A MEXICAN history grants Fred
~ erick Douglass II high place
among those leaders who had Il
formative influence in shaping the ma
tion's destiny during its darkest hours
and when human slavery rocked the
very foundation upon which we stood.
He was an orator and more for he
carried righteous message to peo-
pies of many lands and won for his
race the sympathies of those who held
as n faith that of one blood God ere
ated all of mankind. He was Il states
man and more, for he struck at the
sunerstructure of Il nation half slave
and half free and aided in its recon-
structiOn upon the surer foundation OF
freedom and justice. He was II pa
triot and more, for though he voiced
the cries and anguish of his people
bowed beneath the yoke of bondage,
he gloried in the majesty of exalted
American citizen as did Sumner, Gar
rison, Lincoln and other great men of
his time. We commemorate his an
niversary along with that of the great
Emancipator for he was born Feb
ruary IA, 1917. There is strange
companionship in the part played by
these two great characters in the his
tory of our country. Neither knew
compromise and neither could be
shaken from righteous cause that in
the ultimate meant equality before
the law and equality of opportunity
for all citizens without regard to race
or color.

now you will get land at farm prices

in Dearfield if you think there is oil
there or if you want good home in

SECRET TAX returns
Rejected BY SENATE

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The ad-
ministration received the hardest jolt
since it came into power when the SEN
ate voted for full publicity of tax
returns. The majority party attempt
ed to placate a popular demand for
this publicity by presenting a care
fully drawn provision in the Mellon
bill that would allow inspection of tax
details only by authorized congress
sional committees. The senate re-
jeeted this propoasl and by a two-to-
one vote declared for full publicity.
By practically the same vote the
senate adopted another provision
which will give public access to all
claims for attachments or refunds of
income tax payments and the sub
sequent decisions on such pleas.
Under the present law nothing is
more sacredly guarded than income
tax returns and refunds of taxes.
The later is increasing by leaps and
bounds and now runs into the mil
lions of dollars on the word of treas
ury officials. The proceedings are
considered as a confidential matter
between treasury officials and the tax
claimant
This addition in the Mellon tax bill
brings anguish to the old guard. Ev-
cry effort will be made to reconsid-
er these two votes which permit popu-
lar enlightment on large incomes.

STEEL PROFITS BREAK
ALL FORMER RECORDS

NEW YORK, May 15.-In the first
three months of this year the steel
trust reports a net profit of more
than $5O,0OO,O0O. This is the largest
net of any peace-time quarter in the
trusts history.
This latest report is the clearest
refutation of the judgment of trust
officials who predicted disaster to this
industry if the long work day were
abandoned.
Instead, the steel trust is enjoying
most prosperous times. The same
condition exists in other steel corpor-
atoms. The Bethlehem steel corpor-
alton disposed Of $3O,OOO,OOO six

called Independents and controls the

Denny is starred coming next Sunday
and Monday to the D. & R. theater.
Denny is noted in the Hollywood
film colony for his excessively fast
driving. He is a wonderful driver
and likes to play tag with the best
racers. But his craving for speed
was entirely satisfied during the
filming of his latest feature. It is
a story of automobile racing, writ
ten by Byron Morgan, author of the
famous Roaring Road" stories pub
lished in the saturday Evening Post.
The climax of the story comes in
a big road race and all of the thrill
of such race has been caught by
the camera for the Denny film. The
road race was staged at San Luis
Obispo, near Monterey, California,
and many of the most famous driv-
ers of the country rode in it. Denny,
by the way, proved himself first
rate racing driver.
Denny is supported by Laura La
Plante and an all star cast. Harry
A. Pollard directed the picture.

Formerly two men operated this
hammer, popularity known as "the
gun" Now one man operates the
machine, whose vibration skaters the
workers nerves. The size of rivets
is increased as is the air pressure. In

is often enforced, and the increased
