CAN THE AMENDMENT BE DEFEATED2

CAN THE 1MENDMENT BE DEPLETED?
 Senator Hughes of Colorado, has long been convinced of the consttutionaity of an income tax and that the Supreme court erred in declar- ing the law of 1894 void He does not believe that congress should submit to curtailment of It's taxing power by means of court decision as to which there is strong probability that the court would willingly reverse itself
 'The principle involved'' said Mir. Hughes, is whether it is proper for the congress of the United States to abdicate a constitutional DOW CT necessary to the life of the republic because a divided court by casting vote in doubtful decision, where the entire question was not pre- sented, has said so once." The Colorado sen ator does not hesitate to declare his complete |disapproval of an abdication of this sort He refuses to accept the income tax decisions as a final determination of the powers of congress. He maintains that the court is not the sole ar bitter of the constitutonaity of legislation, pointing out that both Presidents Jackson and Lincoln declined to accept supreme court de- cisions as settling important questions of gov ernmenta policy. Furthermore, the court has frequently reversed itself, on both public and private issues, at least a hundred times To ar que in the face of these facts that refusal to acquesce in the income tax decisions as final is reflection on the integrity or ability of the supreme court is absurd
 Mr. Taft certainly had no intention fmak ing such reflection when in 1907 and again in 1908 he hnted at probability of reversal of those decisions, and in one of his speeches af- firmed his judgment that ''an amendment to the Constitution for an income tax is not neces- sary.'
 Senator Hughes asserts his belief that the whole tendency of the movement for an amend ment to the Constitution is to defer and make impossible the enactment of an income tax law.

Advantage with the Sluggard

From the Melbourne Argus.
 A few weeks ago a series, of ob. servations on the atmosphere was com menced. One curious fact proved by these observations is that there is most dust in the city air early in the morn ing. This seems to dispose, as far as the city is concerned, of the ancient theory regarding the purity of morning air. The early riser takes more dust particles into his lungs than the slug. gard who leaves his Led just in time for luncheon.

In fact, the obliga- tion is the greater to use care in the use of language and in the modulation of the voice, because the additional aid of facial expression to the interpretation of intent and meaning is absent. The minor notifications of timbre and of vocal infection may be lost. The gentleness of courtesy is all the more imperatively de- manded by these conditions. Not only should the negative rule against profanity of all tele- phone exchanges be enforced vigorously, but there should be affirmative training in the po- liteness of the voice. Nor are these elementary lessons needed by the public alone. There is a certain responsibility for instruction resting upon the managers of the exchanges, where and willingness are essential to time saving convenience and good will

'''The income tax, J he says, lis postponed to the Greek kalends'' He points out that the in come tax amendment has not been delivered into the hands of its friends. Moreover, the adoption of an income tax amendment by con gress signifies its acquiescence ill the supreme court decisions, and amounts to a formal legis- lative declaration that unless the income tax amendment becomes part of the Constitution, the government is without constitutional power to levy an income tax.
 What Senator Hughes says of the attitude of the Finance committee and it's significance with respect to the ultimate fate of the income tax amendment is worth reproducing here:
 ''Through the prudent wisdom of the
 founders of this republic twelve states can
 set their veto power against the adoption
 of an amendment and all the other thirty
 four may rage for it as they may, but 1t
 will never become part of tue organic law.
 1 can count blindfolded more than that
 many states under the infiuence--the con-
 trol--of those devotedly attached to the>
 highest character of protective tariff, and
 who will never permit the entering wedge
 of an income tax to be inserted into the rev
 enue system of the United States so long as
 they have the power to pre- ent it.
 ''I believe that it is within the power of
 the finance committee alone, by means of
 the influences its members control to se-
 cure votes of the legislature of twelve
 states to make it impossible to adopt that
 amendment, or at least, to adopt it, if ever,
 for long, long time"
 When we reflect that New England alono could furnish half of the dozen adverse votes required to defeat the amendment, Senator Hughes belief is seen to have substantial foun- dation It is easy to predict that the amend ment would meet with strenuous opposition i'll New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and H. inois, all coming within the influences of inter- ests unfavorable to an income tax, and all four usually having legislatures under the domna- ton of wealth. Assuming these states to join with New England, but two more would be nee essary to put the amendment to sleep. Should there be any concert of action on the part of wealthy interests to defeat the amendment, 1t IS apparent that the combination would have ex- cellent chances of success. Thus the propon ents of the amendment have invited a contest the issue of which may be fairly said to be in doubt.

