In Special Message to Legislature He Asserts That New York Executive's Objections Have No Force. Trenton. X. J.. Feb. 8. Ciovernor Fort lnis sent a special message to the legislature urging tlip niloptton In tills Htate of the proposed sixteenth amend mcnt to the United States constitution permitting congress to levy an Income tax. The governor In his 'message de scribes an income tax as the most just and ciiultahle form of tax that can he K'vled. lie says: "An Income tax Is n tax which Is sure to vouch all classes of property, real and personal. The United States vhould possess the unquestioned pow er to ta incomes. It may not be nec- GOV. JOHX FltAXKMX FORT ussary to use the power, but If emer gency should arise which requires It the right to tax should exist." The governor says he fails to see any ground for the criticism that un der the amendment proposed the In come upon state or municipal securi ties migbi be taxed. As to the claim that the federal government might In jure the states by taxing stnte bonds, the governor says that the remedy ties tn the hands of the people In the selec tion of congressmen and that the pa triotisni of the people is a sulileient guarantee against tho election of any congress that would levy taxes with a view of destroying the power or in tegrity of the states. On these points the message says: As to the claim that the feileral kov ernment might Injure the states as such by taxing state bonds under nn Income tax, there are two satisfactory answers- First. ConKress Is representative of thi states and elected by the citizens, and the remedy is in the hands of the peopl" of the states. Second. No congress could be elected that would lay any tax with the view of destroying the power or integrity of the states. I am not inclined to accept tne stale- mem wiai me supreme guuri ui me l.iiii- i nt,,.-, miirht ennstmo the words -from 1 whatever source derived" as found in the 1 ponding amendment as justifying the tax- mg or the securities or any otner taxing power This latte part of Governor Fort's message is regarded as n direct an-1 swer to the arguments against the pro posed Income tnx amendment contain ed tn the message sent to the New York legislature by Governor Charles E. Hughes on Jan. 5. BAD BEEF AT WHITE HOUSE. Old Storage Meat Delivered There In Roosevelt's Time. Washington, Feb. 8.

Paper Board Combine Pleads Guilty to I Restraint of Trr.de. New York. Fell. N. Twenty-seven of the thirty-nine corporations composing the paper hoard trust pleaded guilty to being nu Illegal combination In re straint of trade and were lined by Judge Hough In the criminal branch of the United States court iflMKMt apiece, or 5.14,000. The pica was made through the association's attorney. .Tames M. Heck, former attorney gen eral. The court's decision practically dis solves the trust, which was Indicted os a combination In restraint of Inter state trade and foreign commerce. The Indictment named forty corporate de fendants and the same number of In dividual defendants, ollleers of the various companies. Assistant District Attorney Wise had collected evidence to show that when the combination, was formed the cost of paper board was 521 n ton nnd that by 1007 it had been boosted to $:!!). Even during the hard times It was kept nt $30 by judicious shutting down of factories. Since the Indictment against the association last December it has fallen to its normal price. Hut during the four years mentioned, as the indictment stated, an annual tax of $r,000,000 had been levied on the people of the country. The twelve other corporations In the combination are to plead later. Tho combination controls the paper busi ness from Maine to Virginia nnd Ohio SLAIN WOMAN UNDER FLOOR, Body of Victim Found by Police in New York Apartment House. Xew York, Feb. 8.

