ter its creation, yet nobody has ever
put the question to test If the eX-
governor is now possessed of this in
formation and does not take steps i'm
mediately to correct the fault or
have the tax commission iudicially
ousted, he is not deserving of the
charge of self interest on the one
hand, nor is he deserving of the full
est respect of the tax payers league
on the other. Is it in greater meas
ure the duty of the ex-governor than
that of any other tax payer to make
war on the tax commission? From
a citizens standpoint, it is not. But
the fact having been called to the at
tention of the tax payers league by
one of the eX-governor's legal ability
and prominence, it is a matter in
which the league should take the ini-
tiative, and the former executive
might volunteer his service in that
behalf.

Lakeland Telegram: No president
of the United States ever made a
speaking tour under circumstances of
gravity approaching so near to ma
tional peril as the tour just conclud-
ed by President Wilson through the
Middle West, and it is equally true
that no president ever made speeches
on a tour of the country comparable
in vital force and arresting power to
those delivered last week.
They were intensely practical, ss
befitted the subject, but there was
a dynamic vibrant quality in them
that reached to brain and heart alike,
and remind one of the phrase of S. S.
Prestiss in speaking of another great
national figure: "His very fears
command our confidence, and, like the
magnetic needle, he trembles into
place."
Mr.. Wilson is one of the few pres
idents we have had who can safely
essay rhetorical flights in discussing
a practical question before a hard
headed audience of the plain people
without impairing the strength of
his argument or diminishing the i'm
pressiveness of the presidential pres
ence. And this is proof of the rare
quality of the man in the higher
reaches of mind fortified by deep
sincerity.
This from one of his western
speeches last week shows how he can
grace the iron framework of his facts
and his logic with the finer forms
CT speech that touch the imagination
Of the plain American citizen:
"The strength of America is that
pcrt of it which is not vocal. The
voice of America is a very still but

endeavor in Washington is to hear
that voice. | have often said that
1t has seemed to me very fortunate
circumstance that all the living rooms
Of the White House are on the side
from which, if you will look out of
the windows, you cannot see the city
of Washington. You see instead the
broad field of Virginia across the riv-
er. and your Imagination has free
flight over this scene, where the quiet
people on the farms and the busy peo-
pie in the factories and the absorbed
men in the. offices are realizing and
living the life of America, and there
fore from out those great spaces of
the city where politics is so intense to
the square inch. The people in those
sraces seem to send in all those
southern windows of the executive
mansion their message of reassur-
ance. That is where | listen for the

MR.. CATT'S POWER
IN EXPRESSION.

Language is a means of express
ing or communicating feeling o,
thought.
Most of us are limited in this form
of expression; to the few only has
this means of communication become
an art.
1t is his art in expression, together
with his adaptability to times and
seasons that has given the Rev. Sid
ney ]. Cats, Baptist preacher and
candidate for Governor, his peculiar
power among the plain people.
His style on the stump, or his use
of language in the promotion of his
political principles (or lack of them)
is such as to bring him into closer
communion with those he would
reach.
1t differs from his pulpit style-a
style used in urging sinners to flee
from the wrath to come. We can, by
a simple stretch of the Imagination,
picture the Rev. Sidney in revival Ell
fort as he PAGES to and fro over the
sanctuary platform pleading in elo-
quent terms with sinners to repent
while it is yet day, and before the aw-
full wrath of an outraged Deity shall
plunge them into the vortex of an |
eternal hell. We can almost see the |
scalding tears coursing down his !
cheeks as he pleads in soothing Ian
guage with lost men to escape this
eternal disaster.
1t is more difficult to imagine him
in his comparatively new role of
self-seeking politician pleading for
votes. His language is different
entirely different. But it is this abili-
ty to change-his adaptability to
circumstance-that makes him an ar
tist in the use of language.
His political style is simple, easily
understood, pointed. He has a fac
ulty of flinging expressions straight
to the bulls eye and ringing the bell.
Men who have failed to grasp the
classic in language, but whose votes
count on the fifty-fifty basis with
scholars and ecclesiastics and di,
mats, readily understand and appre-
ciate him. His words go to the very t
core of the matter in hand, penetrate G
the intellect of the pleban, or COM !
mon people, and become a tremen- =
dous power in lifting him into that i
prominence without which his name t
would be but an indistinct or passing
A case in point: t
The editor of The Punta Gorda a
Herald sought and secured an express
sion from the various gubernatorial -
and senatorial candidates regarding n
the resolutions recently passed by tie p
State executive committee, and over
which so 1huch has been said. M. ~
Cats, in giving his opinion of the res a
olutions, said: "If l were not a Ba2, h
tlst preacher and prohibited from "
using profanity, would say those n :,
resolutions are a damned outrage, e
and l am going into the courts and q
prove it. If I'm elected, I intend to I!
be inaugurated or raise hell" q
Men of the street understand such 81
language; it gets to the very core of g
the matter. 1t hits the bulls eye. a

