A Fiction Too Strange for Truth.

There is an abundant supply OF ro-
nance in real life. in this as in every
land, without resort to fiction. A tale
that is receiving a current newspaper
circulation merits permanent retirement
because Of its utter irnpossibnity. It has
not even the merit Of clever plausibfity.
The narrative summarized is that a girl
missed her engagement ring. accused her
fance Of its theft, caused his arrest.
conviction. and Imprisonment. found the
ring in a spring hole after twenty years.
hunted UP the wrong lover and married
him.
Only the persistence Of this yarn war
rants its reduction to the absurd. II IS
hard, indeed. to tell the ways Of a maid.
let alone those Of a youth and maid, but
this particular invention lacks even the
merit Of clever device. In the first place.
II the maid really loved the swain. her
sentiment would have implied an element
OF respect, founded in feminine perception
Of his character. that would have re-
moved him absolutely from the radius of
possible suspicion. But. even If perverted
imagination caused his indictment IN her
own mind. she would shrink from ex-
posing to view her own mistake IN judg-
ment in accepting a lover so false.
Moreover. If impulse or temporary anger
should mislead her so far as 10 cause
his arrest, If her femininity were normal
she would relent If she foresaw his i'm
prlsonment as the result. Finally, grant
ing the arrest and prosecution. conviction
without some shadow Of proof and with
out the ring itself in evidence would be
legally impossible.
But beyond ali this lies the utter IN
credibility Of the alleged matrimonial
finale to this weird fiction. Remember
that. in the words Of the playwright,
when the curtain rises after the orchestra
has whanged away for FIVE minutes,
twenty long years have elapsed. Think
Of the changes they must have wrought.
Time would have written his traces even
more upon the woman than upon the
man. But more than that remains the
wild improbability that any man, after
enduring such maltreatment and injus-
tlce. could be dolt, so utterly devoid OF
both intelligence and self-respect as to
marry such woman. No repentance
could undo the wrong OF folly which. In
itself it should be repeated. is incredible in
normal womanhood. For her the moving
finger has writ and not all her tears can
erase one word The only hope for her
lies in the happy probability that years
have taught her wisdom. and that she has
developed into one OF those lovely old
maids whose sweetness Of temper and

south Has Hopes OF Something Com
ing OF This ROOseveItian Creation.
From the Macon Teegraph
II would appear from the washington
dispatches that the so-caned ''Informa-
ton Bureau" which was created for the
avowed purpose OF directing immigrants
where there Is a scarcity OF labor. Is not
likely 70 live much longer. It seems that
the Federation Of Labor has delivered a
memorial 10 the Department OF labor
praying for a favorable consideration OF
the abolition OF this bureau. which is
objected 10 as an information agency
maintained al public expense. although Il
"discriminates against American work
ingInen in favor OF newly landed for
eigneTs" The bureau. Il Is claimed. has
busted itself chiefly in sending out thou
sands OF postal cards 20 farmers and
manufacturers asking what kind Of inmi-
grant labor they n7sy need. and it is
stated that places have been found FOR
about 5000 immigrants since the work was
begun.
As President Taft IS disposed 20 abolish
some OF the many expensive bureaus and
commissions hastily established under the
previous administration he VIII be the
more likely 10 be Influenced b. the argl-
ment OF the Federation OF labor We
heartily approve OF the Presidents gen
eral policy In this matter. but are loath 70
see this particular bureau so until after q

hoped that the Southern States might re-
celve many needed and desirable fmmi-
grants through rs agency.

Birds, Berries, and Cats.

