GERMANY'S INTEREST IN OUR
TARIFF

Naturally, the German government
and other governments in Europe take
q lively interest in the tariff debate at
Washington, for the outcome of the
congressional action will more or less
affect their industries and commerce.
1t is not extraordinary. therefore. that
the German government should upon
request. furnish information to our
government respecting German wages
and that the information should take
the form of answers to statements
made to the American tariff commits
sion and to congress by experts and
others. We live in a commercial and
industrial age in which the policies
of nations are shaped by the desire
for commercial advantage or by the
needs of an Industrial population. The
change of a schedule in our tariff law
may mean life or death for a great
German industry, and a few important
changes might involve serious social
as we'll as economical problems for a
country like Germany, where the mar
gin is so small for the laborer. We in
this country watched with much con-
Germ the preparation of the new Ger
man tariff, and we have never ceased to
resent the virtual embargo placed on
American meats, so we can understand
the concern felt in Germany and
France, now that the tariff boot is on
the other ieg.-Newark Star.

FROM OTHER PENS
ESPIONAGE AND INCOME TAX

ASNoA ANAN<AOI4 ANU 14N1ouE ~.
An interesting feature of the dis
cussion of Taxation 1neuuities and
Tax Reform" led by John q. White, of
Chicago, at the dinner of the Mil
waukee Sunset 4Ciub, was the clear
light in which Mr.. White presented
the contrast between the dignity of
the individual under Anglo Saxon
common. law and under the old Ro-
man law which colors the juriSpru-
dence of continental Europe. The
common law defends his freedom and
even under criminal accusation treats
him as innocent till proved guilty. The
French and German system of ad-
ministrative judges puts the judge on
the bench into a hostile attitude to
the accused from the start Under
that system the burden of proof is
thrown upon the accused. Under~tfat
system the individual is subjected to
espionage which would be detestable
and intolerable to citizens accustomed
to Anglo Saxon freedom.
So far as income taxation is success
full in Germany, it is so on account of
the espionage which is the rule of the
empire and the system whereby of
ficialism puts the citizen on the de-
fensive in all his relations to the state.
Mr.. White is no doubt right in his be-
lief that Americans would resent the
attitude of officialism which is Gus
tonary in the land of the Kaiser and
also in France. although France is a
republic Wisconsin.

No High Heels for English Women.
'It is the rarest of sights to see a
woman in the streets of London or any
other part of England wearing high
heeled Shoes said Don F. Winters, of
Detroit.
Being in the shoe business myself, I
am in the habit of noting the footgear
affected by the female element wher-
ever / travel. If you see a woman in
London sporting a pair of French heels
it is a safe bet that she came from the
other side of the channel or from the
United States. The English dame wears
a thick so1ed, low heeled shoe, very
serviceable. but not elegant and grace
full. according to our America notions.
She does this, think, because of the
belief that there is more comfort in the
c1umsier shoe, yet her Yankee sister
will stoutly maintain the contrary.
Another cause may be the habit the
English women have of doing a vast
deal of walking, and much pedestrian
ism has a tendency to the running
over of heels Of lofty. build. '-Balti.

Predict Death for Todd.

Experienced aeronauts are discuss

balloon ascension of 10 miles in his
project to establish communication
with the planet Mars. Prof Todd ex-
poets to make the daring flight in
September, and Leo Stevens of New
York. is now constructing large bal
loon of special design to be used in
the scientific work
Men who have devoted their lives
to sballooning say 1t has always been
regarded as impossible for a man
carrying balloon to reach anything
like an altitude of 10 miles. and that
even II the balloon would rise to that
point the atmosphere would not sus-
tain human life.
There are at present no authentic
records of the highest attitudes
reached by balloons. and it is hoped
they do nothing more, will inspire
new interest on both sides of the
Atlantic and open the way for i'm
portant scientific discoveries.
Aeronauts say that at a certain all
titude the air becomes so thin and
carrying the necessary weight of a
basket and man will no longer rise;
therefore to rise above that point be-
comes impossible. The weight of the
air on the earth Is one and two
tenth ounces to the cubic foot. At
1-2 miles from the earth it weighs
only six-tenths of an ounce a cubic
foot, and it has been figured out that
at 10 miles the weight of the at
mosphere would be less than fifteen
one-hundredths of an ounce to the
cubic foot, and that balloon carry
ing more than the weight of the gas
envelope could never reach that
point.-New York Herald.

City he was introduced TO his own
brother, Mathew Brennan, whom he
had not seen for twenty years Neither