Is Tax-Commisssion A Legal Body?-

Jennings is being criticized unjustly
because he asserted the State tax,
commission to be an illegal body on
account of the act authorizing its ap.

Because the former governor made

he is accused of being selfishly in

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. 2T, 1916.
Casing weather that has prevailed
largely during the week, has furnished
dealers an opportunity to reach the
curing sheds and examine the merits of
the new tobacco. The most prominent
feature appearing is that the leaf has
cured out remarkably thin and of such
delicate nature that the growers
must exercise unusual care that the
crop is not taken down in too high
case. The coloring of the leaf is some
what uneven as yet, which few more
casing spells is expected to remedy.
The finish and texture of the tobacco is
quite satisfactory.
There is very little doing in the mar
ket towards the purchase of the unsold
fraction of the crop.
A moderate inquiry for old leaf con-
tinues, but sales are mostly to meet
the pressing needs of manufacturers.
The only transaction of Importance
coming to notice is the sale of the bin
der grades of the 1915 packing of The
Holton Leaf Tobacco Co. at Stoughton,
made to F. S. Baines, some 700 cases.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about $50 cases to all points since
last report.

NEW YORK, OcC. Il, 1910.
The leaf market is cheered by the
tremendous activity which is beginning
to engage our cigar industry. All cigar
factories are reported TO be working
with full force not in anticipation of
the holiday orders but to fill the imme-
diate needs of jobbers and retailers. A
great deal of this unprecedented activ-
ity may be accounted for by the real
ization on the part of both jobber and
retailer that the cigar price advance
has come to stay and that with the
rushing increase in consumers prices
may be still forced to higher scale.
Moreover. if the beginning of the Fall
season places the demands to the full
capacity of the factories, how will it be
possible later on to crafty the pros
pective advance of the holiday season?
Providently, therefore, they are rush
ing under cover in keeping the factor
les busy with their orders. The leaf
market is following this movement in
the cigar industry not only with intelii-
gent alertness but also with the ut
most satisfaction. For it helps in it's
leaf buying calculations and removes
the worry of the higher prices that our
cigar leaf crops are commanding. In
the meanwhile the Market is being
cleared gradually of all odds and ends.
1t has ceased to be question of price;
it is only question of stock. j ournal.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


!. A few days of casing weather this
week has furnished the dealers an op-
portunity to gather samples of the
cured tobacco and examine into it's
merits. The coloring of the leaf has
not yet become uniform nor is it ex-
pected to reach perfection until the
hanging tobacco has gone into case and
out several times. Some Of the more
experienced packers think it will be a
mistake to take the crop from the
sheds until December. One or two
freezes is needed, so they say, after
the stems are thoroughly cured out be-
fore the tobacco is fit to strip however
early it might have been harvested.
The stems are not entirely cured yet
and heavy stems are the one thing that
the packer is most likely to shy at.
Growers have been paid uncommonly
good prices this season and it is up to
them to see that their tobacco comes to
the warehouses in as fine packing con-
dition as lies in their power to make it.
The weather conditions for curing have
been exceptionally good this year and
if growers use ordinary care in taking
down and stripping the crop there
ought to be smooth sailing in the deliv-
cry, as we trust there will be.
-
Through the activities of the fed
eral tobacco experimental station a
strain of tobacco, with per cent nico-
tine, has been developed without de-
priving it of a jot or little of its aroma.
The average nicotine content in Penn
sylvania seed leaf is BE- per cent. A
further reduction is expected as the re-
suit of continued experiments. The
object is to reduce harmful effects of
the weed.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is, 1916.

