A year Of disaster in the his.
= sSxcWN tory Of the modern world
~v That Is the black record
w. which Time has entered in
his books for the year
which has Just closed. A quarter of
million people destroyed In awful
catacylsms, billions of dollars worth
Of property wiped out of existence, a
sum of pain and human anguish which
can never be expressed in words or
fgures-such is the balance which
must be carried to the debit side of
the worlds account books.
The mention of the word catastro-
phe will OF course bring the thoughts
of every one back to the great Italian
earthquake, the greatest single dis
aster in the worlds history, tragedy
which cost $4,000 lives and wiped out
of existence great and historic cities.
In the shadow of that terrible holo-
caust the world has failed to realize
that 1t was merely the climax Of a
long series of horrors which followed
one on the heels of the other from
the first day of January. 1908, to the
first day Of January, 1909.

REPUBLICANS GIVE TAFT
HEARTIEST ENDORSEMENT
Nominations Made by Pennsyl-
Yania State Convention

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 16.-The
republican state convention met here
today and nominated the following
ticket to be voted for in November:
Auditor general-Arthur T. Sisson,
Erie.
State easurer-Former State Sen
ator Jeremiah A. Stober, Lancaster.
Associate justice of the supreme
court-Judge Robert Won Moschzisker,
Philadelphia.
The candidates named were slated by
the state organization, of which United
States Snator Penrose is the head.
The platform adopted contains a
warm Endorsement of President Taft.
1t says:
President Taft's profound knowledge of the
science of government, his deep human sym
pathy his conceded love of Justice and ap-
probation of the real needs of prosperous
and progressive people viii enable him to carry
forward in his way the great policies of
the Roosevelt administration with which he
expected that under his wise leadership those
policies viii be developed and such additional
ones adopted Will make real and effective
the American demand for the equality of right
and opportunity at home, and that respect and
those privileges abroad which are accorded to
the most favored nation.
The platform indorses the protective
policy and asserts that the republican
party is fulfilling its promise to revise
the tariff. and we believe that such
revision should be true revision and
not an attempt TO merely put rates up
or down."
The position taken by the Pennsyl-
Vania senators and representatives on
the tariff revision is indorsed.

FOR CRITICISING SENATE
Washington Reporters Called
"Joke Sifters of Gallery"

WASHINGTON, June 16.-During his
speech in the senate on the zinc sched-
ule today Hepburn of Idaho paid his
respects to the representatives of the
press. He was diverted from the regu-
lar path of his remarks by an editorial
suggestion in a Washing ton morning
paper that IAN ad valorem duty on
tariff speeches delivered in the senate,
probably would not produce enough
revenue to pay the senator's salaries
Discussing this expression, he re-
ferred to the Washington representa-
tives of the newspapers as the Joke
sifters in the gallery" and declaring
that they were not interested in the
zinc schedule. He said; IF you get up
some diverting controversy that verges
upon disregard of the rules of this
body then you are happy"
Through the courtesy of the senate,
he said, the papers representatives oc-
cupied palatial and luxurious quarters
in the capitol and were even permitted
ito walk on the floor of the senate" He
declared the paper to have put itself
in the position of a guest who misbe-
HAYES himself at his hosts table"

CORPORATIONS AbIe to Paw

The tax on net income is prefera ble
to one prOpOrtionate to percenta ge
Of the gross receipts. because il is a
tax upon success and not failure 1t
imposes a burden al the source of the
income at time when the corpora ton
IS well able TO pay and when collection

Another merit Of this tax is the fed
eral supervision which must be exer-
cised in order to make the law effect

While the faculty of assuming a cor

utility in the business world it is also
true that substantially all of the

aroused the public TO the necessity of
reform were made possible by the use
of this very faculty.
