Heaven tor Old Maidu.

Is there really "no room in heaven
for an old maid," as prominent min
lister in a Northern city recently de-
clared? Coming with the seriousness
and solemnity of pulpit utterance,
the assertion, which might serve as a
passable; though ancient. joke, be-
comes grotesque.
Marriage is broadening in its ten
dencies and in it's effects disciplining;
but can it entirely reform or change
the nature of either man or woman?
Women certainly do not always stay
single from choice. Singleness is not
always a deliberate sin. AS society is
at present, the meetings which result
in marriage are purely accidental, and
If the right man does not present him
self, is woman to be blamed for not
taking one of whom she does not ap..
prove and for whom she does not care?
When we speak slightingly of the 'old
maid" we allude not so much to the
fact that she has passed her youth
without marrying as to the character
istics of the narrow life, such as timi-
dity, coldness, loquaciousness or fin
ickiness which prevent comradship.
But these characteristics also apply to
many men and to many married wo-
men. By nature woman is much bet
ter than man. Angels are likened to
her, thai heaven may be brought
down to the level of mans comprehen-
son. Thousands of old nlaios who,
through devotion to parents, sacrifice
for others or application to work, have
permitted opportunities for marriage
to pass them by, are of spotless souls,
whose unselfsh lives bring much of
heaven down to earth. Only the wings
are lacking to carry them to Paradise.
The preacher who would shut them
out of heaven either knows little about
what heaven is for, or Is incapable Of
appreciating what qualities tit people
for home in that blessed place. 1t is
astonishing what rot is uttered from
the pulpit sometimes.

An Object Lerson.

The standpatters should keep their
eyes on Brother Taft, he IS such a
"llttle American" that he has ordered
the Panama Commission to buy 20,-
OOG barrels of British cement instead
of patronizing the home made article,
produced by the cement trust. 1t is
true that he saved the government 81
cents a barrel, OF 7.400, on this one
deal, which the trust loses over and
above a fair profit and if he continues
this patriotic policy the trust, that
control the price OF other articles used
at Panama, will lose in the same
proportion. The American consumer
CT cement and other trust products
must buy on less favorable terms than
his own government as long as the Re-
rublican politicians refuse to revise
the tariff that protects the trust and
the American people continue to elect
Republican congresses.

SENATOR Bulkeley, of Connecticut,
who defended his subscriptions from

stand pat Republican stole to help de-
bauch the voters.

The oueatlotn, o., |. Taxation. q

The Queation of Taxation.
The true reason for the prominence
Of the tariff question and other tax
questions lies in the fact that taxation
is always with US, go where we will.
1t is like a shadow that clingsito US
until we reach the grave: President
Madison, writing to John Adams, in
1918, about the discussions OF the tax
ing power in: the convention which
framed the Federal Constitution, said:
The attempts to distinguish between
legislation on the subject Of taxes and
other subjects terminated in the dis
closure that no such distinction exist
td''
Taxation, therefore, enters as an ele-
ment into all legislation, and is the
basis of all. If it bears equally upon
persons in proportion to their ability
to pay, it is just. If it discriminates in
favor of any person, corporation, or
class, against any other person, corpor-
alton, or class, it is unjust. A protec-
tive tariff necessarily and avowedly
makes such determinations, and is
therefore unjust. It can only be sus-
tanned upon the ground that injustice
is right, because it results in prosperi-
ty to certain individuals and corpora
tions. Piracy, highway robbery, and
larceny could be sustained by the same
argument.
If a few men were privileged by law
to loot every ship and every city they
could find, and rob every person they
met,. the privileged class would soon
become as prosperous as the trusts and
monopolies which have grown up under
the Dingley Tariff, and for the very
same reason--they would get some
ing for nothing under the operation Of
law. The law in the one case would be
the shelter of rugged and bloody men,
and the law in the other case would be
and is, q shelter for soulless corpora
tions and trust magnates; with the
same general results-the accumula-
tion of all wealth in few hands. A
law licensing highwaymen, pirates and
thieves to take all of every mans prop
erty above a certain amount in the
name of taxation, would be more di-
rect and more honest than the tariff
law which the stand-patters are so
strenuously defending.
Z The President is, therefore. more
honest than the majority Of his party,
when he boldly advocates confscation
as a refuge from the effects Of the
Dingley tariff, which the stand-pat-
tiers seek to perpetuate. And theabuse
of power in the name of taxation,
which he proposes, violates the consti-
tuition no more tlagrantly than the
protective tariff does. But between
the two evils. the honest man will
choose neither. Both schemes prove
by their glaring iniquties, that a grad
yates income tax, which would take
only from those who are able to spare
something from their surplus revenu-
es, and only in proportion to such abil-
ity, is, after all, the only just solution
of the Federal tax question, and, there
fore, of all other questions of legisla-
tiou; there being at the bottom no dis.
tinction between legislation on the
of taxes and on other subjects.
