Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., June 20 ! 907. A Tax on Inheritance. President Roosevelt announces liis opinion that both the income tax and the inheritance tax should be a part of our system of federal taxation, but in view of the legal difficulties in the way of the income tax, as revealed in the supreme court's decision of several years asyo. and the admitted difficulty of the equitable application of such a principle of taxation.the president be lieves the inheritance tax idea to be much more feasible. There is much to be said in behalf of an inheritance tax that could not be urged with great force in support of the income tax proposition. For one thing, the income tax is open to the charge of being a tax on enterprise. Furthermore it is in most instances a double tax, for the real or personal property from which the average in come is derived is already subject to direct taxation for State and municip al purposes. An inheritance tax imposes no burd en on the one whose enterprise aud ability have contributed to the amass ing of a fortune but simply requires that those who come into the unearn ed possession of the accumulations of another shall devote a share of their inheritance to the interests of the gov ernment under whose beneficent ad ministration the accumulations of their benefactor were made possible. As the president points out, the iu heritaucetax principle has been adopt ted in the leading civilized nations of the world, sucli as Great Brittaiu, France and Germany. In Pennsyl vania we collect an inheritance tax for the use of the State government, and it has beeu found to involve no hard ships. The president's advocacy of the in heritance tax is likely to be popular, at any rate, and it is probably much nearer the state of actual accomplish ment than the income tax idea. Roosevelt and the Press. Crosby S. Noyes, of the' Washington Star, in his address before the Nation al Editorial association at Jamestown last week, discussed journalism in an entertaining manner. He spoke truly when he said that the reason Captain John Smith never experienced the glory now enjoyed by President Roose velt was because there were no news papers then to exploit his deeds or make his name a household word. That the newspapers have done this for the president there is no doubt, says the York Dispatch. Mr. Noyes also says the president is in hearty sympathy with clean journalism and healthy criticism, except when the criticism points out flaws in his officil al acts. "Newspapers will not be unduly elated if he pats them on the back nor will their equanimity be disturb ed if he gives them the cold should er," says Mr. Noyes, "for presidents oome and presidents go but the press, like Tennyson's brook, goes on for ever." In bringing the president in to the discussion Mr. Noyes has done well. No better example of what the newspapers have done for a man, aud can do for others, can be given. While the president "made" himself they exploited him, and will continue to criticise him when his acts do not seem just. Throughout his address Mr. Noyes exhibited a breadth of understanding, a thorough appreciation of the great influence which sane journalist has on the people of the country. His re ference to th<- "yellow journals." "the penny dreadfuls" that smear their pages with details of murder and other atrocities, going so far as to in cite labor togo out and kill some one, exactly hit the mark. It will teach the public that there is no more sympathy between the sane aud dignified newspaper and the yel low sheets thau there is between a thoroughbred horse and a flea-bitten mule. Ran Wild in the Wheat. A wanderiug baud of gypsies arriv ed near Sunbury Tuesday evening aud pitched their camp in an abandoned gravel pit beside the tracks of the Sunbury division between South Dan ville and Sunbury. They at once began to ply their trade of fortune telling aud begging from door to door, anrt continued on their illegal way unmolested until they turned their horses into a wheat field on Mr. S. P. Wolverton's farm. There were seven horses in all, and their iean sides showed plainly that fasting rather than feasting was their ordin ary lot. They soon made heavy inroads on the wheat. The farmer, Mr. J. F. Reiohenbach protested, but the fierce aspect of the Italian vagrants in trenched in the gravel pit warned him to beat a hasty retreat. Yesterday morning the police raided the van and arrested Pedro, Frank and Costat Demetrio, with their wives, Pariskivo, Anna and Lizzie, respec tively. They were given a hearing be fore Squire Shipman at Sunbury. The case was