FROM OTHER PENS

The distress of the British lords al
the inlminence of their abolition as a
hereditary body is less great than is
their chagrin over the proposed dupli-
cation of their numbers. To lose their
governmental authority is unfortunate
but to lose the prestige of exclusive

intrinsic merit.
Where there are but a dozen generals
in the British army the title general
is priced honor. But where there are
200 generals, as in the Venezuelan army,
the title deDreciates. It becomes a drug
on the market, like the title, colonel,
in Kentucky, or judge, in Nebraska.
To break down the splendid exclusive

age Is to striE a terrible blow. For

Just when everybody is feeling I'M
usually jubilant over the advance of
civilization, the spread of education or
the growth of a new disease due to

up and tells US we're behind the times,
that, in the words of the old Song, that
story had paresis in the days of old

Now the wise man has stood up III
his place to tell us that we're not so
fast q people after all. that the disease
of the heart of which we've been SO
fond, fancying it came from our siren
uousness, is literally as old as the
pyramids, that the Egyptians suffered
its pains in their time.
Tt is a Chicago heart specialist who
thus knocks into a cooked hat our pet

The cigarette smoker suffers from

It is not the cigarette itself that does
the harm, it is the smoke inhaled into

Some men smoke pipes because they
wish to escape the criticism to which
the cigarette smoker is subject The
pipe smoker who inhales does himself
more injury than the cigarette smoker
who fnhales, because the pipe smoker
takes in more smoke.

BURDENS OF TAXATION.

Taxation is seldom popular and is
never regarded as a form of securing
the affection or good will of those who
have to comply with the governmental
demands.
Our national independence was Sc
cured through opposition u George
III's schemes of colonial taxation, and
yet today there is not a government on
earth that raises such enormous sums
of money annually through taxation
of its people.
National, state, county and muni-
cipal taxations are today drawing
from the people, the taxpayers of the
United States, payments in taxes that
in aggregate amount were never equal
ed by the tax payments of any three
nations in Europe at any time.
By degrees and unnoticed in their
incessant increase during the past 40
years. but more especially in the years
Of this last decade. these taxes are be-
ing levied to care for constantly grow
ing councils, county commissioners
and state egislators.-CiBcinnat En-
