A failure in one of the penalties pro- Nided in connection with the income tax law is pointed out by the Philadelphia Ledger, which says: If any man with an income between $3,50O and $4,OOO should fail to report to the collector of internal revenue he need not worry about the penalty to be imposed. He is required to make report, but the pen alty for neglect provided in the act does not reach his case. Fifty per cent. is to be added to the amount of tax ascertained to be due. But 50 per cent. added to nothing makes nothing, and that is all that the individuals with in- comes between $3,5OO and $4,OOO can be made to pay if they should neglect to make returns.

With due respect to our good friend, Editor Bross of the Ridgefield Press, we think his position as to libel law is rather amusing. We do not think he needs to wcrry about the laws be- ing too Emuch in favor of the newspaper. That's where the trouble is, the present statute in Connecticut is apt to work against the newspaper editor. What we do want is a law making it misdemean- or for anyone to furnish an untruthful item to a newspaper editor. It is possi- ble to impose on any editor, no matter how careful he may be. But give us a measure that will head-off those individ- uals, who under cover, and in sneaking manner, seek to get revenge at the ex- pense of someone else. The newspaper editor who does not "exercise extreme care in gathering essential facts before exposing wrong doing" is the exception, especially in Connecticut. Isn't this SO, MT Bross?

Walker rendered very creditably the musical DOT | tion of the service, including new T. Deum. The anthem solo by David Hickey was especially good. It is ex pected that the choir on Sunday nex | will be assisted by a soprano soloist iron out of town. The Easter decorations l this year were more than usually at tractive at Grace church.

 At the annual meeting of Grace Churcl parish on the evening of Easter Monday | after the customary election of officers
 the question of pa-ochial support wa ! considered at some length. For nun l Der of years the current expenses hav
 been met by the ordinary contribu tion on Sundays and special quarterly offer | ing every three months. These hay,
 been found generally sufficient to provid l for the responsibilities assumed by tn parish without the assistance of an, l pledges pew rents, or subscriptions
 Now the time having come when tn parish seems called upon to undertak some new and additional obligations. was urged that to do so on any othe
 basis than an assured income was con
 trary to sound financial principles. Tn ! meeting therefore voted to ask for plede
 es of monthly contributions for parochia ! support from the members of the paris and all interested in it's maintenance
 This new system is to be carried int
 effect as soon as possible.
