Preventing Aooidents.

The idea Of preventing street-csr acci-
dents by educating the public through a
series Of newspaper advertisements Is the
latest thing in street car management.
A Boston operating company has recently
issued such series in various parts Of the
country where its lines are located. Each
advertisement takes up some typical aoci-
dent. and explains How II Might Hap
pen." BY picture, diagram. and text the
public is warned against those common
errors of judgment to which almost all
street car accidents are attributable One
picture shows two cars passing each other
with a woman alighting from one and 60

tracks. only 10 be struck BY the other
car This is clearly a case where nor>Atg
but public education could prevent acci-
dent and numerous other diagrams prove
that the company is getting at the root OF
the trouble by showing the people how to
do their part. Although it costs the COM
pany thousands Of dollars to put out these
advertisements. It is considered cheaper
than the cost OF accidents and damage
claims. as we'll as an obligation to the
public.-COllier's for June 8.

LITERARY
shall Inoomss be Taxed7 2


BY Henry IAtchheld West, in the June
Forum.
The belief expressed by two Presidents
that the question OF the constitutionahty
OF the income tax has not been eternahy
settled has gone far toward making the
subject one OF earnest discussion There
are many men Of equal honesty and apii-
ity arrayed on both sides. The point which
is to be emphasized is that the opinion OF
the Supreme Court, standing, as it does. IN
direct antagonism to the decisions Of a
hundred years and declaring unconstitu-
tional a tax that in practically similar
form WIS effectively administered for
more than decade, is not accepted as the
final judgment. As long as this is the case
and as long as men Of high standing in
the national legislature feel that an in
come tax is a righteous tax just so long
Will we have the justice Of its imposition
pictured to the public mind. There are
men who believe that the Supreme Court
erred and who are determined that there
shall be another adjudication Of the ques-
ton; and as long as these men continue TO
occupy commanding station in public life,
it is certain that they will not allow the
subject to remain diiescent.

No-emphatically mol
The statement is untrue. and the rea-
sons given prove the opposite-that IS
TO say
We Americans are the happiest peo-
pie on earth because we are the most
prosperous. the freest and the best
educated.
or, to put It differently
Most OF the unhappiness suffered by
the American people is because OF lack
Of prosperity, lack Of freedom, lack Of
education.
Truly we are prosperous. To put It
in a sentence
We have but z per cent Of the ter
ritoTy of the earth and but 3 per cent
Of its population. but we have twice
as much life insurance as all the rest
Of the worlds people and-half as much
money in our savings banks as all the
other people on earth put together
And we are well educated.
We have enrolled in our public
schools 10000 students, and there
are 100000 in the colleges and private
schools. which brings the total up TO
2O,000.O00 young people. We spend on
this education s2O0,000,O00 yearly
more thnn the entire sum spent by FIVE
leading European nations, including
England.
We are a free people.
Making due allowance for inequali-
ties and for abuses under our system
we enjoy the largest measure Of in
dividual liberty ever known by any
people in the history Of the race.
/ And
Because Of our prosperity, freedom
and education we also enjoy in the
highest degree all intellectual and spir-
/ itual pleasures. and we are the most
progressive as we are the most humane
Of all people. so that, whether upon the
/ physical, intellectual or moral plane
The conditions Of living in Americs
make for happiness more so than any
where else
We are free to work and free to love
And those two conditions-the free
dom to work at congenial tasks for O
fair compensation and the liberty &c
love and marry whomsoever We
choose regardless OF social or financial
obligations-these are ideal conditions

STATE Owns This Alley.

DOVER. June IA question as to
whether the state Of Delaware owned
the land used as an alley between the
State House and the Jump property
(also belonging to the State) has been
settled by a diligent search. In this
II is shown that the lane or alley is
unquestionably the property Of the
state. The state capitol building COM
mission can, therefore, proceed with
the work of constructing the new State
buildings. The present lessee Of the
Jump property which is to be torn
down has a lease until January. 1910,
but it is believed that a settlement will
be made by which the lessee Will
