Springfield Republican: The debate
in the New Jersey Senate over the
federal income tax amendment brought
out this statement:
Mr.. >Gebhardt commended that there
was not one member Of the Senate who
didn't pay more to the government for
the maintenance of the army. navy,
etc., than Carnegie and Rockefeller.

eat much, and they dress poorly, he
said. Neither one pays q dollar on
his $500. coo. 600. and yet each receives
= thousand times more protection
The New York Sun tries to make
merry over this argument, but there is
tallnre to answer it or point out
wherein it merits ridlcule. In q cor
tain rough way the stateme mt presents
substantial truth, and the person or
newspaper that undertakes to Justify
or laugh away such situation as this
in respect to the distribution of the
federal tax burden has very large
contract on hand.

Congratulations to DR.. Wiley.

Congratulations to DR.. Wiley.
The American public extends con-
CALCULATIONS to DR.. Harvey W. Wiley,
the national pure food expert, upon
his marriage at the age Of sixty -seven
to Miss Anna Campbell Kelton, who is
less than half his age. It is really q
pity that a man who has fought so
long for pure food should have re-
manned single almost to the psalmist's
allotted life term hmit Let Us trust
that the new Mrs. Wiley is q skilled
cook and can prepare foods both pal
atable and pure-in case the hired cook
takes an unexpected vacation-for the
chemical expert who has done 80 much
toward protecting tho stomachs Of the
people,. ... :.
DR.. Wiley, whose, Official position is
that Of chief chemist in the depart
ment Of agriculture. is a public bene-
factor whose name will be or should
be 'enshrined in the hearts Of the hun
bred millions Of American citizens. He
il the man who fought the fake pat
emit medicine manufacturers to . stand
still. who ~waged q successful cam
paign against the adulteration Of
meats and. canned goods and who
through his tireless 1nvestigatt lions
compelled congress to pass the meas
ure known as the pure food law, re-
qulring@ labels describing the actual
contents Of sealed food paekages.
Until DR.. Wiley entered the arena
we ate embalmed beef and mummided
fruits and vegetables without knowing
it. 1t was chiefly through the efforts
Of the great government chemist that
the packers and Gamers were COM
PEELED to put up foods fit for men in
stead Of dogs. 49,.
That DR.. Wiley deserves a happy
married life. with an abundance of
pure food properly cooked, none Of US
will deny. To him and his bride tho
congratulations Of the nation are Of

The "Amerfcan'' LanguaRe.

The "Amerfcan' Language.
From a recent action of the London
county council in rejecting several
books submitted for school use we
learn that there is an American Ian
guage. The London council has turned
down biographies of Washington. Lin
coin. Grant and other eminent Ameri-
cans because they are written in
American. and extremely vulgar
American at that" This is important
news, II true. Most Of US have lived
under the impression that the Ian.
guage used in the. United States is
:tdenttcal::vwith that. employed ins Eng,
land. II We have different language
We should teach the rising generation
to diherentiate it from English. {
BY referring to the titles Of the books
rejected we may get an. inkling .of the
cause >'of their rejection. They are
"From log Cabin to White House.
"F'rom Farmhouse TO White House.
"From Tannery to white House, etc
No doubt such titles do appeal: ex.
treme1y vulgar to the hifalutin British
educator who has been accustomed to
the reading Of the. biographies Of kings
and queens who were born that way
ana had no dimculties of poverty to
surmount In reaching the throne. But
over here on. this side of the salt pond
We are extremely proud to have had
several5presidents who started life in
log. cabins. one who, began his career
In a tannery and plenty Of them who
worked as farm boys.
Nothing could indicate more clearly
the wide gulf between the American
and the Englishman in the matter OF
appreciation of democratic ideals than
this incident Of the rejected biog
raphies. The English are not to blame
for their inability to comprehend and
appreciate the American idea. They
are bound to their own past by ties OF
tradition too strong to break at one
blow

FREAK SHADOWS.
A Peculiar Phenomenon That Has 4
Simple Explanation.

