KINGS AND THEIR INCOMES
From It'd Bits)

(From lid Bits)
According to reliable reports, the
war has brought about a decided
diminution in the income of the
kaiser. The tearing up of the little
scrap of paper" has. already cost
him personally 5000, 900. Wilhelm,
however, has still a respectable for
tune left, if a recent calculation by
Herr Martin, an authority on Ger
man rich people, is correct. Will
helm vas supposed to be worth
81. 1000, 900, but Herr Martin has
pointed out that a trifle of, roughly,
$4,000, 900, the valuation of the
kaiser's forest lands and farms, has
been overlooked. This brings up the
royal estate to a total of f2O ,OOG,-
900.
Deehah H tnhe ai richest At"wH ME5aSHarch in ""t The
world. This honor belongs to the
car. who on his accession came into
the RomanOff private estate, yielding
about f2, 10000 0 a year. Beyond
that, his salary amounts to another
1900, 600, besides many profitable
investments abroad. There are
small expenses to be deducted, such
as some 100000 a year to grand
dukes and duchesses, but when ev-
erything is taken into account the
cars income is far ahead of that of
the Turkish sultan, with 1880, 900,
, or our w king, who is the poorest
in pelfand palaces of all the Old
World potentates. A state grant of
81 100000, added to his other rev.
enues, brings the czar's income up
to $4,000, 200 a year. Out of this
he has at least 95.000,0OO a year for
his private use.
King George receives f47O, 900
per annum from the state, but little
more than a fourth of this goes into
the privy purse. 1t would be natur-
ally impossible for our king to live
in a manner BETTING to his rank on
an income of 100000 or so, but
there are miscellaneous revenues
from invested funds and other pri-
vate sources which help to swell the
privy purse.
The emperor of Austria, who is al
20 king of Hungary, draws two sal
aries, amounting to 1862, 800 each.
The king of Italy receives $3.50, 900
a year, but has to make allowances
to several members of the royal
family out of it. King Alfonso has
an allowance of f%357,50O, a sum
which is his own to spend as he
pleases. Belgium's king receives
about f175,000.

CENTENNIAL NOT A LOCAL AFFAIR


A purely local enterprise is seIdAn
a very large affair, so that ii is imper-
ative the people should understand
that the Mississippi Centennial Expo
sition is in no way a Guliport cxposi
ton. That the big show is essentially
a statew wide enterprise, for all M.issis
sippi and to be made up OF all of Mis-
sissippi's best in every way and from
every remote corner. That Gulfp0rt
has only such part in the affair as
may have every other city, town and
community In the State-that Of ex-
plotting all its resources and advan-
tages before the eyes of the thousands
OF people who will be attracted to the
exposition. That this exposition ia a
giant OPPORTUNIT made by
Mississippians for all Mississippi and
that even from Its very inception the
project is designed to foster the well
being and future prospects of the most
remote corner OF the State.
That individual or community which
fails to realize this truth is the victim
Of a fatal civic blindness and Is apt to
TOO late deplore the fact

1t swallows your money,
Your home or your bank;

More likely a blank.

'Tis a game at long taw;
With knuckles turned downward,
You shoot in the dark.
And one in ten chances
You may hit the mark.

A legaliZed flaw.
That cumbers our statutes.
And cripples our state,
Makes office a snipe game,
A toss-up of fate.

Your mouth it will pucker
Without and within,
Till never again
You'll be able to grin.

You suck it, and suck it.
And draw up-despair.

about our business is that u Gus

apparent among Mexicans resi-

result of the friendly tone of the
last note sent to Washington, ac-
