SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BREW.
Err is quoted as declaring in q
recent address that ''if this pow
er to tax all incomes is given the
government we will see the states
taxed, not out of their existence
but out of their vitality"
If Justice Brewer is correctly
quoted it is evident that he was
unmindful of the long. standing
rule of judicial etiquette which
DEGREES that judges should not
make declarations concerning
matters that may come before
them for adjudication. AS to
the judicial gentleman's declara.
ton upon the effect of an income
tax on the states, we think he is
unnecessarily alarmed. Did the
income tax of the sos and los
declared constitutional by an al.
most unanimous decision of the
supreme court-tax the states
out of their vitality? AS mat
Ger OF fact have not the states
suffered immeasurably more
than they could possibly suffer
by reason of an income tax, from
the judicial theory, of which
Justice Brewer himself is the
author, that state regulation of
intrastate commerce is not valid
until it receives the sanction of
the United States courts?

plant grown in large quantities In the
Peloponnesus (southern Greece), IN the

grows to a height Of about four feet,
and its branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds. The entire plant, stalk and
branches, Is cut within few inches Of
the root and laid out in the sun to dry.
The branches are then rubbed to sepa-
rate the seeds. and these in turn are
ground into a fine powder, which con-
stitutes the drug. The drug has the
power Of inducing sleep and producing

Scheme of tho Gamblers In Crock.
ford's House In London.
Crockford, the proprietor of a well
known London gambling house, was
made to play queer role after he was
dead. When one Of CrOckford's horses
was poisoned just before tie Derby
the misfortune brought on an attack
Of apOplexy, which proved fatal with
In forty-eight hours. Now, many Of
Crockford's friends mad staked large
sums on another >of the gamblers
horses, which was favorite for the
Oaks and which was disqualified by
the death of the owner. Only the pee
pie In the gambling house knew Of
Crockford's death, and It was resolved
to keep 1t a secret until after the race.
The servants were bribed and sworn
to secrecy, and the cOnspirators on the
day after the night upon which Crock
ford died had the body placed in a
chair at window. so that people re-
turning from the track could see the
gambler sitting there. He was fixed
up to look as lifelike as possible and
through the window and partially con-
cealed from view by the curtains look
ed so natural that no one of the great
crowd which came cheering by the
house when on their return from see-
ing Crockford's horse win the Oaks

The next day 1t was announced that
Crockford was dead, but It was years
before the true story leaked out
