The Wayne knitting mills Of Fort
Wayne. Ind. manufacturers Of fun
fashioned hosiery. have sent "A circular
letter to their customers setting out
their position as to the duties on cot
ton hosiery. They are opposed TO the
higher duties Of the Payne bill because
"an advance is not needed" The
broad statement is made that all the
manufacturers have operated success
fully under the protection afforded
them. An advance would be demoral-
izing, would be so unpopular as 70
be inexpendient. and would not be
Conducive TO the perpetuation of pro-
tective tariff principles" In other
words. II would be dangerous TO go
too far in boosting duties and prices.
The letter says also that under the
existing duties a healthy foreign COM
petition has been maintained. Now,
in the interest OF the consumers and
Of the manufacturers themselves, the
new tariff law should preserve that
healthy competition. The increased
duties Of the Payne bill would put an
end TO il.
The committee on ways and means
advanced the duties because some
American manufacturers said they
must have more protection to stand
up against those terrible Germans
The committee was fed with figures
Of extraordinarily low German wages.
The accuracy of these figures has been
denied by the German manufacturers.
who ought to know more about their
own business than the men who run
knitting machines in Philadelphia.
Now come the men who manage one
Of the largest American cotton hos
iery plants and say additional protec-
tion Is not needed.
When the tariff bill gets back to the
House, the ways and means commit
tee should sing its penitential psalm.
It should make some amends for the
trouble it has given American wo-
men by asking the house to concur
in the Senate amendments restoring
the old duties. If the committee is not
ready to atone, there should be enough
progressive Republicans in the House
to force a separate vote on the amend
ment before sending the bill to con-
ference.

HOW CATHERINE WRIGHT
AIDED HER BROTHERS

Miss Wight made the calculations
and her brothers made the expert /
ments. The three worked together. |
Before any demonstration was made,
before her brothers had tested the ma
shine they were building. Miss Wright
knew that it was possible for man to
fly She was the first women in the
world TO know it positively. She knew
II because she herself had made the
calculations. She was willing 70 stake
what little money she had saved from
her salary as a schoo teacher, along
with the smaller amount her brothers
had saved upon the outcome of the re-
/ vice to be made according TO her cal
! culations She staked IL. and she won.
When the machine was completed
and was founl to be a success. and Il
became desirable to get in touch with
the nations Of the world. it was Cath
crime Wright wha brought the aero
plane to the attention Of the men who
would have to be dealt with. The
letters which the representatives of
foreign Governments received were
written by this women in the name
/ of her brothers.
All this time Miss Wright was going
dtily to the schoolroom. Even their
neighbors did not know she took any
interest in the flying machine. They
knew that It was characteristic of the
WrIghts to be devoted TO one another.
But they did not know that this pa
tient school teacher had mastered the
intricacies OF the air, and that she
had been I'm correspondence with

were demonstrating il to the world
Miss Wright continued her occupation

Wright met with the accident at Fort
Afyer. which came near costing hin
his life, that she gave up her position
and hastened TO him. She remained

Governor Pennewill was right in his appoint
ment of Mr.. c. B, Hope to be State Highway
Commissioner for Kent county The law re-
quires that the Governor shall appoint such
commissioner. and il is not for the Governor to
speculate whether that commissioner shall have
any duties to perform or not If the Kent
County Levy Court does nothing towards inn
proving the roads of the county in proper man
ner the fault win be with neither the Governor
nor Mr. Hope The Governor also added that
he was in favor Of improved highways. The
matter Of good roads so far as Kent county is
concerned rests with the Levy Court. 1t was
said at the time the law was passed that the
present Levy Court would do nothing for bet
ter roads. Perhaps the members think that the
present method of caring for the highways gives
them more political patronage to distribute and
political patronage would be Of more importance
70 them than the building Of better roads.

rHE INpEPENpENr VOTE.

