LIKELY TO BE pEFrEp.

If the New York Commercial Is TAX
ing a correct view of the situation
with reference to the corporation tax.
most Of the little concerns are going
to report on time to save the danger
of penalties, and a greater part of the
large corporations are ready TO defy
the authorities, The Commercial
says: IF, for instance. a New York
corporation whose tax under the laws
would be $1,000, fails to make the re-
CURED return on or before next Tues
day. it will have $500 instead of $1,000
to pay some time between June l and
July 1 of this year; and, meantime.
it may be fined anywhere from $1,000
to $4,000 for such refusal, neglect or
failure. But when the matter OF pos
sible appeals from a court judgment
is considered in this connection, it
will readily be understood that a recu-
SAINT company could 'stave Off the
actual payment of a fine for many
weeks or months and that it would
have until June 80, anyway, in which
to pay its increased tax; and If the
law were meantime to be declared I'M
constitutional, all prosecutions and
collections under it would fall
For some companies the risk may
look too large to take; but there are
others'-and if reports are correct,
they are not few in number"

THEY SHOWED THEIR HANDS.

Secretary Knox took his drubbing
for the little note he sent out with
reference to the neutrality of the Man
churian railroads. but he is feeling well
over the excitement and disclosures in
consequence of it, and what was a
befogged situation is clear as crystal
today. 1t Is now pointed out that Sec
rotary Knox's note caused a display of
the true policy Japan is trying to
get as much in Manchuria as she can
by any means, whether Chinese rights
or treaty pledges give countenance or
not. Russian ambition is disclosed.
The hope of reconquering the territory
lost has not been given up. st. Pc
tersburs still beholds the necessity for
an open water harbor in eastern Asia
in order that Siberia may attain the
fullest development.
The administration is no longer in
he dark as to the eastern situation;
and being in the light it can the bet
ter direct every American interest in
the east and direct every interest along
the lines of least friction. Movements
which look absurd on their face are
often of the greatest value

BIG GAINS AND LITTLE FARMS.

Secretary Wilson is one of the most
practical men in the presidents Official
family and on his retirement this fall
it is questionable whether he will have
a genuine successor. He believes in
putting money out for the direct ben
eft of the people as well as for their
protection by Dreadnaughts and
force of 10000 reproducing fight
ing men. He wrote for Leslies Week
ly:
"a 40-acre farm Of irrigated land
will comfortably support family of
five. 1t costs $4,000 to make a r.
inch gun. The money that goes to
pay for this gun would reclaim 1.571
acres of land, providing homes for 1876
people. When all the guns on all the
battleships are shot one time, the gov
eminent blows in noise and smoke
$150,0O0. This would reclaim 1000
acres of land, giving homes to more
than 500 farmers and their families.
The money consumed in powder is lost
to all future. The farmer who buys
the reclaimed land must pay the gov
eminent back il ten years, SO it does
not cost the government anything to
build up the country by helping the
farmer. We should make more homes
and not so many fighting machines.
We have numberless instances where
the construction of railroad has adj
vanced the value of farm lands from
SO to $50 per acre. We also have
many instances where the improve
ment of the public roads has increased
farm values from SO to $50 per acre"
He thinks that the investment of
millions so that they will make mil
lions for the people is better than put
ting them where they make a. big
show and a big noise.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE COST OF LIVING.

When the various investigating COM
n1ittees appointed by congress and
state legislatures shall have finished
their tasks and duly reported their
findings, how much better off shall we
be, how much farther along on the
road to national economy and thrift
and to the proper oversight of trusts ?
Shall we be able to place responsible
ty for a situation that vexes US all up
on a certain group of men or Inter
ests'' or upon the tariff or upon other
legislation, or lack of it?
Well, time will tell, but meanwhile
people generally would better make up
their minds to pay the fiddler, and I
suspect most of US are more ready to
order our choice cuts and our dainty
fabrics than we are to pay for them

We prefer these comforts and even lux

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Suggestion.

Mr.. Editor: Reading in the paper to-
day that the First Baptist church will
burn their mort gage, and be out of
debt, which is a good thing, No church
ought to be dedicated to the Good Faith
err with a debt on it. And have been
thinking If they would not now make
the ground back of the church a flower
garden in place Of a dump place.
If they will. I'll give them a half doz-
en- hardy shrubs to put along the stone
wall. Make the place look like the City
Hall garden-a thing OF beauty and q
joy forever And we who have to drive
past it would enjoy looking at it, in
stead of looking at a heap of rubbish.

Cwritten for The Bulletin,


Last evening, we lighted on our
broad, stone hearth fire of driftwood.
The sweetest lady we know sent it to
us, with love-" and, lavish as love it,
self, we piled it high and higher, then
touched match to it, and orouching
down on the hearth rug with our
hands clasping our knees. we let our
faces burn in the varf-colored freight
and our hearts warm in its glow. In
evitably, it set us a-dreamfng of the
poets and we tried to recall which
among them had spoken in verse all
that we were feeling as we watched
blaze. For is it not the mission of
poets to sing what lesser folk cannot
even say? One of us thought of the
wrecks of ships. and drifting
Spars, uplifting
On the desolate, rainy seas"
and another of the storm winds
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides,"
and a third remembered how
loft died the words upon our lips.
AS suddenly from out the fire
Built of the wreck of stranded ships,
The flames would leap and then ex-
pire,
And. as their splendor flashed and
failed,
We thought of wrecks upon the
MAIN
OF ships dismasted, that were hailed
And sent no answer back again"
After a moment of silence some one
asked:
Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery!"
they only that
suffer sea change
Into something rich and strange"
Earlier in the evening, we three had
been talking together somewhat seri-
ously. One of us seemed diSheartened,
the other two frankly acknowledged
they felt duh Perhaps our talk had
been unnecessarily grave. 1t had be-
gun with speaking of our own ups and
downs, our problems and perplexities,
our own struggle for existence. and
this had led on, naturally enough, to
consideration of the strange inequaH-
ties of human experiences and tho
self-seeIzing.
Verify, the wicked spreadeth like a
green bay tree quoted our sister
friend, laziiy. But the word was caught
up by the man, who went on to say
that he was by nothing more deeply
impressed than by the length Of time
it takes to work off the consequences
of one bad action. or even of a single
unintentional mistake. mo truer word
was ever spoken" he cried, than that
Nothing is ever settled until it is set
tied right Moreover, everything must
eventually be settled right. 1t is bound
to be, by the eternal laws of right and
justice and truth triumphant" But
what seems hard to bear, is, we agreed,
that II takes so long for a wrong to
right itself. so long for the eternal law
to work its ends, a lifetime often, and
oftentirnes more than the span of one
life, even, it may be, unto the third and
fourth generation. Throughout our
own little day the wrong doing that
Expresses US goes on and the wrong
doors seem to flourish, connplacently
hugging themselves in self-righteous-
ness and idle luxury and selfish greed.

er or not your mother died that you

In the larger arena of national life
we find that this principle holds true.
If the backward and benishted people
