Mr. Lincoln (on his iifty-see-
ond birthday) traveled from In-
dia mi polls to Cincinnati. The
whole country wa* discussing
hi* Indianapolis speeches, nota-
bly hi* intimation that the Unit-
ed States "would hold and re-
take Its own forts and other
public property." At Cincinnati
he reaffirmed his declaration
there in 18T n that the Repub
lieu us would beat the Democrats
in 1N<;(> and, having beaten them,
treat them "according to the no-
ble examples of Washington,
Jefferson and Madison."

Horatio Seymour. 1 >einoerutic

York and presidential candidate
against Grant in i8;s, died at
Utica.
ment bj the First legislature of a
law placing a tax on mortgages, says
the Christian Science Monitor.
| The presumption on the part of the
friends of this measure was that the
money-lender would be compelled to
pay back to the people sonic part of
the interest money he exacted them.
Herein, of course, was the fundamen-
tal mistake. It. has never worked out
jias planned. Local capitalists have
either taken account of the mortgag
jtax in making loans, thus compelling
jthe borrower to meet it, or have sen
their money outside the state where it
could find free investment. In this
j way hundreds of thousands of dollars
that would have been invested in this
(state annually have gone to borrow-
ers ill other states. But even with-
out these results oven if Oklahoma
(with its great advantages had still
remained a profitable field for invest-
ment the principle of mirtgage tax-
ation would have been wrong, inas-
much as it means simply double taxa-
tion for the land-owner who borrows.
I A movement led by members of the
Oklahoma Hankers' Association may
culminate In the reepal of the meas-
'ure. Politicians and newspapers and
business men of all parties have been
made to see at last the harmful na-
ture of such legislation. Oklahoma
will find a stream of capital turned
t toward it the moment this obstacle Is
removed. Hut it is difficult, never-
theless, to avoid regretting what must
still be regarded as a lost opportunity
in the young state. Since It was
bound to go in for innovation in tax-
ation, something permanent might
have been gained had it gone in for
an exclusive land tax a single tax.
In the present Instance it can only
retrace its steps. Yet it is well to be
able to do this before it is too late.
DOUBLE TAXATION IN OKLAHOMA
Opportunity that cam to Oklahoma
upon its admission to the slsterhod
of states, for the inauguration of an
Improved system of taxation, was ex-
ceptional. The people of the infant
commonwealth were only too eager to
be led in this, as in many other re-
spects. They were receptive of all
new ideas in government. They had
divested themselves very generally of
old prejudices in their new govern-
ment. They wre desirous of found-
ing a stat In which equity should
play at least an equal part with law.
But their leadership was not always
wise, and they made some serious
mistakes at the very beginning, the
results of which they are still feeling
keenly. One of these was the enact-

back for
the sectl
liquor it
ua City, Feb. 11—The sen-
mother whirl at tire prohibi-
resuiting in a decided set-
the friends of the bill. After
n prohibiting the keeping of
places of business, which
was uini* discussion Tuesday, failed
of passage, 11 to 10. The section lim-
iting the amount to be kept in private
residences to one gallon of vinous or
spiritous liquor and one cask of malt
liquor, was taken up. With several
amendments pending, the senate in
committee of the whole adopted
motion by Echols to defer further
consideration for the day, by vote of
18 to 12.
The friends of the prohibiiton bill
then started a filibustering campaign
to prevent the consideration of any
other business. Senator Thompson
first moved to rise and report, but
was defeated on a strict division, 13
to 16.
An attempt was then made to con-
sider the house bill by Marshall, ap
propriating $15,000 for drilling for ar
tesiau water on school lands in the
Panhandle counties. The bill had not
been printed, but typewritten copies
had been prepared for the entire mem-
bership. Thompson mad a point of
order against the consideration of the
bill when it was not printed. Senator
Franklin, in the chair, held that the
typewritten bill complied with the re-
quirement. Thompson appealed from
the decision of the chair, but lost. The
continuation of similar tactics pre-
vented any consideration of the bill in
the committee of the Whole, and the
ommittee finally rose and reported
without making any progress.
Roddie then moved that the prohi-
bition bill be made a special order for
tomorrow and remain as unfinished
business until disposed of. He de-
manded a call of the house on that
motion, but lost, 12 to 21. The motion
for a special order was also deefated,
12 to 22.
The senate finally overrode the fili-
bustered and again went into com-
mittee of the whole for consideration
of the Marshall bill. Thompson tried
to secure an indefinite postponement
of the bill, declaring that tests had
been made without success by both
the government and the railroads.
Potter, Briggs, Echols, Denton and
ColvH" cam4 .to the support of the
till, questioning the correctness of
Thompson's statements.

"Strange," she murmured, "it must

know I can swim in them, but my

While the clerk was getting them
on she said:
"I used to have such a beautiful
foot- not small—but such a good
shape. 1 never had a small foot, but
I wore 2 1-2 size for years, until I
walked so much and grew heavier."
"Your foot is a peculiar shape, the
instep is so high—that is whv you re-
quire a large size," said the clerk,
who had no fear of Ananias before ais
eyes.
"I've heard," she said, "that the
Venus dee Medeechy wears No. 5 and
she is a model of true proportion."
"Exactly," said the clerk, growing
red in the fane s ve pu'hd and
