In Senegambia the natives constructed a crude mufical instru-
ment. They called it the kama. It was the first parent of our
modern banjo.
We used to associate the banjo with the American negro.
As an instrument to accompany the crooning darky lul-
labies, or for the happy-go-lucky 'cake-walks," it seemed only
to be fitted.
Of late the banjo has nsen in dignity. Skilled artists have
played it before huge and enthusiastic audiences. Banjo
orchestras have been organized, and have had great success
playing modern dance music. Tne banjo is coming into its own.

INCOME TAX DIGGER
THAN HIS INC05IE' certificates that are 90 per cent
London, April 9.—That a man
should pay more money for income
tax than the total of his income seems
the limit of taxation. This is said
j to be the plight of a well known Brit- j
rsh peer, who was born an American;
and became naturalised in England j
• some years ago. His property is in
I the United States. Being a British
! subject he is compelled by British law
l to pay income tax on all, his revenues
from all sources and the American
law compels payment of income tax
| on all his income from American prop-
; erty. Being a multi-millionaire, his
j income is subject to every super-tax
by both governments and the two
taxes are said to amount to more than
one hundred per cent on the income.
Thus, this unfortunate nabelman must
pay out of all of his” receipts and dip
into his capital to defx-ay current
taxes and after defraying this first
charge, use more of the capital for
living expenses.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
The great benefit derived from Cha-
mberlain’s Cough Remedy has been
gratefully acknowledged by many.
Mrs. Benjamin F. Blakeney, Decatur,
111. writes, “Chamberlain's Cough j
Remedy is by far the best medicine
for colds and coughs we have ever
used in our family. I gave it to my
children when small for croup and
have taken it myself.”
You may not believe it. But it is
better to be born with a steel spine in
your back than it is to be born with a
silver spoon in your mouth.

uel Gompcra of the American Federa-
tion ot Labor:
“At Mineral Wells I asserted that
labor unionism, Socialism and Bol-
shevism were working hand in hand,
and were practically identical in that
they all fostered disregard of law*,
force and anarchy. I notice Sunday's
press features an answer from Samu-
el Gompers wherein he merely asserts
that I confess an utter incapacity of
understanding the plainist proposition
of right, justice and freedom and de-
mocracy.
“As this issue thus formed atfects
vitally 110,000,000 people, 1 urge pub-
lication of the following undeniabie
facts forming part of the basis for
njy assertion:
“1. Comparing Mr. Goniper's de-
mocracy with my own, he represents
3,000,000 men whose slogan is ‘For
ourselves only,’ while I have deeply at
heart the welfare and interest equally,
not only of Mr. Gompers* 3,000,000
union men, but also the other '107,-
000,000 people of the United States.
“2. In war, with soldiers fighting
in trenches knee deep in mud, the four
great brotherhoods forced Director
McAdoo to pay them $700,000,000
raises, through later threats they for-
ced Director Hines to pay them $65,-
000,000 additional increase, all of
which has come out of the pockets of
the people through increase of freight
and passenger rates and abominable
service.
3. The unions have forced *Oirector
Burleson to allow them the raise de-
manded for all telegraph employes,
and will shortly force him to accede
to the demands of telephone operators
and the people will suffer with poorer
service and higher cost.
“4. Although demanding and ob-
taining industrial exemptions reliev-
ing them from fighting in France at
$33 per month, unions have forced
wage schedules up to $1 per hour,!
with time and a half for overtime, col- j
lecting $11 per day for ten hours’!
work, and the Department of Labor
certifies that during the war, front |
April 6, 1917, to Nov. 11, 1918, there j
were 6,000 strikes by unions, averag-1
ing eighteen days’ duration, and o>t
critical occasions President Wilson
was forced to command them to return
to work.
“5. When Congress proposed to
make the 240,000 Government clerks i
drawing salaries up to $2,500 work
eight hours per day during the war,!
before they received the $120 bonus
demanded, Mr. Gompers said that it!
was damnable, and through threats !
of marching on the capitol, and crip-
pling the Government by walking out,
unions forced the President to veto |
the law, and thus they got their $120 1
bonus and continued to work only sev-1
en hours, and upon Mr. Gompers’ de-1
mand Congress lately allowed and |
said the temporary war workers in
Washington not affiliated with Mr.!
Gompers do not get it. Said 240,000
employes are allowed thirty days’ va-;
cation on full pay, thirty days addi-
tional on doctor’s certificate on full
■pay, all fifty-two Sundays, every le-
gal holiday, half holiday each Satur-;
day during summer, and on all special j
occasions.'
“6. Wrhen Generai Crowder said it
would be unnecessary to draft the 18- !
year-old boys, as he was going to ]
make all men either work or fight, j
Mr. Gompers refused to let the work *
or fight order apply to organized la- j
bor and thus forced 670,000 lb-year-
old boys to be drafted, ln Texas and
elsewhere Mr. Gompers has threaten-
ed that he woud never permit war- |
time wage schedules to be -reduced, j
and because of his assertion that
speedy demobilizations wolud have a
tendency to reduce same, we find 500,-
000 soldiers in our camps here abso-
lutely idle, held without reason, cost-
ing millions per day, simply because
Mr. Gompers is against speedy demob-
ilization.
“7. While the Bolshevik Lenin
threatens tnat unless we release the
convicted traitoi and murderer Moon-
ey, Mr. Gompeis’ unions threaten a
strike unless we comply with Lenin’s
demand.
“8. Likewise,Lenin from Russia, de-
mands that Debs be released, and un-
ions again threaten strikes unless we
comply.
“9. Forty-five states have ratified
national prohibition, which is made
a part of the fundamental law of the
land, yet Mr. Gompers’ unions threat-
en a Nation-wide strike on July 1
against the Constitution. The 175 un-
ions in Chicago are demanding of |
Congress the re;*al of prohibition.
“10. Since March 11. unions have
paid bakers in Washington $25 per
week to picket the Raleigh hotel there,
telling good mothers and daughters
who enter that they are not decent,
if they enter tne Raleigh Hotel, where
