in no mans temple. delivers
 in no mans feet. Call us the necromaucers who dine on
 the honey meat: We swing us the golden hammers and
 the orifiamme anvfls are ours. That the pageants may pass in music
 and the Princess of Love wear
 flowers. Call us the idle singers. with never a
 hand on plough, Dreaming the dream of beauty and
 weaving the whence and how: Call us the roadside children---oh.
 whether we sail or sleep We come back bringing the kingdoms
 of song from the vasty deep: Sunlight woven of fancy. laughter in
 golden bales. We bear to the worn world waiting to
 hark to our fairy tales. Call us the Idle singers; whether we
 toll or sing: The looms of our silver music are
 weaving the web of spring; The thunder of many cities. the roar
 of the mills Is heard. But we are the magic-workers who ut-
 ter the final word; Dreaming the dream of beauty, or
 sailing the silver seas, Give us who fear the thunder the ma-
 king of melodies! --Folger Mckinney. in Baltimore Sun.

 Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The amendment Is fast becoming the sick man" Of Alabama.
 It begins to appear that practically every county in the State will beat it to earth.
 It's fathers are disclaiming the pro- geny. It's nurses are frantic with fear and despair. It's friends are begin ming to draw within themselves.
 Few who are known amenders are chesty at this time.
 They have seen the writing on the wall, and are preparing to accept with grace that which is inevitable.
 To the student of politics 1t became evident some days ago that the amend ment was doomed. Its leaders then de- termined to try the unusual, the des- perate.
 Then became the slush fund flake" !" which became a boomerang.
 Then followed the statement of Gov ernor Comer--that which declared the chief executive separate and distinct
 Just what next will follow is a mat ter of speculation. Some have 1t that Judge Weakley will put away political ambition and leave the gubernatoria1 race open to Walter Seed and Hugh S. D. Mallory.
 As to what the result of such a pro- cedure would be there is no doubt. Nothing. at this time, can save the amendment.
 Leaders are Disheartened.
 The leaders in the movement to vim dicate the administration of Governor Conner, to continue that administration another four years. and to put into the Constitution a little piece of dynamite which would keep Alabama in an up- roar for a countless number of years, appear exceedingly disheartened. There is little buoyancy in their step. There is little happiness in their expression.
 For them there Is no doubt but that things are turning upside down.
 The people of Alabama have dared to resist the movement to put the in the Constitution. They have dared to resist the bull whip Of the Rev. Brooks Lawrence.
