The 3-Mill Tax.
The manning times would remove the
constitutional 3-mi!l tax l^w from the c:
statute book. The times thinks that if 01
the 3-rnlll tax were removed that then ft:
each district would make a just and u
square" return of its property. Make a bi
canvass of the funds necessary to run the jjj
I schools nine months and vote the neccs- f(
sary tax. T
There is no doubt but that the 3-miIl s'
tax is, in every instance, insufficient to n
raise funds' enough to run any of our fc
schools for nine months. Whether or not s<
it would t>e a good plan to do away with it ^
is a question. Some communities vote G,
whatever additional tax is necessary to si
run the schools nine months already I r
Sr>rr>A pnmmunifcies will vote not one cent I
more than they can get around voting, ec
They make the 3-mill tax answer for all G
I phool purposes. If it is sufficient to run
the school's nine months, well and good,
if it is sufficient to rnn the school for only w
six months why then they will let it rest ^
at that. vj
It would not be wise to remove the pi
8-mill constitutional tax from such a ^
community. The result would be that w
they would in many instance, have no
schools at all. We should certainly hold H
to what we have. "
Instead of removing the constitutional
3-mill tax it were better to double it and at
make it 6-mills. This would in most in
stances preclude th e necessity of certain
communities voting special taxes of 2. 3, h<
and 4 mills, to supplement the constitu
tional 3-niiil tax and at the same time it
would lengthen the terms of other schools e2
which for various reasons refuse to vote a in
special tax or supplement the constitutional
3-mills tax by private contribution. S(
The times is correct in its position that Jj
something should be done to lengthen h<
the terms of our country schools and it
seems to us that the best, qui ckest and
safest way is to double the constitutional si
provision. "

Costly Gambling in Cotton Seed Oil.
Speculators in New York are holding
ut the sure relative lure to cotton seed
il mills in the South, as that with which
amblers on the New York Cotton Exhange
hypnotize both farmers and Cot>n
mills into accepting, in advance, an
nfair price for their staple.
For instance, despite the present sacarciv
of cotton seed oil, due to the short crop
f last season, and patent inability to seure
fresh supplies before next September,
ew York speculators are now selling oil
ptinns for December-January delivery
t a discount of 13 cents a gallon under
he parity for spot delivery of crude oil
) the South. They are, moreover, urging
lills in the South to follow their example,
a the face of the heavy penalties paid by
outhern mills for nibbliug at such bait
ist summer.
Dealing in futures is as bad for the coton
seed oil operator as it is for the farmer,
"he undesirability is emphasied in tho curent
instance, where there is a scarcity oi
>il amounting almost to a famine, and
trhere uncertainty regarding the forthoming
yield is the dominant note of the
ituation.
Oil mill men have everything to gain
nd nothing to lose by holding on tight to
heir respective crusnings, the advise of
he eastern gamblers to the contrary notwithstanding.
They can rest assured that
he market will absorb, at trood prices, and
i>r spot delivery, whatever oil "they may
rush when the new crop is coming in.
Following any other course, they will
simply be voluntarily sacrificing profits
o which they are legitimately entitled to
eed the pockets of speculators, whose
cale interest in the situation is that of
he detached gamester, or the seeker of
ommissions.
If the Oil mills of the South are anxious
o embark upon philanthropy undiluted
10 better opening offers than in mortgager
at the present time the output, which
rill be worth infinitely more next fall.
The one way to avoid such disaster is to
efuse to sell "oil for future delivery, un?ss
at prices incomparably more commenurate
with the potential value of theproluct
than those now offered.

