asked western politician as he hand
ed over his grip to the bellboy in the
hotel.
They are all Iayin' low sure
enough, trying to keep out of the lime
light"
This is undoubtedly the truth. There
is not a peep from any quarter. While
1t is known that there are several
presidential booms in incubation they
are being mothered very assidiously in
effort to keep them from public OBJ
servation and consequent comment.
"And I will tell you why" the west
ern politician went on to say. They
are afraid to come out and make a
showing of strength and weakness. A
presidential candidate in the open now
would be like lone deer on the
prairie, with the timber nearby full of
wolves The boomers Of the other
candidates would all fall on him and
rend him, on the ground that there's S
one out of our way. anyhow"
Weeks Glad-Hand Trip.
There's the Weeks boom Carrying
out the simile of the lone deer, Senator
Weeks made glad-hand trip across
the continent and Immediately the
pack in the east began to bay at him.
At present he is browsing the scant
herbage of New England, keeping out
of sight.
Then the Mann boom appeared. where
at one long, weird howl went up from
the Shermanites south Of Sangamon
county, and the Mann boom took
promptly to cover. In this particular,

but Richard Smith of Indianapolis has
succeeded in entangling 1t in a low
hanging sycamore along White river
until the rainy season is over and the
suits Mr.. Fairbanks all right, and safe
ly ensconced as he is. with Joe" Keel
ing and his trusty rife on picket post,
he lets the wolves howl the night
through without being disturbed.
Borah Boom Bleats.
The Borah boom-somewhat velvety
about the horns yet-bleats plaintively
along the foothills of the Rockies,
shifting the air for grizzlies, such as
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and other
standpatters. 1t has not ventured
far afield thus far.
The Burton boom shows signs OF
restiveness and defiance Of the wolves.
Senator Burton has cut short his trip
to South America and Is homeward
bound. hearing good news from Ohio,
it is said, to wit. that he bids fair to
be the leading buck there.
OF course. speaking Of the genus
cervus. there is the bull moose,
which the dictionary says is a large
cervine mammal with palmated ant
lers." Well. it seems to be herding
with the deer for the present, though
the politicians are looking for it to
utter a loud roar and make a dash
into the canebreaks any day.

looked on as jerked venison. with the

RUSH TO PAY TAXES
United states Government Received
S10i,f92."2 From Richmond
Nesferlay.

Richard c. l.. Moncurc. collector of
internal revenue for the Eastern Dis
trict OF Virginia reported a collection
yesterday OF il0l,i92.22 the largest of
the year The money taken in was
from special taxes spirits. personal and
corporation taxes, and collections on
lists.
Collector Moncure now has some of
his force working at night to keep up
with the rush, and II is expected that
for the balance of the month all his
available force, including the various
division deputies, will be kept busy
taking care of the large amount of
work that must necessarily be done in
order TO issue all special tax stamps
coming under the provisions of the reg
uiar tax law and the special taxes pro-
vided for under the emergency act of
October 90. 1914.
The special taxes payable under the
emergency acts are collected only for a
period of siS months. beginning July l,
1915, and ending December 81 OF the
same year, on which date all the emer-
gcncy special taxes become imperative
unless further provision is made by
Congress for their continuance.
The Norfolk and Petersburg branch
offices. which also come under the con-
troll of Collector Moncurc, have been
kept very busy, and it has been ncces-
sary for the collector to call in extra
help to assist the deputies in charge OF
the Norfolk Office. The enactment by
Congress of the emergency special tax
law and the Harrison anti-narcotic act
has almost doubled the work to be
done, but Mr.. Moncure believes that
the business can be properly handled IL
special taxpayers will make the re-
quired returns promptly and not delay
until the last few days OF the present
month

The opinion is a rude jar for the

the school, said yesterday morning that
the enrolment Of students from outside
Richmond was larger than that OF the
preceding session, but there were not
quite so many city teachers. due large
ly to the fact that many of the local in

Professor Smith said that the differ
