TEDOY FAVORS INCOME TAX.
NEW YORK, July 15? The Outlook
issued today has an article by Theo
dore Roosovelt entitled, "(jive Me
Neither Poverty Nor Riches." It
soys, in part:
"It is to he wished that some of
those who preach and practice a gos
pel ot mere materialism and greed
and who speak as if the heapiug
up of wealth by the community or by
the individual was in itself the be
all and end-all of life, would learn
from the most widely read and oldest
of books that true wisdom which
leaches that it is well to have ueither
great poverty nor greut riches. The
movement has become so strong dur
ing the last few years to secure ou
behalf of the Nation, both an ade
quate supervision of and an effective
taxation of vast fortunes, so far as
their business use is concerned, is a
healthy movement. It aims to re
place sullen discontent, restless pes
simism and evil preparation for revo
lution, by a healthy determination to
get to the bottom of our troubles and
remedy them.
"The multi-millionaire is not per se
a healthy development in this country
If his fortune rests on a basis of
wrong doing, he is a far more dan
gerous criminal than the ordinary
types of criminals can possibly be.
li his fortune is the result of thej
great service rendered, well and good
he deserves re?pect and reward for
such service ? although we must re
member to pay out homage to the
service itself and not to the fortune
which is the mere reward of the ser
vice ? but when his fortune is passed
on to someone else, who has render
ed the service, then the Nation shoul
impose a heavily graded progressive
inheritance tax. a singularly wise and
unobjectionable kind of tax. It shoul
bi a particularly good if the tax bore
heaviest on the absentees."
A HOT DAY
Do you recall. dear Ebenezer. that
w' nler day, some months ago? It wr$
a large, three cornered freezer. Its
whiskers full of ice and snow. You
stood around, my friend, and quoted
some four hundred lines, from pagan
prophets, and delivered some thought
that smelled of sulphur mines. You
said, with lips that froze together,
that winter was a howling fake; you
only wanted summer weather, so you
could sit in peace, and bake. And
now, the heat waves fairly sizzle;
th efat old sun is on the job; you say
that summer is a fizzle, and you
Just pump up tears and sob. The
weather Is Dame Natures' teaser;
with it she often runs amuck; and
we're all like sweet Ebenezer ? we
don't know when we are in luck. If
skies are blue, we are complaining,
and when its hot we scream and
scold; we raise a riot when its rain
ing, and mutiny when it is cold. If
all the Seraphim together planned
out a climate that would please, we'd
roar about the beastly weather, and
want a chance to roast or freeze. ?
Walt Mason.
Take therefore no thought for the]
morrow; for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Suf
ficient unto the day is the evil there- 1
of? Matthew, Chapter 6?34.
Alaska needs home rule.
THE ROSE AND THE LEAF.
Flovs were what the roae Is and I war*
like the leaf.
Our lives would grow together
In sad or staging weather.
Blown fields or flowerfui closes, green
pleasures or gray grief.
It love were what the roee is and I were
ilk* the leaf.

THE OLD TOWN.
Back In the town where rou were born
Some forty yearn ago
Life run:) on as It used to run
In peaceful, quiet How.
Your heart warms kindly to the place I
You lived when years were few.
But you're In luck If any there
Have ever heard of you.
The fellows that you used to know
Have mostly gone away.
Bill Jones Is dead. SI Hicks Is locked
In prison, so they say.
The Lockhart boys have gono out west.
Old Burns has quit the place.
When on a visit hardly can
You see a friendly face.
The girls, those pretty little dears
That often broke your heart.
Grown daughters have and sons perhaps.
It gives you quite a start.
Those sylph-like forms you so admired
Have wider, stouter grown
Till, had you captured one of them.
You'd hate to hold your own.
And If you meet an ancient who
Kemenibers you perchance
'Twill be some boyhood meanness or
Disgraceful circumstance.
Go back and see the ancient town.
Just look the village through.
But. let me warn you In advance.
About one look will do.
Hatpinless.
"Maud is such a sweet girl."
"She Is a rose without a thorn."
"How does she keep her hat on?"
Modem Opportunity.
There Is still a chance for a young !
man to be a hero. .Mankind is about
to declare war on the lly tribe, and I
th?re should be a medal for the one
who brings in the largest number of J
fly scalps in the tirst thirty days.
The fly doesn't wash his feet before
coming to the table, and he has them |
loaded up with disease germs which
he Is pleased to communicate to any
member of the family without special
charge.
This is a war in which the suffra
gette can take part and put to con
fusion those who when she timidly
requests the ballot coldly ask her who
does the fighting.
It is going to be a hard summer for
flies, .Smi if they have any sense at
all they will at once begin writing
their wills.
Couldn't Budge It.
It blew and blew great guns, great Scott,
Till really. I declare.
It blew away the house and lot.
But left the mortgage there!
Easy to Follow.
"Your first trip to Europe?"
"Yes: give me a few pointers."
"Well, never tip the waiter unless
you have to."
"When do 1 have to?"
"Every (line he turns round."
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
Probably if women wero not so In
quisitive men would not bo so de
ceptive.
The fellow who thinks he can make
good by doing evil sooner or later has
another think coming.
It may be better to have only one
idea than none, but the man who has
none Is the most comfortable to have
about.
When we overlook a good oppor
tunity it gets back at us by doing the
disappearing act.
Being Rood Is an accident with some
people, an incident with others and n
surprising mistake with a few.
A woman curling her hair is about
as engaging and courteous as a man
hartnx his face.
Going to the devil seems to be a
popular outing, but we very seldom
hear a report from returned excursion
ists.
The Interest on the mortgage may
not be very handsome, but it certainly
Is Industrious.
Telling your troubles is often merely
sowing the seed for a brand new crop.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in tho body passes
through tho kidneys once every thro
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work iiigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
Ur is left ia the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
bearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in tho urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: '"It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acuto attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
I had the most severe pains across
tho 6mall of "ny back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills holped mo at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions." ? .
