The pennsylvania state tax on hard
coal selt out of the state means an
addition of an average of six cents a
ton to the price at the mine and will
yield the state four and a half millions
annually. One-half of the total will be
apportioned to the counties producing
the coal. The other half will be sub
ject to use by legislative appropriations.
City aldermanic boards will have entire
control of the sums assigned to the
cities. The tax will not alone material
ly reduce local taxation, but will in
some cases eliminate it entirely. An
swer to objections is claimed in the
taxing power granted to states in the
case of some other products. But the
economical status of coal is different
tnquestionably, the tax is oppressive,
and the consumer is its victim. 1t is
selfish tax. 1t does not even stimu-
late domestic industry. 1t merely in
creases cost to the man least able to
pay for it, for the poorest purchaser
will be the one to feel most heavily the
extra burden. And IT means dire in
crease in the already overwhelming cost
of living.

The report of Governor Fletcher S
special commission to investigate the
state telephone situation does not i'm
press one as being document based
upon thorough sitting of the facts in
the case. Indeed, it appears to be
hastily prepared and its conclusions
expressive of the wishes of the trainers
rather than the actual findings This
opinion is strengthened after reading
the statement of the New England
Telephone company's counsel published
in yesterday afternoon S papers. There
IS little doubt in the public mind that
the telephone situation in Vermont
needs investigation, but hurried and
superficial survey of conditions amounts
to nothing.

All that Thomas A. Edison has said
of the possibilities of the moving pic
lures is coming true. The Bible stu
dents in their conference at Springfield
voted Monday almost unanimously to
promote Bible study by the utilization
of motion pictures. The fine feature
of the plan is that there shall be no
admission fee in connection with the
exhibitions. The whole scheme is de-
vised to spread the teaching of the Cos
pei by what is considered the most far
reaching means, and in a way that can
reach the greatest number of people in
the most entertaining way.

hand. The Randolph Herald says it is
known that Senator William p. DiIling-

Republican. Gov. Allen M. Fletcher

TRIBUTE TO DIR. E. TRUM-
BULL LEE.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 27.-There is
general sorrow in this city and in
Williamsburg over the death of E.
Trumbull Lee, chairman of the Cen
eral Assembly Temperance Commit
tee and who has held this position
since October 20, 1907. DR.. Lee died
at his home in Williamsburg on May 4.
The funeral was held Tuesday, May
6, in the First Presbyterian church of
Williamsburg, of which he was pastor.
The Temperance Committee attended
in a body and Rev. Drs. Reed and
Waters of the committee took part
in the service. At special meeting
of the committee on the day of the
funeral the following action was taken:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to call Rev E. Trumbull Lee,

Whereas, DIR. Lee was an earnest
and honored servant who had been
elevated to the Craftsmanship of the
Permanent Committee on Temper
ance of the Presbyterian church in
the U. S. A., and
Whereas, 1t was our privilege and
pleasure to have been associated with
him in that service for nearly six
years; therefore be it
Resolved, That said committee
expresses its sense of loss which the
committee, the church and the cause
have sustained in his removal; its
appreciation of the courage, candor
courtesy and fidelity with which he
discharged the duties of his office, and
to extend to his family its profound
sympathy in their bereavement; and
be it further.
Resolved, That record of this action
be spread upon the minutes of this
committee, and copy sent to the
family of the deceased.

Early in January, DR.. Lee went to
Clifton Springs, N. Y, where a surgi-
cal operation revealed an internal
ailment which the physicians frankly
told him was incurable With forti-
tude, resignation, and cheerfulness

fees to Strong City.


C. w. Kouns, general manager Of
the Santa Fe at Topeka is the most
important man In the world to the
residents of Emporia-for a few
weeks at least. The Santa Fe rail-
way is surveying a plat of ground at
Strong City. In preparation for what
is construed to mean that the road
will move its roundhouse and shops
and probably offices EN-
poria to the newly surveyed location.
The effect Of the preliminary ac-
ton on the part of the railroad has
started another town row in EN-
pory. 1t seems that Emporia has
passed an ordinance requiring a sec
ond subway-an expensive affair for
the railway company to build. Then
William Allen White heard that there
was a chance of the road transferring
its division headQuarter-a demand
for the repeal of the ordinance is now
made.
Emporia is greatly benefited by the
Santa Fe. In proportion it is as much
dependent upon the road as Topeka
1t has a $4,000 month payroll there
with 1000 employees and families di-
rectly dependent.
Officials in Topeka refuse to discuss
the matter. They admit that two sub

they will not announce q removal to

VISITOR FROM THE SKY
Meteor Falls Near Two Men Knocking
Them Down.

Boston, Nov. "A meteorite dripped into
nearly striking two young men who say
the visitor from space passed within two
feet of them. Both were thrown down
and overcome by fumes from the white
hot mass. The eyebrows of one were
nearly singed of. The meteorite buried
itself in the earth ten feet.
The young men are John Mcdonald and
member Of t Hoen senior o o Class OF the rs
Maiden high school. In support of their
statement the two point to the jagged
mass in the hole in the park Both COM
planned of violent attack of nausea. This
they thought was caused by inhaling the
fumes of the flaming mass. Both say
fore it struck the earth and thought it
was ordinary falling star. Scientists
of both Tufts and Harvard college were
notified and will dig up the meteorite to-
day for examination.

1t has come to pass that the step
mother tree has been induced to take
into her lap the Yeakling of the plant
world. The small plant Of which she
is not the mother has been bound to
her breast. THE vigor of her strong
limbs has been diverted into the spind-
ling stalk. That stalk had grown pro-
digiously and accomplished in two
years what formerly took eight.
Such is one of the most recent ac-
complishments of the Department of
Agriculture. These men, who juggle
with living plants and make them do
things of whichsNature never dreamed
have just accomplished the march, the
most advanced thing in plant culture.
1t is to plant culture what the trans
posing of human organs is to surgery.
It has proved itself in the last few
years, particularly in the work of de-
veioping new citrous fruits that are
neither lemons nor oranges nor grape
fruit. ~

to wait in an experiment.
At just this time the new method
of diverting the vigor of trees into a

Gus two-year-old lemon tree. All the
strength Of that tree was diverted into
the tender shoot. In two years IN

of it's quality. Further. they were
supplied with additional seeds with
which to start new generations Of

of plants is of inestimable value to the
scientific developer of fruits. But
now the time is to be cut to one fourth
and the probabilities are that results
will be, in the coming generation, null

accomplished in this way: The seeding
is grown naturally until it is three
or four weeks old. It is a little plant