dismissed when they paid the costs aud promised to leave {own im mediately. A 3-year-old daughter of William Christian, of Allentown. fell from a second story window on Monday night and sustained injuries that will prove j fatal. The announcement that Secretary , Taft lost twelve pounds by reason of j his recent severe spell of sickness will ! in no way distress his friends. THE BIG ONES MY JOT APPEAR HARRISBURG, June 19. Counsel for John H. Sanderson, the chief capitol "trimmer," and for Jo seph M. Huston, the half-million dol lar architect, have declined to acoept service of summons for the two men to guarantee their appearance before the capitol investigation commission. No reason has been given for the re fusal of the lawyers to accept servioe for their clients; all that is known is that James Scarlet attorney for the commission, went to Philadelphia Monday to ascertain if counsel for the "trimmer" and the architect would represent the men if desired. PENNYPACKER AS WITNESS Ex-Governor Samuel Whitaker Peuuypacker, sole surviving champion of the "richness of resign" and "high art" of the State's $13,000,000 palace of graft, will be the star attraction before the commission this week. Ow ing to the desire of the commission to maintain the dignity of the investiga tion, the exact time of the governor's visit is being kept secret. However, Senator John S. Fisher, chairman, vehemently denied last night that it was intended to hold a snap session in the dead of night to hear what Mr. Peuuypacker has to say in self-defense. APPARENT DUPLICATION. What appears to have been a duplica tion of work was discovered by the expert auditors todav in the examina tion of accounts relating to the "trim ming" of the lobby of the senate and house of representatives. George F. Payne & Co., builders of the capitol, had the contract for painting and dec orating the halls, the there is nothing to indicate that they were released from this obligation. Nevertheless, Sanderson managed to get a contract for painting and decorating those halls, submitting an invoice for $137,• 713.01 for the work, and as usual, in his case, collecting the money. Sand erson "soaked" the State $87,711.17 for the bath of blue and gold paint to which he subjected the hall of the" house of representatives, and he col lected $50,201.84 for the treatment given to the senate hall. MORE ENORMOUS PROFITS. For all the work in the two halls, Sanderson's bills aggregated $751,741.- 60 and It is estimated that the money represented profits ranging from 300 to 1,000 per cent The four massive chandeliers which hang in the house of representatives cost the State only $50,000 each, or $200,000 for the four. Tiie things weigh 7.500 pounds each. The next largest item in the house trimmings was the cost of desks, for which Sanderson collected $61,000 and paid $16,000. He was also paid nearly $35,000 for the chairs in this chamber. The total cost of the trimmings of the senate chamber was $245,079.85. For the senate lighting fixtures Sanderson was paid $133,661.53. For fifty-two desks in this chamber he collected $15,433.20, and paid the sub-contractor a little more than $3,000. For the chairs lie collected $21,453 70, and for six sofas he was paid $15,609. Demonstrations Scarce This 4th. Although "The Glorious Fourth" is but two weeks distant, not a single flaming poster can be found displayed in this town to announce where the eagle is going to loudly scream on In dependence Day, and extending an iu vitatiou to young and old to particip ate in the festivities. The ones who always make it a point to help swell the crowds of the Fourth of July where big demonstrations are being held, just now do not know where togo on the nation's birthday to realize the usual pleasure of enjoy ing a big time. Not one of the nearby towns, thus far, have made any effort for a large demonstration. In this town the Con tinental laddies will be the hosts at DeWitt's park,and taking into consid eration the lack of any other amuse ment the crowd at the resort on that day will likely be a record breaker. There will also be a ball game at the park on the Fourth. Stole Eighty Spring Chickens. One of the biggest chicken thefts that has been heard of in these parts was perpetrated last week on Bloom road, when eighty chickens,a quantity of wheat and oats were stolen from one farm house. The robbery occurred at the farm of William Fern, who lives a short dis tance beyond Ridgeville. The chickens taken were all young ones,and includ ed in the loot which was gotten away with were 5 bushels of oats and four bushels of corn. Mr. Fern did not discover