The Young Man who is at present
Hans Wagering at short for the Pi-
rates, is James Lawrence Smith. He
has quite an arm. Smith was devel-
oped in the Federal League. Tinker
had him in Chicago two years ago,
and sent him to Baltimore last sea-
son in the deal for Mike Doolan. The
Pirates took Smith on training trip
last Spring and then sent him to To-
ronto. When the International season
ended, Smith was recalled.

NATIONAL DECNDENCE.

In a recent article appearing In the

er after describing some of the lewd

national dccadenCe that wilt permit
every form Of vice to be paraded be-

"a splendid tribute to the growth of
thrift in the country.
One Of the chief causes of thrift
iessness among Americans is false
pride. Many men and women have
the inclination to save money, but
khe desire to make an appearance Of
afiiuenec or prosperity keeps them
constantly in debt. To 90 in debt for
Iuxuries is an exceedingly bad prac-
tice. 1t amounts to spending, I'M
necessarily, money not yet earned.
IL Is unfortunate, perhaps, that peo-
pie arc judged somewhat by their
clothes, and by their methods of
livelihood. 1t is also unfortunate
that the exactions OF modern bust
ness, especially in the great cities, de-
mand often that a man, in order TO
hold his own with his associates.

NEW MEXICO's MIDDLE.

Does New Mexico wish TO turn back
the clock for twenty-five ycars2 Do
the old days, when road taxes were
collected and no roads built; when
school taxes were collected and no
schools taught, appeal TO them? DO
they wish for conditions in which,
II they offend county boss, their as
sessments will be increased as q pun
ishment?
The voters are face to face with ex-
actly those questions.
New Mexico has made wonderful
progress during the past five years.
Public monies have been intelligent
Iy employed for the public good. If
the taxes on any piece Of property
were too high, the owner had recourse
to the courts without cost to himself
More than one thousand such suits
have been filed in Eddy county alone.
If the taxes assessed were not high
enough, The tax commission has the
power to raise them, and has done 80
until there is fairly equal distribution
OF the burden.
This condition was made possible
by the election of W. c. Mcdonald to
the governOrship. lie undertook to
SEQ that the people of the STATE had 4
run for their money. He went after
the tax dodgers. and got most OF
them He sent the travelling auditor
into all counties, regardless of whelh-
er the officials we're democrats or
republicans, and where ever there was
graft. or carclessncss, or any form of
incfflclcncy such officials were
brought to book, Some Of them were
removed through action Of the courts.
and others we're compelled to make
good shortages in their accounts.
From first to last. the Mcdonald
administration has been the friend of
the schools and the roads, which
means that II has been the champion
Of progress for state whose affairg
in territorial days were models Of

Between this and the close of the
great conflict in Europe, situations of
the utmost dclcacy are sure to arise.
Germany may resume her policy Of
sinking merchantmen without warn
ing, I'm such circumstances, who
should be trusted TO guide the ship Of
state? Would we feel safer with
Hughes. the inexperienced man who
has just had some dealings with the
partsans of one of the belligeront
powers OF Europe, or with Wilson, the
experienced pilot who mas carried us
safely through the gravest dangers?
The result at the polls may be very

three electoral votes may decide who
shall be the next president of the
United States There are hundred
reasons why we should prefer Wilson
to Hughes, Is there one reason why
you should prefer Hughes to Wilson?

must maintain constant appearance
OF prosperity, even though it is false.
One OF the frailties of human nature
is the fact that the world has little
or no sympathy for failure, and the
mere appearance Of being hard up"
IS detrlment to a man Of business.
In these matters, however, there al
ways is happy medium, and, while
the world may turn a cold shoulder
to the. man whose appearance sug-
gests that he is not prosperous it still
treats him more kindly than one who
Is out OF money and in debt. Sensi-
bic thrift or, as | have said before,
the greater thrift, should be practiced
in these matters to the end that a
man will never allow himself to be-
come hopelessly involved in debt and
at the same time avoid an existence
Of miserliness.
The high cost of food and clothing,
and the exactng demands of chang
ing fashions, are stumbling blocks to
those who would live frugal lives.
But the rewards of thrift are so sat-
istying and so substantial that they
are worth the aacSifcfs- of personal
pride that are demanded.
The Importance of thrift has been
given official recognition by the
Canadian government in connection
with its new war loan. The Minister
OF Finance declares that thrift cam
paign must be conducted in the Do
minion in order that money may be
obtained for munitions and supplies
for the army. This shows the ma
tional value of personal thrift. While
it means considerable from a none
tary standpoint. its greatest virtue,
perhaps, lies in its reflected influence
on the lives of the neooie.

suRrNX ON VACANT LANDS.

Tho surtaX on vacant lands in Al
hcrta and Saskatchewan provinces,
Canada, is working so satisfactorily
that there is talk of adopting it in
Manitoba. 1t has been found that
this form of taxation not only in
creases the public revenue, but moves
landholdors, absonteos and others to
do something with their real estate in
order to make It productive. Thus,
the landholdor who, under the system
which enabled him to draw unearned
increment from vacant land because
OF his neighbor's Industry and enter
prise, and to hold it for a rise, finds
it necessary under the land surtaX
system either to improve the proper
~ himself or to sell it to those who
will improve It,
