FEW ORDERS FOR BLOCKS OF FIVE
Many Subscribers Delinquent for Subscription Have Given no Attention to
. Bills Sent Out Some Time Ago
' During the past week "nothing of
especial Interest has occurred in rela
tion to the-construction-of Liberty
Building. It is how one story high and
the work of construction- is progress
ing slowly. More men could be put o
work to advantage, but we have no
yet felt safe in increasing the pay roll.
The orders for blocks of five have been
comparatively few and we are pro
ceeding cautiously as much depends on
the successful . outcome of the under
taking. ' We have nearly 3,000 cards
left that must be sold before the end
is in sight We gave the figures in
the last Issue and asked for orders to
clear them otit fassoon ; as possible.
Only a few ; have .responded. ;We hope
for better results this week. If you
can dispose .of a block of five sub
scription cards in your locality send
for. them -without delay.
, We have also found receipts from
delinquent ' subscribers less . than. . we
had expected. Several, weeks ago we
sent bill? to . all - who' - are . delinquent
and asked for prompt payment, ex
plaining that we needed the money to
complete the construction r of Liberty
Building. Many seem to have regard
ed the request lightly and of no im
portance. TO those we wish to say
that we did not make ; out the bills
and put two-cent ' stamps upon the
letters to send them out as a mere
joke. .For years we have dealt gener
ously with all our - patrons and have
given time to all "who desired It. Now
that we ! need; ther ; money it would
seem but proper for those who are de
linquent to make an effort to send the
amount due. Don't make it necessary
for us to send you a second bill.
When you send in the pay for your
own subscription why not include with
it an order for a block of five and help
to dispose of the remaining 3,000
cards? . ' t V :' . .:
' If all our readers will put a shoulder
to the wheal and take a pull together
it will be but a short time until all
the cards are sold. ' Send your order
today. Here's the honor roll to date.

The Plan
For many years the greatest need of
The Independent has been a perma
nent location a home of its own.
Once secured, expenses can be re
cuced and the paper made a greater
power for. good and more valuable
and interesting , to : its :: readers. To
build this -home The- Independent. has
asked the co-operation of its readers
in the sale of 10,000 subscription cards.
The cards are printed on regular U. S.
postals and are nut un in blocks
five. Each card is good for a year's
subscription, For the five cards (five
yearly subscriptions to be sent to five
different persons) the charge Is $3.00,
60 cents for each card. The regular
subscription price of The Independent,
is $1.00 per year, and for single sub
scriptions it does not accept less than
that. It is r only -because funds are
needed v for the construction of Liberty
Building that the unparalelled offer
of five yearly subscriptions for only
fci.00 is made.

