POLLY ANNA CLUB

Polly Anna" 1.-THE Glad Book" is
the title OF popular little story now
being widely read. 1t is the story of q
little girl, the daughter Of poor min.
lister, who lived in Western state
ing great poverty. Her father and
mother died, she was sent East to live
with n wealthy maiden aunt. During
her fathers lifetime THY fplayed''
game called being glad" and as
she explained it to her maiden aunt
the way the game was played was to
find something in everything that hap
pened to be glad about. There was
never a catastrophe so great but this
little girl could find some phase about
which to be glad. She preached this
new philosophy to everyone with
whom she came in contact. and soon
they were playing the game too. 1t is
said that Polly Anna clubs are being
formed in many places. and members
are deriving much good from the plan
of being glad over everything that
happens.
The Intelligencer believes that the
organization of Polly Anna" clubs in
the South just now would be a good
thing. Seriously. this would help
smooth out many rough places. For
instance II a farmershas debts to pay
and six cent cotton to pay them with,
and a short crop at that, he. can be
gfud that he has health and strength
anu hope III MS heart for better times.
Then he can be glad for the wife and
little ones God has given him to bless
his home. He cen be glad that his ad,
versity has shown him his true friends
and he can know how much he can
rely upon them in times OF distress.
Now. had you thought OF this in Just
this wsy?!$$as': it worth while to cul-
tivate optimism in thought and deed ?
And 1t can be cultivated. One can he
glad all the time or carry a gronch.
One can smile OF frown, these are
voluntary acts on the part Of every
one.
"The man worth while Is the man
who can smile,
When everything goes dead wrong"

porting the measure was Mr.. Mann,
the leader. Only IL votes were cast
against it. though its passage. alous
with that OF nearly every other party
measure. was long delayed.
On the questions OF authorizing the
Presidents Mexican policy and his use
OF emergency notes in that connec-
ton, there was very decided Republi-
can support OF the administration in
both houses. Even on the currency
question. which was delayed from May
OF last year until couple OF days be-
fore Christmas by those who did not
want 1t to pass yet dared not vote
against 1t. finally received 35 Repub-
lican votes in the House and 4 from
the opposition in the Senate.
There was slightly more cohesive
ness among the Republicans on the
tariff. but even On this question there
was support for the Underwood ball
from the opposition that was notice
able. Seven votes in the House and
two in the Senate were cast for this
measure by those not of the admins
tratfon party.
Such facts as these indicate that the
Democrats are really representative
OF the sentiment OF the country, and
that the opposition has little left to
stand on.--that II is almost at sea.

NOT A POOR MANS MEASURE


present in Columbia and urging the
General Assembly to submit a bond
bill 10 the people which would make
South Carolina purchaser of cotton
at ten cents a pound when cotton is
worth in the market six or seven cents
pound, The State would like to
know X the railroad brakcmen, con-
ductors. firemen and engineers are
represented.
Are Representatives OF 125,000 cot
ton mill operatives and their families
urging the passage of bill menacing
the State with permanent debt of
$2O,OOO.0oO?
Are spokesmen for $4,000 white ten
ant farmers who, if cotton be bought
at ten cents a pound, will turn over
practically all they have to landlords
and merchants, who in any case will
be tenant farmers next year as they
are now, insisting that the bond bill
be passed?
or the white population OF 1885, 900 in
South Carolina. at least 100000 have
little or nothing to gain from the bond
scheme.
Who are their representatives in
the General Assembly? Who is speak
ing for them? Who for them is ap-
preaching members and senators and
begging that the bill be passed?
The Hampton administration reduc-
ed the public debt OF the State, by
the elimination OF fraudulently issued
bonds, to n sum between six and seven
millions of dollars. In thirty-six or
seven years the debt has been reduced
about one million and that has been
done, for the most part, by the sale
of public lands.
IL the public debt shall be in
creased by ten or twenty millions the
increase will be with lis to stay. In
the main it will be a BURDEN ON
LABOR.
The grandsons and the great grand
sons OF the railroad brakcmen. the
salesman, the mill operative, the street
car conductor and the tenant will feel
it in the RENTS THEY WILL BE
ASKED TO PAY. These laboring men
will themselves feel It..
II members of the General Assem-
bly, must pass what Senator Walker
denounces as a menace vicious in
principle" while casting his vote for
1t. let them do 30 with their eyes open.
Let them not fancy that they are COM
ing to the rescue of "the poor man."
In the, last analysis, the load of pub
lie debt is in great measure carried
on the shoulders OF labor.
LABOR does not pay great deal in
direct taxes. Indirectly, In rents. in
the cost Of those necessaries furnished
tS public utility companies and in :hs
adjustment OF the wage scale, labor
gets the big end of the log.
For the most part this newspaper
derives 1t main support from prop
erty holders. From temporary dis
tribution of largess by increase of the
public debt to property holders. The
State would have its share. - From a
selfish point OF view. The State has
as much at stake as any property
holder and Is suffering not less than
others from the existing hard and
harrassing conditions. That shall not
deter The State from putting the case
plainly; from saying that the bond is.
sue. even If 1t would help the property
holders (Which we do not for mo-
ment believe), Is in essence IL not in
design a measure destructive of the in
terest of the great mass OF the people
and calculated to strengthen the fet-
ters OF their poverty.-The State.

