THE SAILORS UNION FIGHT.
A Man Who Claims He Was Brutality
Treated Boarding House Case.

The Sailors Union and boarding house
men are still at swords points and both
claim 10 be ahead In the race for vic
tory. A sailor named Henry Stratford,
who was shipped from this city a few
days ago 10 the ship Guardian. has got.
ten into trouble and claims that lie WAS
harshly used by the ships officers. He
claims that the mate. whose name Is An
derson. had ut in for him." and would
have killed him had he remained on
board the vessel. He says the crew was
ordered about like cattle and the men
called vile names. Stratford made UP his
mind to stand It no longer and left the
ship. He was arrested in Everett and
released on haheas corpus.
The ship owners positively refuse TO
sign union men and say they will tie
their ships up rather than be bullied by
the union.

prietors OF the non-union boarding house.

of Paddy Glynn, secretary of the~Sailors'

What with her complications with Ven
ezuela and Nicaragua, France demanding
a plain statement OF her intentions on the
upper Nile, discomfort with her arbitrary
and oppressive policy in Egypt, and the
United States likely to call her attention
to the principles enunciated in the Monroe
doctrire, together with increasing proba-
bilities of a general war in Europe, 1t be-
gins to look as though England will soon
reach point in her career where she must
decide whether she will take the back
track In her bullying system of territorial
extension or take the risk of coming in
contact with one or more of the first-class
powers of the world. When that time
comes 1t will not be difficult to foretell the
course she will pursue. Strong as she Is
apparently. in some respects, there is no
other country on earth so weak in other
respects as she, and this her ablest men
very well know. although the average
bullying Englishman believes her to be in

fact that IN her aggressive policies with

It was high time that the gates in the
rear of the White House should be re-
opened so that the public may Use the walk
tina. passes through the southern part Of
the grounds as thoroughfare; for which an
order has just been issued. That path
way has for many years been a great con-
vepience to thousands. but more especially
to clerks in the State, War and Navy build
Ing. who could thus pass from the Avenue
directly to their work in the morning, and
so save considerable time. But certain
prudential reasons interviewed to prevent
this generous and sensible use OF the walk.
and in obedience to the orders Of the Fresi-
dent the officer in charge Of the grounds
closed the gates. One of the reasons was
that the children of the White House used
this place for a playground. and there was
fear of abduction aroused by the continual
presence of people of all sorts within few
rods Of the mansion. Then, too, the sentry
box episode indicated a certain amount of
personal alarm on the part Of the Chief
Executive himself. So the bars were put
ur and the common herd was shut out.
But now there is no reason for these pre-
cautions. Tie children and the President
are all out at the country mouse. and there
Is no more reason for the exclusion of the
public from this convenience, which was
enjoyed for so many years without let or
hindrance. The sentry boxes have been
taken away and scattered through the
parks; tie White House guards have been
mustered out of active service. 1t was quite
right to let down the bars and give the peo-
pie chance to avail themselves of priv
ilege that had almost become a right. and
that should never have been abridged.

Some of those advocates of the inquisi
torial income-tax who were not so long ago
unmindful of the unfair distinctions drawn
by the law are now much exercised be-
cause the Supreme Court has added to the
number of distinctions and, by its recent
decision, has exempted from the operations
of the statute incomes derived from rents
and bonds So long as the law aimed to
assess nearly all of those who. by reason
of fortunate circumstances or superior
ability enjoyed incomes greater than four
thousand dollars. those who now complain
had nothing to say. but with new sub
division - constitutionally correct - comes
demand for the speedy demolition of a
law that now, according to everybody's
admission, taxes some of the people to
the detriment of others. The discovery Is
in no sense remarkable, for that was all
the income-tax law ever pretended to do
Those who believed otherwise deceived
themselves. Inequitably-based taxation
can only result in the formation of classes.
and there cannot be rational debate over
the undesirability of classes-other than
those founded upon intelligence-in a re-
public. Just as the person who holds the
majority of stock in a corporation right
fully insists upon control. so would the
contributors to tax upon thrift and sue
cess have all the logic on their side in de-
handing that their privileges in the mat
ter of government should bear close rela-
tionship to the financial prominence forced
upon them by a practically-populist Con-
gress.
By exempting rents and bonds and thus
throwing the burden of the income tax
upon the producing classes of the nation
the Supreme Court has merely accentuated
the unjust, negotiable and discriminating
features that are inherent in such a law.
BY carrying these features to their logical
extreme the law has been made universally
odlous. 1t should be promptly repealed by
the incoming Congress.
