In an Item we had In TINS paper Two
weeks ago we said we were surprised
and amused that some of our good citi.
Zens whom we met at Manning, should
hasten to explain their presence in our
neighbor town. After questioning our
item, Bro. Mantz of the Monitor pro-
tests as follows: Brother Ross, the town
isn't as bad as some would have it. In
fact at times we have seen Audubon

standing before the bar here imbibing
that which they in their own town and
own church fiercely condemn. A great
many people thus in the eyes of the
world are hypocrits. Manning welcomes
visits from transients but despises the
drunk, and the name she has comes not
from her citizens, but those from neigh
boring towns who do not know when
they have enough.

EnaIand,s Sum in Arithmetic.

Everybody in England is figuring The problem is one of mathematics Expressing their currency in American money, it may be stated thus: If s. 220,00O persons owning 5.000.O0O,OOO and working to earn their living pay the remaining 680,000 persons to pay who have s60,000.0O0,000? They are actually paying about $l9O,00O,OUO. Putting 1t roughly. the far more nu- merous poorer classes are annually assessed 5 per cent. on their property to provide funds for carrying on the government. The rich are assessed less than one-third of 1 per cent. on their possessions. Moreover, the taxes col lected from the working classes are mainly paid out of their earnings The taxes of the rich are paid out of their incomes, and of these a large portion comes from rents paid to landlords by the working classes. Now the house of lords is a house of landlords Its members hold titles to the greater part people get through figuring and have solved their problem, they will know whether the lords have the right to hold the land wholly for their own uses, whether they and those in their rank are paying their fair share of the taxes whether it justly belongs to them to have the final word on the amount of the taxes to be raised and the pro- portion which they themselves shall pay. The people may or may not have figured out the answer to- their prob lem before the elections for a new par liament this month. If they shall have found the correct answer, the house of lords will be differently constituted. with better defined functions, in com ing years. If the work shall remain undone, they will have to return to school again.-The Congregationalist.

Severe Criticism Of President Taft By Representative Adar of Indiana for Alleged Extrava
 gance of the Executive Department

Washington, Jan. 4.-Had President Taft's daughter and son, Helen and Robert remained in the house gallery q few minutes longer today they would have heard their father roundly criti- ciSed by Representative Adafr of Indi- ana for alleged extravaganza of the ex- ecutive department.
 Salary Should Not Have Been ln-
 creased.
 MT. Adair said the salary should not have been increased to $75,000 a year, adding that a president with practically no expense, who could not save from an income of $50,000 a year sufficient sum to live on in ease the balance of his life, in my judgment does not have sufficient business capacity to direct the affairs of this great nation. Too Great Allowance for Vehicles, Etc. Attacking the presidents allowance of $35,000 for vehicles, stables, etc, MT. Adair argued that this was S30,000 too much, and he asserted that one third of the $9,00o allowance for care of the nish the president with all the flowers he can possibly use"
 White House Appropriations Should Be
 Reduced.
 Without depriving the president of any of the comforts or luxuries which properly belong to the White House, MT. Adair said the appropriations of
 
 $329.420 last year, could be reduced at least $75,00O per year.
 MT. Adair declared that appropria- tions for all purposes could te reduced at least S100.000 year without impair ing any part of the government ser vice. "Extraya gance and waste perme- ate everywhere through the federal service,' he said, amid democatic ap- plause, land congress has been voting away the peoples money until we have reached a point where the revenues are not sufficient to meet our enormous ex- pendftures.'

government employees, MT. Adair said the departments in Washington were crowded with incompetents, and if they had failed to lay aside part of their earnings for Q rainy day the failure was. due to no fault of the govern nent.
 Characterizing the government de- tective service as the dumping ground for those who had rendered political service" MT. Adair said that outside of the benefits derived from the work of the meat and pure food inspectors, the $7.126, GOO appropriated for that ser vice last year had been wasted
 Army and Navy Extravasance.
 There is more extravagance in the army and navy than in any other de- partments of the government" said Mr. Adair. Tt is enough to bankrupt any government in the world to spend $23S. .132, ,69s each year for the mainte- nance of it's army and navy, and that, too, in time of peace"

The City Dock
attend.

