General Sherman seems in a fair
way to receive a tardy measure OF
Justice from the South. OF all the
northern commanders he has been
singled out for lasting resentment.
His. devastation of the "enemy's coun-
try" from Atlanta to the sea and In
the South Carolina campaign has been
treated By the Southern people and
their historians as wanton cruelty.
Now that Shermans letters home
written in the field of his family, are
published. it is found that the general
realized the dreadfulness of the des-
truction he left in ais wake but that
he was impelled to lay waste the coun
try by the grim necessities of war.
When these letters are attentively
read in the South a softening of the
harsh judgment which has persisted
after nearly all the scars of the Civil
war nave been healed cannot fail to
follow 1t may be that Sherman's Wig
orous views in opposition to the i'm
mediate enfranchisement of the slaves
may help the South to a kindlier feel
ing towards him. Whether he was
right or wrong in differing from Slm
ton, who, he said, wanted to kill him
for not favoring the scheme where
by politicians may manufacture just
so much more ~pliable electioneering
material need not be discussed His
views are those of the South today.
For that reason the people below Ma
son and Dixon's line may arrive all
the more readily at the opinion that
the devil as they called sherman,
was not so black as he was painted

GREAT BR|TA|N'S
 INCOME TAX

WASHINGTON, May 15-A report that constitutes an important contri- button to current discussion of the proposed income tax is made to the bureau of manufacturers of the de- partment of commerce and labor by Charles NJ. Pepper, the special agent, who has been investigating financial affairs in Europe.
 Mir. Pepper says that for the fiscal year ended March 31. 1909. the rev. enue from the income tax in Great Britain was s165,00o.000. This tax in 1908 was the greatest single source of revenue, exceeding the excise i'm. posts by $l,500.000 and the customs receipts by $2S.000,000.
 It is explained in the report that the tax is imposed for every 20 shil. lings of the annual value of certain profits, which are set forth under the various schedules comprising the source of income.
 How Tax is Collected. Two-thirds of the tax is paid indi. rectly. Collections include the tax on land paid through the tenants: on dividends paid from offices of pub lie companies. and on consols paid through the Bank of England.
 Incomes under $500 are exempt from the tax. and graduated abate- ments are allowed on incomes be- tween $500 and s250O. In determin- ing the yield from the tax, which at l shilling in the pound is noimnally 5 per cent, attention must be paid to the rate of charge.
 Lowest rate in the last half cen tury has been a fraction over 1 cent on the dollar. Since 1896 the hign- est rate has been about 90 cents to the s5.
 Tables are given showing net re- ceipts of the tax for each year since 1898. In 1907 the yield was S159 9,000,- 900, as against s90.OO0, 900 in 1899.
 Both gross amounts and net in comes increased in the ten-year per iod. Every year reveals incomes pre- viously covered up, so that the in creased amount cannot always be taken as a fresh addition to the na- tional wealth.
 MT. Pepper analyses the various sources from which the tax is drawn and shows that the principal source comes under the group of business and professions and particular prop critics. such as railways. canals and mines. and foreign and colonial se- curities.
 Half From Foreign Holdings.
 The next leading source of reve- nue is from profits from the owner ship of houses and lands. A very interesting feature of the British in come tax is the amount received from investment abroad. In 1907 the income disclosed from this source was s395 100000: but there is a large amount of income from abroad that cannot be identified as such in the assessment.
 Since two-thirds of the tax is col iected indirectly, it is not possible to give the exact number of individual income taxpayers. Business. profes- sions and employees of the govern. ment and public companies paid taxes on 5000, ,000.000 Twenty individ- uals and ninety-two firms paid assess ments on incomes of s250,0O0 and up. ward. Assessments on incomes rang. ing between s50.00O and s250.000 numbered 4200 and from $25,000 to s50,000, 4S00.
 The assessment on incomes be.

Buster Brown"

Buster Brown" the greatest of all
newspaper cartoon plays and the big
hit of every season for the past sew
eral years, will pay a visit to Lafa-
yette, matinee and night, Saturday,
Feb. 20, where it will be presented at
the Jefferson Theatre in that mimi
table style, which has made Cartoon
list Outcault, the magnate of modern
playwrights and producers of comedy.
AS everybody knows the play deals in
an ex%cruciatingly funny manner, with
the adventures of Busters grandmoth-
er, who zones to the home of his pa
rents to pay an unwelcome visit. His
father offers him a whole lot of things
if he can chase her away and he pro-
ceeds to make her life a burden until
she takes her departure. His mis-
chief making is the source of unlim-
tied fun and laughter reigns during the
entire enactment of the comedy. Bus
ter this season is characterized by lit
tie Master Reed, the funniest Lillipu-
tian on the stage. Artist Outcault
says he is the Ideal of his drawings
and the best Buster" that ever hap
pened. He is ably assisted in his fun
full dog "Tige," who is Busters con
slant companion. Cotton is n of the
cleverest animal ~impersonators of the
day and is making a great hit every
where.
The presentation of the play this
season is almost entirely new, al
though the original fun has been re-
tanned with a lot of new comedy added
that is exceedingly good and whole
some. The addition of many catchy
singing numbers has also done much
to enhance the pleasure-giving quail
ties of the play. There are a number
of very clever specialties introduced
which serve well to brighten things up
generally and add lustre to the per-
Torrance. In these Master Reed and
his pals take a lively part. The cast
is one of exceptional merit, including,
as it does, Harold West, who plays the
role of Busters" little sweetheart,
Phil Smith, as Jack Wynn, in love
with Susie; Rocky O'Hare, a much
! abused man, characterized by Jno. Cor
man.; August Book, a politician. es-
sayed by George German; Harold Cas-
tie and Jane Wolf, as Busters
father and mother; Susie Sweet. his
aunt, essayed by Alletta Rridgeford;
Mrs. Sweet, the mother-in-law and the
cause of all the trouble, impersOnated
by Margaret Miles and others too nu-
merous to mention. THE Bobby
Burns Brigade" of Scotch Highland
ers, in a pleasing military number, is
exceedingly picturesque and stirring.
The costumes and scenic embellish-
ment of the production is elaborate in
the the extreme and the electrical eff
fects brilliant and beautiful. Matinee
at 3 p m, at night at $3.50.
