A Fine Suggestion.

well worthy of the consideration
of the business people of Charles

try.
Largely as our local tnanufac-
tories have contributed to the well
fare of the community. yet, funda-
mentally, this section depends on
the profitable development of the
farms.

including in its membership every

urer, professional man-in fact

town and county go ahead-there

than whom, by the way, few
people. have made deeper study
along practical lines of the possi-
bilities of up-to-date farming.
The day has gone by when the
scientific Teller" can be sneered
at.
Perhaps the most successful
horticulturist in this section was
laughed at few years ago, when
he proceeded to develop his newly
acquired lands along scientific
lines and in the light of his know
ledge of soil chemistry, etc.
Today his judgement is eagerly
sought by those who once made
light of his methods and what
tells the story more forcibly. is
the fact that as the result of his
inte1ligent1y directed effort, his
lands have not only been brought
to the highest stage of product
ion but put handsome balances
on the right side of his ledger,
sometimes when others were nett
ing losses. We are taxed directly
or indirectly to support the Exper-
iment Station, Department of Ag-
riculture, and other like institu-
tons which are ready and anxious
and willing to extend their advice
and assistance in solving farm
problems. Do we, as fully as we
should, avail ourselves of the
opportunity?

To our way of thinking Mr.. Richard
H. Edmonds the editor of the Manu-
facturers Record, has been great
benefactor to the people of the South.
He has done great work in taking
their mind off their infirmities, inform
ing them of their boandless richness
and pointing their way toward happi-
ness and prosperity. He has broken
down the memories and the passions of
a war and has stirred the people of the
southland into An activity that has
made them consequential in the busi-
ness activities of the nation. What
more could any man have done?
West Virginia may take unto itself a
special pride in this issue of the Manu-
facturers, Record. First, because no
southern state makes better indus

them-two men respected and loved
where they are known, have bad an
identity with this magnificent issue.
They are Mr.. Albert Phenis and Mr..

ginia, whose writings have eraced many

lived in the state at times, and counts
his friends by the number of his ac-

him, love him as asman of great worth

speciaI to this pewspaper.


Special to this newspaper.
The Democratic Tariff Bill. now pend
ing in Congress proposes to take some
Of the tax off of such articles as wool
ems, cottons, sugar, meat and lumber,
and to make up for the loss Of revenue
by taxing the income of the wealthy.
Under the Payne-Aldrich Law the
hats, coats and skirts Of the masses are
taxed almost II per cent, while men
like John D. Rockefeller having an an-
nual income of $50, 200, 900 q year have
not been required to pay single penny
of taxation to the National Govern
ment on their swollen fortunes.
Itgoes without saying that the Sugar
Trust, the Wooden Trust, the Lumber
Trust, and the Beef Trust. will con-
denim the new Tariff Bill as class legis-
lation. They were never heard to COM
plain however, of class legislation when
it hit the other fellow.
The masses of the people produce the
wealth, and by legislative advantage
few get possession of it, and now these
few object to the transfer to wealth of
even the amount of taxation derived
from the tariff on woolens, cotton, sugar
meat and lumber, which are but few
of several thousand items on which the
masses are now paying tax.
THE INCOME TAX.
Under the Income Tax provision those
having an income of more than 81, 600
must pay tax of one per cent on his
income in excess of the exempted 81,
600. For instance, man having an
income of 81, 100, would pay tax of
81; man having an income of S., 900,
would pay tax of $40; Sic, 900. $50;
500, 900, 81, $50; 81, 900, 600, $38, $50
WILSON HAS MADE GOOD. :"
Woodrow Wilson has already made
good as President of the United States.
You may verify this from the first man
you meet in the street, regardless of
mis- political creed, race or col5r. Il
seems to be in the air everywhere. The
people appear to understand that Wood
row Wilson is on the job in Washing
ton, working carefully, courageously,
and conscientiously, in their interest,
and they stand ready to hold up his
hand as often as he may need the back
ing of the public sentiment.
President Wilson's notion in reading
his message to the members of Cong
lress face TO face is being applauded
everywhere. Here is the story of the
President visit to the Capitol told in
minutes:
12:42-Cabinet meeting adjourns.
12;45-President departs for the Cap.
itol.
1888 Reaches Capitol.
12:54-Raceiyed in Speakers room

BY ROBERT F. WILSON.


The swearing in of Clyde H. Taven-
ner of Cordovs, Illinois, as the repres-
entative in Congress of the Fourteenth
Illinois District, was as much of tri-
umph for Mrs Tavenner as it was for
the young newspaper man himself.
1t is a fact that Mrs. Tavenner work
ed as hard in the campaign to elect her
husband as Tavenner did himself.
Furthermore, she knew how to work
effectively in his interest. Before her
marriage, Mrs. favenncr had for three
years been private secretary to United
States Senator Robert M. LaFollette
of Wisconsin.
Mrs. Tavenner is 81 years old. her
congressman husband is 81, Tayenner
has been a newspaper man at the
National Capital during the sessions Of
Congress for four years. He knows
every member of Congress personally
and the fact that he has been writing
an article a day for four years, has
quite naturally resulted in his acquiring
much valuable and useful information
ON the tariff ard other subjects, Mrs.
Tavenner says her husband is progress
sive of the LaFollette type, and Tavern
ner replies that tits not necessary for
anyone to prove it, that he admits it.
Senator LaFollette is Republican.

A Pork-Barrel Protest.

The village of Leesburg, Va, is en-
titled to rank with the immortal towns
of Lexington and Three Oaks. Lees

of Government money wasted giving it
bigger and better pestoffice than it
can use!
So far as can be learned. the case is
without parallel. Our correspondent
insists that he reflects the opinion of a
large body of the best citizenry in his
protest, If he is correct, Leesburg de-
serves place in the civic hall of fame.
Think of town willing to refuse a
postoffice building merely because it
ism needed! It's beyond belief. Read
the letter, and marvel:
