CAN NOT TAX POLICY LOANS
New Orleans Loses Cese Against
New York Life Co.

Washington. - That the so-called
policy loans" or premium line note
loans" of insurance companies are not
liable to local taxation was decided
Monday by the Supreme Court of the
United States. The question came up
in the case of the parish of Orleans
and the city of New Orleans against
the New York Life Insurance Company.
The local tax authorities levied a tax
on the agreements between insurance
companies and their policyholders, un-
der which the companies advanced to
their holders the reserve value of their
policies. In the case of the New York
Life Insurance Company it was sought
to tax agreements that totaled $56s, 800.
The company brought the suit in the
United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana to enioin
the collection of the tax. That court
held that the policy loans were not loans
in the ordinary sense of the term, but
rather partial and anticipated settle
ments by the company of its ultimate
liability under the policies to its policy
holders.

New Orleans, lathe Textile Mills
Corporation, capitalized at $5,ooO,ooo,
and which owns and operates the cotton
mills at Wesson, Miss, and the big Ma
ginnis and Lane mills in New Orleans,
was placed in the hands Of receivers
Monday in the Federal court on the pc
tition of the General Electric Company
OF New York, which has s. claim of ST.
497.O5. The allegations in the petition
are that the concern has mortgages OF
its properties in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, has a floating debt of $4,000 and
will not be able to meet the March divi-
dends on it's bonds. That the concern
has been in financial difficulty for two
months, for lack of working capital, the
~stringency of the money, the low price
of manufactured goods, and the fuctu-
ating price of raw cotton have contribu-
ted to the predicament.

TACK THIS UP

Prescription That Breaks Up the Worst
Cold in a Day.
Every winter this prescription is pub
lished here and thousands have been
benefited by it. Get two ounces of
Glycerine and half an ounce of Con-
centrated Pine compound. Then get
half a pint of good whiskey and put
the other two ingredients into it. Take
a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful of this
mixture after each meal and at bed
time. Shake the bottle well each time"
But be sure to get only the genuine
Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce
bottle M in a tin screw-top case.
Any druggist has it on hand or will
quickly get it from the wholesale
house. Many other pine extracts are
impure and cause nausea.

Marriage.

A game of chance in which the
chances are about even. The man
leads at first, but after leaving the al
tar he usually follows breathlessly in
his wife's trail. The rules are very
confusing. If a masked player holds
o up some night at the end of a long
gun, it is called robbery, and entities
o to telephone the police, but if your
wife holds you up for a much larger
amount the next morning at the end of
a long hug, it is termed diplomacy, and
counts in her favor. In this, as in
other games of life, wives are usually
allowed more privileges than other
outlaWs.-Judge.

Weak SPOT in His Defense,

A religious worker was visiting a
southern ~penitentiary, when n pris-
oner in some way took his fancy. This
prisoner was a negro. who evinced a
religious fervor as deep as it was
gratifying to the caller.
"Of what were you accused?" the
prisoner was asked.

Mabel" called her father, outside
her bedroom door. There was n % a
swer, SO he called again. Still no re
ply. He pushed open the door, which
was not completely shut, and reach
ing for the button, turned on the lights.
Then he saw Mabel. She was kneel-
ing at the side of her bed in her night
gown, in the attitude of prayer-the
attitude, that is, as to kneeling. But
she had raised her head at the inter
ruption and paused in her devotions
to blaze at him with a face flushed
with Impotence.
Gee whiz, daddy! Can't a woman
say her prayers?"
Then she bowed her head again,
piously, and daddy, properly rebuked,
slipped noiselessly away.

LAW is ABOVE GOVERNMENT
Senators Not Too Exalted to Be Sued,
Says Justice Wright.

dyS OOStAC0
Observation-Disclosures Wright, in the
Supreme Court of the District of Col
umbia, Monday decided that the court
acted entirely within it's authority
when it issued the writ of mandamus
ordering the joint committee on print
ing of Congress to show cause why 1t
should not consider the bid of the Val
ley Paper Company of Holyoke, Mass.
In a decision which he took w hours
to read, Justice Wright declared that
to have refused to issue the mandamus
because some of the persons u oceu-
pied the exalted position of senator's
would have been to betray the law.
No man in this country is so high that
he is higher than the law declared JUS
tice Wright. Even the government of
the United States is less than the law.
What is there in the exalted position
of a senator which prevents any citizen
from laying what he believes to be an
injury before the bar of justice?"
Whether the senators appear in court
at this stage of the proceedings the JUS
tice declared is immaterial. .
The jurisdiction of the court, Justice
Wright declared, was generally recog-
nized, commonly understood and long
exercised, having been conferred by
various acts of Congress. Referring to
the absence of the senators who de-
clined to appear in court or be repre-
scented, the court said:
The progress of the affairs of JUS
tice in such cases is neither to be avoid
ed nor INSTRUCTED by the absence of re-
sp%ondents, nor does any part of it's ad-
ministration depend upon their pres
