While in Bedford county he was engaged in the undertaking business. He is survived by his wife and four children. The following paper was read by William Lauder, of Biddleaburg, at the convention of school directors held in Bedford last week: In presenting this paper let me assure you that I have no intention of advancing any theories or entering into any discussion of the subject of taxa" tion. Briefly as possible I want to draw your attention to some features of taxation affecting our interests as school directors. Under the present laws the per capita tax is SI; it abrogates the occupation tax and no matter what a man's income ly be, if he dots not own any real or personal property, his tax for school purposes cannot be more than SI.

The occupation tax was in effect in 1854 and limited also to SI. There may be taxables in the townships who have incomes varying from S500 to 83,000 per annum, paople who move from the country into towns in order to obtain educational advantages for their children, most of whom we know are wealthy, yet they secure all of the advantages a conumn school for SI par annum. The state and county reports show that it cost for educating every child in our county in the year 1902 S8 35, and this is exclusive of building tax. While the same law governs, the ccn- ditions vary in every township. In some there may a farming and fixed population, in others a floating and irregular one; therefore, the results are different.

The township that I represent is one of the latter class, where tenants form a large percentage of the population who are being benefited by the public schcols at the cost of $1 per lUnum. While it is true that the state should afford a free education to all within the commonwealth, does there not seem to be an injustice to the industrious, hard-working man who owns his own home, who not only pays his per capita tax but also a tax on the value of his property? The result is that real and personal property must be taxed heavily to pay to educate the children of tenants. In some instancas I know even the payment of SI is a hardship, but the boards have the power to exonerate those who are poor and unable to pay or where the collection of this tax would be a hardship. With this provis ion, should not this tax be increased? The collection of this tax is very difficult; we lose every year from 20 per cent, to 40 percent, of the total amount and this is largely due to careless and incompetent assessors. Men of this olass com? and go.

Collections can't be enforced until late in the year and then there will always be some hesitation on the part of the board in sending a man to ill as it costs more than it is worth and the average director does not care to assume this position-it is easier to exonerate. taxes are a fl'st lien upon real estate, should or should they not be also upon labor? In this case taxes would be paid promptly. Broad Top is the only mining district in the county and along with other mining districts in the state we are the first to feel financially the effects of the enormous immigration of the past few years. Upon us falls the burden of educating the children of foreign parents who have come to our shores to seek a livelihood. If you will examine the statistics of the state reports you will find the largest number of schools, the longest terms and the highest rate of school tax in the ing districts of this state.

Last year we had to spend 820,000 for new buildings to provide for the increase in population and it is very evident that in the near future we will be obliged to make still further additions. The parents of fully 10 per cent, of our school children are of foreign birth, non. citizens and under the law non-taxable. If these people receive all of the blessings and advantages of an education costing as already stated S3 35 per child and the benefit of a free government, should they escape taxation? They earn the same wages as our own citizens and yet are immune from taxation. Corporate interests and owners of property complain of taxation anc when I tell you that our tax rate las' year on a full valuation was 83 65 for state, county, road and school purposes there is good reason for complaint.

But what can we do? Under the com pulsory law we are bound to educate these children Oie of the ill effects of immigration is thrown directly upon townships of this class. The counties of Lackawanna and Luzerne, which you all recognize as the largest pro ducers of anthracite coal in this state are evidently in the same position, fo their tax rate for school purposes alon is between 11 and 12 mills. This qaes tion is becoming a very important an serious one to counties and township so situated and if continued much long er the maximum school rate with th present distribution of the state ap Ig BuroDgh'a Board of Health Is Alert and Expects to Speedily Stamp Out Disease.

When a town is thus faceted the authorities should always ake prompt and drastic measures to urge it. Nothing is to be gained by mcealing the facts.

The Constitution of 1874 provide that not less than one millicn dollar shall be appropriated annually for th public schools of this state.

This min imum was the maximum of legislativ generosity from 1874 to and includin 1S87. Previous to 1874 the annual a propriation to the common schools wa very much less than the minimn amount fixed by the Constitution. 1 1887 after some agitation the appropr ation was increased to 81,500,000 an for two years the public schools eeived this amount. In 1889 the legi lature increased it to 82,000,000 and th remained for two years, when, in 189 (Continued on Third Page.) SMALLPOX AT EVERETT. A WEEK'S Happenings of the Past Seven Days.

WASHINGTON, March 8 --Another tep iu the exploitation of the Philipine islands will soon be taken by this Republican administration. True to he instincts of graft and loot, the administration, instead of proceeding it- elf to the building of railroads, in- ends to let out the privilege to capital this country and guarantee to that spital the interest on the investment.

other country is opening laces for the investment of capital nd guaranteeing to the capital im- from loss. They propose to utbovize the Philippine government execute a legislative guarantee cf 4 er cent, per annum on $40,000,000 of onds for railroad construction in tiose islands aud the bill will be in- roduced this week by Chairman ooper, of the house committee on nsular affairs. The bill will bar out oreign capital so as to give the capi- alists of Wall street the monopoly of liegame. This administration has been ersistent in its efforts to get the good eople of the country to believe that he Wall street interests are dead gainst it, for political reasons and or political effect. Does this move ook like it? If Secretary Tsf thought hat it would hasten the civilization nd education of the islands to con truct railroads therein, why does not he government engage in the businecs tself instead of paying capital to do so? would be a grand object lesson in the ownership of railroads and mblie utilities for the government to ndertake this enterprise.