his loss until he rose on the morning after. The thieves left no clues behind. Married at Bloomsburg. E. 1. VanDoran, of Philadelphia, and Miss Jennie W. Barclay,of Blooms burg, will he married this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Emma A. Barclay, Mar ket street, Bloomsburg. The groom was the representative of the Rumsey Electrical company during the instal lation of the borough electric light plant. Boys Shot Baby. While a 10-month-old child of Patrol man Thomas Elliott,of MahanoyCity, was learning to walk on the lawn on Monday afternoon, it was shot through the right arm and in the breast by a bullet from a Flobert rifle with which some boys were shooting at sparrows. The child is not expected to reoover. John Magill left Tuesday for a trip to New York and Poughkeepsie. Evidence of Progress. The strange condition of affairs was . perhaps never more fully demonstrat- I ed than it is today. When the eleotrio ' railroads were first introduced, the motive power of which dispensed with all horses for propelling street oars, 112 the pessimist held up his hands in holy horror and declared that that was the " end of the equine race. That particular ' innovation fakiled to produce any dif -1 ference in either the demand or supply ' of horses for general utility purposes. Then came the bicycle, and most as suredly the balance of horses for driv ) ing purposes would be relegated to the i rear, according to the theorists. And i yet the price of a good horse failed to i ' decline. ! j Next comes the automobile,and now : I j for a certain fact there was no furth- ; er use for a singie'horse in a publio ! thoroughfare, because everybody will | be traveling either by trolley, bicycle :or automobiie. In addition a large j part of the farmers' work is today 1 done bv electricity or steam which in ' years gone by required the use of horses. j On top of all these past predictions ; and theories,the price of horses on the market today is higher than it has | been for twenty ye\ars. Consequently j all the new inventions have no de ! pressing effect on the farmer or raiser of horse stock. Twenty years ago a horse that is selling today for from $l5O to S2OO, could have been bought for from $35 to $75. One thing sure,there is at this time : raised, all over the country, a far sup erior stock of horses to what was the case a quarter of a century ago, and the raising of blooded stock requires : more care and more expense than may ! have been necessary in years gone by. Also, the average farmer wants better i stock on his premises, as well as when ! he hitches his team to the carriage to ! drive to town, to church or to visit ; his friends and neighbors. Pull Ip .lust a Bit. j Mr Married Man, did you ever give ! a thought to what might happen when j yon died? Did you ever spend much thought -Lupon the fact that you were going to die? Did you ever realize that your wife i would cease to be your wife and be come a widow? Did you comprehend that your chil dren would no longer be your children but would be known a.- youi orphans? | If you did grasp these facts, which | many men try to dodge, did you ever ! cartv your speculation a little furth er, thus wise : "Will my widow wear as good : clothes as my wife?" "Where will the bread come from when the breadwinner passes away?" ; "Will my orphans have the advant ages of my children?" I It is rather a grim subject—this idea 'of death. Not dinner table conversa tion at all. It's a pleasant thing to forget. Many men do successfully j dodge the subject all their lives. But j there is no dodging death itself. it | never forgets It never skips Rich t ! or poor—mighty or lowly—no matter. It's a fine thiug to live. It makes a married man proud to have a home, to dress his wife, to give his children educational advantages and to keep his family in the tront rank. It takes money, yes—but it's fine for the chil dren, delightful for the wife, satisfy ing to the man. But— When you've run your length, Mr. Married Man, what then? Some day your friends will lay a lily on your chest, heap the praise, the reverence, the kindly tributes that should have been yours through life, upon what is left of you. lay you away, and proceed to forget you. There i* no time to decide this but now. Prune a few luxuries. Start a bank account. Save! Leave an in come ! If you left your wife while alive the law would put yon in jail. Death re _ lieves you of the law but not of res- I ponsibility. Then again, Mr. Man, "vour saving t may not be merely for your widow or your orphans. It may be yourself. There are such things as paralysis, blindness, insanity.

