A DEMOCRATIC DOSE.
THE OHIO LEGISLATURE WILL BEiMONC
THE FIRST TO GO ON RECORD.

What will the present legislature
of Ohio do about the proposed in
come tax amendment to the federal
constitution. This question must be
answered at the regular session which
is to begin the first Monday in jan
uary.
Congress has voted to submit the
proposition to the state legislature
for ratification or rejection, and the
legislatures cannot dodge it. As it
requires the approval of three-fourths
of the legislature to carry, if twelve
or more legislatures vote against it
the proposed amendment will be de-
feated.
1t is Republican in both branche,
and it is the legislature of the presi-
dent 5 home state. Will it repudiate
the president or will it set in accord
ance with his message to congress,
recommending an income tax amend
ment;
An income tax is primarily a Dem
ocrat tenet. 1t was made part of the
Wilson tariff bill passed in 1894, but
was thwarted because one of the Su-
preme Judges changed his opinion
over night and reversed the courts
decision from majority in favor Of
the proposed tax to majority against
it. The same proposition was favor
ed by the national Democrat plat
form last year and has never been adj
vocated in any Republican platform.
So that when President Taft advised
the income tax amendment he had
to appropriate the idea from the
Democratic platform he opposed be-
cause he could not find it in his own.
That was one of Roosevelt's tricks.
All the popular things Roosevelt ey-
er did he stole from Democrat plat.
form, until his plagiarism became SC
bold that even Republican papers
cartooned him as stealing Bryan
clothes while Bryan was in swim.
ming. Mr.. Taft is but initiating
Roosevelts example in stealing his
income tax policy from the Demo.
crat platform.
| Now for the real test, whether
Republican legislature will become
accessory after the fact to this sort
of political pilfering or whether II
will rebuke the president by voting
down the proposed amendment on
the assumption that Mr.. Taft's pres.
ent position is objectionable political
apoStasy.

SAYS THAW HAS RIGHT TO
BE TRIED TO PROVE SANITY
from Matteawan to Be Present
at Hearing of Mothers
Writ

NYACK, N. Y, Jan. 9.-Harry K.
Thaw is entitled to a trial on the ques-
ton Of whether he has recovered his
sanity, according to Justice Tompkins,
who heard arguments today on writ
of habeas corpus obtained by Mrs,
Mary c. Thaw, his mother.
In applying for a writ, Mrs. Thaw
declared that Harry K. Thaw was not a
criminal, having been acquitted by a
jury, and that he is now sane and
should not be in prison.
Thaw was brought down from the
Matteawan asylum today to be present
at the hearing. He was represented
by Charles Lorschauser. District At
torney Jerome Of New York county wt:s
present, and Asa Bird Gardner repre-
sented the attorney general and super
intendent of the asylum.
Mrs. Thaw and Harry brother
Josiah accompanied the prisoner.
Mr.. Jerome asked that the proceed
ings be transferred to New York
county, where, he said, the sanity of
Thaw could be determined finally.
The district attorney declared that
Thaw was an incurable paranoiac. He
said that Thaw was dangerous per-
son and should not be allowed at large.
Mr.. Gardner also asked that the case
be transferred to New York county.
Mr.. Morschauser opposed it.
Justice Tompkins said that Thaw was
entitled to a trial to determine whether
he had recovered his sanity and was
safe to be at large, but reserved de-
cision as to where the trial should be
held.
He remanded Thaw to the asylum
meanwhile.
Upon Mr.. Morschauser's objection on
the ground that Thaw's counsel was
not we'll treated at the asylum, court
ordered that Mr.. Morschauser should
be admitted to see Thaw alone at any
time

C0LLEGIANS APPEAR STRONG
AFTER PRACTICE
Catholic Baseball Club Will Try to
Bring State Amateur Champion
ship for 1909 to Southern
California

The st. Vincents college baseball
team, after two weeks practice, looms
up more than ever as championship
aspirants and will play all the strong
northern teams in an effort to secure
the state amateur championship.
Last year St. Vincent's and Santa
Clara colleges tied for first place with
an average of 800. st. Vincents
played four games each with Stanford
and Berkeley, taking three out of four
from California and winning one from
Stanford. Santa Clara also broke even
with the universities. Then with St.
Vincent's and Santa Clara tied at 500,
Stanford lost the intercollegiate games
to Berkeley, thus placing both schools
below the 800 mark in the percentage
column.
This year the Saints play two games
with both Stanford and two with
Berkeley on the Chutes diamond, then
they go north and play two games with
each university on their own grounds.
The only dates for the games yet set
are those which Berkeley play in Los
Angeles, which take place February 20
and %.
The first game of the season takes
place with Los Angeles high school

Ybarrando, shortstop; Sullivan. third
