DISTANT CORRESPONDENTS.
Letter From London to Sydney.

Essays of Elia.)
My Dear F-When l think how
welcome the sight of a letter from
the world where you were born must,
be to you in that strange one to which
you have been tranSplanted, / feel
some compunctious visitings at my
long silence. But. indeed, it is no easy
effort to set about a correspondence
at our distance. The weary world OF
waters between us Expresses the mag
nation. 1t is difficult to conceive
how a scrawl of mine should ever
stretch across it. 1t is a sort of pre-
sumption to expect that ones thoughts
should live so far. 1t is like writing
for posterity; and reminds me Of one
Of Mrs. Rowe's superscriptions, AL
cander to Strephon, in the Shades.
COwley's PoSt-Angel is no more than
would be expedient in such an inter-
course. One drops a package at LON
bard St, and in "a hours friend in
Cumberland gets it as fresh as If 1t
came in ice. 1t is only like whisper
ing through a long trumpet. But sup
pose a tube let down from the moon,
with yourself at one end, and the man
at the other; ii would be some balk
to the spirit of conversation If you
knew that the dialogue exchanged
with that interesting theOsophist
would take two or three revolutions of
hlgner lumlnary IN ltS passage. 1el

parasangs higher that primitive idea

REWRITING TO the subject Of
mush and milk than which, to our
notion, there is none more succulent,
and. we may add by way of parenthe-
sis, we know of no combination of
food units that sticks closer to the ribs
on cold day. In homes as we'll as
in orphan asylumS, mush has been a
staple sustaining power for centuries
There is nothing which makes finer
apple checked children than mush
with milk and syrup, or sugar, and
they have been known to keep fat and
hearty on mush and salt.
THEN there is the by-product, fried
mush, crispy fried mush for break
fast What could be more delicious
and satisfying? But we fear many
have strayed away after new gods and
that the mush pot rusts on its hook.

THE EMERGENCY REVENUE TAX

Within a short time the application
OF the war revenue tax will begin to
make itself felt and already the advo-
Gates Of high tariff in their efforts TO
make it appear that a low tariff is
responsible for the tax are beginning
to get in their work. They appeal to
the unthinking without regard to the
existence of European war that has
cut off the importation of virtually
everything from that section Of the
/ world, and, of course, in this con-
nection fail to mention that no differ
ence how high the tariff might be, it
could bring no revenue under such
circumstances.
In certain lines Of goods from which
formerly we received thousands of
dollars Of revenue monthly not a
cent has been secured since the out
break OF the war. This loss Of rev.
enue would have made it as impeIa-
! tive upon the government. under the
Payne-Aldrich law, to find new ways
of raising money, as it has under the
Underwood law. The emergency rev.
enue tax is the result. We doubt if
anyone will be severely misled by the
high tariff criticisms.
We are told that the exactions OF
this tax fall upon every man and
woman in every line of activity, and
that In the last analysis the consumer
must pay it; true but no more true
than the exactions Of the protective
tariff law, at least insofar as It con-
| Germs the consumer. There may be a
slight difference with regard to some
manufacturers. In the case of the
| protective tariff. it was to the pro-
rected manufacturers a sort Of graft.
The consumer paid the tax, not only
on the imported goods, but on the
| higher priced goods that the manu-
facturer was enabled to distribute,
while as to the latter it went into the
manufacturers pocket rather than the
public treasury.
During the Spanish-American war
the government levied a war tax to
defray the expense. We had a pro-
tective tariff then but it was unable
to meet the call for cash. We are at
peace with the world now and without
tariff duties we are In a quite similar
| predicament-but the lack of duties
I is not our fault. The commerce OF
/ the seas were only mildly affected by
our conflict with Spain. 1t is a ques-
ton Of importations that is involved
here. 1t is not question Of high or
low tariffs at all.
The tax will provoke some antag
| onisms beyond doubt. and we need not
! expect that the enemies of democ-
/ racy will make any effort to allay that
antagonism. There are a lot of people
so short on patriotism and long on
greed that they will decline to look at
| this situation in its true light, no diff
ference how plainly II is presented.
To such as these, however, the blunt
answer that Vice Pres't Marshall gave
them in his recent campaign address
here. is re-offered as a suggestion.
eff you don't like it, there are re-
cruiting stations in London, Paris.
Petrograd and Berlin. Place the re
sponsibility on whichever of the par
ties in conflict that you please, and
then go and join the forces of the OPP
/ position"

RlNeHAM's SLAYER ESCAPES.
w. c. Webb Sent to PenitentIary for
Two Years.

Memphis.-W. C. Webb, under sen.
tence for the murder of Dallas Bing-
ham at Binghamton, has escaped from
the state farm, where he has been
working out a term for manslapghter.
The prison authorities had 1t In
mind to recommend Webb to the
governor for parole, and some action
would have been taken in his behalf
during the present month had he not
made his break for liberty.
Webb was sentenced to two years
in the state penitentiary before the
indeterminate sentence law became
operative However, the law, retro
active, applied to him and the gov
ernor could have paroled him after
one year.
Webb was sent to the penitentiary
from the first division of the criminal
court and has served about one year.
Up to the time of his escape he had
made model prisoner and was well
liked by prison officials, who were
ready to interest themselves in his
behalf. He was made trusty on the
state farm. He took advantage of an
opportunity and made his escape.
There was considerable diversity
Of opinion as to Webbs guilt among
those who heard the testimony at his
trial.
Bingham was killed during a gen.
eral fusillade while Walter Stewart.
town marshal, was attempting to ar
rest Webb. Bingham and another
man were assisting Stewart. Dozens
Of shots were fired. Bingham was
shot down.
Webb insisted until the last that he
had not fired the shot which killed
Bingham, and there was circumstan-
tial evidence, especially that relative
to the positions of the two men and
others engaged in the firing, tending
to support his contention.

SPUR FARM LANDS

Many farmers are making hard or
doubtful living on high-priced lands in
localities cursed with insect pests, or
foods, or drought, or weed plaques,
or other enemies to successful farm
ing. The end of each year finds time
and energy practically wasted-no
progress made. Spur Farm Lands
offer relief from these conditions.
The tenant on the high-priced lands
further east can make payment and
be master of his own acres here. Any
good farmer can pay for them from
the products thereof. The Spur Farm
