As Other Mortclx.
Perhaps Congress has placed itself
in the class of the drones, from whom
it Is content TO exact only an income
tax, while it forces the workers who
are not content to be idle TO pay
both the existing income tax and the
additional per cent on the amount
of its salary in excess of 5000.
The section in the revenue bill.
which specifically exempts Congress
men from the payment Of the added
tax reads:
This shall apply to all trades or
businesses of whatever description,
whether. continuously carried on or
not, except-in the case of officers
and employees under the United
States, or any State. territory, or the
District of Columbia, or any local
subdivision thereof. the compensation
or fees received by them as such Of
ficers on employees
When asked on Tuesday whether
the s per cent tax would apply to
members of the legislature, as well
az professional and salaried men.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
committee on finance and many
others of senatorial body. declared
with the most convincing vehemence
that as far as the revenue bill was
concerned, our law makers were but
as other mortals ard they would be
forced TO dig down into their pockets
with the multitude and contribute
their bit,
Their assurances denote either an
anxiety to conceal from the public
the existing State of affairs or a
lamentable ignorance on their part
of the significance of the action taxi

Endorsed.

Lincoln In a
Historic Minute

In "Reminiscences of Wartime
Statesman and Diplomat Frederick
w. Seward, son Of Lincoln's secretary
of state, wrote:
Thursday, Jan. 1, 1868, was marked
by an event that will always be mem-
orable in history. Slaves in all the re-
gions remaining in rebellion were to be
on that day declared entitled to free
dom. The emancipation proclamation
had been duly prepared at the state de-
partment and was ready for President
Lincoln's signature.
AT noon, accompanying my father,
carried the broad parchment in large
portfolio under my arm. We. thread
ing our way through the throng in the
vicinity of the White House, went up
stairs to the presidents room, where
Mr.. Lincoln speedily Joined us. The
broad sheet was spread open before
him on the cabinet table. Mr.. Lincoln
dipped his pen in the ink and then,
holding II moment above the sheet,
seemed to hesitate. Looking around,
he said:
~ never In my life felt more certain
that l was doing right than l do In
signing this paper. But l have been
receiving calls and shaking hands since
o o'clock this morning till my arm is
stifr and numb. Now, this signature IL
one that will be closely examined, and
II they find my hand trembled they
will say. He had some computations"
But anyway 1t Is going to Re done
80 saying he slowly and carefully
wrote his name ut the bottom Of the
proclamation. The signature proved
to be unusually clear, bold and firm
even for him, and a laugh followed at
his apprehension. My father after ap-
pending his own name and causing the
great seal to be affixed had the impor-
tant document placed among the ar
chives. Copies were at once given to
the press"

Hospitality.

Don't let imprOmptu hospitality die
out in your home, housewife. Encour-
age your husband to bring his friends
home for dinner and your daughter to
bring her friends to lunch. Keep n
stock Of canned goods always ready on
your shelves and supply of clean
table linen in your linen closet, and
then you will not feel any qualms about
asking your own callers who stay on
into lunch hours to partake of your
lunch with you.

The Gettysburg Speech.

Mr.. Lincoln was not the "orator Of
the day" upon the occasion OF the
dedication Of the soldiers cemetery at
Gettysburg. That honor belonged to
Edward Everett. who fulfilled his du-
ties there by delivering one of his
elaborate oratlons that kept him on
bis feet for more than two hours. 1t
Is said to have been splendid ora
ton, and yet 1t is clean forgotten,
while iincoln's little speech, prepared
on his knee as he was travelling in the
cars to Gettysburg, is known all over
