NOT SlGNERS' DESCENDANTS.
Why Some Members of the Society Are
to Be Dropped

John Calvert of Philadelphia has ex-
planned why several members of the
Society of the Descendants of Signers
Of the Declaration of Independence
would be dropped from the society's
rolls. Mr.. Calvert said that all per-
sons declaring themselves to be de-
scendants of signers were admitted to
the society when it was formed five
years ago, with the understanding that
their names would be dropped if their
claims were found subsequently to be
without substantiation. Since that
time all members have been subject to
that provision, and as their individual
lineage has been ascertained and au-
thenticated they have been enrolled as
bona fide members.
There was no criticism whatever of
those to be dropped, declared Mr.. Cal
vert. it merely having been found that
their claims to descent from signers
have not been borne out. Mr.. Calvert
added that these persons applied for
membership in the society in perfect
good faith, and the fact that they are
TO be dropped is to be taken in no man
ner as rejecting upon their integrity.
Mr.. Calvert is a descendant of Ben
jamin Rush and Richard Stockton, both
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence.

HARD TIMES If WILSON WINS.
The Enactment of His Free Trade
Theories Would Mean Ruin.

Wilbur F. Wakeman, secretary of
the American Protective Tariff
League, declared that the election of
Woodrow Wilson to the presidency
and enactment into law of his the
ories on the tariff would cause hun
dreds of thousands to be thrown out
of employment.
The nomination of Gov. Wilson
draws the lines on the tariff question
more directly, perhaps, than would
that of any other man whose name
was before the Baltimore conven-
tion," he said.
Governor Wilson is a consistent
free trader. In all of his writings and
speeches he has declared himself for
free trade or the lowest kind of a
revenue tariff, consequently we have
the lines directly drawn between a
free trade policy now enforced in
Great Britain and the protective pol
icy embodied in the tariff act of
1909.
would rather deal with a skill
full knave than an educated theorist
whose theory is wrong. If we should
have Democratic President l would
rather have Murphy or Urocker than
Gov. Wilson. Gov. Wilson is a gem
tIeman. lie would like to do right,
but he does not know how.
His election would mean the
throwing out of employment of hun
dreds of thousands of people and
lessened production.
Our country is much bigger than
it was in 1892 and consequently the
fall from prosperity to adversely
would be the greater, but l have alb

American people, and the old men
like myself will tell the boys who
were not voters in 1892 what a ter
rible time we had under free trade
sysem of 1894.
9 If our people will tell their boys
and girls of the conditions of 1894
and 1895 there will be little danger
of Gov. Wilson's election to the presi-
dency."

TOWN BOOSTING.

The town boosting movement has
become so general that one town
gains little more in this way from
it's surroundings than it loses to
other competitors.
OF course this makes it doubly
necessary to keep hustling for new
business, If we would play the game
and keep up with our rivals.
But while we are soliciting new in
dustries to come here, while one
town is wearing booster buttons"
and another is stamping its mail mat
ter with booster tags" let us see to
it that we are not lacking in certain
fundamental substantials of commun-
ity development.
The most solid growth comes when
we can encourage our own young and
ambitious men to start in business
and stay here instead of going away.
Every town has such ambitious and
promising young men, of good busi-
ness capacity.
The city that gets ahead is the city
where the men who have already won
out are willing to help younger men
get a foothold.
If just as soon as our business men
are successful they should settle
down idly to enjoy their money, in
different TO the advancement of the
town we should progress but slowly.
But If they will interest themselves
in our younger men and newer enter
prises, serve on boards of directors,
invest what they can afford in home
undertakings, give the benefit of
their experience, no power on earth
can stop the city from growing rap
idly.
The returns from planting shade
trees and developing parks and
keeping home grounds in fine order
may seem remote and not of much
assistance commercially. But in a
place where these things are careful
ly looked after, the town acquires a
wide reputation as a residence town.
Every travelling man who comes here,
every visitor, scatters the report that
this is a mighty agreeable place to
live in.
The returns from this source may
be slow, but they are very true. Any
business man hesitating between
two places for a location always
chooses the attractive residence
place. And there is a constant ten
dency of people 10 move in from the
country to educate children and en-
joy town life, and they always pick
attractive residence places to move
to-

BIG ASTOR TAX.
Estate With Straus and Guggenheinn's
to Yield Nearly S6OOO,Ooo.

to Yield Nearly $6,0oo,ooo.
State Comptroller Sohmer of New
York Will not take any steps looking
to the appraisal of the estates of John
Jacob Astor, Isidor Straus and Benta-
min Guggenheim, victims of the tt
tanic disaster until the attorneys rep
resentfng those estates show an inclina-
ton to invoke the law, which author
ICES a discount of per cent If the
transfer tax is paid within six months
after the death of the decedent.
1t is estimated that the state tax
ON the three estates will be between
$5yO0o,O0o and $6,OO0OOO. No intima-
ton has yet been received that the
tax will be paid within the six months,
although this period does not expire
until next October. 1t is usual for
those interested in large estates to get
this discount.
Although requests have been made
by, attorneys to be designated as spe-
cial counsel to represent the state in
appraising these estates, Comptroller
Sohmer says he will not make such
designation unless absolutely neces-
Safy.

FORMER FRIENDLESS YOUTH
END0WS POOR BOYS HOME
Major Andrew Drumm, Millionaire
cattleman, Gives $65o,oo0.

Once "a poor and friendless boy, Ma
jor Andrew Drumm of Kansas City,
president of n live stock commission
company, one of the big cattlemen OF
the southwest and a millionaire. is GO
Ing to provide a home for poor and
friendless boys and endow II with
S5OO,OOO. The home itself will repre-
sent an investment of nearly S15O,OOO.
The first step in Mr.. Drumm's plan
was the purchase of the 372 acre farm
of the late Alexander Fraser, near
Lees Summit, Mo-, at Il cost of $S5 900.
This is to be the site of the home.
There are now a fourteen room house
and all necessary farm buildings on
the place. The dwelling will he en-
larged. Ajor Drumms home is not
intended TO be charitable institution
in any way, but place where ambi-
tous boys without an opportunity may
fit themselves by study to make OPP
portunities for themselves. It Is to be
more In the nature of free industrial
boarding school
When the plans are all completed
Major Drumm will turn the whole in
stitudon over to the city with the en-
dowment, which will operate it with
out cost to the city.
Major Drumm is now eighty-four
years old. He was born in Ohio.
When he was eighteen years old he
left that state and went to California
with the forty-niners. He made money
In the mining business and in 1876 en-

FARM FOR DOWN AND OUTS"
Plan to Have Place For Open Air, Easy
Work,

Plans for the purchase of a large
truck farm by the city for the employ
ment and care of down and outs"
have been submitted to the Chicago
city council by the city's commission
on the unemployed. DR.. Charles Hen
derson, president Of the University Of
Chicago and chairman Of the commits
sion, indorses the plan.
The farm, TO lie established in the
Desplaines valley, just outside the city,
will have cottages and barracks, and
the working hours are not TO be long
or the work arduous. Small remunera-
tion, based on efficiency, is suggested.
1t is Believed that the open air life will
revive ambition in the younger men
and give the elders an opportunity to
earn good living and have a home.
