THE PHYSICAL CULTURE FAD.

1t has been many years since the
possibilities of the female figure, as
the Creator designed it, have been de-
veloped along true beauty lines to the
extent to which they now are. Every
department of physical culture has
come to the fore until exercise has
become a fad among women. The
oid-time pink and white heroine
would not hold these days at all. The
new era of womanhood has come to us,
fraught with the desire to improve the
earthly temple as tit place for the
soul to dwell in. Plenty of exercise,
plenty of fresh, pure air and whole
some associations are the demands Of
the young women of today. 1t il
much to say that we women have re
linquished unreasonable attire ant
thrown ourselves heart and soul int
the fads of the hour. The woman rid
ing horseback astride will soon bt
scracely more of a novelty than tht
woman who rides bicycle in hel
boomers.

MORGAN ON THE INCOME TAX.
He THINKS the United States Supreme
Court "Blundered' in Its Decision

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April l9.-spe-
ciaL-Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who
is heartily I'm favor Of the income tax.
is rather inclined 10 believe that. upon a
rehearing of the case by the fun supreme
Court, the decision recently declared may
be reversed. Speaking Of the matter to-
day, the Senator said:
1t may sound presumptiOus In me TO
criticisc the court. but 1 think the whole
decision mistake. The court declares
the products of land. such as rents 10 be
Il direct tax. without inquiring thoroughly
into the intent and meaning of the Con-
stitution regarding the imposition OF
direct taxes My own opinion Is that
there are but two forms OF direct taxes
in the meaning of the Constitution. One
Of these is a capitation tax. which the
Constitution specifies and the other a
tax on slaves. The ideas of taxation and
representation, were united in the for
nation OF the Constitution and in the
establishment OF this Government The
Revolutionary war was caused In great
measure by the fact that Americans
were taxed without representation in
Parliament
When therefore. II was found necessary
10. make a constitution as basis for the
government cbout 10 be permanently
established. this idea of taxation based
upon representation, was kept conspicu-
ously i'm the foreground. But at the time,
there were two parties in this country
one a pr0-slavery party and the other
an anti-slaycry party They say south
ern people were anxious that their slaves
should not be subject TO taxation. or In
other words, that slavery should not be
interefered with by Congress. and they
accordingly insisted that some satisfac-
tory provision should be included in the
instrument about 10 be adopted.
The history of the whole formation OF
the Constitution is very clear with re-
gard to this. and fully sustains the inter-
probation or the provision that have
adopted. During the slavery times the
apportionment OF representation was
based upon population. so far as free
persons were concerned. But the negroes
IN the South and the Indians. IN the
West, who were not taxed. were not IN

Court. but from the abstracts which have
appearcd in the newspapers, the Court
seems TO have advanced two propositions
which are totally erroneous. one Is
that the imposition of direct taxes was

prohibit citizen OF one State from
taxing citizen of another. This IS GER

regard were correct. II would apply as
much 10 indirect taxes as 10 so-called di-
rect taxes The other proposition Is that
the consent Of the individual is neces-
sary to the proper imposition of taxes.
Were this also correct there would not
be a tax law in force In the United
States. II. l.. W.