Taxation in History :
Two significant papers were read
at the recent meeting of the National
Educational association at Minneap
olis, July -7 to 11. Qne by Nathan C.
Schaeffer of Harrisburg, Pa., state su
perintendent of public instruction In
Pennsylvania, on . "Taxation as It Re
lates to School Maintenance," and an
other by Albert . G. Lane, district su
perintendent of .schools, Chicago, on
"Taxation and Teachers'. Salaries."
This may. be politics," but teachers
are Ending out that "politics" vitally
concerns them. Superintendent Schaef
fer declared that as taxation for school
.purposes is now the accepted policy
of . every civilized country, 4ts nature
and purpose should be taught In con
nection with history and civil govern
ment. He said: "One of the highest
test of patriotism is found in; a -willingness
to pay a just share of the tax
for the education of the people."
iet us imagine a history of the
United States which would include a
full and. complete history of taxation
trom tne beginning of our govern
ment, with full explanations of how
the taxes are levied and collected, and
on what classes they rest the most
heavily. What a flood of light would
thus be thrown upon history! Add
this same feature to the accepted his
tories of the European nations, and
what interesting and vital facts would
be revealed. How we would all be
surprised. How were Alexander's,
Caesar's and Napoleon's armies sus
tained? How the SDlendor of glory
and the glamour of romance woul-.l
disappear from the careers of these
and ether great warriors as the facta
concerning the expense of their main
tenance and the source of their funds
would become -known! Our .youth
(and ourselves) should be taught these
facts. Taxation is a vital part of
history, and it is a shame that it has
been omitted so long. School boys
and college students should be taught
the burdens, as well as the privileges,
of citizenship. Have the burdens and
the privileges always been fairly dis
tributed? This Is a legitimate and im
portant inquiry for the student of
history. . '
Here is a little lesson on taxation.
The power of corporations in'" poli
tics is well known. One of the re
sults of that power is illustrated as
follows:
in Pennsylvania the taxation on
farms and homes is, per $1;000. $16.50
On- street railways, per $1,000. . 4.75
On telegraphs and telephones,
per $1,000 3.20
On steam railroads, per $1,000. . 2.75
How is It in other states? How
long do farmers and home owners pro
pose to stand such discrimination?
Let us fully realize that every dollar
ofv just taxation that the. railroads
escape, is shifted to the backs of the
people; and every dollar of just tax
ation that the rich escape, is shifted
to the - backs of the poor. Has thi J
shifting of burdens from the powerful
and rich to the backs of the weal
and poor always been done? Will it
always continue? Will the spread
of intelligence, moral courage and de
termination, and -a v realization by the
masses of their right and their power,
correctrthis evil?-Dr; C. F. Taylor in
Medical -World for "August. :
Put Up or Shut Up
W. B. Price of Lincoln, formerly fr-
sUrahce deputy under Auditor Cor
nell, is evidently getting tired of the'
State Journal's tactics with reference
to Hon. W. H. Thompson. The Jour-
ral charged Thompson with being lo
cal attorney for one of the railroads
running into Grand Island; then a
flat denial from Thompson was pub
lished in the World-Herald but the
Journal has made no correction. It Is
saying nothing editorially about the
matter, but nearly every day quotes
from some country paper something
along the line of its first charge an
echo, in fact, of what it first pub
lished. x Pi ice the other day, through the
columns of the Lincoln Daily Post,
made the republicans a very flatter
ing offer if they have any notion they
are right. He offers to bet $100 against
$75 that W.- H. Thompson is not now
and never has been attorney for any
railroad company, and imposes tirs
condition: That the net winnings shall
be donated to the state university
students to partially reimburse them
for the "Dietrich tax" they were re
quired to pay in order that the neces
sary repairs might be made and the
university buildings be kept up a
matter of about $3 each. This "Diet
rich tax" is so called because it wa3
imposed after and because of the veto
by Dietrich of a legislative appropria
tion of some, $90,000 for repairs ant
improvements for the university. Price
believes that the bet can be raised
to -a thousand dollars against $750,
and a3 he would surely win the re
publican money, he would be able to
donate $750 to the - university boys
who suffered because of Dietrich's hos
tility to our great Institution of learn
ing. -It's
a clear case. of put up or shut up
Secretary Marsh
Heretofore The Independent has felt
that among the whole gang of repub
lican officials at the state house, Secre
tary Marsh. was about the best ofVhe
bunch; but his speech before the Lin
coln young men's republican club Wed
nesday causes a decided change of
opinion. The Independent cares noth-.
Ing for the glittering generalities in
dulged in by Mr. Marsh or his sweep
ing accusations about fusion . confu
sion and all that it is certainly his
privilege to be as bitterly partisan as
he. wishes. The fusion administrations
speak for themselves. No other have
ever reached them in the matter j
economy; and those who have visited
the Institutions under different admin
istrations know that as to efficiency
tae fusion officers and : employes have
never been excelled. . Under any and
every administration there has been
more or less wrangling, but Savage s
Beatrice difficulties will offset those
of Poynter, and there never was any
thing under the fusion administration
that approached the sneaking resign
tion of Malallieu at Kearney.
What The Independent does object
to is plain, every-day. lying and Mr
Marsh indulged in that freely In his
speech. Among other things, he said;
"The present administration has had
no - larger appropriations to run our

