To those who know Mr.. HEYBURN's
infinity of "reminiscences, encyclopaedia
information, sp~ontaneity Of speech
and iron endurance this o an ap-
palling threat. When the Senator from
Idaho is up he habitually reviews the
history Of the Republican party or
something else equally venerable and
eventful. AS II it were not enough In
the process Of adjusting interests that
ranged from wood pulp to pineapples
to cite the contemporary tariff reso-
buttons of each partyl Mr.. HEPBURN
on the day referred to ransacked the
Republican platform Of 1860 and res
directed the wordiest and drowsiest
resolution yet read in tho Senate,
and a chord OF his capacious memory
was struck: .
with q little oilcioth cape on my shoulders
and an oilcloth cap on my head, at the head OF .
company Of Wide Awake boys. in iAso marched
70 that music on q great occasion. when JoHN
SHERMAN. then just having entered the United
States Senate. WIS the orator OF the day. the nth
OF September. the anniversary Of the battle Of
Br~audywine. at the place where II was fought
and where BAYARp TAYLOR presided over the
meeting, My mind was opening to Intelligence
II was learning the lessons OF patriotism from
worthy lips. and that doctrine sank deep In my
heart, and II rested In the hearts OF all around
me-"
The Grand Young Man Of Indiana
gazed awestruck at the venerable Sen
ator from Idaho, and. thirsty for the
information on hides that would gush
from the Hepburn bosom upon the least
show Of curiosity, Mr.. BEvERIDoE spoke
respectfully of the interesting occasion
when he as a young man marched with
oilcloth cape and cap and heard as the
orator of the occasion that great mar
JOHN SHERMAN. I asked the Senator
then, the subject OF hides being under
consideration, whether SHERMAN was
for a duty on hides or wal for free hides,
and the Senator answered- Well,
it doesn't matter what the Senator an
swered. What does matter is the age
of the Hon. WELDON BRINToN HEY
BURN when he marched in a little oil
cloth cape to the music Of the tariff
plank of 1850. He was not the young
man Of Mr.. BEvERIDoE's romantic fancy,
but had attained the tender and sus-
ceptible age Of eight.
Now this detail is important because
if Mr.. HEPBURN is going to defy the
Thermometer and ignore the clock and
talk az much as GRoTE wrote about
Greece or GIBBoN of Rome unless the
tariff is revised to suit him, he will drone
all through the dog days and will still
be talking when the katydid af1rms and
denies and the goldenrod is moulting.
1t is a fearful prospect!
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1909-06-26

not surprising that the complement,
often damaged by tragical disasters,
has degenerated. From the Army and
Navy Gazette we quote q very recent
report upon differences among the rival
authorities concerning three Dread
noughts which were to be laid down:
There was no real nnenimi,y as 70 the charac-
terstics Of the big ships. The Naval Stan In
clined TO unity OF calibre, as In the Dresdnousht.
while the Director Of Naval Artillery's proposal
Of sixteen 100 inch guns was supported by n.
CHAuTEMPs. On the other side the Superior
Naval School, by the voice OF Its two latest pro-
fessors OF strategy and tsctics. proposed twelve
o. inch guns. nring three rounds a minute with
an effective range OF 5000 meters. Which solu-
ton Of the problem will be adopted by the recon-
stituted Superior Council It is impossible TO
forecast"
The confusion Of opinion and the
rivalry Of the savants are typical OF the
way the navy is managed in France
and In the end the Minister Of Marine
has to reckon with the quidnuncs in
the Chamber Of Deputies. Only last
December things were going SO badly
that a committee headed by Vice
Admiral DE JoNoUIEREs was formed to
prepare a scheme for the reorganiza-
ton Of the naval administration. The
existing system was described at the
time as "incoherence ITSELF" Naval
writer's admitted that it could not be
worse, and as a result great confusion
prevailed among the officers as to their
duties and responsibilities. Our own
chronic row between line and staff
is a humorous incident compared with
the tragic quarrel that is destroying
efficiency in the French navy. i

Mr.. Heyburn's Dreadful Threat.

his seat until the tariff was revised right

Dismal and Dull Facts.

