 The Eastern papers are discussing the income tax suggestion in connec- ton with the Supreme Court It is probable that the law will again be laid before the court. It is not the same court now that it was when 1t divided evenly on the question of its constitutionality Then a judge changed sides and the law was killed. That may happen again. but 1t is not certain that 1t will. The very hesitation of tho court to declare 1t unconstitutional and the fact that the court was equally divided will tempt men to pass an other law taxing incomes.
 When the court passed on the ques- tion 1t was at first equally divided Four judges held 1t was constitutional.

 One of the judges was at home sick, Justice Jackson of Tennessee. when Judge Jackson got well the case was held that the tax was constitutional. But one of the judges changed sides and there were then five to four against the law. So it died.
 or those nine judges only four are now on the bench. and those foyr are again equally divided. Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer no doubt will vote as they did in 1894. So per haps will Justices Harlan and White. That will leave the decision to the new judges How the new judges stand on the question is not known. The new judges who will pass on the new law are

 MT. Roosevelt would hardly have spoken of the tax If he had not intend ed to push 1t through. He does not talk Idly on such theme. It may be That the matter will not be pushed un- iii the new Congress begins It's work. There is time enough to lobby 1t through by next December. The new Congress will certainly favor the tax. and if may be that the Senate will pass it Now is the time to place our bets on what the court will do.

there was Sir william Kennedy, who was
a man marked for special favors from the
crowd from the time the parade started
until 1t was over. Clothed in the garb of
his native Scotland, he had a prominent
place on Great Britains float. On account
of the continued cheering he was forced
to doff his highland cap repeatedly. Others
in the procession. either because of their
prominence in promoting the cause of the
kingdom or because of popularity aside
from the carnival, were given individual
ovations.

But everything in the procession was con-

thinks flower parade is an easy thing to
manage should have watched the formation
Of this one and been present when the autos
were receiving their coatings of color. A
proper blending of the tints is not always
an easy thing to secure unless one has a
natural eye for It.
In this procession, as in the former ones,
music played prominent part. The beauty
of the flower parade was enhanced by the
Royal Hawaiian band, every member
clothed In pure white, at the head of II.
The company Of players harmonlzed well
with what followed, both in appearance
and In the beauty of their music. The
other bands were also in the parade and
added their share TO it. Among these were
the cowboy musicians from Bonesteel,
who stood out prominently because of their
unique uniforms. Not TO be ignored IL the

shouting crowds closed in and the

over Parade of Thursday.

Flower Parade of Thursday.
Thursday, after having paid tribute to
both the king and the useful Industries
the populace turned an eager eye TO the
feature that reflected quiet, subdued
beauty and taste rather than bnlliancy
or utility. They saw a reflection OF the
beautiful in the flower parade at $3.50 In
the afternoon.
Eighteen automobiles, fairly smotheredl
under loads of brightly -colored flowers
and fresh greens moved down the street
in stately procession, and moved thou
sands of spectators to EXPLANATIONS of
surprise and pleasure. The positive colors
Of the realm, red and yellow were very
much in evidence in the general effect, but
some of the most popular creations were
clothed in more modest tints.
The Ak-Sar-Ben colors were displayed in
succession by the first three autos and
then II was matter of taste with the
decorators. The decorations, by the way.
were to a great extent the work of Mrs.
Estelle Fead of Omaha and Mrs. Mary
Whalen of Kansas City, who was under
contract to superintend the AFFAIR. Miss
Ella Brown was about the only one OF the
individual exhibitors to adorn their own
machines. With the direction of the work
in the hands of one OF two IL was little
wonder that harmony of color, so greatly
to be desired, was feature of the pro-
cession. Nearly all of the colors OF tho
rainbow with the usual variations, were
used in the adornment of the vehicles.
There was one in lavender that stood out
prominent for the richness of its color
Others in pink and white, in bright scar
let, in black and green, and different
shades of yellow. Some were worked into
ingenious designs; one of these repre-
senting a watermelon, and another q
water lily with beautiful girl seated in
the center.
