BATTLE THE TAX CATERERS.
Residents on Irish Islands Enjoy Inn
munity from Taxation.

The difhculty of collecting rates in
a number Of islands lying OF the coast
of Donegal, Ireland, was discussed at
a recent meeting of the Donegal
county council 1t was stated that
rates had not been paid in Tory Is
land for the last 20 years, and that
within the past few years the island
ers of Cole, Inisherer, Inishmair,
Inishbofin, and others had followed
the example of their Tory brethren
and developed conscientious objec-
ton to rate collectors. 1t was impos-
sible to get boatmen to take out col
lectors to serve demand rates or make
collections, and even summons servers
who had summonses for the island
ers, were refused a passage. On one
occasion the collector engaged boat
and succeeded in reaching the first
island before his mission was dis
covered. The boatman then refused
to take him back to the mainland, and
it was only after much promising and
pleading that he was allowed to re-en-
ter the boat A councilman said that
short of catching the islanders when
they came to the mainland and strip
ping their clothes off them, he did not
see how they were to be made to pay.

We are, confesses the Atchiso d
Globe, panied again. The grand
master of Ohio Masons, Charles S.
Hoskinson, of GAINESVILLE, has tend
cred to William Howard Taft the
privilege of being Mason at sight,
and the offer has been accepted.
The Masons stand high in the field
of lodge work, and there will be
general regret at this show of parti-
ality; at the fawning before the
feet of the mighty. Although
Taft got the most votes, he is still
just a mana big fat man with
whom the Masons could have had
good deal of fun. And thew
should have adopted the usual
course if Taft desired to become a
Mason. If one president can ride
horse ninety.eight miles a day,
his successor should be able to ride
the goat, though it might be a
trifie hard on the goat. A man is
entitled to such honors as he earns.
and he shouldn't be made a Mason
on the strength of being a success
tul politician or statesman. He
should ride in on the goat.

BE JUST TO BRYAN.

In an editorial entitled "Be just
to Bryan" the Houston Tex Post
says: "There are quite number
of southern contemporaries that are
not exhibiting the proper strain of
courtesy to Mr.. Bryan. They are
either assuming that he intends to
be a candidate in 1912 or ridicul-
ing him for the purpose of prevent
ing his candidacy. No one is justi
fed in assuming that Mr.. Bryan
wants the nomination in 1912.
Still less is ridicule warranted.
Mr.. Bryan deserves nothing but
kindly regard of the democratic
party. He has done everything in
his power to lead it to success and
though he failed of election, no
fair minded man will say that he
has not given tremendous i'm
petus to reform. His recent can
vass was in many respects the great
est of our history. In its loftiness
of tone, its earnestness, its patriot
ism, its intelligence, its eloquence,
it has never been surpassed, and
nothing happened to lower him in
the esteem of his countrymen. Mr..
Bryan is not seeking another nom
ination. He has returned to his
place in the ranks to labor with
other democrats for the upbuilding
of the party and for the assertion of
democratic principles. The proper
course for democrat newspapers to
pursue is to CO. operate with him in
the great work which must be car
ried on for the next three years,
leaving the question of the candi-
date to 1912. 1t can do no good
to wound Mr.. Bryan's millions of
friends by attacking him in an un-
warranted manner or ridiculing
him as perpetual candidate. 1t
would have been impossible to
nominate Mr.. Bryan this year if
the democratic masses had not de-
sired his nomination, and it will be
impossible 10 nominate him In 1912
if the democrats do not want him.
If conditions then suggest that Mr..
Bryan's nomination would not be
advisable, he is not man to force
himself upon the party. On the con-
trary, he would be the first to ad.
wise the selection of another candi-
date. Those who intimate that
Mr.. Bryan intends to be perpetual
candidate, not in the expectation
of winning, but merely to adver-
tise his private business simply
perpetrate libel upon him, and
insult his friends, with the result
of creating discord where harmony
is needed. In 1912 it will be time
enough for these newspapers to
urge the claims of other candidates
and they can do this without at
lacking Mr.. Bryan. All of us will
know more about the situation
then than now and the Post feels
sure that Mr.. Bryan will be ready
then as always to give the ticket
his loyal support"

In the matter of contests the
present Legislature is aping the
legislature of 1901 when democrats
were unseated because the ballot
paper on which their names were
printed was too light. We do not
known that this same excuse was
trumped up but we observe that
excuses equally ridiculous were
employed to get rid of democratic
members and seating republicans
who lacked a few votes of being
elected.

Representative Victor Murdoch,
republican, of Wichita, delivered
a speech in the house of representa-

submitted to his colleagues this
question:
Under the control of the speak
er of the house and the enormous
power with which he is armed, can
the individual member properly
discharge his duties to the nation?'
He then laid down four PROPOSE
tions. In one Of these he cited a
case in which he said a secret
agent under a congressional COM
mission had been paid over $28 a
day, which he said was an out.
Iageous sum, and the second in
which for twenty-three years the
president of the Michigan Central
railroad had been paid 81, 900 a
year as mail messenger to make
up pay for transportation of mails
on railroads, which, Mr.. Murdock
said, could not be done under the
law. As a third instance he charg
ed that an excess payment of $35,
600 a year had been made to tn,
Eads bridge at St. Louis for mai
charges. The fourth was the pay.
ment by the house Of representa-
tives itself of $500 a year for {
trivial clerical duty. "And now,

HIGH TIME TO STOP.
Prominent Republican Paper Talks Plainly
About the Pension System.

There must be a limit some
where to the scope of the pension
system. Congress laid down such
a limit in the law of 1890, and re.
affirmed it in the law of 1908
Why should it be removed now?
The trouble with extensions of
this sort that one breeds another,
and if the widow who married a
veteran forty-eight or forty-nine
years after his discharge from the
service of the United States IS en-
titled to a pension, it may be
urged next that the oldest surviv-
ing son CT daughter of every vet
eran is likewise entitled to life
support from the government.
Under existing laws the nation
has provided most generously for
the civil var and those legitimate.
ly dependent upon them and af-
fected by their disabilities. But
the line must be drawn some-
where, and Congress, having
rounded ont our pensi:n system
in the legislation of the last four
years, ought to set its face against
further extensions.
Last years expenditure on &C.
count Of military pensions was
$155, 1896, O49. That total ha, been
exceeded only once--in the fiscal
year 1892-'93, when the back pay
ments authorized by the law of
1890 reached their maximum
and is about $12, 900, 900 greater
than the everage expenditure be-
tween 1898 and 1907. It is ap-
parent that Congress has been
most open-handed in meeting the
claims of the civil war pensioners,
since but for the increases in rates
and the numerous incluslons au.
thorized in the last four years,
the annual expenditure would
now have fallen to less than SIP :
600, 600. It is time to consider
the pension system as adequate