Since the recent additions to the City Dock, the business of that institu- ton is increasing rapidly with every reason to hope that the future revenues will more than justify the outlay.
 Daring the month of August, four boats made total of seven landings at the dock; bringing 79 tons of coal and 1. I28 tons of merchandise; aud taking l6 tons of merchandise. The wharfage, dockage aud profit on coal amounted to S173.25. The expense, for longshor- ing slO, salary of wharfinger, 26 days at 8, Sz8.O0. Total expense S8S.O0.
 During the month Of September, ten boats made a total of eighteen landings leaving 235 Is tons of merchandise and taking 9 tons. The receipts for wharf age and dockage-no coal sold-were SIS5.75. Expenses, longshoring S12.25; salary of wharfnger 281a days, S95.5O. Total expenses S9775. Net returns for two months, S173.25.
 The steamship Northlaud landed 70 tons of Ladysmith coal at the dock Saturday night. 800 tons more of this splendid coal has been ordered and should arrive within the week. The plan of the new bunkers-dumping the coal through large openings in the roof without the intervention of hoppers and cars-works fine, and saves ex- pense.

TREADWELL TOPICS

The Treadwell Club, last night, pre- sented brilliant scene, when the Foundrymeu entertained at their Fifth Annual Ball. The ball room was beau tifuIly decorated in the Foundry colors blue and gold. On the stage in large letters, also of blue aud gold, hung the word "Foundry," which was a guaran- tee of general hospitality. Wasterlain's four.piec orchestra gave good music, and the floor, which was in perfect con- dition, was crowded with merry danc- CTS till an early hour this morning. Many pretty costumes were noticed among the ladies. At midnight dainty refreshments were served by the com mittee consisting of Fouudrymen, who are to be congratulated on giving such a splendid affair
 The Foundrymen wish to thank the many friends who so generously dona- ted to their refreshments, and to Mir. Laffy, who saperintended the decora tions, which were the finest ever seen on Douglas Island, and, also, to George Stephens and Alex Graham, who served the punch throughout the evening. They were all Germans.
 A very prominent young musical gentleman of Treadwell has had the idea for a long time of taking unto him. self a wife, and, in conversation with a young Scotchman from Glasgow, en- tered into an agreement with him to get him Scotch bride. The Scotty wrote to the old country, and the pic tures of three lovely looking young ladies were sent out to him on stamp photo, which was given to the young musical gentleman to choose from. He put it in his pocket, and, being in the f ice cream parlor in Douglas, he dropped it on the floor, where it was found the next morning by the sweeper. The poor fellow felt so bad about losing the picture that his friends had to persuade the finder to give it back to him, so that he would be able to continue his work. He evidently has set his mind on having one of the three young lad ies. He feels so elated these days that almost all he can do is to whistle that popular air, "Has anyone here seen Kelly2"

School Notes
Recene Miller, Reporter.

Members of the German class have been heard to mutter, over and over, shot air" and Afnger dry" and other strange, sissing and sputtering sounds until the freshmen fear that something fiery. awaits them in junior year. How ever, the initiated say it is all right.
 The Third year is reading Chaucer's Prologue, while the Second year is mak- ing the acquaintance of Sir Roger De Coverly.
 The Eighth grade held meeting Monday afternoon and elected the fol- lowing class officers:
 John Laughlin .......,...,. President Arthur Garn..,,...........,. Secretary Edith Jackson ......,.......I Treasurer
 The Eighth grade has now fourteen pupils and will be the largest class that has graduated from the grammar into the Douglas High.
 Every seat in Miss Werners roem is filled, which means thirty.siX pupils.
 The pupils are glad to see the work progressing on the play ground and patiently wait for it's completion.
 The Gastineaux society meets Friday afternoon at two o'clock. All interest ed visitors will be welcomed.
