Though the subject of limited and class
building income-tax has been shelved for
a while by the Supreme Court. 1t is inter-
suits consequent upon the decision of the
Court which rendered collection of the tax
levied by Congress utterly impossible. The
results. of course appear differently to
those who advocated the tax and those who
opposed 1t. In the July Forum both sides
OF the case are presented by two lawyers of
erninence who were engaged in the litiga-
tory contest which preceded the wrecking

the income-tax decision" while Assistant
Attorney-General Whitney talks with all
seriousness Of "the political dangers that
follow necessarily, If his views are correct,

etor Edmunds finds cause for congratula-
ton In the fact that the great architects
and builders Of this government knew
"that the rule OF taxation should and could
not safely be left to the unlimited caprice
or prejudice or selfishness of mere majori-
ties represented in Congress-" therefore the
judicial department of the government was
made specially Independent of the changing
fashions and policies Of any and every

Except In extraordinary cases-the health
officer to be the judge-there should be no
"roping-off'' of streets because Of sickness
If this city's highways were paved with
cobblestones or Belgian blocks as in Bal
timore and other cities where noise is
deemed essential to a reputation for great
commercial industry. then there would be
propriety in temporarily stopping traffic
along squares on which sick people reside
but when it is borne in mind that nearly
all our thoroughfares are paved with
smoothly-laid asphalt the argument in
favor of ropes and white flags and Ian
terms necessarily vanishes. In a communi-
cation wnich appeared in yesterdays Star
it was made evident that the ropes and
their Accomplishments are not necessary,
the desired quietness being assured by a
combination of smooth street-surface and
two signboards inscribed "Sickness-Walk

ing boards have been perfectly satisfactory

sore need. He says that the whole range
Of voluntary social and business activities

stated 1t, to uniform and equal taxation,

taxation by the just and safe rule or.gi-
anlly declared, according to representation.
The great popular victory is. in fact, that
the essential principles Of the peoples gov
eminent of equal rights and equal duties in
its management and progress are re-estab-
lshed
Mr.. Whitney insists that the situation is
wrapped in much gloom. He is evidently of
the opinion that the Constitution has been
warped out Of shape, and DESTROYS that
there shall come speedily such constitu-
tional amendments as he believes to be
really necessary. He seems to lave lost con-
fdence In the Supreme Court. Prior to the
decision which he discusses, the court held
in Mr. Whitney's opinion, position almost
unique and far apart from political conflict
like the speakership of the British House
of Commons" rs it now" asks Mr.. Whit
ney ito develop into something more like
the Speakership OF the American House of
Representatives." He believes that the
latter will be its destiny If. often, at time
of high feeling and amidst newspaper
c!amor. it reverses past decisions and aban-
dons principles of constitutional construc-
ton inherited from ancient times. In the
destruction Of the continuity of the court
in the reasoning which segregates the nine
judges of today from the nine judges Of
thirty years ago-Mr. Whitney finds cause
for alarm. For if the income-tax errors of
justices long dead may be reviewed by their
successors, there may also be review of de-
cisions as to national banks, the control of
commerce and legal tender notes, while no
ogical objection could be offered to lat
ter-day inquiry into the constitutionality Of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
Mr.. Whitney's argument, therefore, is that
wealth, "for the present moment released
from small pecuniary assessment" will
lose in the end by the new gospel Of insta-
bility.

The Unyyise and Injurious Policy of
Secrecy.

Supreme authority On Washington is
lodged in three Commissioners, the only
practical appeal from whose rulings and
course of action is in Congress itself,
which is slow to act and no. always ready
to listen to a popular grievance. Not being
indebted to the people of the District for
their offices it might be supposed that the
three Commissioners would feel independent
ard would carry on reforms unhindered by
the interests of local political bosses. This
has been true in many instances. and some
of the great improvements about this city
are due to the fact that they were car
ried through without the voice of an Oft
time miSled and too conservative a public.
On the other hand, the Commissioners
often act as though the knowledge that
they are not Indebted to the people for
their positions is strongly supplemented
by the knowledge that they are not an
swerable to the people for their conduct.
Just at this present time the three gentle
men who are the autocratS of the District
are acting as though the property owners
and the citizens in general have no right
to know what is being done in the way of
conducting the affairs of the city and Dis
trict The three Commissioners have de-
cided that newspapers are menaces to good
government, and therefore should not be
allowed to print the actions OF the District
administration. They have revived the old
English star chamber method of doing
business and have established a censor
ship of the press wach prevents the publ
cation of any transaction of this august
board of Commissioners except that which
the board decides is healthy for the public
to know. This autocratic power has been
sufficient to close the mouths of all sub
ordiSates. and it Is much as his position
is worth for a clerk to SO much as mention
to a newspaper reporter he most trivial
happening about the District Commission
ers offices. There is one power the Com
missioners are subservient to. however. and
that Is the chief executive. the President
of the United States, who holds the power
to appoint or to dismiss any or all Of these
gentlemen. 1t Is natural that they should
seek to please this great power and to
this desire Is attributed the recent order
with regard to newspaper reporters being
allowed access to the news of the District
administration. This secretive policy of
the board Of Commissioners has added con-
siderable strength to the suffrage move
ment in the District

