brilliant one. Two outstanding fea-
lures characterize it. President VII

ance of fun; and dr. Horner has pro-
cured artists that are meeting the
presidents desire The needs OF the

bered in many of the numbers. the
patriotic feature being very notice
able. Besides being in the employ
of the chautauqua management. sew
eral who appear on the program are
representatives of our own and other
governments.
The Chantauqua. as an established
institution. is recognized by our FJv-
ernment as one of the best; publicity
mediums obtainable From the open
ing number. THE Ladies' Regimental
Orchestra. to the closing. "The Gil
max" the comedy drama by the Gil

the program will be a thoroughly in
forming and inspiring one. Captain
Tougher is direct from France; CT
mera and his band are making good

the price of the season ticket; John
B, Ratio is Americas great imper-

Our people were made sad this week
because death summoned one Of our
young men from our midst. All our
hearts go out in sympathy to the moth

This reminds us that;
Our hearts though strong and brave,
Still like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave"
Therefore. "let us work while il is day,
for night cometh when no man can
work. Let US be up and about our
fathers business. For there are those
bent down with sorrow and care, those
IN destitute circumstances. those dis
couraged and respondent, who need
and yearn for the blessed ministry of
christian love-" The Christian relig-
ion is always defined in terms of SER
vice. James definition being an ex-
ample; Pure religion and undefiled be-
fore our God and Father is this, to
visit the fatherless and widows in their
affection, and to keep himself unspotted

TRANSPORTATION FOR
ALL FARM PRODUCTS
No List OF "Nonessenlials" To Be
Promulgated.

Representatives of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, after con-
ference at the office of the Director
General Of Railroads, were informed
that the Director General has not pro-
mulgated list of nonessential farm
products which will be denied trans
portation facilities, and does not con-
template issuing any such order. Re-
quest was made that the Department
of Agriculture disse inmate this infor-
nation as widely as possible to the
farmers of the country.
The Director General believes that
under the plan now being formulated
it will be possible to provide adequate
transportation for farm products this
year. Farmers should place orders for
cars. when needed, with local freight
agent, as has always been the practise.

Rates For Political Announcements

As evidence of the radical change il
sentiment in this country within the
past few years, we would cite our read
ers to the evolution of the income tax
But a few years ago the man woulc
have proposed an income tax in Con-
gress would have effectrally signed hi:
own political death warrant. We hac
come to believe from more than CEN
tury's experience that indirect taxation
was the only kind of taxation for which
the American people would stand.
Even in our state and municipal govern
ments personal earnings play no part in
the scheme of taxation and even per
sonal property is largely exempt.
But as the expenses of government
bounced to unheard.of figures, it be-
came evident that direct taxation
would have to be resorted to, and the
incomes of the land were selected as
the best able to bear it. This tax was
at first very light and only placed on
very large incomes.
Gradually the limit has been lowered,
until now all yearly incomes Of $1,000
for single men and $1,000 for men Of
family, must come to the help of their
government.
But why the limit? Why should the
man who makes 1899. year be exempt
from the tax simply because he failed
to annex that odd dollar? He may be
far better able to spare the money
than the man who earns $1,000 or even
$500 a year.
Gettin right down to the gist of the
matter, isn't any limit arbitrary and
unjust? That depends entirely upon
the light in which we view the matter
of taxation. If we regard it as bur-
den, then perhaps We should set a limit
under which no man should be asked to
share in it. But is taxation entirely a
burden? Isn't it rather one of our
greatest privileges that we be permit
ted to snare in the maintenance of the
government that protects us and makes
US what we are?
If we would go deep enough into this
question of taxation We might discover
that the aloofness with which many
Americans view their government aris-
es largely from the fact that they have
never been made to feel that they sus-
tanned any real vital relation to that
government; that it is an institution
for which they are in no way response
BILE and to which they owe none but a
negative allegiance.
Americans might well begin think
ing of a universal tax. 1t may come
and sooner than many of US suspect.
