Football Casualties.

In the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal
Drs. Smith and Nichols, who had professional
care of the Harvard football squad during the
last season, give gruesome details OF the
sport" When the season began there were
$50 men in the squad, and g list of the injuries
these men had received in previous seasons
exhibits every variety of hurt internal and
external. a number dropped out before play
ing began, so that but 70 were really in the
games. The listed injuries number 145 EN-
bracing dislocatious, sprains, ruptures, contu
sicns, conclusions, broken noses, fractures of
various bones from the rim of the pelvis to
finger bones, hemorrhage, etc. One or more
players got conclusion of the brain in every
game except two. Loss of memory of events
prior 10 the game WIS quite common. There
was one case of cerebral hemorrhage. The
recital of this list of horrors makes it clear
that the human body is not strong enough to
take the risks Of the game. MammotIs, di
nOsaurs and other monsters whose enormous
fossil bones now excite our wonder were
built, perhaps, to stand the chances OF the
moving wedge the pile and other feat

squad were disabled III the aggregate 1867

theul were sun suffering from 1neir injuries.
and some, II seems, were permanently injured.

Water with Juniper Berry Flavor

That sailors at sea find the waters of the
Dismal Swamp the most potable of any to be
had is not wholly explained by the fact that
they have the quality Of keeping sweet in
barrels rou shipboard longer than others.
What keeps them sweet is large infusion OF
juniper berries; and water with moderate
flavoring of juniper berries is better than any
gin that can nowadays be bought in the open
market.

RETIREMENT OF JOSEPH
McCABE.

The retirement of Joseph McCabe
as general manager of the Washington
&, Columbia River railroad will be gen.
orally regretted in Walla Walla. During
his nine years residence here Mr.. Nc
Cabe has not only proven himself 10
he a most capable and popular rail-
road manager, but he has been one of
orr most progressive citizens, being
ALWAYS ready to aid in any movement
for the advancement of Walla Walla.
He is a man of extraordinary eXecu-
tive ability and business capacity and
will be a top notcher in any line OF
work that he may undertake. 1t is
gratifying to his host of friends here
that he has announced that he will
retain his residence in Walla Walla,
although during the next two years
he will spend most of his time in the
east. where his daughter is attending
school. When Mr.. McCabe returns to
Walla Walla he will always be given
a warm welcome.

TAXING THE IDLE RICH.

Having gained one victory in the
trade-union and eight-hour bills, which
are now government measures, the la
Dor and labor-liberal members of the
British parliament are seeking to re-
model the tax system. The total reve-
nue. of the British government is about
the same as that of the United States,
but less than per cent comes from
customs duties, which form the bulk
of our revenue, and more than a third
comes from the income and land tax
and estate duties, which the United
States does not levy. .
The British income tax is now a
uniform per cent above a minimum
amount Whether the income is salary
or earnings or rents or dividends, the
rate of tax is the same.
The liberal ministry has brought up
the proposal that the tax should be
graded, increasing in percentage as the
income increases. Inc important MOD
ification of this which is now proposed
is that the grading shall be based not
on the amount of the income, but on
its source. A merchant, lawyer, manu-
facturer, doctor or other man whose
income represents his earnings or BUSH
ness profits would pay at one rate,
while the idle rich, whose incomes
mean no personal exertion, would pay
at a much higher rate
The object of this is to appropriate
gradually the "unearned increment"
and to use the proceeds to lower the
tax on incomes which represent earn
ings and to remove. entirely the tax
from teas, coffee and cocoa. What sur
plus might further result would go to
old-age pensions and to increase the
educational appropriation which in
England forms part of the national ex-
penses.

Kansas City is going to have nom
union music in it's parks. The Mu-
sicians' union offered to do LOG park
concerts for $6,216, but the non-union-
lists put in a bid for the same number
of spiels at a cost of the city of $3.50.
The union now demands of the park
board that the non union contract be

WHY NOT AN ALIBI.

The Standard Oil company's expla-
nation of the charges made by the
Garfield report is mainly interesting
for what it does not explain. 1t
omits also to take into consideration
the fact that officials of the Standard
have heretofore given testimony re-
garding rates which does not agree
with their present claims and denlals.
For example. Mr.. Archbold, in 1901,
wrote to the industrial commission
giving the oil rates from Whiting, Ind,
to Birmingham, Ala, A cents; from
Whiting to Memphis, IS cents; Whit
ing to Little Rock, 301a cents, where
as the Standard Oil company was then
shipping and continued to ship. until
the bureau of corporations recently
discovered the secret rate, oil at the
following prices: Whiting to Birming-
ham. 29b cents: Whiting to Memphis,
Is cents: Whiting to Little Rock, 26
to be believed on the main question of
the non-eXistence of secret, discrimi-
natorv rates. but if he does he should
have taken care to lay a foundation
of truthfulness in his former state
ments.
The Standards further defense is
that it cannot be monopoly because
there are competing refineries in vari-
out parts of the country. This seems
to make a virtue of its failure to an
initiate rivalry. There are some small
refineries but they do not exist by
the good will of the Standard. One
significant suggestion on this point is
in the Garfield report.
The Standard enjoyed a 6-cent rate
on its shipments from Whiting to East
ST. Louis The rate did not appear in
the published tariffs. but in the billing
orders. Mr.. Garfield says that no indie
pendent shipper interviewed by his bu-
reau knew of the. existence of this
rate save one, man who formerly had
been an employee of the Standard and
who used his knowledge to force the
railroads to make him a correspond
ingly low rate. which was also secret
The refinery of this independent ship
per was shortly after bought out and
dismantled. OF course. the Standard
Oil company may not have bought this

One of those little pinky magazines
published in Chicago and calling itself
"a think magazine for think people,
says:
"While the concrete sayings of Jesus
appeal to me as largely true, and quite
in harmony with the eternal constitu-
ton of things, still nothing written or
said by him or Plato. Aristotle, Marcus
Aurelius or Voltaire indicates any fac
utly of the appreciation of the value

of his Creator? II He so stoops as tc

blossoms float upon the autumn breeze

time, will he withhold the words of
frosts of winter come? If matter
mute and inannimate, is changed by
of forms that never die, will the spirit
of man suffer humiliation after it has
paid a brief visit, like a royal guest
to this tenement Of clay"

PLATT AND POLYGAMY.

During this present important ses-
sion of congress, with the railroad rate
bill. the trusts, the tariff, the Jurlsdlc-
ton and power of the federal courts,
the colonial policy and foreign rela-
lions of the United States, all subjects
of public debate and pending leglsla-
ton, nothing has happened to give
anv sign that the greatest, richest and
most populous Of the forty-five states
has any representative in the senate
This was until yesterday, when
Thomas Collier Plat, senior senator
from New York, introduced a resolu-
ton declaring that
Neither polygamy nor polygamous
practices. shall exist in the United
States or any place subject to its Jur-
isdiction.'
There is evidence that the railroads,
| the trusts, public franchise corpora
tions and the other great interests
whose affairs are now being consid-
cred by congress have all made cam
paign contributions to Senator Platt.
| AS he explained to Senator Hughes,
! the consideration for these contr1bu-
lions was "a moral obligation to pro-
| tect the interests of the contributors.
Evidently the polygamists made no
contributions to the republican state
| committee during Mr.. Platts leader
ship. The sultan of Sulu and other
| magnates of means who practice plu-
raj marriage in the colonial possessions
of the United States may even be 1g-
| norant of the existence of Senator
| Platt and the annual need of state
| campaign funds. They will now sit
up and take notice.
