partmcnts that were waiting on the
gun work at the yard for arming the
new warships. The Secretary OF the
Navy claims that he cannot release the
men and they have now appealed a
second time to the President while the
legal machinery of their organization
has been set in motion to see if they
cannot compel a holiday by law.
The Government Printing Office in.
vestigation promises to develop one OF
the biggest advertising schemes since
the march of the Coxey Army from
Coxey's Ohio stone quarry. 1t seems
hard for the Government to render a
decision in the case without advertising
one or the other OF the companies in
volved to an unheard-of extent. The
trouble was originally over contract
Tor the purchase OF seventy-two type
setting machines. The Public Printer
III Ou0 SUI anu kuC ilNai
came into the field and forced an inves-
tigation as to the legality of the con-
tract.
A government commission was called
and they heard expert witnesses to a
great length. 1t developed further that
the trouble grew out of friction and
jealousy between Public Printer Pal
mer and Foremen Ricketts, OF the
big print shopf Now the report OF the
commission has been placed in the
Government and the question is what
to do with it. If the contract is upheld
one of the companies involved will
hail it as a Government endorse
ment for their machine. If the con.
tract is annuled, the other company
will toot its machine as the only real
thing among typesettcrs. Which horn
OF the dilemma the Government will
grasp is an interesting question.

AND NOW THE INCOME TAX.
Some Troubie,oms Questions for the Admin
istratiOn.

In the invitation for proposals for
bids for the construction of railroads
in the Philippines, which invitation
was made public by Secretary of War
Taft June III, it is provided that in
place of all taxes, the railways must
pay annually for thirty years to the
Philippine government, one-half Of
one per cent. Of their gross earnings
for fifty years after the expiration OF
the thirty year period the annual
amount to be paid in place of taxes
shall be one and one-half per cent.
upon the gross earnings. After that
time the amount to be paid shall be
fixed by the Philippine government.
Do our eyes deceive US or is this
really formal endorsement by the
Republican administration of the prin.
ciples OF the income tax?
The Republican administration has
given its endorsement TO the Demo
cratic plan OF giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission power to fix
railroad rates. 1t has given its en-
dorsement to the Democratic demand
that the criminal clause of the Sher-
man antitrust law be enforced. 1t
has given its endorsement to the DEM
ocratic plan Of requiring Federal Ii
cense before corporation may do bus
mess outside of the State of its origin.
1t has given On emphatic denial to the
Republican claim that protection is a
highly patriotic and moral rule; it has
given an emphatic endorsement OF the
Democratic claim that protection is
a robbery of the many to enrich the
few; it has admitted that the tariff
should not be employed by the Ameri,
can manufacturer as means for i'm.
posing extortionate prices upon the
American consumer. And now in the
Philippine islands the Republican ad-
ministration has given endorsement to
the principle OF the income tax.
To great many people the question
will occur: If the principle of the in
come tax is good as applied to the
Philippines, why is it not good as ap-
piled TO our own land? And if it is
proper for the government to 60 to the
markets where it can buy cheapest its
supplies for the Panama canal in order
to escape ex.ortionate prices, with
what reason will the individual con.
sumner who supports the government
be denied the benefit of that same
common sense remedy?

Tacoma Ledger.
Between 100 and 800 japanese cool
les, brought to this country from Hon.
olulu to work as railroad laborers, ar
rived in Tacoma at ii 80 o'clock last
night LThursdsy, Goth ult. on the
steamer Rosalie, to which the Japs
transferred from the steamship STAN
ley Dollar at Victoria, B. c. The men
will be divided between the Northern
Pacific and the Tacoma Eastern, 100
going to the latter road and 32l to
Montana and Idaho points on the
Northern Pacific. The men were Sc.
cured for the road. by w. H. Reming-
ton, labor contractor.
When the Rosalie pulled into the
Oriental dock every caution was exer-
ciscd to prevent the coolies being
spirited away by rival contractors and
by Japanese employed on the Sound
at other vocatious than railroad work.
Several efforts were made to entice
the coolies away, but the men were
closely watched by Contractor Rem.
ington's men and by squad of police,
and it is not believed any of them
escaped.
While the coolies were being un-
loaded launch pulled up and over
lures were being made to some of the
Japs, when the launch was sighted by
the officers and driven away. Three
Japs were in the launch, and when it
pulled away the men yelled to their
cOuntrymen on the steamer to not get
on the train. The men are believed
to have been trying to get the laborers
for the canneries on the Sound, al
though it was said similar efforts made
later were under instructions of men
interested in getting laborers for the
Great Northern.
AS fast as the coolies were unloaded
from the steamer they were hurried
into the Oriental warehouse, from
which place they we're loaded into the
cars of . special train to take them
out over the Northern Pacific. Out
side the werehouse where the train
was standing four well-dressed Japs
from Seattle were in waiting to entice
the men away from the train, but Con.
tractor Remington discovered them
before the doors were unlocked, and
sent two OF his foremen out for q ruse.
Believing the foremen were some OF
the coolies, the Japs besieged them to
desert the gang and 60 where they
could get better jobs"
The coolies came to Tacoma direct
from Honolulu, having sailed from
there Saturday, July IL, after consider
able delay. The Stanley Dollar had
been chartered to carry the men, and
Contractor Remington charges much
of the delay to the tactics of the Pa
cific Mail and the Canadian Pacific
steamship companies, each of whom,
he declares, did everything possible to
cause him trouble and delay. There
was another delay at Victoria, when
the coolies were transferred to the
Rosalie, which had been chartered ia
carry the laborers from Victoria to
Tacoma. The Rosalie's license limits
her to 125 passengers, but permission
WAS finally granted for the steamer to
carry the entire lot, as the immigration
officials refused to permit the coolies
to be divided into small parties for
transportation to the Sound.

gregntional pastor and as the Secre

Lowell Mason set it to the tune
"Olivet," with which it has ever since

Almost all church people know it by

Ny faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb OF Calvary,

Now hear me while pray,
Take all my guilt away;
o let me from this day
BE wholly thine.
May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my faintins heart;
My zeal inspire;
| As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
Pure, warm and changeless be,
A living fire!
While life's dark maze | tread,
And grieis around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
| Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrows tears away,
| Nor let me ever stray
| From thee aside.
When ends liies transient dream,

Fear and distress remove;

FOUR.YEAR-OLD Ethel had been to

badly wrinkled. On returning home
she climbed into her aunt's lap and,
looking at her intently, queried:
"What makes Grandma Barker's
face all wrinkled?"
Because she is very old, dearie,'
was the reply.
"Will your nice, smooth face be
like hers when you get to be old,
auntie?" asked the child soberly.
"Yes, darling" said the aunt, sigh.
