Rush In, Plead Guilty.

Pocahontas, Oct. 1.-E. New ton Ellis, deputy prosecuting at- torney for Randolph county, has been overrun with cases in the civil courts here the past two days. The rush was brought about by a number of boys from the northern part of the county coming in to plead guilty in disturbing a gathering of German citizens at Engleberg on July 5. Some of the boys paid fines of $30 rather than await the action of the next Grand jury.
 On last July 5 a barbecue and celebration was given at Engle- berg. Some young men pro- ceeded to take charge of the eel ebration and run it to suit themselves.

The Weaker Sex.

Over in Hot Springs they had a terrific fire. Residences went up in flames, while many people lost all they possessed in this world in the cracking, blood red licking tongues. While the fire ragged the telephone lines in- to the city were busy, as relative after relative anxiously clamored for news of loved ones and their possessions in the city.
 The flames spread rapidly and seemed bent on taking in the telephone exchange and destroy ing it with other buildings. On ly a freak change in the gale that was blowing at the time saved the company's exchange, and even then the walls of the building were heated by the flames. In the building were a handful of girls busily operat- ing the switchboard. The man. ager knew most of them person. ally. Many, he knew, would be  homeless before the next day dawned. The homes of others were at the moment being threatened by the onrushing fire. He called to them, telling them all to go home at once, and try to save what they could. All refused. One girl said she guessed they could do more re- lieving the minds of anxious friends outside of the city than by attempting to save their own belongings. All declared they

The Income Tax.

Secretary of State w. J. Bry- an in his "Commoner" has the following signed statement rela- tive to the federal income tax:
 "The readers of The Common CT will, I am sure, join with me in congratulating Congress upon the forward step it has taken in the levying of an income tax.
 "The house bill provides for a rate running from 1 per cent on incomes above $3,0OO to 4 per cent on incomes above $100,000. The Senate bill provides for tax ranging from 1 per cent to 5 per cent on incomes from $3, 900 to $1OO, ,O0O and higher rates up- on incomes above $1OO,OOO, so that incomes above $500,O0O beara total tax of z per cent.
 When it is remembered that the income tax law of 1894 pro- vided for a per cent flat rate on incomes above $4,000, it will be seen that a decided advance has been made toward the equal izing of taxation.
 "The Senate schedule is not likely to be materially altered in conference, so that we can now use the income tax provisions as a measure of the progress that has been made in the country in public sentiment toward distrib- uting more equitably the bur dens OfNtaxation.
 "The world is surely moving when Congress advances thus boldly in the matter of taxation, and the extent of the revolution that has already taken place in the Senate is shown by the fact that it increased the rates fixed by the house."

keeping up with the trend of events. President Wilson refus- ed to recognize Gen. Huerta, of Mexico. In this he was not treading on new ground. Not quite, but nearly, forty years ago Porfirio Diaz, a revolutionist, ov- erthrew the administration of
 President Lerdo, and President
 Hayes, a level-headed American citizen from Ohio, refused to re- cognize him until after consti- tutional election was held. Diaz was very popular among Ameri- can capitalists, who were exploit ing the sister republic, and it has often been said, and with much show of reason, that in recogniz- ing Diaz we paid too great price for what we received. Pres ident Madero was unpopular with American investors, and they were anxious to bring about his overthrow. It would be too gross a charge to bring against them to say that they were in fa- vor of his assassination, but cer- tainly they did rejoice when their friend, Huerta, got rid of his rival, and assumed control. Through theirs newspapers and other agencies they have been making a strenuous demand for the recognition of Huerta, and President Wilson has steadfastly opposed this policy, depending on what he calls, "the steady pres sure of moral force," and this seems to be dominating in- f1uence at the present time. Our American exploiters were we'll represented by ex-Ambassador Wilson. He was their mouth piece, defender and advocate, and he lacked but very little of in- volving this country in serious entanglements. Thanks to the good sense of the American peo- pie his machinations have been put to naught, and the people on the other side of the Rio Grande will be treated fairly. They must make atonement for their own mistakes, and they must
 settle their disputes among themselves, but this government
 will not align itself with either
 one faction or the other. The
 moral sense of the American
 people is behind Prsidnet Will
 son, and this is a paramount in-
 fuence that cannot be ignored Memphis News-Scimitar.

would stay until the building ac- tually caught fire.
 And stay they did; but the building did not catch fire. Af- terward when one girl was ask ed why she did it she said that anyway she thought she was safer in the exchange than on the streets during the fires pro- gress, and that her own home would probably have been burn ed anyhow. Not a word of her own sacrifices to be loyal to her employers and to her city. From time to time the girls, as they worked in the threatened ex- change, had gone to the window for brief spell, and thus many had even witnessed their own homes in flames, but all resolute- ly returned to their work.
