PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR TEMPTATION OF A BROTHER. Being the brother of a president of the United States should be rather nice, it would seem. Charles Taft always appeared to enjoy the distinc- tinction and there is no reason to be- lieve it cost him any money or forced him to resign any of his ambitions. That his was not a typical instance, however, is shown by the experience of Joseph Wilson, only brother of the present president. Joe Wilson, as he is known, is a newspaper man. Just at present he is city editor of the Nashville Banner and is pulling down a salary of $35 a week, It hasn’t been so very long since he was only getting $25 and even less. ’ After his brother was elected presi- dent a New York insurance company offered Joe a salary of $12,000 a year. Later a trust company offered him $2,000 a month. But Joe appreciated that they were in reality merely of- fering to buy the Wilson name, and so far as he was concerned that wasn’t for sale. He declined these offers with comparative ease, al- though declining a raise in salary from $35 to $500 a week would not be an easy matter with most people, especially when it really could be ac- complished with no sacrifice of honor. But there were other. offers that appealed desperately to Joseph Wil- son. For years he has had an am- bition to become a Washington cor- respondent. After his brother’s election to the presidency last fall letters began to rollin from the big papers of New York and other cities, offering him just that position. He did a little figuring, and found that by accepting all the offers, which he could do by syndicating his stuff, he would be insured the neat little income of $15,000 a year. But Joe, who is a full brother of our president in every sense, only figured it up as an idle moment pas- time. In another idle moment all the letters, declining all the offers. He knew that as a Washington political writer he would be regarded as re- flecting all the views of tle president, which most certainly would at some time or another embarrass his brother mightily. So he will content himself, for the present at least, with his $35 a week.—Joplin Globe. 819 School Children Geo. E.

WASHINGTON LETTER. — “ Special Washington Correspond- : ent of The Times. By Robert F. Wileon. Washington, D. C.—Declaring the belief that in casting his vote for an income tax, he was carrying out the desire not only of the Democrats of his district, but of 90 per cent of the rank and file of Republicans and Pro- gressives as well, Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner of Illinois made a speech on the floor of the House, on the in- come tax, which was given close at- tention by both Republicansand Dem- ocrats. Asa Washington newspaper cor- respondent, Tavenner has been advo- cating an income tax for years. Many of his articles on the subject have been sent broadcast over the country by the Democratic Congressional Committee. Tavenner’s speech was warmly applauded on the Democratic side. “When I went before the voters, in the campaign last fall,’’ said Tav- enner, “I made the declaration, re- peating it over and over, that should I be elected, I would make a con- scientions endeavor to ascertain how they desired me to vote on important legislation, and then vote that way, I made that declaration in every good faith. I desire no greater tribute when I shall conclude my service in this House, than that the people of my district may say of me: ‘He made a practice of ascertaining how the people of his district desired him to vote on even the simplest piece of legislation, and then voted that way.’ “In keeping with my pre-election promise, it is my intention to cast my vote, on behalf of the Fourteenth Il- linois district, for the income tax. I believe in sincerity, Mr. Chairman, that in doing so, I am carrying out the desires of not only the Democrats of my district, but of fully 90 per cent of the rank and file of Republi- cans of my district, and of the Pro- gressives, Socialists and Prohibition- ists. The income tax is a part of the pro- gram of this side of the House to re- duce the ever-increasing cost of liv- ing in this country. The program, and it is being carried out, is to take some of the tax off of such articles as woolens, cottons, sugar, meat and lumber, and then to make up for the loss of this revenue to the govern- ment by levying a tax on the income of the wealthy. Strange to say, up to this moment wealth has not been taxed to the extent of a single penny to defray the expenses of the nation- al government. This is almost un- believable, but it is absolutely true, and will not be denied on this floor or elsewhere. “Mt is true that wealth is taxed for the benefit of cities, counties and states, but revenue for building bat- tleships, maintaining the army and navy, and running the national gov- Memorial Day.

Out of twen- ty eight starters, only nine came} home with an absolutety clean score and one of these was a Buick, the only American car entered. The test was backed by the news- paper L’Auto, to establish whether or not a light car with a chassis not to exceed $1,600 could make a com- plete circle around France, taking in the Alps and the Pyrenees, with no more than ten minutes each morn- ing for oiling and adjustments. The competion called for an average of 19 miles an hour on each daily run. Allthe essential parts of the cars were permanently sealed, and the toe boards, underpan, bonnet and radiator filler cap had seals which gins torun down without apparent cause, becomes weak, languid, de- pressed, the following property: At J.

When a healthy man or woman be- suffers backache, dizzy spells and urinary disorders, weak kidneys may be the cause. Theslight- est sympton of kidney tronble is too serious to neglect. Doan’s Kidney Pills have earned-their fame-by-their- effectiveness in strengthening the kidneys and keeping them well. Here is Butler testimony to prove their worth. Mrs. W. H. Hupp, 107 Broadway, Butler, Mo., says: ‘‘I had severe at- tacks of backache and was also both- ered by pains over my kidneys, which made me weak and tired. About a year ago 1 heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and getting a box at) Clay’s Drug Store, I began using them. They brought me prompt re- lief. Since then whenever I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills they have benefited me.”’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, sole agents for the United States.

In the East End, however, the tables turned, and the enumerator found a decrease of even more than the increase on the “| the things eaten, worn ernment is obtained solely by taxing and used by the people. Since the poor eat as much as the rich, and wear clothing on which the tariff tax is higher than on the qualities worn by the rich, it is obvious that the poor contribute as much toward bearing the burden of national taxation as do the rich, Un- der the present fiscal system of the Unitee States, nearly everything is taxes save wealth.
