ROANOKE BANKS NOT ErrEorEp.

The circular issued by the Treasury
Department yesterday as published in
another column will fall like thunder
bolt upon hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of banking institutions throughout
the country. Certified checks and clear
ing house certificates have been issued
in very liberal manner for the past
few months, and that too by many of
the strongest and safest banks in the
country.
In the extreme stringencY of financial
affairs, owing very largely to the hoard
ing of money, these issues have been
made to serve very important pur-
pose. If tax Of ten per cent. is to be
placed upon such substitutes it will
practically drive them out of the mar
ket, as that rate has already done to the
State bank issue.
1t seems exceedingly unfortunate at
the present time, now that the banks
are lust recovering from the crisis, that
such action should have been taken, as
may, for while, create another un-
easy feeling in banking circles.
Roanoke banks are exceedingly fortu-
nate in having no such issues on their
hands. They have not, as has here.
tofore been stated in THE TIMES,
yielded to that too prevalent practice of
issuing certified checks or even clearing
house certificates. Nothing but cur
Fency has been paid out, and they will
not be directly affected by this order.

Commissioner I.ochren has issued
q statement which shows that bo-

Ont Administration took formal pos.
session OF the Pension Bureau, and
July lst. 1903 original certificates
Of Ill kinds had been issued. or
these 2,S54 wero invalid certificates
under tho act OF Juno 81, 1853, and
p,O93 widows certificates under said
act. Making n total OF 1897 origi.
pul certilicates issued under that act
foe the first three months OF Demo.

were issue 1900 additional pensions
under tho net OF June 81, 1885,. Max
Ing q grand total OK 1866 certincat, 9
issued under that net during the first
three months OF Democratic control
OF the Pension Bureau. Tho total
number OF original certificates of all
kinds issued during tho fiscal year
ending Juno 30, 1892, is l2l,G!s, of
which 99,207 are under tho act OF
juno %. 1890. Also pa issued TO
army nurses. There zero also issued
during tho past fiscal year 1903 GER
tiiicatss granting additional pensions
under line act OF Juno 81, 1890. Dur
ing tho fiscal year ending juno 30,
1892, wcro issued 222,207 origina, err
titicates, and the net increase to the
rolls OF l99,9Oa.
AS tho total number OF certificates
issued during the fiscal year just
closed is but l21,G2S it would seem
that l0O,G69 loss certificates had been
issued for tho fiscal year Of 1899, than
for tho fiscal year OF 1885,, and as the
loss TO tho rolls during the pnst fl chi
year, from death, remnrriage, e o.
will amount to at least 10000, it will
DO soen that the net increase to the

A New York Herald Editorial.

The story that the New York Herald
property is to be turned into stock
company and capitalized at 100000
was a ridiculous one. The Herald is
worth five times $2,O00,000. 1t seems
that the absurd report was started by
Reuters news agency, and an editorial
In The Herald the other day, evidently
inspired by Mr.. Bennett himself, states
that unless a categorical denial of the re-
port be made legal proceedings for libel
will be instituted.
The editorial referred to is breezy
one-thatis to say, for The Herald, which
turns out rather dull editorial page as
a rule. Mr.. Bennett says:
The Herald today is at the height of its pros
perity, and any syndicate having for Its sole
object making money could easily earn per
cent on S20,0OO0G0 by taking off extra expenses
for special cabling, reducing the extraordinary
salaries of $4,000, which some members of The
Herald staff receive, cutting down also some
Of the $4,000 and $1,000 salaries and curtail-
ing many Of the 5000 salaries, besides numer-
Gus other economies that would at once be ef-
fected supposing The Herald to be simply a
corporation like an ordinary railroad or fac
tory.
The present proprietor, it is true, has In view
the formation of a cooperative society, but
one for the sole benefit of the members Of The
Herald staff, including the general manager,
city editor, news editor, night editor, all edi-
tors, correspondents, reporters, artists, cashier,
clerks, foremen press and composing rooms,
proofreaders, compositors, printers exchange
readers, shipping clerks, telegraph clerks, ad-
vertising clerks, messengers, porters flremen,
machinists-for they are all Sembers of The
Herald staff, are they not?-and not for any
stock jobbing or speculative purposes, as has
been done so often in England and America.
This cooperative society may be formed at
any moment by the proprietor whenever he
thinks proper.
AS to the withdrawal Of Mr.. Benefits
name from the title page, it is intimated
that the name of the paper and its own
er are synonymous. AS to the names of
Messrs. Rowland, Reick and Henderson,
the general manager, city editor and
night editor respectively, Mr.. Bennett
says they were "placed there by the pro-
prietor because he reserves the privilege
of selecting his own executives and de-
sires credit to be given where credit is
DUE"
All of which does credit to Mr.. Ben
nett. Time was when he did not feel
that way-when he would allow no
ones name but that of his own on the
title page. The man who does not change
his mind never corrects his mistakes.

An Income Tax.