INVENTOR OF TELEPOST
BEGAN AS WIRE OPERATOR.
Has Now Received Highest Honor*
For His Achievements In Rapid Tic
legraphy.
"Many of the prominent men of the
time began their careers n the comparatively
humble calling of the telegraph
operator," says Leslie's Weekly.
"One of the most successful of these is
Patrick Bernard Delany of New York,
whose Inventions in improving telegraphy
have attracted worldwide attention
Born In Ireland, Mr. Delany was
brought to this country when a lad, became
an excellent telegraph operator at
the age of sixteen and at eighteen was
one of the most expert press operators
In the land. Afterward he rose to high
positions in various telegraph companies
and later was associated with
Mr. Edison In rapid telegraphy experiments
and began his work as an lnWa
Hn-Hcxvl fhp fnmoui 'antl
T CUIV1' uw v?v * vw
Page relay,' for which he received a
considerable sum, and Invented the
antl-Induction cable, the patents of
which netted him over $100,000.
"Turning his attention to synchronous
multiplex telegraphy, he perfected
a system whereby six Morse circuits
were obtained from a single
wire and was awarded for tt the
highest prize at the International Inventions
exhibition In London in 1835.
Mr. Delany twenty-one years ago
equipped a laboratory at South Orange,
N. J., and devoted his time to
automatic rapid telegraphy, in which
he has had great success, his apparatus
transmitting a thousand words a
minute over a sir gle wire. This Is regarded
by experts as one of the greatest
achievements In the telegraphic line."
DEMANDS FIRM POLICY
TOWARD SOUTH AMERICA.
Plea For the Protection of Amerloan
interests South of the Caribbean.
"If the new 'temple- of peace,' the
$750,000 building for the International
hnrean of American republics, of which
the cornerstone was laid In April, is
not to be a memorial to the ruin of
United States Interests In a number of
these republics, our government must
establish a reputation for firmness
when these lntereiits are attacked,"
says a writer In the Pan-American.
"With the completion of the Isthmian
canal these interests, which are already
estimated at a valuation of
$1,000,000,000, will be largely increased
A policy as Just as It is unyielding
when necessity requires will mear. the
salvation of existing Investments and
the protection of the investor of the
future.
"The fact that a definite remedy is
required was Impressed anew upon the
United States by the unsuccessful effort
on the part of the state department
to secure arbitration of five long
pending American claims against Venezuela.
"The merits of these particular cases
la not, however, the question of immediate
Importance. This question is,
What effect must be expected from a
policy which Involves the abandonment
of citizens whose wrongs have
been declared to the world? If redress
Is Eiot to be exacted for *hese wrongs,
what fate can other despoiled American
citizens expect In Central and
South America when menaced by unscrupulous
governments?
"The definite remedy demanded involves
no more than the assertion of a
policy of insisting upon prompt and
thorpugh redress of injuries. It would
not be difficult for the United States to
establish such a reputation for protecting
the interests of its citizens in
South America that these interests
would rarely be attacked. All the
precedents go to show, especially In
the case of Venezuela, that the most
Impudent, contumacious and belligerent
of South American potentates will
I .become tractable upon the mere threat
lot fbree."

of his wealth has come from monopo- ?
lies out of which he has received the
lion's share. The latest and one of
the most Ingenious of these monopolies
was the sole right to butcher cattle.
, This was said to produce a net
income of $2,000 a day, as tbf .cattle
raisers were forced to sell their animals
for almost nothing in the absence
of competition.
Foreigners of all nations, as well as
the Venezuelans, hare contributed to
Castro's European bank deposits.
After four years of exploitation the
"receiver" of the New York andJJermudez
company's asphalt property turned
Into the Venezuelan treasury only $8,000
as the net proceeds of four years'
salts, amounting to about half a million
dollars at the mine. All but $3,000
of this sum, the "receiver*' stated^

