JOSEPH PULITZER.

Pulitzer was horn In Hungary, and at
the age of fourteen was forced to make
a living for his mother. He came to
America at the age of eighteen. He3could
not speak a word of English, but not dis
mayed he joined the army, and at the
end Of the wal began the study of law.
Not being successful he entered the en-
ploy of a German Newspaper in st. Louis
as a reporter. His search for news pc
came so diligent that he would stop peo-
pie on the street on their way to busl-
ness, church or theatre, and beg them
for news. This energy soon began to as
sert itself and he climbed to the position
of editor, then to half owner.
In 1878, he bought the bankrupt st.
Louis Post Dispatch and made such a
remarkable success that in 1888 ne was
able to buy the New York World, one OF
the most powerful papers in the country.
At his death, this boy, who COULDN'T
speak a word of English, overcame the
difficulty, and left a fortune of 100000
600.

the average income Of those who
had attended the district school
only was 1913. 90, those who had
training in the high school was
1922. 90, and those who went be-
yond the high school S847.OO
So we see, with the same capt.
tai, that those who went to the
high school had an average earn
ing of S211.00 more than those
who had only gone to the dis
trict school, which goes to prove
that it pays to educate the
farmer, because by education
his mind and reasoning faculties
are better developed enabling
him to invest his capital more
iudiciously and effectively. The
subjects of education and civili-
cation are closely allied to each
other, and must march along
hand in hand to best promote
and conserve the interests OF
mankind. Education m u S t
blaze the way for mans prog
ress and civilization must come
behind and build up and develop
and reclaim and embellish for
mans utility and enjoyment.
Civilization in it's broadcast sense,
as applied to modern life, con-
sists in the ability of man to sub
due the forces of nature and rem
der them subservient to his uses.
1t means an invasion, by him, Of
the realms of the atmosphere,
electricity, gravitation, the min
eral and vegetable world, and
the manipulation by him of SUCH
elements and substances derived
therefrom as may contribute to
his use and comfort.
It means the stimulation of
the principle of self activity
among the members Of the hu-
man race, and the Utilization
for the common good, of such
knowledge as may be derived
from the recorded experience of
men in the past. It's sphere of
investigation embraces not only
the science and literature of all
people, who live and have lived.
but it's present and future de-
velopment depends upon the in
tensity and thoroughness with
which the human mind can in
vestigate and apply existing
facts. Inasmuch as it embraces
within its scope the application
and creation and development of
science and literature and art, it
is closely allied to the subject Of
education; il fact civilization is

suits of education, and a people,
as a natural consequence of this
close relationship, are civilized

The Inauguration of new

the 4th inst, that ceremony in
the city Of Washington, was at
tended by impressive ceremonies
and the attendance in the capi-
tol city Of a record breaking
throng of people from over the
whole land. The program of the
day covered five hours and while
marked to great extent by the
simplicity desired by the Presi-

there was necessarily something
of pomp and display in the inau-
guratiop Of the men who for four
| years will preside over the desti-
nies of the greatest nation and
the greatest people in the world.
The oath of office was admins
tered to Mr.. Wilson by Chief
Justice White, of the Supreme
court of the United States-who,
by the way, is a member of the
Catholic Church.
The number of Tennesseans in
Washington attending the inau.
guration was notably large,
which was accounted for to a
great extent by the fact that the

Income Tax
Proclaimed Law
Secretary Knox Puts Six
teenth Amendment In
to Effect.

The income tax amendment
was put into effect at noon, Feb.
25, by proclamation by Secre-
tary of State Knox. The amends
ment, the first enacted in forty
five years, is the sixteenth added
to the original Constitution.
The proclamation followed the
ratification of the income tax
resolution by three .fourths of
the states after it's passage by
Congress. The law provides that
the secretary of state officially
proclaim the adoption OF any
constitutional amendment be-
fore it becomes valid.
The new amendment is as fol-
lows:
Article XVI.-The Congress
shall have power to lay and col
lect taxes on incomes, from
whatever source derived, with
out apportionment among the
several states, and without re-
gard to any census or enumera-
tions."

The Webb Bill, prohibiting

into states where the liquor traf-

after passing the Senate, over
the veto of 4 President Taft, was
also passed by the House over
the executive objection on last
Friday, the House vote standing
244 ayes and 95 noes. As the
majority given in both the House
and the Senate was large, we
are constrained to believe that
President Taft is not the only
one who has an opinion worthy
of respect in regard to the con-
stitutionality of the measure,
which if established as a law will
do so much for the morality of
the country-and will go a long
ways toward putting the distill.
ers and liquor dealers out of bus,
mess. When the whiskey busi-
ness shall have been put on the
run, and beyond possibility of
reinstatement, nation. wide cru
sades should be inaugurated
against the lesser evils of bawdy
houses, gambling houses, burglar
trusts, etc. and we believe that
step will be taken. In the House
vote at Washington last Friday,

only member of the Tennessee
delegation who stood for the
