wipe out the s10o,0O0,0OO deficit an

the states. These taxes Were to be
raised by an extended inheritance tax,
which would fall on the 1and-owning
class, by new methods of excise duties
on spirits wines, beer and tobacco; by
taxes on electricity, gas, advertisements,
real estate transfers. checks and fire
insurance policies. All of these taxes
fell most heavily upon the wealthy and
middle classes.
The result was that the reichstag re-
fused to pass the bill and the imperial
chancellor practically was forced to re-
sign his office. The Conservative and
Clerical parties combined in the reich
stag and passed a bill of their own
making, which is expected to provide

HIS ESCAPE FROM OMDURMAN

The career of Sir Rudolf Carl Slatin
Pasha, the remarkable soldier and
British inspector general of the Sudan,
who recently entertained Colonel The
odore Roosevelt and his party at Khar-
tum, has been full of daring and ad-
venture.
He was born in Austria in 1857 and
educated in Vienna. Fired with de-
sire to travel and wishing to take part
in the exploration Of Africa, Slatin first
went to the Sudan in 1876. After a
short stay he returned to Austria to
complete his military service, and 1t
was not until two years later that he
returned to the Sudan, where he was
appointed to a high post under Gener'
al Gordon. He conducted successful
campaign against pretender to the
Darfur throne and was made governor
general of the province by the khedive.
Then the wave Of mahdism swept the

Senator Burrows Famous Speech or
Reed Smoot

Reed Smoot.
During the course of his long serv.
Ice In the two houses o< congress Sen
ator Burrows Dad made many famous
speeches, speeches which have been
used in Republican campaigns as ex-
hibiting the best thought on the sub
tects discussed
Probably one IF his greatest speech
es was made on Feb. 20, 1907, against
the seating OF Reed Smoot in the
United States senate. Senator Bur-
rows saidk
Some criticism has been passed
upon the women OF this country be
cause they have ventured to exercise
the right OF petition guaranteed to
every American citizen, of whatever
sex. in which they have implored the
senate to realize the danger Of ad-
hitting to it's membership an apostle
OF this oligarchy, and to guard, by
every constitutional means, against
Its encroachment.
1T is not true that they have Pc
titioned that Mr.. Smoot shall be ex.
PEELED because he Is a polygamist.
They have petitioned that he be ex-
PEELED or rejected because he Is the
representative Of an organization
which, continues, in defiance of al
law, human and divine, to plot against
the welfare of society and the sanctity
of the home.
81 know the members Of this senate
too well to be persuaded that such ap-
peals will swerve any senator fror
his just conception of duty, but such
petitions may be servicable in direct
ing attention to the Importance OF the
higher issue and graver question and
restrain us from being influenced by
any personal or political considera-
ton. That the women Of the whole
country should feel a keen interest in
this matter is but natural, for they
stand at the portals OF every home,
It's guardian and defender, and we
will do well to remember in our
places Of pride and power that
Yelled thought it be, than parliament
or king.
"If Senator Smoot, under all these
circumstances, with his confessed con.
nection with this criminal organiza-
ton, is permitted to retain his mem.
bership in this body, then when he at.
tends the next conference of his as.
sociates he can not only raise his
hand and voice to sustain Joseph r
Smith and his confreres in crime, but
he can convey to them the comfort
ing assurance that the senate of the
United States has, by recorded vote,
approved and sustained the promoters
and defenders of this un-American,
un-Christian, and unholy order. Let
us hope that no such humiliation will
come to the republic"

in every movement. says Professor At

welfare. In large measure it brought
about the organization of the College
of Agriculture as one of the colleges
of the university. Every one of the

object the promotion of some special
field of agriculture owes much to the
