THE TAxPAYER.

The taxpayer Is asIorm OF municipal

paving. certificates and double assess.
,ments. He is consulted, every once in
a while by total stranger who has
been elected assessor On reform tick.
ct and allowed to contribute section
OF his salary to the waterworks fund
The assessor is a coldblooded indivldu.
al who assesses everybody alike, ex.
cept the board OF review and n few
prominent citizens who dabble in poll
tics in order to purify the Augean
stables. In some Of our larger cities
the taxpayer has been PUSHED back
farther and farther into the suburbs,
pursued by sewer assessments and the
unIelentlng form of the pon tax, until
he is SO far from his place Of business
that he has to take sleepers hit
were net far the dociie and infer
mented taxpayer, this government
would have to be put up at auction
and sold to the hIghestSand best bid
der for cash. Yet wh8 ever; hears the
mentioned In boebStor song?
Nobody spills any Fourth OF July ora
TOSS over his PROSTATE form or hangs
an enlarged crayon portrait Of him on
Memory's walls. The tax dodger is a
person who has become weary OF draw,
ing checks for people with whom he
does not mingle socially and conceais
a few moneys and credits in a hair
trunk. He is a noxIous weed, but has
very rank growth in cities which are
about to macadamize the residence
district on the installment plan. II a
taxpayer is displeased with his assess
ment he can either move out of the
State or go into n clinch with a first
mortgage lien. which is very popu-
lar and satisfactory method. After the
taxpayer has floated a few bond issues
and maintained the city hall patriots
in a state OF affiuence, there isn't
much left for the sinking fund but the
tariff. This is the most hourishing
form of tax We have and allows a
large number OF happy and contented
people to ride around on rubber tires
and unearned increment.

4 WORD ON PARENT MANAGING.
TOM THUMB.

~ p
A WORD ON PARENT MANAGING.
1t Is often most interesting to cb,
serve how easily clever child can
manage its. parents. Some of our
modern children. are adopts in all the
branches OF the art. but one partlcu.
lar trick which almost every child
knows is that of distracting his pa,
rents attention from command
which he does not wish to obey.
Alittle nelghbor OF mine nominally
goes to bed at half past seven o'clock.
| happened to be calling there the 9th.
Ell evening at about that hour and wit.
messed little duel. the like OF which
evidently takes place quite regularly.
The clock in the hall chimed half past
seven and "a worried expression
crossed my hostess face. 'Wnl you
excuse me a moment while l start
Marjorie for bed?" she asked. or
course. acquiesced.
Come, Marjorie" she called. Its
half past seven and you know you
lidn't get to bed until nine last night
or the night before. 4 want you to
start promptly tonight"
"oh, mother" from Marjorie,
please let me sit up just a few min.
utes. | want to finish this chapter"
mo, Marjorie, now please don't
tease, You know what you promised
ne last night"
Marjorie carefully marked her place,
closed her book and stood up. Then
she looked outside the window and
caught sight OF the family cat outside
IN the piazza. "Oh, mother don't you
want me TO get Tom in? You know
you said you didn't want him to stay
out nights?"
well you may IL you'll hurry"
weakened Marjorie's mother.
1t look ten minutes TO bring Tom
u, to show him on and finally dispose
5! him on the couch.
Five minutes more were used in say.
Ing. goodnight to ME.
Again my hostess reminded Mar.
jorie that she had promised to start
promptly tonight and this time arose
to accompany her up the stairs. On
the way they passed the piano. Clever
Marjorie caught at the last straw to
save her from the lgnomlny of>sink.
Ing into oblivion. "oh, mother, want
to play Miss Cameron my new piece"
she said. Maternal pride struggled
with discipline. Maternal pride won
II quick victory. Marjorie played that
piece and two others and artfully
managed to turn the conversation
upon the coming recital In which, to
her mothers vast satisfaction, she was
to be the, youngest pupil and to play
twice.
AT eiEht.twenty.hye Marjorie actual.
ly started upstairs to bed.
Marjorie is certainly n very clever
little musician. but l should not ad.
wise having her trained for that pro.
fession. think 1t would be wiser to
have her prepare for a diplomatic ca
reer. Women will probauIy nave en-.
tered diplomacy by the time she is Of
age and she will surely make her
mark In 1t.
A word to the child who wants TO
control his parents: sulklng will ac.
complish some good and teasing more,
and there are few parents who can
be managed by open disobedience, hui
the Very best trick OF all; when you
don't want to mind, is to district yonr
fathers or mothers attention: study
his Or her weaknesses, and nine times
out OF ten you can defer obedience In
definitely. IL not altogether escape 1t.
Every home should have the story