GRILLS THE VIVISECTIONISTS.
Advocates of Regulating Animal Experiments
Ask Operators Some Pertinent
Questions.
Protesting against attempts to misrepresent
the attitude of the Society
For the Prevention of Abuse In Animal
Experimentation, Mr. F. P. Bellamy,
counsel for the society, denies that
It ever proposed the prohibition of
vivisection. The society stands, he
Bays, upon precisely the platform
where Herbert Spencer, the greatest
of English scientists, stood when in
1895 he, with nearly 200 of the most
prominent physicians In England and
In this country, signed a statement In
which he said:
"We believe, therefore, that the
common interests of humanity and
science demand that vivisection, like
the study of human anatomy in the
dissecting room, should be brought under
the direct supervision and control
of the state. The practice, whether In
public or In private, should be restricted
by law to certain definite objects
and surrounded dy every possioie bhibguard
against license or abuse."
Mr. Bellamy Insists that these questions
call for a frank answer from
those who oppose any snch safeguards:
Qucriu For the Doctor*.
How can legitimate scientific work
by competent men be injured by a law
which will limit all vivisection to competent
persons?
How can legitimate scientific work
be injured by a law which will compel
the use of anaesthetics in all cases
where the success of the experiment
does not make the use of anaesthetics
impracticable?
If our proposed legislation does not
fully protect legitimate scientific work,
why do not our opponents who criticise
it accept our often repeated invitation
and suggest some amendment
which will fully orotect Scientific re
search?
Why the secrecy with which vivisection
la surrounded? Has the disemboweling
of living animals, In order to
experiment with their vital organs, or
the amputation of limbs from one animal
and attaching them to another
become so painless that the public
has no interest to know what effort Is
made to save unnecessary suffering?
Or Is the brutality of the whole
thing so hideous or so unnecessary
that the operators do not dare to let in
the light of investigation upon it?
We again challenge them to open
the doors of their star chamber laboratories
and let the truth be known. In
no other way can they quiet the public
apprehension or avert the legislation
of which they have such dread.
PIONEER AMERICAN LiNEN
MILLS BRANCHING OUT.
Hug* Plant Now Planned Mado Neceeaary
by One Year'a Development of
New Induatry.
Impressive evidence of the progress
of the pioneer American Linen mills
established at North Brookfield, Mass.,
about a year ago Is found In the plans
just completed for extending the plant
Beginning with limited capacity In a
mill that had to be adapted by degrees
to the requirements of the Oxford Linen
mills, the business has grown to such
an extent that plans have been drawn
for half a dozen new buildings, all
larger than the present main mill.
Thn Diana call for an adxlltlon dou
ble the size of the present main mill,
a new stock, storage and shipping
building, weave shed, "oxollnt" factory,
bleach bouse and fiber preparing
house. The two latter buildings will
be In the center of a quadrangle formed
by the other buildings mentioned.
All the buildings will be of re-enforced
concrete. The new weave shed
Is to be a two story building, provided
with overhead lighting by means of a
saw tooth roof containing 875 skylights.
The power plant will be located
well away from the mill building
proper, all the machinery In which
will be, electrically operated. A stock
issue of about $165,000 made In connection
with the beginning of these
extensions was all taken within a
week, largely by original shareholders
In the mills.
The Oxford mill was the first es
tabllshment Id the United States to
undertake the manufacture of linen
products from fiber prepared by the
Mudge process. This accomplishes In
a few hours the work that abroad requires
manj weeks. Judging from
the extensions to be carried oat by the
Oxford mills, there seems to be no
farther reason to question the Immense
success of the undertaking.
Turbina Fans For Amerioan Dreadnoughts.
For the forced draft equipment of
the United States battleships Delaware
and North Dakota twenty-eight
turbine fans, each with a capacity of
24,000 cubic feet a minute, hare been
built at the Troy works of the Sirocco
Engineering company.
Although only twenty-seven Inches
In diameter, the fourteen Sirocco turbine
fans to be Installed on each of
the United States Dreadnoughts supply
330,000 cubic feet of air every
minute to keep the fires roaring under
the boilers of these monster war vessels.
It Is an enormous output for
their small size that has led to the
adoption of this type of fan on all the
principal transatlantic liners, In European
navies and now by the United
States naval authorities. The fans
are built on the same principle as a
steam turbine and consist of a
"squirrel cage" drum surrounded by
rfxty or more narrow blades.

This is a true story. There was not an n

gentleman owned two delightful oooka
spaniels, and they were in the hones. VThi
