sprinkled some french chalk into the shoes
to ease the forth coming strain. When he
handed them to the policeman he threw them

DR.. Friedman, or The Friedman cure
rather, is still holding its own-in news
paper publicity. No doubt P. T. Barnum
has turned over in his grave few times
lately, due to the amount of free advertis-
ing some people are receiving. If the doc
tors (saye the mark) cure had have been
all he represented it to be, it would have
been a godsend to humanity; as it now
stands it is anything else you are mind
to call it. Several states have refused to
allow the Friedman Sanitariums to operate
within their borders and even though some
of the people may raise thunder because
they are being deprived of cure for
tuberculosis, they will some day rejoice in
the fact that they have been saved many
dollars that they would have spent on a
noncurable remedy. Itwould be far better
for the American people to let foreigners
try out their remedies at home and see il
they make good, before jumping at con-
illusions.

Some of the newspaper of the country are
making great yell about the scandalous
way women are dressing. Thei: editorial
columns are fairly busting with caustic and
sarcastic remarks; and on the opposite page
they carry double-coumn cut depicting
the latest misunderstanding the propri-
ETY. of what they are kicking against.
Newspapers help to create outlandish fash
ions in dress as much as the dressmakers.
If the New York and Chicago papers will
discontinue the habit of making display
news items, every time woman is seen in
some new-fangied dress, the demand for
that kind of dresses will not become popu-
lar. They create demand by their free
advertising, and the smaller papers help
increase the demand-women, and men as

In a report on taxation made by d
commission appointed by former Govern
or Mckinley, this condemnation was
uttered of the elective tax assessor plan;
"The system as it is actually administer
ed results in debauching the moral sense.
1t is a school of perjury. 1t sends large
amounts of property into hiding. 1t inn
poses just burdens upon the farmer in
the country, all of whose property is tax
ed because it is tangible. These bur
dens are unjust, because these people
pay the taxes which should be paid by
their neighbors." This commission re-
commended the adoption of the appoin-
tive tax assessor system which is provid-
ed for by the Warnes law.

the Auditors were called to order as a rule
while at the banquet table, and the poor
old railway was appraised. Box cars that
cost a good sum were put on the tax du-
plicate for about the same price as the
farmers farm wagon. A locomotive was
counted as about so much iron, and the
iron horse of the poor railroad was val
ued, by the Auditors, at about the same
price as a farmers horse. A lot OF box
cars, passenger coaches and locomotives
were so good for nothing as not TO be
counted by the glorious Auditors.
The same railroad in Ohio at $4,000 a
mile, was worth three and four times as
much as soon as it crossed the line into
Indiana, where Auditors were not enter
tanned by the railroads in such royal styles
A different set of Auditors would meet
and appraise each railroad
Tom l.. Johnson saw the farce of such
system, and made the fight that won
him nationwide fame. He demanded
that free passes be not given, lie de-
manded that the railroads be valued by
the same yard stick the State over, and
by men who would not place themselves
under obligations. Tom Johnson livedto
see the day when Judson Harmon signed
up a law that gave to Ohio State Tax
Commission. This tax commission now
fixes the valuation of railroads and pub
lie utilities. Free passes have gone.
The two cent fare has come. The rail-
roads pay more taxes than they did in
the days of wine, song, and free trips.
The people used to do the kicking, now
the tables are turned and the railways
think they have hard roe to hoe under
tax reform. When Governor Harmon
asked for the one per cent tax limit law
there was a lot of kicking. If a vote
could have been taken the first year, it
would have been defeated. But it won
its way and every thinking person is
for it.
Every tax reform measure proposed by
the Democratic party has proven good |
thing after fair trial. Each reform
has made the big corporations pay more
taxes.
What is now known as the Warnes
Tax Commission law was recommended |
by both Governor Mckinley and Cover
nor Harmon. The new law will reach a
lot of hidden property in the cities that
can not be reached the old way.

Woodrow Wilson, at Washington, and

Shoulder to shoulder stands the hosts OF
Democracy. Both Wilson and Cox have

Promises Before You Divide the Spoils

have, for the first time in many years,
placed principle before pie. Democracy
at Washington presents a solid front.
Day after day, through a hot summer,
Congress is on the job. Vacations and
lecture contracts are cancelled. Wilson
is driving we'll. Governor Cox and his
party made good every party promise in
Ohio.
Wilson is sitting steady in the boat.
He refuses to plunge the nation into
war, into debt, into distress, although
some rich investors hayeresorted to every
device to compel him to do so.
Stand-patt1sm will soon be a relic.
Democrats rejoice in seeing new recruits
coming into camp daily.
Democracy is now compelling pet and
favorite banks to paw interest OH public
money which they use.
Democracy has increased the size and
usefulness of the parcel post
Democracy is compelling express COM
panies to reduce exhorbitant rates.
Democracy has made a corrupt lobby

ting, testifying 10 the strength within.
At the same time he has kind heart.
His domestics characterize him as an
