the great state of Kansas, with its
500, 600, 900 wheat crop and automo-
biles for every family in prospect. 1t
is true that North Carolina, the home
of the chairman of the senate finance
committee, dropped below Kansas,
with only $4,000, but North Carolina
has not boasted of a great wheat crop
and automobiles for everybody.
The people at whom the income tax
was leveled seem to have been fairly
honest in making returns and if there
is to be an inquisition to locate the
incomes that have not contributed, it
ought to be where they advertise their
wealth but do not allow the revenue
collector to locate the incomes that
are to supply automobiles to every
family in the state in the next four
years.
But perhaps Kansas will make a
better showing in the income tax col
lections in 1918, or I've this year
when the 500, 900, 900 wheat crop is
sold.

Seeing Both Sides

Boston Enterprise: Twelve years
ago Adam Foster of North WOburn,
it is said, was driving a coal team for
$40 a week. Now he owns a $4,000
truck farm. He went black to the
soil" and found there a cOngenial and
prosperous living. Only M of the
many examples, to be sure, but not
enough to justify a universal call for
the city man to sOothe his nerves and
fatten his purse back on the old farm.
To Offset this picture we have that
of the farmer who says: well, my
brother Jim was wise enough to see
that farmin' don't pay. He went to

The field on the other side of the
fence always looks attractive and
sometimes the maverick that jumps
over grows plump OF what he finds.
1t is nOt safe yet to accept as a gen.
eral rule that the training of the
country man fits him for success in
the city and that the city man is EN-
inently fitted to make good in the
country, but more and more dissatis'
fed persons are acting. perhaps not

Meaning Of "Sabotaoe."

Sabotage" in French is not only a
word to designate the manufacture of
"sabots" wooden shoes, it is also the
word for operation consisting in CASH
ing obliquely the wood traverses of
the railroads to fix in them the chairs
for the rails.
This settled, let me add that some
years ago, not far from Paris and in
the time of a strike, a few men had
worked to the repair of a railroad
when an inspector discovered that
most of the chairs were fixed in such
a way that infallibly a train that was
coming would be overturned in the
trenches.
"Quel s%abotage!" what a sabot'
age!) was the exclamation of the in.
spector, who running ahead of the
train, flag in hand, managed to STOP
it.
To the justice, the gendarmes, re
porters, in fact every n who after
ward questioned him, the inspector
throwing his arms above his head
was first answering: "Quel sabotage!
Quel s%abotage!" and the next day the
French press adopted the word "sa
botage" as the meaning of a mischiev
BUS and criminal act.

PROSPERITY WITHOUT INCOME

The Kansas boosters announce a

that in 1918 every family in the state

air.
The whole country will rejoice in
the prosperity of Kansas and hope
that this prosperity will appear in the
income tax collections sOon. The peo
pie of Kansas, like those of some OF
the southern states, have insisted on
having a federal income tax, and
some of them have been suspicious
that the people in the east would not
make complete returns.
