perience to make these things any
more than mere names. As ! go along

danger is funny.
"My pair Of innocents knew enough
to be sure that one could drink gin
with safety, whiskey without fatal re-
suits. liquors with comparative calm
ness, and so on. Out of the tails Of
their otherwise preoccupied eyes they
had seen their spouses drink these
things and survive them. If precipice
yawned beneath them they didn't sus-
pect it.
my question was; will the audi
ence get the full, terrifying effect Of
this mixture of gin, whiskey, YER
mouths, cordials, etc, and howl their
heads off, or will they sit solemnly
through it and wonder why I'm wasting
their time?
"The answer is that every audience
has begun to litter at the very sight
of so many bottles. and has been in
ar uproar by the time the cocktail
was finished. I do not believe there
have been a dozen people in that thea
ire this year who have not known how

So Mr.. Wynn started an elevcnyear
vaudeville career. During that time,
he declares, he never repeated an act
once to an audience, never used ma
terial of any kind that he didn't COM
pose himself. In addition 10 writing
his own acts, he found time to COM
pose numerous vaudeville sketches.

upon such estates is sane and
fair.
1t would have been a splen-
did thing for the country had
a federal inheritance tax been
enacted long ago. It would
have reduced ordinary forms
of taxation and been of real
service to men now surfeited
with wealth to such an extent
their stamina is impaired.
The platform of the pro-
greSSive party in 1912 had a
plank that said: I'VE pledge
our party to enact such a fed
eral law as will tax large in
heritances."
The present administration
is enacting that principle into
law. 1t is but one of many
good things advocated by the
progressives and brought to
realization by Woodrow Will
son.
Where Mr.. Hughes stands
on this subject is not known,
but while governor of New
York he fought the federal in
come tax amendment. There
fore tits logical to suppose he
opposes an inheritance tax.
Meanwhile there are NUT
erings by republican newspa-
pers, indicating opposition to
the inheritance tax feature.
This is particularly true in the
east, In some sections it will
be made an issue against Will
son.
How can such forces expect
to win over the bull moose vote
when they thus oppose cardi-
nal principles for which the
progressive party stands?
Will it not be common sense
for progressives to support the
man who has shown by his
record that he is of progressive
mind?

m HOSE who for lack of

take comfort in the fact one
renowned philosopher says
people should not do such
things anyway.
Bergson, the French philo-
sopher, says that it is a good
thing for people to go through
the varying temperatures of
winter and summer.
Nature has so designed that sum.
mer heat should forcibly open the
pores and eliminate much accumu-
lated disease matter; while winter
should serve to strengthen the or
ganism, more especially the circula
tory apparatus Hence those who
seek toequalize their temperature by
fleeing tos a warm climate In winter,
and to a cool one in summer, coun-
ter nature. In winter there is

Mr.. Ressler asserted, what

NNNE are again negotiating
U for the purchase of the
st. Thomas group of is
lands in the Caribbean. The
islands are of much greater val
ue to us than to Denmark. The
inhabitants would be much
more prosperous and content
ed under Washington rule
than under Copenhagen rule.
The only point of doubt as to
the proposed treaty is the price,
This is placed in the early re-
ports at the incredible sum of
S25,000,00O.
For 3141 islands in the Phil
ippineS, with 115,026 square
miles and a population approx
mating 10,000,000, we paid
$20,O0O,0OO giving ground for
Tom Reeds bitter epigram
about Filipinos at 50 a head,
but, of course, that was at the
end of a war with the former
owners. The island of st,
Thomas has 33 square miles,
that of st. John 21 and that of
st. Crois "a, a total of 1873
square miles, with a total popu-
lation of $4,000, mostly color
ed. This figures out at the.
rate of about S181, ,159 for each
square mile of the islands and
nearly $1,000 a head for each
inhabitant. The average price
for each acre of mountain and
rock as we'll as arabic land is
1888, which price does not
give the ownership of the land
but only the right to govern it,
The Danes are driving a hard
bargain.
We were offered the islands
in 1867 for $7,50O,O0O and re-
fused them. In the treaty for
their purchase negotiated inI
1902 the price was put at S5,-
100000 but the Danish parlia-
ment declined to sell at that
figure. Assuming that what we
were willing to give in 1902 |
