There is growing sentiment through out the country for reduction of federal taxes, especially i* the matter of the surtax. ' Secretary Mellon thinks this tax Should be cut 25 per cent, and Senator Underwood comes out with a proposal to make the reduction 13 per cent. At the same time Senator t’nderwood would cut down on income taxes. When the present income tax law was passed by Congress Secretary Mellon op posed it on the ground that surtaxes were the ones that should be reduced. Men of wealth, lie pointed out, were unwilling to create business enterprises so long as the government came along and took a bulk of the profits. It was right, we believe, for the re duction to be made as it was made for the benefit of the masses, but the time has undoubtedly come when the govern ment can afford to give attention to the matter of cutting down on the surtax rate. ' And at the same time more attention should be given to tax-free securities. There are many people who think all se curities except government bonds, should be taxed, and hat tax-free government bonds should be. .r interest at the rate of only about 3 per cent. Secretary Mellon is a multi-millionaire and it was natural for him to sponsor tax laws, that would benefit wealthy men. but at the same time he is in position to discuss sensibly tax questions from the viewpoint of the rich man. He says: “Aside from the question of justice, experience shows conclusively that if taxes are too high the source of revenue diminishes and the tax becomes less and less productive. Ways will always be found to avoid a tax inherently excessive and America presents no exception to this rule of taxation.” With leaders of both parties giving much thought to the matter and with the leaders generally agreed that some reduc tion should be made, although they do not agree on the amount, it is only reasonable to expect Congress when it meets in De cember to give this surtax question the consideration it deserves. AS A JUDGE SEES THE LAW. In his charge to a grand jury in Meck lenburg county several days ago Judge James L. Webb toucher! upon the babit officer* have fallen into of shooting at autos when they wunt to search the car or arrest the occupants. The officer has no right to shoot in the direction of an auto, Judge Webb Tules, unless he is trying to stop a person known to be es caping as a felon. “Police officers have no right to shoot at‘ or toward citizens unless the latter are known to be' escaping felons, or else shoot in the defense of their own lives,” I Judge Webb said. This means that the officer who shoots at, tires, pr even in* the direction of an au wlfgtir •. hauling V selling classed'as a felon by either thWStatfor the federal laws. Therefore the oflßfcr cannot even shoot at an auto *** f o%* Charlotte News rays editorially I that the riding of Judge Webb “is worth' knowing” and that it “furnishes a meas -1 ure of reassurance to the.- unoffending cit izens, as he travels the highways of the State, that officers cannot, within their rights, turn a gun in their direction” pro vided the officers are acquainted with the law. -For this reason the News wisely sugggosts that “department chiefs have the law framed at headquarters through out the State so' that officers may avail themselves of the easy opportunity to know their duty in the premises*’ , * And there is another point well worth considering: Men should be chosen as officers only when they are kpown to have common sense and judgment. The big, strong man does not always make the' btst officer. A man may be without fear and without discretion at the same time. The time was when the only qualifications needed by a police officer were size and brute strength. That conception is wrong, alert, men are wanted as officers, 1 men who are not afraid to make an ar rest, but. wfw at the same time, have common 6ense. enough not to overstep their rightq,,.' ."V,". ROWAN PRISONER ' * ’ , ’ IN MECKLENBURG Shack, Alleged Assailant of Mrs Little, Near Death. Charlotte Observer. ' Fearing development of violent n.oL : sentiment against Joe Shack, who tried ! to commit suicide after failure at crim- j inal assault upon Mrs. Roscoe O. Little.; according to Salisbury advices. .Sheriff Jim Kridcr spirited the nearly dead negro ■ man into the Mecklenburg county jail ; about 12 o’clock Saturday nignt for safe keeping. With a bullet hole entirely through his head, the negro hung between life I and death in a prison cell here yesterday ,aud last night, the doctors, agreeiug he had no chance for recovery. Sheriff Krider told Deputy Sheriff J. B. Pharr, in charge of the jail, that feeling was running strong among the men in the Little neighborhood—on the Singles ferry road near Salisbury—but that #o far as he knew there had been no design to storm the Rowan