$4,000 man will get. For the $40. 900

the $4,000 year man, the cut is
from $l,sf4 to $l,95S, less than l per
cent.
And the $4,000 a year man will
have to pay the same taxes next year
as he paid this year, except that he
gets the same SIG reduction as does
the $4,000 year man. In other
words, the taxes paid by the 5000
year man are reduced next year

600 to $4,000 year receive tax
cut of less than half that amount.

II the case of the taxpayer whose
income exceeds $4,000 this year, the
SIG cut is due entirely to the in

man pays identically the same in

Premier Brands speech sounded
maenificent-even to those accus-
timed to the best opera baritones--
and this baritone is not only an ora
torical master, but he is friend of
peace.
BRAND is much changed since he
defended friend in court for say
ing the tri-color should be thrown
upon the ash pile. But at the same
time it is ridiculous to doubt his de-
sire for peace and equally ridiculous
to proclaim this adroit statesman as
a servant OF milltarism.
Said Nothing New
1t is equally foolish to doubt what
he said about the danger threaten
ing Germany. Ludendorffs follow
ers are very numerous, and the pub
lie mind has not yet been demilitar-
lied. But what BRAND said we have
heard before. Official Germany. be-
fore the war, made speeches, saying
that we would wear heavy armor
only If compelled to do so by the
threats of our bad neighbors.
From these same quarters come the
extraordinary heresy of the immi-
hence of an Anglo American war.
What could be sillier? The day such
war was declared Great Britain

COlfax Riot Mon
ulnent Unveiled
Fitting Ceremonies Concentrating
Historical Event Carried Out
Between April Showers

After half a century there was
unveiled in the Colfax cemetery
on last Wednesday, a monument
recently erected to the memory
of the three men who on Easter
Sunday, April 10, 1873, shed their
life's blood in a battle in Colfax
in order that white supremacy
might reign supreme. The de-
tails of this memorable occasion
are yet fresh in the memory of
the older citizens of Grant parish
and Louisiana, land having been
very recently recited in these
columns, it is only necessary
here to say that the unfortunate
event of half a century back has
been the means of a more COM
plete and better understanding
between the rases.

unwilling, but in spite Of a down

men and children stood at close

The cleanup campaign inau-
gurated last week has resulted in
Colfax presenting the cleanest
appearance to visitors and resi-
dents alike that the town has
shown for a long time. More
trash and garbage was disposed
of than in any previous cleanup
campaign, and continents have
been heard freely of the success
of the campaign. Possibly the
notice from the board of health
that a committee Of ladies would
assist in making an inspection
gave considerable impetus to the
work. If that be true, we move
that the board of health make
the committee of women inspect
ors permanent.

Miss Susanna Duncalf, daughter of
Thomas and Ann Duncalf, was born
in South Lancaster, July 8, 1868, and
died at her home in Lancaster, Wis,
January 8. 1921, at the age of SO years,

She had always lived at home and
during the illness of her mother she
assumed charge of the cares of the
household and after the death of her
mother she was the tie that kept the
family together until the death of the
father, March Is, 1909.
The following year they sold the
farm and moved to this city and for
the last ten years she and her brother
Alfred made their home together here.
Susan had a gnerous and genial
disposition and was always looking
after the welfare of her brother, Al
fred; for which that brother has fully
redeemed promise made to his father
that he would always look after her
welfare. During the last few months
she often spoke appreciatively of his
care and his name was the last living
name she spoke. AS she drew near
the bOrder-land she called Mary"
the name of her eldest sister who had
preceded her to the better land. Then
she said, Heaven" l am going to

Isaac Garthwaite

Isaac Garthwaite was corn in Pitts
burg, Pa, June 20, 1846. and died in
Little Grant, Jan. 2, 1921. He came
with his parents to Wisconsin in the
pioneer days his father being one of
the Oldest settlers in Grant county.
Mr.. Garthwaite always engaged in
farming, an industrious but indepen-
dent life. When the civil war broke
out he enlisted serving eleven months.
He had the measles very bad at that
time, nearly never returning. He had
been bothered with cancer for s years
having one removed from his eye at
that time in Indianapolis that checked
it until last spring when he went to
Rochester, Mimi, having his right eye
removed. The eye seemed to heal
but old age and other complications
set in resulting in death. Mr.. Garth
waite was patient in his trouble al
ways trying to look on the bright side.
His wife died 26 years ago leaving
him with an infant baby three weeks
old and five other children. They all
