many of those who have most large
ly failed in the payment of income
taxes are those who are best able
and who should most readily pay
their Just share of the nations eX-
penses.
But the identity of the thieves is
for the present a minor questions.
The big question relates to the
amount of revenue which the nation
is losing through the failure to COL
lect the income tax.
This question must be answered
largely by statistical proofs, Whcn,
to be convincing, must be set forth
in detail. Through them will show
YOU that the national income is
much greater than the estimates
which are currently accepted. The
national income in 1910, as can be
demonstrated from federal statistics,
was approximately thirty-six and
one-haIf billions, instead of thirty
billions at which it has generally
been estimated.
The income which was Intentional
" Or unintentionally omitted in MAX
ing these estimates of national in
come was that derived from the in
crement in the value Of property.
This omitted income, amounting to
more than six billion dollars a year
in 1910 is exactly the income which
is most largely subject to the in
come tax. In 1914 this value mere
ment had grown to be not less than
eight billion dollars a year, and only
an insignificant fraction of it was
assessed under the income tax.
Similarly the tax failed almost en-
tireIy to reach the gains resulting
from sDecUlative transactions, which

FALL PLANTING or ROSES
BY PRISCILLA PAkE.

Fall planting of roses may be done
in the latter part of October or early
in November, or even as late as the
middle of December, with excellent re-
suits.
r ,ses planted in the fall, however,
should be set deep and banked well
with earth just before the ground
freezes. It is also well to cover the
soil about the plants with manure,
which should not be removed until the
middle of April CIR until all danger
from severe frost is over, whereupon
this dressing may be forked under.
When the rose plants are received
from the nurseryman they should be
unpacked as soon as they come to
hand. Thereupon the tops and roots
should be well sprinkled with water,
after which they should be covered
with bagging and placed in a shaded
spot until ready to plant.
If the ground is not prepared when
the plants arrive, it is advisable to put
them in shallow trench and cover the
roots with loose soil until the ground
can be put into proper condition.
The enrichment of the soil, however,
should not only be made at the time of
the preparation of the bed before plant
ing, but in the spring of every year,
for with such attention bountiful
supply of flowers may be expected
every season.
When planting, spread the roots out
carefully and do not cross them or
crowd them. They should be placed
well below the surface of the soil and
arranged, as far as possible, in their
natural position.
When the roots are covered the
earth should be firmly pressed down
upon them, particularly around the
stem. If manure is put in the bottom
of the hole it should not be allowed to
come in contact with the roots.
After planting, the roses should be
well cut back to few buds, freely wa
tered and protected for few days if
the sun is strong. After that they will
have become thoroughly established

Short Speeches in 1860.

On the third day of the 1850 con-
vention when other business had been
disposed of and nominations were in
order, Mr.. Evarts of New York, in few
er than 80 words presented William H..
Seward for the nomination, the Phila-
tielphia Telegraph observes. Mr. Judd
of Illinois was equally brief in present
ing Abraham Lincoln. The names of
William l.. Dayton of New Jersey; of
Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania of
Salmon p. Chase of Ohio; of Edward
Bates of Missouri, and of John Me-
Lean of Ohio We're presented. but few
er than two dozen words We're used In
any instance.
1t is not by elaborate and eloquent
nominating speeches that the choice
of presidential candidates is deter
mined. The reasons influencing dele
gates are of a different character. But,
If speeches much be made, a reason
able brevity will make them all the
more effective. Two of the best re-
membered nominating speeches ever
made in a national convention were

1876 and by Daniel Dougherty nom

are received it is better to postpone
the planting, as the soil is liable to
become baked and the safety of the
plants may be thus endangered.
During a dry season the rose re-
quires plenty of water, and frequently
soaking the bed with liquid manure
will be beneficial. The moisture may
also be conserved by abundant cultiva-
ton.
In the winter the roses should be
protected with a good mulch, which is
best done by covering the roots in De-
cember with coarse litter, or leaves, to
about six inches in depth, or they may
be covered with evergreen boughs OF
similar material.
But if the exposure is very great it
is advisable to lay the plants down and
cover them with earth, putting them to
sleep, as it were, on the bosom of
Mother Nature.

BOY TOOK CHANCE OFFERED

In an Indiana town was trying boy
on a charge of stealing stamps from
his employer. The evidence was pure
ly circumstantial The boy had
cleaned his employers desk and a
short time later he tried to sell to all
other employee the same number of
stamps that had been missed from the
desk. The judge considered the evil
dence of the men who worked at the
saIhe place and then called the police
man who had arrested the boy.
Now" said the court, "did either
of you see this boy take the stalnps?"
"No, your honor, but the boy has
made a full confession to u.s.
The court looked at the boy, who
WINGED slightly at this statement.

may be. But I'm for absolute justice
In this court, and nobody saw the boy
take the stamps. The defendant is
discharged"
The next day the boy returned the

couRTINe YOUR DAUGHTER.

