wINDHAM COUNTY DOES WELL.
Apples and Potatoes the Only Crops That

The Windham county farmer who has
taken good care Of his crops has been

An Income Tax.

Mr.. Bryan again declares for an in
come tax and on this proposition he is
clearly and eternally right. No tax
could be fairer or more just. There are
thousands of bloated millionaires in
this country whose immense fortunes,
threatening to the common welfare,
have been accumulated by questiona-
BILE, if mot dishonest methods, and
though they are protected by the gov
eminent in the enjoyment of these for
tunes there is not one of them who
pays any more toward the support of
the general government than any ordi
nary man of modest means who buys
tariff protected goods. An income tax
has long been an important feature of
EngIand's financial system and is col
lected, we believe, by all the nations
of Europe. If, as held by the Supreme
Court, such tax cannot be laid under
the constitution, then we agree with
Mr.. Bryan that the Constitution
should be amended and the right of
Congress to impose such tax clearly
provided for Why should man worth
$1,000 pay as much to the support Of the
general government as man worth
$1,000, 900.

Subsidy BILL

All Democrats who expect to take
any part in the Fall campaign, wheth-
er as editors or as debaters, should Sc
cure a copy of the speech made by Mr..
Spight, of Mississippi, on the ship sub
sidy bill lost June. Mr.. Spight is a
member of the committee of the House
of Representatives on Merchant Ma
rine and Fisheries and also member
of the Merchant Marine Commission.
He spoke as an expert on the subject,
and no one can read what he said with
out being forced to the conclusion that
the edious Steel Trust ought to be ex-
terminated, by cutting off the tariff on
imported steel and iron.
Mr.. Spight showed by testimony
taken by the Merchant Marine Com
mission that the Trust is selling steel
for ship-building in Scotland and Ire
land, Wales and England for $3.50
less per ton than to our own shlpbuild-
ers, so that foreigners buying their
steel from the Trust can bui Id an aver
age ship for $50, 900, saving in the cost
of steel alone more than any American
shipyard could build one Of the same
class for. He also shows that the steel
magnates and other standpatters are
behind the ship-subsidy bill, and wobld
secure its passage with the aid of
Roosevelt if they could control the
Republican Congressman from the
Middle West.
Subsidies of any kind are undemo.
cratic, but subsidy to trust should
be too nauseous a dose for honest re-
publicans.

Farmer Commits Suicide.

Frank NJ. Zimmerman, aged so years
retired farmer, who resided at Church
Hill, Frederick County, committed
suicide few minutes before O'Clock
NJ on day evening by shooting himself
near the right temple. The shooting
was.done in bedroom. His wife, who
was the only person in the house, was
attracted to the bedroom by the pistol
shot, and found her husband lying
across the bed. Her screams brought
neighbors to the house. When seen
about the village Zimmerman seemed
well and cheerful as usual.
