State Wants Yale Tax.

Under a ruling made by Judge Gilson of the New Haven probate court in a previous case, the state of Connecticut will not receive an in- heritance tax from the bequest to Yale University under the will of Justus s. Hotchkiss unless the attorney general should win in his effort to have the ruling upset. The ruling was orig inally made on the will of Henry White, who left Yale certain funds, the probate court holding that as the university is charitable institution it is not within scope of the law on in- heritance taxation. The state did not contest this ruling. Judge Gilson will rule likewire on the Hotchkiss bequest which leaves about $1, 1000, ,000 to the university. The tax would amount to about $100, 900. It is understood that the state will contest Judge Gilson's s ruling.

Gasoline Soaring.

There is always grumbling when, us at the present. time, the price of gaso. line materially rises. But mere grumbling is not intelligent action. Is there nothing that can be done about it? Perhaps nothing could be done to immediately obviate the rise in price. but even an intelligent understanding of the situation would help. The com mon mistake is to suppose such rise as the present one is due either to the caprice or power of those who control the supply, or to war conditions which will be only temporary. Those who can control the price may take some advantage of increased demand. War conditions have something to do with increasing that demand. But the fun damental cause is an enormous and rapidly growing increase in the quan- tity of gasoline used right in our United States. Not only is the num- Der and size of pleasure and commer- cial motor vehicles, all of which use gasoline, swiftly growing, but the use of gasoline for other fuel purposes all the while increases. The gasoline engine, stationary and motor, is com. mon and universal.
 Then we shall do we'll to cease re- garding as temporary the conditions which tend to raise the price of this fuel. In the main they are permanent and they will increase. There is very little reason to expect return to eleven.cent gasoline. And gasoline at double that price becomes something else than the most economical of possi- ble fuels. Its supply is not inexhausti- ble. It does not increase at all ir pro. portion to the demand.
 As soon as the truth permeates that we can expect no more cheap gasoline there may be an effort in the direction of substitute. Denatured alcohol is known to be possible, only lacking a practical means of production. Others have been mentioned. Possibly im- provements in the efficiency of gasoline are on the way. At all events, the time has come for this sort of effort to speed up.-New Haven Register.

nf my Father, enter into the joy of my Lord.
 II can hardly trust myself to speak of him and what his life has meant to this community; for my fellowship with him was like a son with a father. His homo Was one of the first into which was invited as l began my ministry here, and only feS days ago. while suffering pain he wrote me uf his con. tidence and faith and prayed GUd s blessing upon me and mine. What a listener he was! How his words ot appreciation and advice helped me in my labors here. He always believed the best and nnt the worst about others. He lived and practiced the exhortation of the Apostle, Whatsoever things are honest, just pure. and ut good report, think of these things
 Called upon to serve his town in official positions throughout his long life. he won the respect of all and wus faithful in every trust, careful in all his judgments, and charitable towards those wHo differed with him. Coming of old New England stock he had deel convictions of right and wrong and was a type of man that has made New Eng | land famous. His hatred of evil and l inIe1nperance was shown throughout his life. and he rejoiced over the driv. 1 ing of the saloons out of the town.
 "The respect and esteem in which he was held was attested by the demon stration made by ueighbors and friends | Eftx~ GFfI, .F hs. marriage, which was held such short time ago. The old homestead was througed with friends and over two hundred climbed the hill and paid hin their tribute of respect aud love. The 1 presentation to him of beautiful bible at that time was a fitting token of his 1 love far God and Gods word. A faith, ful student of it during his lifetime, his mind was treasure house and his memory remarkable. and he had quite gift in expressing his thoughts and u ready flow of woras, so that at public meetings he was always heard with in. terest. His unselfishness and large heaTtedness was manifest constantly. His roof had sheltered many rnfortu- nate children and he was looked up to as father by those dependent ones. Many of them have prospered in the world, and one of the great joys of his later years was the hearing from those who had shared his home.
 His devotion to his home and loved ones was marked and his constant thought was for the church, aud he was loyal to the last and travelled the miles from his home to the church in summer aud winter and often when he suffered pain.
 His faithfulness remains as a precious legacy to us all. Let IFS not therefore grieve today. Let us take the Christian, hopeful, cheerful view of death. Let us rejoice in the faith and triumph that was his, and pray that his mantle may fall upon those left behind who mourn his departure; and let us look up nor down, realizing in the great eternal plan all things work toge her for the final good of man.

Cheer unl

These are dark days for the world The shadow of the war is heavier than ever on all hearts, whatever their sym pathies. There is little exultation now even in victories. for we know at what price of blood and pain every victory is won. But there are many things besides war in the world. Except for our active imaginations, most of us would feel life running on pretty much as usual. There is the same sunshine, the same life giving air, the same autumn colors in the woods. the same joy in 'bountiful haryests. There fs the same quiet satisfaction of soul that has always come with the full season, whether in country or city. Here, in onr American isolation, We can live out our lives in spite of wars and rumors of wars. There is need, to he sure, of taking thought for the futurc, preparing against the time when war may bring home to us the wretchednes that we knew half century ago and that Europe knows today. But that is matter of calm decision, not for alarm and fear. We are today ric most fortunate nation in the world There is no reason why we cannot con. tinue SO. It is a good time for the nation to take to heart the philosophy that is preached so much today to in. dividuals-the philosophy of conf. dence, of optimism, of positive thought 1t is right and proper that we should feel the woes of Europe, and it is our duty to alleviate them all we can. But it is wrong to let those woes weigh on our spirits until we lose our own buoy. ancy and poise. 1t is better to regard the war as a doctor or a nurse regards sickness-as something to be cured, whose cure eau be effected not through outbursts of sentimentalism but through intelligent and cheerful service. -Ex- change.

Eighteen Attorneys
Are Charged with
Misuse of Mails

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Sept. q
Three San Francisco attorneys were
arrested today under blanket federal
indictment charging eighteen California
and oregon attorneys and land agents
with using the mails TO forward a fraud
ulent scheme. They are charged with
fraudulently inducing persons to file on
alternate sections of land along the
Southern Pacific railroad from the
southern state line Of oregon to Eugene,
Ore.
The attorneys, Franklin p. Bull, Nor
man B. Cook and w. A. 5. Nicholson,
were released on 5000 bonds. The land
involved was the government grants
which had stipulated it should be sold
to settlers at $3.50 an acre. 1t was
withdrawn from settlement. The supreme
court Of the United States recently held
that the railroads interested in the 1spd
was limited to $3.50 an acre and that the
increased value belonged to the govern
ment. The attorneys are charged with
representing that purchasers were as
sured clear title TO the land regardless
Of the courts decision.
