THE BAD HABIT OF GETTING RICH

1t is regrettable that so neat a SER
mon as that preached by Nelson o,
Nelson, captain Of industry and mil
lionaire. in st. Louis Sunday should
have so narrow an application. But as
a matter of fact the number of people
who are in danger Of acquiring the
habit he has scored is proportionately
few even in is>country of large for
tunes and great wealth. Getting rich
is not one of the bad habits the ma
jority has to break. However, it will
be pleasant for these to learn, par
ticularly if they be of an envious dispo-
sition. that the habit is considered a
that are slaves of 1t.
It is noticeable that the st. Louis
captain Of industry neglected to say
in just what fashion one should go
about breaking off the habit. Possibly
1T is hopeless. Perhaps even Carnegie
is doomed. Certainly Mr.. Nelson said
nothing in his sermon about libraries
being a sure cure. He said nothing
about a cure at all, indeed. Between
the lines of his reported utterances one
can read a dreary hopelessness which
suggests that the st. Louis millionaire
is conscious that the habit has fastened
fatally upon him.
But he does draw a foreboding pic
ture of its awful effect. 1t is incom-
patible, he says, with the simple life.
Pastor Wagner, it will be remembered,
was not hopeless of the condition of
the rich man. When Pastor Wagner
wrote his book, however, he was not
able to speak from experience. No
editions had been exhausted. On the
contrary, it is as a rich man that Mr..
Nelson has lived and suffered. He
knows whereof he speaks. And he
speaks as one who has read the writing
on the wall The rich man is doomed
to carry a crushing burden through life,
he declares, and the dividends he COL
lects are a menace to his children.
The light of publicity that beats
upon the wealthy is rosy one and de-
ceiving, apparently. 1t is just as well.
therefore. that one of these should &C.
casionally unburden himself and pic
ture the rich man as he really is for
the contentment of the majority. Prob
ably it was the St. Louis gentleman's
intention to offer himself in his sermon
as an awful warning. We think. how
ever, he will fail in this. There is al
ways class of people who think 1t a
rather clever thing to acquire other
peoples bad habits. To these Mr.. Mel
sons remarks will not appeal. They
will continue to do their level best to
get rich. But for the majority who
have no hopes even If they have in
clinations in that direction. his SER
mon will be a solace.

CRITICISES THE TAX
New York Commission Says
Gross Earnings Tax Is Wrona

ALBANY, n. Y. March 29.-In its an
nual report handed down in both houses
OF the legislature today the state tax
commission states the gross earnings tax
against railroads to be impracticable.
The policy of a tax or gross earnings
fee. - says the commission. ''does not have
the Endorsement of the best students on
taxation. Gross earnings do not bear a
definite and permanent indication of the
real ability to pay taxes in that no ac-
count is taken of the expenses OF opera
tlon or the actual costs of the property. If
the cost of building a railroad is 9reat
its gross earnings must be corresponding
~ great or its owners cannot obtain a
falr return on the investment. The gross
earnings tax amendment must meet the
principle of uniformity and equality. which
We believe it never can do

Interstate Body Reopens Inquiry Into
Private Car CHARGES

WASHINGTON, March 29-The inter
state commerce commission has entered
an order reopening the inquiry into the
icing charges by the Armour car lines
under authority of the Michigan Central
and Pere Marquette railway companies on
fruit shipped from points in Michigan to
points of various destinations, and has set
the hearing for Chicago on May 9.
1t Is the intention of the commission to
inquire into the duties and obligations of
railway companies and car line companies
concerning the refrigerating service and
charges therefor. and also to determine
the extent of the alleged unreasonable
ness and injustice of the refrigerating
charges
In the decision heretofore rendered in
the case the refrigeration charges on fruit
from Michigan to Boston, Dubuque and
Duluth were held unreasonable and I'M
Just. and the railway companies and car
lines were allowed time to readjust the
charges involved. The commission not
having received any notification of such
readJustment has now ordered a further
inquiry with view to full investigation

A STARTLING DEFIANCE

OF all the steps that President
Roosevelt has taken in excess of the
law, and of all the wagers of battle that
he has thrown down to the senate, none
is so startling, none so inexcusable. as
the arrangement that he has concluded
with the government of Santo Do
mingo. In brief, he has established a
financial protectorate by our govern
meht over that country, not merely
without authority of law, but after
his proposition had been submitted to
the senate and practically rejected by
that body and condemned by the sane
and sober sentiment of the whole
country
This is the same proposition that
was laid before the senate in the Santo
Domingo treaty. 1t was discussed
thoroughly, and it was found that the
votes necessary to ratify that agree
ment could not be had. The senate re-
fused to assent to such a startling
bodied in making the United States a.
collection agency for the bad debts
of the South American countries held
by other nations. The friends of the
treaty saved it from absolute rejec-
ton by not forcing a vote It failed
as definitely as if a majority had been
rPpnr6pd q iT1cf
by the public and the press was uni
Versal, with the sole exception of such
newspapers as have made themselves
practical organs of the white house.
Now, the senate having adjourned,
President Roosevelt announces that he
has authorized the conclusion of ex-
actly the arrangement which he at
first proposed. Proceeding without
the slightest title of authority, he has
arranged that our secretary of war
Shall present to Santo Domingo the
names of men to be nominated for the
fiscal collection agency referred to.
These men, responsibility for whose
acts we cannot disavow in view of the
method of their appointment, are to
take charge of customs receipts for
the Santo Domingo government and
hold them for the alleged debtors. In
brief, the president defies the senate
as far as he can do SO, and proceeds
to carry out his peculiar and personal
plans.
All the dangers predicted from the
election Of this. impulsive and head
strong man are exhibited and reaIized
In this act. 1t is the Introduction of a
policy abhorrent to our traditions. un-
necessary and SO dangerous as a

people and rejected by the senate.
whose coordinate approval is required
by the constitution.
All these facts are of no Importance
to President Roosevelt, who proceeds
to go his own way and carry ont his
own notions with a high hand. He
has widened still further the breach
between the senate and himself. and
proceeded to put himself as far as pos
sible in the wrong and to give the I'M
popular senate every advantage of
position and of argument. The ponu-
lar answer to his startling defiance of