jail. He decided to take no chances, how ever, and loaded his unconscious prisoner on au ambulance, bringing him to Char lotte. The assault is said to have taken place at the Little home Saturday morning, following the negro's having been dis charged from, his work on the farm the day before. Mr*. Little, mother of several small children,’ vl-a-i *aid>» to. hfiVe been handled by the man until her sci*eafn« attracted neighboring women, who came running to her rescue. The negro then released his hold on Mrs. Little and ran into the house, it is said, where he secured Mr. Little’s revolver and returned to the door and fired at Mrs. Little, failing to touch her. He then returned into the house and shot himself, dispatches state. The bullet hole leads from the right to left and evi dently pierced the brain, doctors say. He was lying unconscious in his own blood when Sheriff Krider found him in the Little home Saturday morning. He continues in that state and is not ex pected to regain his senses. Shack was employed by Mr. Little as a farm hand until Friday, when he was released for being lazy and not at tending to his duties. Tile Little home was reported as be ing entered by an intruder Friday night. The burglar was frightened away before any of the family saw him. but it was suspected, in view of later developments, that Shack was the intruder. Doctor McLaughlin said last night, after an examination, that Shack was holding his own. though he did not see how the man could continue living. It looks very much as if the bullet went through Shack’s brain, he said, in which case it is surprising that he did not die instantly. Never Pay Money to a Stranger. Monroe Enquirer. A Monroe citizen a few weeks ago was picked up by a book agent to the tune of sl2 in good hard cash. Our citizen subscribed for a couple of popular mag azines and u set of books from one G. W. Lewis, who purported himself to be representing a New York concern. The books and magazines have never been re ceived, and letters to the company are returned, no such company being at the place addressed. Well, my advice to all and sundry, who would subscribe to slick book and magazine agents is to take ’em on the extortion plan—pay- for ’em after you get 'em. Also be wary these latter and degenerate days in parting with good coin of the realm when too good and attrac tive offers are made. “Introductory Price,” “For Advertising Purposes.” and “Prominent Citizen” stuff are all old gags, but 'the ones for which most of us fall in purchasing high-brow goods. Good thing to remember: “You can’t get something for nothing.” and “Qual ity is remembered long after price is for gotten.” German Court S*a r s Judges May Go to Sleep When Bored. Berlin. June 13. —A judge who wns found napping has given rise to o far reaching controversy in Germany. In the 'course of events this question was re ferred to the German Supreme Court at Leipsic, which came to the strange de cision that his honor may safely take his little judgment it is his body, not his mind, which is the principal factor con cerned. As was to be expected, this decision, has again evoked heated discussion among the best known jurists in the country. Prof. I Goldschmidt, the ’egal authority at the Berlin University, ex presses his opinion thus: “One cannot expect a judge to give his individual attention to the proceed ings He is obliged to sign documents, to receive messages and to answer numer ous whispered questions dufing the trial. But if it is positively proved that he has been asleep, the case becomes prohibitive, for sleep signifies loss of consciousness, and also irresponsibility.” After *ai exhibition abroad Mbfc Summer* "Amm?

DINNER STORIES j A Grave Question. A western governor had lost one• es ( his colonels, and there was an unseemly scramble for the office, despite the fact that the colonel's body was awaiting burial- One of . the ambitious candidates went so far as to call upon the execu tive and ask: “Governor, have you'any objections to my taking Colonel Smith's .p>ee?”. , ( “No,” the j governor replied com placently. “I have* no objections if the undertaker is twilling*”,, ’ - 1 Reason -For His Mirth. ’ “You should always be-; exceedingly careful ” about your conduct,” said Johnny’s mother, giving him a moral lecture. “I want you never to do any thin which you Would be ashamed to have the whole world see you doing.” 1 The youngster let out a whoop of de light and turned a handspring in his exuberance. *.

The tops ofthe plants, which had served as a pasturage for the pest,* were en tirely destroyed, and with them Mr., ■Perkins’ hopes of a crop. HO was not selfish, however, and could think of others in the hour of adversity. Ip the afternoon he was accosted at the post office by a friend. | “Hello, Perkins!

