The Darling of the Household went
out into the cold world this morning
to seek her fortune. To tell the vul-
gar truth, the D of the H needs the
money and for six months has been
studying stenography with view to
buying her own theater tickets this
winter. But it was sad day for the
household in which she has been
raised a pet when she had to descend
to the humble level Of the Poor Work
ing Girl. Big Sister, having for many
years bucked the line in the business
world, went with her to apply for a
position which had been advertised
and to warn the Grouchy Old man
ager that he would better be good to
Baby and not speak harsh words and
make her cry. The Grouchy Old
manager turned out to be young, good
looking and very polite and the in
ton encounter: Big Sister apologizing
for what Darling didn't know about
stenography, and the manager
apologizing for offering so modest
a salary. The D of the H wore a
forty-f1ve dollar tailored suit, a ten
dollar hat, five dollar shoes, and six
dollar silk petticoat and the salary at
which she gratefully accepted a
position" is six dollars week. The
rest of the family will now retire and
live in luxury on her earnings the rest
of their lives.

SOCIETY NO LONGER DE,
HANDING VENGEANCE.

The ancient law Of can eve for an
eye, and tooth for a tooth" has been
IN rapid process of repeal in recent
times The conception that society has
no wish for mere revenge, and cannot
be the gamer by exacting vengeance
from the criminal, has at length taken
root in the understanding, not merely
of philanthropists and social students.
but even IN the minds of lawmakers
and administrators.
Prisons today are rather an instru-
mentality for reforming bad men than
a means of eXacting society's vengeance
against the doer of evil. Punishment.
1t Is at last recognized, benefits neither
society nor the object of the punish
ment. Usually it injuries both, for it
makes a persistent and hopeless Grim
inal of one who but for it might have
stopped with one unfortunate offense.
And so the prisons are being turned
into reformatories; the parole system
is being more and more extensively en-
ployed, and it is come to be recognized
that sOciety's business is not to put
its heel on the neck of the unfortunate.
but rather 10 hold out to him the
helping hand.
New York viii, on September I, put
into effect a new law under which the
offense which, committed by an adult.
would constitute a crime, will not be
treated as such if committed by a
child under sixteen years. Instead of
punishment, the State will undertake
seriously to induce reform. New
Workers incline to plume themselves
on the striking advance represented by
this law, though in truth they are far
from being pioneers. They are well in
the rear of those progressive States
which have long been enforcing similar
statutes.
Society owes to itself to lock up
certain classes of determined and per
sistent criminals. The man who spends
his whole life in and out of prison,
say, as a professional forger, is not
safe at large. 1t Is necessary to lock
him up as a protection TO other people.
For such as he the prison is needed,
and there should be even added rigor in
administering punishment. But the
parole system, which has emptied many
Of the prisons of this country, giving
men both chance and a special in
ducement TO 90 out and improve them
selves, is unquslifedly good thing.
So are the reformatories for both men
and juvenile offenders.

CORPORATION TAX LIKELY
TO BE PASSED.

Taking advantage of a curious DO
Iitical condition, President Taft has
developed a situation out OF which he
seems likely to secure the passage by
Congress of his tax on corporation
earnings. He viii get this despite the
opposition of those public men who
are looked upon generally as the sup
porters of the Roosevelt policies, and
through the aid OF those who have
been recognized as the opponents of the
program of the late President It is
an almost unparalleled condition Of
affairs which has made this possible.
It is all because of the determined
opposition to the income tax in the
Senate. The leaders Of that body. on
the Republican side, found themselves
Ia the way of being overcome by the
advocates of the income tax. The lat
ter were able to count a majority Of
two or three in the Senate for the prop
osition. Senator Aldrich was willing to
take anything which would save him
from this defeat. The President figured
out the corporation tax, believed it
would serve his purposes better than
the income tax, and brought over the
entire force of anti-income takers to
his support. Along with them he was
able 70 line up enough from the
friends of income tax to make a ma
jority Of the Senate; and that appears
70 be the present status.
When the corporation tax was first
proposed much was made Of its pub
licity features. 1t was to give the
Government a look into the books of
every great business in the country"
True, the Government Tor three years
has had that privilege as TO the rail

BUT ONE OBSTACLE
NOW IN EARLY'S WAY
Examination by Physicians
Committee Is Sole Block,
Says Woodward.

