THE CHIvALRY OF a cRIMINAL.

There are redeeming features In al
most every life.
Note what Richard A. Wade of Chi
cago did.
Wade was criminal lawyer. Grow
ing greedy for money, he went into
partnership with one of the thieves
whom he defended. He was made
custodian of costly stolen furs, was ar
rested, tried and found guilty.
The wretch!
Yes, but wait. There's an exquisite
chivalry mixed up with this matter.
From the time OF his arrest Wade
kept all knowledge of his disgrace
from his wife, who was slowly dying
with consumption. She died utterly
| ignorant Of her husbands crime.
To the last Wade's wife believed him
noble minded man. And he was no.
ble-to her.
After his preliminary trial he was
admitted, to ball and went back and
forth from his office TO his home. keep
ing the newspapers from his wife.
He practiced the same merciful de
ception during the trial
And then. his wife being upon the
point of death. Wade secured a delay
in the execution OF his sentence. inter
posing every legal objection he was
able to raise
He fought for time until his wife
could diel
And the poor woman never once sus-
pected. She died with her arms
around her husbands neck. believing
In and loving him to the very end.
BE said he wanted her TO die easy
In her mind"
After the funeral Wade told the
court he was willing and ready to take
his punishment.
Well
There is something fine in that mans
makeup.
1t Is Dickens, is II not. who says
there Is door to every human heart?
1t may be up a winding stair. but II
you Will climb the stair and knock at
the door and utter some sacred name
the door OF that heart Will open to you
The door Of wade's heart opened TO
the sacred name OF bis dying wife.
Try as you may, you cannot think
too harshly OF Richard A. Wade.
And. furthermore, It is a fact that
The doctrine of total depravity" is
absolutely untrue. 1t is one OF the
hideous things remaining TO us from
harsh scholastic theology OF the dark
ages.
There is some good In the worst of
us. as there is some bad In the best of
US.

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish III curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or

cessity of being compelled to go often

is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine

THE PROTECTION SOUTH.


We said the other day that many Southern
leaders were confused in their notions about
tariff taxation because they had not vet become
accustomed 10 the new economic ideas which
have taken root in their section and altered its
attitude toward the protection policy. The re-
cent protest of the Hon. Roger .. Mills against
what he considered an exhibition of "degener-
acy" on the part of Southern Senators and
Representatives has raised the question whether
the Souths spokesmen Of to-day are really de
generate" whether 1Ir. Mills is merely mised
by the prejudices Of the past in thinking them
SO. 1t is noteworthy that his complaint is
echoed by few influential Southern newspapers.
He is still h0nOred and respected as a leader Of
Southern opinion at a time when the South was
q far greater power in national politics than it
is now; but il is generally recognized tacitIy
( if not openly. that the ideas which he and his
associates fought for in the SOS and early COS
do not greatly interest the South to-day.
The states below the Potomac and the Ohio
are more or less unconscously reshaping their
tariff views to fit their present economic inter
ests. For the most part the revolution is in
complete and many Southern statesmen and
newspapers are advocating what is practically
a policy Of out-and-out protection, while using
old catchwords like incidental protection and
equalzed taxation for revenue purposes TO
bridge over the gulf between new notions and
'lfl ifhieSSiollS. IN a rev instances. how ever.
these palations are being dispensed with the
conversion having reached the final stage and
being frankly avowed We take pleasure In
reproducing some recent expressions In ''The
Charlotte Observer" one of the ablest and most
influential OF Southern newspapers. because
they do not balk at acknowledging a complete
break with the antiprotection traditions of the
South. Said The Observer last week com
meniing on the fact that many Southern Sena-
tors and Representatives are still influenced bv
tradition to follow anti protection leadership
like that of Mr.. Mills, Mr. Carlisle and Mr.
Vest:
The tariff question, it must be remembered
IS not very much of a political fetch for North
Carolina, which was largely Whig and protec-
zionist even in the heyday of slavery Even in
states where the fetch status seems almost

their folly in bowling down To-Day before the

Nlsed Tor slavery South. This economic doc

THE STAMP TAN.

1t is gratifying to The Tribune to note the
general approval recently given TO its suggestion
of about four weeks ago that a stamp tax on
bank checks and commercial paper would serve
better as an additional source of federal revenue
than a tax on inheritanceS, a tax on incomes or
4 tax on the net receipts of corporations. On
May % We discussed the various supplementary
taxes under consideration at Washington, and
after pointing out the objections to imposts on
inheritances already pre-empted by the states
on income. declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court, ana on corporation dividends
or net receipts. because falling unequally and
exempting one form Of income from personality
while overtaxing another said:
While those forms Of special taxation all have
their advocates we wonder why no one pro-
poses to revive the stamp tax on bank checks
checks Is one Of the easiest possible taxes 70
collect Indeed. il collects itself. and it falls
equitably and lightly on those who pay it 1t
has proved in the past burden on the public,
and its revival now would cause little or no
complaint. In our opinion it has more advan-
tages than anv one of the three taxes now be-
ing considered and is open tc fewer objections
Il would probably raise just about the revenue
needed to supplement receipts from customs
under the Senate bill.
Since May % our former neighbor. The New
York Times and our neighbor. The SUM-.
have advocated return TO stamp taxes SO
has The Washington Post" and so have many
other newspapers which properly consider the
stamp tax less onerous. less inequitable and
less costly to collect than any Of the schemes
Of taxation which have been considered by Con
gress Senator Depew expressed some surprise
in an interview published III The Tribune on
Sunday that the availability of the stamp tax
had been overlooked. 1t is still available Why
not re-enact it as the easiest and most prac-
ticable solution of the special tax problem?

PROMOTING SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

Gratifying as is the efficient insistence of our
government upon open door and equal opp0r-
Tunities fer American capital in China we must
regard as Of at least comparable Importance its
promotion Of tie establishment of American
banking institutions IN the various countries of
South America. In some respects. indeed. the
latter may be regarded as actually the more inn
portaHL China is al present much more popu-
lOns than South America. and may, therefore
present q larger field for financial and COM
mercisl enterprise. But South America is much
nearer AZ hand. there is or should he less com
petition there. and the United States has in it a
political interest which IL has not in China The
principle upon which we now demand square
deal IN China is only a few years old and is
after all, little more than an obitcr dictuTn of
our diplomacy. though Of course. II is one
which should increasingly and reSoluteIy be
maintained. The principle which calls for the
proposed enterprise in South America is one Of
the eldest and most essential in the funda-
mental foreign policy of the nation.
Ia recent years we have frequently and car
neSrly urged in these columns precisely such

conditions being equal or nearly so. they will
give their patronage TO those who grant such
accommodation rather than 20 those who insist

merchanfs give credit freely. and their doing

cepted the tuition Of Southern leaders on the
tariff issue The Charlotte Observer is pub
lished in a progressive manufa cturing section OF
North Carolina, and its eyes have been opened
to the benefits of policy which develops and
dfversfes industry. It is probably the more
willing to defend its new beliefs because those
beliefs have been popuarized in its constituency.
It's example is likely to be followed in hun
dreds of other Southern communities where
manufacturing industries have taken root ana
rroSpered Those communities will create a
sentiment to which the South's representatives
at Washington viii respond, not apoogeticaliy
as they are doing now. but openly and gladly
Said The Observer further:
The strenuosities of the Southern free trad
ers and other anti-prOtectiOn extremists WouId
astonish and grieve even if they had not
singled out Southern interests for their chief
attack They are fighting against the revoIu-
ton Of the earth on its axis, against the course
Of American history and against the welfare OF
their people
That, we believe, will before long be the pre-
vailing sentiment at the South.
