NUMBER ~
LEXINGTON ENJOYS
SPLENDID OCCASION.

The people of Lexington and con-
siderable number Of the adjacent
country enjoyed rich and rare treat
on Thursday night of last week, in the
presentation by local talent of the
Japanese musical comedy, "Miss
Cherry Blossom" which was put on
under the auspices Of the Parent.
Teachers Association and directed by
the City School Principal, Miss Fay
Houston, and Mrs. Myrtle Joyner, the
latter carrying the musical feature Of
the operetta from the first rehearsal
to the falling Of the last curtain. We
can take this occasion to state that
Mrs. Joyner is a musician and pianist
who would be credit to the musical
circles Of any city. Miss Houston as
a directress is par excellent.
The stage was beautifully decorated
in the Japanese mode, with blooming
cherry trees, lanterns, etc, and special
electric wiring had been done to at
tain the desired effects.
The entire "dramatis personea" was
given in the Progress two weeks ago,
hence it is needless for us to repeat
the cast of characters, but it is due
Messrs j, H. Davis, John Potts, Hall
Frazier, J. M. Phillips, Sammie Pear
son, H. D. Barry, Miss Elizabeth
Spellings and Mrs. John A. Mccall,
who carried the leading parts, to state
that each and every one performed his
and her part in manner that would
have been creditable to veterans on
the stage. The three choruses of Gel
sha (Jap) girls, American girls and
American young men, performed their
respective parts so well, that added to
the parts of the leaders, made the ca
pacity audience vote the entertain
ment perhaps the best ever witnessed
lin Lexington.
The financial returns (about
$16S.00 nett were exceedingly graf
lifying to the Parent Teachers Asso-
Ieiation, which body IS working hard ~
pay for the expensive seats purchas-
ed for the City School auditorium. The
suggestion has already been made
that repetition of "Miss Cherry
Blossom" in Lexington ought to pay,
as those who missed it last Thurday
night will be glad to have the oppor-
tunity given them to see it--and
many will take advantage of an op-
portunity to again witness the per-
formance.
We can single out Mr.. j. II. Davis,
teacher of vocal music who has late
ly come to us from the country, and
say that not single marlin Lexing-
ton could have better played the diff
cult part of Togo a Jap politician
who finally meets his downfall.

1t has been proposed that an anna
teur baseball league be formed in

STATE INCOME TAX

Federal income taxes are so heavy
that congress is urging more taxes up
on land.
Because the land taxes are so heav,
state politicians are urging the en-
actment of state income taxes.
1t is estimated that federal and
state taxes now aggregate cents an
hour per capita of the entire popula-
tion..
But the tax-gathers and the tax
spenders want more and more land
tax and more and more tax earnings
and business.
A kind of middle class of official
salary-drawers are organized to pro-
mote any new form Of taxation.
The tax investigating commission of
the state of Washington has again re-
iected the state income tax as it did
two years ago.
1t seems they do not want to place
any further obstacles in the way Of
peolGe, industries and investments
coming to that state
One small western state like Oregon
with only 100000 population is paving
this year a trifie like $S0,000,000 in
taxes.
No western state has adopted the
state income tax except North Dako-
ia. state that has gone broke under
the Coxeyite ministrations of the
Townley Ncn-partisan League.

WHAT'S TIE HURRY7

Did you ever sit in the window of
the top story of big city hotel and
look down at your fellow mortals,
drilling like ants in the street below?
Fascinating to watch the hurrying
thrCng on the crowded city street, isn't
1t? See them as they are swept along
-cailoused hands and corn-sore feet,
there goes grandeur with is wise
grimace and there goes poverty with
its fawning face. Rushing, gushing
speeding, spending, paying and playing.
over there on one corner is a little
band of people that are actually pray
ing.
Watch the stream Of humanity as
1t ebbs and flows in the street below.
That bcbbing sea OF hats resembles a
mob mad with the desire TO get some
where. They are sacrificing health
fJr The satisfaction Of some unGrench-
able desire. Others are forfeiting
fy,ends for money. Some are cheat
iE2 others beating, and the morning
raper VIII tell you Of some man that
vas murdered FOR money.
And az YOU sit there, perched high
on the hctel w.nIow sill ana watch
the mad scramble below, the scene
Inspires cnotl.er picture that fits
everyone On the 5,reet--lits you and
fits me-hits you and hits me.
Some dGy they will take yea away,
forever, Some dey they will cart your
ocld clay to n quiet nook, some lonely
spot where arches green form 4 silk
en ro2-; and tt-Te, UrGor the evening
stars that aEiEo, ncurIod by the voice
Of laCely pine, vcu'li rest.
And the thought that comes to you
is this: 10 yen want mora wealth,
or is health the most important thing =?
Ask the millionaire who has just heard
the doctor declare that he is suffering
from an incurablo disease He will
tell you quickly 10 take all his money
and give him back his health. He will
offer to change places with the man
who sweeps the streets.
Did you ever stop to think that
Saint Peter will net cssh certified
checks? Do you realize that the tin
god of money is no kin to the great
God Of Mercy? 10 you realize that
grave worms are no respectors of the
rich?
Then, What's the hurry?

