MR. O'LEARY.

I Mr. O'Leary, president of the AmerlTruth society, serves notice on President Wilson that he cannot support President Wilson because he is an ally of Great Britain. President Wilson sends him back a resounding an-

Vfrw and tells him that he does not "want the. support of O'Leary nor any one of his type. -It does not require much imagination to' determine what would happen if the "O'Learys" ruled this country.' This

special privilege out of the seat of government. Wilson's achievements have been too conspicuous and too far reaching in their benefits to the people to be recklessly thrown away or surrendered.

CARRYING THE LOAD.

Congressman Ralph W. Moss in his speeches in this county has made a deep impression with the information he has furnished his audiences relative to the income tax. When Mr. Moss speaks of the tariff he usually prefaces his remarks that the old tariff issue as generally understood in politics is so obsolete, so irrelevant to present day conditions, has been so nullified by war conditions, and generally is so out of date that it is a waste of time to discuss it. The congressman doe^ show, however, that while war has obliterated customs receipts a better system and a more equable and just tax has been established.

The receipts of the present federal income tax law as originally enacted for the fiscal year ending June 30,1916, were $124,000,000. This splendid showing has more than justified the highest expectations of the farmers of the law. The largest estimate made at the time of its enactment fixed its receipts at $120,000,000. This law naturally required about two years to attain its normal revenue yield. Tlr's is true both as to income and inheritance tax laws.

At the present time nearly sixty countries and states have income tax laws in operation. When once enacted no country has been known to repeal such law. While no tax is popular or welcome on the part of the citizen, yet it can be said that the tax on incomes is more generally acceptable than ariv other tax thus far devised. This state-

The cost of collection is only 1.50 per cent as compared with 3.25 per cent for customs collections. This tax involves no forced levies or sheriff's sales, because it only comes out of profits. This method of taxation deserves to live and to bo perpetuated in the fiscal systems of every civilized country. It is the greatest engine of fiscal power the United States has today.

Diplomacy has the best possible rule The president should gain approbation from some decisive policy this month.

Hide and leather dealers continue subject to a government promising immense prices for material and extraordinary profits. Substitutes for material used in shoes will be introduced v/ithin the year, the seers predict.

Again mines have a remarkably fine outlook. Mineral products will assume a new importance and bring in great gain. Missouri has an especially favorable sway of the stars.

Organization and economics sRould be studied while this configuration rules, as concentration, efficiency and foresight are believed to be stimulated.

Neptune is in a place held to be fortunate for all shipping interests. It ifc a time to push all large ventures.

This aspect is supposed to incline to success all who deal in fine foodstuffs. As those who deal with the public en masse should be particular to observe the moon's influences, politicians and candidates for office should note that the luminary is in Virgo, a sign which tends to make men and women cautious and hard to convince.

New York City has the forecast of another accident-even more serious than the explosion on the water front. This may be caused by the collapse of some excavation or the defective foundation of a big building.

Persons whose birthdat,e it is have the augury of a prosperous year. Children born on this day should be exceedingly bright in mind and stable in character. Both boys and girls are likely to rise rapidly in life.

Cavalry Troops Hereafter to be Supplied by Government. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—National guard cavalry troops and field artillery batteries are to be allotted 32 horses each to be maintained by the federal government on their return from the Mexican border to home stations. A provision to this effect in the national defense act the war department today announced, is to be made effective immediately, to meet the existing shortage of mounts in the guard.

There are 125 cavalry troops and 104 batteries of field artillery in the national guard. Headquarters companies, field hospitals and signal corps units also will be supplied with horses.

HE WAS WORRIED AND HOPELESS. "For ten or twelve years I was bothered with bad kidney trouble," writes T. F. Hutchinson, Little Rock, Ark. "I tried many remedies and doctors, but grew worse all th3 time. I was worried and had almost given up all hopes. I tried Foley Kidney Pill's and they helped me a lot. I have since used five boxes and am now a well man." Foley Kidney Pills drive out aches and pains due to kidney trouble: also sleep disturbing bladder disorders. —Valentine's Economical Drug Store.
