Editor Mcdowell of the Gallatin
Missourian says: An appeal is
made to renters to support the Sim
gle Tax on the theory taat as they
will pay no land tax and will be re-
lieved of their small personal tax,
they should be benefited by the
Single Tax. Mr.. Reader, the man
who owns that land, whether it be
a farm or a town lot with a house
on it, is going to get net profit
out of it if he can, and you may be
certain that as his tax goes up, your
rent will 90 up, and your rent will
90 up more each month than your
tax for a whole year, under existing
conditions.

Head of Republican Govern
ment So Advises the I'M
periaI Representative.

PEKING, February 14.-President Sun
Vat Sen telegraphed today to Yuan Shi
kai: II have read the edict announcing
abdication and also your letter declaring
your adherence to the United Republic.
Both have caused great rejoicing here;
but the United Republic is unable to rec
ognize the appointment of an organizer
by the Ching emperor If the point is in
sisted on it may result seriously
Invited to Marking.
"Please come to Marking Immediately
and fulfill the hopes of the people. If
your presence is necessary in the north
in order to maintain order and admin
lister the government. you should appoint
fully empowered representative and
then await the decision Of the national
assembly.
On receipt of the dispatch Yuan Shi
Kai sent instructions to Tang Shao vi,
peace conference at Shanghai, to make
other arrangements.
Compliance Not Probable.
Yuan Shi Kai's party suspects that If
the thrones nomination of the premier
as organizer is set aside the republicans
will probably appoint another president.
1t is most improbable that Yuan Shi Kai
will comply with President Sun Vat Sens
request.

BRITISH ADMIRAL DEAD,
Sir NOVEL; Salmon, Former Head O

LONDON, February l4.-Admiral of the
Fleet Sir NOVEL; Salmon died today, at
the age of seventy-seven. Until his re-
tirement in 1905, after serving fifty-eight
years in the navy, he was one of the most
popular officers in the fleet. He was one
of the rare possessors Of the Victoria
Cross which he won for bravery in the
field during the Indian mutiny.
The courageous act for which Admiral
Sir NOVEL; Salmon was awarded the Vic
toria Cross was done during the second
relief of Lucknow in 1857. He was at
tached as lieutenant to the naval brigade,
and. while the sailors were attacking a
strongly occupied fort they suffered from
the extraordinary marksmanship of one
of the rebels. Salmon volunteered to
climb tree, which exposed him to al
most certain death, in order to pick Off
the Indian marksman. His field glass
was shattered in his hand by the sharp
shooter, but Salmon took aim and shot

whatnot at Christie's salesrooms.
The guinea is a gold coin current for
81 shillings sterling. or about s.. but It
has not been coined since the issue Of
the sovereign In 1917.
The guinea habit has been defended
by some subtle dealers on the ground
that 1t obfuscates the foreign visitors

hand, those astute cambists have
been known to growl at a few thous.

being from Guinea. But Shakespeare
