Beauties and Comforts Of the Spacious Mansion, Get

an automobile ever at ones command.
When the President or any member of
his family desires a walk or ride In the
country il is necessary only to don suit

be whisked away to some point In the
suburbs from which the ride or tramp Is
started. The automobile either waits
there or proceeds to some designated rem
devious and picks them up at the APP

the White House. In this way no time
is lost traversing the familiar ground
through city streets which most people
need to cover to get to the woods or rural

has not always had automobiles at its
disposal, finds the convenience most al

There is a structure which
every graduate from our
school is building, yourg and
old, rich and poor, each one
for himself. It is called
character and every act of
your lives is a store for this
structure. If day by day
you are careful to build your
lives with pure, upright deeds,
at the end you will stand a
fair temple, honored by God
and man. But as one Teak
will sink a ship, and one aaW
break a chain, SO one mean,
dishonorable act or word will
forever leave its impress and
work it's influence on vour
character. Then let the sew
eral deeds unite to form day
and one by one the days grow
into noble years, and the
years as they slowly pass will
raise at last a beautiful edihce
enduring forever to your
praise, and you will cherish
with the utmost tenderness
the memories Of your school
life. The old school house,
the familiar walks about the
place, the desk upon which
you wrote your name, all i'll

position could not hslp but

he had "the hope, almost
amounting to absolute belief,
that free wool will be better

monopoly on WOOL In sup
port Of this he added "remem-
Der the case of hides. The
cattle industry was alarmed
some years ago when the
tariff OF hides was removed.
But since hides were placed
on the free list they have sold
at a higher price than when
they were "protected." Hides

The Town That Just Grows.

some towns that Just grew
like Topsy. They are not
numerous (for towns that are
left to grow just die). but they
afford interesting examples.
There were reasons. why
they just grew They we E

The streets are ram bling
because thev, like the town,
just grew.
The houses are out Of line
AM out Of repair, because
they, like the streets, Just
grew,
The people are often shift
less and poor, because they,

Heaven help the town that
Just grows. It must have
had great natural advantages
to have just grown in compe-
tition with liver towns. But
it lacked reai people. 1t
could, with these self evident
advantages, have been SO
much better, brighter, bigger.
But the people were willing
to let tjust grow.
It might have been SO much
cleaner, weather., happier. It
might have been a rose; but
it Just grew-and the thing
that just grows IS a weed.
Its people sent away for

TAFT SAYS j. s.
SHOULD OWN ROADS
Sends Congress Report on Pro-
posed Alaskan Lines.
TWO ARE DECIDED UPON
Commission Recommends Building of
Carriers From Pacific Ocean to
Yukon and kuskokWim Riv-
ers, to Cost $35,ooo,ooo.

Washington, Feb. 7-Accompanying
a report of the commissioners who
have been conducting an examina-
ton in Alaska with the idea of recon-
mending routes for the building of
railroads, President Taft on Thursday
sent a message to congress in which
he favored governmental ownership
and private operation of the lines
which may be constructed.
The commission recommends the
construction Of two railroads in Alas
ka, which shall connect tide water on
the Pacific ocean with the two great
inland water ways, the Yukon and the
kuskokwin rivers. The railroads thus
recommended will constitute two indie
pendent system, involving 733 miles
of new construction, at a cost of
$35,00G,000 The commission in its
report states in conclusion that this
development should be undertaken at
once, and prosecuted with vigor; that
it cannot be accomplished without
providing for the railroads herein
recommended, or some system
which will insure low transportation
charges and the consequent rapid set
tlemen5 of this new land and the utili-
zation of its great resources"
President Taft in his message says:
The necessary inference from the en-
tire report is that, in the judgment of
the commission, its recommendation
can certainty be carried out only if
the government builds or guarantees
the construction cost of the railroads
recommended.
IF the government is to guarantee
the principal and interest of the con.
struction bonds, it seems clear that it
should own the roads, the cost of
which it really pays. This is true
whether the government itself should
operate the road or should provide
for their operation by lease or operat-
ing agreement. l am very much OPP
posed to government operation, but |
believe that government ownership.
with private operation under lease, is
the proper solution of the difficulty
here presented"

INCOME TAX LAW WINS
rhirty-Eight States Ratify the Six
teenth Amendment

rhirty-Eight States Ratify the Six
teenth Amendment.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Taxation of in
comes is now constitutional. This
was made possible by the ratification
of the sixteenth amendment to the
federal Constitution on Monday,
which reads as follows:
Article XVI.-The congress shall
have power to lay and collect tax on
incomes, from whatever source de-
rived, without apportionment among
the states, and without regard to any
census or enumeration"
Delaware, Wyoming and New Mexi-
co, indorsing the income tax amend
ment through their respective legisla-
lures, completed a list of SO states
that have approved it, two more than
the three-fourths necessary for its final
adoption.
Its exact terms have not been de-
cided upon, but it is believed it will ex-
empt all incomes below $4,000 or ST.
600, and will provide a tax of one per
cent. upon the majority of personal
incomes that do not run to an exces-
sive figure.
The income tax will be designed to
supplant the present corporation tax
and will apply to the incomes of indi
viduals, firms and corporations.

TURKS LOSE 5000 IN FIGHT
WITH BULGARS AT GALLIPOLl
sombardment of AdrianopIe contin-
ues-End of War Is Believed to
Be Near.

London, Feb. S.-The limited news
which is received by the press b,l-
reaus contains but little information
as to what is actually taking place
in the war between the Balkan allies
and Turkey in the near east.
Both sides claim successes at arms,
the Turks reported as saying that
their troops have occupied Tchatalja
and three other villages and have
pushed their outposts up to the Bull
garian front, while a Sofia dispatch
declares that the Bulgarians are gain
ing ground and have repulsed scout
ing parties with severe losses to the
Turks.
In the vicinity of Gallipoli the Bull
garians are reported to have captured
the Turkish entertainments at Bulair,
driving the Turks inside the line ap-
parently without important fighting.
The bombardment of Adrianople con-
tinues in desultory fashion. Grand
Vizier Shefket Pasha on Thursday told
the Daily Mail correspondent at Con
stantinople that the powers are con-
tlnulng their enOrts Tor peace, out the
situation is not clear.
A ConstantinopIe dispatch to the
Daily News states that in the fighting
on the Gallipoli peninsula the Bull
garians won all along the line. The
Turks on their own admission lost
5000 men killed or wounded.
Notwithstanding Bulgaria's warlike
attitude at Gallipoli, Adrianople and
Tchatalja the diplomats of Europe are
convinced that the war will not last
long.
The financial embarrassment of all
the combatants and the loss of en-
thusiasm for the war by the peoples
of the countries involved lead to the
belief that peace negotiations will
soon be resumed.
