Anthony Wilding, worlds singles

the service rule to but one serve in
place Of the double chance now per-
mitted by the rules.
He recently wrote to an English

that the substitution of one service

Why Spain Lays Behind.

In thousands Of villages and small
towns in the interior OF Spain no one
knows how to read or write. There
are in Spain 10000 rural villages with.
out schools of any kind and many
thousands which can be reached only
by bride path, there being no high
roads or railway communication OF
any kind. Attendance at board schools
is voluntary, not obligatory. Seventy.
six per cent. of the children in Spain
are illiterate, and this is especially
noticeable in the capital.

MACK HAS NO CONTRACT.

Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-Connie Mack
has never signed a contract with the
Athletics since he started managing
the team in 1901, and will not sign
one this year. All the contract that
Mack has with the owners of the
club is "gentlemen's," agreement
which in view of the fact that the
sole owners are Benjamin Shibe and
Mack, himself, is easily understood
to be sufficient. Each of the two
men own fifty percent of the stock
in the Athletics. The secrets in the
club are really secrets and no one
knows what salary Mac gets for his
seasons work.

herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind

other combination of drugs ever com

Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.

hidden securities OF thrifty capitalists
and tax dodgers to entirely escape the
tax roles. While it must be admitted
that many millions Of dollars worth OF
personal property annually escapes as
sessment in our State, it cannot be de-
MED that there is scarcely foot of soil
that is not each year forced to yield a
high tax tribute that the laws demand.
We declare and instruct for the thor

ton of all taxes, to the end that all
property in this State may with least
expense and vexation to the people be
made to bear its proper and equitable
tax burden, and to this end we declare
and instruct for the passage OF legisla-
ton which will insure:
"First-That all taxes shallbe prompt
ly, fairly and equally assessed, and that
all taxes, so nearly as possible, be coll
lected while currently due, without the
necessity OF vexatious and expensive
tax litigation.
"Second-That current assessments
may be SO thorough and fair that neces-
sity for any back assessments shall be
reduced to an absolute minimum and
shall be limited to the proper and
equitable and inexpensive back assess
ment Of property which has been omit
ted entirely, and which as q result OF
actual fraud has been inadequately as
sessed.
''Third-We declare in favor OF the
passage Of an act to the effect that after
property has been regularly enlisted and
assessed by the tax assessor and its value
fixed and passed by county board Of
equalization, and having passed the
State Board Of Equalization, such prop
erty shall not be made subject to back
assessments.
"Fourth--We favor the collection of
such limited back taxes as can by the
result OF diligence be collected when
due. The collection Of such back taxes
should be promptly and inexpensively
made by the county trustee, aided by
the county trustee or encouragement,
and such revenue should be turned into
the treasury.

created and empowered to make all tax
assessments uniformly and thoroughly.

Nashville, Tenn, May 27.-The fol-
lowing platform was adopted by the
State Democratic convention:
The Democrats OF Tennessee, incon-
yention assembled. reafEirm their ale
glance to the national Democracy. We
heartily indorse the able administration
Of President Woodrow Wilson and we
especially commend his action in try
ing to bring harmony in Tennessee De-
mocracy.
Recent events in Tennessee have
demonstrated beyond question that
there is no longer any real cause for
division among the Democrats Of this
State, and we congratulate the Demo
Gratis OF Tennessee for the liberal spirit
manifested by both factions in assem-
bling in this great convention to name
q standard bearer and to declare plat
form OF principles upon which sue
cessful appeal may be made to the peo-
pie in the November election.
ABscoNDENcE CONDEMNED.
Democracy means majority rule.
Legislation is the result Of majority
action by the representatives Of the peo-
pie. The preventing legislation by abb
sconding minority has grown to an al
arming extent, and we condemn such
practice as undemocratic, un-American
and unwise. We favor the enactment
OF such laws as will prevent the repeti-
ton of this practice. Our State is now
suffering from the effect of such unlaw-
full and willful practice. One notable
example is that the State is now paying
seven per cent interest on its indebted
ness, and has been for over year, when
it should have been paying about four
per cent.