Something in the order of deadlock
has arisen between the manufacturing
element and the packers of domestic
tobacco. The manufacturers are busy
and find themselves constantly in need
of supplemental stocks, but when they
come into the market they find tobacco
of every type so high that they forbear
to buy. For this reason sales have
been very small in the past week or SO,
although the need of tobacco among
the manufacturers is very great. This
refers to the old tobaccos suitable for
immediate use. During the week re-
ports have been current of several
large sales of Shadegrown tobacco of
the new crop. Leaf.

LANCASTER. PA. Oct. 18, 191

LANCASTER, PA, Oct. 18, 1916.
Reports received during the past
week indicate that the reported losses
by the recent frosts were very much
less than at first supposed. And the
tobacco frost bitten was by no means a
total loss. Considerable of that touch
ed most lightly sold at 10 to IL cents,
while even the badly bitten brought
from Z to 81 cents. 1t is believed that
the tobacco touched lightly will cure
all right anyhow.
Probably not above one-tenth of the
new crop remains unsold, and this is
likely to be gathered up pretty soon,
unless the growers lose their heads on
prices. While most of that sold lately
brought 16 and cents, a few crops
brought cent more on wrapper goods,
but the growers are now demanding 18
to 20 cents. Offers of II have been
made to many, and the packers say
now that that is the outside price.
Whether they hold to this limit remains
to be seen. The grower undoubtedly
overestimates the shortage of old to-
bacco, bad as the situation is, and has
an idea the packer is going to get gilt
edge prices for his 1916 holdings. There
fore, he feels justified in wringing from
him the last cent.
While the greater part of the crop
has been sold, it is still very far from
the delivery point. That cut earliest
appears to have been curing nicely, but
fears are entertained of the crop at
large that it may be curing too rapidly.
There is every prospect that when the
time comes for delivery a good deal of
pickering will occur, and if there is the
amount of docking seen in some years,
nice crop of lawsuits is ahead.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 19, 1916.
While evidence to the effect that the
quality of the Connecticut 1916 crop is
almost without dissenting voice, the
leaf dealers are concerned abour the
yield. 1t has been said by several who
have kept in close touch with the sit
uation that the acreage was not nearly
as good this year as extravagant early
season reports might lead one to be-
lieve. Light wrappers, in particular,
are said to be far from plentiful enough
to supply the great demand. Local
buyers complain that prices have risen
to an unprecedented level, but they
recognize the fact that at the same
time they are getting higher grade
of. tobacco than ever before.

Birth of a Nation
At Opera House

In his acknowledgements spect-
acle, The Birth of A Nation" which
is scheduled for presentation at the
Miller opera house for matinee and
night Saturday MAY I'D. w. Griffith
the worlds master-producer. has
painted the grim tragedy of war in
the livid colors it deserves.
1t is a thrilling and awe-insplring
revisitation of war in all it's
cruelties; we behold not only the
tragedy on the field of battle, where
fall the dead and dying, but IN the
home where wait the aged parent
and little brother and sister or
daughter or son, for the message that
too often comes telling that the dear
one has died for the fag--the stars
and stripes, or the banner of blue
with the single star.
On goes the story.lt pictures the
departing of the boy from home CAV
light heart, happy. 1t shows him dying
under fire of the enemy in the miles
of flame streaked trenches, over
which bursting shells carry death to
the little force so gallently defend
ing the line Of earth-works, and
over which shrek the deadly sharp
mel.
IT is all there-the desperate
defense, the determined assault, the
fierce charge, the disasterous retreat
the field covered with the dead as
men in gray and blue fall by scores
and hundreds.
Daylight fades, and still the fight
goes on. The scene is illuminated by
bursting shells. the blazing from the
mouths of big guns and the red
glare from burning homes. The
blue of the flag of the south flutters
here, while there the red. white and
blue of the nations emblem shows
through the smoke IN the red tinge
Of battle flame.
These are but a few of the myriads
of chickering's of our national travail
in its new birth that are shown in
this sublime. grand. impressive spect
