An Income Tax.

During war times we had what
was peculiarly an income tax, hui
so soon as the clash of arms ceased
the wealthy individuals who paid
the said tax asked, and received of
Congress prompt repeal of the
law. In common with others the
New York World advocates re-
vival of the income tax on incomes
of $4,000 and over and gives the
following reasons:
"The tax would reach
only those who are able to
pay 1t is justified by the protec-
ti0n which the holders of great
fortunes receive from the laws. 1t
is no more inquisitorial than a tax
on personal property or tariff on
imports. 1t is fairer than q tax on
real estate, which is often hard
ship to small merchant, manu-
facturer or farmer, and which by
Infusion increases the rent and
living expenses of the poor out of
all proportion to the benefits they
receive and their ability to pay"

map be new one, will find the
Samoan Islands, but If the map be
one of some years of age, the group
will bear the name of Navigators
Islands.
The group consists of thirteen is
lands in all, but ten of these are
very small and utterly barren.
The largest of the remaining
three is named Sawaii or Pola and
contains 700 square miles, but its
surface is composed of lofty and
barren mountains devoid of flow
ing streams and unfit for agricul-
ture or grazing. Upola the next in
size contains $50 SO. miles and has
plentiful supply of fresh water
and Il fertile soil. Apai its chief
town is the seat of government
and has fine harbor. Tutuila or
Mauna, contains about So so.
miles, and is nearly cut in two by
large bay which forms one of
finest harbors in the South Pacific.
The native population In 1880
numbered about 10000 and foreign
about 500.
The Samoans are, physically q
q fine race, but, like many of the
inhabitants OF the Torrid Zone, lack
industry and perseverance. The
greater portion of the foreign popu-
Iation is composed of American
and German capitalists who own
q considerable portion of the land.
The principal products are cotton,
maize, sugar, coffee, cocO-nuts and |

Child Labor.

4 e -
! The question OF child labor is
discussed by Hon. Henry Dorm,
State Inspector Of Work Shops and
Factories, III an interview publish
ed recently by the Columbus Post.
Mr.. Dorm believes that most Of the
labor troubles, strikes and riots are
due to the supplanting Of men by
chrildren, whose employment tends
to reduce the wages of adults be-
low the paying point and causes
either enforced illeness or nom
rempnerative employment.
He thinks no child should be
permitted to enter shop at an
erlier age than forteen years, but
should be Kept in school until that
periods THIS Is good doctrine II
as Mr.. Dorm says the wages of the
fathers will be proportionally In
creased by the practice.
For ourself, while we do not
doubt that his theory would be
beneit'to all concerned, we think
our labor troubles have much
more serious cause than the matter
of child,labor alone.
When our government ceases to
legislate for the exclusive benefit
of the operator, trust and syndi-
cate and pays some regard to the |
necessities of the laborers many |
of the present ills of the laborers
will cease.

THE SOUTHERN VOTE
Suppressed "In Governor Foraker's
Mind"

The following extract. from thu
Atlanta Constitution WAS published
in the Columbus Post of Wednes
day, and contains some sound
thought and argument:
"The Constitution sent Mr.. Coop.
er, of its staff, to Columbus, o., to
talk with Gov. Foraker, the bloody
shirt statesman, and see just what
he thought about the Southern
question.
Gov. Foraker says the. only
trouble is that the negro vote Is
suppressed in the South. But, un.
til that trouble is removed, he says
there can be neigher peace nor
prosperity-neither union nor
brotherhood. The trouble is, the
negro vote is suppressed In Gov.
Foraker's mind, and not In the
South. The cure, therefore, lies
with him, and not with us. There
was not negro in the State Of
Georgia who did not vote in Nov
ember as freely as Gov. Foraker
did. .=
But Gov. Foraker says there are
ways of suppressing the vote be-
sides the shotgun policy. Toprove
this he instances negro at Au-
gusta who wrote to him that he
wanted to vote, and that to pre-
vent him he was charged with
stealing mackerel, arrested and
sent to the penitentiary. Does it
not occur TO Gov. Foraker that
perhaps the negro really stole the
Just here is the
trouble. Gov. Foraker and his
friends prefer to believe that the
Southern whites are Williams, the
juries foresworn, the judges per-
jured, and the whole, sys-
tenn Of law pernicious and op-
pressive, "negro stole a mackerelw
There is not negro who would |
not write, If he could write, to Gov.
Foraker, that political prosecution
Is behind his imprisonment, and
Gov. Foraker would believe every
one of them and cite them as in
stances of the enormity of the
Southern people. If Gov. Foraker
would only understand that the
whites are as honorable
.s the whites of the nOrth-or event
approximately sO--be would very
soon see light breaking through
The clouds that now envelop him.
In the meantime here are some
POINTS he might consider. In Vir-
,inia the Republicans came within
400 votes Of carrying the, state.

legroes voted in Virginia. They
undoubtedly voted in peace. Now,
vhere was the suppression brought

most varied methods of use is the handiest.
Some things, however. are important 10
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the

The only and east st way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes arc