That the only obstacle in the way
of the removal OF John Early to New
York city is his examination by a
committee of disinterested physicians,
was the statement made by Health
officer Woodward today.
Following the receipt of a favora bl
answer to his letter TO the health Of
fcials Of New York, requesting per-
mission to transfer Early TO that
jurisdiction, DIT. Woodward today is
sued the following statement:
Letter Received.
"a letter has been received from
the secretary Of the department Of
health Of the city of New York stat
ing that he has been authorized to
advise the Health Department Of the
District Of Columbia that the New
York city board Of health will place
no obstacles in the way of leper
entering the city of New York
a letter has been received from the
commissioner OF health OF the State
Of New York, stating that he had
communicated with the commissioner
of health Of New York city in regard
10 this matter, and IL is presumed
that the letter just received from
New. York city is based upon the
joint action Of the State and city
health authorities.
To Protect District.
eff this is the case the only OBJ
stacle now in the way Of Early's re-
mOval is his examination by disin-
terested competent physicians so that
the District may be able better TO
protect itself in event of Early's de-
ermining after he leaves the city to
carry into execution the threats that
have been TumOred that he viii sue
the District because o. his detention"
DR. Woodward said today that the
commission Of physicians who will
examine Early has not yet been
selected.

cent folk paying more attention to

GRADUATES AND CYEfCS: a
PLEA FOR DREAMERS AND
A PROPHECY.

Cynies and anemies in all ages have
found material for criticism and caus-
tic wit in the hopeful, dreaming. up
lifting essays of those who are leaving
schools and colleges for the higher
tests of life.
These Ungentle commentators do not
realize that their very cynicism too
often betrays their own failures. These
may be failures to attain happiness.
wealth, fame, eongeniaI employment,
any of the things Of which their dreams
were made when they said farewell to
alma mater.
We see nothing but JOY and tears in
the radiant dreams OF the thousands
who are saying good-by this month
10 their institutions of learning. Many
of the dreem-ships that were launched
viii 90 down, miserable, helpless,
hopeless wrecks. Many others will
make useful voyages, weathering their
storms CALAMITY and conveying other
and less capable vessels into safe and
comfortable harbors.
The jest that is founded upon con
tempt for an honest, serious ambition
is, at its best, but sorry, deform-
ed conceit. We take our stand with
those who sympathize and hope With
the dreamers, not with the cynics. So
we take the hands of every young
man and young woman, every boy and
girl who goes from the class room into
the workshop of the world and bid
them a hearty and sincere God-speed.
We urge them 10 cherish ideals, to
yield nothing of character and prinei-
pie, but to build upon these the en-
during structure Of their life work.
Be not unduly opinionated. Let the
wisdom Of those who have profted by
bitter experience temper your thoughts
and aid in shaping your actions.
Keep your feet on the ground By
that we mean, let practically have
precedence over theory, commor sense
over fancy.
While we say it is well that you
should dream awhile, we say it Is bet
ter that you should work most of
the time. Bring your work into your
dreams and your dreams into your
work.
BE a thinker as well as a doer. Train
your mind to get the best possible re-
suits from your daily efforts. Make
your hands skillful for the profit and
pleasure that come from creative
manual labor.
BE no mans and no woman's fool or
tool. Do not dwell in another persons
shadow. Own your own soul Make
your own life. Do something. Be
somebody.
Most important Of all, let unselfsh-
ness enter into your work. The man
or woman who thinks always of per.
sonal pleasure is certain to be under
stood and neglected when there shall
be need for love and human sympathy.
Even from the utilitarian aspect. the
success OF the unselfsh achiever is far
greater than that of the one who
works only for self
Cultivate fairness, gentleness, self.

worth while. True, also, the Bureau
of Corporations was established for
the particular purpose of taking such a
look into the inner affairs of other cor
porations in general, with what paucity
of results the country knows. But the
idea of publicity has a charm about
it; the notion that if folks actually
see the trusts rob them, lrev'H not
mind it so much. So it was promised
that there should be another FIN dose
of publicity under the corporation tax
law.
But as that measure is being framed
lit appears that the publicity, which
was originally intended to be the chief
charm of the plan, is largely to be
eliminated from it. In the end, instead
of being project in getting facts about
the great combinations, it is appar-
emily become a simple undertaking
to tax great and small corporations
alike. The big corporations evident
ly are not 10 be exposed to the
embarrassment of close scrutiny in
their altogether. Nothing will be asked
which might worry them to answer.
The drafting of the measure, with this
decided, resolved itself into one OF
details, of which the question of tax
ing or not taxing the payments IF il
terest on debts was the most serious
one.
The corporation tax appears, then, TO
have resolved itself into a project for
raising a considerable amount of
revenue. the assurance of which viii
amount to guarantee against future
pressure for the income or Inheritance
tax as a revenue measure. There is
difference of opinion as to the revenue
which Will be raised. Mr.. Aldrich does
not think it viii produce enough to JUS
tify any sharp cuts of the tariff in
come; others insist that it will, and
that the tariff rates should be cor
.respondingly lowered.
It is not to be overlooked that in
the last fortnight this corporation tax
proposal has served to distract atten-
tion largely from the schedules of the
tariff bill This is wrong. The bust
ness of this session is to revise the
tariff downward. and there should be
no excuses for failure to do it. The
handful of men who have made the
real fight for revision downward see
the popular backing which they have
enjoyed thus far getting distracted and
dissipated. They need to pull them
selves together and force public atten-
ton back to the schedules The utmost
that can possibly be got out of this
excursion into special taxation will be
of insignificant Importance compared to
the loss that viii be suffered if the
tariff is not revised as the country was
promised and was led to believe it
should be.
