Republican speakers, being un-
able to disprove the figures
showing the increase in taxes in
Bates county as published in The
Times last week have complained
that the table does not show all
the taxes and that merchants
license taxes and the taxes on
railroads, telephone and tele-
graph companies have been
omitted. All right. Here are the
rest of the figures. Read 'em
and weep. Merchants licenses
were charged $3224.S3 less for
1922 than for 1920. The figures
on the taxes charged against
railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone companies are not avail
able for 1872, but the taxes
charged against them for 1921
were 45,916.27 len than for 1870.

On the homeward voyage the author works
all one afternoon, setting type and distribut-
ing old songs among the passengers-such
songs as maggie Murphy's Home" etc. They
are sung and "put the passengers in fine

our faithful chauffeur, at the wheel, and

One may wonder, perhaps, at the use of the
word exploits" in the title Of book of travel.
But this is different sort Of travel book,
and exploits" is really small word to use in
connection with it. The author says in his
preface that the book contains interesting inn
pressions and authentic information" He is
altogether too modest about it.
The book is pocket size and is published by
the Pussy Press, Of New York, and retails for
81. The frontispiece is portrait Of the de-
tective- author-traveler.

piers take picture Of thee standing beside
me for thou to cherish all thy days."
Then he turned to Corners Bey with bale
full eve, and the intruder, salaaming and kiss
ing the ground between his hands, spake:
"oh, great Caliph, summon thee in the
interests of good government and Will ibn
Hearst-chiefy the latter-to declare thyself
with no more ado as enlisted among the forces
that strive to raise him to the Sultans throne"
And the Caliph blinked thrice and replied:
eff it is the will of Will, delighted, I'm sure"
Then cried Corners Bey in delight: :Allah
illah Allah! Behold, this day hath the number
of the supporters of Will ibn Hearst been in
creased by thy action 100 per cent"
But the Caiph only made answer:
"S-s-sh! Not so much noise. You'll wake
him again.
Now it came to pass that after many days,
the Shek ul Islam tarried little upon the
shore of his own land ere he fastened once
more back to see that the Atlantic did not
move away in the interests Of England.
And Corners Bey, having filled one entire
chamber with empty checkbooks, locked the
door upon them and went forth to greet his
lord.
Then salaamed he before the Sheik ul Islam,
who passed hand over his forehead and
spake, saying: ooh, yes, Mr.. Conners I re-
member meeting you before"
And Corners Bey gave answer:
ooh, lord of unlimited circulation, appear
before you on behalf Of my constituent-con-
stituents, mean-urging thee to yield to our
entreaties and become Sultan Of this realm"
Then dropped the Sheik ul Islam his eyes
to his lap and he blushed and bridled and fall
tered at length:
ooh, Mr.. Corners, this is so sudden. have
no desire to rush into the arena Of politics.
Give me, pray, time to think it over. Then,
perchance, I may run, if discover that the
public demand is great enough"
And Corners Bey whispered behind his
hand, "Psst! Better lay off that public de-
mand stuff. Thy servant, oh, Sheik, knoweth
whereof he speaketh."

They open negotiations for the sale of their

number Of dinars.
Yet, while those who sought market for
their wares thronged day and night the cham
bers Corners Bey had rented, and though the
scribes and statisticians labored nightly under
his direction, appealing to the men Of Islam
and their leaders to stand forth for Will and
be counted, the results were no more gainful
than those obtained by him who fisheth in the
Dead Sea for trout.
And after many days Corners Bey laid
another emptied checkbook on the pile that
grew rapidly toward the ceiling and sighed
and took count of the proceeds Of his labors
in the cause of his lord.
Then learned he that by his appeal to the
people and the spending of dinars past the
counting Of man he had obtained four bales
of letters declining his invitation to join the
cause and knowledge of three things that the
Sheik ul Islam had never been called before.
Yet these were not available for campaign use.
Then spake Corners Bey: Behold, the cam
paign gathered Roadway slowly and it is meet
and proper that I contrive some way to step
on the gas little" Then bethought he himself,
and at length, clapping his hands, he sum-
moned his chariot and Jared forth to the palace
where the good Caliph Hy-lan safe in state
porting over volume of learning hight ''The
Care and Feeding of Children" by the Hakim
Holt.
Then entered Connors Bey the presence of
the Calph with heavy step as was his wont.
And the sound of his coming reused an infant
who had slumbered in a bassinet beside the
Caliph, and caused him to lift up his voice
and wall.
Thereat the good Hy-1an frowned upon the
intruder, saying:
CHOW, look what you've went and DONE"
And the Caliph bent above the infant and
soothed it, saying:
"There, there. am delighted to see you all
to-day Grandpa is for the people and against
the Interests and presently we shall go out on
the steps of my palace and have my photogra-

