DARNALL, Former Editor of The Koy West Citizen For some unexplained. reasop Miss Mary Wicholman of Cincinnati, who has not yet completed her business course, and who has never heid a job, was selected as the nation’s “ideal secretary’? by the Alpha Jota business sorority. Perhaps it was de- cided that, no, young woman <>uld remain ideal after working for a pestiferous boss. Some may. consider it a compliment, but others may th’ .k it a mean trick that the North Dakota house of representatives elected Mrs. Mina D. Craig as speaker. The latter idea being based on the fact that Mrs. Craig is 2 woman, and that under parliamentary rules the speaker is not per- mitted to speak much. We recently saw a news photograph of an, Americau family with 34 living chil- dren. But this impressive record is rel- atively modest when compared with that of Fedor. Vassilet, + Russian peasant who died in 1872 at the age of 75. Vassilet was the father of 87 children, .. whom one wife was. the mother of ©, including four sets of quadruplets, seven sets of triplets and 16 pairs of twins, Among the many recent newspaper consolidations that of the Advertiser and the Tribune of Tiffin, O., is i:teresting be- cause of the great age of both papers. The Advertiser celebrated its i00th anniver- sary last year end the Tribune is 87 years old.

Sp when a fourth accosted her she permitted him to walk under her umbrella until they met a palive- man, when she turned him over to the limb of the law. A Chicago on has decided that one may laugh or cry according to his emotions during a movie performance, te: | gardless of the nature of the show being witnessed. Tom Millon, arrested for laugh- ing heartily during a sad scene, was not only acquitted but allowed $300 damages against the show manager. THE SALES TAX The announced oppocition of Presi dent-elect Roosevelt to tne enactment of a; sales tux foi the purpose of vaising revenue has aroused both - commendation largely depended on whose ox was threat- ened with being gored. A sales tax could easily be collected. It could be levied in such an amount that it would provide absolutely certain of the government. It would solve tne probiom of governmental finance. President-elect Roosevelt would fina { that such a tux would immediately remove many of the difficult problems that face his approaching administration. Yet he has expressed disapproval of such a tax. He must have reasons that seem im- portant to him for refusing to take the course of least resistance. Let us examine into some of these possible reasons. A sales tax would be the direct op- posite of the income tax. The sales tax wonld be collected at the bottom of con- ducted business. The income tax is col- lected at the ton. The sales tax would be collceted from vi:e buyers and would add to buying costs. The income tax is collected from the profits. While those who reap the profits try to pass along the taxes they eventually pay, it is never quite, possible to figure cor- rectly. Then again, there is always com- petition from those who are willing to pay back a portion of their incomes in order to. secure business from their competitors. The sales tax would be paid by che great mass of the people. It would fall on rich and Roor alike. TRIBUTE 1 TO FOSTER Another tribute has heen paid by the people of the south to Stephen C. Foster, composer of southern folk songs, by the erection of a monument to his memory in the form of a large boulder bearing this in- scription: “Erected to the memory of Stephen Collins. Foster at the source ot the stream which he immortalized in song, Suwanee River.” Foster wrote about 125 songs, among which were “Old Folks at Home,” “Old Black Joe,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Massa’s in the Cold Cold Ground,” “Come Where My Love Lies -Rreaming,” ‘Nelly Was a Lady,” and others which have been sung the world over. Aithough most-of his best songs were of the south, Foster was born near Pitts- burgh and lived in the north all his life, never going farther south than Kentucky, except for one trip to New Orleans: He was born in 1826 and died in 1864. He wrote both words and music of his songs, which perhaps accounts for the perfect blending of their poetry and melocy. While he could not be called a great composer from a strictly musical standpoint, his peculiar talent was recog- nized by poets and musicians of note, and his songs have a human appeal which is irresistible. America has produced no singer than peri Collins Foster. sweeter FRIENDLY ADVERTISING IMustrating the present trend of good will advertising, a plan adopted by a rail- road in the south is interesting, — Recognizing the important funetion of 2 local station agent, through whom most patrons of the road haye their only contact with the management and its poli- i cies, the new advertising seeks to bring the agent in closer touch with his community. This is done in a quarter-page space | for the purpose of balancing the »udget; and! and | afternoon. i sufficient revenues to meet the expenses oP jflags and Japanese i | guilty to others.
