would cost much labor to collect
data as to how such matters are
handled in other states most sue
cessfully.
/ understand that the primary
law as introduced in Illinois did
not work very satisfactorily for
some time; and that a poorly draft
ed law for this state might be
dangerous.
The tax laws need to be redrawn,
and yet that is a very critical mat
ter. While the mines should pay
their just share of taxes, no one
wishes to see them taxed so as to
discourage the investment of mon
ey in our state The abuses under
the mine tax law may not be
the greatest. Many people are pay
ing much less than they should
while others are paying more tax
than is just, but large number
pay nothing, considerable number
owning a fair amount of property
escape under the operation of the
absurd 5000 exemption law, and a
still larger number escape just taxa
assessment system. How are these
matters regulated in our neighbour
ing states, and how in the most
progressive states and how are we
to apply these ideas to our state?
We need a budget system for
state and county expenditures, but
we would like to know how this is
worked out in other states, and how
these plans can best be adapted TO
our conditions.
The state land office should not
be tempered with without the most
careful study. There doubtless are
changes necessary, but these
changes should be made along a
a carefully thought out plan.
1t probably is too much to eX-
pect to hope that the framing of
these measures will be free from
the influence of individuals or COR
porations who are working for spe-
eial or private interests. The thing
we need is, that the public shall
maintain its lobby in the sole inter-
est of the state and the common
people Very few of us are well in
formed upon these matters and we
need the help of paper of large
circulation and forceful manage
ment that can present facts and
arguments in such a wise manner
as to secure the passage of the re-
quired laws in an effective form.
Yours very truly. w. H.H.

THERE COMES A TIME WHEN WORDS
..... WON'T DO. Nj

There comes time when words won't do,
However fine the thoughts you say
They will not drive the care away
Or make the gray clouds into blue;
Then suffering and anguish needs
Not kindly thoughts, but kindly deeds
There's no philosophy can soothe
The aching heart baset by grief,
Death hurts in spite of our belief;
Speech cannot troubled water smooth,
In such an hour all mortals need
The comfort of a helpful deed.
word of courage nosy and then
win spur the faltering spirit on,
Rekinde hope when hope seems gone;
But there are times of trial when
BY real service we Unjust share
The cares that othera have to bear.
True friendship then must step ASIDE
To prove in some substantial way
The tender thoughts it's lips would say
Must share the burden and be tried
Until its friends shall smile again,
Or otherwise all speech is vain.
However fair the speech may be,
1t cannot tighten real distress
Nor change mans woe to happiness
Nor serve friends Necessity;
Then true devotion swiftly speeds
To prove itself by helpful deed.

"BLIND YOUTH AT THE
OPERA HOUSE WEDNESDAY

"Bind YOUTH" by Lou Tellegen
and Willard Mack adapted for the
screen by Katherine Reed, will be at
the opera house Wednesday.
Adapted from the famous stage
success of the same name, Blind
Youth is an international story,
with a setting in the fashionable
circles of New York and the studios
of the Latin Quarter of Paris, it por-
trays many picturesque scenes in the
latter place.
The struggles that beset the path
of young artist form the theme for
the story. His marriage to a model in
his wild student days, the subsequent
strayings of blind youth and ulti-
mate reduction to park bench in
New York, then true love and the
awakening-so the photo-play goes.
Romance, comedy and drama have
been mingled in the characteristic
Willard Mack manner to make play
that is engrossing and picturesque.

Newspaper Reporter Solves Mystery,

"The Mystery Of the Yellow
Room," a screen adoption of CASTOR
Leroux's novel of that name and a
Realart picture, tonight, Monday,
will no doubt be extremely popular
with all who like mystery melodrama.
AS it's name implies it is mystery,
the plot being woven intricately
around the strange attacks on girl
in the yellow Room" of French
chateau from which there is, appar-
emily, no other means of escape than
door which is always locked from
the inside at the time of the attacks.
The picture holds the interest of the
spectator and defies efforts to antici-
phate the solution until the very end.
The photography is we'll done by
Emile Chautard, under whose direc-
ton the picture was produced. The
acting is excellent especially that of
LorinRaker, who is cast as the "pep-
py" little newspaper man who solves
the mystery.

