There was much wisdom, from the
corporation viewpoint, in President I aft:
and Senator AIdrich's killing the income
tax amendment by introducing the cor
poraton tax amendment The corpora
ton tax is a mere baggatelle compared to
the income tax, and hits the small stock
holder just as hard as the large one.
Anything 10 exempt the rich from a just
rate Of taxation. Taft, Aldrch and
Cannon are cute ones.

The Washington correspondent for
the Philadelphia North American (rep.)
gives this important warning: From
every interested source statements are
emanating intended to create the impress
sion that in the next few weeks the Al
drich tariff bill is to be so greatly improv-
ed that not oply can President Taft sign
it with clear conscience, but the Amer
lean people may accept it without resent
ment. No clear explanation Of just how
this is to be done is given, but in vague
and general way the public is asked to
believe that the bill will really be made
in conference. and that before it is voted
upon Aldnch will have added certain
provisions, ike that imposing tax upon
the earnings Of corporations, which viii
go a long way toward counteractng some
Of the evils the bill contains at present.
Unques6onably there is basis for hope
that from now on the bill will be made
better and not worse, and that Senator
Aldrich has been forced to realize that
he must make concessions to public opin-
ION if his bill is to escape a presidential
veto. But any great hopefulness that
the bill will be anything ike the measure
the American people had night to ex-
pect or that any Of its conspicuous iniq-
ui6es are even to be modified is not war
Ianted."

President Taft, in a speech before
Yale students, sounded warning to the
republican party leaders. He declared
that if the party fails to redeem its pledg-

next election. The party has been fail

The question Of independence Of the
FiGpinos is receiving some attention in the
senate. An Associated Press dispatch
says Senator Borah started the ball
rolling. Saying he proposed to cast his
vote for 'loosenirg the bands which tie
the Philippine people to the United
States government, he declared himself
in favor Of giving the Filipinos an indie
pendent government. The declaration
aroused immediate attention, being ap-
parently unexpected. When | speak
that sentiment, continued Mr.. Borah, !

SWALLOWS MADE TROUBLE.

A hatpin used by a pair Of swal-
lows as the foundation for their nest,
built between two wires, put the en-
tire police alarm system of the
suburb of Ballard, Wash, out Of
business. The police alarm wires
from Ballard to headquarters at the
city hall were tested box by box until
the trouble was located. 1t was dis
covered that difficulty lay between
the box at Fremont and the one next
south. The electricians could fud
nothing more serious that a swallows
nest.
Investigation showed chat the nest,
which stretched from one wire to an
other, distance Of about eight
inches, was built on q hatpin, which
touched both wires and short cir
cuited the whole system.

FREEDOM OF
THE PRESS
What it Really Means and What
1t Stands For in This Day and
Age Should Not be Van CIeave-
lied

The freedom Of the press: that
is, the right OF publishing books,
pamphlets and SnewSpaperS with
out restraints or censorship
Involves the absence of any
authorized official restraint on
publication.
The press is an instrument well
adapted for disturbing the func-
tions Of government, and when it's
power as a political engine was
early realized, the European
governments took it into their
own hands as means Of self pro-
lection, no one being allowed to
print any work alntil it had OBJ
tanned the sanction of the proper
authorities.
In England, atthe Reformation
the control Of tho press came to be
more completely centered in the
crown than clsewhere, the previous
ecclesiastical censorship as well as
the secular department, being vest
ed in Henry VIII, as temporal
head Of the churb.
The Company of Stationers, who
came to have the sole right to
print, were servants Of the govern
ment, subject to the control Of the
Star Chamber. The censorship of
the press was enforced by the Long
Parliament and was reestablieshed
more vigorously by the Restora-
ten. 1t was continued at the re
volution, and the statute regu-
lating it was renewed from time to
time, till 1893, when the commons,
by special vote, struck it out Of
the list Of temporary acts to be
continued. That act was the end
Of press censorship in England.
A more or less vigorous censor
ship of the press exists in most
European states. There is often
no direct supervision, but the Of
ticial censor has it III his power to
stop any publication which he
deems Objectionable, to conGscate
the edition, and prosecute the
author and editor.
In the Unite States there has
never been a press censorship, but
the anthors and publishers Of
criminal or injurious matter are
ameuable to the Laws Of libel, and
there are certain statutory require
mentS in force to make it possible
to trace them.

WOMEN FOR THE
STATE BOARDS
Want Laws So Amended as to
Keep Women Members on
Boards of Regents Where They
Belong.

A determined effort will be
made, says the Wheeling Majority.
at the present session Of the legis-
lature to have that body submit
again to the people a constitutions
al amendment permitting women
to serve as members of the Board
of Regents of state institutions.
While women have served on
these boards for Il dozen years,
some wise persons have discovered
that the law permits only "citi-
zens' to so serve, and of course,
women are not citizens, not being
entitled to vote. An amendment
was submitted to the people at the
last election but failed of enough
votes for passage, owing to irregu-
larities ut the booths and INSULT
cient publicity, aud it is desired to
again submit the amendment, the
advocates being confident that
when the people know just what it
is they will universally favor it.
There are institutions in the
state where young girls are cared
for and unwisdona of having only
men to care for them is apparent
to most people.
The Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly at its Sunday
meeting declared in favor of the
submission Of the amendment, and
the sentiment was plainly against
the governor ousting the present
women members of tho boards be
fore the people are heard from
which, of course, cannot be fol
two years, yet, at the next regular
election.
