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

He said that
Harvey Jones shot a gray squirrel
that measured
18 inches from
the tip of the nose to the in

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

friendship with his charges. Protect

puttees, with his other clothing mere-1

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

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.