The birds have received a lot Of edifying
bur nonedible sympathy from Audubon
societies and unorganized friends. who
have opposed their wanton destruction
TO make holidays for huntsmen or to
! adorn the headgear Of the heartless. The
motive of this campaign in their behalf
has not been solely humane or entirely
unseihsh. The birds were 10 be saved. We
were told. not because Of their beauty
in living flight. or the animate sentiment
Of their yearly courtships and nest build
ings. or the melodious charm OF their
matin and evening song. but for the strict
ly utilitarian purpose Of eating the In
sects Nobody seems TO have had any
consideration for the insects IN this ar
rangement. 1t seems 10 have been as
sumed that their natural purpose was to
multiply themselves into food for the
birds. This arrangement may seem a
trihe hard on the insects. but the as
sumption was that the insects were made
for that purpose.
It Is all very well to save the birds from
the pot-huater and the mfIiner. but there
Is complaint that the birds fail 10 restrict
themselves 10 the particular diet for
which their lives are saved. The tooth
some grub may serve for the substance
Of a repast. but the bird demands dessert
The winged epieure must crafty his
eplcurean taste with the juicy strawberry
and the luscious cherry. These are a2-
petites whose qualification threatens the
constancy Ct friendship. There is such
thing. although the bird does not know
it, as pushing hospitality too far.
But there IS a remedy at hand. The
cycle Of nature provides a preyer for
whatever preys. A new and useful field
OF usefulness IS here opened 10 the do
mestic cat. Since the days OF old Rameses.
when the pampered cat was an object OF
worship and the priests OF Egypt read
mysteries in the dnations OF feline eyes.
the reasons for the being OF the ordinary
domestic cat have been obscure. The
trap Of commerce IS an effective substi-
tute for hts capricious and uncertain
enmity to the mouse and rat The cat
may harmonize with the reminiscent
solitude Of the old maid: but his notorious
lack Of affection puts the cat out OF the
pale as a domestic pet His cultivated
and well-groomed gTaces have won a
feeting vogue at cat shows. but they do
not atone for a certain seIhshness that
fees adversely and responds only to
creature comforts
At last there is way for the cat 20
prove his right to existence. An OBJ
servant gardener in New England has
discovered that a cat tied IN the middle
Of a strawberry bed will keep every bird
away. simultaneously the cat is kept out
Of the creamery and at a safe distance
from the cage Of the canary. This is a
plan that commends Itself TO thorough
trial.

Farewell to the Income Tax

Against the adoption Of a constitution
al amendment empowering Congress 10
impose a tax On incomes we have not
word 10 say. II Congress is without au-
thority TO impose such tax. it ought TO
be clothed with that authority for use
either IL an emergency or for economic
and social purposes, as the national legis-
lature may see fit. During the last Pres
ioential campaign Mr.. Taft was fairly
confident that Congress possessed power
TO levy an income tax. At a moment
when the passage Of an income tax
amendment through the Senate is i'm
minent, he conceives it desirable 10
plant himself pretty squarely upon
the Democratic platform. which de-
olares both for an income tax
and for the submission of a constitu-
tonal amendment specifically authoriz-
ing Congress 10 levy and collect a tax
upon individual and corporate incomes -
Nevertheless. those who believe in
the immediate adoption of taxation
upon incomes as preferable 10 any
other new form Of Federal taxation will
AT once perceive that the President s
recommendation Of a constitutional
amendment means simply an indefinite
postponement Of the income tax oues-
tion, and favorable action in accordance
with his message signihest defeat for the
income takers.
Mr. Tafts proposal for a tax on the
net income Of corporations, coupled with
a suggestion that the tax may be en-
ployed as an entering wedge for national
supervision Of corporate transactions.
raises rather important questions TO be
dealt with at the fag end Of a special
session devoted to tariff legislation. A
tax on corporation dividends may prove
anything but a relief TO the consumer.
10 say nothing Of the small holder Of
corporate securities It may serve the
corporations as a readyfexcuse for main
tainirg high prices Of commodities and
Of public service. It is conceivable that
the railroads, for example. may find y
possible 70 recoup a Federal tax from the
shippers Of freight. As a practical meas
ure for shifting The burden of taxation
TO the shoulders Of the well-to-do. II
bears no comparison with a tax On in
comes. especially a graduated tax. If the
corporations have got TO pay the price
Of protection, as Senator Aldrich has
evidently decided, we judge they VIII be
thankful to be assessed in such a wav
that the tax can be handed down to the
mythical consumer.

The unseeing eyes Of Senator Gore. Of

ties and the plain lies OF the tarif-boost-
ers. Mr. Dolliver Is doing yeoman's
work In a good cause; but for wit. for

II any of Aldrich's devoted band have
ever been ill at ease in lighting one who

long lost that soft sensation. Unequal
the match has usually been, but IN IA
vor OF Oklahoma Senator Warren had

tariff that makes al things thrive. the
number OF sheep IN the Cnited States
had decreased from 100000 in 1913 to
45,ooe.000 In 1905. The reason was that.
In 1902 the European WOOL market was
demOrallzed IN consequence OF the Boer
war OF 1899 Senator Gore understood;
was left 20 infer that the reason that The number
Of sheep decreased IN the United States was this:
The sheep IN S0-th Africa belonged 70 the Intsrnz-
