movements to the necessity OF maintain
ing the railroad traffic. That is to say. he
should allow an approaching car to pass
him before crossing. He who undertakes
to cross the tracks ahead of such a car
does so at his own risk. Any other rule
will make a travesty of the rapid transit
service.
The street cars run on fixed lines and
cannot turn out They can be easily seen,
and save when they are obscured by
passing cars they are always plainly In
evidence Motormen are supposed to be
restricted to certain speeds, and in the
main keep reasonably within the limits.
Excessive speed. however IS not the
cause Of most of the street car accidents,
but they are caused chiefly by the
failure of mOtormen closely to observe
the track, and particularly the failure OF
pedestrians to make sure of clear
course. No motorman can be blamed for
striking a person who suddenly appears
Immediately in front of his car from be-
hind a passing car. But he is blame
worthy when he fails to sound his gong
at such point in a manner to warn the
possible victim or to give the signal to a
pedestrian whom he plainly sees on the
track unaware of his approach. There Is
no known means of preventing accidents
to children in city streets save TO keep
them off the streets. Their sudden. err
ratio movements often carry them under
the cars SO swiftly that 1t Is imposs bic
for even the most alert motorman to save
them. Herein lies one Of the strongest
arguments for the maintenance OF public
Fairgrounds.

Street Car Accidents.

Within the past few days the street

own lack of watchfulness. The old rule

The June Army.
From the Toledo Blade.


The reception which the world must
annually give to the university and col
lege students is no less a problem fol
the world than for the students. Con
ventional humor demands that work-a-
day life be cold Of shoulder, Indifferent
suspicious. In reality the student Is re-
ceived with kindness and tolerance. His
tremendous self-confidence is not infre-
quentiy accepted At its face value, his
youth with gratitude. But the graduate
is not always willing to take the gifts
that are held out to him. His attitude
Is of one who demands q dividend the
day after investment. Salaries Offered
him. too high usually for the training
brought, disappoint him. He looks fol
the easy hours of the school. Discipline
Of business irxs him and much OF the
routine he considers beneath his learn
ing and his dignity. There still ring ir
his ears the songs of commencement ant
the poetic. Impractical atmosphere of the
college towns Is long in leaving the re-
cesses Of his memory. 1t is here that the
world has its problem-cOnsiderins how
long 1t is becoming to be patient, study
ing the individual for his strength tc

Commissioner Leupp's Retirement.

Francis Z. Leupp entered upon his serv-
ice as commissioner of Indian affairs
with a warm sympathy for the Indians
themselves and keen appreciation Of the
difficulties attending the administration
of their interests. In the course of his
long and successful career as journalist
Mr.. Leupp had occasion to study the In
dian problem closely and was exception
ally equipped for successful service at
the head of the office. The high expecta-
tions which his friends felt when he ac-
cepted the appointment rendered by
President Roosevelt were fully justified,
and Mr. Leupp has now retired on ac-
count of the failure of his health. leaving
record of dillgent and effective work of
which he has just reason TO be proud.
President Taft, in his letter accepting
his unwelcome resignation, expressed the
appreciation. in which the public shares,
of the jealous effective services rendered
by Mr.. Leupp during his incumbency.

The Income Tax.

BY the Presidents plan we should get
a clear expression from the people as to
an income tax. No campaign has as yet
developed public sentiment distinctly on
that subject. 1t is true that last year
the democratic party declared for the
tax, while the republicans were silent.
But the election did not turn in any
measure on that issue. Other issues oc-
cuped attention, and Judge Tafts sue
cess rested upon them. The income tax
was OF no force in the contest.
This is made very plain now by the sit
uation in the Senate. The republican
members Of that body who favor an in
come tax. and would be glad to vote for
il today without special instructions from
the country, are not new converts. They
held their present views last year. but Of
course did not express them. Standing
on the Chicago platform, they addressed
themselves in their campaign speeches to
the questions grouped in that instru-
ment.
Nor, although the Denver platform
carried the issue approvingiy, did the
democratic spellbinders lay any stress on
it, Other things occupied their time, and
brought out what strength their party ex-
hibited at the polls. Mr.. Bryan was not
defeated because of his advocacy of an
income tax.
But by submitting the question to the
st@tes we should ascertain precisely what
the voters desire. The issue will not be
obscured or subordinated. but will stand
out in its full meaning and proportions.
Yes. or no, will be the response.
1t is predicted that the campaign will

AS the friends of the tax must show n
strength of three-fourths, its enemies will
be able to concentrate their efforts and
invest huge campaign funds where they
will be most effective. We may probably
expec. liberal use of money, but 1t is
not likely that money will carry the day.
II the tax is approved In the way pro-
posed, will the power be reserved, or ex-
ercised at once? Will the corporations
tax be repealed. and the income tax sub
stituted? The question is pertinent and
important.
But no answer is possible now. A cam
paign might follow with such a PROPOSE
tion as the issue. Something will depend
on how the corporation tax works. II il
proves a good revenue producer, and no
very unpopular exemptions appear, the
people may decide to continue it. But
disappointment in IT might result in its
overthrow, and the adoption of the other
tax.
The main thing at present is the sub
mission of the income tax to the voters.
AS yet no mandate for such tax has
been issued by them, and the party in
power should not act in SO important a
matter until distinctly instructed.

So Easy !!

1t seemed SO easy. long ago,
This tariff regulation.
That to the great world was to show
A gay. contented nation!
No Industries we'd lubricate,
Till they were over greasy
With fat fried out in hot debate,
All, then it seemed so easy!
The days have come; the days have gone
The vernal flower has faded.
We waken in the summer dawn,
With nerves and tempers jaded.
And still we hear remarks severe.
Or protests frank and breezy.
And soon the autumn will draw near
And once 1t seemed SO easy!