A correspondent whose letter is
printed on this page points out the cir
cumstance that the demand for a tax
on corporate incomes was contained not
in the Republican platform on which
Judge TAFT was elected, but in the
Democratic platform, which was re-
jected by a popular majority Of 200, 900
for TAFT owe BRYAN.
That is true. 1t is a Democratic
proposition exhibited in the Bryan plat
form which the Republican leaders
in the Cabinet and the Senate, at the
instance of the Republican President.
ere now trying with legislative inge-
nuity to realize and with subtle argu-
mentation TO justify.
Yet of the Democratic ability to know
a good tax from a bad tax, to conceive
and inaugurate any what
ever OF value to the country, that same
Republican; platform on which Mr..
TAFT was elected declared at Chicago
only one year ago last week:
Democratic Incapscity.-we cali the at
tention OF the American people to the fact that
none OF the great measures here advocated by
the Republican party Iamons which was not
Q tax upon corporate incomesl could be enacted
and none of the steps forward here proposed
could be taken under a Democratic Admins
traitor"
II the eminent Republican leaders
and lawyers now cooperating with the
Republican President to procure the
enactment of the scheme OF taxation
proposed exclusively by the incapable
Democracy land by the Socialist party
last year also) will look further into
the Bryan platform they will discover
that the income tax plank of this party
of chronic incapacity and defeat reads
as follows:
I'VE favor an income tax as part Of our revenue
system. and we urge the submission OF a cons'i-
tutional amendment specifically authorizing Con-
greu to levy and collect a tax upon individual
Gsd corporate Incomes. 10 the end that wealth
may bear Its proportionate share OF the burdens
Of the Federal Government"
Thus the incapable Democrats who
proposed the tax on corporate incomes
were 30 doubtful Of it's constitutionality
that they Jumped it with the tax on indi-
vidual incomes as requiring in the first
place the submission to the people Of an
enabling amendment.
We commend the suggestion to Mr..
TAFT and his Republican councillors
and collaborators.

Deterioration in the French Navy

Deterioration in the French Navy.
The report of the French parliament
tary commission arraigning the Navy
Department for extravaganza, ineffi-
cheney and ven corruption, only o n
firms an opinion generally held by naval
experts. On paper the establishment
is impressive, but a vacillating policy
rs to types and construction has made
retrogression inevitable and France
has fallen to the fourth place in sea
power. Disasters like the unexplained
explosion on the lena, by which lls
officers and men lost their lives, have had
a bad effect upon the personnel, which
could not but believe that either ig-
ran or roguery was at the bottom
Of so many mysterious accidents. The
gun crews had no faith in the material
they handled when there were prema-
ture burstings of shells on ship after
another, the Suffren, Duplex, Kleber
and Desaix. In target practice the
French, naturally enough, are very far
behind both the Americans and the
British.
For several years the programme Of
naval construction has been a tug OF
war among the specialists in France,
and in the Chamber Of Deputies the
Minister Of Marine has always been on
the defensive. The ambitious proposals
Of 1900, which recognized the submarine
as Of superior value to the battleship,
had to be abandoned for a programme
Of big ships after Port Arthur and
Tsushima, but the advocates of subma-
rines and torpedoes were only biding
their time. 1t seemed to have come
when Admiral FouRNIER made a favor
able report upon the work OF submersi-
bles in the Mediterranean manauvres.
1t must be remembered that France re-
garded herself Of the inventor Of the
submarine and once believed that it was
going to revolutionize naval warfare.

Gently declined in France owing to a

upon the armored cruisers Marseillaise
and Dupetit-T houars only one hit by
q torpedo was scored. France no
longer dreams Of r~etrenchment by sub
shutting a fotilla Of these little hornets
for q great battleship. But there has been
no settled policy Of building since the
controversy began, and the effect upon
the various bureaus has been demon
alizing. It seems probable that in the
confusion Of plans there has been much
bad work done and q good deal Of de-
fective material furnished. With chiefs
at loggerheads and the navy a bone Of
