WILL HUGHES RUN?
New York Paper Says He Won't Seek
Nomination.


The New York American Monday
published the following under Wash
ington date:
The first statement by Justice Charles
E. Hughes of the Supreme Court on the
Republican nomination for President
was obtained today. Justice Hughes
is quoted as saying by leader in the
Republican party favorable to the pre-
convention campaign for his nomina-
ton:
I'm my opinion, Roosevelt is going
to be nominated, so it makes it I'M
necessary to discuss anyone else at all. "
Great pressure had been brought to
bear upon Justice Hughes to authorize
the campaign in his behalf. That was
his reply.
Justice Hughes statement, which
was made within the last week, was in
terpreted by his supporters to mean he
has made up his mind he will not con-
nive at getting the nomination, so that
if he should be named he may be able
to say that while on the Supreme Bench
he never by word or deed sought the
honor.
His friends declare he will not be
disappointed If he is not nominated;
that he is perfectly sincere and content
to remain on the bench. His closest
friends, those more anxious to know
his real attitude toward the nomination.
assert they are wholly without guidance
or suggestion from him.
They believe, however, that Justice
Hughes will be controlled by the pre-
sence or lack of unanmity of spirit at
the Chicago convention. They believe
he would refuse the nomination if 1t
should come to him after bitter fight.
Frank Hitchcock, former Postmaster
General, has been in Washington for
three days in the interest of the move
ment for Hughes. He saw the Justice,
but was unable to induce him to consent
to the use of his name.
1t was predicted by an authority to-
day that Burton and Cummins will drop
out of the race this week. 1t was said
Cummins' strength, in general. would
go to Hughes. but that some of it would
be for Roosevelt. The Burton votes
are to be divided between Roosevelt
and Hughes. 1t was also said Fair
banks would withdraw if it were not
for the fact that he desires a compli-
mentary vote.
Republican Senators declare there is
no question that Colonel Roosevelt
would support Justice Hughes if the
latter were nominated. They say
Colonel Roosevelt's controlling desire
is the defeat of the Democratic Ad-
minlstration, sand that he is thoroughly
stirred up.

McADOO SCHEME A LOTTERY.

Democratic cock-sureness in doubtful
situation is aptly illustrated in the
estimates submitted by Secretary
McAdoo to Chairman Simmons of the
Senate Finance Committee and Chair
man Kitchin of the House Ways and
Means Committee. For the next fiscal
year only about $50, 100000 of new
revenue will have to be provided to
meet the largely increased appropria-
tons. including the preparedness pro-
gram. Mr.. McAdoo says, and all of
this will come from taxes on incomes.
inheritances and munitions. Maybe it
will.
Federal taxation of inherItances and
munitions would be entirely new. As
to inheritances the proposal will be
adopted only after overcoming con-
siderable opposition, There is feeling
IN influential circles that this field should
be reversed to the states most of which
have availed themselves of it as a
source of revenue. Should the federal
government also tax inheritances hard
ships would be imposed. Itpasses under
standing how the Secretary of the
Treasury can offer as dependable
estimate any considerable sum as likely
to be available from the taxation of
munitions manufacturers. That bust
ness has grown up during the European
war, and with the coming of peace il
will practically disappear. No man knows
when hostilities will cease, and it is the
duty of our government to assist in
bringing about peace at the earliest
possible day, even at the cost of some
revenue from the munitions business.
Of course, our defense preparations will
call for some munitions on which the
tax might be imposed, but as the gov.
eminent would have to pay whatever il
amounted to IN the way of higher price
for goods bought, it would not gain any
thing therefrom. Anyway, munitions
manufacturers already pay the corpora
ton income tax. Shall they be taxed
again?
So incomes alone are left, assuredly
to produce added revenue. Mr., McAdoo
belleyes they will yield a greatly in
creased amount of money owing to the
Illustration of evasions by persons pro.
perly taxable. But it is likely also that
average incomes last year were much
higher than previously owing to war
business and speculative profits grow
ing out of the war-made prosperity.
Such increases will vanish when the
war ends and revenue will fall off &C.
cordingly. Thus it seems unless there
is no change in the deplorable world
condition the $3.50, 600, 900 additional
revenue. which Mr.. McAdoo is banking
on will not be available. When the war
does end there is certain to be bad times
in this country that will still further re-

WhX "Pin Money"

For long time after pins were in
vented in the fourteenth century they
were used only by the wealthy. 1t
cost so much to manufacture them
that the poor and even the middle
classes could not afford them. Each
pin was made by filing one end of
wire of the proper length to a point.
and then twisting piece of finer wire
about the other end. The complete
process is said to have involved about
thirteen different operations, requlr-
ing as many different persons. In 1897
Timothy Harris of England succeeded
in making the first solid-headed pin.
In 1924 an American named Wright
made a great improvement over Har-
ris' method, and in 1881 John |. Howe
of New York city invented a machine
for making pins as we now have them.
At one period, when pins were ex-
pensive Injuries, it was customary to
give a young lady certain amount
on her marriage for pin money" The
custom disappeared long ago, but the
term pin money" remains.

