THEIR MILLIONS no Do eoop.

TOR the cause OF general education John ID.
4 Rockefeller has come up handsomely with
a cool thirty-two millions. This vast sum he
has given to the General Educational Board that
was practically founded by him few years ago
to aid the struggling institutions of learning
throughout the South. Since then its scope has
been widened The gilt OF The oil magnate is
probably the largest ever made by any single in
dvidual Mr.. Carnegie will have 10 look to his
laures
I.ombroso, the Italian, declares that million
aires in their gifts like to outdo each other and
that is what prompts them. The people will not
object if the millionaires run race to see which
one can give away the largest sum. Mr. Rookie
feller will not be permitted to monopolize the Civ
ing business. 1t is however, a munihoent and
wonderful gift TO a good and urgent cause. The
tendency is to spend more money for educa-
tional purposes Our higher institutions Of
learning are reaping the benefits. Mr. Carnegie
provided pension fund for the played out pro-
fessors whose salaries, meagre as they often are,
never permitted them to accumulate a compet-

amount TO general educational purposes. Both

industry are spending millions to aid education
which frequently is not so eagerly sought as il
should be by those who wish TO get along ir

DAWN OF EouABLE TAXATION.

- IIY COUNCIL at last realizes the neces-
~ sity OF raising more revenue Tor the num-
cipaity without further increase OF the tax on
real estate Council judging from its action last
evening does not propose to advance the tax
rate il such a step can be prevented. 1t is wise,
therefore thar Council should look into the tax
that is being paid by public service corporations
An that is asked is that this form of property
shall contribute in accordance with its value, just
as the owners of the small and medium size
dwellings are compelled to do. We do not men,
ton the larger buildings because it is notorious
that many Of the greater structures in the city
are not assessed at anything like their real value
In considering this subject, the taxation OF the
public service corporations and a uniform method
Of fixing ASSESSMENTS so that large and small
buildings shall pay in accordance to their value,
we have in mind only the fundamental theories
of Justice. It is violation of these basic doc
tunes of justice that causes much if not most OF
the unfairness, misery and exploitation in this
world.
Taxation is levied upon wealth and the ability
to pay. This being true, it should be arranged
that all wealth pay in an equitable proportion.
Many economic writers hold that wealth should
be increasingly taxed in what is called progress
i've manner. That is, the richer a man is the
more in proportion he should pay. But in actual
practice the reverse of this is true, as is demon
strated by the higher tax that is paid proportion
ately on the smaller properties as compared with
the larger ones. It may be necessary to point
out some Of these elementary principles of tax
alton, founded upon accepted doctrines Of Justice
in order to show that n any consideration os
these questions there is no attack upon thrift no
assault upon wealth or no demagogic appeals to
prejudice or to passion.

keenan, on Wednesday The act is identical
with the one favored by President Roosevelt and
enacted by the last Congress, and is intended to
protect and give to railroad employees the right Of
recovery for injuries or death occasioned them
while in the course Of their employment The
measure provides that contributory negligence Of
a fellow servant shall not bar recovery and that
all questions of negligence and contributory neg
ligence shall be submitted to the jury. Thus by
the enactment Of this just and fair measure, em-
ployes who are injured may recover damages for
such injuries even where they have been caused
by the negligence OF fellow employe and thus
what is known as the fellow servant doctrine"
is, as it should be, removed as a defense upon
which non-suits are so frequently granted. Rep
resentative keenan, certainly deserves the praise
of every railroad man in the State OF Delaware,
for submitting this most excellent and just meas
ure to the Legislature. The same law is in force
in great many if not a majority of the States,
and has already, through the recommendation of
the President, been made one Of the Federal stat
utes. The railroads will, of course, oppose this
measure and the vote on it will indicate the num-

servility to the interests of the railroad corpora

'WHISKEY" COLD CURES
Danger Of Using Alcoholic Mixtures or
Coal Tar Tablets.

The most dangerous thing that one
can do when affected with a cough or
cold is to use medicine that contains
whisky or a tablet that is made OF
some coal tar product. Putting aside
all moral objections to filing UP with
whisky or drugs because one has
cold, the injurious physical effect
should be sufficient to keep one from
using these strong medicines.
The most sensible as well as the
only scientims way to treat a cough or
cold is by inhaling medication tnat
win kill the germs and give relief TO
the irritated mucous membrane In the
nose, throat and lungs.
Among the few remedies that are
used in this way. Hyomei stands pre-
eminent. It is breathed through a neat
poclxet inhaler that comes with every
outfit and the first breath Of its heal-
ing air relieves the irritation, ana us
continued use soon effects a thorough
cure.
