BAILEY AND THE INCOME TAX.

The Kansas City Star takes this
fling:
Senator Bailey of Texas displayed
characteristic and almost Spartan val
or in demanding an income tax, which
he feels tolerably confident will not
pass at this session of congress-.
Mr.. Bailey's speech is one Of the
most important and Illuminating OF
the contributions to the present tariff
discussion. His handling of the income
tax question, both from the constltu-
tional and the economic point of view,
has led to much reflection. Those who
agree with him have been strengthened
in their views, while those who differ
with him have been advised Of what
is before them in a controversy which
is growing all the time and, soon or
late, must be submitted to the people
for vote on the merits of the propo-
sition taken singly.
As has been recently suggested SEN
timent on this subject has undergone
a great change in the past fifteen
wears. In the summer of 1894, DAVID
E. HILL then a senator from New York,
thundered in his place against an in
come tax, and based two day argu-
ment on the assertion that the tax
was both unconstitutional and undem-
ocratic. He spoke both as lawyer
and as a politician. AS a lawyer ne
spoke with effect, for subsequently the
supreme court sustained his conten-
ton. AS "a politician he was over
ruled by his party friends in the SEN
ate, who. despite his speech and his
vote, put the tax into their tariff bill.
They brushed aside his characterlza-
ton of the tax as populistic, as also
his prediction that if they yielded to
it thew would have to swallow good
deal more of populism.
Whether. therefore, anything rs done
on the subject. by this congress or
not Mr. Bailey has performed valua-
bic public service. In an elaborate and
upon the whole a good tempered, pres
entation of the question, he has given
it a prominence commensurate with It's
Importance at this time, and he can
not be disposed of by an intimatlon
that he is playing to the galleries.

BUD BARNES CASE
IS NEARLY READY
Decision in Famous Murder Trial May
Be Handed Down by Supreme
Court in Near Future, Think
Attorneys.

Those interested in the outcome of
the Bud Barnes case, which was sent
to the supreme court on appeal of the
attorneys for the defendant, were start
led to learn this morning that it had
been set for trial again, according t.
the official documents sent out by the
clerk of the supreme court. Upon in
vestigation by Attorney H. c. Bryson,
however, who is representing the state
in the absence of Otto Rupp, it was
learned that the trial had been set fol
June %, during the May docket of the
court by mistake. This was rectified
Immediately and on that date, the case
of Frank Petri, who was convicted in
this court as being an habitual GRIM
inal and given a life sentence, will
come up.
1t is expected that the decisions in
the case of the state against Bud
Barnes will be rendered within the next
few days and the delay has probably
been caused owing to the fact that the
judge to whom it fell has been behind
in his work. Although doubts were
felt by the representatives for the state
as to the outcome of this case, greater
hopes for a decision favorable to them
are now entertained since the report OF
the Mcintyre case was received, being
in favor of the state.

MORE WATER TRAGEDIES.

Recklessness on the water has
caused within four days the death OF
SO persons, in different parts of the
country. Nine were drowned Sunday
in the Susquehanna river, because a
foolhardy host induced his eight guests
to crowd into skiff barely sufficient
for three. and then tried to row across
the turbulent stream. Seven were
drowned in the Chippewa river, Wis
consin, Saturday night when gaso-
line launch, making its first trip, struck
sunken piIing and overturned. Twenty
were drowned last night in the ONO
river, near Pittsburg, when Terry
launch, capable of carrying a score at
the outside, was freighted with thirty
workmen. Fastening to their homes,
and was swamped in mid-stream
In each case carelessness or haste
was accountable for the disaster. The
Susuuehanna tragedy has heretofore
been commented upon as plain case
of perversity on the part of both boat
man and passengers. The Wisconsin
catastrophe was doubtless due to the
fact that inexperienced men undertook
to convey a pleasure party, including
d
river at night In the Pitsburg in
stance deaths resulted from rush
such as occurs continually at ferry
points where worhingmen are accom-
modated No warnings suffice to check
the haste of the passengers or curb
the eagerness of boat owners. TRACE
DIV after tragedy is enacted without
teaching the lesson so obviously con-
veyed in each case. The law goes as
far as possible to prevent the exposure
of the innocent and helpless to danger
but it cannot reach the foolhardy, VINO
expose not only their own lives, but
those of their children in their own
enterprises. 1t can only be hoped that
eventually men and women will ap-
proach the water with due realization
upon it they are necessarily ventur-
ing into danger, and take the proper
precautions.

PORTO RICO.

Starving the government in an effort
to forward political program is not
the American way of doing business.
Let us suppose the house saying to
the senate: You viii pass my bills
for this. that and the other. or not a
dollar win I vote for the support of the
government. intend to have my wish
es about legislation or know the rea-
son why If necessary, I'll bring every
thing to a dead halt. and we viii all go
out of business"
Such a proceeding With us would
mean the defeat at the polls of the
party resorting to it. We are little
"Gerce" at times in our politics, but
never that fierce Support of the
government is, and must be, the first
consideration of both parties. They
may wrangle savagely and protractedly
about the amount necessary, but q
proposition by either to vote nothing
at all. in play for party advantage,
would be received with eXecration by
the country.
Certain Porto Rican politicians are
playing this game. Controlling the low
cr house of the Islands general assem-
bly,. they have refused to provide for
the support of the island government
because of the refusal of the upper
house to agree to measures desired by
the former. AS matters stand there is
no remedy. The general welfare is at
the mercy of men who prefer no gov
ernment to q government not controlled
by themselves. In effect. they are hold

in Porto Rico above the tyranny OF

CAUSE FOR ALARM.

few weeks ago when certain east
ern and southern states were gather
ing up their dead, rebuilding the wrecks
of their plundered homes and mourn
ing midst the carnage wrought by tor
nadoes and cyclones, Walla Walla
was digging dust from her eyes after
30-mile breeze which blew itself out
with no more serious results than a
few angry housewives and riddled hat
brims. Now nature in another of her
angry moods has struck closer to our
borders but left us immune for the
sights and scenes that mar the bright
er side of life. While our neighbors,
Spokane Portland, Seattle and other
cities of the northwest are writing
in the throes of scarlet fever epidem-
ic and spending thousands of dollars
to stay the ravages of the dread dis
ease Walla Walla is suffering nothing
more malignant than the usual spring
attack of grip"
From Spokane where the epidemic
has been stalking for ten weeks, until
now the city in its prostration before
the disease and in its desperation to
check the spread of contagion, is
forced to employ extreme quarantine
measures the reports are alarming.
One hundred and eighty eight quaran-
tines are in effect. II of them having

dollars before health has been re-
stored. Portland, though the disease
there has manifested itself in a less
virulent form, is fighting practically
the same fight as Spokane and using
the most drastic methods to stamp out
the contagion.
With disease raging at her very
doors Walla Walla can hardly feel Sc

aroused to the full gravity of the stu
