a committee Of the Philadelphia board
of education has stricken from the list of
books to be used In the girls high school
Victor Hugo's masterpiece Les Misera-
bles," on the ground that it Is impure.
There are probably few persons entitled
to be called well read of either sex, who
have not read the wonderful story, without
being any the worse for IT, It is, of
course, to be desired that bad books shall
be kept out OF the hands of young girls,
and boys as well, and there should be no
hesitancy in condemning books which are
communicating in their influences. But ev-
cry book that contains matter which
might be called suggestive is not a bad
book. Very many of the finest works in
literature turn upon social sins. David
Copperfeld is such a work; yet what pa
rent would deny a child the privilege Of
reading 1t? Fifty others might be named
Of-hand. As a matter of fact, the Holy
Bible itself would not escape condemna-
ton if prudery governed in the room of
common sense

StIII They Come.


Col. ]. Thomas Scharf, the Chinese in
epector for the southern district of New
York, whose resignation was sent to the
Secretary of the Treasury some days ago,
and which took effect yesterday, says that
the Chinese exclusion act is a farce and
has resulted in the corruption of the treas
ury department.
This is a very serious charge against the
treasury department, and yet Col. Scharf
appears to have no doubt of his ability to
sustain it. He resigned because he was
not sustained in his efforts to enforce the
law. He has made charge after charge
against officials who, he SAYS, refused to
discharge their duties In connection with
the law, but he has never succeeded In
having any one of them removed. The
conclusion he reaches is that the authori-
ties at Washington We're not anxious to
have the law enforced. He said a day or
two ago that he had good reasons for be-
lieving that men In the employment of the
government are making as much as $4,000
a year each by permitting Illegal importa-
ton of Cinnamon.
He alleges that Cinnamon are admitted
into this country all along the Canadian
border and at the ports of New York and
Seattle. According to his estimate there
are seven times more Cinnamon in this
country than when the exclusion act went
into effect The number coming In now
is about eco a month. A year or two ago
$3.50 was charged for bringing a Chinaman
In. Now he Is brought In for sl1O, show
ing that it is much easier to bring him in
now than it was for a time after the eX-
clusion law was enacted. From the fore
going it appears that $4,000 month Is
paid by Cinnamon for getting into the
country and Col. Scharf says that the
greater part of this sum is paid to gov
eminent officials.
The Canadian Pacific railroad makes
great deal of money by importing China
men and, assuming that what Col. Scharf
says is correct, it is active in protecting
those government officials who wink at
the violations of the law. The railroad
has influence in Washington, and that
may be the reason why Col Scharf found
it impossible to have any of the offend
ing officials discharged.
There is no doubt that Col. Scharf has
been earnest and active in his efforts to
have the law enforced, and his disgust,
because of his inability to keep China
men out of the country, is not to be won
dered at. But what is to be said of an
administration which deliberately winks at
violations of a law which was enacted be-
cause public sentiment demanded it and in
support of which the people are almost
unanimous?

Two Notable Addresses.

The address of Secretary Gage at Peoria
on the occasion of the laying of the cor
ner stone of the Bradley Polytechnic In
stitute a few days ago, and more recently
the addresses of Chauncey Depew at Van
derbilt University, Nashville, in comment
Grafton of a gift to the university of a
life-size statue of Commodore Vanderbilt
its founder. were notable for the strong
arguments they contained in defense of
wealth and combinations of capital. They
condemned severely the demagogic out
cry against the accumulation of great for
tunes and against corporations and trusts
They both showed that combinations Of
capital are necessary for the carrying on
of the great enterprises which are under
taken in these tmes-that they are the
result of evolution, the natural outcome
of existing conditions in the economic
world.
We have already called attention and
commented on some of the leading feat
ures in the address of Secretary Gage.
Mr. Depew. IN the course of his address,
said;
After years of controversy, of hostile
legislation, of corporate abuses and their
correction, both by law and by investors.
the necessity for the combination of the
capital of the many into the corporation
TO carry on enterprises involving vast
sums to build and operate was recognized,
and the temperate judgment of the time
has accepted the situation by placing cor
porations under proper governmental SUI
pervision and control.
i \
riches has turned to deep distrust of ac-
cumulated wealth, and yet the number of
such people is now so large that 1t would
be impossible for any one to WELD the
power for good or evil which was common
generation ago The agltator ignores
the resiStless strength of universal suf-
frage and forgets or denies the experience
of the pasta The same sense of justice
and capacity for government which has
impelled the people to minimize the dan
gers and increase the benefits of corpora
tons will seize and solve in the best in
terests of the country the problem of COM
binations and trusts"
We do not say there are no evils to be
apprehended from trusts and other com
binations of capital. There are evils, be,
cause these combinations are like indi-
Viduals, they will grasp all they can, but
the law making power is in the hands of
the people, who will insist upon such re-
strictions of the powers of combinations
as will make it Impossible for them to op-
press the masses. The demands of ex-
listing conditions. however, make combina
tons of capital necessary. No amount
of agitation can destroy them, because
the people recognize the fact that great