NOAH- MOST ANCIENT OF MARINERS


 NOAH-MOST ANCIENT OF MARINERS
 It would seem that the society of naval archi- tects and marine engineers when in convention in Detroit, made an error of judgment in it's refusal to place the name of Noah upon it's roll of honorary membership. Every careful stu dent of that stirring Biblical narrative of early nautical adventure must have been impressed with the divers and admirable qualities of that sturdy captain and patriarch.
 Noah was a ship designer who toiled without the guidance of precedent and with scarcity of labor due to the increduity of his scoffing neighbors. AS captain he compelled good order among lot of passengers most var jed and by nature of the most inimica dispos- tions But through forty days and forty nights the vigorous tread of his foot on deck was the signal for peace and quiet in the steerage. As caterer, his qualities almost surpass the pow CT of imagination. His commssarat would have dislnayed the most expert of modern ship stewards, for he had to satisfy every kind of appetite then known to the animal world As a ship-buiIder, his original design and thorough construction not only withstood every viciss- tude of the heaviest precipitation known to meteorological records, but sustained success fully the shock of landing upon the top of a mountain-a triumph of seaworthiness without precedent and without repetition in more mod ern marine adventure.
 Indeed, so much of sailor was Noah that it may be recalled, at this late day. perhaps with out any offense to any of his descendants, that 1t was only when ashore that he got into rou- be. But most charitable students of history will cOncede that Noah had gone through ser ious voyage and that his elation was warranted and his tribulation only natural reaction against having been so long in the original wat CT wagon. There need be no shock to the most severe Puritanism in this liberal view; for there is no record that this ancient mariner ever fell again from the grace of temperance after his renewed residence upon terra frma The most mkind comment to make upon this unique spree is that Noah must have been the original solitary thinker But then, think of the depres- sion due to his lack of neighbors. state of b'ncs which perhaps was not cheered by domes- tie criticism. Upon the whole, Noah was the patron saint of sober sailors.

and not drug store in town could be entered for love or money, to secure the necessary dressings for first aid or to allay his frightful pain. Such an incident may happen again any day, to say nothing of the frequent times when something is needed from a drug store between 12 o'clock and daylight, to save life or relieve the pain of sick people. Two or three hours is often the difference between life and death.
 Now that Phoenix is so tightly clos ed one cannot even get a drink of whiskey between midnight and morn- ing. even for emergency purposes, in the case of accident or illness. an open drug store is all the more demanded. Though there is only one patron a week. it might be that patrons dire extremity. The druggists are in busi- ness for money like everybody else but they owe something to humanity as their price of the franchise for occupy ing the field.
 It would seem to the writer that by mutual arrangement they might take turns in keeping at feast one store open at a time, all night. and that at no great individual expense. If they cannot afford to do so a public sub scription should be started to raise a fund to hire a night clerk for some one store, and if this resort be neces- sary, the writer who is not sick and hopes never to require such a facility, will be one of the subscribers. No man knows when 1t will be his turn to sui fer as the Mexican boy did the other night.

THE REALM OF DEATH
 INVADED BY SCIENCE
An Extraordinary Experiment Going on in a St. Paul Hospital.

