The most ludicrous campaign — sign hat came to lizht here was this “Vote for Park Trammell, thé FRIEND of Key West.” A skeleton 2;000 years old was found “with the legs wrapped around the neck. “We didn’t know they had upper berths in ‘those days.

This would cut the cigaret tax from 6 cents for a package of 20 to 3.6 cents. The manu- facturers say they would pass the 2.4 sav-| ing along to the consumers. They would probably go farthér, and could afford to do co, because of the increased demend there would be., Cigafs, pipe tobacco and | snuff would all drop aecordingly. It ‘would be @ mistake to lower ‘the | tax if it would diminish the return to thej . government. Uncle Sam needs the $60,- 000,000 or $70,000,000 a year that this re- duction would save the makers and ‘users; and ‘a levy on tobacco is about as painless as any tax-can be expected to be. Yet if ‘the lower rate would bring a higher gov- ernment income, from greatly inereased volume, there would be a double argument for it—from people and government both. It is hard to tell where the point of diminishing returns wotld be. Also hard to gauge the tolerance of the American people for nicotine. Possibly there should be a temperance campaign here, too, for the special benefit of young people. A NOBLE REQUEST Another fine example of the growing tendency toward benevolence on the part | of wealthy. men is seen in the Will of the late S. Davies Warfield, president of the Seaboard Air Line Railway and official in numerous other large enterprises. Mr. Warfield left his residuary estate, lion dollars, for the founding of a home for It will be located Md., and will be called “Anna Emory War- | Begining as a clerk, Mr. Warfield banking world. He was one of the leaders inthe amazing development which has taken place in the South during the last two decades. His high character and human- itarian impulses may be judged by the ‘| noblé bequest he made for the care of un- fortunate aged women. The home which his benefieence will establish: will stand as a _monument to his useful life and as a memorial to the de- voted mother who gave him birth. EXECUTIONER OF 54 Death came peacefully in sleep to William: C. Patterson, “the world’s oldest hatigman and first electrocutioner,” at his home in Hornell, N. Y., at the age of 84. Mr. Patterson was hangman at Auburn prison, New York, for years be- fore the electric chair was substituted for the rope, and during his long service as executioner had put 54 convicted criminals to death. These included Kemmler, the wife- slayer, the first man to meet death in the electric chair; Mary Farmer, first woman to be so executed ; Leon Czlogosz, assassin of President McKinley, and others. whose crimes attracted world-wide attention. Shortly before his death, when asked whether he believed he had ever executed an innocent person, Mr. Patterson said: “It is a good rule of life to mind your own busi- ness. I was not employéd at Auburn as a judge.” His was a grim record, but he seems to have taken his job philosophically, and from the ripe age he attained it appears that if he was ever haunted by mémories of ; his vietims his days were not materially shortened thereby, The dime novel still has a great vogue, but it now: costs $2, Tt must be a frreat comfort to a woman ma to feel that her beautician is infallible. = | | i the | Asked who wrote the Book of Num- bers, a Bible élass student suggested telephone people.
