WHAT SECRECY DOES.

AT the beginning of the European
war the wealth of Great Britain was
estimated at $90,O00,0OO, 900, and the
total annual income Of her people at
$12,000,000,000. Now the same semi
official authorities, in spite Of the raw.
ages of the war, place the wealth OF
Great Britain at $133, 100000 900, and
the income Of her people at $20,OOO,-
100000.
The reason for this enormous in
crease in the estimates is very sim
pie. Before the war the British mil
lionaires were concealing their
wealth and lodging their income tax
es. Now Great Britain has been
forced by her necessities to see that
every shilling of the taxes is paid
and her citizens, seeing her dire need,
are also paying their taxes more will
ingly than ever before. In this way
billions that have hitherto been con-
cealed are brought to light.
These new estimates of the British
wealth and income show the absurd
ity of the official estimates that have
been made of the wealth and income
Of the people of the United States.
' The United States census placed
the national wealth at $1S7, 900, 900 900
in 1912, and Secretary of the Treas.
ury McAdoo places the national in
come at only $20,0OO,oO0,O0O.
1t is upon this estimate that he
bases his contention that the United
States income tax is being evaded to
the extent Of more than 100000, 900
year. The absurdity of McAdoo's
estimate is apparent as soon as it Is
remembered that the United States
has more than twice the population
and nearly 40 times the area of Great
Britain! To clinch the argument, the
income of the United States from az
riculture is five times as great as that
of Great Britain, from mining twice
as great, from railroads four times
as great.

HOW FLEETING is FAME!

It apears that a recent issue of the
New York World contained this re.
markable statement:
"The only woman who ever ran for
President Of the United States was
Belva A. Lockwood, who was candi-
date against Grant. She died several
years ago, aged about eighty-fve
after many years of legal practice as
member Of the Washington, D. c.,
bar" +
And now comes Belva Lockwood in
her proper person and, like we'll
known humorist of yore, states. that
the reports of her death have been
greatly exaggerated, since she is still
living in Washington. The worlds
statement may be dismissed as re-
portorial or editorial inaccuracy, the
joke in which is mostly on itself.
Yet there is an underlying note of
pathos in the incident.

remarkable characters of the age and
one to whom the women Of America
owe debt which can never be fully
cancelled. Through her instrument
tally the bills giving female federal
employees equal pay with males and
the bills which would admit women
to the United States Supreme court
were passed by congress. Belva Lock
wood was pioneer in the woman
suffrage movement. Few women have
had as great honors thrust upon
them and none have been more wor.
thy to receive them. She did not, as
the World states, run against Grant
for the Presidency but against Blaine
and Cleveland in 1884 and Harrison
and Cleveland in 1888. For a third
Of a century she has been one of the
foremost figures of the woman's
world.
The forgetfullness OF the great
newspaper but emphasizes how eph-
emeral is fame and how fleeing
mans gratitude.

BOB CAT KILLED
BY AGED WOMAN

Center, N. D., July 31.-Mrs. VIM.
Rekou, 70 years Of age, living south
west Of Hanover, had an experience
week ago that could have proven
very serious, but as it was, resulted
in her becoming a heroine. The lady
killed a monster bob cat with a stick.
Dogs had discovered the animal
near the farm buildings, and Mrs.
Rekou thinking it was a coyote after
her chickens, picked up small stick
and gave it battle. A well directed
and timely blow did the business.
Despite her advanced age she pick
ed it up and carried it fully quar-
ter of mile, though it was extreme
1V large, standing higher than an
average dog.
She was quite unconcerned about
the affair until she learned the ident-
ity of the animal and it's ferocious ma
ture. Ts
