WHAT GREAT NAPOLEON SAID
Should Tax Vices Instead of Property.
In a Rich, Prosperous Community
Taxes Are No Burden In a Com
munity Where the Local Town Is
Dead Taxes Ars Hiflh. , .'
Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan.
Taxing is an easy business. Any
new official enn contrive new imposi
tions, any bungler call ndd to the old,
but is It altogether wise to hare no
other bounds to your Impositions than
the patience of those who are to bear
them?
What a benelit the government
would render the state, the city, the
village and hamlet if It would but tax
vices lnstcud of property! Bonaparte
said he found vices very profltoble.
He got $5,000,000 annually from the
lovers of brandy, and be wanted to
know what virtue would pay him that
much. r .
Taxes Increasing Each Year,
Taxes are the sinews of the state,
and they are indeed heavy, but if those
laid by the government were the only
ones we bad to pay we might more
easily discharge them, but we have
others, and much moro grievous to
some of us. , .,
We are taxed twice as much by our
ignorance, three times as much by our
disloyalty and four .times ns much by
our folly, aud from these taxes the
commissioners cannot case or deliver
us by allowing an abatement
The state, county and town levy and
exact a certain tax from every piece of
property located withlu their bound
aries, the amount depending upon the
official requirements. In a rich, pros
perous community, where marketing
; and manufacturing lend their stimulat
ing influences, tuxes are low. A com
munity where the local town is dead
taxes necessarily are high.
The explanation is easy. The town
which Is prosperous lias successful
merchants with lurge nnd valuable
stocks of goods; It has manufacturing
plants nnd Industrial enterprises of
great worth; It has newspapers, bank
ing houses mill hotels, and, abovQ all,
It Is a marketing center. The large
amount and the high value placed upon
litis property materially decreuse the
tax demands nnide upon the farmer In
that vicinity, ,
8treets Paved 'With Jimson Weeds
Then lako the other town, the dead
(own. Whut are the cause and effect?
Tho cnuso Is lack of piitronnge. lack of
. Industrial pride, disloyalty and igno
rance of one's own condition and best
Interests. The effect? Tho town bus
become a "Jay" town. In the streets
have grown jliuson weeds, the side
walks have gone to decay, the stores
are vacant, and an air of poverty and
dilapidation prevails.
In this latter town and tho surround
ing coinmpilly taxes are high, prop
erty values have (Increased, nnd alto
'.'ether it Is an undesirable place to live
In, and the disposition of such property
In nil Impossible font.
As we stand aud survey the ruins of
a once prosperous and promising city
uo turn to the onco successful retail
merchant, now standing In tho door of
Ills empty store, nnd ask for the an
swer. Briefly lie makes reply: "The retail
catalogue bouses. Our residents iu this
community beenme hypnotized by their
plrturcs nnd prices and misrepresenta
tions, and this is the result."
On the Altar of Greed.
They sacrificed their own Interests
and their own town ou the nliar of
greed and misunderstanding.
The farmer should easily compre
hend that when a stock of goods In a
store Is depleted one-half or more It
cannot be taxed for more than IU
value, and In case the merchant for
lack of putronogo is forced to retire
altogether from business then there
remains nothing to be taxed but the
building. And what can it be taxed
at provided a tenant who Is wllllug to
take a chance with his money cannot
be found? Eventually the farmer will
have to pay the taxes. This merchant
formerly paid, and it the farmer con
tinues throwing bis patronage to out
side concerns bo will continue to re
duce local values and increase his
taxes.
Reflect Too Little.
Soma farmers read too much and re
flect too littlo depend too much upou
others, too littlo upon tuomsolves.
They make of their heads cold storage
Warehouses for other people's tdeus
instead of standing up In their own
Independent, godlike Individuality.
Heading nnd rereading of mail order
catalogues leave a man In about the
same condition as Mark Twniu's toad
with IN stomach full of shot
What do the mail order bouses do
for the farmer? ' Do they relieve him
of any of his tax burdens? NO; they
Just relieve him of his money. It is u
case of representation without taxa
tion, nnd we fear lu time this manner
Mill method of doing business will
cause a revolution among the pro
ducers and consumers which wllf
eclipse the American Revolution.
We would suggest to the mail order
catalogue bouses that they shear, not
skin, their sheep.