Washington owes 1t to these uniformed
people of the country that II participate in
such affairs as the Atlanta exposition, to
the end that the public mind may be I'M

course there Is another and an equally
good reason why the District of Column
b.a should have an exhibit at Atlanta and
wherever else individuals and communities
join to show how rapidly our civilization
advances. The commission in charge of
the District exhibit which is to be part
of the Atlanta display has decided what

cational. literary and artistic life at the
national capital. Contributions to what

will be an exhibit of the work of the pub
lie schools, an exhibit of rare and historic
relics connected with colonial and revo-
lutionary times, an exhibit of the works

literary products OF Washington writers
and an interesting contribution from the
Women's Peace Congress. To box, ship
and display the aggregate exhibits will
cost almost, if not quite. three thousand
dollars. ard as Congress made nc appro-
priation of municipal funds to defray the
expense 1t becomes necessary for indvid
ual Washingtonians to contribute to the

Zens have consented to serve on the finance
committee; they and the newspapers of the
city will receive subscriptions.

Washington has suffered considerably
frcm the dread disease Observation-Disclosures
nrum'' and even now has few cases of
the d.stcrtipg malady in its midst, but it
need not fear the coming of that dread
sccurge-'the bicycle face"-which seems
to have caused much Of alarm in New
York and Philadelphia. Kyphosis-bicyclist-
arum is a composite scientific term indicat
ing curvature CT the spine as developed by
those riders of the wheel who insist upon
high saddles and low handlebars and who,
when approaching the observer, seem to
have their faces set we'll down in their con-
cave chests. Bicycle face is the
name which has been given to the painful
ly-tense features of large majority of the
riders In Gotham and the Quaker City.
First among the dogmatic statements as to
this affection was the announcement that
the facial change was wrought by the seri-
BUSINESS of wheeling effort; most of the
riders devoting themselves intently to
rapidity of motion over long distances.
Tren it was insisted that the physiognom-
icai alteration was due to concern born of
the Indifference to wheelmen's rights on the
part of pedestrians, vehicles and the city
authorities The Philadelphia Press says
that one of the chief causes of bicycle
face in the City of Brotherly Love Is the
extremely bad character of so many of the
street-car crossings. Then" says the
Press, after the badly-laid crossings come
the asptalted streets where the asphalt has
risen from it's bed and folded itself in
Jumps, humps and waves, as if an ocean of
n,olasses and tar under the fury of storm
was suddenly concealed. The length of
these solid waves is such that they catch
the bicycle either in the hollows or the
submits and the jolting is Of an unusual
and terrifying character" It will at once
be evident to all intelligent persons that the
bicycle face has no more chance for getting
It's grip en- Washington than plains In
dian has of acquiring dyspepsia. Our adj
vice to the sufferers In Philadelphia and
New York is to migrate to Washington
where asphalt is laid fiat and stays fiat,
where street cars run on grooved rails the
upper surfaces of which are level with the
street itself, and where wide thoroughfares
and the almost complete absence Of heavy
grades render existence Elysian to the
wheeling enthusiast.

of the month has been the importation
and sale to rebels at Atua of rifles and

not as yet been fairly sifted, enough is
known to convict German commercial
firm in Apia of importing 113 Snyder
rifles and large quantity of ammuni-
ton, contrary to the Berlin treaty and
the local arms ordinance.
These guns and ammunition and some
cartridges were sold to Atuan rebels.

hollowware casks and paint tins. and re-
packed in the store of the merchants
mentioned. A portion was landed in

The imperial German consul, Herr
Biermann, took immediate steps in re-
gard to members of the firm of Frings &
Spatsy and CaptSin Laffings, who had
arms. Frings, Spatsy and Lafings were
fined the maximum penalty of $50
marks, and the partners were compelled
to deposit with their consul the amount
of cash they had received, about 81 200.
In addition to this, the guns at SARAH
were secured, and later on were re-
shipped to Sydney, from whence they
originally came. The three Samoan
chiefs at SARAH, who seized for the gov