St Paul. Minn., Feb. 4.-(Special
 Correspondence of The Republican.)-
 Should the most skillful surgeons and
 physicians of the city who for thirty hours have been heroically fighting for the life of Jos Modrzegeuka, succeed science will have triumphed over death and there will be proven case of a man dead being brought back to life again Hour after hour the unequal struggle continues, and the latest re ports from St. Joseph's hospital indi- cate that the grip of death is being loosened and that the young man. electrocuted by terrific current, has a fighting chance.
 Modrzegueka was a workman in the big Great Northern shops, IS years of age and of powerful build. In feed ing a heavy bar of iron into a motor driven machine, in some unknown way he completed a short circuit and the full power of 4S0 volts of alternating current was transmitted through his body to the ground. He was picked up apparently dead, and Dr Stern who was immediately called, pronounced life extinct. Then began the wierdest sequence of which a human was ever victim.
 The body was removed to the city morgue, but a few hours later at the orders of the parents was transferred to the rooms of an undertaken for preparation for burial. The corpse was laid out upon a slab and the under taker was beginning his grewsome work when Deputy Coroner Murphy arrived 70 make the usual examination and certify to death. Something in the appearance of the flesh of the corpse aroused his interest. In a few minutes he gave a rush order to summon the most skillful physicians in the city and at once made slight incisions in the flesh. Blood flowed, clOtting upon the skin Other tests were applied and be- fore the wondering physicians every known test to determine death was body contained life.
 The undertaken was dismissed and the body hastily protected and taken instantly to the operating room of the big hospital where oxygen tanks and electric heating apparatus which lay an impelling grasp upon the heart and force the muscles of the lungs to ac- tion were brought into action. After many hours unmistakable action of the principal vital organs was detect ed. The fight continues hour by hour and at the bedside are the most skilled men of science who could be summon ed. Should the battle succeed it will be a case of the dead raised again to life and action.

@ HE average housekeeper does not have to be reminded that her cut glass and her silver must be taken care of most consistently and conscien- tiously. but many a one-nnd good ones, too-for some inexplicable reason Is prone to neglect her furniture. Perhaps, be- cause 1t Is furniture and substantial look ing, she reasons that Its durability will allow 1t to care for itself. Only when damage irreparable has been done does she wake up to the realization that she has allowed a good piece of furniture to become old and dilapidated before its time.
 Polishing Essential t''
 And the secret of preserving furniture is the polishing of it. Homemade pol ishes are often ver1table wonder workers in rehabilitating decrepit furniture. A polish, however, is not sufficient as a refurbisher unless the surface has been filled and the pores closed up. If the wood has been filled originally and the pores have absorbed a sufficient quantity of oil, the surface can be polished and put into splendid condition even after years of hard wear.
 wood with a highly vanished sur face should be treated with a thin polish only, as all cracks and pores in the wood are full then and cannot absorb more polish of a thick consistency. The ob- ject Is to cleanse the cracks and pores, not to ill them up again. In such cases soap and water will frequently be found of use However, before these are used, polish or oil should be rubbed over the

a waste of labor. When these are mo- ticeHble soap and water should be used 1 first.
 Care of a Table.
 Vanished mahogany, oak or walnut should be treated with vinegar ard oil, vinegar being the cleanser. This polish mhy be used in two ways. One is to ; mix the two ingredients, using one-third vinegar and two-thirds olive or linseed oili shake this thoroughly and rub on with a soft cloth; polish afterward with a dry rag. The other way is to first use the vinegar and then the oil, clear, put ting each on with a different cloth. Old walnut or mahogany with a soft or waxed' , finish should be kept always in a state, of luster. A smooth surfnce. such as the top of a table. should be polished with white wax, the top first being made quite clean, and then sprinkling the wax over the surface. The palm of the hand should D be used in rubbing this in until all the wax has disappeared and the finish of the i, top is even and high. To do this at home is difficult, but 1t pays in the end, for the surface is better protected, requires less rubbing and retains It's luster longer.
 Do not apply the wax after the lustre has been attained oftener than once ; month, but rub well with the hand. At ! first, however, thewax should be applied once 6 week. 6
