equals, he turned from the hollow
mockery of it all in thorough dis
gust and cast his lot with the lowly,
among whom he elected to dwell, and
became cobbler In connection with
the sedentary occupations of shoe
making and writing, he took up farm
ing, gaining for himself, from his call
ing, habits and dress, the beloved
title of the peasant prince" At
every opportunity he made poverty
his brother, necessity his master. He
held in contempt the ease and af-
fluence of the position in whose bene-
fits his fellowmen could not share.
He was unutterably oppressed by the
persecution and injustice which met
him on every hand, the hypocrisy of
Christianity, the venality of the bench,
the tyranny of the throne. His great
heart cried out against it all and with
almost sublime courage, he threw his
influence against the titled few in
favor of the enslaved masses.
No one who truly appreciates good
ness, humanity, liberty, self-sacrifice
will tire of dwelling on the greatness
of the unselfish life now closed to
its useful labors on earth Good, true
and generous to the last when he
passed to his final reward, not of him
shall it be said:
The evil that men do lives after
them;
The good is oft inferred with their
bones"
The great good that Tolstoi
wrought will live after him, precious

tons.

uNPRoFlTABLE EFFORT.

The business men of Houston are
becoming more and more convinced
that the Carnival is an incubus in
stead of a blessing to the city. All
concede that the liberality with which
Jewish merchants contribute to any
public enterprise in no small measure
assures it's success. 1t is no surprise
then, that they, along with others,
protest against the expenditure of
time, money and energy that results
in nothing more profitable than the
farce now closed under the title Of
the No-Tsu-Oh Carnival. Away with
few "snide" shows and parades!
Give Houston the advertising she de-
serves. Let us have full-fluedged
exposition that shall adequately dem
onstrate to all corners OF what a
glorious country this great city is the
center. Let pleasure and education
go hand in hand.

CLEAN "PoLoTIcs" NEEDED.

1t is needless to remark that there
is little room for improvement in the
platform recently outlined by Mr.. S.
Taliaferro, and which we have no
doubt will be carried fully into effect
to secure him as it's next mayor.
Every line of his statement breathes
a sincerity worth and dignity which
it would be difficult to assume were
they part and parcel of the man who
set the same forth.
The day is not far distant when
the people will awake to the sovereign
power vested within themselves and
exercise their rights for their own
benefit The first step towards this
very desirable end, and one which has
been awfully overlooked, will be

be filled by men of assured probity,
honor and efficiency. No other test
will stand. Another point of which
time and experience will prove the
sanity is that an official, once elected
and found desirable in every respect,
be retained and the community at
large spared the excitement, furry,
anxiety and disruption attendant on
too frequent and unnecessary cleo
lions. These at present tend to up
set business and in many instances
bring about changes that are detri-
mental instead of beneficial to the
peoples best interests.

(By Mrs. B. Lurie.]
ToLsToI is DEAD.

In benighted Russia there has
ceased beating the heart of the great
est man that the realm of the Gar
has yet produced. In the death of
this philosopher, writer and humani-
tartan, Tolstoi, the lower classes,
whether Jew or Gentle, have lost
powerful friend indeed All who have
the welfare of humanity at heart will
mourn the loss of this lover of his
kind.
Born of the aristocracy, his great
nature scorned the excess of priv
ileges the country conferred on his
class He had the misfortune to be-
long to the titled few" but this did
not keep his noble heart from feeling
the throb and pain of the enslaved
subjects of "the Little Father" his
imperial master, the Gar of all the
Russias. Early in life he availed him
self of all the educational and social
advantages at the command of scion
of an exalted noblemans family.
These advantages were many and
varied, but after running the gauntlet
of all that his life offered, to the
surprise of his family and social

The coming election, though six
months distant, is sure to be full of
intense interest from the fact that
so many issues of the most vital i'm
portance to Houston's future welfare
are at stake. Only with an exceed
ingly capable man at the helm may
the city hope to see these safely
brought to port In the coming, as
in the previous election, must the
people Of Houston see to it that they
secure the right man for the import
ant work ahead. 1t will be to no
mans credit to let his party" af-
filiations stand in the way of helping
to elect the best" man. AS Mr..
Taliaferro trenchantly remarks:
Politics and business will no more
mix than oil and water" but we wish
to amend that politics" in it's high
est sense is business" and "busi-
ness" of the most exalted character,
for it constitutes the unselfish direc-
ton of affairs for the people" by
honorable men entrusted with the
sacred duty "by the people for all the
people" The official failing in the
proper dlgcharge of the duties he
undertakes is as great miscreant as
the deserter in time of war.

LORD RoTHscHILD's SEVENTEEN
BIRTHDAY.