Lovet What a volume in a word, an
ocean in a tear,
A seventh heaven in glance, a whirl-
wind in sigh,
The lightning in a touch-a millennium
in moment!
What concentrated joy, or woe, in blest
or blighted love!
The happiest time in the lives of
parents seems to be when their chill
dren are young enough to chase nut
terflies, play marbles, roll hoops or
fondle dolls. Their trials commence
when daughter grows tall enough to
lengthen her dresses to her shoetops
and begins to attract the attention of
boys.
With the first call of young man,
the parents face the situation that
their child will follow the fate of all
womankind--fall in love. be wooed and
marry. When a young man falls into
the habit of calling regularly, they
avowal of love and being asked for
daughters hand, the youth having al
ready pre-empted her heart.
1t is but natural that they should
experience anxiety. The happiness
of their darling's future as well as
their own peace of mind, is at stake.
All men during the courtship period
put their best foot forward If they
have any bad habits, Go they make a
frank avowal concerning them? Not a
bit of it. On the contrary, nine men
out of ten hide them SO carefully and
so deeply that they are seldom un-
earthed.
In small towns and villages, fathers
have the advantage. They have seen
the suitor who comes accounting grow
from boy to man. They know his rep
utation, good, fair or bad and can
make pretty good guess as to what
his future will be. They know whether
he is sober and industrious, keeps
good hours and whether his associates
of both sexes are a credit or disgrace
to him.
The father, of the city girl has many
more difficulties to face. A young
man has so many paths spread out be-
fore him that no one can tell how
far he travels on the one or the other.
The girl and her parents are almost
entirely at his mercy regarding his
character. He may have friendships
that no one save himself will ever
know about. He may live one kind
of life in one part of the town and
quite another in the other end of the
city.
1t is no wonder the fathers of daugh-
ters insist upon wintering and snm-
mering even the best of young men
ere agreeing to a betrothal. They
know that a good son-in-law is the
greatest blessing family can gather
unto itself; that a rascal is the worst
calamity it could be forced to ep-
dure

time.
While the man upon whom she has
placed her hopes is still single, a king
among men could not win her. She
is ever contrasting him-and to his
discredit-with the man her heart
yearns for. If the other was witty
even to frivolity, the earnest, solemn
young man will prove irksome to her.
If the first one was fop, delighting
In arousing her jealousy by staring
with apparent admiration at other
girls and actually flirting before her
face and eyes, she will not appreciate
the honorable man who would not con-
descend to torture and shame her in
like manner.
The average woman loves devotedly.
To her, her hero is a god. His toler-
ant glance is worth any other man's
most considerate devotion. Unless a
man can be the first tenant of a maid
EMS heart, he must take his chances of
after happiness should his persuasion
influence her to wed him.
Even after marriage to good, true
husband, there are women foolish
enough to sigh over scapegrace they
have fortunately missed, wondering if
the happiness they are tasting is real
happiness or if they would have been
more contented had they wed the man
they loved first. A husband finds it
mighty hard to please that kind of a
wife.
She would never believe she had es-
capped a hard life of it by not getting
the man she liked best. If the old
flame fickers ever so slightly in her
breast the husband finds out at last
that he is welded to a woman who
should have remained single. Both
men and women should be absolutely
sure old loves are weeded out of their
hearts ere they contract new alliances.

cLEMATIs A GOOD VINE

Clematis, panniculata, is one of our
most popular vines. 1t seems entire
ly free from disease and is unusually
hardy. Its foliage is attractive and
it's small white blossoms which COM
pletely cover the vine make glorious
spectacle over porches and pergolas.
One of it's chief attractions is that
it does not come into bloom until
after all the other vines are faded and
yellow. 1t is rapid grower.
C1ematis must be planted in soil
of good loan, well drained. Give it
protection of leaves in the winter.

| from each other, notes, which might
well be called letters, fly thick and
| fast between them. Even the tele-
| phone is resorted to to keep in touch
with one another almost every hour
of the day.
The winning stranger soon becomes
possessed of the other woman's inner
most secrets-that she has little or
no hold, perhaps on her husbands
| heart-or of her longing for children
which have been denied her; that her
relatives-in-law were not pleased over
her marriage with the idol of their
| family, openly declaring that he could
have done better than wed a girl who
was obliged to make her own way in
| the world.
The agreeable stranger dimes at her
new-found friends home almost every
evening of the week. At last she is
| invited to come there altogether. From
| the outset, the husband uttered a mild
protest against his wife becoming a
| friend too quickly with one Of whom
she knew so little. His better half
| thought differently. Womanlike, she
longed for aecompanion to whom she
could pour out the story of her trou-
bles, fancied or real, feeling sure Of
sympathy and caresses.
Being thrown constantly in the
strangers company, morning, noon and
evening, he finds his prejudice against
| hnp h11f ell Yn
feels ashamed within his own heart
| that he mistrusted so charming crea-
! ture of being insincere in her likings
or intents. But mushroom friendship
which blows hot too quickly cools as
| suddenly. Such wives find that the
attractive stranger whom they have
established in their homes is in real
! ity more of stumbling block to their
happiness than a soothing confidant.
When stranger becomes possessed
of the secrets a good wife should keep
to herself the wife is in that other
woman's power. Her husband may
turn to her for her opinion on mat
| ters on which he should properly con-
suit his wife only Even the servants
have to be corrected for taking their
orders from her. The wife is sorely
tired She fears to make a disturb

realizes she has been to blame in max

too quickly.
/ Some friendships are costly. Many
a woman has paid for them with a
loss of peace, happiness and hope. The
woman too ardent of nature should
take heed, remembering that the new
found friend who smiles the sweetest
can also frown the darkest if she
fancies occasion demands it. The
honeyed-tongue can also utter sneer:
