Greatest Temptation
 h Way of Youths

New York, Nov 23.-Jacob II. Schiff believes woman is the great est temptation a young man faces in New York.
 Schiffs was one of several replies received by Dr. F. W. Adams to his query:
 What is the most susceptible temptation to the young men and women in New York;"
 John Wanamaker said wasted time is at the bottom of more sin than anything else"
 Fifty dollars spent on twenty dollar income, was the reply of President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia
 "To be crooked in business to gain social success" was the opn- ion of Chief Justice Isaac r. Rus sell
 Katherine B. Davies said it was the desire for pleasure, and Mabel Crafty of the Y. W. C. A. said it was the desire for clothes
 Dr. Adams himself said it was the desire to pose to be unreal.

MAY TAKE LEGISLATIVE ACT
 TO LEGALIZE COLLECTION OF
 THE ROAD AND BRIDGE TAX

According to opinions expressed by local attorneys, including Pros ecuting Attorney M. P. Huddleston and his deputy. Robt. E. Fuhr, a serious condition exists here and In other counties in the state with reference to the road and bridge fund.
 Heretofore the general elections at which the three mill road and bridge tax was voted by the cleo tors, were held in September. The law fixes the third Wednesday in October as the time for the ses- sion of the levyiug. or quorum. court. Consequently, the levying court, in leyying a three mill road and bridge tax, always acted upon the authority vested in it by the electors who voted the tax in Sep tember. This year, under the con solidated election law, tho election lat which the tax was voted was held after the meeting of the quo rum court. The court levied the usual three mill road and bridge tax, but the levy is ineffective be- cause the people had not voted such tax when the levy was made by the court. All other taxes lev jed by the court, which includes the state, school, pension, special, coun- ty general and municipal, had al ready been either levied by the proper authorities or the power to levy was vested solely in the court The road and bridge tax is the on- Fly tax levied by vote of the cleo tors.
 Under this process of reasoning land construction of the law the col lcctor. when he starts on his an nual rounds in January, will not be .authorized to collect the three road and bridge tax. Mir, Huddleston suggests the only remedy will lie in Ian act of the general assembly levy ing the tax and authorizing the collectors in the various counties to collect the tax from the property owners.
 Discussing this matter the Arkan- sas Gazette this morning said:
 "Although several counties may be without road tax funds for next year there is no probability that a special session of the legislature will be called, although such a course has been advocated by J. M. Carter of Texarkana, according to state officials.
 "W. B. owen, chairman of the Istate highway commission, yester- day said he would not favor a spe- cial session of the legislature. Judge

New Orleans, Nov 23.-John M. Parker, who was the progressive candidate for vice president, made public here yesterday a letter receiy- cd from President Wilson express ing his appreciation of MT.

 My Dear MT.

 Cordially Yours,
 (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. "

OFFICIALLY DEAD,
 BUT STILL LIVES
Negro Who "Expired'' at Convict Farm, Is Able to
 Violate Law Again.

Little Rock, Nov. 23.-Eddie Courtney, negro, Is years old, who, according to penitentiary records died and was buried on the state farm at Cummins September IA, 1914, after serving about five months of a IA year sentence, now is working on the county roads of Phillips county That was informa- tion given by Sheriff Amos Jarman of Helena, who brought several pris- oners to the penitcntiary.
 Sheriff Jarman has asked John T. Burkett, secretary of the penitenti- ary commission, what reward will be paid for the return of Courtney and has been assured that if the ne gro is positively identified, he will be given a reward of $25.
 A death certificate and other pa pers showing that Courtney died of malaria and was buried on the state farm, are on file at the penitenti- ary. Yet the negro in Phillips coun- ty says he is the same man.
 Sheriff Jarman could not be To- cated last night, but friends with whom he talked while here said he has positive assurance that the ne gro working the roads i'll his county is the same Courtney certified as having died at the state farm.
 Sheriff Jarman says the negro really believes that he died and re turned to life. He told the sheriff that the penitentiary officers wrap ped some kind of covering about his body and threw it in fencc corner The negro said he camo to life anc returned to Helena. Evidently his pression on Eddie's behavior for soon after he returned to Helena he was in the tolls of the law again.
 Local physicians who were con suited last night said it is quite pos sible that the negro might have lapsed into unconsciOusness so utter that it would be easy to believe that he was dead. Assuming that the negro's story is true, they said this undoubtedly is what occurred.
 Wardens at the penitentiary last night said that Courtney was com mjtted there May IS. 1914. He had been sentenced to serve 14 years for burglary In giving the informa- tion, records were consulted.
 Considerable doubt exists in the minds Of penitentiary officials re- garding the law in this case. If aft CT investigation it is found that Courtney can be returned to the pen itentiary, he probably will be brought here when he has complet-

 A tooth paste company wanted to photograph Miss Rankins teeth. It is willing to pay $5,000 for the pie ture.
 An auotmobile concern asked the privilege of presenting q new model car to Miss Rankin, if she would merely consent to having her owner ship used for advertising purposes.

The air was cleared at once, and this single act did very much to improve our foreign rela- tiOnS.
 Rising to a higher plane than his the president exerted his personal in- f1uence to the utmost at very serious political risk in order to secure a repeal of that provision in the Pana- ma canal legislation which exempted American ships from the payment os tolls. This exemption, in the judg- ment of many among our best men in every walk of life, was a distin ct violation of the treaty with Great Britain by which we secured the right to build the canal without her parti- cipation, and the president in his ad- dress to congress- while stating that he shared this opinion, appealed to his countrym ent in words which every American citizen will remember with pride, when he said: "Whatever may be our own differences of opinion concerning this much debated meas ure (the treaty with Great Britain) it's meaning is not debated outside the United States. Everywhere else the language of the treaty isr given but one interpretation, and that in depreciation precludes the exemption l am asking you to repeal We con- scented to the treaty; its language we accepted, if we did not originate it; and we are too big, too powerful. too self-respecting a nation to inter- pret with too strained or refined a reading of words our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please.

show that until the war changed
 every. condition the Underwood act
 produced more revenue than the
 Payne act, that it increased the sur
 plus in the treasury instead Of caus-
 ing a deficit, that it did not drain the
 treasury of gold, and that, in short,
 as a revenue producer the system of
 taxation esta blished by the democrats
 was a success, and not a failure as is constantly asserted. Whatever it's
 defects, however. the new tariff is a
 great step towards the abolition of protection, which has been for years a prolific source of political corrup- ton in this country. When men can buy the right to tax their neighbors hy contributions to campaign funds, an example is set which is Soon fol- ! lowed by all who can gain private ad- 1 vantage by legislative action, whether in nation, state, or city; and bribery l of legislators, the more dangerous be- | cause it takes the form of advancing 1 their political fortunes instead of di- 1 rect pecuniary payment, grows by 1 tolera ton.

 posed to unjust suspicion and attack 1 from which the supreme court has
 not been free, and it needs all the l weight and all the authority that it l can command. It's members should
 be beyond the reach of any tempta- l ton, and no one can do it worse 1'injury than he who should give even 1 it's worst enemy a chance to suggest l that it's action on any great question

 fit president, but we cannot contem-
