Among the virile poeuas of recent years, the one entitled "Life by "Phoebe Cleawesi is certainly entitled l^o" more than ordinary consideration, ffrherp -ts a stalwart, masterful njan llnesf ,in these lines which forcibly commend tbem:' Give me a taste of life! Not the tang of a seasoned1 wifie Not the drug of an unearned bread Not the grape of an untllled vine. The life that is really life That comes from no. fount afar, But springs from the toil and strife fn the world of things as they are. Give me the whole of life5 The Joy, the hope and the pain, The struggle whose end is strength, The loss that is infinite gain. Not the drought of a cloudless sky, Not the rust of a fruitless! rest Give me the sun and the storm The calmi and' the white sea crest. Give me the best of life1 To live In the world) with God, Where the seed that ia sown and dies lifts a harvest over the sod. Where beauty and truth are one, Where the right must have its way. Where the storm-clouds part for stars, And' the starlight heralds the| day. Give me the toil of life! The muscle and snind to dare, No luxury's lap for my head, No idly won wealth to share. Whether toy pick or plane, Whether by tongue or pen, Let me not live in vain Let me do a man's work among men. AN EASTER CREED. By John Rusirin.

I will strive to raise my own body and soul daily into all the higher powers at duty andi happiness, not in rival ship or contention with others, but for the help, delight and honor of others and for the joy and peace of my own life.' SPECIAL WASHINGTON CORRES PONDENCE. By Clyde H. Tavenner. The Enprmlty of the Tax on Woolen 'Goods. When a woman purchases $10 worth of woolen dress goods, $4.S7 of that $10 represents the value of the goods and the remaining $5.13 of the $10 the amount of the tariff. In other words, should the purchase be made in England, where there is no tariff on woolens the worn an would receive the same amount and and'quality of dress goods for $4.87 that she pays, $10 for in this coun try. This Is because of the Payne-Aldr rich ad valorem tariff rate of 105 per cent. When the democrats casne into power in the House of Representatives they framed a bill which would reduce- the tax on wool ens nearly 40 per cent. The senffte passed a similar bill. President Taft vetoed the bill, which prevented cheaper and better woolens to American consumers. The democratic majority of the House now present^ the bill again. President Taft will have less ex cuse to veto the bill than before. He declared on the first occasion that a certain tariflf boardi bad not made Its report, andi that to permit a re duction of the duties might make lit impossible for the woolen manufac turers to "protect" their working men. The tariff board report justifiesra downward revision of the woolen schedule. Then since the President vetoed the wooi toil! /there has been a strike of the textile workers at Lawrence, Mass., which has re vealed beyond argument and beyond contradiction that the woolen trust magnates have been fooling and cheating the public all the time. The strike of the $6, $7 and $8 a week men, women and 'children in the woolen mills1 brought to light the fact that while the mill owners have been declaring they were "protect ing"' their workers with fair wages and decent working conditions, they have been paying them starvation wages and treating them almost like animals. The last leg has been knocked frota under the wool tax argument, an& President Taft has no excuse left to explain a veto of the democratic downward! revision wool bill. The President vetoed the first wool bill not for the welfare of either con sumers' or woolen1 trust owners who contributed to his campaign fund. he vetoes the newly introduced wool hil'1 it will 'be for the same rea son, and the poople will so under stand it. Socialism apd Unrest orf People Due -to Exemption of Wealth from Burdens of Taxation. "Up to the time of the income tax decision of the Supreme court, I had never heard that high tribunal criti cised. It was recognized by all men as the final arbiter of Justice. Ab long asi the government retained the power to tax wealth, andi exercised that power, we did not hear the con tinual socialistic cry against the. rich But when the Supreme court aband oned the line of decifrtons that it" had followed for more than 100 'years, and notified the people of this coun try that great wealth was Exempted' from the power at government toi levy taxes against: It, that marked the beginning of tl^. unrest." This is a sample the logic brought to beaj- by Chairman Under wood, of the ways andi means com mittee, in his speeches in favor of the excise Income bill, which pro poses to place a tax on incomes in excess of $5,000, in order that the burden of federal taxation may be borne in part by the