It is the purpose of the club to ask the state legislature to devise ways and means by which the sparrows may be exterminated. Among other information sought by the club is that relating to the influence of the English sparrow upon our native birds, espec- ially songsters, which most people re- .gard as the most important of the many reasons why the sparrow should be exterminated. If there is not there should be a unanimous sentiment among the peo- ple of this state in favor of the -exter- mination of the English sparrow. There is no doubt that the sparrow is fast crowding out the song birds which formerly made the woods and fields re- sound with their sweet songs and which delighted the eye of the city dweller by their presence on lawns and in parks. The sparrow has driven the song birds away by its constant quar- relling and usurpation of trees and feeding grounds. For this reason the frieuds of soag birds should unite in demanding that the legislature shall assist the people in the work of getting rid of these pests. There are other reasons why the sparrow should not be allowed to live. This pugnacious little bird is a nui- gance. He builds his nest in most in- convenient places and does great dam- age to buildings. If he is of any bene- fit to the community nobody bas ever discerned the fact, but that his extinc- / tion would be most weicome to almost ..r' everybody there is no gainsaying. May the Burroughs Club of America be successfui in its efforts to drive the sparrow from its place in the family of birds is the wish of those who remem- ber how full of bird music was the world before the English sparrow was brought to our shores. TAXING FORTUNES, President Roosevelt is in favor of an income tax, and he believes that vast fortunes should be taxed so heavily as to compel their distribution among beneficiaries and legatees. There was .an income tax in force in this country during the war of the rebellion, but it was declared to be unconstitutional by the supreme court. In order to estab- lish a valid income tax it would be necessary to amend the constitution. An inheritance tax can, however, be imposed by congress. It was in exis- tence during the war with Spain as a means of raising revenue, but it was abolished after the necessity for it had ceased. r England has long had an income tax. There a man with an income of less than $800 is exempt, but an income of $2,000 pays $62.50 to the government annually; $3,600 pays $175, and for all jncomes above that the rate is one- twentieth. The inheritance “tax of | England isso heavy that it takes 8 per cent of all estates of $5,000,000 or CHANGING MEMORIAL DAY, There is a movement on foot among Grand Army men to change Memorial day from May 80 to the last Sunday of May, and the suggestion is meeting with much popular fevor. The old sol- dier claims that the Memorial day as now celebrated does not belong to him; that it is turned into a day of sports, and too often dissipation, and that the real significance is lost sight of or for- gotten, and the lessons of patriotism, formerly associated with the day, are no longer taught. There is much reason in the conten: tion, and the adoption of a Sunday for the combined memorial service and patriotic observance would obviate the secular features which are now insep- erable from Memorial day. It is not to be expected that young people will re- frain from outdoor recreations of all kinds on a secular holiday and there is no desire to find fault with them for their characteristic manner of observ- ing the 30th of May, but the old sold- jers are entitled to their day. At the coming national coming en- campment’in Minuneapollis the change of date will be discussed, and propably acted upon, if what appears to be the present sentiment prevails.

F. Wolf believes that the problem of long life is solved by proper care of the digestive organs. Let the stomach get out of condition and soon there will be nervousness, irritation, farred tongue, specks before the eyes, weak- ness, debility, indigestion and other physical and mental troubles that di- rectly result from a weakened stomach. Of all the vital organs, the stomach is the most frequently abused, and hence, the one which most frequently fails, and so with the discovery of a remedy like Mi-o-na stomach tablets, which is sold on an absolute guarantee to strengthen the digestive system, aid in assimilation of food, and cure all troubles caused by indigestion, an im- portant step.has been taken towards solving the question of good health and long life, 0. F. Wolf sells Mi-o-na on an abso- lute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. A large box of these tablets costs but 50 cents, if it helps you; nothing if it fails. over, but of the smallest it only absorbs 1 per cent of their value. From the income taxes at their pres- ent figure the British treasury derives oe npward of $110,000,000 a year and from | the inheritance taxes more than $50,- | © 000,000. In financial emergencies these | imposts are invariably increased, and | at one time the income tax was $190,- | 000,000. Germany relies on the taxa- tion of incomes for 10 per cent of its income; Italy over 16 per cent; France over 2 per cent; Japan 5 per cent and Sweden 11 per cent. The inheritance | tax, which yields England about 9 per cent of its total revenue, gives Belgium over four per cent, and is imposed in all European countries ex Russia and the minor nation 1kan * region. do a | fA ' T.

The welfare of the whole people | and the preservation of their rights | and liberties demand their emancipa- tion from the grinding tyranny of the rale of the corporations, who have so | long dominated the politics and dic- tated the policies of the old political parties and throngh them ruled the | people. 3. Hoping to better our condition as workers, we have time and again peti- tioned our representatives at Harris- | burg for laws that would remove some | of the grievances under which we labor | and right some of our wrongs. And | how were we answered? By the in-| multiplication of our grievances. realizing the futility of further suppli- cating aud petitioning, we have decided to act. 4. The Working Class been formed for the express purpose of having laws enacted in the interest of labor, and enforcing the same, through the election of labor candidates to all | public offices; and to force the repeal of | all laws antagonistic to the interest of the working people. | 5. We pledgejourselves to work and | vote for the initiative and referendum; the right for trolleys to carry freight; | regulation of railway rates and two- | cent passenger fares; employers’ lia- | bility act and old age pension, and for | all measures that will tend to elevate the masses, raise the standard of living, increase the comforts of life and dis- seminate the blessings of civilization to all. 6. We demand the repeal of the od- ious state constabulary act; the aboli- tion of theuse of tHe injunction in labor troubles; the right of free speech and free assemblage; in short, the use of all the constitutional rights and privileges to which we are entitled and of which we have been deprived through the illegal and despotic use of judicial power in the issuing of injunc- tions by trucculent judges in the in- terest of the corporations. We demand | th® right of trial by jury for any one | charged with criminal acts and the re- | striction of the judiciary to its proper | sphere—the interpretation of the law. | 7. We call on all fair minded citizens to assist in bringing about that much to be desired condition: When all men will be free under the law, and the law will be justice and equity, equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Vote for your own interests, the wel- fare of yourself and family and your fellow workers. | The convention’s closing session Sat- | urday afternoon was taken up with the discussion of the steps which would be | necessary to have the new party’s can- didates placed on the ballots for the | coming election. A delegation was | gent to consult an attorney in regard to the matter and upon their reporting the convention adjourned. Letter 10 Cole Bros. Patton, Pa.

Bought two cans, took off the labels, sent to a chemist for analysis. The chemist found it pure and they took our agency. That is the way to find out a paint; but not every dealer can do it.
