Sujin was assassinated by an emissary of the prime minister; the young An toku was thrown into the sea to die like a rat;. and it is piquant rumor, whis- pered in intimate circles, that Komei, father of the late Emperor Mutsuhito, died not of smallpox, as is the official report. Junnn Tenno was strangled on the island of Awaji; and one imperial parsonage, Daigo II, managed to escape from the distant island to which he was relegated hidden under a load of dried fish. The number of crown princes slaughtered is too numerous to record. In the fourteenth century two rival houses deished each other for period of fifty-eight years; and the present Elm peror is descended from the branch branded byl later historians as ilegiti- mate. Ko Moranao, worthy of the fourteenth century, is credited with hav- ing todl his followers to take the es- tate of the Emperor if they wanted es- tates. A living Emperor is mere waster of the worlds substance, and a burden upon the people. He is not nec- essary, but if we must have him, a wooden efigy would answer the pur- pose" For centuries the government was
 in the hands of the mayors of the pal ace, who set up one infant sovereign after the other, deposing each as he came to man estate. From 12eS to 1304 there were actually no less than five ex- enperors living at one time.

What Spencer Accomplished

From Herbert Spencer, lS2O-l920, Dy
 George Sarton, in Scribners
 Think of it! Here we have man, whose systematic knowledge is rather small, whom many scientists (not the greatest, however, would have regarded as ignorant-and such he was in many respects--a man handicapped by lack Of means and of health, but one who has been thinking hard and fast for q num- Der of years, who has measured the world around and himself, who knows exactly what he must do who calmly estimates the immensity of the undertaking ana the frailty of the means, who knows that his decision practically involves the surrender of his liberty for the rest of his days and makes of him a slave to his ideal-yet his faith is so great that he does not hesitate No handicap win stop him and he sends his programme to the world: a programme to the fulfull- ment of which the rest of his life was faithfully and unrestrictedly given. One should keep in mind that at that time Spencer was nervous invalid; he could only work few hours day ana had 10 use all sorts of tricks to do so without suffering: in the afternoon he had to forsake, not simply work. but any ex- citement or he would lose his nlSht rest Yet he went ahead and hencefortn his life was one of single-hearted devo- tion to his self-imposed trust, The first volume of the Synthetic Philosophy ap- peared in 1862, and the tenth and last in 1So6 It took him thirty-seven years to go over the top.
 If is not part of my present purpose to analvze. even briefly, Spencer's works. will simply limit myself to a few re- marks which may refresh the readers memory and help him to appreciate Snencer's undertaking. Let us remember that his fundamental ideas are the foi- lowing. First an earnest belief in the value of philosophy as completely un.- fled knowledge Of course. without sncn helief he could not have carried on his tfe's work Secondly. the modern con cept of evolution both in it's nlolosleai and it's universal import.

Note Soil Condition
A. B. CHALLINOR

In selecting farm often too little at- soil and the lay of the fields with refer ence to ease of cultivation. Crop land in itself is of little value unless it is so sit uated that it can be made to yield profit able returns through" the use of labor and machinery A farm of 160 acres valued at $10O per acre may be a much better bargain if practically all of the land can be put to some profitable use than another farm of 160 acres purchas- able at $50 per acre of which large areas are practically without utility owing to streams, swamps which can not be drained, or rough, stony areas not suit able even for pasture.
 It is essential, therefore that not the total area as conveyed by the deed or contract be considered but the area avail able for profitable use Any additional land may be really a liability instead of an asset, since very often the returns are not even sufficient to pay the taxes. great many mistakes are made on this point alone, the buyer frequently thinking that he can crop the land in one way or another, but later finding that conditions are such that it is more profitable to permit it to grow up to brush or woods than to attempt to cui- tivate it.
 Farmers Bulletin 10SS, Selecting a Farm" gives many valuable suggestions to the prospective buyer The bulletin may be had free, upon request, of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washingtori D. c.

Our Tax Problems

Dariel C. Roper in the Nations Busi-
 ness.
 great deal of the best brains ano ability in the United States Is devoted to the work of attempting to solve the insolubIe problem of how to make nrofits that are not taxable, not to mention the less laudable and more rarely encountered attempts to con- ceal taxable income. Men are heard to boast of losses sustained that may he deducted but lament gains that are unavoidable and on which tax mast be paid. ,
 Useful enterprises are not organized and production discouraged by tnls cordition: mining of minerals, ore anu coal is deferred or curtatled and timper readv to be cut is left standing, pe- cause interest charges on such opera t,ons appear to be more than o1fset hv the greater net profit to De maoe eventually under the lesser tax tnat ,s anticipated in the future. It would he long list indeed that would oe- scribe the uneconomic. unhealthy ana renressive. and often unsavory busf- moss nractices that are engendered by this condition.
 The development of a permanent tax nlan that will produce the revenue re- ouired by the government, and will distribute the tax burden fairly and enuitablv. should be the aim Of every one. A satisfactory system can be de- vised and enacted into law, only through the cooperative efforts of tax payers representing all branches of trade and industry.

ALABAMA JUDGE
 HAS KNOTTY CASE
By Associated Pres.

San Juan, F. l.. July 16.-Extradition pr oceedings brought by the Cuban con- sul against Rafael MartoreH, a Cuban business man here. reveal what is all legged to be a remarkable case of intrigue and impersonation to obtain $25O.O estate.
 The estate belonged to a Porto Rican, Manuel Fernando Fernandez Vega, and the story of the alleged plot goes back to the days of the Cuban revolution. when Vega and Martorell were said to have been comrades in armss in Cuba. Vega was killed in battle but it is al- leged word of his death never reached his father in Porto Rico and valuable property was bequeathed to him.
 The present proceedings are based upon an allegation that Martorell persuaded Juana Maria Valdes Suarez and Manuel Antonio Fernando Fernandez Vega false. ly to represent themselves as the widow and son of the deceased Vega. It is fur ther alleged that in 1917, in connection

Where the Remedy Lies /.

 Business.
 While the incoming tide of prices and demand seems at the flood. it Is in creas,ngly evident that the very acute ness of the situation is already begin ning to create it's own remedy. For there is fast spreading resentment
 among the mass of consumers at the
 steady piling on of the burden of high
 prices, with no immediate sign of re
 lief but only a babel of tongues, while innumerable organizations form to fight the high cost of living and get nowhere. There Is likewise dim but growing consciousness among these same con- sumers, that to some extent the remedy lies In their own hands by saner spend- ing. and by abstinence from those things where rrofiteering is too oSvi- ous to be concealed.
 What we do not perceive. yet which is readily apparent. Is that the times are out of joint. because of the spirit bred by the war. and that its effects are to-
 day turning the world topsy turvy.

iJew Up-to-date Structures Replace Those RaZcd by Germans
 in 1914.

Louvain, Belgium.-From the ruins of Louvain, to which the Germans ap- piled the torch on August 25. 1914, are springing dozens of modern build ingS.
 They lack the historic interest of the destroyed structures, but no city in Belgium will be able to boast of a more up-to-date appearance than Lou vain when the work of reconstruction is finished.
 The city presents to the stranger an unusual appearance-masses of ruins here, new fve-story buildings there, with the old, undestroyed buildings in sharp contrast.
 No efforts have yet been made to rebuild the famous library. The Bel gian government, however, is grad ually finding in Germany traces of many of the priceless manuscripts and other books footed from the li- brary by the Germans.