wealthy, in stead1 of wholly by the masses. In his speeches and debates on this bill Mr. Underwood demonstrated that he Is one of the ablest floor leadersi of the present generation. In spite of the frequent assertions by republi cans during the last twelve years that the Democratic party lackajl parliamentary leaders, andi that chaos would mark thfe House of Representa tives should the democratic party ob tain control. Mr. Underwood has won the respect and confidence, not only of the democrats, but of the republicans as well, and his recent speeches on the excise-income bill he revealed a masterly knowledge of the subject, and presented his facts so forcefully that those who arose to champion the cause of special privi leged wealth were overwhelmed. "The time will never come,'! con tinued' Chairman Underwood, "when the tolling ma&se® of the American people will be content to bear government shall be levied on the consutalng. capacity of the great masses-tif the people, or whether a comparatively small share of this burden shall be borne by great wealth, whose possessors, more than any one else, receive the benefits of government." During the discussion of this bill, Congressman Madden, a republicai member from Illinois, asked Mr. Un derwood how the proposed bill would affect the possessors of idle wealth, such as Mr. Carnegie. "Under what category," he asked the democratic chairmiyi, "would you pltace the man who is simply the holder of idle wealth in corporations from which he receives his1 income such as is the case of Andrew Car negie?'' "I see from the trend of the gen tleman's remarks," replied Mr. Un deeerwood, that he desires to exempt Mr. Carnegie from paying this tax The purpose of this bill is to reach men like Mr. Carnegie, who today own an immense number of bonds, and are not paying taxes upon them." The Swaklng of the Sugar Trust. The sugar industry in the United States^ according to the wall going up from protectionists, w}ll be ruin ed by the bill removing the tax from sugar, reducing the price to the consumer approximately 2 cents. pound. This, then, will be the fourth time the Industry will haive been "ruined," according to pro tectionists—always according to pro tectionists). The standpatters said- the Industry wouit be ruined when Porto Rico .r was admitted free. But it wasn't. Then they said it would surely perish when Philippine sugar was admitted free, 'and gave up the same cry when Cuban sugar was given a downward1»revision. During this time of "ruin," cane sugar pro duction in this country -, increased .materially, and beet sugar produc tion more than doubled, tut the price of sugar has never ceased to ad vance In price to the consumer. The wholesale price of standard granulat ed sugar on the day this item is written is $5.86 per one hundreed pounds. One week ago today it was $5.75. One month ago today, $5.45, and one year ago, $4.60.x Whether the sugar trust finds It necessary to Increase prices to re imburse Itself for the stolen millions it was forced to disgorge to the government, following the exposure of the underweighing frauds^ or whether the increases are actually justified toy a shortage of sugar pro duction abroad, is considered a de^ batable question toy many. But the fact that, the wholesale price of suigar in London averages two cents a pound less than in the United States, the year around, shows the advantage in favor of the consumers ot the country where there is neith era sugar tariff nor a sugar trust. Whsrs Uridsrwopd Stands. Chairman Underwood of the wayfl and means committee was interrupted in his speech against the sugar tax by a Louisiana member, who Inquir ed of Mr. Underwood what he antici pated woulldf happen to the industry of his state if the tax was taken off of ^ugar." Mr. Underwood stated that in al^frankness to the gentlemen fromvlLbuisiana he did not know what^would happen to the sugar industry«!'of that state but th^j he did know th£ sugar production of Louisiana waii^ less- than one tenth of the entire sugar consump tion in the United-States, and that he did not beUeve-'in the principle of taxing 92,000,OQO^people in order that & few sugar producers in one staite might make an unjust profit. Two Sugar Trust, ChSecks. When the bill to repeal the tax oh sugar was iip for discussion in the House' Asher C. Hinds, of Maine, Arose and loudly proclaimed that the ledger ot the sugar trust in New York would show that the trust had sent checks to the campaign manag ers ot both the Republican and Dem ocratic parties. Mr. HardwLck, of Georgia, replied. 'He said that what Mr. Hinds had stated was true, but that the same book also showed that the check intended for the Democrat ic campaign fund had been returned uncashed, whereas the one sent to the republicans had been cashed and spent.