PLANS FOR MEMORIAL DAY
Governor Cooper Issued Proclamation
to People.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, May On a proclama-
ton yesterday by Governor Cooper,
at request of the South Carolina De-
partment of the American Legion, has
designated Monday, May 10, as joint
Memorial Day for those who fell in
the War Between the States and the
world war. The proclamation reads:
"For generation we have adhered
to the fitting and beautiful custom of
observing the 10th day of May each
year as time for recalling to our
minds the great deeds done and the
great sacrifices made by soldiers OF
the Confederate States army. BY
means of these memorial exercises
we have not only shown the living
veterans our appreciation for their
dead comrades, but have also received
an inspirational value to ourselves,
being stimulated to higher things by
recalling the noble acts of our for
bears.
'sNow it has chanced that in the
march of human progress another
war has been necessary and IN this
latest war the sons and grandsons OF
the Confederate army veterans went
forth, even as their fathers, and
crandfathers did, offering all, and
many of them giving all, for a cause
thew believed to be righteous. Amerl-
can Legion, of South Carolina,
speaking for the soldiers of the world
war, have expressed to me their de-
sire to participate in the forthcoming
Memorial Day celebration, to join in
paving homage to the fathers and
grandfathers of the soldiers who
fought in the recent war and, at the
same time, keep alive the memory
of their own comrades who died IN
the cause of liberty.
'It seems to me, therefore, that
the approaching 10th day of May
might we'll be observed as time Tor
memorializing the accomplishments
both of the South Carolina Confeder-
ate States soldiers and Of the South
Carolina world war soldiers, the vet
erans of each war uniting in the sol
emn ceremonial of paying tribute to
| the men who died for sacred causes,
"Therefore, l, R. A. Cooper, Gov
ernor of South Carolina, do proclaim
the 10th day of May, 1920, as a
Joint Memorial Day to all the sons OF
South Carolina who have died either

recent world war, fighting for causes

{ SHE THINKS GOD HAS
FORGOT SHE is HERE
The Oldest Woman in Illinois Has
Lived More than a Century.

Springfield, H., April 27.-The
c oldest woman in Illinois,. who says
"God has forgotten I'm here, has
. celebrated ner birthday.
She IS Mrs Mary Antoinette Smith,
. No 2s4 North 14th street. On April
IS she Will be 10S years old. Con-
dred TO her bed for years because OF
.snarnaities of age, she hopes that this
win be her last birthday. She re-
CARDS death as thing to be desired.
And she prays that her remaining
days On earth are few.
Mrs. Smith was born on the Island
cof Madeira in 1912. In 1847 her
people the Alves family, Portuguese,
,were obliged to leave Madeira and go
5nto exile during the persecution of
Gt.e Portuguese, who had taken up
sthe Presbyterian beliefs.
Her mother, Mrs. Maria Joaquina
-AMes, before their exile, was thrown
IN 5ail because of her religious be-
Iiefs, charged with "apostasy, heresy
and blasphemy," found guilty on the
latter charge and condemned to die.
English residents of the island ap-
eealed to Queen Victoria of England,
E2ho in turn took the matter up with
,qaesn Donna Maria of Portugal and
the sentence was cofimuted to a fine.
For failure to pay the fine Mrs.
tAaves was kept in prison for twenty
saree months When she was releas-
ed the family fed to the Island of
: 1rimdad, remaining there for two
years and then removing to New
York with band of. other exiles un-
der the protection of missionaries.
Four months later the family left
Nav York, coming to Illinois, where
they made their home in Jacksonville.
Mrs. Smith is the oldest member of

Mrs. Smith is the only one of the
.tanizy who is not active today. She
aas been confined to her bed for more
shan m Two years, but aside from the
natural infrmities of her advanced
age is in good health. She is in pos
session of her faculties but is now
only a little wisp of woman.
She lives with her daughter, Mrs.
Catherine Franks, who, though sixty
four years of age is the Youngest Of ;,

Eddie Collins Taught
Sox Baseball Rules

II members OF the Chicago White
Sox fail to grasp the gist OF the rule
changes which will be in vogue in
the American League this season, II
will not be the fault Of Owner CO.
miskey or Manager Gleason. When
II was decided to drill the squad on
rule changes, Gleason turned the text
books over to Eddie Collins, and the
famous second sacker has held q SER
les of lectures In which no talked
about and illustrated the various new
wrinkles.
Such a thorough manner Of hand
ling the rule situation could be ex-
pccted from Collins. A 3rainy player
himself. Collins always insisted upon
all his mates knowing every dodge in
the code. Eddie started off by TAX
ing small groups Of the players. One
play was discussed ct session, and
after the gist Of the subject was
thoroughly digested. the star would
call on various players 70 illustrate
the application Of the rule.
With the rules fairly well learned
as they were written. Collins sur
prised the bunch by calling on var
ious players for explanation Of their
methods in getting around certain
situations. Collins believes every ball
player should know the rules back
wards. and he also believes every
player should know what to do In
case he is caught in a certain rule.
The recruits were given special drills
and lectures. and these will be1 con-
tinued for two weeks after the sea-
son opens, according to Manager
Gleason.
There's way to get around most
every rule that has been written"
said Collins. land the only way to
known your limitations is to know
the rules Just as you know the al
phabet. II young players entering
the majors would master the rules
they would tighten their burden in
trying to make good in fast company.
Managers can tell In an instant Just |
how much n yougster knows about !
the code. and 7 might saw that any
big league pilot Is Inclined to favor
the youngster who knows the rules |
but lacks shining ability over the
lad with brilliant stuff but lacking in

Owner Comiskey says the task Of ,
rule changes was turned
over to Collins because the second
baseman has a better general knowl-
edge Of baseball rules than any 9TH
err player In the American League.
