Jacobson Defends Bill.

State Senator Charles Jacob
 son of Little Rock, a well-known
 attorney and one of the authors
 of the Turner-Jacobson bill,
 comes to the defense of his bill in the following vigorous man. ner:
 "Whenever you find a man or set of men actively fighting this bill you can take it as prl- ma facie evidence that they are tax-dodgers or the paid repre- sentatives of tax-dodgers. The man with modest little home an9 9 modest income is not dodg- ing his taxes; it's a pleasure for him to pay them. The tax dodgers not only undervalue their property, but the worst feature of it is concealing it.
 I want every person to bear his just proportion of the bur- dens of government, whether that person be public service or corporation, mechanic or farmer.
 "In my judgment this bill is the best piece of constructive revenue legislation this state has had for years, and yet 1t can and no doubt will be improved on as time and experience comes to us. Perhaps it has it's faults. The declaration of independence was not drafted at one sitting and tariff bills are constantly improved on, but don't let the tax-dodger annul the effect of this legislation, understand 1t first and then improve on it later

GERMAN CIRCUS AMAZES
Schuman's Trained Horses Attract
Many Travellers in Europe.

| Schuman'S Trained Horses Attract
Many Travellers in Europe.
Travellers from all over the world,
while touring Germany, seldom fail TO
visit the Albert Schuman circuses at
Berlin, Frankfurt or Scheveningen. III
all Europe the name "Schuman" Is
as significant as is the name Ring
| ling to Americans. Schuman's spe-
cialty is the training of horses. In
this respect he is the greatest man il
the world. His wonderful acts have
so astonished beholders that on the
return to their native countries, the
glories of Rome and of Athens and the
splendors Of the Louvre have held no
more important places In their minds
when relating their adventures ana
travels.
Schuman is many times a million
aire He has made all his money by
training and exhibiting horses. His
achievements read like miracles. 1t
does not seem that horses would allow
themselves to be rolled about IN bar
rels Schuman's horses do. 1t Gar
scarcely be believed that horses could
draw water from casks, catch 1t in
glasses and drink 1t as the Teuton
drinks his beer. Schuman's horse
do this. Think of a horse shaking hin
self loose from his harness, climbing
into the carriage and taking a seat
beside the driver. Schuman's horses
do. When the act begins the horses
enter the arena concealed in large bar
rels which are piled on an immense
brewery wagon. The nature of the act
is not disclosed to spectators until the
horses kick out the head of the bar
rels and jump into the ring.
Albert Schuman and his horses are
one of the big features of Ringing
Brothers circus this season. 1t is the
first time the great German wizard has
ever exhibited his handiwork outside
Of his native country. It took for
tune to induce him to bring his horses
to America The act is now being
presented under Ringing Brothers
main tent just as it was seen on the
other side of the ocean.
To Mr.. Schuman the training of
horses is a serious work. He locks
upon his achievements with the same
earnestness hat an artist regards his
C4nVdS. his Is Tic S6nlup VI he-i u
work. He dramatizes the equine fac
ulties into exhibitions that astonish
mankind. Kings have decorated him
and the greatest statesmen and pro-
fessors of Europe are his friends.
There is no other man quite like him
in the world. Only a poet and an
artist could achieve what Mr.. Schu-
man has achieved
Other wonderful features Of Ring
ling Brothers program are the Bone
setti family Of acrobats, from Italy;
Mijarez, the Mexican wire wizard;
the Alex troupe of aerialists from
France; Albert Loyal's sommersauit

ory's troupe of baby elephant perform

PLAN BOOSTING
OF ATTENDANCE
So President Tearney Of Three
Eye League Says Is Rea-
son for Meeting.
HAYES HAS LOCAL PROXY
None of Rock Island Directors at the
Meeting-Believe Here That
Salaries Are to Be Gut.

The Rock Island Baseball associa-
ton did not send a representative
to the Three-Eye league meeting
which President A. r. Tearney called
for this noon at the Palmer house
in Chicago. The directors held a
short informal meeting last evening
and it was found that none of them
was in position to get away on such
short notice as was afforded by the
call from the leagues executive. Ac-
cordingly arrangements were made
with James T. Hayes, secretary and
business manager of the Davenport
ball club, whereby he will carry the
proxy of the local club and will cast
its vote on any matters of Importance
which may come up.
TEARNEY VERY INDEFINITE.
The call for a meeting did not
specify the reason for such action
and accordingly efforts were made
yesterday to learn from Tearney just
what the meeting was for. Late
in the evening a telegram from the
league head impaired the informa-
ton that the meeting was called" to
lay plans Aol oooeIiAS dIISHuahSc anu
to consider other matters OF i'm
portance" though what these other
matters are was not even limited at.
It Is believed, however. that a move
ment Is on foot to cut down salaries
and expenses. When the northern
clubs started agitation for this some
weeks ago, the league head refused
to take cognizance Of the call for
a meeting but 1t is believed that Kin
sella has finally found that baseball
as it is now being run is not earning
him his bread and butter. and that
a cutting Of expenses Is advisable.