and labored to make Will Sultan. Yet none
thought to ask him whence came the funds
lavished by him to this end
And he sent missionaries forth into the
land to carry the word of truth and virtue to
those that dwelt in dark places. Then after
many days some Of these returned, weary and
spent, while yet others returned not at all
and many came back and resigned their posts
campaigners for the Sheik ul Islam say
ing:
Behold, from the laughter that hath greet
ed our every remark, we are convinced that
our time in politics is wasted and we there
fore relinquish our jobs and intend to try
out in vaudeville"
And they took the dinars due them for
their endeavor and departed and none queried
whence Corners 'Bey, the friend of Will ibn
Hearst had obtained these funds.
Now, day. and night the chambers dedicated
to making Will ibn Hearst Sultan of the
realm were filed with men. There were
those who sought contracts for the fashioning
of campaign buttons like unto the sands of
the sea for multitude. The vendors of red
fire and tin horns in myriads focked to see
Corners Bey and the writers of campaign
literature and the fashioners of political
speeches came after their kind. And among
their number was one who lifted up his voice,
saying he carried that without which Will
ibn Hearst might never hope to be made Sui
tan.
Then said Corners Bey: ''What Dearest
thou"
And the stranger from afar replied:
"Prince, behold I have fashioned soap that
removeth stains be they even of the deepest
yellow and eradicateth all blemshes, Soils,
spots and rots.'
And Corners Bey purchased largely of this,
and filed with the others who clamored large
orders of their wares for the glory of Will
ibn Hearst, and these went their way and none
asked him whence he had received SO large q

had called friend these many years.
Wherefore he cried aloud in the market
place: "Willi ibn Hearst shall be Sultan over

Yet none thought to stay his speech and
ask him why he so shouted
And Corners Bey entered great caravan

"Give me lordly chambers such as will hold the
press Of cheering thousands and furnish them

for the glory Of virtue until Will ibn Hearst

And the inn keeper did as Corners Bey

Then sat him down the friend Of Will ibn

At Last, the Bare Truth
About Ships Concerts

Mr.. Dougherty did Europe between Novem-
1922, at 1915 q. Mat least he was away
from Hoboken that long, to the minutes. These
things enlivened his start: "The Star-Span-
ged Banner, tears, cheers, goodbys, waving
Of flags, face of friends, down stream, Statue
Of Liberty, the Narrows Coney Island. Long
Beach and the ocean-only the ocean,"
After description Of the ship, the George
Washington, the traveller says, under date of
November 16: Last night we had one of those
regular amateur concerts. Very bad" He
lets,it be known at the outset that there is to
be no temporizing with the musical bores on
shipboard On his return trip he further par
tcularizes regarding this species as follows:
"On every ocean voyage there is the damn
fool passenger. We discovered him to-day, he
Is a blond with his hair parted in the middle
and plays ragtime on the piano with one finger
and thumb, is very keen for the girls, kind of
mammals boy, and was much provoked that

shoes. Oh, gosh! he is agent for cornflakes,
grapenuts or something Of the sort He is
what is known as a cake eater in New York.
He drank two lemonades at the bar and had
to be put to bed by the room steward. Very
smooth going"
The sentence about the smooth going does
not refer to the cornfake agent, of course, but
to the voyage.