Mrs. Bancks went to the door, and yelled

about eagles and mountain lions, do you?"
NO But my wife does. All summer 1

A Popular Commission.

There is no doubt that the city council
would do a popular act by restoring 10
the park and tree commission control of
the parks and trees and giving 1t a small
appropriation with which to carry on It's
work. Although the commission did not
show much business ability in handling
the funds at It's command, there is no
question that 1t did admirable work. The
time it had control Of the parks and trees
was short, but it accomplished enough TO
give it a warm place In the good will of
the people.
1t changed Colonial park from a grue-
some. dilapidated and unsightly grave
yard to a pretty park which is an orna-
ment to the city. It greatly improved and
beautifed Forsyth park, which, as a place
of resort, is much more poular than ever
before. It may be that the commission
did not use good judgment in selling the
park railing instead of putting it around
Laurel Grove cemetery, but 1t would not
be fair to expect no mistakes from a com
mission of five men.
The commission changed Oglethorpe ave
nue. greatly for the better The tree plant
ing and the making of the underground
of that avenue into a handsome grass plat
are notable and highly appreciated pieces
of work
The commission spent a considerable
sum of money in doing what it did, but
we believe that the popular belief is that
the money was we'll spent.
It is regrettable, of course, that the
commission did not take an inventory of
its assets from time to time. If it had
done so it would not, in all portability,
have become bankrupt and been forced out
of business. Had there been less faction
al feeling at the time 1t found itself with
out resources the chances are that it would
have been given another appropriation
an appropriation sufficient to keep in re-
pair the work it had already done.
While it will not be quickly forgotten
that the commissions were created against
the wishes of a large portion of the peo-
pie, 1t is a fact that the park and tree
commission was desired long before any
of the other commissions were thought Of
1t is also a fact that it has been a popular
commission. The people realize that if the
parks and streets are to be beautified
there must be a uniform plan of improve
ment-a plan that must be worked out
through a series of years No such plan
is possible without a commission. There
fore, 1t seems to us that the city council
would do both a wise and a popular thing
if it should make a small appropriation
for parks and trees and request the park
and tree commission to resume its duties

light colored. He was for many
years clerk of court for Beaufort county,

factory service to the public. He used to
be-. and probably is still, as highly respect
ed by the white people of Beaufort as any
colored man in the community. fIe has
long been the editor of the New South

ate and courteous, devoted to the uplift-

worse for the public service

A novel suit is before a Missouri court.
The city Of St. Louis has brought suit
against one Mccain for taxes on per-
sonsl property. The defense, which is
based upon the bill of rights" clause Of
the Missouri constitution, is that neither
the city nor the state has the right to
tax personal property. Ii is argued by
the attorney for Mccain that personal
property, being the gain of personal in
dustry should not be subject to inter.
ference by tax. Its owner is entitled to
enjoy it, free from all restrictions as to
use or jurisdiction by the state, but 1t can
not be held inviolate If its possessor must
pay duty on it, 1t is further held that
the only proper and just method of taxa
ZION is land assessment and taxation, and
revenues from public franchises. This
case Is Of especial interest just at this
time because the ground of the defense
practically embraces Henry Georges sin