Cold congresses today are gener-
ally advised and have taken the place
of various hot applications previously
thought to be the correct mode of
treatment. This method of reducing
irritation should be employed in the
beginning whenever possible so the re-
lief will be all the more rapid.
One of the simplest congresses is
made from a small towel or cloth laid
in several folds, dipped in cold water,
wrung cut and applied to the throat
of the patient, completely encircling
il. Over this at once is placed dry
towel covering the wet enc so as to
exclude the air, otherwise chill is
likely to follow The wet cloth is
moist only. with no tendency to drip.

Snowsheds a Necessity.

Travellers passing through the Sierra
Nevadas during the winter are famil-
lar with the peculiar sights that follow
heavy snowfall not accompanied
with wind, for they have seen build
ings completely buried from view, the
only indication of their presence be-
ing a mound of snow shaped like the
roof They have seen small buildings
with snow perhaps ten feet deep on
the roof, and posts with such big
white cap that they looked like giant
mushrooms.
At numerous points snow twenty
FIVE feet deep on the level is not I'M
common, and a one-story building,
buried to the caves, is a frequent
sight. This peculiar condition in the
Sierras was the cause for building the
snowsheds, which extend 30 miles
along the railway tracks between Blue
canyon and the Truckee. Without
these sheds the railroad could not be
operated, but their cost is enormous.

But, sir" expostulated Jerry,
things aren't so bad as you think.
We're square. Well, then, how about
the big broomcorn consignment?
Dalton shook his head drearily.

on that and may stay down."
But the ten thousand dollar option,

I'll lose it rather than take the lot
and involve others in loss. No, I'm

Then Roland Dalton went away,
reckless, desperate. Jerry stood look

Jerry was seated in the midst Of
his family that evening when Miss
Blount Unexpectedly intruded. She
looked excited and exhilarated.

strange things happened at the office
after you left"
"Yes?" murmured Jerry, interroga-
lively.
THE first was a notification that
our people at Aberdeen had shipped
the entire broomcorn consignment"
Why" fairly shouted Jerry, in dire
CONSERVATION. "a million dollars
worth! No market! Freight charges
a small fortune in themselves! A. ten
thousand dollar forfeit up"
Don't you see," suggested Marcia,
eagerly, they are banking on the
good credit of our house. They are not
afraid to trust Mr.. Dalton
"But. my dear Miss Blount," ex-
claimed Jerry, there is absolutely no
demand for the stuff, the quotations
are disastrously below the profit point,
no one can handle it on our contract
price without a disastrous loss, and we
simply cannot take it,"
I'VE must"
Never had Jerry Watson seen so
determined a look on the little lady's
face. There was power unutterahle in
the expression.

and there was a tremulous thrill IN
her voice. Il am not willing that an
opportunity should be allowed TO pass

teacher. Parents are eager that their
children should receive good educa-
ton and zealously cooperate with the
instructors. AS a result, the school
system Of Tangier compares favorably
with many other systems that make
far greater pretensions.
The health Of the people is looked
after by graduate of the University
of Maryland. A justice of the peace,
elected by the people Of Accomack
county, Virginia, of which Tangier is
part, metes out justice with strong
hand. The handsome Methodist
church, which is the center of the
islands religious life, cost $4,000, is
heated by steam, lighted by cleo
tricity, and is modern in every re-
spect. Brought up in this wholesome
environment, several former residents
of the island have achieved striking
success in other localities. A number
are fiourishing business men in Bal
timore and one is member of the
Baltimore city bar.
The wonderful health of the people
can be traced to their clean and regu-
lar habits. No liquor has been law
fully sold on the island fer the last
40 years. There is no fanatical OPP
position to it, however, and those who
indulge are permitted to bring it from
Baltimore and Norfolk so long as they
cause no disturbance. On all sides the
visitor is struck by the liberal views
and open-mindedness Of the people.
