The Evansville Courier Rarises. The Evan3vi le Couier raised its subscription price this week about 40 per cent for the follow inpr reasons. The continued, rising cost of white newsprint and other pub lishing expenses forced us to in noun:e an increase in subscrip tion rate. White paper wh;ch formerly cost 2 cents per pouDd ha? lisen to 16 cents, an increase of 700per cent. Other cost have advanced proportionately. The increase in subscription rates is no wije in propoitlon to the increased cost of everythm that goes into a newspaper Th Courier prefers to carry the Lmt den, passing but a small shara tc the subscriber.

DcCrag and His Herefords The Hill onaire Tax Dodging

te (or Govern. On March 1 1917 according to the&3CCor'8 sheet, signed and sworn to by Mr. McCray himcelf on April 24, 1617, he had 265 head of cattle on his Orchard Lake farm, 40 head under one year old, and the xalue crrr theae 40 head was given at $1,000, $25 per head; 50 head one year old and over at $2 000, $40 per head 40 head two years andover $2.000 150 per head; 135 head three yeais old and over, $3,000 or $28 50 per head. A grand' total for the 265 of $13,000. Only a few days after this assessment was make, 75 head sold at $131,000, one bull alone, selling at $17.'00, $4,000 more than the entire 265 head was value at for taxation by the own er The Indiana tax law says that all property must be given in at its real cash va'ue. How is this determined? Did MP. McCray imagine for a moment that the 75 head of cattle he sold at public auction some 10 (lavs after he had listed them for taxation would sell for less than S50 per head? Nobody believes any such Aingnordo they believe that f SN A. 1 P one navmg sou.uw worm oi livestock should get off for tax paying purposes on $13,000- In other words should a $17,000 bull of the millionaire be assessed at no more than the $50 cow of a poor widow or a day laborer, Senator Warren O. Harding isa political devicein the same sense that the horse3 of the Greeks was a millitary device. And the )bjectb hind both is: Possession. The Republican Convention proceeded cn two bases. One was that the Democrats are the dominant party and certain to win in November ;f the Republi can made one mistake or permit the slightest division within their awn ranks. The other was that pussyfooting ;s the safest path to offics. Everything was compromisedtfotabjy the plank on the League of the Nations offers shelter to pro -Leaguers and anti Leaguers. It was constructed primarily cc take care of those Republicans who would have been enthusias tically for the League had it not been erected by Woodrow Wilson and, at the same time to save the faces of the secret anti-Leaguers, ike Lodge, and the open anti j'jaguers, like Borah and John en. So timid was the convention that it would not have nominated Govern o- Lowden unless the ilternative hal been Ltwden or Wood. Then reluctantly it would have selected the Governor o lllnois. But the standpat Senate roup as contrasted with the regressive Senate group of Kenyon, Borah, and Johnsonfound theii Ohio colleague wandering iorlorn and proposed him as a shelter-point. The timorous delegates hadfound their McKinley. And they went to him so vigorously that it wss not neces sary for Senator Penrose to carry out his promise that he would "take Lowden if that was tne onTy way to beat Wood " Senator Harding had run a poor first in his own S at primaries. He had run fourth in Indiina whence comes Senator Harry New who evolved the Harding inspiration. He had spent over $200,00 but not bought much v. ith .

The county, said the Senators, wants no mmej sup'nnjn. We cheer the nam-' )f Rv)je.e!tv but what we iuju is a McKinley. In the whole United State no :itizens are more disappointed ind disgusted with the outcome than Johnson and Borah. All the stride made by their faction since the days when Roosevelt, became a radical are lo3t. Senator Harding will "take ?ood advice " If elected he will be an easy croing party President But if the Democrats do not yield to the temptations of overplaying the radical end, and if thev select a candidate of great per sonal ability who will appeal to ; he women and the indep endent3 !

LURES MALE TO DEATH Professor Imitate Call f Fmle and Secures Specimen ef Strang An , Irrurt Spends Ovsr Two tl Ysars In Congo. New Tork. Prof. It. L. Garner, naturalist and student of monkeys, returned recently with four tons of specimens for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and a description oi an animal, a cross between a gorilla and a chimpanzee, which he avert was of such high intelligence that It could talk to a limited degree to natives In the French Congo. The naturalist said he had spent two years and seven months in the French Congo In the Interests of the Smithsonian institution. Region Called "Infected." "In all my travels through the jungles I have never come across such a strange animal as the talking gorilla' he said. "I first heard of the beast from natives In the Congo, who said that a certain region was Infested with the animals, with wh!$h they had learned to talk after a fashion." Professor Garner said he Induced four natives to accompany him to the habitat of the animals. He said he fouud they had told the truth and he himself set about to learn to talk to the monkeys, which, In the dark, could be taken for natives. Lures Malt tt Death. One night several of the man apes approached the edge of the" village and uttered a strange call which sounded like "Waa-hooa" Professor Garner said. This, he declared, was the call of Could Talk to Natives. ' the male for Its mate. Interpreted, It meant: "Where are you?" The answering call, given usually by a female, is "Ahooahoo," meaning, as Professor Garner said, "Here I am." Professor Gar&er said he spent weeks perfecting himself In Imitating the call of the female. Then one night he answered the call of a male ape, and, to his surprise, the animal bounded briskly over the ground to where he stood, with his rifle In hand, lie said he shot the animal and brought Its body back with him. The ape, he said, was more than six feet tall and weighed 200 ioiinds. Longs 50 Years for Drink; Curiosity Is Now Satisfied All his married life of 50 years John O'Ulley, seventy, of Kansas City, Mo., had been intending to get drunk, just to see how it would feel. Knowing nationwide prohibition was coming John decided delay was dangerous, so he carried out his longcherished ambition. Mrs. O'ltlley had him arrested. Husband and wife faced Judge Casimer Welch in court. John was a 'good-natured" drunk, she said. "In that case I'll release him said the judge. Til never do It again, Judge; my curiosity has been satisfied O'Klley said. A Frenchman has perfected an Invention which makes it Impossible to listen in on a party line. "Won't that make our neighbors mad!" chuckles everybody on a party line. The little tin prophets who are predicting that woodn shoes will soon come into vogue are crazy. They haven't read the lumber quotations recently. Economically, civilization seems to be a refined sort of scheme by which nonproducers frequently skin real producers put of Ui fruits of tbeir tell.
