And asks that pain may pass away
This is the road that Jesus trod,
The Father says, TT is My way"

And fed upon the Life indeed.
Unto the lips of him who died
Was pressed the cup of suffering

And when we know the Crucified,
The hopes of heaven are singing

Some one who has been in
vestigating the returns from
the individual income tax
finds that the IL southern
states which constitute the
solid south, +" pay a total in
dividual income tax of ST., 564,
634, while IL northern states,
exclusive of New York, pay
a total SIG, 285,744. This
shows where the tax comes
from and an eastern exchange
remarks that a study of the

shows that a huge share of
the money is diverted in

provement of the ''rivers and

After thinking it over for
nearly three years President
Wilson has arrived at the
point reached By President
Taft in the summer of 1909.
He has concluded that there
ought TO be a tariff commits.
sion. Mr.. Taft, through the
Republicans in congress, es-
tablished a tariff board. This
board lasted only until the
Democrats got control of the
house of representatives in
the Sixty-second congress
Then they refused TO appro-
pirate furthur for it's main
tenance and it went out of ex.
istence.
To all intents and purposes
the tariff commission that
President Wilson recommends
will be on a par with the tar
iff board. It will be author
lied to investigate the effect
of customs laws, the effects
OF duties, the relation be-
tween rates on raw materials
and those on finished or part
1y finished products, to per-
feet schedules and classified
tions, to inquire into the cost
of production at home and
abroad, collect facts, study
laws and regulations as to
entry, appraisement, invoices
and collection, etc. Ofcourse
The commission, theoretical
", will be non-partisan. So
was the federal reserve board
supposed to be, but ii isn't.
So was the federal trade com
mission to be, but the Presi-
dent was careful to overlook

Rouah Edae on Coins.

Did you ever look at the edge OF
a dime or quarter? They are differ.
ent from pennies and nickels. for all
silver and gold coins have what are
called "milled" edges. while the edges
of pennies and nickels are smooth. the
Kansas City Star says. The reason
for this is that some dishonest persons
used to clip pieces of the coins. espe-
cially the gold ones. and then sell
these scraps of precious metal when
they had saved great many. Every
year the nation lost large sums of
money this way and the thieves would
smooth the edges OF SO well that 1t
was hard to find out who was guilty.
The best way of stopping this practice
was found to be to mill the edges
of the more valuable coins so that no
one could pare them without letting
II be seen at once.
