By consideration Of patronage and
charges Reeds attack was upon the
President under cover Of an assault On

BOARD OF TRADE SALES HELD
TAXABLE BY U. S. JUDGE

lHNFNPEE - ] " ~ W ~
In a sweeping decision, which di-
rectIy affects the transactions Of
every Board of Trade and stock ex-
change in the country, Federal Judge
Evans upheld the contention of the
internal revenue Office that all Board
of Trade sales are taxable.
The decision covers all the points
raised by the Chicago Board of
Trade, which sought a ruling on the
payment of the stamp tax imposed
by congress in 1914. The board con-
tended that only the first and. last
sales of the day were taxable and
that intermediate sales, known as
scratch sales" were exempt The
government cOntended that all sales
were taxable at the rate of cent for
each $100.
The ruling means an increase in
revenue Of several million dollars and
will result in suits to collect back
taxes, which in Chicago alone
amount to nearly $1O,OOO,O0O.

THE DEVIL HAS COM.

Men don't believe in a devil, now,
AS their fathers used to do;
They've forced the door on the broadest
creed.
To let His Majesty through.
There is not a print of his coven foot
Or n dart from his fiery uoN,
To he seen in earth or air, To-Day.
For the world has voted So.
Who dogs .he steps" OF the tollnS saint
And digs a pit for his feet?
Who sows the tares in the fields of Time,
Wherever God sows His wheat?
If the devil isn't and never was.
why. of course the thing is true;
But who is doing the kind of work,
That the devil alone should do?
We are told he does not go about
AS "A roaring lion, now,
But whom shall we hold responsible
For the everlasting row
To be heard in home, in church and State.
To the earths remotest bound.
If the devil by IA unanimous vote.
Is nowhere to be found?
Won't somebody step to the front forth
with.
And make his bow and show
How the frauds. and crimes of a single
day,
Spring up? We want to know.
The devil is fairly voted out,
And of course the devils gone,
But simple people would like to know.
