ma correspondent who writes to
know why the press of this county
exclusive. of course. of the virtuous
Herald-has taken no cognizance OF
the Herald's alleged exposure OF
tax conditions in this county. Inc
Herald replies that it has its own
opinions on the subject and then
proceeds to declare a story it lately
printed anent tax-dodging is true.
The insinuation in both the "Elma
correspondents" letter and the Her.
AIDS comment is perfectly clear, ana,
so far as The World is concerned, is
utterly unworthy. We are not ques-
tioning the truth Of the Heralds
latest story, nor are we STANDING pe-
hind it's truth. We don't know any
thing about the specific instance the
Herald has quoted, but it is propaplS
true that the foreign timber company
which the Herald assailed' lodges us
taxes in this county. 1t is also PROB
ably true that it has been doih?
that for years, and it is just as app
o keep on for some time to come.
The people do not seem to care.
Some time ago, The World took
up this whole question OF taXatlon
in this county and discussed it al
length. We fail to remember ina
the Herald joined in that discussion
On this We have our own opinion.
Now the Herald backs into the game
and thus attempts to arrogate 10 IT,
self ali virtue. On this. also we
nave "our own opinion.
The World was among the first
papers in this county to urge a cruise
of the county timber. Well, we nave
had the cruise. and it is up to the
people now to see that the cruise Is
made effective. Is it going to be
lcne? Who thinks it?
The trouble with taxation in TINS
county and this state, for that mat
ter. is that the whole system Is
wrong. Equitable taxation IS IN II
self a mighty large and difficult prob
lem. and it is practically Impossible
under the present system. This IS
not to excuse tax-dodging, but it does
help explain how avoidance OF the
inst burden of government is made
easy. and would be easy, even without
the connivance of county or state Of
ficjals Any one who has investigated
taxation even in slight degree, as it
= conducted in this state. knows TINS
statement to be the fact, and so no
rorious is it that the state tax com
mission is on record as opposed TO
the present system. We would rectiEy
the lodging business, insofar as rec
tifcation is possible, by changing the
system. and we have said so more
lines than we can count or the Her
aid appear to remember.
The objection of the obliglng FL
ma correspondent" that the press OF
the county did not rescue the Her
AIDS story from obscurity can not,
however, be considered as vital to a
very large subject.

ious on account Of his uncouth ways.
AS for the law. he evidently did not
know a great deal about it, evidenced
from the manner in which he conduct
ed his cases.
While here Leonard managed TO ge:
into debt to a great many business
men. He also bought an automobile
without paying cent for it. giving
mortgage for the entire amount. He
later suddenly disappeared. and with
him the mOrtgaged automobile. The
automobile was purchased from Mrs
J. J. Johnson and she filed a complaint
against Leonard for removing mort
gagged property from the state.
Leonard was apprehended yesterday
while passing through De!h. New
York, and will be brought back here
| for trial.
Leonards arrest was brought abou
by Mrs l.. ID. Carr through cores
pondence with her brother at Hamil

Innocent Man in Prison.

To serve twelve years in prison for
a crime he never committed is the
unfortunate experience of Nate Ha-
worth of Fort Dodge. While in Salt
Lake City, Utah, Haworth was ar
rested and convicted of the murder
of a merchant of that town. The
man was killed with gun which had
been stolen from Haworth's wagon.
Being unable to prove an alibi, he
had no chance against the prosecu-
ton. While he was serving his sent
ence, his mother and his wife died,
heart-broken, but believing in his in
nocence. Now a man named Morris
confessed just as he was about to be
hanged for another crime, that he
and not Haworth, had murdered the
merchant. SO will justice err Cir
cumstantial evidence has caused a
great many lives to be ruined, and
no adequate reparation can be made
by the courts that will convict a man
on such evidence. The only evidence
against Haworth was that the gun
was his property, and yet the over
Jealous judge found him guilty OF
murder. Can this Judge give him
back these twelve years of his life?
Is any sum of money that the un-
fortunate man may claim large
enough to pay him for these years
OF bitterness and sorrow? Let cir
cumstantial evidence be taken for
what it is worth. but do not convict
a man on such evidence, and ruin
not only his life. but the happiness
of his family.

Following reports of danger to
American lives and property in Cuba,
the Navy Department at the behest
of the State Department, has ordered
the transport Prairie to proceed at
once to Guantanamo with 700 mar
ines. Information which has reached
the State Department indicates that
a serious state of affairs exists in the
neighboring Guantanamo and Santi-
ago. where there are important
American interests which have al
ready made representations to the
department to the effect that their
property is being seized and the lives

In the Lorimer case both the ma
jority and minority memberships of
the investigating committee have fl
ed their reports with the Senate and
the matter now rests with that body
to decide. The majority report that
all the rules of law, judicial, pro-
cedure and justice require that the
Senates former judgment in the
Senator's favor should be held to be
final and conclusive; that there was
absolutely no new and substantial
evidence discovered on the reinvesti-
cation, no evidence that he had any
knowledge of corrupt practices in his
election, and that no vote was secur-
ed for him by bribery, his election
being 1.-The logical result of existing
political conditions in Illinois" The
minority report that the evidence
presented at the second investigation
is broader and more far-reaching'
than the previous inquiry brought
out, and that it conclusively estab-
lished that at least ten of the votes
cast for Lorimer at the joint session
of the Illinois legislature, May 26,
1909, were corrupt, and that his
election therefore was invalid The
minority report was signed by Sena-
tors Kenyon, Lea and Kern, while
the majority report was approved by
Senators Dillingham;, Gamble and
Jones, republicans, and Fletcher. and
johnson of Alabama, democrats.

ON BOARD THE TITANIC
Graphic Story of Catastrophe by For
mer Tutor i'm Roosevelt Home.
DETAILS OF GREAT TRAGEDY.
Mr.. and Mrs. T.. j. Curtin Meet
Friend in New York Who Gives
Them Story of Sinking of
the Titanic.

During their recent visit to New
York, to attend the meeting of the
executive council of the American
Bankers Association, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. ]. Curtin of this city met Miss
Marie G.. Young at Briarcliffe. She
was formerly music teacher at the
White House in Washington, tutor of
Miss Ethel Roosevelt, and was on
board the Titanic when 1t met its
fate off Newfoundland Banks. She
gave Mrs. Curtin the following story
which she had written of the sinking
of the Titanic, which has such a
personal tone and is so well written,
that We are glad to print it, in the
belief that, though some time has
passed since the disaster, it will be
read with interest:
On Board the Cunard Steamship
Carpathia, April 1S.-The survivors
of the Titanic are gathered this after
noon in the library of the Carpathia.
In our midst are heartbroken wives,
mourning for husbands who forced
them into lifeboats; here also are
motherless and fatherless babies, for
whom busy fingers are eagerly fash
ioning garments cut from clothing
furnished by generous women of the
Carpathia. Mothers and sisters are
crying for lost sons and brothers.
Men are here, too, with frozen, ban
daged feet and hands. From these
tragic surroundings, while words of
despair, of cheer, of hope, and of
solace PASS and repass, l send my
recollections of a night of horror
that language can never adequately
describe.

So long as men in buying shall
threaten to withdraw their trade un-
less given all they ask in price and
terms; so long as time of payment
is lost sight of in making a sale; so
long as incompetency can hide itself
behind mortgages; so long as busi-
ness men will hesitate to take out of
their life assets every doubtful ac-
count, so long will the road to sue
cess continue to be up hill. But,
believe me, no man need fear to
start because the hill is so long or
so steep. He may at times have to
take diagonal course, but if it
comes to critical point when sue

the friendly push ready to send him
