It Taft's program for the enact

sesolution submitting the question
amending the constitution so as to
permit Congress to levy and collect a
tax on incomes without regard to ap-
oortionment among the states. Mr..
Aldrich will make the statement that
he believes consideration of schedules
may be finished by Monday and he
will suggest that the postponement OF
of the income tax and corporation tax
measures be until that date.
At caucus of the Democratic Sen
ators today it was decided that the
minority shall stand by their previous
declaration in favor of the enactment
Of an income tax law. at the present
session. The caucus was well at
tended.
There were speeches by Senators
Bailey, Sively, Culberson, Money ane
Rayner, and brief remarks by numer
GUS others in which the opinion was
expressed that the administration
movement in favor of placing ta1
on net earnings on corporations i
designed to prevent the income tai
amendments from reaching a direc
vote.
All of these senators did not de
| nounce the plan of President Taft 70
the taxing of corporations. Man,
democrats believe in that plan, bu

1t was only the other day that Sen

lette's reported illness that it was "all
nonsense"
We may well believe that the illness
OF these two eminent men was not
really Illness of these two eminent
men was not really illness, but we
may be sure that it was not nonsense.
Cynical persons will say that in Mr..
Harriman's case the needed it in his
business and probably this will ex-
plain Mr.. EaFollette's aches and pains
with equal veracity.
Ever since the beginning of record
ed time sickness has been one OF the
useful expedients in business policies
OF all kinds. In diplomacy, states
manship, money getting, love making,
sickness has played an important part.
And the man who can't fall sick when
sickness is the best card to play at
the moment does not know how to
play the game.
OF course, Mr.. Hartman was not
i'll. Neither was Mr.. LaFollette But
the illness was not nonsense in. either
case. It was stroke OF good sense,
we may be sure, although we may
never know whether it effected its OBJ

get sick, like little men, but with
them you never can tell. It may be,

scripsive of This Historic Town.
Mr.. Owen G. Dunn, managing edi-
tor of the New Bern Sun, has just
issued a most comprehensive illus
trated booklet, descriptive of this his
toric old town that is the work of a
genius and should prove of sinestima-
BILE value in the future development
of his native city, that has in it and
around it all the requisites for vigor-
GUS growth and abiding greatness.
The feet Of man have never pressed
a more hospitable soil nor has his
hand ever grasped that of more 10y
al people than are to be found in New
Bern, nor has his vision ever rested
on a more inviting prospect than is
afforded by it's fertile sound lands
and water and railroad transporta-
ton facilities to the inland markets
and those beyond the seas-the world
at large.
This pamphlet presents all these
advantages admirably, in terse but &C
curate language, and backs up its
talks with tangible, convincing object
lessons in it's superb illustrations tha
in themselves are eloquent of what
New Bern has accomplished and O.
her possibilities of the future.
Mr.. Dunn, for this fine work for his
| town, deserves the highest commen
dation and substantial appreciation o
his home people, and The Argu
moves that. this be accorded him il
fullest measure and without delay.

Wonders of the Memory.

Boston Globe.
Senator Gore. of Oklahoma, who is
blind, is gifted with a remarkable
memory. The other day, in replying
to Mr.. Lodge, he ratified off statistics
about Massachusetts manufactures af-
ter a fashion that surprised his coll
leagues. While other senators de-
pend upon printed tables for facta and
figures, Senator Gore trusts entirely
to his splendid memory.
Gladstone was similarly gifted. Al
though a literary man by studies and
inclination, he could, when chancel-
lor of the exchequer, recite statisti-
cal information without the aid OF
| notes or pamphlet He could recall a
Greek quotation in the original with
out making the semblance of an error
and could correct archaeologists
| who presumed to know all about the
| pyramids of Egypt or the round tow
ers of Ireland.
| Macauley's memory was even more
| prodigious. It is well known how
rapidly he could tell the names of the
arehbishops of Canterbury backward
i and it is said that after reading a cop!
of the London Times he could repea
| it's contents verbatim, advertisements
and all. The latter assertion will, NJ
doubt, test the credulity Of the ma
rines, even.
Blaine and Conkling both prideC
themselves on their memories. On on
occasion Conkling quoted the cele

under bond OF 81 900 each on tech
nical charges of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses from John Kohl,

game, first giving Kohl $40 bill as
a sample which was pronounced good
at the banks, and then selling him
$4,000 of the alleged counterfeit
money for 81 900 in cash. Lyman Is
said to have acted as a go-between.
The deal is understood to have been
made one night last December. Ly-
man is said to have driven Kohl to a

NOW REPORTED
Northwest Wheat Fields
will Give a Greater Yield
Than Ever Before.

Spokane, Wa, June S-Bankers
and freight traffic managers of the
transcontinental lines traversing the
states OF Washington, Idaho, Oregon
and Montana, say that the wheat crop
to be harvested in eastern Washington
and Oregon, north and central Idaho
and western Montana will be the tlarg.
est and best in the history OF the in
land empire, which produced approxi-
mately SO,OOO,OOO bushels in 1907, the
banner year in the country.
They report also that indications
are the highest prices ever paid for
wheat in this district will rule. Sixty
thousand men were. required to har-
vest the crop last year. when the
ranchers paid s6,0OO,0OO for labor
alone, or an average OF 500 to every
man for the thirty days he was in
the field. e
1t is believed that at least 1000
men will find employment at harvest
time this season, because of the In
creased acreage and the enormous
yield. Twelve counties In eastern
washington report 10000 acres in
wheat this season. There are. also
