-OR the cynic this list of financial pun F ishments asked against meddlers in ! matrimonial felicity must be de- lectable banquet, but to any one of senu- ment who loves his own people 1t brings sorrow and humiliation. The greatest thing in the world put on the damaged goods counter with price tags appended! Ambitions, dreams, lifelong ideals, hopes, everything that stands for family life, carefully calculated in It's wreckage, just as you would figure damages on furniture, dishes or potatoes!
 Whats the matter with us, anyway? Not thus in olden times-no, not even in our own youth-were such matters settled. When Paris meddled with the menage or Menelaus and stole the beautiful Helen that king didn't ask any court of the time to award him her "value" in Homeric- times currency. Instead, he went out to battle, and there followed the siege of Troy that gave the world one of it's great est epic poems.
 What is 1t that has so changed our point of view for the worse? That it is for the worse two of the applicants clearly show they understand. MT. George Wilder an nounces that he will give whatever dam

 Incidentally, another Mrs. George Will der, who figured recently in the divorce courts, took the old-fashioned and the proper way of going straight to her own husband with her troubles without em- barrassing things by the meddlesome ad- vice of outsiders.
 MT. Barnes will give whatever he gets from Professor Chessin to the children's Department of the New York Post-Grad- uate Hospital. Both these offers show a recognition that the remedy" asked is at least not heroic one.
 Particularly noticeable is the number of cases in which mamma-in-law and papa inaw and other relatives have been the meddlers.

 The president informed the mag mates that the government would be glad to aid the roads, providing the methods of past years were dropped and the people were also considered by the managers.

 Federation Men.

BUTTE, Sept. 10.-On account of the dissention between the Western Federation of Miners and the new union, the Butte Mine Wrkeors, twelve of the largest copper mines in this state have announced that they will conduct operations on the open shop plan.

WILL NOT RAISE
 INCOME TAX
Republicans Demand That Rivers and Harbors Bill Be Pruned-Presiden
 Takes Hand In Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Presi- dent Wilson today disapproved the plan advanced by many Democrats to increase the income tax in order to secure funds to carry on the work of the government until conditions become normal and the import duties again provide large part of the nec- eSsary money.
 The president is opposed to includ- ing small incomes as means of raising funds and because of the presidents position the matter has been dropped and new methods of raising the governments income must be found.
 Republican senators are insisting that the Rivers and Harbors bill be pruned of $54,00O,000, which, they as- sert is unnecessary and which it is charged is part of pork barrel to be used for campaign purposes. The pruning of the Rivers and Harbors bill will make unnecessary any new legislation, claim opponents of the presidents plans.
