Home Made Furniture Polish

Home Made Furniture Polish
Prepared polishes are expensive;
often they contain too much varnish,
which if used too frequently will form
a sticky deposit on the furniture.
Home preparations require little
more work, but they may be used in
large quantities and sealed for use
in several polishings.
Encaustic
A good cleaner to be used before
polish, will remove fresh ink stains
and smoky film: Five quarts boiling
water, OF. laundry soap, OF. sal
soda, 1 ID. wax.
Cue soap and wax fine, put into
water and place over heat. Stir fire.
quently until dissolved. Add sal soda
and remove from heat. Stir constantly
until cool. Put into container that
can be sealed. Before using, heat and
dilute with an equal proportion of
turpentine.
One-to-O One Polish
Easily used, gives high polish: One
part of pariffin oil to one part of tur-
pentie, 1 part of paraffin oil to one
part of alcohol.

CRIME LAID TOROTTENPOL-
ITICS AND SORDID GRAFT
Judge Offutt In Address to At
tOrneys, Flags Administration
of Criminal Laws

Useless and unpopular laws, public
insensibility to violations, "rotten pol
itics," sordid graft" and Sloppy ideal
ism" were given as reasons for the
lawlessness of America by Judge 7.
Scott Offutt, of the Court of Appeals,
in his address Tuesday night to city
and county prosecuting officials at the
dinner of the States Attorneys Asso-
ciaion of Maryland.
Judge Offutt declared that "neither
capable prosecuting officials nor good
laws are sufficient unless they are
supported by public sentiment" He
said the reputation Of the English as
law-abiding people is due chiefly to
the sentiment of the people, not to its
criminal and judicial system.
81 do not suppose that in all the
rest of the world there is as much
science, so-called, as many statistics,
as many commissions, and as little
common honesty in the administration
of the criminal law as there is in
America" he declared.
In spite of public utterances by Off
Gals in the past regarding the "swell
ing tide of crime" Judge Offutt said,
Sin America we have passed more and
more cruel laws, we have gathered
more statistics, we have appointed
more commissions and we have, as is
our custom, talked, talked, talked, but
done nothing.
"Our gift of CAB and our habit of
paying our obligations to civilization
by worthless notes in the form of
laws, some farcical, some brutal, some
emotional, have grown stronger with
the years, so that instaed of learning
from experience and wisdom of doing
more and talking less, we talk even

vices will be held Friday afternoon

A. Shilke, pastor Of St. Marks Luth-

Mrs. Welch was born on October

more and do even less.
at is that atmosphere of tear
full sentiment, emotional hysteria, rot
ten politics, sordid graft and sloppy
idealism that makes it so difficult for
the prosecuting officers to function as
efficiently as they are capable of do
ing or as they are willing and anxious
to do"
Maryland Relatively Free
However, in Maryland, the jurist
declared due to the homogenousness of
the people and traditional atmos-
phere of conservation and common
sense, coupled with a sense of obi
cation as citizens, we are relatively
free from the evils and scandals
found in some other places" Our
prosecutors are what they are because
"the people of this State have been
and are behind them and have faith in
them," Judge Offutt said.

