there was a desire to defeat Ciapp, but

Joseph Root, a hermit resident of
Presque Isle peninsula, near Erie, Pa,
claims he has not slept in twenty-five
years, and those who have become in

A number Of we'll known physicians
have examined him. They say he is in
a healthy condition, and he was awake
all the time they observed him. His
close friends also vouch for the story.
Drugs have been administered, but
have no effect on Root. The man has
lived for a long time on the peninsula
and tells an interesting story. .-.
He says that about twenty five years
ago two dear relatives were killed sud

The Minnesota Tax Commission, in
its report made to the Governor last
month, recommends, among other
things. that the present law be
amended so that personal property ex-
emptlons be limited to the head of a
family. We believe such an amend
ment would be one of the steps to-
ward correcting the abuses OF the pre-
sent tax law. ana as such be passed.
Under present conditions the personal
property of family IS divided among
the husband, wife and all the children
when the assessor calls, with the result
that but very little Of il is ever taxed
because each claims: the exemption.
This is not justice to those who
honestly list their property and in
fairness to all the present law should
be changed to conform with the re-
commendation of the tax commission.

The supreme court of the United
States has declared invalid an Alabama
law which resembles the lumber jack
law which was passed IN this state
some years ago. Under the Alabama
law 1T was misdemeanor for any per-
son to enter into contract to LABOR, re-
ceive advance pay and then fail to do
the work without refunding the money.
Breach of contract was on its face
made proof of intent to defraud and
the laborer had no chance of rebuttal.
Arrest, convention and fine followed,
The point was first. that the laborer
should have a chance to: show there
was no intent to defraud, and
second, that: state could not reduce a
person to involuntary seryitui]e by the
indirect metho1 of making his failure
to pay debt crime.
