A Poem a Day
MOTHERS DAY

MOTHERS DAY
While sympathy. caress and touch,
stand out in our reflection;
More wonderful was mothers love
IL seemed almost perfection.
In childhood days. with magic WAYS.
Tears dried by her beguiling;
And when fears filled our little heart
She scattered them by smiling.
How could she guide with patient
chide -
A child to thanks a stranger?
And yet she'd give her life. we know,
To save us from real danger.
Her prayers. her tears. for home and
dears--
For mother cen had SORROW
And " shes not passed on to heaven
Well make her glad tomorrow.
It's we'll to set apart n day
For meeting and for greeting:
Or sending Mowers or messages,
For time we know Ia fieeting.
Then sacred be the Mothers Day.
My sister. OH my brother:
No sweeter words were ever heard
Than heaven. home and mother.

important than to have a Y. M. c. A., Y. w. c. A. or big Methodist univer- sity. A few years ago we raised S200, ,OVv in a week for the Y M c. A. and the following week $1O0, 900 for the Y. w. c. A., and last year about $S09,000 was promised in short order for a university. All the children go to the public schools, oy the great majority of them, but only small Der cent can go to the university. Yester- day all of us who have offices downtown were called upon to buy tickets for the U. D. c. concert and last week to sub- scribe to the Boy Scout fund.
 It costs a man an average of a dollar a day to stay in his office, and I cannot see where he could spend his money bet ter than by helping his city out of a hole. The average man will cuss to beat the band about having his taxes raised s year, but if five or six prominent men come to his office and ask him to sub- scribe to the library fund, Children's free hospital or bathtubs for the newsboys he will fall all over himself in his hurry to show his patriotism, or generosity, or whatever you choose 10 call 1t.
 MT. Hornady says this $5 tax will be another step towards capitalization, but cannot see how he figures it. It will help to make a certain number of men pay the fire and police protection for property which they do not own.
 No one can doubt that the city needs money and should have it and I suggest that a committee be appointed, not like the famous committee of 1O0, to tell the commission what to do, but to go out and collect the cash; because I believe our commission knows better how to run the city than a lot of people who do not know all the details of running a city as large as this. Go at it just like they would collect money to build church or to have Billy Sunday here for week to save all our souls. Yours very truly,
 E. J. LEE RUST.

Will Aid Movement to Liqui- date S300,000 Debt Owed
 by Institution

In response to @ ringing appeal in be half of their alma mater made by Bishop A. W. Knight, vice chancellor of the Uni versity of the South, local members of the Sewanee Alumni association enthusi- astically joined the movement to formu- late plan to liquidate the debt of $500 coo owed by the university and many volun- teered to attend the meeting at Chatta- nooga on February g, wnen delegates from 8 cities of the south will be present and take up the proposition.
 Bishop Knight was the guest of honor at luncheon given by the local Sewanee alumni at the Tutwiler yesterday, which was well attended. He is making tour of the principal cities of the south in the interest of the institution, making an address in each to the Sewanee alumni to interest them in the Chattanooga meet ing, at which plans will be determined to raise funds to clear the debt.
 At the close of Bishop Knights ad- dress yesterday, no less than r of those present volunteered to attend the Chat tanooga meeting, and committee was appointed consisting of the Rev. w. N. Claybrook, the Rev. w. S. Poynter, the ISSN' Ni D. IodIIlWell, EQWdrQ C. AfmoS and Alvin Brown, who will take the matter up and secure as large a dele Sation as possible.
 Tn his address Bishop Knight gave a brief history of the university from the time it's only buildings were log cabins down to the present time He referred to the various causes of the present in- debtedness and stated every college in the United States had a yearly deficit, and told of the various plans by which these deficits had been met and that the plan of a general meeting of the Episcopalians of the south had been suggested as the best way of learning the needs of the college as well as it's great possibilities.
 He urged the local alumni and those interested in the university to take the mater up and send a large delegation to the Chattanooga meeting.
 Those in attendance at the luncheon were Rev. M. s. Barnwell, Dr. Carl Hencl1le, Rev. A. A. Adams, Rev. w N Claybrook Leland Rankin, David A. Shephard, Hampton s. Smith, Robert Williams Carl D.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Against Street Tax

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I have been much interested for the past few days in the proposal of the city fath- CTS, as set forth in The Age-Herald, to tax all men who are not now contributing anything to the city, county or state, $5 each, and I note with interest Mir. J. B. Woods approval of this plan in this morn ings paper. I would like very much to know however, who lives in the city without paying any taxes. Certainly the laborer who owns nothing but pays s15 a month rent on house worth 5000, is pay ing, not only the taxes and the insurance, but a fair interest on the value of the property as we'll I know of one case where the owner of house in Birming- ham, which house cost about $5OOO lived for a number of years in New York and rented the house for $500 year. The taxes on this property amount to about $6O year and the insurance to about s3O Now, if we deduct this $90, plus about s6O per year for up-keep, we have a net amount for the owner of $450 per year. or exactly per cent on the value of the property. Who is paying the taxes on this property. Who pays the taxes for a gro- cer? The people who deal with him, and. I might mention that they pay also for all the groceries bought by the deadheads who don't pay their bills. If they didn't the grocer would soon go out of business.
 There is another side to this personal tax business: It is discrimination of the rankest kind and for that reason, un- constitutional. It would be just as well to tax all who do not pay as much as $1C0 per year. In other words, this prop osition proposes to fine a man because he is poor and owns no property, even though he may be paying the taxes for man living in KeoSuk and. incidentally, paying also the taxes on this mans home in Keokuk
 If the city needs more money I would suggest that the commission appoint a committee to go out and collect the S90O : coo, or whatever amount is needed Surely to keep the schools open and to have adequate police and fire protection is more

scrap was then transferred to the house, where a decision is awaited.
 CHRONIC PROTESTER
 From a human nature standpoint the case of Prioleau against Whaley of South Carolina is doubly interesting. Prioleau is a negro, but a smart negro, it is said. He is chronic candidate for Congress inasmuch as he has offered in the last eight consecutive elections. In each he was beaten. But after each he invariably filed contest.
 The government is regarded as prodigal in the matter of paying the expenses of those who driven by ambition or other force, seek positions of honor and trust. It is said that for six consecutive terms, or F years, the republicans allowed Proleau expenses at the rate of 5000 per year. It is said that the democrats, com ing into power in 1912, declined to pay the negro's expenses, and it is indicated that the same action by the democrats will be taken this session
 At that, the negro, without hope, it is probable of ever attaining success, has managed to secure for expense purposes about $12,000 out of the treasury of the government. And it is alleged that in basking in the limelight he has had no other than a good time.
 There is no indication as to whom the decisions in the foregoing cases will be rendered.
