service than that attained by any 9th.
er person in this country. Gladstone
served in the British parliament fifty
three years and Uncle Joe says he is
going to beat that record, if he can
Mr.. Cannon was first elected in 1872
but has missed two years in congress
since that time, although he didn't ask
for rest, but through some short
sightedness of his constituents they
failed to elect him when he was per-
fectly willing to serve. Old Uncle Joe
is picturesque character and
throughout his more or less stormy
career has retained the respect and
confidence of his constituency and his
millions of friends and admirers
throughout the country will hope that
he may realize his ambition to beat
the record for long service Of the Grand
Old Man of England. Old Joe says he
is going to live to be 100 years old or
die in the effort.

SHOWING US UP RIGHT. $

Waterloo Courier: Often it is help
full to see ourselves as others observe
us. This truth is emphasized by an
article in the Mexican Review by
Joel Quinones, in which, while not at
tempting to justify or palliate the
atrocities of Mexican bandits, the writ
er brings forward some rather cOnvinc-
ing proof that during the Civil war
men Of the same nation, race and
language did even worse things to each
other.
Sig. Quinones introduces our good
old American poet, Walt Whitman,
who was on earth during the four
years of unpleasantness, 1868. and
knew whereof he spoke. Whitman GER
tainly digs up some narrowing evil
dence showing. that the white man,
when you get fraction of a millimeter
under his cuticle, is as much a barbar-
ian as any greaser who ever wore a
sombrerO or swung machete. Here
is an excerpt from Whitman's writings
on incidents OF the war:
'.In one of the late movements of
our troops in the valley (near Upper
vile, think, strong force OF Mos
Ey's mounted guerilla attacked a train
Of wounded, and the guard of cavalry
conveying them. The ambulances con-
tanned about sixty wounded, quite a
number Of them officers of rank. The
rebels were in strength, and the
capture of the train and its partial
guard after a short fight was effect
ually accomplished. No sooner had
our men surrendered than the rebels in
stantly commenced robbing the train
and numbering their prisoners, even
the wounded. Here is the scene, or a
sample of it, ten minutes after.
Among the wounded officers in the am
bulance were one, lieutenant Of regu-
lars, and another of higher rank. These
two We're dragged out on the ground
on their backs, and were now surround
Ell by the guerillas, a demOniac crowd,
each member of which was stabbing
them in different parts Of their bodies.
One of the officers had his feet pinned
firmly to the ground by bayonets
stuck through them and thrust into the
ground. These two officers, as after
wards found in examination, had re-
ceived about twenty such thrusts, some
Of them through the mouth, face, etc.
The wounded had all been dragged (tO
give better chance also for plunder)
out of their wagons: some had been
effectually dispatched, and their bodies

We can't think of any easier or
simpler way to help raise the billions
which the government must have to
pay expenses than the proposed sales
tax of one per ent.--Tipton Advertis
er.
There is merit as well as objection
to the sales tax, but on the whole per
haps it is as good as any plan that
can be adopted. 1t would at least be
much easier for the average business
man to figure out his tax. II his gross
sales amounted to $4,000 per year his
tax would be $500. Many taxpayers
would be willing to pay more taxes
If they could escape the narrowing
process of making out an income tax
report based upon present methods
Moreover, the average taxpayer is in
mortal fear lest he has made mistakes
in his report and will be called upon
the carpet for an explanation that he
cannot make to his own satisfaction
let alone to the satisfaction of his
questioner.
