DANcERoUs TEACHINGS.

In recent issue of The Tacoma l (Wash) Sun Democrat we find the fol- lowing:
 The reason for long working hours is the greed of gain. and they never will be materially shortened until the time comes when Congress will designate the and child shall labor. There is one thing. however. that is getting to be fully nderstood-something that papers afraid to admit-nameIy, that if all idlers, rich ands poor alike, were put to work. everything that is. necessary for c9uld Pe nSv tronhe h itb sH this scheme is that if the hod-carrier and the banker each worked the same number of hours per day there would not be that social distinction which exists at hours a day and the other ten.
 One of the fundamental complaints of all anarchists is that governments are oppressive, and one of the demands of both anarchists and socialists is that the government shall take charge as it were of the social, political and industrial in- terests of the people, regulate their hours of labor. fix their compensation and thus become the superintendent and supervisor of the peoples private af- fairs. These people teach that d gov ernment which fails to give the people everything they want is tyrannical and with such a government they are at war To teach that the government under which we live IS an enemy to the people Is one of the first steps in the road to violence. The next step is to abolish such government. and the next to as- sassinate those in power. In short, a government which is not the tool of all dissatisfied men and women must be overthrown, and the way to overthrow it is by the death of those who admin ister its affairs. This Is a natural sequel to such arguments as we have quoted from the Tacoma paper.
 The further intimation of The Sun Democrat that all should be put to work and that all men should be placed on the same level is but anothet phase of that form of socialism which inevitably ends m anarchy. Some men have advan- tages in the way of wealth, intellect and in social standing that others do not have, and 1t is impossible to bring the latter to the level of the former, there fore the higher should be palled down to the level of the lower or put out of the way. This school of economists do not admit that their teachings must nec- essarily lead to anarchy, but as a con- temporary we'll says:
 The anarchists have taken these econ cnists at their word. They have found that even under the most prosperous

THE PEOPLE HAVE COMMON
 SENSE.

Everybody of common sense knows that the tax limit and the tax rate are very different things. The State tax limit ever since the Constitution of 1875. has been seven and a half mills. Yet the tax rate was for a time four mills, then five mills. and finally came back to SC ven and half mills in Governor John stons term. Some are going around, however, crying aloud that "the taxes have been raised" because the new Con- stitution authorizes counties to levy a special tax of one-fourth of one per cent for bridges and public buildings. Don't they know that this provision does not levy any tax at all? Don't they know that not a dollar of taxes will be levied or collected unless there Is need for buildings and bridges? Don't they know that under the present Constitu- ton there is no limit whatever on the power of taxation for such purposes? How can sincere men say such things? How do they expect to fool sensible men by such advertisements?

RAILWAY TAXATION.

In the year 1900 the railroads of the country paid in taxes of all kinds s47, ,500,- 600. When examined by States. says Bradstreet's, with reference to the amount of taxes per mile in each case,
 some very striking inequalities are pre- scented. In Massachusetts, for instance. the taxes per mile of road were $l All: in Connecticut, s9O5: in New Jersey, $722; in New York. S561; and in Pennsylvania, sSsO On the other hand, the taxation of the railroads in Indian Territory aver aged only s10 per mile of line and in South Dakota $72. The average for the W hole country was $254 per mile, which indicates the great disparity existing in this respect"
 Commenting on this. The Tradesman says: '''rhe people make loud and long complaints touching what they are pleased to call railroad extortion.' But what about an alleged system of taxa ticn that lays a burden six times as heavy on the roads of one State as it lays on the whole mileage of the coun- try? What equity or honesty can there
 be in 1t. when the roads of Massachu- sets r~-- nearly three times as much per mile of line as do the roads of New
 York? The figures make one wonder what freak of fortune or misfortune could have produced such results -s--o-s----

Dr. Philip OHanlon of New York. who has performed over 5000 autopsies and probed hundreds of gunshot wounds. probably states the truth fairly when he says:
 CT believed from the first that the President would not recover. He hadn the great number of cases I have known where the wounds were similar. Only the thoughtless or ignorant can criticise perform miracles. They cannot save , a man who is fatally injured, and they cannot prevent the results of such a wound. It was impossible for them to know of the existence of gangrene in the wound. There was no outward indi- cation. The symptoms were all good. It was not necessary for the bullet to have been poisoned.

WHAT IT MEANS.

The ratification of the new Constitu- ton has not been made party ques- tion by any Convention of Democrats. Ratification Is urged by the party be- cause it concerns our moral and social welfare. and involves the interests around our hearth-stones. The party ap- peals to men on these grounds. which are higher than party grounds
 But ask yourself if defeat of the meas ure would not be a great disaster to the party. Would it not mean condem- nation of the party? Would 1t not strengthen its enemies. and encourage its foes? Is there any better party in sight to which to intrust the interests of our Sfate2

 The New York Journal. which gave circulation to the most sinister charges and villainous cartoons against the late President of the United States, says: That this kindly, sunny-hearted man, who wsihed harm to no living creature should have been murdered in the act of extending a friendly greeting to a casual stranger. is a blistering satire on our boast that the chiefs of our free republic do not need the guards that sur round the monarchs of Europe.

Quaint Memorial Service.

quaint memorial service was held recently bv the Japanese colony of San Francisco for the members of their race who went down in the wreck of the Rio de Janeiro. A steamer flowers. it sailed to the point where the Rio de Janeiro is supposed to have gone down. There little altar, inscribed with strangr characters. was placed on stand and then heaped with flowers and fruits The Rev. K Nishiiima, head of the Buddhist mission, in mourning robes of black and purple. began an incarnation. while the assembled company listened with bowed heads. The service fn- ished. all on board joined in strewing the sea with flowers. fruit and confections, while some slips of tissue paper bearing the names of the ancestors of the dead were also consigned to the waves.

Clark. who is making the race for Uni ted States Senator against Jamesky Jones. has a difficult role to play. One of his strong points. as he considers it, is to tell the people that Jones is re- sponsible for the defeat of Bryan, but this gun is liable to kick, for he will find many Democrats in Arkansas as we'll as in other States, who will hold that any man who prevented the election oi Bryan did the country service.
