wages than eve before, and with the
tariff on woods not changed an iota,
we get circular saying that lowing

The speaker intimated that trading
on the lack of exact information about
the tariff on the part of the public,
certain dealers and manufacturers
were going to raise prices regardless
OF anthing congress could do.

Would Tax All Incomes.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The board OF
directors of the National Association
OF Manufacturers has issued the fol.
lowing official statement addressed
"To the Congress of the United
States"
1--WE deplore the efforts OF dema.
gogues to segregate American citizens
and make government supporters OF
one class and charity recipients of an.
other; we'll knowing the character OF
u best grade workmen, we under
stand that they do not relish attempts
to make them recipients OF any other
mans contributions.
1--WE, therefore, recommend, if nee
essary for income purposes, the en-.
actment Of measures providing q jus,
and equitable tax On all citizens. Az
an illustration, We suggest one-eighth
Of one per cent. on oil incomes. This
would require IS cents from the mar
who earns $500 . year and 81, $50 from
the man who receives q, ZOO. 900 q
year. A condition making for upright
manhood and avoiding the present
effort to make supporters of one class

REFUSED HONOR TO PIONEER.

1t Is saddening to observe any re.
luctance Of members of . given pro.
fession to honor the pioneers who
preceded them in the long ago and
who, with all their insuflciencies,
nevertheless taught after.comers at
least the rudiments of their vocation.
A notable case in point is the refusal
of the society of Naval Architects
to admit Noah to honorary member
ship In their ancient and honorable
guild, says the Kansas City Journal.
After . calm and dispassionate sur
vey OF the situation, without pretend.
ing to dictate the vote of 80 distin-
Ruished q body of designers as the
naval architects. we are impressed
that no serious concession would
have been made by according this
somewhat empty and wholly postum
nous honor to the father Of naval ar.
chitecture.
Considering the obstacles with which
he had to contend, Noah did q pretty
good job, from the standpoint of the
layman, though the professional ar.
chitects undoubtedly have discovered
serious defects in the structural plans
OF the ark. But this pioneer craft &C.
complished the mission for which it
was designed, and it was without
doubt the masterpiece of naval con.
struction up to the time of it's launch.
ing. In the first place, it was a hurry
up order and was completed barely
in time, for the first sprinkle began
about the time the eight historic men,
bers of the crew and the menagerie got
safely aboard.
In a hardly be urged with justice
that Noah in running his boat aground
proved his lack of seamanship, for
the main purpose of the cruise, that
of keeping dry, had been accomplished
and when the only bit of dry land
extant at the time of debarkation ap.
peared, Mount Ararat was the logical
port of entry. Probably Noah could
have kept out Of the mud for a few
more weeks if any good purpose was
to be served thereby, but what was
the use?
1t is gratifying to note that Noah Is
not entirely without friends in the
association of naval architects, though
the majority was against him, adding
one more lamentab BILE instance to the
long list Of u%ngrateful ~posterity. For
If it had not been for Noah, where
would the naval architects be now?

How Things Are Reversed In Japan.
In Japan the natives have a habit
OF reversing nearly everything, &C.
cording to our accepted ideas of how
things should be done. Thus, a Jap
anese workman pulls the plane toward
him, q blacksmith blows the bellows
with his feet, the cooper holds tubs
with his feet, and nearly everyone sits
down to work. Horses are put in their
stables the reverse way, for the horses
flank is where his head should be.
Japanese screws screw the other way,
and Japanese locks lock to the left.
