ments Of Hill are reviewed. His name
will be written big in the history or
this nation long after his detractors
have been forgotten.
Eut There was an intensely
human side to Mr.. Hill also.
He reared a large family and
enjoyed his home more than pub
lie life. There was no ostentatious
display about him. He was demo
cratic in the best sense Of the term.
Because he never advertised his char.
tiles, is no indication that he was not
charitable. The reverse is true. lie
contributed to churches, colleges, hos
pitfalls and a hundred other charities.
Unlike Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mrs.
Sage and others, this side or
Mr.. Hills life was closed
book to zthe public. He did
not pine for the plaudts ofSa ma
ton. Mr.. Hill never sought the lime
light If there was one person he
lodged more than another, it was the
newspaper man. The public prints
were always open to him; he entered
them less than any man Of his prom
inence.
He was builder, leader and SUI
premely satisfied to let his work
stand as a monument. In his mo-
ments of privacy, he read chiefly
works on agriculture and art. He
loved beautiful pictures and probably
had one of the finest private coIlec'
tons in America.
James j. Hill was foe of eXtrava-
gance. He believed that hard work
and thrift were greater factors in
success than genius. When other
systems were going into bankruptcy,
the Great Northern continued to pay
dividends, because Mr.. Hill was a
master hand at economy. He abhor-
ed an empty" as much as nature
does a vacuum. .u.
His real biography will be written
some day by those who knew him
best. What we know of this man is
fragmentary, to say the least. He
was always too busy to talk much
about himself When the odds and
ends are put together, the story OF
the Empire Builder will stand as an
inspiration to millions yet unborn.
He was the greatest self-made man
of the Northwest.

MUST FISH OR CUT BAIT.

Italy is having the war carried to
it with vengeance, and the Italian
army seems, at this writing. to be on
the point of breaking under the great
Austrian drive. Italy, as nation, will
receive scant sympathy from neutrals
in her distress.
That country entered the war from
choice and in hopes of winning long
coveted territory. In truth, Italy's
intervention bore the faint of treach-
cry, for she repudiated an alliance
with the Central Powers under which
she had been aided by Germany in
her preparations for war. Those
preparations were most elaborate and
Italy entered the war better equipped,
armed and drilled than any of the
belligerents, except Germany. She
has waged a selfish war. Not man
has been sent outside her own Dor
ders and her excellent battle fleet
has been singularly inactive.
She refused to send troops to the
aid of the Serbs, when by SO doing
she might have saved them. She
refused, or failed, to take part in the

York are not even asked to pay per-

The tendency all over the country
is in the same direction. It is felt
more and more that at least the goods
family gathers for the making of a
home should be exempt. A time may
soon come when no personal posses
siOns whatever will be taxed except
business investments. And we may
go beyond that. There is a marked
disposition both in the United States
and Canada to lessen the burden now
laid on realty improvements. New,
York is thinking of changing the tax.

buildings at lower rate than land.
