GROUNDHOG DAY

About the most important question
now pending is whether or not the
groundbog will see his shadow Tues
day. 1t will then be decided, accord
ing to an old time superstition, what
the weather will be for the next six
weeks. If he sees his shadow it will
indicate to many that cold weather
will reign, but if he doesn't, pleasant
weather is assured. No matter wheth-
er the little animal sees his shadow
or not. we can rest assured that old
winters grip will not relax until we'll
along in March, although there may
be interims of what may be termed
warm weather.
So far as town life is concerned the
weather is of minimum Importance,
but out in tn e farming section it is
matter of great Importance. There
fore it is natural that in rural locali-
ties the tradition regarding the
grounding still has a number of
staunch believers. but the townbred
young. folks hardly know what
grounding looks like

A STATE TAX?

Slowly but surely we are coming to
q state tax in order to raise sufficient
money to defray the cost of govern
ment. Yearly the fixed charges have
been increased by raising official sal
aries, creating new departments,
building new Institutions and enlarg-
ing old ones, and taking over obliga-
tions that fairly belong to the coun-
ties and municipalities.
According to Comptroller Edwards
last report, while there was appar-
emily a cash balance of $1,0S5,605 81
in the treasury on October 81, there
were outstanding contractural obli-
cations of $86S,75167 and outstanding
acquisitions amounting to 79,2S6.40,
which Indicates that the total liabili-
les of the state were in excess of the
actual cash balance in the sum of
$156,432.46."
Now, the rumOr is, the shortage has
grown to about $3,000,000 and must
increase for week OF, two more un-
til the corporation taxes begin to
pour in. Within few days the spe-
cial legislative committee will make
its report on the exact condition of
the states finances, and then it will
be the duty of the Appropriations
Committee to find new sources of
revenue or recommend a direct state
tax.
Former Governor Murphy thought
a state tax was not so much to be
dreaded as most people believe, be-
cause it would make the Legislature
more considerate and compel the
voters to take a livelier interest in
public affairs. 1t would appear that
an opportunity for testing the Muir
ply theory is near at hand; and if it
must be imposed the Republicans will
never have better conditions politi-
cally-Trenton Times.

NOAH AN EARLY ADVERTISER

One of the earliest advertisers on
record was Noah. Day after day he
announced the fact that there was
going to be a great flood, and that in
preparation for the same he was con-
structing an ark, on which a few peo-
pie with good characters might en-
gage passage. He got the merry ha-
ha and even when it did begin to rain,
his fellow townsmen and they guessed
that it wasn't going to be mitch Of
a shower, anyway, Again Noah ad-
vertised the fact that ,stateroems
could be engaged on the ark but as
no one applied for them he filled them
up with elephants, anteaters,s camels
and such like escritters.
It was not until Shem and Ham
pulled in the gang plank that the
people realized that Noah had not de-
ceived them with his announcements.
Then there was a rush for the box
office, but it was closed and the ark
was beyond the three mile limit:
There was terrible excitement in
town that night, but next morning all
was quiet under. six fathoms of water.
There isn't much of a moral to this
except it be that when good, honest,
reliable man advertises, people should
believe Editor and Publisher. !"

The women voters in Illinois are to
be relieved of the necessity of telling
their ages when registering, and, of
course, in order that. the rights may
be equal, the men will also get SINH

that a woman should be required to
tell her age even on so important an
occasion as voting, and particularly
when so few women are ever able to
remember what their age is.