1t is reported that the next congress
is opposed by the influential press of the
east and favored by many of the news
papers and statesmen of the west. The
Idea Of graduated income tax is also
popular in the south.
Those who oppose this idea claim that
it would impose burden only upon the
comparatively few who have themselves,
by their greater ability, energy and en-
terprise, gained wealth, while at the
same time contributing to the riches,
power and dignity of the nation. They
claim that it is an unfair tax and can
not be successfully defended ON any
ground. Further objections urged are
that it would be a most fruitful source
of lying, as the untruthful would avoid
payment by making false statements of
their income.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton. An income tax can be defended
on the ground that it will secure wider
diffusion of moderate welfare, and it
will act as a leveler, smoothing off the
extremes of poverty and wealth. In all
questions of this kind the feelings and
the rights of individuals must be sub
servient to the general welfare. We
make laws forbidding the shooting of
game and catching of fish at certain sea-
sons; they may be unjust to the individ-
ual, but they are benefit to the mass.
So likewise we grant franchises and
often benefit individuals, although it is
not done for this purpose, but to sub
serve the welfare of the many.
The question of an income tax must
be considered from the same standpoint
not as to it's effect upon the individual,
but its effect upon the people at large.
An income tax has been levied by the
United States but once In its history,
the necessity for revenue caused by the
civil war. An act passed in 1861 created
per cent tax on incomes of $500 per
annum and over. The rates of taxation,
IIle ttulOuuIS VI uue llCOlues ldAeti, anu
the proportion of the income exempt
from taxation, were averaged by various
acts, till in 1879 it was abolished.
During the 10 years the law was in
operation nearly $35O,OOO,OOO were col
lected. There is no particular need of
such law at the present time to raise a
revenue, but 1t is the right and the duty
of the government to do everything that
lies in its power for the general well
being even to the extent of sacrificing
the individual.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-06-15

In conversation with Congressman
Henderson, of North Carolina, Post
master General Bissell announced
that the rule requiring charges to be
preferred in order to secure the re-
moval of fourth-class postmasters
would hencefort apply only in those
cases in which the incumbents had
not served four years. This rule is
somewhat broader than those hereto
fore laid down by the postmaster gen
eral; and will doubtless be resented
by the opposition organs as another
Democratic outrage" Yet there was
ample warrant for the new rule in the
reason assigned by Mr.. Bissell-the
amount of time consumed in investi.
eating the charges. And even with
this freer swing Mr.. Maxwelrs ak
cannot hope to break the record of
decapitations established by the late

TRULY ASTONISHING.
Is the Growth and Hold of the Tobacco
Habit in This Country.


Habit in This Country.
Much has been said of the curses of
intemperance, the use of opiates, etc,
while another evil, greater because it is
more widespread and quiet in its deadly
results, has been ignored. We have
reference to the tobacco habit, to which
the public mind is being slowly aroused.
Tobacco in any form is injurious. At
first it is used sparingy, but the desire
grows until at length habit has been
formed, demand has been created
which cannot be thrown off except by
the exercise of the greatest will power.
The growth of this habit is one of the
alarming Developments of the age.
Such large percentage of the men of
today use tobacco in one form or another
that the may be said to be universal.
Out of 10000 men not over 400 will be
found who are free from it, while boys
who are not out of their teens stand
around on the streets chewing and smok-
ing with as much gusto as an adult.
The evils which follow the use of to-
bacco are many and very serious. Few
habitues will confess the truth until
when their system is broken down and
completely wrecked, they are unable to
make further concealment. The nerves
become shattered, sleepless nights, i'm
paired eyesight, disordered stomach,
vertigo, palpitation of the heart, throat
trouble, facial neuralgia, cltarrh and
paralysis are almost certain to follow the
excessive use of the weed.
| 1t is not uncommon to hear men ack-
nowledge their inability 10 reform and
thus they drift along towards an early
grave. DR.. Hill, man of great pene-
tration, soon discovered this evil and af-
ter years of patient continuous research
and experiments, gave to the world. his
celebrated chloride of gold tablets, one
of the greatest blessings known to mod
ern therapeutics. These tablets are en-
dorsed by the medical fraternity and pre-
scribed by physicians in their regular
practice. They are a sure cure for the
tobacco habit in any form and are pleas
ant and harmless in their composition.
The patient is not required to exercise
his will power, but continues his old
habits until he rejoices in the discovery
that his appetite is gone and he has
been rescued from his perilous position

And the Winds Blew.

Though winds blew great guns, still he'd whis-
tie and sing,
Says the poet. But it is often difficult
to keep up the courage and good spirits
that way when signboards are flying,
roofs are becoming animated, trees are
giving up their precious branches and
electric wires become delusion and a
snare to pedestrians.
The violent and destructive wind
storms of recent date in various sections
of the country are unwelcome disturb
ances. The ultimate cause of the wind
is to be found In differences of atmos-
pheric diversity produced by the sun in
its unequal heating of different localities.
But atmospheric circulation is as neces-
sary to health as sunshine or rain. Aswe
cannot prevent it if we would, and we
would not if we could, let us be as phil
osophical as may be while keeping build
ings and signboardssas secure as possi-
BILE. Probably the worst of the wind
season is past unless abnormal weather
should continue, which is unlikely.
