PENDANTS.

ceased speaking to him, and showed

his newspapers offensive to Cooper

written it, but the court ruled if he

Omaha. Neb., Feb. 23.-Quiet reigns

ton is found in the fact that the ex
odus of Greeks from South Omaha has
been practically complete. The city

SOME STRAIGHT Tips.

Don't bet your employers money on a
sure winner. The horse might fail dead.
Don't imagine that you can pick a
winner by glancing over the dope
sheets or the form chart. Horses quite
frequently fail to run to form.
Don't get hossy and plunge on the
second race because you happen to win
couple Of dollars on the first event.
The poorhouses are full Of plungers.
Don't think for single instant thar
you know as much about the racing
game as you will when the meeting is
over. We have to pay for our wisdom
IN such matters.
Don't take q tip from the first tout
you meet and try 10 make a killing"
Oh bogus inside information. The tout
seldom knows and never cares which
horse wins.
Don't forget to pay your grocery bill
before YOU take car to the race track.
You may want a stsnd-off again next
month.

INCOME TAX FIGHT.

With characteristic impudence SEN
ator Aldrich has made a proposition to
refer the income tax amendment to the
committee on judiciary, with instruc-
tons to report at the regular session
next December. The judiciary commit
tee, under the Craftsmanship Of Clark Of
Wyoming, is controlled by Aldrich and
Hale, who gave the members thereon
their places. The committee. of course.
would report that the United States su-
preme court had already held an income
tax 70 be unconstitutional and would
recommend against the adoption of any
of the pending amendments and, the
tariff bill being out of the way, the in
come tax matter would be dead.
But public sentiment in some quarters
Of the country has been aroused in be-
half OF the amendment and Republi-
can senators are getting letters and tel
egrams from their constituents de-
handing its enactment. Some of the
senator's in question are aiding Aldrich
in his efforts to stave off a vote in order
to prevent going upon record, being cp-
posed to this form Of direct taxation
and at the same time afraid to vote
against it on account Of the expressed
wishes of their constituents.
Many Of the ablest lawyers in the
country believe that an income tax
provision can be framed to meet the OBJ
jections Of the supreme court, and Pres
ident Taft is on record as sharing this
view. although he would have it enacted
into law only as last resort. At the
present time the fight to get a roll call
has reached an acute stage, and the
noses SO far as counted are about equal
ly divided. Considerable interest has
been aroused. and the whole country is
awaiting the outcome. The fight on the
Republican side against the senate ma
chine is being led by Senators Cummins
and Borah. while the doubly distia-
guished Smoot and Gentle George Suth-
erland are herding with the goats, as
usual

the world, and sold something like 50
per cent cheaper than they are disposed
Of in the Sunfiower state. II might be
added that the International Harvester
company has been prosecuted under the
antitrust laws and barred from doing
business in Kansas. But plows. har-
vesters and sewing machines are not
the only articles sold much cheaper
abroad than at home. The list is long
one, and embraces some Of the most fla
grant examples Of tariff robbery and
extortfon.
One would naturally suppose that I'M
der normal conditions a manufacturer
having goods TO sell would give his fell
low countrymen a shade the best Of it
in the matter Of prices. Unfortunately,
the patriotism Of the manufacturer does
not extend in that direction, and in
stead Of the home consumer getting
lower prices or an even break. he is
charged double. and laws are enacted
to prevent him getting them any cheap
er. That's a plain. truthful and IN
vanished statement regarding the tar
if. but if the consumer hasn't sense
enough TO protect himself he viii prob
ably be robbed III the days to come as
he has IN the past It is said that the
Lord looks out for the lame and the
lazy, but there has been no specially
appointed guardian for the chump who
is continually having his pockets picked
while periodically waving the flag of
his country.

WORKS BOTH WAYS.

Excepting a few disingenuous news
papers, the Republican press Of the
country is not getting much satisfac-
ton out of the party disintegration on
both sides Of the senate in votes on
tariff amendments. Democrats, pro-
verbally impatient of party discipline,
expected TO see their southern senators
go astray on tariff donations affecting
their own particular interests, but the
Republicans have new spectacle in
the revolt Of an influential section of
their members in the senate.
Heretofore such differences over the
distribution Of tariff plumber as affected
Republicans were adjusted in secret
conference as a family affair. Now
adays the bonds of discipline are loos-
ened until no Democratic critic Of Al
drich and mis- bill is quite so persistent
and bitter as any one Of half a dozen
insurgent Republicans. For instance.
In the vote on the round iron duty. one
Democrat, McEnery Of Louisiana, voted
with the Republicans, aid his reason
is apparent in the duties on rice and
sugar. On the other hand, eleven Re
publican senator's voted for the lower
duty and against Aldrich, and these in
cluded such prominent men as Bever-
idge, Borah. Cummins, Dolliver, LaFol-
iette and Nelson.
So strong is the spirit Of revolt
against the Aldrich program that the
committee has had a very small margin
in its favor on the important votes, and
its hold on the situation is likely tc be
broken at any time II g particularly
obnoxious feature Of the bill is brought
TO test, When Mr.. Aldrich. on Fri
day, suggested that a vote on the bill
and all amendments be fixed for June L.
he found very decided obstacle in the
attitude OF the insurgents.
1t would. Of course. be greatly in ia
vor Of the Aldrich measure il i. could
be hurried through without extended
debate; and there is no question but
that he has a tactical advantages in the
lmpatlence OF the country at large TO
have the tariff settled. But the indie
pendent Republican senator's have evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds TO know
what the bill contains. and why. if it
takes them all summer TO find out, and
The bare fact that they can prevent IN
immediate vote is significant Of their
strength.
Altogether the disintegration OF par
ties, which has been a favorite subject
of Republican comment heretofore.
seems to be working both ways. with
more disastrous effects in Republican
discipline than in the Democracy. Fur