During this month London partici-
pated in the celebration of Lord
Rothschild's birthday. He has not
alone the esteem and respect of the
upper classes, but has not forfeited,
by virtue of his great wealth, the
love and admiration of the masses
His charities are legion and, as head
of the English branch of this great
house, he maintains, to it's fullest,
the old time reputation for probity
and integrity which have become as
synonymous of the name as it's
wealth. The members of the family
feel justly proud of the record that
shows no smirch on their escutcheon,
either in domestic or commercial life,
since the foundation of their great
fortune was laid by Myer Anschel
Rothschild, 1873 years ago,
Maxims of RothschiId.
The following eleven maxims formed
part of the will of MeyerAnselm Roth
schild, the founder of the great bank
ing house at Frankfort:
/. Seriously ponder over and
thoroughly examine any project to
which you intend to give your atten-
ton.
2. Reflect long time, then decide
very promptly.
3. Go ahead.
4. Endure annoyances patiently and
fight gravely against obstacles.
5. Never lie about business affair.
G. Pay your debts promptly.
7. Learn how to sacrifice money
when necessary.
8. Do not trust too much to luck.
8. Spend your time profitably
10. Do not pretend to be more i'm
portant than you really are.
H. Never become discouraged;
work zealously and you will surely

WHERE ANTI-sEMITIsM MISSED
THE MARK.

There is good story going the
rounds that William Loeb, formerly
Secretary to President Roosevelt and
at present Collector at the New York
Custom House, has been black balled
by the members Of the very exclusive
Union League Club of New oYrk be-
cause these "fashionables" are under
the impression that Mr. Loeb is
Jew. The name is very Jewish" but
the fact remains that Mr.. Loeb is a
Christian in good standing" and be-
longs to the German Lutheran
Church. Apropos to the above mis-
take we reprint, for the edification
of our readers, the following from
the Jewish Independent" of Cleve-
land
A goodznatured friend of mine, who
is not a Jew, but whose first name
happens to be David and who is a
subscriber of "The Jewish Independ-
ent," is in trouble. At least his
neighbors in the flat think he is and
he has a good time laughing about it.
David happens to live in flat in
which Jew couldn't break in with
a complete outfit of burglars tools.
He didn't know that until recently,
when an intimate friend in the flat
told him that some of his good neigh
bors in apartments of the same floor
have been busy numbering" into his
mailboX, and seeing the word Jew
ish' sticking out from the wrapper,
they concluded that he has been sail
ing under false colors.
"IIe is getting Jewish paper"
said one.
"And his name is David" added
the other.
Looks suspicious" chimed in the
third.

OF this amount s1S5,747.23 was paid

not an extension of time will be granted
before taxes become delinquent, al
though the city assessor has been COL
1ecting the penalties since March 2.
Mayor Sweeney, referring to the mat
ter, said this morning: Il cannot say
whether an extension will be granted
or not. 1t will be left to the discr2-
tioE of the council, even if a majority
of the taxpayers have paid up
I'VE know that some people borrow

know that others would have done so if
they were able to. However, the whole
matter will no doubt be taken up at

He Advocates Government
Aid in Reclaiming the
Swamp Lands.

New Orleans, La, March S.-"The
government can afford and is inclined
to cooperate with you in this import
ant undertaking, but so long as the
government feels that you are satisfied
with the slow process of building up
the resources OF Louisiana the public
men of Washington will also be salts
fed" said B. F. Yoakum, chairman OF
the st. Louis and San Francisco Rail
road company. Mr.. Yoakum was speak
ing of the necessity of building up the
south in an address before the New
Orleans board of trade.
Mr.. Yoakum said:
For almost a century our govern

the rich unused lands of the southern
states. while the British government
furnishes it's money and credit to aid
Egypt to reclaim waste lands in the
valley OF the Nile 5000 miles away.
To Reclaim LowIands.
THE low rich lands of the south
which have hitherto been regarded as
a matter of interest only to the south

of Importance to the whole country

settled districts where the price Of farm

own people are building up an empire
belonging to a foreign nation at the
expense of our own country.
Necessity for More Land.
"The necessity of more lands under
cultivation to produce more food and

Sentence.

S. r. Vaughan, charged with burglar
izing the hotel Alberta on san Fran
cisco street on the morning of February
Is, 1910, was sentenced to serve five
years in the penitentiary when he en-
tered a plea of guilty before a jury
in the S4th district court this morning.
B. Tom Smith, proprietor of the hotel,
testified that Vaughan and a companion
had broken into the hotel and a burglar
alarm in his room had awakened him
at 3 o'clock in the morning. He said
that he watched them and finally Sc
