THE NEW York HERALD came into
being eightysix years ago to-day.
Its founder was JAMES GORDON BEN
NETT, whom JAMES PARTON, his biog-
Iapher, described as "a man Of
French intellect and Scotch habits"
In THE NEW York HERALD Mr.. BEN
NETT gave the world its first great
newspaper in the news sense. The
very soul of Mr. BENEFITS concep-
ton for his newspaper was news and
1t was as news gatherer that his
great genius as journalist lowered
over all others of his time.
While reaching out one hand 70 the
farthermost parts of the earth for
news, the other was equally busy in
building the business side of his en-
terprise. Realizing that great
newspaper must have "A great income,
he saw to 1t that the business depart
ment kept pace with all others and
so 1t came about that THE New YORK
HERALD developed into the first news
paper of the world as an advertising
medium, and as such was the proto-
type of all modern newspapers.
Both in conception and in develop
ment THE NEW YORK HERALD was a
big timbered newspaper. The more
money 1t earned the more money Mr..
BENNETT spent on 1t. He cared moth
ing for money except to build bigger
and always bigger the creation of
his brain. Thus Ii was that The
NEW York HERALD speedily became
the greatest newspaper of the world
as a gatherer and purveyor Of news
and as a dissemination Of advertising
news.
Considered as an all round news
paper genius, living at time when
journalistic advancement meant pio'
neering, when there were no great
newspapers in the news sense, no
great newspapers in the business
sense, as a stimulus and guide Mr..
BENNETT achieved bigger than any
man of his day, bigger than any man
since his day.
The present owner Of The New
YORK HERALD pays this tribute with
great pleasure TO the founder of this
newspaper on It's eighty sixth ami
versary.
In its eighty-six years THE New
YORK HERALD has had but three own
ers and in each period of ownership
II has been wholly owned by one man
owned and controlled and directed
by one man.
The span Of ownership OF JAMES
GoRDoN BENNETT, the founder, COW
cred thirty-seyen years. from 1885 to
1872; the span of ownership Of JAMES
GORDON BENNETT, Jr., covered forty
eight years, from 1872 to 1920, when
THE New YORK HERALD became the
property of FRANK A. MUEsEY.
1t is probable that there Is no other
big newspaper in the world that car
parallel this record. The ownership
of big newspapers, the very big ones
IS generally scattered.

Once more we clasped the hand Of mem

The shadows fickered by on golden
wings,
We looked and saw sweet, old remem-

You saw a boy who climbed with sturdy
strength
TO measure the trees height with his

But II saw our counting once again.
You carved this heart upon the maple

You saw yourself before love came to

Doing the things carefree child will do |:
saw the heart, the lacy leaves above
My thoughts went back no further than
our love.

Carrier Pigeons in Warfare.

The use Of carrier pigeons is very
ancient in the Orient and was brought
to the attention of Europe at the time
OF the First crusade, when the Sara
Gems were found to have the birds In
regular use for the conveyance Of in
formation. The Christian commanders
employed falcons TO chase and inter-
cept this pigeon post on several Occa-
sions, and on others caught the tired
birds, substituted misleading messages
for those they were carrying, and sent
them on TO deceive the enemy. The
Mohammedan sovereign Nureddin used
carrier pigeons for welding together
the scattered parts Of his empire. Al
though the use continued, it was not
until the Franco-Prussian war Of 1870
that pigeons were again of conspicu-
Gus public service. During the siege
Of Paris constant communication was
maintained between the besieged city
and the outside world by means Of
the carrier birds. Subsequently the
German, French and other European
governments established regular pigeon
corps and thousands Of birds were
trained and kept for use as messen-
gers.

ORIGINAL HORSE HAD CLAWS
Skeletons of Prehistoric Animals Show
That Nature Gave Them Some
what Strange Equipment

Seventeen skeletons of the so-called
sClawed Horse" of prehistoric times
from the Agate Spring fossil quarry of
western Nebraska have been placed
in storage, for lack of exhibiting space
at the American museum of natural
history, New York.
The varied skeletonic combinations
of Moropus and deductions therefrom
are described by Professors Osborn
and Matthew, as follows:
'-The Moropus was a distant rela-
tive of the rhinoceros, the tapir, and
the horse. 1t is about the size Of a
rhinoceros but very different In
form; the head and neck are like
those of the horse The rounded back
legs, although massive like those Of
the rhinoceros, are much longer. The
teeth and feet are very distinctive.
The teeth show that the animal
browsed on vegetation.
"Moropus belongs with rhinoceros,
tapirs and horses to the order of Per
issodactyls, or hoofed mammals with
an odd number of toes on the hind
foot The ruminants, camels, pigs and
hippopotamuses have an even number
of toes either two or four. Moropus
has three toes. The feet with their
great claws are more like those OF
ant eaters and similar digging man.
mails than of any of the hoofed mann
mails to which Moropus really belongs.
1t is suggested that the claws were
designed to aid in scraping away the
sand in dry river beds or other suit
able places to obtain drink"

Representatives is Hunter of Marion
As chairman of the finance commit.
tee of the House the Marion solor
has played the important role in ev-
cry respect in the most conscientious
manner and it may be said of him
even by those who do not thoroughly
agree with him on all matters of pro-
posed taxation that he arrives at his
conclusions after the hardest study
and the most, exhaustive investiga-
tion.
While it came IN as a committee
bill, Mr.. Hunter largely drafted and
was largely responsible for the bill
which the House adopted Friday on
the question of one cent tax on gas
oline for road purposes. Representa-
tive Hunters bill is expected to raise
approximately a million dollars from
this source yearly for the next two
years and will not only be an impor-
tant contribution to the cause of per-
manent roads, but will also make for
the keeping down of the prospective
millage for the next two years.
The chairman of the House commit
tee on taxation is also author of the
inheritance tax bill which passed that
end of the assembly recently. 1t is
still before the Senate. Within the
next few days he viii also propose
other tax measures which are expect
ed to vary from the usual order in
that it will have a special eye on in
direct levies, increasing the number
of occupation taxes in the state con-
siderably and so arranging them that
