To Augusta
The Heroic Loser.
Facing her ruin she stands,

Facing her ruin she stands,
With calm courage free from des-
pair;
And without backward glance, willing
hands
Bravely turn to the work that is tn re.
Few words of repining are heard,
As they face desolation so great,
And surely must come the reward
This effort deserves to create.
The forest of chimneys which stretch
Through the blocks which were once
happy homes,
Stand mute, but with power to touch
The heart of each person who comes.
In this district so stricken and stark,
With ruin which words cannot
paint,
1t has come TO the people who work
And alike to the homes of the great.
And now to Augusta the brave,
We hope that the merciful God,
Will grsnt that your future be saved
And so bring your well earned
reward. r. c. II.

DIRECT INHERITANCE TAX.
Johnson Measure to Increase Revenues
is Through Senate.

Senator Johnson's Direct Inheritance
tax bill was passed to its third read

These amendments would exempt
husband or wife from the payment Of
any tax ON inheritances from one to
the other and raises the exemption on
inheritances to child from $4,000
to $4,000.
In this form it was agreed to by in
terests which had previously opposed
it. As there is not likely TO be any
active opposition to Senator John

coming a law.

Gliding especially cocoa-cola, citro and
similar soft drinks, went TO the waste
heap in the House yesterday 80 votes
being recorded against and three votes
for it. Mr. Shriver, the author OF the

The bill had been amended, howev-

collect the tax. Mr. Lee regretted
that such eminent business men and

Mr. Shriver said the defect in the
bill could be remedied in the Senate.
His plea was in vain.

Assistant Secretary Says U. S. Would
Require Big Force for War.

A navy with 100000 men would be
nedeed by the United States in time
of war, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt yesterday told the
House Naval Committee.
England's naval force had been treb-
led since the war, he said, and added
that he United States would probably
need as large an increase in a war,
says an Associated Press dispatch to
the Baltimore News.
Mr. Roosevelt gave it as his opinion
that the United States Navy was not
sufficient TO cope with a frst-class
naval power, if the American policy
were to protect all it's coast and pos
sessions and relations with the Pan
American countries.

forth his views Of certain issues that
have been raised in the North Dakota
campaign by the Non-partisan league
placing himself on record as being
opposed to the principle of state own

pointing to the fact that such indus

THE Non-partisan league has de-

rather ambiguous statement 1t Is DIFF

to the state Of North Dakota going in
to speculative business enterprises.
Should this state build packing plants
and -four mills with funds raised from
the taxpayers, what assurance would
the taxpayers have that (through z

operating Of such enterprises, there
would be efficiency, business Judgment