DENVER HOTEL MAN
VISITS CANON CITY

Mr. C. S. Watson. one Of the prop
rietors OF the Auditorium Hotel in
Denver. was visitor in Canon City
Friday.
The Auditorium Hotel is owned by
the Watson Brothers. three of them.
They also own the Denver Mantle
and Tile Co. They built the hotel as
an Investment After several OF its
renters made more or less a failure
of it the watsons took it over and
are running 1t themselves. They
have proved themselves to be far bet
ter hotel men than the professionals
who had tried to run 1t before. They
have built up an excellent business
and have many friends in Canon City.
The Auditorium is one hotel that
is not worrying over the effect OF the
state going dry. The Auditorium has
always been dry. because the owners
are that kind Of people.

HOW THE new TAX::S
WILL AFfECTssTHE PEOPLE

The act to increase the internal re-
venue of the United States, recently
passed becomes effective tomorrow.
Under this law few matters have
eseaper or have been overlooked. but
of those enecting the general public
probably the more important and d.
rect are in brief as follows: Tele-
phone and telegraph messages must
pay tax of one "a cent; the tax on
ali legal documents offered for filing
with the county clerk and recorder OF
each respective county. including all
deeds. promissory notes. mortgages,
insurance papers. wills and other
documents specifically named, will re-
quire a one % cent stamp affixed
before acceptance. All consignments
by express and bills of Iadins require
. similar stamp of one cent
Certain specified industries. in
cluding banking houses. brokerage Of
fees. pawnbrokers. commission mer-
IS. rroprietors of theatres. mus
Gums and concert halls, proprietors
.cf billiard rooms and bowling alleys
are required TO pay extra taxes. Manu-.
facturers Of cigars and dealers in to-
baeco. brewers and distillers, togeth-
er with retail liquor dealers must fur
ther pay a specified tax in addition
10 the license already imposed.
Neither is the groeerymnn exempt
for stamps viii be required on all
packages OF oleomargarine. rectified
buffers. filled cheese. mixed flours and
matches.
The pharmacist or druggist will con
tribute to the special war tax with
the special stamp ON all perfumery,
domestic or imported cosmetics and
chewing gum and its several substi-
tutes.
The stauoner or bookseller as well
as the druggist must see that a two
cent stamp is placed on each and
every pack of playing cards exposed
for sale.
Railroad companies are required to
pay a tax of one mill on each seat
occupied in a palace or a parlor car
and berths in sleeping cars.
The amount to be raised by this
special tax will undoubtedly result in
great increase to the revenue OF
Uncle Sam, but 1t may prove insufh-
cient to meet the threatened deficit
by loss OF import duties. through the
European war.
The additional special tax imposed
on bankers, brokers. liquor dealers
and others went into effect on Noyem-
her /. although no stamps are as yet
obtainabie. II is expected. however.
these revenue stamps will soon Re
placed on sale as occasion requires at
the postoffice in this city. In Denver
the stamps are obtainable at the Uni
ted States revenue office