I could tell you everything that's in it.” “Ah. indeed.” And the minister smiled. “Do tell me then.” “Sister’s beau's picture is in it. and ma’s recipe for vnnishin' cream ; s 'n it. and a lock of my hair cut off when I was a baby is in it, and the ticket 'for pa’s watch is in it.” An elderly gentleman who bad never seen a football game was persuaded by a young enthusiast to attend one of the grindiron contests. “Now." said : the'young fellow as the game wns about to start, “you will see more excitement for a couple of dollars than you ever saw before.” “I have my doubts about that.” re plied the elderly gentleman. “That’s all my marriage license oast me.” CROSSWORD CRAZE OVER? New York Evening World Says “Yes,” and Drops Feature. The New York Evening World this week stopped publishing crossword puz zles. a feature it had long promoted. “We believe the craze has definitely subsided. ”.T. F. Breshanan, business man ager. said in explanation. He declared the Morning World was now considering whether or not the puzzle would also be dropped from its pages. Action of the Evening World takes on significance in view of the fact that the New York Holiday World was the first newspaper in the country to start print ing crossword puzzles. The idea was or iginated by the World editors iu 11112. “In our opinion," Mr. Breshnahan fur ther said, “he puzzles have lost their cir culation value. We decided we could ob tain more value from the space they oc cupied through use of other features.” The New York World syndicate will continue to offer its crossword features. ••■■■ tw—r. ■ I- 1 -- ."• , : == FEELSrrSHERBUTY TO TELL OTHERS ;She Thought There Was No Relief For I Her.—HERB JUICE Restored Her to Normal Health. ‘‘Your HERB JULpjj! saved the day for , nie.

CHAPTER IX— Continu'd It waa a tact that.'our Indians had shown in many ways of late that thoy were weary of thetr Journey and anxious to return. We realized that Zamh? spoke the truth, and that it would ha impos sible tor him to keep them. ‘’Make them wait dll tomorrow, Sambo,” I shouted; “then I can send letter back by them." “Very good, sarrl I promise they wait till tomorrow.*' said the negro. “But what I do for you now?" There was plenty for him to do, and admirably the faithful fellow did it First of all, under our di rections, he undid the rope from the tree-stump and threw one end Ot it across to us. It was not thicker than a clothes-line, but it was of great strength, and though we could not make a bridge of it, we might find it invaluable it we had any climbing to do. He then fastened his end of the rope to the package, of supplies which had been carried up, and we were able to drag it aerdss. This gave us the means Os life for at least a week, even if we found nothing else. Finally he descended and carried up two other packets of mixed goods—a box Ot ammunition and a number of other things, all of which we got across by throwing our rope to him and hauling it back. It was evening when he at last climbed down, with a final assurance that he would keep the Indians till next morning. And so It is that 1 have spent nearly the whole of this first night upon the plateau writing up our experiences by the light of a sin gle candle-lantern. We supped and camped at the very edge of the cliff, quenching our thirst with two bottles of Apol linaris which were In oa• of the cases. It is vital to us to find Water, but 1 think even Lord John himself had had adventures enough for one day, and none Os us felt ir'-lined to make the first push into ..is unknown. We for bore to light a fire or to make any unnecessary sound. Tomorrow, (or today, rattier, for It is already dawn as 1 write) we shall make our first venture into this strange land. When I shall be able to write again—or if I ever Shall write again—I know not. Meanwhile, ? can see that the In dians are still in their place, and I am sure that the faithful Zambo will be here 1 presently to get my . letter. 1 only trust that it will come to hand. P. S. —The more 1 think the more desperate does our position seem. 1 see no possible hope of our return. If there were a high tree near the edge of the plateau we might drop a return bridge across, but there Is none within fifty yards. Our united strength could not carry 'a trunk which would serve our purpose. The rope, of course. Is far too short that we could descend by it. No. our position Is hopeless—hopeless! CHAPTER X "The most Wonderful Things hav.e Happened” ■ The most wonderful thing* hare happened and are continually hap pening to us. All the paper that ( possess codslsta of five old note books and a lot of scraps, and I lave only the one stylograph!© pencil; but so long as I can move my hand 1 will continue to set down our experiences and impres sions, tor, since wa ara the only men of the whole human race to see such thipga, it is of enormous importance that { should record them Whilst tliey are fresh In my memory and before that fate which seems to be’co-stantly impending does actually overtake us. Whether 3ambo can at last take these let ters ts the rbrer, or whether I shall myself in some miraculous way carry them back with me, or, finally,' whether some daring ex plorer, coming upon our tracks with the advantage, perhaps, ora perfected monoplane, should find this bundle of manuscript, In any case I can see that what I am writ ing is destined to immortality aa a classic of tru® p,dye,fltqxa. On the morning after our being trappefi upon tbfi plateau by (he vil lainous Gome* we began a new stage in our experiences. The first Incident In it was not such as to give me fi favorable opinion of the place to whiph we had wahdered. 4s I roused myself from a short nap after day had dawned, my fiyes fell upon a most singular ap pearance upon my own leg. My trouser had slipped np, exposing a few inches of my akin above my sock. On thlfi there rested a large, purplish grape. Astonished at the Sight, 1 leaned forward, to pick *t elf. When, my; horror. It burst wqiurting blowup layer? MjrecUhn. cry- of ’difiyujit had broujffit the two : profedaora to my side.' “Most interesting,” said Bum merlee, bending over my ' shin.