Lille and Its Pictures.
Lille, according to a writer in the
London Academy, if one of the few
uninteresting towns of Franco. lie
went there "obstinate In the belief
that no town In Kriince with over 200,
000 inhabitants could lie entirely with
out Interest,''' but Anally "fled to the
station, defeated.' nnd took train for
Lnon." In Justice, however, the critic
makes the coiiKl'lemblo ndnilsslou .that
"Lille has perhaps the 11 nest collection
of pictures In Knuic?niitslde Paris." .
, BRAZIL ? AND ; ITS COLORS. ,
Flag Day There Has Now Become the
Great National Festival. ,
In the republic of Itassll. where the
ruling language Is Portuguese uhd .a
welcoming hand is extended alike to
j the European nnd the Asiatic immi
grant, grout attention has-been paid
for some years to the cultivation of a
spirit of patriotism.
Tn cult of the flag has become more
and more ardent In the hearts of
that people, and the "feast of the flog"
each-recurring November Is celebrated
with more and more pomp aud enthu
siasm all over the immense empire and
on every Hrnzlllnn ship, wherever it
tuny be. In n country noted for Its nu
merous saints' days the celebration of
Plug day. bus become the true festal
day. '' - -;
Commenting ou this, Lo Bresll Eco
noinlquv of lllo Janeiro siiys: "Our
people are Imaginative nnd simple. A
flag undulating In the breeze as It
pusses by to the strains of martial
music, tliut the olfleers suluto with the
sword and before which everybody un
covers, speaks more strongly to the
beiirt of the people tlinn any dry his
toric date which presents nothing In
the concrete nnd which lo the ignorant
recalls nothing of slgnlllcniice."
Tile lesson of the flag Is taught to all
tlie children of the schools in Brazil,
and on King day they gather lu the pub
lic squares of the city and town nnd,
as in the United States, slug patriotic
hymns. Indianapolis News'.
COLLEGE HAZING.
It Was Called "Wrecking" In Carthage
In St, Augustine's Time,
At most American colleges It is called
"hazing;" at West Point It Is called
"crawling" and nt English schools
"fugging" is often applied. When St.
Augustine was n boy they called it
"wrecking."
Iu a translation of his "Confessions,"
for which I am Indebted to n learned
clerical friend, 'St. Augustine relates
whut tho boys did nt the University of
Cnrthnge:
"I would take no part in the wild do
ings of the 'wreckers,' n cruel and dev
ilish name, which was looked upon ns
the stump of the best set. I went about
with them, nnd of some of them I made
friends, yet I always disliked their
ways of going on their wreckings,
their wanton nttacks upon the shyness
of freshmen mid the unprovoked af
fronts with which they carried on their
malignant amusement, Nothing could
be moro like the conduct of devils, and
wbnt name could bo litter for them
than 'wreckers.' "
That sounds as if the Carthage soph
omore was fully as much endowed
with self Importance ns the American
sophomore. I may add that St. Augus
tine's criticism of "wrecking" is one
more ancient proof that "boys will be
boys." Philadelphia Ledger.
Labby's Long Walk.
Ill ''Bohemian Days In Fleet Street"
Is this Laboticliero incident, which hap
pened when ho was lu the diplomatic
scrvlco and was sent ou n mission to
St. Petersburg:
Before starting lie had u dispute with
the foreign olllco about bis expenses.
The foreign olllce hnd Its Idea of tho
scale; Lalmiicliero had bis. But the
office refused to reconsider its deci
sion. Lubouchcro took his leave, cross
ed the channel and was to nil nppenr
nnco lost. A week after tho appoint
ed time ho hnd not arrived at St.
Petersburg. A representative of the
foreign olllco was sent out on his
trail. Ho wus traced to Purls and from
thenco to Vienna, where ho was run
to earth. Iu reply to bis discoverer he
coolly said, "The foreign office refused
to pay me my expenses, and I'm walk
ing to St. Petersburg."
Precocity.
Little Willie Is really too precocious.
I met him the other tiny with his
school bng under bis arm.
"Well, well." said I. "and so you go
to school now, eh?"
"Sure, Mlkol" suld little Willie.
"Ain't I over six?"
"And do you love your toacher?" I
asked.
