Roosevelt Takes a Rest

Oyster Bay, L. l., March 2.-Theo
dore Roosevelt dropped politics today
and took a rest in preparation for the
campaign before him. He said he
hoped to spend most of the next fort
night at home, with few trips to
New York.
He took a long horseback ride and
put in a few hours at chopping trees
which, next to riding, is his favorite
form of exercise. Mr.. Roosevelt said
no change had occurred in the polite
al situation so far as he knew.

The objection raised as to constitu-

even if the supreme court should
specifically affirm its constitutionality
ought not to deter any friend of the
measure. The supreme court can be
depended on to nullify it if it is not
constitutional and ! think the court
would be likely to decide any doubt
against the law rather than in favor
of it. That being the case. senators

POLITICIANS DUMBFOUNDED
REPUBLICAN LEADERS SAY THEY
HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO FIX
THEIR THOUGHTS
TAKE PLACE OF SUGAR TARIFF
1T Is BELIEVED THE NEW sYs-
TEN WILL MAKE UP FOR ANY
DEFICITS

Washington, March 2.-House and
senate leaders of all shades of DO
litical belief gave themselves over
today to a discussion of the sensation.
al action of the house democratic eau.
Gus last night in indorsing what is in
effect an income tax on all net in.
comes, including salaries, above $5, 900
a year.
That the house will pass the meas
ure by party vote within the next
Eten days or two weeks was taken for
granted. Discussion, therefore turn
ed largely on the reception the bill
would get in the senate It's fate
there seems doubtful
The plans of the house leaders had
not been wholly disclosed today, but
it was apparent that the bill to de-
fend the excise tax law now realting
to corporations so as to include co
partnerships and individuals was TO
be urged upon the house ahead of the
bill TO put sugar on the free list The
latter bill will, of course, share in
the debate ON the so-called income
tax for it was to make up the deficit
of more than s50,000,000 to be lost in
customs revenue ON sugar that the
new taxing measure was devised
The democratic leaders want to be
sure that the deficit will be provided
for before the duty is removed.
The new plan Of the democrats took
their depublican colleagues entirely
by surprise. Many of them had not
recovered sufficiently to be willing to
talk for publication. Everybody agreed
that the debates in the house and
senate on so radical change in the
method of raising government reve-
nues would be the stormiest Of re-
cent years. The constitutionality of
the new plan, it was said, would be
attacked by some representatives and
senators, although the democratic
leaders in the house claim the meas
ure has been so drawn as to comply
with the supreme court decision up
holding the corporation tax law. In
the senate it is said that in all prob
ability party alignments will be bro
ken, although party leaders make no
such concession publicly.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
member of the senate finance commit
tee, expressed doubt if any change in
the tariff on sugar would make any
difference to the consumer. He said
the income tax proposition was lost
in the supreme court of the United
States by very much of divided
court" and that the connstitutionality
of an income tax was different mat
ter to determine.
Personally" he added, 81 am in
clined to think that congress has the
power to levy such tax"
Senator Bacon, Of Georgia, who did
not attempt to speak for his party as
he had no opportunity to talk with
any senators regarding the bill, pre-.
dicted that if the bill passed the
house it would find Sufficient sup
port in the senate"

BODIES OF MEN


recrudescence of disorder occurred to
day when a detachment of artillery
headed by band marched to the
palace of Duke Kuei Hsian, father
of the empress dowager, and shelled
down the gate, They looted much
property and burned a portion of the
palace. 4sntf
Although parties of soldiers belong
ing to the army commanded by Chang
Huai, Chi last night were engaged
themselves in looting, today they
fought the looters in the outskirts
of the city. Prisoners they took were
summarily decapitated and many
headless bodies are lying in the
streets.
In the distant part of the west city
considerable trouble occurred Whole
streets of shops were looted and
many houses were set on fire. The
civilians have armed and fortified pri-
ate premises while barricades were
erected in the streets.
The mutineers who left Peking for
pao Ting Flu yesterday and whom
Yuan Shi Kai ordered to be arrested
or killed, have been Joined by many
of the soldiers there. They have loot
ed a great part of Pao Tin Flu and
burned large areas, Feng Tai, 22
miles from Peking, on the railroad
to Tien Tsin, was looted by another
gang of mutineers. British troops
guarding the railroad there protected
the women and children, but the mutt
neers burned the railway station
and held up a train, robbing many
Chinese passengers. Yung Ping Flu,
where the American troops are guard
ing the railroad to Chin Wang Tao,
also was looted.
The foreign ministers here after a
conference have decided to bring into
Peking all the available foreign
troops stationed in adjacent ports in
China. A force of 1000 troops of va
rious nationalities will arrive here
tomorrow.
1t is evident that all the soldiers Of
the northern Chinese army are in
agreement in the pillaging movement.
They are under the belief that the
coming of the republican delegates
from Marking to Yuan Shi Kai means
the dismissal of the northern troops
from the service. The delegates tele.
graphed today to General Ii Yuen
Heng, commander of the republican
troops at Nankingg and vice president
of the republic, to bring republican
army to Peking to restore order.
The government is unable at pres
ent to cope with the situation aud
the foreign ministers here are dis.
cussing concerted action. Yuan Shi
Kai promised to pardon all returning
mutineers, but has not yet received
any response. The populace has been
notified that all persons found in the
streets tonight after o'clock will be
shot
Many missionaries have been
slaughtered by the mutineers in Pao
Ting Flu, according to a report re
ceived heer today. 1t is thought prob
able, however, in we'll informed cir
cles, that only one or two have been
killed. 1t is believed they are Roman
Catholics.

ulsoory 6f she femNerance fifht in Arkansas.

Till about thirty years ago the liquor traffic had a statewide .'option'' on liquor selling in Arkansas, and they sold it every where. You could not find "a wide place in the road" without a ''grog shop" there. They sold liquor galore. And they ruined men. women, boys and girls, and homes by the thousands every year. This havock of hum anity becomes 50 great, and the name of Arkansas so odious that the good people said: If we don't redeem the state from the liquor traffic wesare all forever ruined. :" So they went to work for the only thing they could hope for, '''local option" and that on a very small scale. We secured what is known as The Three Mile Law, :" that is to petition the saloon away from our churches and schools by a radius of three miles. thus to protect our children in their studies, and our people in their worship form the ravages and insults of the liquor traffic. And every time we would undertake to petition the saloon away from these sacred places, the liquor men would fight us on every inch of the ground. They would employ the best legal talent, and often defeat i,s,. and make it impossible for us to protect oar children and worshippers form the dis turbance and evils of the saloon. Then we worked for and sob- tained "local option" by Town ship" By this law, the elector might vote the saloon out of the township only. And in this con- tention the liquor fellows fought us with all their might, but we won. Then we began work for and obtained local option" by the county. In this the liquor fellows were rampant. and fought us to the bitter end. This, they said, will never work. If you don't let us sell liquor some where in the county, we will sell it any way. We will run blind tigers. and that would be awful. But we obtained local option'' by the county. and under this law we have wrought well anl successfully, but the liquor fellows continue to fight Us and make desperate efforts every two years at the general elections to take back counties that we have carried dry to the wet column. But we have made constant gains. until now we have 64 dry counties out of the 75 counties of the state. So there are only eleven counties
 in Arkansas where they can gel a state license to sell liquor al all. Those eleven wet counties
 are eleven black spots on the
 otherwise fair face of our great
 state. Then let every man who
 loves God, home, and native
 land, go mp to the polls on the
 9th of September with a ballot
 pure and clean and wipe thosf
 eleven black spots from the state,
