A FRIENDLY WoUND.

Under its new management the Phil
adelphia Ledger is supposed to be
warmly friendly to "the railroad inter-
est" and 1t is supposed to show its
friendliness in the following: The rail-
reads of the country are in the hands
OF so few men that 1T will be an easy
matter to arrange a policy regarding
nominations and whom they shall sup
port for President and there is no hur-
ry about the matter. There are indica-
items both in the East and in the West
that the railroad managers will en-
deavor to defeat for nomination sure,
and perhaps election, any man whom
President Roosevelt selects as his lega-
tee They have had all they want Of
the Roosevelt policy" The question
of what shall be done has been dis
cussed In high financial circles.
Faithful are the wounds of a
FRIEND" says the Bible, but 1t doesn't
mean such wounds as that above men
toned. If the Philadelphia Ledger is
really controlled by the railroad inter-
est the sooner that interest really con-
trolls 1t the better.

decisions supporting this conclusion
and many in addition which declare
the use Of liquor to be the source Of
the greatest suffering to society. In an
apparently painstaking way he makes
straight to the conclusion that the bus
mess Of saloonkeeping is unlawful as
a violation of the constitution, which
expressly undertakes to protect society
against what is contrary to the public
good. A legal mind will find much to
entertain it in Judge Artman's finding
while the millions which are invested
in the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquor win tremble in their
shoes at the mere thought that the
Supreme court of the United States
will affirm his judgment and make the
manufacture and sale of the stuff I'M
lawful Unquestionably such an affirm
alive opinion would strike mighty
blow at this class of vested interests
ard it might presumably lead to an
unpleasant revolution in more ways
than one, but neither of these consid-
erations has anything to do with the
inviolability of the constitution as the
protector of society against destructive
influences.

THE CREEK DEMOCRATS.

1t Is interesting to notice that just
row Democracy seems to be much
alive in descendants of those who oc-
cupied this country before either Dem
ocrats or Republicans got around here.
The Creek nation has just had coun-
Gil at Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and at
that council there was a lively discus
sion of politics, statehood and other
important matters. In the course Of the
discussion Chief Pleasant Porter an
nounced that he would vote the Dem
ocratic ticket straight in the coming
election. He further stated that he be-
leved large majority Of the Indians
of the Creek nation would do the
same. In this matter the Indians take
the stand that for all the matters of
government under which they now suf-
fer the Republican administration Is
responsible. They do not like 1t, and
they want change,
It will he interesting enough If red
men are found leading white men back
to the constitution.

RETURNING HOPE.

This country Is sometimes a little
slow, but 1t usually gets there just the
same. So 1t will probably have fly
ing machines for use in war when
they are useful in war, 1t has just
ben made public that France and
Germany have flying machines which
threaten to be useful in war. or. at
least the basis for machines which
will be useful in war. There was a
time when the War department of this
country was paying serious attention
TO the flying, or flighty, efforts of
Professor Langley, and his expert
ments were materially aided by an al
lotment of money which had been
made by an army board Of ordnance
and fertilization. The experiments
in the last few years of Langley's life
were conducted under the auspices Of
that board, the members of which APP
peared finally to be ashamed that they
had become involved in the failure.
This sentiment has changed recently,
and it is realized that Professor Lang
ley wrought faithfully.and well, and
there is no occasion to be ashamed of
the help which the board gave him.
Since then others, notably Manley, the
faithful engineer of Langley; DR..
Alexander Bell, DR.. Berliner and the
Wright brothers have been engaged in
serious research and practical expert
mentation. Some of them have made
advances toward the solution Of the
problem of flight and it is understood
that the War department is more fav-
orably disposed toward considering
propositions of that kind than it was.
OF course we want our soldiers to
fly if the soldiers of other countries
are going to fly. 1t does not now
look as if the aerial warship will be
perfected before the Peace conference
at The Hague is over, but it does look
as if it would be sometime.

A Demand for Cheap comns.
Indianapolis News.)


We simply suggest now that some
mercy should be shown to man when
he comes to die. He is burdened all
through hts life with high prices and
high taxes Many OF our States tax his
property as it passes from his hands at
death to those of his heirs. It is pro-
posed that the Federal Government
shall also levy this death duty, Clear up
to the grave the burden continues to
rest on his shoulders When the grave
is finally. reached we think that decen-
cy and fair play demand that there
should be relief Many Of us do not
relish the idea Of incineration, though
It Is a most effective weapon against
the coffin trust So 1t does not seem
fair to force people to rely on it as
the only protection against the exac-
lions of the coffin trust. We hope that
the Government will be thorough in
this case If we can not have any
thing else cheap, give us at least cheap
cofiins. They will not. we feel sure,
make cheap men.

THE Bar STATE INHERITANCE TAX

Neighbor Massachusetts, has a new
inheritance tax law, which goes into
effect September l. And though it
was hurried through the legislature in
the latter days Of the session, it came
out pretty comprehensive measure,
and drastic enough to suit those who
don't expect to leave anything that
will be subject to it. All legacies Of
less than $1,000 are exempt. No tax is
laid upon any gift up to $4,000 if it is
made to husband, wife, father, moth
err, child or adopted child-that is,
within the circle of nearest or most
directly dependent relatives. The in
heritance tax-where it is levied on le-
gacies to relatives-is progressive in
its character, and takes cognizance,
by double classification, Of the close
ness of relationship. Thus the tax on
a legacy to a husband, wife, lineal an
cestor, lineal descendant, adopted
child, lineal descendant of an adopted
child, wife or widow of a son, or hus-
band of daughter. is one per cent
if the gift does not exceed $50,O l
1-2 per cent. if the gift does not ex-
coed 100000, and two per cent. If the
gift exceeds 100000. If the legacy
is for a brother, sister, nephew or
niece, the tax is three per cent. if the

THE STATE POLICE.

The State police last year cost the
commonwealth many thousands more
than it paid over in fines. Out Of GIT
prosecutions it secured 265 convic-
tons. That in the rough is the rec
ord of the year. No criticism can be
offered the administration of the de-
partment, which has been conscienti-
Gus and dignified. The State is for
tunate In its commissioners and in its
chief.
1t is of no consequence that the po-
lice department fails to cash in as
much money as 1t pays out. 1t is not
a money making undertaking. The
broader question provoked by the re-
port relates to the necessity and use
fulness of the State police itself It
was created not because there was an
intelligent demand for it but as a
handy means Of getting rid of the Law
and Order League, which had made
itself offensive by its methods in de-
tecting violations of the law The
only way in which the State could rid
itself Of a privately managed and pri-
vately financed sleuth concern was to
take it over and run 1t itself.
Whether the State should continue
to maintain its department Of police is
yet to be determined. So long as 1t
does exist it will exist as reflection
upon every police force in the State.

kind are to take place at the White
House whenever possible, with consid-

ever possible. For this purpose off,
GERS and men will be ordered to
Washington. In cases where this

the highest ranking officer near at
hand will represent the President by

President Roosevelt to have the medal
