Athens. There were leading representa-
lives from North Carolina, Including the
Governor Of the State; from South Caro-
lima. from Virginia and Georgia and Flor

Gated in the South, who arc intensely

men can be. These mon heard nothing
and saw nothing that was in any way
offensive to them. but on the contrary
they were delighted and enthused, and
we believe that the interests of the South
are entirely safe in their hands.
Let US suggest to- our esteemed contem-
pcrary In Charlotte that it take it's cue
from Governor Aycock or from any other
Southern man named, and not from some
Northern newspaper. If the editor Of the
Observer had been at the Athens Con-
ference he would have come away as en-
thusiastic as Governor Aycocl and the
ether Southern mon who attended.

ALIFE SPOILED,

It is said that when Charles J. Scar
cy left the pcaitentiary yesterday he
gare no outward sign of Joy.
This is not surprising. Naturally this
man, who has been confined for several
years In the State prison, was glad to be
free again, for every American loves
liberty. But It was sad retrospect for
Searcy as ho passed out Of the door of
the prison. He thought Of the time when
he was before a free man, and when he
had never been dissraced by prison
stripes. he thought of the precious time
that was worse than wasted in prison.
There may be happiness in store for this
man; we hope there is. but that happi-
ness is yet to be won. For the present
there can he nothing but terrible norti-
hcation and regret.
What an awful thing it is for a man OF
talent thus to spoil his life and destroy
his own happiness! Searcy was q man of
more than average intellect and was
capable of doing q mans work. in the
worlds affairs. It is bad enough, ac-
cording to Scriptures, for a man to bury
his talent in the earth. Searcy did worse
than that, he used his talent for an evil
purpose. and the penalty was sure.
Somehow we have always felt a pecu-
liar interest in this man. We saw him
once and talked with him at length. We
believe that there is good in him, and
we hope that his terrible punishment has
not been in vain. But we have referred
satisfaction of moralizng-and who does
not love to moraize? The career Of
Charles J. Searcy is a warning to all men
who are disposed to put money above
honor. No man has the right to throw
his life away any more than he has the
right to commit suicide.

AMERICAN GENIUS.

4 correspondent of the Bristol Courier
notes the fact that many foreigners are
being located in that section Of the coun-
try and asks the question 'Whither are
we drifting?" The correspondent Won
deIs what we are going to do with these
for eigners and expresses some apprehen-
sion lest they form an unruly element in
or population.
That question would be alarming if the
Al glo-Saxons of America did not have
such genius for absorbing and con-
trolling the foreign elements But we
have that genius. We have shown a ca
pacity for taking white men from all parts
OF the country and Aemricanizing them.
Wien foreigners come to us they very
soon breathe into their nostrils the breath
of Americanism; they catch the spirit of
American independence; they soon get in
to their heads and hearts the American
idea and it requires only a few years
residence, generally speaking. to make
them good American citizens. We have
married and intermarricd with these for
cigrers and the children which are born
of such marriages make as good Amer
leans as any. This is the invariable rule,
except in the case of those foreigners
whc have coored skins. We cannot mix
witt, the negro or Chinaman. because ma
| ture herself has drawn the color-lne.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-07-30
CAPITAL AND INCOME
A QUESTION REGARDING INCOME
TAXES.
Losses by Reason of Fall in Stock or
Securities Cannot be Deducted from
Taxable Income

Tax Assessor Pratt has received an
opinion from Attorney General Dole in
answer to the following inquiry:
AN individual acquires prior to July
l, 1901, a block of stock for say ten
thousand dollars. During the year end
ing June &c. 1902, he sells this same
stock for $4,000; loss, $4,000. Is he allow
ed this loss in assessing his net income
for the year to June &c. 1902"
In reply Attorney General Dole says
that the Hawaiian income tax law
closely follows the act of Congress of
1857, and he gives an opinion based on
a United States Supreme court deci-
sion under that law. The decision in
question was by Mr.. Justice Field, in
case where an owner of some United
States treasury notes was required to
pay tax on an increase in their value,
as income. He paid under protest and
brought suit to recover the amount.
Justice Field said:
The mere fact that property has ad-
Vanced in value between the date of it's
acquisition and sale does not authorize
the imposition of the tax on the amount
of the advance. Mere advance in value
in no sense constitutes the gains pros
fits, or income specified by the Sta
tute. 1t constitutes and can be treat
ed merely as increase of capital"
To this Attorney General Dole adds
his conclusions as to the Hawaiian law,
as follows:
Until the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States reverses itself it must be as
sumed that the six justices who held
the foregoing opinion were right, and
that the three who dissented were in
error.
IF a gradual increase in the value
of securities extending over a series of
years and eliminating in a sale at an
advanced price is not taxable as gain,
profit, or income of the year in which
the sale takes place, it would seem to
follow that a gradual depreciation eX-
tending over a series of years and Gull
/ minatng in a sale at a reduced price
is not within the meaning of the act,
loss actually sustained during the
year in which the sale takes place.