SOMETHING ABOUT. TAXES


The principal suggestion of the un-
thinking person, on taxes is to stake
it out of the rich" either the wealthy
individual or corporation. This was
all good and we'll back in 1929 when
there were plenty of rich and plenty
of prosperous corporations. What
these amateur experts do not seem to
realize is that conditions have changed
for the millionaire and the giant cor
poration since 1929 as we'll as they
have changed for the poorer man.
Therefore all of this talk about rails
ing more income from the 'higher
brackets" is mostly moonshine in this
year 1882. Of course it is easy to fix
the rate but to collect from fat earn
ings when there are no fat earnings
is something else again.
For example,: According to a COM
pilation by Standard Statistics, 299
industrial companies reporting for the
first quarter of 1892 show that they
earned during the first three months
of this year only. $26,0O0,O00 against
$146,00O,00O in the first quarter of
last year, decline of 82.1 per cent.
The situation with the railroads is
even worse. Twenty-Five of them re-
porting earned about seven and half
million dollars in the first quarter of
1881 and showed deficit of over nine
million dollars in the first quarter of
1882. And the number of companies
reporting deficits this year against
earnings last year is too large to make
comfortable reading.
In view of all this, the suggestion of
raising huge amounts of taxes and
balancing the budget by taking it out
on the erich" corporations, sounds a
great deal like plain bunk. The fact
of the matter is that with earnings of
the corporations showing a steady
shrinkage, the time has come when
everyone must bear part of the burden
for balancing the budget, either in
the form of direct nuisance taxes or
indirectly through a sales tax. There
is no other way around it.
So the best thing the average states
man can do, instead of wasting his
breath about taxing billions out of
corporations who haven't got it, is to
insist that there be a trimming and
cutting of governmental expenses,
state and local, as we'll as national.
A dollar saved is a dollar earned.
Each of US has heard that expression
a thousand times. And it applies as
well to the federal government, and
the State and local government as to
the individual. Every hundred dollars
which is cut off public expense means
that hundred dollars less in taxes
will have to be raised.

THE EAGLE

When the welcome sun is high
In the radiant eastern sky,
When the gladstone morn is nigh,
Comes the eagle.
Swooping, swerving, wings it's way
Ger the crest above the bay,
Dark against the sunrise glory,
Eagle views the newborn day.
Over cliffs and ridges steep,
Down ravines and canyons deep,
Still a feeting pace doth keep
Through the mountains.
Nor can dawning's glorious hues
Halt his flight to tell the news
That the world in beauty lies,-
On, unmindful still he goes.
When at last the night draws near,
With the crimson sunset clear,
Eagle swoops without fear
Trough the twilight
To purple peak so far.
Soon beneath lovely star
There his gypsy heart will rest
Till the morning dawns again.

from its own ashes this afternoon
and, laying the cornerstone Of
the new structure on the ruins Of
the old, create again the carnival
illusion for the annual meeting
between the Army and Notre
Dame, barely perennial that
laughs at adverSity and makes a
fool of chance and luck.
Spectators are making brisk
turnover at prices ranging from
$40 to $40, with more dollars than
tickets in sight. Box office win
dows, closed two days ago. The
weather is threatening and as a
general thing, Army-Notre Dame
conditions have been more foul
than fair but, so far as legiti.
mate channels are concerned,
you couldn't buy a ticket today
with a letter from the Bishop
himself.
POmp and Pageantry
Maybe it's the pomp and page
antry Of the cadets. Maybe the
appeal is in the records. which
speak Of gallantry and high cour-
age and the will to win when
failure seems the only way. In
any case, the thing can't miss,
and why should it, with the
almost legendry tales of Rockne
and Dorais; of Flannagan's ia
nous sprint down the sidelines,
Elders 98-yard dash over the
frozen turf and the amazing play
Of George Gipp, the man who ran
like a wrath?
Anyhow, viewed dispassionately,
it's just another football game on
paper. Both have been beaten by
Pittsburgh, one of the great teams
of the year, but not foolproof.
Neither team is a champion and
cannot hope to be. But they're
not going to play this game on
paper. They're going to play it
with two desperate, well-coached
teams, shooting with everything
they have, and the result ought
to be something to take home and
cherish.
Notre Dame is a short-choice
at S to 6 and should be, if ad-
vance stories on the illness of
Melinkovich and Harris are what
they profess to be. Otherwise, it
ought to be all even. The Army,
in fact, doesn't figure to be 100
per cent itself without King, the
end who was lost for the season
in the Harvard game. He, with
Kopscak, the other end, was the
rock on which Notre Danes at
tack split and piled up in vast
disorder last year. He blocked
that kick at Chicago two years
ago, he has always been a great
end. 1t is stating the obvious
to say that the Army will miss
him.
