OF the evidence against them, Mr.. Pat
terson and his associates still proclaim
their innocence and still use the money
made by breaking the law to fight
the law and it's ministers
Coming to the relief of a desolated
region, the president, who is superin-
tending the work and the people of
the United States who are assisting
him have neither time nor patience to
consider Mr.. Pattersons plea. They
are carrying succor to all alike, but
they are not at the moment trying to
save anybody from the penitentiary.

The case of the Mimi furnishes new
testimony to the fact that the physical
laws of nature are inexorable. They
take no notice whatever of human
hearts and mothers tears or childish
pleas.
In the laws she has laid down for
the regulation of human society Moth
eI Nature is almost equally stern.
Nothing one can do is without effect
No law can be violated with impunity
1t has been tried many times with bad
results. Some men gamble in business
and taking rash chances find them
selves upon the rocks. Incidence

dulge too much in liquor and think
they can stand it. But if they are
lacking in strength and resolution
they are sooner or later upon the to-
boggan ana are helpless under the
forces that are taking them down.
Everybody has seen just such cases
The Mimi was not the first ship
ever wrecked through violating the
law of gravity.

The New will secure revenue of
Day Dawns. $1OO,OOO,OOO annually.
Doing so the government
will be able to lower the customs COL

1t will be a change of the greatest
significance. The 100000 600 as it
will be collected henceforth will come
from the rich, not the poor. Incomes
under $4,000 per anRum will be exempt

higher the rate he will pay. A man
with a million dollar annual income
will have to pay $4,000 as his income

Until now the national tax has been
falling on the consuming public not
upon the wealthy. An enormous sum
has been collected from duties i'm.
posed upon the necessities Of life, fol
instance upon coffee and sugar. That
tax hits the poor man as we'll as the
man of means.
