PROPOSED PRoHisiTIvE TARIFF
ON COCAINE.

Police Commissioner Bingham, OF
New York city, has made an appeal
to Congress that apparently should
receive the support of everybody. re-
CARELESS OF politics, General Bingham
asks for protection. but 1t is not pro-
lection In the ordinary sense of the
word. He wants a prohibitive tariff on
cocaine. and. IL what he says Is true. in
this instance even a dyed-in-the-wool
free trader can vote for high tariff
with clear conscience.
Only those in touch with police cir
cles know to what extent the cocaine
habit has spread among certain
classes, particularly among the lower
order OF negroes in the South. In some
OF the negro settlements this drug has
taken the place of whiskey and, while
a negro full of common whiskey Is bad
enough. negro full OF cocaine is many
times worse. Here at home practical
examples of the evils resulting from
the use of cocaine are given almost
daily. A large percentage OF the
crimes committed by negroes In GER
tain sections of Rockets and in Blood
field may be attributed to the use OF
this drug. Frequently harmless. un-
offending negro becomes the most
vicious kind OF criminal after taking
few 'sniffs' OF cocaine.
General Bingham contends that
most of the concerns engaged in sup
plying cocaine for the Illicit trade, buy
the drug abroad and in this way are
able to balk the efforts of the police
to suppress their operations. II there
is anything in this contention at all.

ELEcTlcN or FsoF. JENKINS AS
SUPERINTENDENT.

withstanding its decision that
prof willis A. Jenkins is not a ut
man to be placed at the head OF a
school system. the State Board OF Ed
ucation has elected Prof. jenkins SUI
perintendent OF schools for this city.
Though this seems TO indicate that
the state board is body not sure OF
its own mind. perhaps the final action
In this matter was more or less nat
nraI after all. The members OF the
board were led 20 believe, erroneously,
that there was a great popular outcry
here against the proposed importat- on
OF an outsider to al the Office of SUI
perintendent; a majority OF the local
school board clam0red for the APP
pointment OF the man endorsed by
them, and practically all of the mos
conspicuous figures IN local politics
demanded that Prof. jenkins be
chosen. No one was on the ground
to say n word ON the other SIDE, even
.Aose most opposed TO this movement
feeling a hesitaEcy about taking up
an active fight against 1t. Under such
circumstances. 1t hardly could be ex-
pected that the State board would do
anything but what 1t did
Il is all over now. Prof. jenkins Isl
the superintendent. and he should
have the cooperation OF everybody
in keeping up the standard and I'M

people do not believe he should have
been appointed. their complaint is not
against him, but against those who
Insisted upon his appointment. Tine

people. through the city council, for

orioin of the American Flag.

That the American flag owes It's
origin to the Washington family Is the
opinion expressed by Kate Greenleat
Locke in the July Van Norden Maya
zine.
In an old English manor house
some fourteen miles southwest OF
Northampton, and about six miles
northeast OF Banbury, may be found
today the possible origin of the nag
of our country. AT Sulgraye Manor
and in the beautiful cid church at
Great Brington, is the coat-of-arms
OF the Washington family, and d
glance at its design convinces one
that here is the source from which
have sprung our stars and Stripes
Sulgrave Manor was the home OF
the Washingtons early in the six
teenth century. having been pur-
chased. with its adjoining lands. by
Lawrence Washington in 1888. at the
time of Henry Wills disruption OF
the monasterles. At the time of the
Priory of saint Andrew at Northamp-
ton.
The stars above the bars in the
Washington Arms lend color to the
belief that from 1t our national nag
was designed, and II is highly appro-
pirate that it should be so. There
is food for thought in looking at the
staid old walls of this manor house.

PRESIDENTS PLAN TO TAX THE
CORPORATIONS.

All over the country the iait-Au-
rich plan for imposing a tax upon
the incomes Of corporations is being
discussed People are talking about
1t Just as seriously as II they really
believed anything that would actually
take money out of the pockets OF the
magnates of the great corporations
could get through the United States
Senate. This proposed amendment 10

In some shape, as the weight OF the
Presidents name win have some ef-
feet, but the country can rest assured
that nothing toward transferring any
considerable portion of the burden OF
taxation from the shoulders OF the
people to those of the corporations
will be done by the Senate as 1t is
constituted at present.
AS originally contemplated by Presi-
dent Taft. this plan OF taxing corpora
lions perhaps had Its good points.
though it is a pretty well established
fact that. even though the government
really succeeded in collecting two per
cent upon the bona fide net incomes,
the ultimate consumer" would have
to bear the burden in the long run.
The big corporations, the ones such a
tax as is proposed would be designed
to reach. very seldom do anything

might be. would put the money back
into the treasury. The only concerns
that would comply with the spirit of
the law and truly give up the two
per cent would be those not powerful
enough to compel the public TO dig in
to its pockets and restore the money

advisers to prepare the amendment

tor Steve Elkins, of West Virginia

for him to give the boys a hearing. The
mayor referred them to the chief OF

the proprietOTs of the gambling houses
before him. The boys and the proprietors
were taken through a severe questioning
and, before IT was over, the chief ADVISED

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Eureka, Sept. 6.-Charles Parker
came in this morning from the Dia-
mond Queen property, in the south END
of the district, and brought in some
fine samples. The rock was taken at

vein is a permanent one and is a true
assure The samples are a form Of
lead carbOnates and go well in silver.
Hank Sibelin. who has the contract
on the tunnel, has been instructed to
drift both ways on the vein, north and
south, to determine its extent.
Since the samples have been brought
to town there has been considerable in
terest manifested in the property and a
lively demand for stock. It is good
news, more especially as the stock is
almost wholly owned in the district
and by men of moderate means, to
whom the strike means much.