Galen Mirick, 10 year old HEAVIER
for the Monticello (Iowa) Midgets
made a phenomenal record last week
when he struck out 81 batsmen in
q full nine inning contest. He al
lowed but two hits, but at the same
time, his wildness and errors behind
him netted six runs for his oppon-
ents. He has won IL straight VIC
tories and is considered one of the
best ball tossers round about the
section of the state from whence he
halls.
Bidders are making things interest
ing and the chances are that the St
Paul star battery, O'Toole and Kelly,
will not be in st. Paul uniforms all the
year. The high bid thus far is from
the St Louis Cardinals, who are max
ing such 2 pretty fight for honors in
the National league under the leader
ship of Roger Bresnahan. Bresnahan
has offered $4,000 in cash for the
pitcher and catcher. Charley Comis-
key has also come to the front with a
startling offer for the men. It falls ST.
500 short of the ST. Louis offer, being
an even $4,000 to get O'Toole and
Kelly in White Sox uniforms.
A Danville sports writer says that
the patrons of the national pastime
in his native haunt are of better
class than those of any other city
and that said fact may be attributed
to the gentdemanly set of ball tossers
on the Speakers pay roll. But then
evidently the same writer goes or
to state that the city boasts the best
ball plant in the league, the best
team in minor leagues and every
thing else. However, he can not call
the team the best hitters that ever
donned uniforms so he lessons that
shortening by saying that they are
the most timely hitters. Hurrah for
Danyille.

How TO Get Good Roads.

In Mr.. J. NJ. Farley, Monroe has
d uselul ciuizell. fiis latest activities
are directed toward the building of
good roads and through The Monroe
Journal he is showing the people of
Union county how to secure good
roads and yet pay no more taxes.
"Mr. Farley believes that Monroe
township must lead the way on it's
own responsibility" says The Jour-
nal.
''And this township can by the use
of bonds, grade and rock its roads
without increasing the taxes now
being paid. The special road tax
now being paid by this township to
support the chain gang is enough to
pay the yearly interest on bonds
enough to put the roads in modern
shape. If the township would vote
the bonds the chain gang funds
would pay the interest and the pro-
ceeds of tfe sale of the bonds could
be used in hiring contractors to
build the roads and the chain gang
could be hired to the contractor or
take contracts on its own RESPONSE
biIity. Thus in q short while we
would have the roads and they
would be costing us no more per
year than it is costing US now to do
without them. If Monroe leads off
this way the other townships, Mr..
Farley thinks, would soon follow
and issue bonds to improve their
roads to the most convenient mar
kets. There is an old saying that
one cannot eat his cake and still
have it, but it is a we'll known fact
that township or community
can pay over and over for roads and
not get Them" We commend Mr..
Fairley's plan not only to Union
county, but to other counties that
are endeavoring to solve the good
roads problem-which is really no
problem at all Charlotte Chronicle.

Campaign Against HGOkWOfm Disease.

The State and county dispensaries
for the free treatment of hookworm
disease are attracting widespread
attention. Fifteen eastern counties
have made the necessary provision
to have them. In four of these
counties Robson, Sampson, Co.
lumbus and Halifax work was
completed about three weeks ago,
and an average Of 5000 victims of
the disease were treated in each
county. The counties of Wayne,
Onslow, Cumberland and Northamp-
ton now have the dispensaries in
operation. About one hundred peo-
pie are being treated daily at each
of the dispensaries. Pender. New
Hanover, Brunswick, Craven, Pitt,
Warren and Hertford counties have
made provision for the dispensaries
and will be entered as soon as pcssi-
BILE. Bladen and perhaps two OF
three other counties will take actie n
the next first Monday. The dispen-
saries remain in a county usually
six weeks. The good results of their
work are so apparent that after the
dispensaries move to new fields the
local doctors are kept busy continu-
ing the treatment.