Instead of hat the administration sells out to the Wall street sharks and guarantees hem immunity from loss and a sure eturn on the capital invested and in eturn they will get a handsome cam- aign contribution. This is the way his thing looks to a man who is on he inside of things at the national apital, and I think I have "called the arn." It has never occurred to these xploitars, grafters and looters that Uis legislation will clearly ba uucon- titutional. But what in the name of 11 that stands for graft does the Re- ublican party care about the Consti- ution? When the Constitution stands a the way of anything a Republican wants to do, he simply steps on it and mashes it in the mire. Until the oters of the country realize that hey have it in their power stop his sort of thing it will continue ad bitum ad infinitutn. When will they ee the drift and get busy? They are having much apart at the epartment of state over an inelastic 'revision of law which requires that eptrtment to compile and issue in eparata volume the statutes enacted each session of congress.

The pecial session of last November enact- only one measure, a joint resolution roviding for the payment of mileage the members. This is bound up, however, in a dignified little volume itself with as much elaboration as it were a collection of budget bills nd general legislation. That simply a straw that shows what the Repub- ican administration will do when it makes up its mind to get busy oa any ild subject. It calls an extra session the congress and has it in session or a month without a single result Not one thing of benefit to the people and at a cost to them of over two hun- red thousand dollars. That is the way the Republicans conserve the in- erests of the people.

Hon. John Sharp Williams, flior elder of the Democracy in the house if representatives, has introduced a 411 for the relief of the sufferers by ire at Baltimore by rebate of duties on building material and suspensicn of Certain internal revanue taxes. By so doing he has again put the Republicans in a whole, soaped the sides and pulled up the ladder. If they refuse to ms the measure they will go up igainst a precedent established when Chicago fire occurred in 1871 and rob many honest men who have been unfortunate. If they do pass it they will admit the Democratic contention that the tariff is a tax and the tax is paid by the consumers )f the country and not by the foreigners, as maintained by them.

They are tip against it. This bill cuts both ways ike the nigger's coon trap. It catenas them a comin' and a Let the galled jade wince. A short time ago it was my good 'jrtune to meet Robert FullertOE, disbursing agent i the 85,000,000 contributed by the United States government to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and in speaking of that great jnterprise to me he said: Francis, the president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition company, is best example of the strenuous life that our country affords--he has the energy of a Napoleon and the diplomacy of a Hay. He can dine with the of England without diluting his democracy and negotiate with the American plumber without losing his temper or getting the worst of the bargain; he is equally at home in the palace or the log cabin; he belongs to no union, but has worked day aud night for two years without compensation to make the world's fair icmplete in all departments by the first day of May, 1904, his only rewarc the success of the enterprise and civic pride in his city and state.

He is ably assisted by men pre-eminent in their several departmentb.famous architects and artiste; experts in electricity, master mechanics in engineering, pro fessors in every department of agriculture and the useful arts; nothing in all the range of human endeavor has been neglected. The world's best work can be seen at the world's fait this year, housed in the most magnifl cent palaces ever built for such pur p-ises. The student will have the rare privilege of attending an international congress of arts and sciences and listening to lectures by the most learned men of every civilized country in the world--an opportunity which every young college graduate in our country should take advantage of. The inventor and mechanic will see the latest and best in mechanical in jenuity and get new ideas not found books. The artist and architec will see a superb picture of beauty an harmony.

The citizen who delights in. foreign travel can see more strange sights and people in a ten days' visi to St. Louis next summer than can b. seen in a two years' trip around the world. The farmer will find objec lessons that will show the possibilities in his calling thai will inspire him to improved methods, with the assurance of richer rewards, and the yonng an old on pleasure bent will have mon kinds of entertainment at this world' fair than they ever dreamed of, am can count on the best time of thei lives.

15. Childhood. By c. F. B.

For back to my childhood How gladly I go, From shadows to sunshine, Through sorrow and woe; From Time's bitter trials, Its strifes and its paiu, ttiT-n tn mjr My mother, again. Ay! there 'mid the clover, The white and the red, 1 drink iii as nectar The perfume they shed; Where the wee buttercups, All golden and white. Enthralled all my senses With joy and deligbt. And adow 11 by the spring The wooden bench stands, Uncouth and misshapen, By grandfather's hands; Where, 'oft in the summer, Asleep, I would lie And dream, it may be, 'Till whipporwills' cry. Or listing the mueic Of bees in the hive, That ladened with honey, Each moment arrive; Toplace their sweet burdens Within the white comb, Rejoicing and welcomed, As wanderers, home.

The old mossy bucket Still lies where it fell, My father drank out of, My mother, as well; With bale bent and broken, Its hoops red with rust, Aud its thick oaken staves Molderiug to dust. It is back to such scenes My heart ever turns: These joys of my childhood It sacredly urns; And then from the twilight Of Age, bleak and hoar, I return to the joys Of childhood once more.