Dr. Bourneville, the great French
psychological specialist, has actually
succeeded In discovering an unfailing
cure for idiots and is doing phenom
enal work in ameliorating the condi
tion of abnormal infants and adults.
The results' of this humanitarian's
work in the Medico-Pedagogical Insti
tute at Vitry, France, Is the all-abeorb-ing
tonic in medical circles on the con
tinent. The wonderful results of his
cure have gone the round of the press
and of magazines during the' past
months. Dr. Bourneville is receiving
letters every day with crested headings
Imploring him to do something for
some young scion of a royal house.
The writers want . ther physician to
come- to, their castles, but to all these
entreaties there is but one reply:
'Send your child to Vltry." To mix
ywith the plebian crowd- in ;the Vitry
institute is a sacrifice which patrician
pride is not always willing to make,
so that most of the inmates belong to
the proletarian class. Dr. Bourneville
said in an interview a few days ago:
"Nothing has been left undone . to
bring speech and hearing to the deaf
mute, and' everybody knows of - the
marvelous results obtained in the cure
of the .blind and in their education,
which relies mainly on their fine sense
of touch." Dr. Bourneville is noted
especially for what he has done for
Jacques Menoda boy from Marseilles,
16;years old. It'ls difficult to imagine
an. uglier monstrosity than young
Jacques, even , now after Bix .jnonths
scrupulous treatment. Jacques looked
like a wild gorilla when he was
brought to Vitry last winter. The
mouth was . abnormally large, with
.saliva dropping in generous quantity
"oyerVthe thick, sensual lips. His hair
grew over his forehead almost down
to his eyebrows. He was ever groan
ing and grumbling and refnsed to walk
or stand up. so that he had to be car
ried jtll the time, though there was
nothing the matter with his legs or
spine. . Jacaues was even lower .than
the ape. in that he. would not. stretch
out his hands to seize his food. He
had to be fed like an infant and then
almost by force. Once his eyes were
attracted by some bright colored ob
ject in the room or garden and he
would sit and stare at it for hours, nor
could he be induced to fix his atten
tion elsewhere. If left to himself this
wretched "being" would surely perish
from starvation. As If by a miracle
from heaven Jacques has been put In
his right mind and in a few months
will be sent home entirely cured, to his
nappy parents in Marseilles. He is
now learning the carpenter's trade,and
he will be apprenticed as soon as he
returns home. How has all this been
accomplished? Dr. Bourneville says
that he has not uttered a harsh word
to Jacques nor punished the , boy at
any time for' disobedience or trans
gression of discipline. First, there
was a .week of patient observance of
his peculiar form of idiocy, and a daily
examination of the malformed, organs
He was treated as at home, fed with
a spoon, conveyed into the garden in.
a rolling chair,, left to mutter and stare
at will and at night carried o bed. .His
nurse in all details gave him maternal
care. In the case of Jacques. Dr.
Bourneville determined that massage,
followed by a special gymnastic course
was the best treatment, for his diag
nosis revealed that his form of imbe
cility was traceable mostly to an im
perfect development of the facial.
manual and pedal lineaments and
other peculiar deformities . contracted
before birth and permitted to .become
aggravated by ignorant nursing. El ec
trie and medicated baths were also
prescribed by the doctor. It was
weeks before Jacques could stretch out
his arms and months before he could
stand up without assistance. As to
feeding Jacques his fondness for cer
tain delicacies were soon ascertained.
These were finally given to him at ev
ery meal, but only when he would
reach out his hands for them. Curious
musical instruments attracted the pa
tient's attention. The only time when
he was known to smile was .when the
doctor would play on his violin.
Jacques soon learned to walk from his
room to the farther end of the garden
if he wanted to see and . hear the doc
tor play. After three months Jacques
fed himself, could walk and talk and
dress himself. Then began a slow
course of gymnastics, while Dr. Bourne
ville left nothing undone to reduce
the abnormal . facial formations by
. massage and the mental restoration by
the pestalozzian method of instruction.
The latter method consists in object
lessons, the garden and the streets
and the rooms taking the place of
books.' -

into each other's - keeping, chance to
find themselves alone together and
safe from the. eyes of others. For the

at once she could think of him only

a matter of course. Her ftngers closed
over the horn-handle and that haunt

his eyes aglow with mixed up love and

hasVon such love from a woman that
she kisses handles for his sake, he has
seen his Austerlitz; let him beware
lest he live too long and so look upon
his Waterloo." .
