the lnterurban line between Atchison
and st. Joe, on the Kansas side OF

A CANNON nANGER.

The unseen and unexpected danger which may at any time threaten hu- man beings is well illustrated in the following local item from The New York Tribune:
 Joseph McKevltt.. aged fourteen. son of Thomas McKevttt, an congressman, of No 228 sixth avenue, was placing a pail in a corner of the kitchen last night to catch water than was drip when hs the Ceiling, fell on him. His spinal colug1n was broken two inches below the lC wer ridge of the shoulder blades. The boy was hurried to Roosevelt Hospital. in almost helpless condition. The doctors do not believe he can recover.
 We can hardly imagine a less dan gerous occupation or situation than this one. It is altogether probable that no one knew that there was any defect in the ceiling and it is easy to believe that the unfortunate boy had no thought of peril while engaged in what all would consider a safe oc- cupation Yet such happenings as this are not at all uncommon, though not always so damaging. And yet as The Charlotte Observer says '1t Is a won der that they are not far more numer- ous Part of the ceiling. weakened by repeated jarrings the effects of some old leak. or perhaps simply de- fective, comes down as a shower of plaster fragments which may be a foot square. an inch thick and jagged at the edges.

THE hoosEvrLr srsrns.


 President Roosevelt's contention Is that there should be no limitation or restriction placed on the administra- tion's use of the secret service In short. his idea Seems to be that he should be permitted to send govern ment spies anywhere he chooses and where he chooses. But" as The Sac ramento Bee observes, public deoency. and a just sense of official propriety. should never permit the employment of secret service men to tamper with the letters or telegrams of United states Senators. Representatives or Judges of the Federal Courts. The detective work in the case of Senator Tillman, done by the direction or at least with the countenance of the President. was an outrage and a flag rant invasion of Senatorial dignity.
 Congress has as much right to spy upon the President as he has to spy upon Senators and Representatives. But what roar would be heard from the White House if the legislative branch of the government should direct 1t to be shadowed at public cost"
 We doubt if anything that was ever done by any President of the United States has been more scandalous and indefensibie than the Roosevelt spy system. It is simply the adoption in this country of the Russian system of espionage. The czar of Russia has an army of secret agents and spies who respect neither the persons nor the homes of high or low. and who do not hesitate at any kind of deceit or false- hood that will enable them to obtain information, and often not merely to obtain evidence but to manufacture 1t to suit the purposes of their ruler. This kind of work may serve in Russia but it is out of place in this country. To detect crime and punish criminals is one thing; to spy on pub- lie or private citizens to further the personal or political ends and .pur- poses of a President is quite a differ ent matter, and that is just what Roosevelt has done In number of in- stances. He has debauched the secret service system and made it weapon through which to punish those who displease him and if possible to de- grade them in public estimation. Let us hope that our next President will have more regard for honesty and fairness in this respect than the pres ent incumbent has shown.

It Is now proper to refer to him as "Prasident-ele Taft" which term was not properly applicable until Wednesday, On that day Congress formally counted the electoral votes and in constitutional form declared that Taft and sherman had been duly elected to the offices of President and Vice President of the United States But Mir. Taft is only President-eleci as yet and will not actually become President until he has been inaugu. rated and has, taken the oath of of flee. If he should die before March { there would be no, President after that date and no method Of making one as the law now stands, Mir. Roosevelt cannot hold over after the close of his term and sherman could not take the office because the Vice President can only succeed the Presi- dent and there would be no President for him to succeed unless Taft lives to be inaugurated and sworn in.
 It is queer condition of affairs, and the wonder Is that no provision has heretofore been made for such a con dltion. It is also a little singular that in national existence of about g century and quarter no such con- dItion has yet arisen. The country has been fortunate in this respect singularly so. Of the twenty-one or twenty-two Presidents who have been elected all have lived to be inaugu- rated. and it is sincerely hoped that Mir. Taft will be no exception, but whether he lives until the 4th of March or dies before that time It is none the less the duty of Congress to provide against a happening which might produce serious and inextrica- ble confusion. Senator Bacon. of Georgia, Is pushing a measure that will provide a remedy and there should be no opposition to 1t. or to something that will serve the same purpose. It Is matter that should not longer be delayed.

It was through President Roose- velt's desire to have the Panama Canal rushed through during hisAadministra- tion, that we are today suffering from the doubt and uncertainty as to whether or not a great mistake has not been made. The foreign engineers who formed part of the board to pass upon the character of canal to be built warmly urged the sea level and in this they were joined by a minority of the American engineers. The lock system was adopted and now it is more than probable that the other will have to be substituted. The whole thing was put through under whip and spur, in the usual Roosevelt way and now the country can repent at leisure in case mistake has been made.

file Montgomery Advertiser is mourning at the prospect of juleps be- ing barred in Alabama. Our contem- porary might gain much comfort from the situation by observing that there fs nothing in the Alabama statute against the side-boarded julep-Hous- ton Post
 That Is true enough, at the present time. but the julep season Is not on yet. and we can't tell what may hap pen before it opens. If the Governor calls his Legislature together again 1t may pass a law penalizing even a ''side-boarded julep" and making 1t a crime to have mint growing in one's yard. No one can even guess what our Legislature will do to the people Of Alabama if it gets another lick at them.

 MT. Bryan's declaration here in Montgomery that no man who was net an enemy of his would ask the impertinent and bumptious' question if he would again be candidate for President. seems to have had no ter xor for people at points in Florida. He was more than once asked the question down in the Flower State. but he didn't fly into passion about it Evidently he realized that he made an imprudent and reckless as sertlon here. and does not care to further combat public curiosity by de- nouncing all who may wish to gratify that curiosity as his enemies. Mir.

AN INCOME TAX.

Part of Democratic Plan to Lessen

 Washington Special to The Buffalo
 A great struggle in both practical politics and constructive statecraft Is to be precipitated by the Democrats when, in the course of the tariff con- sideration, they will formally move to insert income and inheritance reve- nues and meet the deficit caused by on coffee. tea and additional internal revenue burdens on beer.
 This, 1t is learned on high authori- ty. is the proposal which Representa- in Democratic leadership are prepar- ing to put up to the Republicans in the
 They have been canvassing the sit- that real revision means a consIdera- ble reduction in the customs revenues, which must aggregate the present serious deficit, That situation has pat" interests. who argue that it is impossible to adopt deficit tariff when there is already deficit. Real revisionists among the Republicans have been leaning toward heroic meas ures. embracing a three cent per pound tax on coffees a ten cent tax on tea, and an increase from $I to s2 in the internal revenue tax on beer per bar
 The Democrats purpose to make their big fight for substitution of these new taxes, instead of taxing the breakfast table.
 On this Issue they are getting ready to meet defeat, if necessary, and then take their case to the country An the. next Congressional election. They believe that they have the Re- publicans hopelessly "in a hole" on this propositlon, They are, making plans with the utmost care and Res publicans who know what Is going on are frankly worried about the situa- ton. G
 The Republican face the most dif- ficult situation that probably ever bill. On one side the country is demanding revision that shall be effective. It seems deaf to appeals based on the explanation that the revenues are slread insufficient.
