But they have work to do and they
must prepare for what's in sight
ahead. If that work was not in sight

not be setting aside millions upon mil

and terror. Ten years to eXpiate for

Why, he was not getting a thousand

JOHN ALVIN, PARIAH
To All Except His Mother, Whose
Love Endured Through
All His Trials.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Ten years in prison take a good
deal out of mans life that can
never be replaced or made up again.
and when John Alvin found the gates
OF the state penitentiary barred be-
hind him instead of in front of him,
he felt acutely the gap that had to be
brtdged between the Alvin OF 1902.

his firms money into the bottomless
pit Of speculation, and the Alvin of
1912, prem2turely bowed, embittered
by brooding over his planned revenge.
and walking with the peculiar gait
which made him the object of suspi-
cion to every passing policeman.
He had a new suit of fairly good blue
serge, a new hat, new pair Of shoes,
and fifty-one dollars In his pocket, be
sides a ticket for Cranston.
But Alvin was not going to Grams
ton. He was going to Myrtle, two hun
dred miles in the opposite direction,
and he had asked for a free ticket to
Cranstop to blind the spies OF Howell,
his enemy. He meant to kin Howell,
and thus to wipe out the disgrace
which he had brought upon him.
What happened after that he did not
care. There was no one to whom he
mattered His mother might have
cared, but Alvin was confident that
she was dead. 1t was ten years since
she had seen or written to HMM
brief, since he entered the peniten.
tiary. And a mothers anger seldom
lasts ten years.
All the way in the train to Myrtle,
Alvin was busy bridging over the
hiatus in his life. He had been just
an ordinary clerk in the bank in his
home town, engaged to an ordinary
girl who, nevertheless, seemed very
extraordinary in his eyes He was
just a weak foolish boy who, beliey-
ing that he saw a short cut to wealth,
had played with the banks money and
lost. Howell, the director, had prose
oHted, and, having considerable infiu.
ence had obtained for Alvin the SEN

ExTRAVAGANCE AND TAXES.

A valued exchange reasons on this
subject as follows:
Whatever one may think of the idea
of a federal income tax the amend
ment to permit which has just been APP
proved by the necessary number of
states-the thinking reader will agree
with the ideas propounded by Repre-
sentative Hull in regard to direct tax
alton and government extravaganza.
Mr., Hull believes that with an in
come or other direct tax, the people,
feeling the pressure directly on their
pocketbooks, will look more closely at
the outgo. That is true.
The greater part Of the taxes for the
support Of government it this country
city, state and national has for
years been raised indirectly. There
have been licenses, tariffs, fees, manu-
facturers taxes on products they sell,
corporation assessments and other
ways Of collecting which are not seen
or directly felt by the individual citizen.
But every one of these assessments
came out of the pocket of the people
They are all added to the prices the
people pay for their purchases, their
rents and their service. Nothing gets
by" the ultimate consumer.
But if instead of imposing these in
direct taxes; if instead of permitting
these people to add the taxes on their
commodities to the price and to add
enough TO make sure they are not pass
ing up anything; if instead of permit
ting tariff benehriaries to add to the
price of their products what the duty
would be II those products were mn
ported, il instead of this there We're
direct taxes the people would more
closely watch the outgo and much ex-
ravagance would cease
Indirect taxation means class of
privileged beneGciaries which adds the
licenses, tariffs and fees and something
more to the prices The higher the in-
direct taxes they pay the more they
can add The people pay the bin. That
has much to do with the high cost Of
living
Direct taxation means that the peo-
Pile pay their taxes and nothing more
and watch the expenditures that their
taxes not be high.