In my judg ment there is nothing ,thia congress can do that will go further toward quieting discontent in this land than to return to the principles of our fathers, and place a fair share of the burdens of taxation upon the great wealth of the nation. 'This congress i» today presented with an opportunity to say wheether tke taxe* necessary to support t£e emr Economics. It has been found that the things that expand on solidifying, as water, freese at a lower tempssature when the pressure Is increased, while the others freese at a higher. When a substance that expands freezes under higher pressure than usual It has to exert mors force to shove the pres sure away, and consequently has to use up more of Its beat energy, thus losing more heat and consequently be coming colder. Then She Pondered. "If you were fair," his wife said, 'you would acknowledge that I have dons much to make you what you are." "Oh, I acknowledge," he replied, that you deserve nearly all the credit for making me what I am. By the way, do you happen to realise that what I am is head over heels in debtf —Judge. Evidently Not.

Short Talk With Her College-Educat ecTGirfs Bears Fruit, and in Con sequence She Still Remains Their Companion, The bachelor maid's friend looked admiringly at the bachelor maid's mother, who, despite her silver hair, neemed to lack nothing of being as thoroughly up' to date as her daugh ter. Later the friend spoke of It. The bachelor maid smiled. "Mother owes that to herself." she said, "and her own good sense. Years ago, when we children were in col lege, mother said to us, 'Now, don't let me get old-fashioned. I don't wish to be put on a shelf. I wish to keep informed on important subjects and to speak and act correctly. Of course there is constant progress, andi you children in school are learning many new things which I, in the home, can not learn unless you help me', am helping you to acquire this knowledge, .and you must give It back to me. There/are constant changes in the pronunciation of words, for instance, in social customs and in methods of doing things which only college young people learn. Don't let me fall be hind. I am willing to be told. Don't let me grow rusty." She was so sweet about it that of course it was possible to do what she asked without detract ing in any way from what is due her as a mother. In fact, she also said, 'Don't get self-important over It. Don't think you know more than your moth er does. You may, in some respects, but in others you will not, so there will always be an even balance. We can help one another if you children keep sensible about it.' "The result is, as you see, that mother is more like a sister to us than she is like an elderly person, who might become tiresome. Mother never is. I know young women whose mothers are their worst prob lem, because the mothers assume that they can never learn anything from their children—that it would impair their maternali dignity to have an im provement suggested to them. Those young women have not half so much real respect for their mothers as we have for ours, and it is Impossible for them to enjoy and love their mothers as they should, because they are liv ing in two different atmospheres. The mothfers bore the young people, and the young people fret the mothers. Our mother keeps step right along with us, because she has been will ing to learn in one of the ways which was open to her after some others were closed. "If there Is doubt about the pro nunciation of a word, for Instance, we take it to the dictionary in prayer, Just as if mother was no older than the rest of us, and if any of us have been mispronouncing it we change our ways. We keep constantly edu cating one another, and no one of us has a chance to feel self-important. That has been mother's recipe. I think it is original and unique and you are a witness of its merits." Diogenes, Please Note. "Not all the wbrld is dishonest," said the man who had Just given some body an opportunity to be. "I have had several experiences which have revealed a remarkable sense of. hon esty, even here in New York, where many people seem to think it.is un known. A few days ago I lost a $2 bill in a small shop where I was 'buy ing some supplies, but there was no proof to that effect. In fact, I was not at all sure myself'that I had not loBt It before entering the shop: How ever, the dealer promised to keep watch for it and, to my amazement, he returned it to me when I Was in there yesterday. Evidently I had dragged it out of my pocket and It had flipped into a corner, where It had lain unnoticed until the janitor had found.it when cleaning the prem-. ises. It would have been perfectly easy for either the janitor or the pro prietor of the shop to have concealed the find, but evidently they hadn't thought of doing sutfh a thing. The perfectly honest, simple and direct action was the only one pursued, and I feel proud to know such men."—New York Press. -i:, Democratic State Convention.
