Opinions of the
Observer
Until quite recently William G.
McAdoo has been regarded as the
head of the Democratic Party and
even now he represents a consider­
able sized tail. The condition re­
minds us of a correspondent’s let­
ter to a country journal back in
old “ Varmount.”
He said that
Harvey Jones shot a gray squirrel
that measured
18 inches from
the tip of the nose to the in­
sertion of the tail, but he .forgot
to state that the tail is the most
important part of a gray squirrel.
A Crying Evil.
It is to be feared Congress will
be so busy with taxation and the
bonus and trrnsportation questions
that it will be unable to attend to
a problem that is crying for solù-
tion : That of Tax-exempt secur­
ities.
Tax-exempt securities, as most
everyone now understands, work to
send millions of dollars into idle­
ness that ought to be flowing in
thermore, they encourage extrava­
gance on the part of the states and
municipalities that are intrigued
with the ease with which they can
sell bond issues. Ultimately they
will be prohibited and with the
prohibition will come a condemna­
tion that will make men wonder
that they ever were permitted.—
Joplin News-Herald.
It is well to add that the income
from money invested in tax exempt
securities escapes all forms of taxa­
tion, thus adding greatly, to the
tax burdens of others.— Industrial
News Bureau.
Ask your candidate for senator
or member of congress if he has
fought or will fight to do away
with tax exempt securities.

Poisonous Snakes A re
Pets of Zoo Keeper
At Port Elizabeth, South Africa, at
tached to the natural history museum
and aviary, is a large “ snake garden,”
where poisonous reptiles live in per­
fect freedom, among their natural sur­
roundings, says the New York World.
The garden Is, of course, cut off from
the rest of the world by a concrete
wall.
Its keeper Is a negro who has
worked In the snake garden from the
days of his childhood and has actual­
ly succeeded in building up a real
friendship with his charges. Protect­
ed only by gauntlet gloves and leather j
puttees, with his other clothing mere-1
ly the regulation uniform of the mu-
seam, he fearlessly enters the in­
closure and freely handles his pets.
When one considers that the major-1
lty of the snakes in the garden are of
the most deadly varieties—the African
cobra, the puff-adder and the fer-de-
lance among others—one would think j
twice before offering to swap jobs j
with the keeper of the reptile house.
Poisonous snakes are popularly be­
lieved to be untamable, but -the negro j
keeper at Port Elizabeth seems to j
prove that, If not actually affectionate,!
they can be persuaded by kindness to!
tolerate human companionship.
The snakes in the Port Elizabeth
garden are not used for display pur - 1
poses only. Their venom, extracted,

New Fields for Railways
A great enterprise of the early fu­
ture will be building railways in South
America, Asia and Africa. In each of
those continents are now vast areas
of rich land that can be exploited only
when the railways come.
In the
United States there are on the average
83 miles of railway to every 1,000
square miles. In Europe there are
only 62 miles of railway to every 1,000
square miles, in South America only
seven, in Asia only four, and in Africa
only three.—Youth's Companion.
