Labor Paper Supports Taft.

The Labor World of Pittsburg which
has a wide circulation among the un.
ion men affiliated with the American
federation of labor, prints an editor
ial in which It comments freely on
Samuel Gomper's effort TO deliver the
labor vote to Bryan, and declares he
is wrong in his attitude. The editor
ial says:
Political sentiment and predilec-
ton among the wage workers are just
about as deeply rooted as are religious
convictions and we all know what sac
rifices. most men will make before
they will act contrary to these con-
victions. 1t is, therefore, absolutely
necessary that this question of trades
unionism be dealt with from a practic-
al point of view and with due consid-

and his party which seems to be a
certainty.
Despite the remarkable action OF
President Gompers, every trade union
list in the country has a perfect right
to vote for whom he chooses. Nc
trade union now dares to presume tC
dictate to its members for whom the,

how dictatorially President Gomper,

trade party, the rank and file of labo
will please itself as to the name
in which 1t will vote, and we predic
that the great bulk of that vote will
be for Taft and protection of Ameri

The Injunction question is not tn

Military Loulc.

But experience teaches that there
is no stopping the flow Of military
logic. From its own point of view 1t
is quite reasonable. The security Of
one range of hills requires the occu-
patton Of the next; and the retention
OF that second range requires the con
quest OF a third. So 1t goes on. AS
Lord Salisbury once said to Lord
Cromer. IF you listened TO all that
soldiers want, you would be asked to
consent to the fertilization of the
moon against a possible attack on the
earth from Mars."-London Spectator.

Maltas celebrated goats are likely

that banishing goats milk means an

jury, that the invitation " en- ac-
cepted and that, as result, the stan
dard of public morals Is lowered.
II is true that no law can be enact
ed which win equitably tax both the
honest and dishonest person, but II
seems to us no method for the taxa
ton of personal property could be de-
vlsed which would give a better OPP
portunity for fraud, concealment and
evasion than our present law, which
in effect permits taxpayer, by per
Jury to escape taxation, unless the lis
tiers are lucky enough to detect him,
and from the nature OF the fraud II.
self this is almost impossible. We
believe II is far better that the honest
taxpayer whose burden of taxation
may be increased by the adjustment
of Offset, should bear this burden
rather than to permit the present
gross injustice and inequality In taxa
ton. If all tangible property with
such exemptions as the legislature In
its wisdom may see fit to make. Is
taxed, much nearer actual equality in
taxation will be reached than under
the present system.
1t may be said that this change
would impose hardship upon persons
of small means desiring to do business
upon borrowed capital. It is the hope
of gain that leads to investments, and
we do not believe that laudable bust
ness enterprises will be either dis
couraged or handicapped by the extra
expense Of operation caused by the
slight increase Of taxes which may re-
suit from the repeal Of the Offset law.
The fact that Offset to all personal
property is permitted in so few states,
suggests that II is not essential to cur
prosperity
We find no reliable information as

she; then said: "Of course I know you
mean vaudeville. I like 1t very much,
It's such a novelty. Everything is so
different from the legitimate stage.
You have no Idea how different 1t Is
to one who has been on the legitimate
stage as long as l have.
"Of course I do not intend to stay In
vaudeville, or perhaps I would not lik
it so well. In fact I'm going to appear
in a four-act play which will come out
about Easter time, and I think 1t will
be a particular success"
"Why do you think so?"
"Well, it's a funny thing" said Miss
Harmed. 81 think an actor or actress
can always feel in his or her bones
when a play will be good. That's the
way I feel about this new play, and.
feeling like that, I'll be able to put my

'TWell, then, tell me some more about
your impressions of vaudeville"
"Tm lost in admiration" aid she,
"of the splendid way in which these
theatres are managed. The performers
in various acts never meet each other,
only occasionally on the stairs. It's so
quiet back here. Many vaudeville peo-
pie who appear in sketches together are
married, and as soon as their acts are
over they fly. There's never a bit of
confusion. It's very satisfying"
"How did you come to decide upon q
vaudeville season."
"Well, you know what o bad year II
has been for plays. There wasn't one
that came to my notice that 1 felt
really sure about. / couldn't seem to
get up the proper enthusiasm, and you
know that Is very necessary to an &C
tress who has a reputation to live up
to. In the midst of my perplexities this
vaudeville offer, with It's big salary,
came along. I was tired Of worrying,
so here l am, and, honestly, I'm not
sorry. I'm getting a fine rest, and l

Miss Harmed perched on the end of
her trunk. Those dressing rooms are
not big enough for two chairs.
"I suppose said she, &c lot Of peo-
pie were disappointed when they saw
this sketch--you see I'm getting to be
a regular vaudevillian, calling 1t a
sketch-I've been so widely heralded as
an emotional actress. Now, I'd like to
know how anyone could work up very
much emotion in a twenty-minute play.

It would look ridiculous, unless the play