Lincoln No. 2 ill <. «> By GRANT LESTER. • • i • ~ Copyright, 19u7, by Mnry McKeon. < > ♦ "1 l"l I I For a good many years people had said that Farmer Johnson's wife was j head of his house and that he was a great incumbrance to her. They had a farm just outside a thriving town, and 1 had it been left to the wife there were many promising speculations she would have entered into. She was allowed to boss things around the farm, but .when it came to outside matters the hus band would take no risks. When his death finally took place, people looked to see Aunt Hetty, as she was called, though only forty years old, carry out some of her ideas and make things hum. They were not disappointed. She went into strawberries and made money; she went Into the dairy bus! ness and made money; she went into poultry and made money. It was said that there were not half a dozen men : in the county who had her business sense. Aunt Betty had 11 daughter nineteen years old, by name l'rue. l'rue did not run to business. She was simply a sweet tempered and lovable girl, who attended school ir. town in the winter and helped about the housework in summer, I'p to the time of the fa ther's death tin- mother had not "suf fered aspirations" regarding Fine's fu ture. It was tacitly understood that she would marry some young farmer and settle down to the humdrum life. But after the mother had become a business woman 'here were other plans for the girl. Shi- was to lie educated in music and otier arts and made a lady of. Just how l'rue Johnson and Darius Livingstone first met is of 110 great consequence. Hi was twer.ty-two and had graduated as a lawyer and settled in the town. Ie was a slab sided young man, tall and angular and un gainly There were a few people who said that he might know more than li.' showed, but the majority were of the opinion that lie didn't know whether potatoes grew in the ground or on trees, if l'rue held with the majority, It was rather singular that the young lawyer should have come driving out to the farm one June day to inquire for her. She was upstairs at the time, and it was her mother who re ceived him. At the first glance she thought him the homeliest young man she had ever seen. After the second she took him for some peddler of mu sic and went upstairs and said to l'rue: "There's a bean pole down stairs ask ing for you. 1 nevet'suw such a gawk. He says his name is Livingstone. He's enough to scare a setting hen off tlio nest. Idd you ever hear of any such feller?" "Why, ma, he's a lawyer In town, and we have met three or four times," replied l'rue as her face flushed scar let. "A lawyer- liumph! If you was to put a club in his hand he wouldn't know enough to pound sand. What's he here for?" "Why -why, be said he might call some day.l don't see why you cull him homely. I've heard lots of folks say that he reminded them of Abraham Lincoln." The mother sniffed her contempt and turned away. l'rue went down and re ceived her caller, and. though Mrs. Johnson was rather busy around the house and yard, she saw and heard enough to satisfy her that the young man was "interested." He remained for an hour or so and then left, and while his back was yet in sight l'rue was properly warned. "I Klia!! have to have a son-in-law some day," added the mother, "but I want one whose looks won't sour all the milk and who knows a cabbage head from an old gander. Lawyer! Lawyer! Why, the poorest lawyer we've got i:i town would make you' young man look like a bobtalled wood chuck if they had a case in court." l'rue ran away without talking back, and things quieted down for a week. Then the mother came home from town one afternoon to blurt out: "Do you know what I heard this aft ernoon? At least half a dozen people told me that you and that scarecrow young lawyer were in love." "Oh, mamma!" "You needn't 'Oh, mamma!' me. If you've fallen in love with any such man, I'm ashamed of you. Why, that red headed, cross eyed Sue Williams wouldn't look at him." "We are not in love." stoutly pro tested l'rue. "Then what are you looking so red for?" "Because—because we are simply friends. That Is, he's awfully smart when you come to talk with him. I've been reading the life of Lincoln, and ifs wonderful haw much alike they are." "Wonderful bosh! Abe Lincoln was smarter'n a whip as a lawyer." "But Darius is going to be If he ever gets a case." "Ever gets a case! I'd like to know who'd trust him with a easel" The young man called again In about a week, ostensibly to make Inquiries concerning the strawberry pest, and, while Mrs. Johnson didn't order him off the farm, she gave him what she called a chilling reception. The fact that he didn't seem at all put out ug gravated her, and but for a business engagement taking up her attention she would have had much to say to l'rue. Four days later she came Into the house to say: "Well, when I dreamed of black hogs one night last week I knew that trou ble would come. I've got a lawsuit on hand. It seetns that those three cows 1 bought over in Delevan last week had a chattel mortgage 011 tliem. The holder of it wants *'.