our political leaders might as well face one
~ important fact the fact that in Delaware
a large independent vote that can exercise
controlling influence has developed. So far as
the Republicans are concerned this independent
vote appeared after the last State Convention.
Largely it was the outcome OF that convention.
One important thing about II, is that il has
not exerted itself at primaries of the party. It
has rested quietly, permitted the leaders to have
their own way and then it has made its infiu-
ence felt either by staying away from the polls
OF by voting the opposite ticket, or part of the
opposite ticket. The list OF scratched tickets at
our elections has been steadily increasing.
Before the last State Convention it was con-
idently believed that any man nominated by the
Republican party in Delaware could be elected
to Office 1t was not really dreamed OF that,
with the large Republican majority. it would be
possible to defeat a candidate regularly nomi-
mated by the party. But the result proved dii-
ferent and the leaders of the state will have to
govern them accordingly.
1t seems TO us that it would be much better
for the dissatisfied ones to make their objections
at the primaries. instead of remaining away ans
then deciding whether they shall support the
ticket or not. With big vote at the prmare:

TAX ON CORPORATIONS.

a S was TO be expected there promises to be
4 \ much opposition to the proposed tax on the
net earnings of corporations. The effect Of the
suggestion OF such a tax has been to split the
forces of those who favor an income tax. The
supporters of the latter at least some of them,
are inclined to favor the corporation tax but
we cannot see why they should be satshed-with
the change.
A tax-on the earnings of corporations is far
different from an income tax. The corporation
tax is an indirect way of getting money from the
supposedly rich and is open to objections more
serious than those which can be offered against
an income tax The fact that person owns
skock in corporations does not mean that such
person is rich 1t is possible under the corpora
ton tax for the very rich and the possessors OF
swollen fortunes TO escape their just share OF
anv increase that may be made in taxation
The proposed corporation tax seems to be
method of whipping the devil around the stump.
Those who profess TO favor an income tax avoid
il when the problem is put up to them and say
that it may be unconstitutional. Yet it may be
we'll to recall that the income tax law was de-
clarcd unconstitutional by the narrow margin
Of one vote by the Supreme Court There might
be a change in the courts view
II we are going to impose more taxes on the
wealth of the country, why should il not be
done fairly and iustly-that is, why should not
people pay in accordance with their wealth as
measured by their income? To be sure it is
suggested pN MI an anu ,oNiSis Vidt 'hS NDN-
situton be amended TO permit the levy
ing of such a tax, TO do away with all doubt,
but it is questionable even then whether we
shall have this tax for years to come We shall
not have it if the forces that have been fighting
against all added taxation that would be meas
ured with fairness have their way.
The greater part of the people. however when
they calmly think the matter over, will believe
that we should raise sufficient revenue by
means of the tariff without resorting TO other
forms OF taxation Once let the new scheme OF
increased taxation be started and there is no
telling where it will end 1t is certain to conflict
with the taxation laws of the states. The ma
tional government will encroaoh on fields OF tax
alton that the states think they should occupy.

A BULL FIGHT OF TO-DAY.
Mrs. Richard Bennett Saw One at
Seville, Spain, and Tells About 1t.

Mrs Richard Bennett who recently
returned from tour of Europe, has
been telling her Palisade friends Of
her experiences abroad Among other
things she saw bull fight at Seville
Spain, in company with her brother,
Lieut. Morrison, of the y. S. Navy.
In speaking of the full fight Mrs
Bennett said:
on cannot enlarge upon the hor
rors of the bull fight We in America
cannot understand how any modern
nation, alive to the demands of civil
zation, can tolerate this cruel sport.
1t is more than cruel-it is horrible,

characteristics Well, bull fight
lacks character in every sense. 1t is
a nightmare of horror and tumble of
cruelties that are incomprehensible
The bulls are raised of special stock
for the purpose. but they become per-
fectly docile while waiting to grow
big enough to enter the arena. They

the arena. When the arena is finally
filled with the excited pOpulace gath
cred to see the contest, the bulls are
let loose in the ring, and they do
not have the slightest suggestion of
wanting to fight. They roam around
in wonder before the crowd, beautiful
specimens TO look at, fat and sleek,
with a polished coat like mirror
of FURNISHED silver. and one wonders
what cruel heart could do such ma
jestic animals injury. Then comes the
attendants who throw darts at the
bull to get him infuriated These
darts are resets of ribbon, and the
dart is like a fish hook-it cannot be
withdrawn. The bulls cavort and run
madly about, still unconscious OF the
impending conflict, but are not given
firing sometimes OF the lack of spirit
in the bull the attendants hurl explo-
sive darts into their fesh-an instru-
ment OF torture which generally has
