GETTING A START


Two men died within few days OF
one another, each in his way we'll
known New Yorker. One was Frank
H. Woolworth. The other was George
w. Quintard. Mr.. Woolworth had
lived to pass three score. Mr.. GUM
tard lacked eight years of having
reached two score when he fell down a
flight of steps at a roof garden at
2 o'clock in the morning, in relaxed
condition of mind and body, and broke
his skull.
Frank Woolworth was born on a
farm and at 20 was blowing corn. He
had accumulated $50 and was a pro-
missing clerk in dry goods store in a
small town when he went into BUSH
ness for himself. When he died, and
for some time before his death, he
was the head of chain of 1000 stores
in America and other countries. He
had built what has been called the
Cathedral skyscraper because it in

PLIGHT OF A PEER

A dispatch from London tells the
sad story of a gentleman and his IN
come tax gentleman whose ident;-
! ty, though yelled. can be inferred by
most New Workers from the state
ment that he is a very wealthy man
who used to be an American citizen
and is now an English lord. The sor-
rows of a rich man proverbially get
little sympathy, but this gentleman's
case offers such painful example of
the high cost of living on one side
of the ocean when your property is on
the other that he seems to deserve
some commiseration.
AS he is British subject, the Brit
ish government imposes it's own by
no means light tax on all his income,
from whatever source. But most Of
property is in the United States,
- under our laws all income from
as property is likewise taxable here.
Since the victim is wealthy enough TO
incur the highest surtax rates in both
countries, the combined British and
American income taxes amount to
somewhat more than his entire in
come. That is, he has to dispose of
some of his capital to pay his income
tax, at a time when money is not as
plentiful as it might be and losses
are likely to be incurred in the sale:
| then he must repeat the process in or
der to meet his living expenses. To
4 be sure, he has some hope; in the
course of several years he will have
/ disposed of enough capital to bring
himself under the operation of low
i ea surtax rate, so that ultimately will
I be- able to paw his income tax out of
his income But there is little incen-
/ tive to enterprise in the prospect of
| being able, by five or ten years work,
to rise to utter restitution.
THE gentleman cannot return to his
ssa allegiance; that might embarrass
-4sse who incurred so much publicity
IN casting it off; besides, it takes
time, and if he returned to New York

paintings, appreciation of the pain
ter's art and capacity for critical judg
ment equal perhaps to that of sundry
persons who get a living writing critl-
cism. He was in various ways good
citizen and a respected one. His en-
joyment of the social side of life was
equal at least to that of the average
sane, clean-living man, and he knew
the thrill of great achievement in his
chosen calling. In this especial field
he was not surpassed by those who,
taking hint from his success, inflated
his methods.
George w. Quintard inherited ST.
100000. He married the daughter of
boarding housekeeper soon after he
received his inheritance. 1t seemed
good start in life, but the couple did
not get along happily and a divorce
was obtained. Mr.. Quintard married
again, and afterward was sued for
breach of promises by two young wo.
men, and sued by jeWeler upon bill
for $67, 900 worth of gems and trim
vets which he was alleged to have
bought for young women, but which,
he said, he could not recall having
bought for the reason that he was
drunk during the whole of the period
covered by the alleged purchase. He
obtained a divorce from his second
wife in December, 1917, and enlisted
in the American army. He saw six
months service in France. Upon his
return he informed his friends that as
compensation for hard work and self
denial in the army, and in view of the
approach of prohibition, he proposed
to have tone long party while parties
remain possible" The party reached
it's end when Mr. Quintard fell down
sixty feet of stairway and landed upon
his head. He had not lived utterly IN
vain. He had established upon Broad
way a reputation for reckless expen.

Brazil Is First of Latin
America to Take Stand
Against Germany
WILL PROTECT LABOR
Decentralization of the Labor
Conditions Basic Foundations
of World Peace

WASHINGTON, May 13-The
Mexican situation appears to be clarl-
flying rapidly and concerted action by
the allies is seen in developments, in
effect bringing Mexico closer to the
allies, and her entry into the league
is expected to follow quick house
cleaning.
Brazil led the way, when her Pres
ident-elect, DR.. Epitacio Pessoa, now
at the peace congress, in speech in
Brussels told the Belgians their port
of Antwerp would hereafter be Bra
zils market, and declared Brazil is
all through with Germany. The ad-
dress is taken here as indicating to
Latin America the stand of Brazil,
territorially more than half Of South
America, and standing alone of all
countries below the United States in
outspoken aid to the allied cause,
having early declared war on Ger
many.
simultaneously came word that the
French government has consented to
receive the Mexican minister, after a
months delay, and this is taken to
mean that Mexico will be received
generally by the allies, and that the
Mexican government has switched
policies wholly and will work in &C
cord with the allies.
Then came Samuel Gomper's pub
lished telegram to the Mexican gov
eminent, protesting, as head of the
pan American Labor Federation,
against the proposed Carranza law
creating dictatorship of capital by
forbidding the spirit of unionism. In
asmuch as Mr.. Gompers is part of
the peace congress, the publicity is
considered to have been for the pur-
pose of saving Carranza's face when
he turns down the proposed law.
1t is known that the international
standardizing of labor conditions is
one of the basic foundations of the
peace; hence it is believed here that
Carranza will join the other nations
in recognizing the rights of labor to
organize and bargain collectively.
The Chinese and Koreans appear
resigned to what appears to be fate,
and refuse to be heartened by allied
assurances that they will be helped
to work their way to substantial ma
tionality. The Chinese blame Bal
four of the support of Japan and in
cline to absolve Wilson; the Koreans
declare the closing of the Big -Four
door on their demands and claims it is
a blot on civilization.
Washington inclines to general OPP
timism today. believing great work is
being done behind the screen at
Paris.

Employment for Soldiers.

Boise, Idaho, Governor Davis IL
his message recommended that return
ing soldiers be given employment, moi
only their old places back but that
they be considered whenever jobs were
open. So far, however, such little
consideration has been given return,
ing soldiers in official circles as to
cause considerable comment here.
Several legislative positions, and de-
partmental as well, have been filled
with married women whose husbands
are making good salaries, one of them
holding a responsible position in a
Boise bank.
Quite a few capable young soldiers
have been turned down. There is a
move on foot to bring about change.
1t is pointed out that the example set
to private employers is not wholesome,