>o from me. I must either pay or be sued. I told him to sue as soon as lie pleased, and he'll probably summon me tomorrow." "And you'll have to hate a lawyer?" itsked l'rue. "Of course. I'm going to drive Into town to see Lawyer I'arsons." "Hut why not give Mr. Livingstone the case?" 'True Johnson, do you take me foi* an idiot!" exclaimed the mother in astonishment. "Do you think I want to lose S9O and costs, besides $lO more fur s\ lawyer? Folks around here ,niliir I'm a pretty smart woman, and I don . I want to be made a laughingstock of That bean pole of a young man would not know enough to cross examine an old cow." Lawyer Parsons, who was the lead ing member of the bar the town, was retained, and the expected sum mons was served next day. A week later the suit came on. During the in terval young Livingstone drove out to the Johnson farm. Miss True had gone t«i town to do some shopping, and the mother was blunt and brusque The budding attorney almost off ere 1 his services in the coming suit, and tli • 1 look lie received in reply lingered wit 1 him for oianv hours. When l'rue get I home she was told that there had gov to be a stop to this sort of thing, but 1 when she burst into tears and sai'l she could not help it her mother win reasonable enough to reply that may!'.' she could not. The girl went to town with the motl. er on the day of the suit. In the court | room :i shock of surpi>-e awaited her. i liarlus Livingstone appealed ascouns, I for the complainant. Yes, he was ther ■ in all liis dignity, and ho didn't seer,, a bit frightened that it was his firs: j case and that he was matched again*: one of the oldest and smartest lawyer in the county. He nodded to True and would have done the same to her motl: er liad she not just, then been engage . in whispering to her daughter: "l'rue Johnson, look over there! A true as you live your bean pole of m young man Is going to take the case against me! That's another specimen of his cheek. You wait, however. When Parsons gets through with him there'll be only a grease spot left." Surprise after surprise was the order of the day. The plaintiff really had a chattel mortgage 011 the cows. They had been driven away and sold. In buying tliem Mrs. Johnson had taken the seller's work. Her lawyer argued that this was customary, but "bean pole" brought in six witnesses to prove to the contrary. Mrs. Johnson was made to admit that she was a business woman and tliat she had never bought even a chicken without being guaran teed. A dozen errors were made In her case, and before it was concluded Mr. Parsons was made to look extreme ly foolish. Tile .in: gave a verdict for the plaintiff, and i .ae shed tears be neath her veil a . I realized that she would see 110 more of Lincoln No. 2. She was in despair when Uer mother walked up to t!ie young attorney and held out her hand, saying: "Sir. I am a blunt and plain spoken woman. You are lop shouldered and slab sided. You are as homely as a hedgehog in March, but you are a talk er and art- certain to make a good law yer. If 1 ever have a son-in-law i hope he'll be one of the profession. No, don't make any excuses. You had a right to take the other side, and 1 hold no grudge against you. If you want to know how good cheese Is made come out to the farm." Mr. Livingstone did want to know lie bail always been curious about it. lie took early advantage of her offer, ami at last reports lie and Miss l'rue had decided togo south oil their wed ding tour. His Future Assured. The telephone rang in a certain broker's office one morning this week, and the broker himself answered. "Yes." said he,"this is it. I'm Mr. Is. What can 1 do for you? Whom do you want, then? Oh. all right: hold the wire. Here, Jimmy, some one to talk to you." Jimmy, a diminutive, towheaded of fice boy, approached and seized the re ceiver. "Yep, dis is Jim. Oh, yep: hullo yer self. Sure, dat was him talkin'. Wot? Hully gee! Dat so? A'rlght—yep ~ goodby yerself.

A Joke That Met a Man Who Had a Feeble Sense of Humor.

At the clambake there were plenty of people who enjoyed he syopch of the Wisconsin man. but thererwas one seri ous minded listener on whom it fell fiat "I started off." said the ex-governor, telling the story, "by stating that I had eaten so many of tl r low neck clams !
