They were convicted by German witnesses in a German court for attempt- ing to capture Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the wealthy Philadelphia draft evader. , Bergdbll himself testified and told such a halting, contradictory story that even the German judge was incensed and warned the witness of the perils of the German law touching perjury. s Neuf was given 15 months in prison, and Zimmer called the court's leniency, but boasted that he was whom he would put ‘or five years. “where dogs won't bark at reece tf THE SEATTLE STAR It’s pretty hard to tell discon- ambition.

Lamont, one of the group of “Morgan financiers,” points to the uneven distribution of taxes. He says that, for 1917 incomes, only one and one-half per cent af the population paid taxes, The other 98% per cent dodged the tax, including the children, the poor, the nontaxabien, and those who should have but didn’t pay. Not evenly distributed, t it? But the distribution among the fortunate—or shall we my, the tax unfortunate—ia ati! more uneven About 9% per cent of this one and onehalf per cent, according to Lamont, paid 26% per cent of the total individual income taxes, while the balance—only two per cent-—paid 78% per cent of the taxes. Three ten-thousandths of the population paid almost threefourths of the income tax. kovernment. fault really lies inthe uneven distribution of income. ent from the one suggested by Lamont.

Again the pen has moved in Russia and no man, least of one who is not Russian, can forecast the result. Count Leo Tolstoy won the confidence of the Russian peasantry. He wore their smock, talked their language and was “one of them.” His religious doctrine of non- resistance to evil, wrapped as he shrewdly wrapped it, in Now comes Maxim Gorky. Gorky is a novelist. His ‘! word is respected in Russia. The peasants believe him. He has written “Reminiscences of Tolstoy,” with whom His tale bears the mark of truth. He declares in almost as many words that Tol- was an intellectual faker. He says almost bluntly that the Count had no faith in what he preached. What will the Russian peasant do? His faith in Russia —not the established government—but in Russia herself— has been sadly shaken by the revolution and revolt. What will come now when faith in the great Tolstoy is shaken, too? Turgeneiff's “Father and Sons” laid the groundwork for the first revolution. It was Andreyev’s “Red Laugh” that broke the backbone of the Russian army in the war with Japan. What will Gorky’s revelation of Tolstoy do in Russia? Try It Another Way HE lever was man’s first invention. He placed a tree trunk under a mammoth’s carcass and pried it up. Then one day there came a “genius” who dropped a rock on the end of a poised lever and thus was born the first machine delivering power. Look about you.

For untold years man has separated gold nuggets from .| sand by mixing both with water and then carefully shaking the inclosing vessel until the heavier gold sank to the bot- tom and the sand was carried away. ‘ Just this year a “genius” made the overwhelming “dis- covery” that if a mixture of sand and gold bits was left dry and shaken vertically, in about one-tenth the time it would take you to pan a wet sand and gold mixture, all the gold in the dry mixture would rise to the top of the sand. He’s applied for patent on his gold separator. Barring misfortune, he’ll be wealthy and they'll call him a “genius,” because he was the first man to do this thing backward.