A Peculiar Phenomenon That Has 4
Simple Explanation.
In the crude oil producing regions In
California there are scores Of large
ponds Of this material. After being
pumped to the surface the; petroleum
is emptied into depressions in the
earth, where it remains for a time.
Later the crude oil is placed in bar
rels. In large metal cans or else in big
reservoirs. These oil ponds are known
as ''sump holes.''
There is one peculiar thing about
these "sump holes," and that is In the
way of producing what are known as
freak shadows" These are real
shadows. but notwithsta nding this fact
they are decidedly "freaky." II the
sun is brightly shining and per
son stands for few moments on the
margin OF the "sump hole" so that
his shadow falls on the surface Of the
petroleum and he then quickly changes
his position the dim shadow remains
just where it was originally cast. In
other words. the shadow does not
follow the substance"
This may seem like paradox. but it
Is true. The instant q person shifts
his position his shadow is again cast
In new place. yet the former shadow
remains unchanged. The longer a
person stands in one particular spot
the longer will the former shadow be
visible.
Hundreds Of experiments have been
made along these lines. and every time
the same results have been produced
The simple explanation for this phe-
nomenon is that under the hot sun
gas is being constantly generated
down in the body Of the petroleum.
and it rises to the surface in the form
of little minute bubbles. So very
small are these bubbles that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Mil
lions of these wee bubbles are rising
to the top all the time, when. the
bubbles break and the gas is liberated.
passing into the air. ....:.
Both the gas and bubbles are so
very supersensitive to the temperature
that even ones shadow cast for a
moment across them is affected. The
temperature is lowered. Whenever the
substance quickly changes position the
shadow remains until the rays again
warm up that spot and the. shadowy
outline slowly fades away. OF course
the freak shadow" may be seen for
only q very few seconds. Scientific

NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS DAY
ON APRIL BOTH.

April 30th has been set aside this
year as ''Tuberculosis Day. and will
ne observed in 200, 600 churches in the
country in manner similar to that of
tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910, when
over 40. 600 sermons were preached on
the prevention of consumption. The
National Association for, the study and
prevention Of. Tuberculosis hopes to.en-
list all of the 81. 600, 600 church mem
beers IN the country IN this movement.
In one respect tuberculosis Day will
differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead of requesting the church
eS to give to the tuberculosis cause q
special Sunday services the plan is to
ask this year that meetings, at which
the subject of tuberculosis and its pre-.
'ventlon can be discussed, hey, held on
Sunday, ApriES0th. or on any ,otheriday
near that date, either in the week pre-
ceed1ng or the week following, What
is desired is that the subject Of ,tuber-
culosls be discussed in all Of the
zoo, 900 churches Of the United States
at as neatly the same time as possible.
This does not demand that a stated
service begiven to this work, although
that might be desirable, but that any
minister, or other authority who he
may invite, may present the problem
to his congregation before or after his
regular service, or on any day within
the week preceding or following April
30th. =
The National Association is plan
ming to gather statrstlcs from thou
sands of ministers, showing how SER
ious a problem tuberculosis IS to every
church. These figures will: Indicate
among other things the number of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
church congregations, and the extent
to which clergymen are called upon to
minister to sufferers from this disease.
It is planned also to issue millions of
circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. both from the
national Office and from the head.

Lightning Tore Her Stockings OF.
While Robert L. Taylor and Mis-
Eva Boatler, schoolteacher. were out
driving near Danville, Va, a dash Of
lightning struck their buggy. The
horse was instantly killed, and tho
young wcman's shoes; and stockings
were torn; off,: Taylor was severely
burned and was rendered unconscious.
The remarkable part Of the occurrence
Is that while the lightning tore the ap-

Against tho Raioy Day.
From immemorial time the wise have
admonished the foolish to lay up some
thing against the rainy day" Now
comes forward the new thought move
ment, or something Of the sort, and ad-
monishes the foolish not even to think
about the rainy day. If you think
about it, says the new thought seer.
that will bring the rainy day, which
really doesn't exist, you know. This
calls to mind that excellent joke about
the fellow from the backwoods who
visited menagerie and looked long
and critically at giraffe. Finally he
remarked: "Huhl The amt no SIGH
animal"
Despite the new thoughters, it is
just as wise now as it ever was to lay
up against the rainy day. The United
States government, realizing this fact,
has established the postal savings
bank system, by means Of which mil
lions Of persons who heretofore have
spent their incomes to the final far
thing will lay up rainy day money in
future. A piece of real estate makes
an excellent rainy day investment. A
few dollars month put into the buy
ing of lot or a few acres of land will
mean in time the ownership of a
home, the cessation of rent paying and
the solid satisfaction Of knowing that
you no longer are slave to landlords.
Latterly we nave Deen nearing a
great deal of talk similar to the sort
mentioned. There are persons who in
sist that disease does not exist and
that pain is merely mental condition
Let one of these persons have boil on
the back of his neck and his mental
condition will he altered to conform to
the boil. He will discover that a boil
is real entity and pain a physical con
dition. The world is progressing rap
idly, but we still have a considerable
number Of old fashioned things which
