my belief in the principle which underlies
the income tax. Congress should have au-
thority to levy and collect an income tax
whenever necessary, aud an amendment to
the federal constitution specifically con
ferring such authority ought to be support
ed by even hose who may think the tax
unnecessary at this time. In the hour Of

Administrations Policy.

The position taken by the Republican
leaders, and more recently set forth by the
Republican candidate for the presidency
viz: That we cannot protect nation from
outside Interference without exercising soy
ercignty over its people. is an assault upon
the Monroe doctrine, for which this argt-
ment is at this time directed against the
proposition to give TO the Filipinos both
independence and protection, it Is equally
applicable to the republics of Central and
South America. If this government cannot
lend its strength to another republic with
out making subjects of it's people, then we
must either withdraw protection from
the republics to the south of us or absorb
them. Under the same plea that the guar
dian nation must exert an authority equal

for centuries exploited their wards, and 1t

The Little Minister

Charles Frohman's company will present "The Little Minister" the comedy success of the century, at O'Briens opera house tonight The play has made a marvellous impression the theatergoing public not only attracting people in crowds to the houses in which it has been presented, but making them feel that there is more heart anything that they have ever seen before. "The Little Minister is a comedy written by J. M. Barrie, and founded on his popu- lar novel of the same name. The love story of Lady Babbie" and the quaintly humor- ous characters of the village of Thrums- the twin charms of the book-are delight fully represented in the play The play ex- hales the same exquisite heart-winning at mosphere that pervades MT. Barrie's pages The comedy ran for 300 hundred nights in New York, turning away people from every performance. This is no idle statement, it is a remarkable fact; not a single night during the entire season run of the piece in the Metropolis, did the curtain go up on the play that every last inch of standing room in the house was not taken. The New York triumph has been duplicated everywhere, and it would seem that ''The ters as long as it lives It is a beautiful play, in every way, and Charles Frohmans name in connection with the production is guarantee that it is all that theatergo- CTS could desire,
