tion to the high school, the building
cdmmittee, II Is understood, took
Principal Kirk into It's confidence
and consulted him as to design and
equipment, completely ignoring Pow
ers. Before that, It was stated, there
was not a very friendly feeling be-
tween the two educators, and this
only embittered It, Powers resenting
the action Of the committee.
From time to time things have
arisen TO increase the unfrlondlincss
and embltter the controversy, until
the time has arrived when two Of
the directors seem to be OF the opIn-
ion that action must be taken to
eliminate the discord.
Directors Millard and Holt, II is
understood, are favoring the resig-
nation Of Powers. Director Lafky,
while a friend OF Kirk, II Is stated,
is endeavoring to occupy neutral
ground. Directors miles and Moores
are away from the city. but will re-
turn soon, and then the proposition
will likely come before the board.
Miles Is said to be neutral and
Moores to he friend OF Powers.

LINCOLNs BIRTHDAY
BANQUET GREAT

The banquet given by the Young
Meas Republican club at the Marion
Monday evening was a decided sue
cess. There was Q large attendance,
and besides the good things TO eat,
there were many good things in the
way OF mental pabulum. OF course
the theme was Lincoln. and with
that grandest Of modern characters
as a theme, no speech could be had
while on the other hand none could
be too laudatory. There we're many
guests from out Of the city, and
some Of the finest talks Of the even
ing we're made by them. Occasion
was taken to make some comparison
to the conditions In good old Father
Abraham's time and the present, and
Mr.. U'Ren and others Of that pestif-
erous genus we're soundly scored
Senator Carson, OF this city, was
among the speakers and made q lu-
cid showing OF the lniquities Of the
present registration system.
Hon. c. N. Macarthur made the
principal speech Of the evening, and
made good one too, as he always
does.
The affair was a great success
from every standpoint and served to
tighten the bonds between the young
er generation Of Republicans.

TO CHANGE SYSTEM
OF TAXATION

While at noon today the legislative
tax committee had not taken a vote on
the proposition, sentiment among the
members seemed favorable to the
abolishment of the present law impos-
ing a tax on mortgages and notes, and
It is stated that such will likely be its
action.
\ The objection urged against the
law is that It imposes double tax on
property, and discourages capital.
This afternoon the committee will
likely consider the matter Of revising
the inheritance law so that 1t will not
conflict with those Of other states
make It conform to the model law
adopted in New York.
Yesterday afternoon the committee
decided to adopt an amendment tn the
constitution providing for an income
tax. The ultimate plan is to have this
tax substituted for the personal tax.
Committee also decided to initiate a
law giving exemptions to mechanics,
farmers and householders.

A HOT LITTLE FIFE
FOR A SHORT TIME

But for the timely assistance Of
Ralph Mason. engineer of the gaso-
line launch Independence, and the
boom men of the Spaulding logging
company, the floating house that
shelters the boom men during bad
weather would have been completely
destroyed this morning about 1880.
AS 1t was, the contents Of the build
ing consisting of the street clothes
of the boom men and their dinners,
were sacrificed to the flames.
The fire started from the stove
that heats the place and got good
start while the men were occupied

brought into play with good effect

His laugh Is infectious. and HIS

Viterbo, Italy Feb. 1S.--With the
resumption of arguments in the Cam
orrist trial today, it is generally be-
lieyed that the state has failed to
prove is case, and practically every.
body connected with the famous
trial expects that the accused men
will be acquitted.
That the men on trial were con-
nected with the Camorra there is
little doubt but there has been to-
tai absence of direct evidence to
prove that any Of them had any con-
nectlon with the murder Of Cu0llo
and his wife at Naples.
The whole prosecution depends
largely on the testimony Of Abbatte-
maggie, the informer, who turned
states evidence, and the defense has
cast grave doubt on his sanity.

did what he honestly believed was

degree of courage for Senator Dill

Effective Publicity for Vermont

The state bureau of publicity, ac-
cording to Secretary of State Bailey,
has already received no less than
2SO0 inquiries from tourists relative
to Vermont and Burlington as re-
suit of the profitable advertising cam
paign conducted, and the season has
only fairly begun. This result dem
onstrates that it was wise thing for
the Burlington Commercial club to re
quest at the bottom of the advertis
ing appearing in metropolitan news
papers that inquiries be directed to
Secretary OF State Bailey, and that
il was also well for Vermont to make
an appropriation for purposes OF pub
licity, for both OF these influences
have unquestionably combined tc
bring inquiries to the state publicity
bureau.

II is an interesting theory that 1t Is
not tough minded old statesmen who
drive tender youth to war. 1t Is youth
itself which tugs on the leash and pulls
the unwilling statesmen. We can well
believe that this is so. The courage OF
youth is pure fearlessness. The young
are not afraid OF death. They regard
IL as something that cannot possibly
happen to them. They apprehend II In
telectually, but they do not feel IL;
hence we propose to our fellow peace
commissioners this plan for ayerting
wars In future.

maximum OF age limit for enlistment

hood Of forty years. Now. why. In

over fifty, and on the third only men

The first call would be answered by q