SEES PROSPECT FOR
ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION

San Diego Union: Returning from
three weeks stay in Arizona where
he has established two offices for the
sale of San Diego property, George E.
Buxton was fortunate enough to ride
on the first Golden State Limited train
that ran over the new section of the
Ell Paso & Southwestern system from
El Paso to Tucson. This is new link
in the Rock Island system that is be-
ing built towards the coast.
Mr.. Buxton adds that it is generally
understood that the Calumet & Ari-
zona Mining Company, after paying
$8,500,000 for mines in the 40 district
80 miles east of Yuma-has survey
ed railroad from Tucson to this sec
ton. With a railroad running within
such a short distance of Yuma, San
Diego's immediate chances for rail
road are materially increased.
"The enthusiasm for San Diego is
at fever heat in Arizona" says Mr..
Buxton. "They are all boosting for
us and claiming us as their future
port. Nine out of every ten have alb
solutely no doubt but that San Diego
will be the greatest city on the Pa
cific coast within the next few years.
No one ever mentions Los Angeles and
San Francisco is back number. They
prove their faith, too, by putting their
money into San Diego real estate.
have been attending to my interests in
Arizona for the last three weeks and
the San Diego real estate sales I have
made in my Office at Globe and Clifton
are more than satisfactory.
"The interests of Arizona are so vi
tally bound up with those of San Di-
ego and the opening of a railroad to
this port so essential to her develop
ment, that they are watching the
growth of the Rock Island interests
in the southwestern territory with
thanksgiving. The completion of this
new link in the railroad from Chicago
to the coast-between Ell Paso and
Tucson--and the survey of the road
from Tucson to within 80 miles of Yu-
ma, have been cause for great rejoic-
ing. The appointment of Thomas

Alcohol in Patent Medicines

Philadelphia Leader: There is an
impression that the pure food and
drug act reformed the patent medi-
cines, especially the large class known
as tonics. Recently Doctor Carl Ais
berg, chief of the bureau of chemis-
try, the successor to Doctor Wiley, Sc
lected at random $50 samples of
liquid proprietary preparations. Of
these 43 contained no alcohol, 81 con-
tained less than 10 per cent alcohol,
20 contained from 10 to 20 per cent
alcohol, II contained 20 to 80 per cent
alcohol, contained 40 to so per cent
alcohol and II contained more than so
per cent alcohol.
Thus the number of these medicines
were more alcoholic than whisky and
most of them were worse than tho
average drinks of a barroom. In
spite of all the enlightenment on the
matter there are hundreds of these
proprietary concoctions that are ruin
ing the nerves and digestions of ig-
norant people and making alcoholics
of persons who would consider it sin
full to drink ordinary liquor. AS
rule the alcoholic liquid put in these
medicines is cheap and wretched stuff.
Having these facts from official
sources it is strange that the sale of
the poisonous and harmful prepara-
tions should be directly abetted by adj
vertising admitted to the columns of
publications that appeal to the moral
elements of their communities.
But there are many others that
need a change of heart, and in the
meanwhile those who use patent medi-
cines ought to find out what they are
taking. 1t may be of course, that
some like it that way. Lincoln told
the story of the man who would not
drink, but who suggested that his host
might put in "a drap or two unbe-
knownst."

Schumacher, vice president and gener-
al manager of the railroads of the
Phelps Dodge system as president of
the Rock Island has been viewed as
significant.
The recent development of Arizona
is remarkable. The Calumet & Ari-
zona has completed new smelter at
Douglas at cost of $2,0OO,O0O; the
Arizona Copper Company is at work
on a smelter at Clifton costing S2,-
100000; the Inspiration Company at
Miami is spending $7,OOO,OO0 on it's
water developments, erection of a mill
and other necessary works; and the
United Verde of Jerome is spending
$3,500,000 on a new smelter seven
miles from the site of the present
plant. San Diego as the natural out
let for this territory is as much con-
cerned in its development as Arizona
itself.
"Arizona's good roads in particular
are being commented upon. Yuma
county has passed a bond issue of
100000 to build the section of the
great highway from Maricopa to the
California border. Work is in progress
on the section that runs from Clifton
through the Gila valley, past the
Roosevelt dam, through Phoenix to
Yuma; and also upon the state high
way from Douglas to the Grand
Canyon. 1t is thought that as
soon as the constitution of Arizona is
amended, $5,o0o,OoO lin bonds will be
issued for good roads. At present, the
amount it limited to $350,0O0."