It Is expected, however, that this Investigation will bo completed before March 31. Weather Probabilities. Unsettled; light to moderate south nd southwest winds, LINCOLNIANA. A Great Man, as Seen by Those About Him. Lincoln at the beginning of his Presidential term Is described as weighing a hundred and eighty pounds, with fow, If any, gray h .ira, deep rings under his hollow cyt, h earqworn, sallow, deeply-lined t.ue; thicK and hanging tower Hp, ears tl.it almost stood at right nnglca to rus head, and foot slightly pigcon-tood. l.i disposition he was to good- natured he could scarcely over say No;" alternately exceedingly cheer ful nnd very melancholy, and much given to long reveries and distracted wnlks. The first Impression he made upon tho people of Washington was that he was "at once miserable and kind." They were partially distrustful, yet had confidence in him, for, never hav ing held an executive or ministerial odice, they felt the magnitude of the task before him was almost beyond him. Simplicity clung to htm all his life, so that his leaving his home, Spring field, on February 11, 1861. for Wash ington, was qulto characteristic. lie Born February 12, 1809. Died April 15, 1865, made all his friends and neighbors an affectionate farewell, and requested his law partner not to change the sign "Lincoln & Herndon" while he was unavoidably absent In Washing ton. The "Rail Splitter" and "Honest Abe Lincoln," two campaign names, still clung to htm, nnd as the years rolled on in the White House the peo ple felt he was "Honest Abe" still. His unfortunate appearance almost universally made a bad first impres sion, but which his plain and kindly manners soon dispelled. It Is said of him that there was never a President who, while the head of the nation. yet remained so near the people. He seemed always to be in constant and active contact with the public opinion of the country. At the head of the af fairs of our nation at one of its most trying periods, he felt the pain of every wound on the battlefield and the sorrow of every woman or child who lost husband or father. Washington was revered with awe, Jackson was acclaimed with unweary ing enthusiasm as a conquering hero, but Abraham Lincoln was loved with a genuine sentimental attachment. Shakespeare, the Bible, sentimental ballads and American humorists were his favorite reading. He was noticea bly unmindful of pomp or ceremony. It was hts common hnbit to write ines iges of moment to generals and sec-"-nrles on cards and slips of paper. rice, in one of the numerous le'rns he used to relate, he told of 'Rr-Klng through a great assemblage of cople, one of whom said: "He Is a "ommon-looking fellow." "Friends," re plied Lincoln, even In his drenm; "the Lord prefers common-looking people, that Is why He made so many of them." The New Lincoln Monument at Springfield, III. This 1b a duplication of the old monument, excopt for an added height of fifteen feet on tho shnft. One hun dred thousand dollars lire been ap propriated by tho State of Illinois to provldo for tho remains of the mar tyred President a safe and permanent resting place. Lincoln's Leadership a Standard. Our needs, our conditions, are differ ent, but the principles of Justlco and of human liberty are tho same, now and forever. In the recurring nnd necessary readjustment of laws and methods In the related realms of In dustry, of economics, and of govern ment, let us demand tho respect for rights, the acknowledgment of mutual duties, the striving for Justice, tho un derstanding of humanity and the love of fellow-men which make Lincoln's leadership, like the leadership of Washington. gjtaturday Qight 0alksE- Rev. F. E. DAVISON Rutland, Vt "M O.flQfO'O'Q'j'Pjpj'Oj; FINANCES OF KINGDOM. International Bible Lesson for Feb. 13, 10. (Matt. 6:19-34). Homer, In his classic poem the Odyssey, nnrratcs tho wnndcrlngs of Ulysses In his return from Troy to his own kingdom Ithaca. One of tho dan gers which the great warrior encount ered was the peril of sailing his ves sel between Scylla and CharybuiS. Scllla was a snaky female monster who dwelt in a cavo high up on n cliff. from whence she was accustomed to thrust forth her long necks, for the had six heads, and tn each of her mouths to seize one of the crew of every passing vessel. On the other side of this narrow strait waB another monster, Charybdls, who wns In real ity a whirlpool, which three times a dny drew the water Into a frightful chasm, from which not even Nep unp himself could protect and rescue any ill-fated ship. So there was a fright ful peril on'either side of the mrrov passage to guard agninst. And the poet says, that while Ulysses and hi men were keeping strict watch 