y summary of what purports to
be the $4,000 affidavi;" which Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo referred to
the other day before the aldermanic
committee was made public today.
John Il. Reith Is the police captain
who = said to have made oath that
he was offered promotion from lieu
tenant to captain for $4,000.
The summary of the affidavit as
serts that Reith swears ne was in
formed by an under-sheriff that the
people having the power" to pro-
mote him wanted this sum for doing
IL and that when he refused to pay 1t
he was passed and not promoted.
This was prior to Mayor Gaynor's
administration. the summary asserts.
Reith was subsequently promoted to a
captaincy when Waldo became COM
missioner and his affidavit Is said to
contain statement that his promo
tion then did not cost him a cent.
Alfred G.. Johnson, the fomer un-
der-sheriff named in the summary,
declared tonight that ne never Offer
ed To get Reith promoted. He said
that the police officer had come to
him several times "and wanted to
know IL there was not some one who
could have him promoted Cor the pay
ment of $4,000 or $4,000"
a fool TO think that money could help
him." he added.
Mr.. Johnson declared that the at
fidavit, which has been asked for by
the aldermanic committee. had been
brought to light i'm order to discredit
him as possible witness on police
corruption. He asserted that he had
information of the existence of "a
branch Office" for the collection of
police graft at 115 Broadway. which
he investigated last December. His
detective. he said. had traced the
men who maintained the Office to
the home of a civilian Of the police
department. The fact that he had
made his investigation was known, he
declared. TO high police officials.

when 200 business men marched to
the Atlantic Coast Line depot at 4
Il. Nj. To meet the Richmond Boosters
who came in on a special train. The
reception had been arranged by a
special committee. Mr.. Herbert
Moses was marshal Of the day. AS
always. Sumter did herself proud and
incidentally secured a lot of valuable
advertising. The Richmond party was
thoroughly pleased with the reception
accorded oy Sumter. which was con-
sidered one OF the very best they had
received thus far.
"A special committee from the
Chamber OF Commerce. consisting Of
ID. II. McCallum. II. c.. Osteen. A. ".
Smell. NJ. III. Flaum and w. j. Archer
met the Richmond train at Darling
ton. Here a committee from the Dar-
lington Chamber of Commerce eacort-
ed the Boosters up town to the Com
mercial Club where refreshments
were served. From Darlington the
special train went to Florence. A
committee of fifty business men were
at the station and the reception was a
very cordial one. Every member Of
the party including the Sumter COM
rni.tee received a white badge which
the Florence business men pinned on
the coats of the Boosters. The joke
was on Florence. however. for the
Sumter committee had already gone
through the train and pinned a Sum-
ter booster button on every Richmond
man. They had also handed out the
Sumter Folder. and the Florence
Boosters were amazed to find that
Sumter had again won first blood.
Florence took II all In good part and
their reception of the Sumter party
was just as cordial as that Of Rich
mond. In fact. In the march through
the Florence streets. the Florence and
Sumter men marched together. A
special feature M Florence was a re-
ception by the ladies who served
punch TO the thirsty marchers. The
Sumter c0r'r'ttee admitted after
leaving Fi"rencr that Sumter would
have o. go some to beat out the Flor
ence reception md II was Joy TO their
hearts when Troy came into the Sum-
ter depot TO hear the Sumter band
and TO find that Sumter had turned
out with the largest crowd that they
had yet seen. IL was the only place
along the entire line that the Rich
mond Boosters had been greeted by
a city band. Sumter should certainly
be proud OF its band.
The march up Main stret was also
greeted by more people on the streets
than In either Darlington or Florence.
Several OF the Richmond party re-
marked upon the clean appearance of
the Sumter streets and upon the many
buildings that were going up. Just
before reaching the court house the
sumter business men who were lead
ing the parade parted i'm two columns
and the Richmond Boosters, led by
their band marched between them.
Al the court house Mayor Jennings
made short speech OF welcome
which was responded To 10y Mayor
Ainslie OF Richmond. President :.
G. Baker Of the Sumter Chamber Of
Commerce. William Dabney. Secretary
OF the Richmond Chamber of Com
merce and Secretary Smell also made
short speeches. Both on the march
up town and on their return. the
Richmond boosters distributed hum
dreds Of souvenirs To the crowds on
the sidewalks.