The very small Inconvenience ot being bitten, my young friend,' cannot, I am sure, weigh with you *as against the glortotu privilege of having your name inscribed in the deathless roll of soology. Unhap pily you have crushed this specimen at 4>e moment ot satia- ‘ M ,' : •' x . "Filthy cried. Professor Challenger raised hie sr«*t wj%owe in Mg plans# a soothing paw u *»* Wl shoulder. "You should cultivate the scien tific eye and the detached scien tific mind,” said he. “To a nun ot philosophic temperament like myself the blood-tick, with Its lan cet-like proboscis and its distend ing stomach, is as beautiful a work ot Nature as the pea&ock or, for that matter, the aurora borealis. It pains me to hear yoh speak of it in so unappreciative a fashion. No doubt, with due diligence, we can secure some other specimen." “There can be no doubt'ot that,”" said Summerlee, grimly, "for one has lust disappeared behind your shirt-collar.” ' > \ Challenger sprang into the' air bellowing llkk a bull, and tore fran tically at his coat and shirt to get them off. Summerlee and I laugh ed so that we could hardly help him. At last we exposed that mon strous torso (fifty-four inches, by the tailor’s tape). His body was all matted with black hair, out of which jungle we picked the wan dering tick before it had bitten him. But the hushes round wore full of these horrible pests, and it was clear that we must shift our camp. But first ot all It was necessary to make our arrangements with the faithful negro, who appeared presently on the pinnacle with a number of tins of cocoa and bis cuits, which he tossed ovef to us. Os the stores which remained be low he was orders# to retain as much ns would keep him tor two months. The Indians were to have the remainder ns n reward for their services and as payment ?or taking our letters back to the Amazon. Some hours later we saw them in single file far out upon the plain, each with a bun dle on ibis head, making their way back along the gfith we had come. Zambo occupied our .little tent at the base of the pinnacle, and there he remained, our one link with the the world below. And now we had to decide upon our immediate movements. We shifted our position from among the tick-laden bushes until we came to a small clearing thickly surrounded by trees upon all sides. There were some fiat slabs of rpek in the center, with an ex cellent well close by, and there we sat in cleanly comfort while we made our first plans for the invasion of this new country. Birds were calling among the fo liage—especially one with a pe culiar whooping cry which was new to us —but beyond these soundi; there were no signs of life. Our first care was to make some sort of- list of our own stores, ee Challenger ... tore frantically «i his coat and shirt. that we might know wtfat vie had to rely upon. What with the things we had ourselves brought up trad those which Zambo had ahnt across on the rope, we were fairly well supplied. Moat important of all, in view ot the dangers which might surround us, we had our tour Hfie» and one thousand three hun dred rounds, also a shotgun, but not more than a hundred and fifty medium pellet cartridges. In the matter of. provisions we had enough to l*«t fpr sera&H weeks, with a sufljciepcy of tobacco and a few sclentli|c implements, In cluding a large telescope and a good fleld-glaea. AB these things we collected together in the clear lng, and as a fiat precaution, we cu * devjn with ojur hatchet and number of thorny bushes, against .sudden' danger guard-house for our, stores.
