jumped higher. Someone yelled
Shoot him in the pants, the coat

Hank, they did, ouch, put the fire
out, or call the Fire Department. %
Seventy-five western outfitted
people lined at the bar, rushed to
the fire. Here goes, they yelled.
Seventy five glasses of foaming
suds were aimed at Harry. Some hit
the mark. Anyway soon there was
only small streak Of smoke COM
ing from Harry's lower region, and
then - all was We'll.
Next morning an ORDER went in
to effect that no firearms be allow
ed within the Fort, with the excep-
tino of those carried by the city po-
lice.

WHY THE RUSH

With siren going full blast, Ray
mond Lockhart whizzed up ano
down Morley avenue Wednesday af-
ternoon just before the parade.
"Who does he think he is?" ask
ed one of his school mates.
when did he start rating a car
with siren?" asked the rest. The
fact of the matter is that Lockhart
had been employed by Herbert
King, in charge of the parade, to
assist in pulling it off smoothly.
Part of his duty was to help keep
Morley clear of cars and to carry
messages for the paraders.
So the boys can calm themselves
about Lockhart now.

When Jack MacFarland, Para
mount News reel man, was called
down here to make some movies
he was told that he was to photo
graph shots of Frontier Nights. Now
Jack is no slim Jim. He weights
about two hundred and sixty
pounds and is not so nimble on his
feet. And, there might be some wild
critters in that parade he thought
Although he is called Jack The
Giant Killer" in moviedom, he plays
safe.
His assistant in taking pictures is
Shorty Kelso, one of the greatest
active bulldoggers and rodeo per-
formers. Shorty participated in all
rodeos throughout Arizona, Texas,
and California for the past thirty
five years.
$50 far says Shorty, there's
been no particular work to be done.
except to round up enough of them

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. What does it indicate when a man, in conversation, is constantly talking about himself, his adven- lures and experiences?
 A. It is a sure indication of ill., breeding, and such a man can never become popular.
 O. How should one use the din- ner napkin?
 A. The napkin should be used to wipe the mouth before using the water glass; this will prevent smear- ing the glass. It is also used to dry the fingers, particularly after using the finger bowl.
 @. Is it ever proper for the par ents of a girls fiance to announce the engagement? ..
 A. No; that is the privilege of the girls parents only.

 but do not cOmpel'
SUNDAY, JUNE IA, 1886.

SUNDAY, JUNE IA, 1886.
 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which should bring peace and happiness to many men and wo- men. It is time for special church services that stir the mind deeply and will long be remembered.
 Women come under direction of the stars that is most promising to them. Whatever pertains to the home is believed to be especially fa- vored under this sway.
 Love affairs are well directed, but letters should be postponed. The summer is to be a period of in- creased interest in romance. Old and young will seek of beautiful harmonies.
 Although modern ideas will con- tinue to permeate all the arts there is to be gradual acceptance of what is of supreme attainment ac- cording to established standards.
 The tendency toward reaction will be evident in all the arts and will have it's effect upon centers where culture is aided through large expenditures of money.
 This is an suspicious day for whatever is constructive or restor- ative. Owners of country places should make the most of opportun- ities to complete repairs and re- building.
 American homes will gain new fame through their charm and com fort. Again astrologers prophecy great attainments in gardening Rare plants will be cultivated with success.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of happy ex- periences. Gifts and pleasant sur priseS are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be of sanguine tempera- ment and great intelligence. Sub- jects of this sign win many devoted friends.
 Robert M LaFollette, late United States Senator and political leader, was born on this day 1855 Others who have celebrated it as birth day include Richard Realf, poet, 1884; Harriet Beecher Stowe, au- thor, 1811; Roswell Morse Shurt- Jeff, artist, 1888.

A SLAP IN THE FACE FOR ALASKA

There is much of disappointment and discour- agement for Alaska Republicans in the action of the national convention at Cleveland.
 Entirely ignoring the residents of this Territory well as those of Hawaii and Puerto Rico the plat form committee refused utterly to take cognizance of the peadngs of the representatives from these pos sessions for minor at least, promise of further self-government. It little short of direct slap in the face to those up-standing and women of Alaska who through the years have given their best to the Territory in the hope of building it into a of the United States. True there Presidential votes in the Territory but it would appear to be a short-sighted policy which deliberately ignores those who it would look to for support of the party in other capacities.
 If there is natural turning away from Repub- can policies to those of Democratic administration which has concentrated on development of the Terri tories and island possessions the leaders at Cleveland will have only themselves to blame
 The sharp contempt of the new Landon party foI the people of the north is in marked the existent administration which has left no stone un- turned in effort to give the Territory much that it desires. The program for Alaska mapped out by Dr. Ernest Gruening Director of Territories anc lSldIlu FoSStSSlOHS department on recent visit here stands in garing contrast in com parison with the action at Cleveland.
 Dr Gruening told of the efforts being put fortf by the Administration for developing air mail anc transportation in the north, with which we are al familiar; of the encouragement of tourist travel o the endeavors to develop the mineral wealth; of legislative action which brings Alaska under the pro- visions of the same statutes which benefit the States of the International highway; of harbor and river development, and multitude of other things many of which we have make actual progress in the last three years. How hollow and empty sounds the action at Cleveland in comparison
 Alaskans disregard party in the interests of their land and it is despairng indeed to residents of the

From the Same Pockets
(New York World Telegraph

History may record differently, but do not recall that a good tax law has been enacted in an election year
 By good tax law we mean which undertakes to raise necessary revenue by honest and open as- Sessments against the people, proportloned to ndl- vidual ability to pay It is hard enough even to get
 law of this type seriously considered in non-elec- ton year But in a campaign year it is practically impossible.
 It seems to be part of every politicians esson of faith that the people will get mad if they ever find out how much they paying in taxes. Just as owls shun daylight and prey at night, so do politicians spurn visibility in favor of taxation by in- direction
 Hence it is not surprising that the Senate Finance Committee took only one look and then backed away
 from the proposal to add per cent to the normal tax on individual incomes It would not have made much of dent in the incomes taxed, and would not have added greatly to the governments revenue We be- lieve with Senator La Follette-who somehow doesn't think it is politically dangerous to be frank with taxpayers-tha the proposal should have gone further that it should have specified normal rate of 6 per cent rather than 5, and should have provided surtax increases to get more from larger incomes and lower exemptions to double or triple the number of income taxpayers. But the mild l per cent addition on incomes already taxed was enough to give the Finance Committee Senators the ballot fever"
 Let no be deceived In turning down this proposal these Senators not protecting the people from paying taxes. They have to get the reve nue. and they will get it from the same people and also from many other people whose incomes are not
 in taxable brackets But they will get it by indirect levies In this particular bill the method is by higher corporation taxes which come from consumers in the form of higher prices and from stockholders in the form of lower dividends Like the sales tax the poraton tax is pocketpicking device. Its principal virtue is that it will produce revenue. We hope that some day all invisible taxes will be repealed and all will be obtained by levies which the taxpayers can see and feel and which are prorated according to each taxpayers ability to tribute to the cost of the government So long as most taxes invisible and not pro-rated we shall never have the strong popular sentiment we should have in this country for real prudence in gov ' ernment spending.