'or the whirlpool they forgot the sir. headed monster Scylla, and were 0:1 y mr.de aware of the danger 011 tl at side, when six of the sailors v. ere snatched out of the boat nnd home away shrieking to her den. Thus we get the proverbial expression. "He runs on Scylla, wishing to an,.d Charybdls." Money and Trust. In the teachings of Christ, in the Sermon on the Mount, we meet with a statement concerning the finances of the kingdom, that this old story seems vividly to Illustrate. The sub Jects of the kingdom of heaven are nevertheless in this world, and they cannot do without the things of this world, money, property, possessions, houses, lands, real estate, wages or Income, whatever form their acquisi tions may take. They hare to eat and drink and wear clothing, and pay house rent and taxes and support those dependent upon them. They cannot cut themselves loose from the use of money, from its possession and its employment. On the other hand real piety nnd trust in a Heavenly Father's care cannot possibly have anything in com mon with feverish anxiety, worry, per plexity, nervous prostration over tho bread question, or a wild and selfish scrichle nfter the Almighty Dollar, The path between these two extremes you observe, is straight and danger ous. It is like the voyage of Ulysses, On one side the whirlpool; on the other side the rock. The yawning jaws of Scylla are on this side, the engulf ing waves of Charybdls are on that side. In trying to escape this peril, we must keep a sharp look out for that. On the one side must be shunned the Scylla of greed; on the other side the Charybdls of care. The one Is the real danger of seeking too much, the other the supposed danger of hav ing too little of the good thing of life. And this is not as some suppose one caution for the rich and another for the poor. For the rich may be eaten up with care and anxiety nnd worry In his desire to keep what he has and to get a little more; and the poor may have his heart as anxiously nnd sinfully set upon the Increase ot hts dimes as Uie other man upon his millions. It is not n question of classes but of qualities of soul. Commercialism Condemned. The warning on one side Is against making money our treasure. The literal translation is, "Treasure not for yourselves treasures upon the earth." It Is not n prohibition of wealth but n prohibition of 'wealth as a treasure. And this for the reason that such treasures will perish; they will darken the spiritual vision and they will destroy the heart; to set the heart upon the world means to give up the kingdom, for no man can serve two masters. It Is truo of many a man that riches possess the man, rather than man the riches. He is the bond slave of hts pockctbook. Anxiety Reproved. That Is one side of it. The other side is, a wnrning against anxiety The words "Take no thought," in that day meant to everybody, "He not over anxious." In other words, Do not fill your life with worry, do not be n slave to anxious care. Look at the birds, and the (lowers In their free dom from covetousness, and discon tent. We cannot escape from trou ble, but wo can avoid crossing the bridgo until we come to It. A vast amount of trouble In this world Is only Imaginary, wo suffer because we per sist In bearing not only tho troubles we have now, but those we hnd yos- terday and those we are going to have to-morrow. Sufficient into-tho day la the evil thereof. Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. It Is well to remember that the eje that watchos the sparrow will not overlook us. In sailing along over this sea ot life keep one eye out for Scylla and tho other for Charybdls. Foresight. Christ does not forbid foresight end provision for tho future; for tho birds' neither sow nor reap nor gathor Into barns, yet they do build their nests, gather their food, and make their an- nunl migration to warmer climes as though everything depended upon their vigilance and activity. They work but do not worry. Thoy are beautiful examples of perfect trust. They seek their food as If they eipoot ed to find It; car-froe and happy. ARMORCLAD BIRD'S NEST. 8lxty-slx Nails, Also Wire and Pins Woven Into It. "In tho Argentlno Republic," snys a writer In the Strand, "where the summers are long and hot, It Is custo mary to leave the windows open both day and night during tho hottest part of tho year. "A bird, taking advnntogo of this. proceeded to build a nest In my room, fixing It firmly to ono of the Vcno'lan blinds over the window. The e?gs were hntched nnd the young birds fledged. On taking down the empty nn 1 found It to be practically armorcWl. the outer part being composed ahon entirely of old rusty nails woven '-a among tho hay.