"Aber nit!" said little Willie. "The

"" MAULED BY A LION.
An Unexpected Attack and a Perilout
, - nd Exciting Mixup.
Captain C. B. Stigand was once
mauled by a Hon. and be recounts the
adventure In his "Hunting the Ele
phant Iu Africa." The captain had
shot a lioness, and while watching the
body from u tree he saw two Hons ap
proach. They stood over the lioness
and roared alternately for half an hour.
He succeeded in shooting them both,
but on approaching the body of his
second victim he found that It was not
ijulte so dead us It bud seemed. "I ap
proached the' edge, and immediately
the Inert mass assumed life and, with
a run i'. sprung on me with one bound.
The orderly, who was a 'few yards be
hind mi'. Immediately retired precipi
tately. As the lion sprang I fired into
ills chest, u nd he InndeU on me, bis
right paw over my left shoulder, and
lie seized my left arm In his teeth. As
my left arm was advanced In the firing
position. It wus the first thing he met
"The weight of his spring knocked
me down, and I next found myself ly
ing on my back, my left arm being
worried and my ride still In my left
hand miderncnth bis body. I scram
bled around with my left arm still in
his mouth until 1 was kneeling along
side of him and started pommeling him
with my right list on the back of the
neck. He gave me a final shake and
then quickly turned round and disap
peared In the grass a little nearer to
the stntlon thnu I was."
The nuthor adds that be was drench
ed with blood. aitU upon examination
he found eight big holes in his arm
nnd three claw marks on his back, a
damage that partially disabled biro for
two years. He remarks modestly that
since that adventure ho bas bagged
seven more Hons.
THE OLD TIME "YE."
It Was Simply an Abbreviation and
Was Always Pronounced "The."
How does It happen that In copying,
and rending ancient manuscripts we
call tho character our ancestors meant
for "the" by the ridiculous "ye?"
They said "the" Just as we do, and
the only apparent reason for mistaking
the character is that two centuries ago
the letter "h" wus usually written with
a tail below the line and with a razeed
top, which made It look like our "jr."
Then the word wus so frequently used
that It wns contracted, just as the
word "and" was then treated and con
tinues to be treated to this day by
inuuy of us.
When 1 was a boy. more thnu eighty
years ago, the alphabets In our school
books always ended with the "short
and." Wo enllcd It "ampersand" nnd
considered It a Hue snapper when we
rnttled. off the alphabet. .Sometimes
when sufficiently cultured we gave it
the full title "nnd-per-se-nnd."
Now, it Is likely that our "&" will
become obsolete. Just as "ye" bas be
come. Then our descendants of the
next century or two will be puzzled
perhaps, but 1 do not think they will
be so foolish ns to say "ampersand"
when rending our manuscripts and
coming to the little quirk we meant
for "nnd." Do let us drop saying "ye."
-Dial.
Not an Octet.
Cyril Maude, the English comedian,
was talking about cluss distinctions.
"They uru less marked with you than
with us." he said. "Here you all talk
alike the shopgirl's accent differs in
no wise from thut of a Stuyvesnnt ot
a Roosevelt. Hut with us the lowet
classes talk a disgraceful jargon.
"The 'h' especially. The lower class
es can never mnster that 'h.' In my
youth I once heard a stage manage!
rehearsing 'Faust' He had sprung
from the people, poor chap, and he
conducted the rehearsal like this:
""Old your 'anils on your 'lps, 'old
up your 'ends and look 'mighty. You're
not on 'Atnpsteud 'Entli, now you're
In 'Ades. Now, 'nsten off 'tirrledly,
with a look of 'ate.'
" 'Hut, sir,' snid I, 'there's only sir
of us.' "-Washington Stnr.
The Practical Side of Music.
-Ho was u lover of music who had
Just been to hear Puccini's "Madame
Butterfly," nnd be was expatiating
upon Its beauties to au unresponsive
friend whom he observed to yawn.
The music lover wus hurt. "Look
here, John," be protested, "don't you
think that music is of some practical
benefit in life?"
"Oh, yes," said the unresponsive one.
"Why. judging from the portraits 1
have seeu of eminent musicians, es
pecially plnnlsts. 1 should say that
music is great to keep the hair from
falling out." I.ailles' Home Journal.
