the income tax to such percentage as
he may consider proper.
The bill approved by the committee
does not limit him in any particular.
To Avert Bond Issues.
The ways and means committee be-

the revenues derived from all sources
should be insufficient after the enact
ment of the new tariff bill to meet
| the expenses of the government. the
administration will not be forced to

money required. All the president
will have to do will be to issue new
scale of indpme tax rates.
Nothing is more unpopular in this

POISONED CANDY FOR
CHILDREN

Or1lLDhEN
What is believed to have been
an attempt to murder children
with poisoned candy in the FASH
ionable section of Atlantic City,
N j., the other day was frustrated
by two servants. The domestics
noticed that "A man was acting
strangely. Children were coming
toward him, and he laid down a
nice box of chocolates and then ran
away. The children picked up the
box, opened it, and were about to
eat the chocolates when the ser
wants ran to them and took the
box away from them. Thry told
a policeman the suspicious circum-
stances and he took the candies to
headquarters, where each chocolate
was found to contain sufficient
bichloride of mercury to kill a
person. Four policemen were sent
to hunt for the man, who was not
found. There is little doubt that
the man was insane. No one in
his right mind, with no motive for
doing SO, could plan the murder
of sweet children. There is a good
deal of poisoned candy put in the
way of children for the destruction
of their morals nowadays, and
horrible to say, put there on pur-
pose for the money there is in it.
The dangerous moving picture,
the low dance, the penny in the
slot, the saloons which boys in
their teens may enter, are all boxes
of poisoned candy put in the path
way Of the boys and girls of our
land. Fortunately there are par
ents and pastors and teachers and
friends, who love God and their
fellows, who run to the children
and warn them against the poison
and save them from it.-Christian
Herald.

Another heart-rending tragedy
OF the sea, in some respects even
more pitifully dramatic than the
loss of the Titanic in April, 1912
shocked the world on Sunday morn
ing. The loss of life ON the Vol
turno, slowly burned to the waters
edge in mid. ocean, estimated at
something less than $50, was only
a tenth of the Iitanic's toll. but it
is made more pathetic by the fact
that had it not been for the storm
that ragged while the Volturno was
burning every soul aboard might
have been saved, No less than ten
ships heard the wireless calls for

WISHING VS.. WORKING

The wishing was delight to
usin childhood. Our infantile imag.
nation delighted in'dwelling upon
what would happen if we possessed
the magic circlet.
Today we are older. No longer
do we linger in the Land of Wishing
We know that what we have and
what we may get is to come from
work, by work and with work.
We have biblical authority for
the statement that wishing will not
increase a mans height, and expert
ence has taught us that desire will
not !of itself add to our bank ac-
counts.
The foolish boy in Arabian
Nights who let himself be carried
off into the land of dreams so eff
fectively that he kicked over his
glassware and only stock in trade,
was wisher. He dwelt in Dream
land until the inevitable rude
awakening came.
Delaware City cannot afford to
dream. 1t takes work to build
cities, just as truly as it does a
business success.
Unless the citizens get together
through Board of Trade, which
is the line of least resisten ce, the
natural method of city building,
they can dream and drerm, ON and
on and on, forever, but Delaware
City will continue to be just a
small town "a delightful place to
live in, nevertheless, a town, not a
city.
Cities are built where men want
them, and want must be accompan-
led by work. 1t is no easier to
build billion dollar city than a
billion dollar business. In some
ways it is harder.
And when a town has been al
lowed to slumber undisturbed for
years it is apt to be like Rip Van
Wrinkle when it wakes-just a little
out of tune with the times. A
Board of Trade properly financed
and correctly planned and organ
lied, beats dynamite for town
awakening, Index. Appropriated
