HIGH Taxes AT Sea Isle

o. 1. Black well, president of the Cou-
nty Tax board, gave a plain and time
ly talk to property owners who assem-
bled at the City Hall Wednesday, to
ask for reduction in their taxes. He
told them that Sea Isle must mend her
financial fences or suffer. The rate is
up to the limit and valuations must of
necessity be raised to meet the demands
for He told them that the
city must curtail expenses or suffer an
additional increase next year.
Neither the Assessor or the present
city officials are directly TO blame for
the condition of affairs. 1t Is a night
mare that has been growing with the
years and 1t Is a waste Of energy to at
tempt to place the blame. The thing
TO do is to apply q remedy.
What Sea Isle needs Is more houses
on its vacant lots.
The city owns one hundred or more
lots in various sections.
Offer these lots free to persons who
will build houses Of a fixed minimum
value within the next year.-Sea Isle
City Review.

A danger with the income tax prin-
ciple working, is that the already ex-
travagant national and state adminis-
trations, the fact that money and more
and more money may be easily raised
by lowering exemptions and increasing
the size of the income tax collected, we
may get more and more extravagant
and lose sight of the principle Of econ-
omy entirely. We appear to be drift
ing that way.
In some countries Of Europe the peo-
pie are taxed almost out OF existence
to support royalty, big armies and IA
vies and the government in general.
II we copy Europe too much we may
reach the same end.
Under the protective tariff plan of
raising revenues the government was
obliged to keep outgoes within the linn
1t of the With the income
tax possibilities Legislators may not see
any need of curtailment anywhere.

Recited Lincoln's Address

Wednesday, November 10Th, was the
fiftieth anniversary of the delivery of
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress. This wonderful address is not
only regarded for its lofty sentiments
of patriotism, but 1t is universally
recognized as n of the great master
pieces Of English prose. Upon recon-
m%endation of DR.. Kendall, commits
sioner Of education, the pupils of the
high school committed the address to
memory and recited it on Wednesday
afternoon. The pupils responded nobly
and gave the recitation a good whole
some, patriotic ring. The address as
rendered by President Lincoln at Get
tysburg on November 10Th, 1868, is as
follows:
"Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth ON this continent
a new nation, conceived In Liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now we are
engaged In a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and SO dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that fieidas a final
resting place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live.
1t is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedi-
cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow, this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here
consecrated it far above our poor power
to add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we say
here, but 1t can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living, rather,
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far SO nobly advanced. 1t is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us-that from
these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that W. here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died In vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have a
new birth Of freedom, and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish from the
earth.n

Prince Leopold, the late regent OF

ceiving many guests and keeping open
house, to which came In turn officers,
scientists, artists, manufacturers-aD
the best society in Munich. Himself
the wielder of an excellent knife and
fork, he took the pleasures of the ia
BILE seriously and desired that all his
guests should do the same.
Some weeks before his last illness
he fell asleep at a dinner party imme-
diately after the first course. His
guests were restrained by respect for
etiquette from waking him, but con-
tinued their conversation In low tones.
The servants did not dare to continue
serving the dinner. The prince con-
tinued to sleep and SOC began to
snore. The guests continued thereon
v~ersation In somewhat louder tones,
but the prince slept for two hours, dur
ing which time no one left his place.
The guests sat famished in the same
room with a mnrvelously appointed
dinner.
At length Prince Leopold awoke. He
gave a hurried glance round the table
and saw only q number Of well man.
nered guests successfully pretending
to have noticed nothing. Persuaded
that his doze had passed completely
unobserved. he said, "Now let US go
and take coffee"
The guests rose accordingly and pro
ceeded to the drawing room. They
were served with coffee. liqueurs and
cigars. The prince, thoroughly re-
freshed by his sleep, INDUCED In a
great deal of excellent conversation
which lasted till midnight. The party
then broke up, and the guests depart
ed, famished with hunger, with an Off
cial smile upon their lips.

1t is extremely probable that In addi-
tlon to the income tax required by the
government, many states will soon fol-
low the lead of Wisconsin and make q
personal levy to meet the constantly
increasing expenses, but 1t will not be
until the small incomes are reached
that the masses will rebel against it.
w hear much about Equal taxation /"
but as a matter of fact legislation is
trending toward one rate Of taxation for
one class and another rate for other
classes. 1t appears to be the thought
with the great majority that those with
the largest incomes should pay the
largest percentage Of tax. We find no
fault with this view, but 1t is not in &C
cord with the pledges of nearly every
candidate who comes up for Office, that
he will work for Equal taxation with
out exemption" The fact is that the

