An Issue at Last.

There are Republicans who believe
that when Congress and the President
referred the income tax amendment to
the States troublesome question was
cleverly disposed of. says the New
York World. 1t is possible that they
will speedily discover their error. They
have set in motion something that is
even more important than the enginery
of the constitution. They have appeal.

Jefferson's Courtesy.

This relation of Thomas Jefferson s
character has been often made as used
in the Westminster. Eng, Gazette -
Thomas Jefferson was by nature a
gentleman even French courtiers ad-
mired his polished manners, while the
humblest could not but revere the man
whose consider ate courtesy put them
at ease in his presence. "You replace
DR.. Franklin, hear" said Count de
Vergennes, the French minister, to Mr..
Jefferson, who had been sent to Paris
to relieve our most popular represen-
tative. 81 succeeded him no man can
replace him." replied the Ameri can.
1t is not surprising that the man who
made this felicitous reply should be es-
teemed by the most polite court in Eu-
rope. One day while he was president,
as Mrs. Jefferson and his grandson
were riding in a carriage. they: met a
slave who respectfully took off his hat
and bowed. The President returned
the salute by raising his hat, but the
grandson paid no attention to the ne
gro's civility. Thomas" said the
grandfather, with a reproachful look,
do you permit a slave to be more OF
a gentleman than yourself?"

people may confer power or Withhold
power, legalizing for tomorrow that
which is forbidden today, or forbidding
for tomorrow that which today is
everywhere permissible. The people
choose Presidents, who appoint Judges
and Congresses, which make laws,
but WREN the Constitution is amended
the people make laws for Presidents,
Congresses and courts as well as for
themselves. If for any reason this
august sovereignty has been addressed
frivolously or 'as a mere makeshift
those who have thus committed them
selves should take long look ahead.
The income tax amendment now to
be submitted to the States vitalizes an
issue which for many years has been
involved in the clouds of expectancy,
politics and COILS itutional uncertainty.
1t comprehends the whole question of
justice in taxation. 1t is no abstrac-
ton. 1t goes straight to the heart of
plutocracy and privilege. 1t will he
desperately fought by all those who
hold that industry and poverty should
bear the Chief burdens of government.
1t will be supported by those who
maintain that wealth, frequently
agree IN quest of monopoly and privi-
lege. shall bear its full proportion of
public burdens.
This struggle will center at first at
fOrty-six State capitals. 1t will find
an echo in every hamlet. 1t will be
transferred at length to the national
capital. and, whatever the actual out
come may De, things never will be
quite the same again for those who
tax and those who are taxed. Although
pledged in a way to the amendment,
Republicans in the States may defeat
it, but even so it will reappear they
will meet it again at the polls. Al
though the amendment is merely pre-
missory, it cannot, if adopted, become
dead letter. The forces aroused to
secure It's acceptance will be 20 werful
enough to compel the use of the au-
thority which it confers. The question
thus sent the States will probably be
back again DANGEROUSLY before Con-
gress.
Income taxes and tariff taxes laid
for the benefit of favored interests are
forever at war. They do not thrive
on the same soil. The more we tax
earnings the less we shall tax con-
sumption. The more we tax wealth
the less we shall tax poverty. The
more we see of justice the less allur-
ing must in justice appear. Whether
they appreciate the fact or not, the
Republicans have given the country an
issue which in due time may be ex-
pected to search out the economic
wrongs on which as party they too
long have prospered.

Strinsins Arraienment of South Water Streets Crooked Houses in Eastern Magazine Already Having Results.

Chicago. June 2.-(Special Core spondence of The Republican.)- Fragrant crookedness of produce com mission interests of South Water street. the second largest produce market in the country. with which they are accused by Forrest Crissey in Everybody's Magazine for June. has been taken up by the National League of Commission Merchants for inves- tigation and a great housekeeping is at hand.
 Just now the commission men are busily establishing claim to excep- tion from the severe general arraign- ment which was modified by the statement There are, of course, honest commission men in the pro. duce business, many of them, but their standards are not the standard of the market street. and their prac- tices are not representative of the practices which have prevailed for many years to the extent of domi- mating the business"
 Mir. Crissey cites cases to illustrate his caustic charges that shippers and growers of produce all over the coun-
 
 hundreds of miles away and the widow are shamelessly robbed by the crook ed" houses, he says. He adds: An important element in the game is the fact that in most states the laws per init the agent of a transportation company to make a forced sale of any rejected shipment-and that without recourse or remedy so far as the shipper is concerned.
 The history of a certain carload of potatoes originating in a small town in the Wisconsin potato belt illus trates one phase of this device. This car was directed, on order at Chi cago, to a provincial city in a south ern state. The value of the potatoes was S217, and the freight was $15S. The buyer made a peremptory rejec- tion of the potatoes. and the agent of the transportation company last handling them sold them to a local buyer for $50 In the course of the litigation which followed, the fact was established that the man who bought the potatoes from the transportation company's agent sold them for $340. No diagram is needed to show how pleasant and profitable a business in the exchange of favors these two men-or any two men similarly situ- ated-could drive with the weapons of rejection and forced sale in the hands of the transportation agent. And in this case the shipper was out not only his whole car of potatoes, but also the difference between the full freight bill and the amount real ized by the forced sale.
 The ingenuity displayed by the crooks of the produce business in de- vising new tricks which will take the big end of the shippers proceeds is little less than diabolical in it's cleverness. Here is one of the most up to date schemes, which has been successfully worked out in Chicago:

H. HEDGEPETH, HERITAGE
 0F THE BRYAN CAMPAIGN
An East St. Louis Boy Who Has at Last Worked Himself Into the coun- ty Jail.

A telephone message was received at the sheriffs office yesterday from Deputy Sheriff Woods of Wickenburg, directing the arrest of a youth named Harry Hedgepeth. who is wanted there for stealing a check for S15 and get ting it cashed.
 Deputy Sheriff Davis quickly found Hedgepeth on the street and took him into custody. The boy did not deny relation to the check but he said 1t had been given to him by Mexican.
 Hedgepeth has been more or less of a nuisance about this town for several months His presence here is one of the unfortunate results of the national democratic campaign. The boy was resident of East St. Louis one of the points on the itinerary of Eugene Brady O'Neill when he was stumping Illinois and the adjacent states for Bryan last fall. Hedgepeth was one of his auditors and he not unnaturally felt a longing to live in a community which turned out such products as MT. O'Neill.
 Beside. when MT. O'Neill was not talking tariff or republican corruption it put III d EOOu NOI VI HUI -AAlSOAia elAAN thus the imagination of the youth was further fired.
 He arrived here about midway in the session of the legislature and he put himself under the protecting wing of MT O'Neill who however soon dis lodged him. He astounded all with whom he came in contact by the mag nitude of his stories of adventure in East St. Louis and he claimed that he had been spirited out of that part of the world by the .Mafia who gave him his choice between going to Arizona or to the grave. He informed the off cers that he was under the constant espionage of the Mafia here.
 A couple of weeks ago he precip- itated himself into some trouble with a Chinaman and he was held at the jail without a commitment for a few days when he was given an induce ment to get out of town.