DISSOLUTION WOULD
BE BLOW TO OREGON


Oregon has felt the full effect OF
the government suit to force dssolu
ton of the Southern Pacific and Cen.
tral Pacific.
Just previous to the starting of
this suit nearly ten years ago the
Southern Pacific planned to complete
the gap between Natron and klamath
Falls. This was commonly referred
to as the Na.ron cutoff. 1t would
have been a most important addition
to the railroad map of Oregon as it
would have opened up vast areas of
new country and given second
through route to San Francisco elm
mating the heavy grades in the Sis
kiyous.
The Southern Pacific planned large
shops in Springfield, Oregon, for .he
building of cars, locomotives and etc.
II purchased several hundred acres
OF land and was just ready to start
construction Of permanent indus
trial plant which would have EN-.
pl0yed hundreds of men, when like a
clap of thunder out of clear sky .he
su.C was started to separate the op-
GRAFTON and control of the Central and
Southern Pacific.
This would have left the Southern
Pacific line ending at Hornbrook,
California, where i. Joined what was
known as the old Central Pacific.
From this point to Tehama, some two
hundred miles south, the Southern
Pacific would have had no track
AS a result expenditures involving
millions of dollars, which were to
have been made in Oregon, csould not
be made for If the dissolution suit was
successful the Southern Pacific shops
at Springfield and the Klamath Falls
Natron cutoff would have been a USE
less addition 20 the system with no
outlet of It's own south of Hornbrook.
The people could not conceive thar
two railroads such is the Southern Pa
cific and the Central Pacific, which
while technically two different roads

reality had been a Ginglo road under

A MOTHERS GRIEE

Because her only son died, q widow
ed mother gave herself up to selfish
grief, became recluse and af-
ter several years was found dead in
her self-assigned prison one beautiful
June morning. In ,ne basement CT
her once spacious and beautiful home,
this woman died mid the squa.or of
seven years of excessive indulgence in
grief, during which time she refused
to see friends, reighbors or relatives.
She had inflicted upon her self the
bodily discomfort of dirt, and the tor
ture of starvation Dy the slow process
of just enough bread and milk to keep
her poor, shriveled soul in her frail
body. Insane, you say? At the end
yes; but at the beginning, just VIC
tim of her se:-isn indulgence Of grief.
Her miserable end revealed her pitia-
BILE lack of faith. Deaf to the weary
worlds cry for help, blind to the
needs of her neighbors, Indifferent to
the suffering of the bodily wounds
and the anguish Of other peoples
hurts, this woman nursed selfish
grief-while all about her was the
means to help-help materially. gen.
erously, with money, If not by per-
sonal aid-for this woman was
wealthy.
The doors were broken down and
the authorities took charge. She was
buried, unwept, unhonored and un-
sung. The distant relatives divided
her property and the old world moved
on. This pitiful tale is true because
the broken-hearted mother, left alone
through the dea.h of her idolized son,
did net know that the only cure for
grief is action, tia; grief is the agony
Of the instant, and then should come
the chastening Influence of fortitude,
finding solace in forgetting self in SER
vice to others less fortunate or more
heavily burdened.
The. poor mothers excessive grief
created a species of idleness. An idle
life is useless life and useless life
is wasted life-a crime against God
and man.

LEARN ABOUT THE FARMER

Back of all legislation must stand
united public opinion which always is
to be trusted in this nation when the
people have intelligent understanding.
Most of our troubles come from i'm
perfect knowledge and consequent
lack of interest in public questions.
For years this has been the case with
the American farmer whose situation
and Importance until lately has not
been even measurably sensed. AS
soon as the people generally in the
great cities as well as in the smaller
communities come to realize how
much Of the nations prosperity de-
pends on the farm then the wheels OF
reform will begin to turn with rapidity
and all the people will benefit.
Almost half our population is rural,
living on six and one.half millions OF
farms which employ approximately
thirteen millions of workers The
value Of theI anny;l produtEIon OF
these men is $19H76,0 ,000, which
is greater than that of mining or Of
any branch OF manufacturing
What sad commentary it is upon
our legislative intelligence when we
realize that in spite Of these stupen
dous ana important figures, the in
come CT each farm factory or farm
mine whichever way we choose 20
visualize it, averages only S2,793.
The province OF government is to
create prosperity, the greatest good
for the greatest number, to harmon
;ze the laws under wAi1h we live 81
that reward shall come 10 the people
in relation to their service. There
are between the City Hall in New
York and the Battery Woll--a distance
that can be walked in ten minutes,
thousands OF high binders in the world
OF speculation who have never done
an honest days work in their lives,
but who make ofien in day and quite
frequently in a week as much ii not
more than the average farmer makes

public not only to seek information
regarding the farmer, but to insist up
On having it. When this demand is