 'There were days of anxiety for those about the young captain. He was long unconscious and then fol- lowed a fever. The left arm, with which he had so gallantly saved the girl from among the trampling horses. was broken and cut, but youth and 8 good constitution triumphed at last, and shortly after Sherman had start ed on his march to the sea, Capt. Tom Lansing and Lucie Gill, his bride, the girl he had brought from Ros- we'll behind him, and who had nursed him through his fight with death, had arrived at Lansing's home, in au- tumn. on the shady banks of the river Des Plaines." From Lansing!" Lucie almost screamed. "Why that's your name! And Lucie Gill-that's my name Lucie Gill Bell. My father had a cousin named Lucie Gill whom he loved so much that he named me for her, but he died when I was a baby and of course never told me of her history"

 'Of course. Don't you know I was born in Marietta?" questioned Lucie Bell.
 "Yes, know," returned Tom Lan- sing. But this was many years be- fore you were born."
 "A young woman who stood at the gate to the beautiful grounds I told you of, watching with amused face the passing regiment of double riders, when she saw the young captain and his charge, rushed screaming between fright and joy, toward them, and then something happened. The captains horse plunged and reared, and the young officer adroitly lifted the maid en to the ground and to the arms of her cousin, the young woman who had come from the gate. But other of the horses taking, contagiously, the fright, plunged against him, and rider and horse fell among rough-shod hoofs.
 Quickly the spot was cleared, but the young captain was taken up, un- conscious, and by direction of the two girls was borne to the grand house among the trees and roses.

ALFALFA AND HOGS

In the mail today was a letter from a man in Nebraska. To the letter was pinned a clipping from paper in California about this department and what we are try ing to do in Arkansas. This Ne braska gentleman writes that he wants 360 acres of Arkansas land for himself and son, and that they propose to raise alfalfa and hogs. Those are the kind of peO- pie to build up the State. Let us hope that more such men may be attracted to Arkansas and raise alfalfa and hogs.
 There is nothing that will beat this combination, except to add soy beans, COW peas and Spanish peanuts, Every forty acre farm III AL hdllSdS w III Su ppOl U d lotl S, V family in comfort and give them all the alvautages of education etc if utilized in growing these crops and hogs, and milk cows to consume them. Try a few hogs, and few acres of alfalfa, soy beans and COW peas and peanuts. you will be convinced
 Speaking of hogs reminds us u at now is the time to began to look after them. The hot weath- CT is here, and they need shade and pure water. Start in time and look after these things. Give the hogs plenty of charcoal Al so salt and sulphur. A good thing is mixture of coal, salt and sulphur, where they can get all they want. Keep some past ure for them if you can, and do

not let them run in the woods where they may be exposed to cholera. Take few burlap sacks and wrap them around posts or trees and nail them there. Then pour coaloil on u e sacks. Let the hogs get to them and they will rub against the oil ed sacks, and thus keep themsel- yes free from lice. If you cant do this then dip or spray them and kill the lice. If you don't the lice may kill the hogs.
 Look after the COWS now and give them some feed if they are giving milk. It will pay by in- creasing the milk yield. Coed mixers should have good atten- t on If they do not get it they soon fall back in yield and are no longer good mixers. The poor milkers should be turned into beef without delay.
 Do not neglect your hay crop. Put in peas enough for hay if you haven't any thing else. Now is the time to cultivate. The weath> CT is hot, plants will grow, and moisture is needed. Keep stirr ing the top soil, only three inches deep. Kill the weeds and grass and make dust mul h by shal- low cultivation. That will retain the moisture and make the crop grow and stand the drowth if one comes.

TECUMSEH BY PROXY

Tom Lansing and Lucille Bell were strolling around the equestrian statue of grand old "Tecumseh'' Sherman, in the moonlight of May. Near them lowered the granite facade of the treasury, wonder twinkled the lights of the White House.
 "Sit there" he said. For with his handkerchief he had switched away the dust from block of stone where stood, in real bronze, one of the sol diers that, at quadrangle corners, guard the Leader to the Sea-"
 As he seated himself beside her he said:
 When Sherman was leading his le- zion through Georgia a handsome young captain of cavalry regiment had remarkable episode. A cavalry brigade had captured the town of Ros- well, on the Chattahoochee, at the ex- treme left of the army, and Roswell was simply town of cotton and wool en factories. The exigencies of war demanded the burning of the factories and they were committed to the flames, but what disposition to make of the thousand or more pretty girls of the confederate looms became a serious question. Gallant old Tecum- sch was equal to the occasion, how ever. He ordered a regiment of bold sabreurs to the front and directed that each trooper and officer should take @ pretty maid upon an impro- vised billion, behind him on his steed.
 "Tho girl that rode with her arms about the waist of the handsome young captain was the prettiest one of the thousand, and they were near ly all remarkably pretty southern girls who were patriotically working to clothe the soldiers of the south Moreover, she was of good family
