The program for q prominent State educational institution of Alabama car ries the information that one of it's le ading speakers Will be gen. tleman who makes his living as q railroad attorney. Is it possible that the Tribunes of the People are asleep in the watch towers. to permit such a thing to pass without denunciation? Time was. and not so many months aro, that a member of this much abus- ed profession would have been arraign- ed at the pillory of public denuncia- ton by the sentinels of the peoples liberty. Possibly since so many of the Tribunes of the People have gotten of fee and waxed fat therein they are growing careless of their duty, Or is it that the people themselves have ? turned to that State of mind in which Ley sensibly hold that a man can be an attorney and even railroad attor- nty and yet he an honest man and a good citizen?

Tax Wealth, Not Poverty.

New York World.
 Wayne Macveagh, Attorney General of Franklin Macveagh. the present Secretary of the Treasury. asks Chair man Payne of the House Committee on Ways and Means this unanswerable
 If new taxes must be imposed, why should the colossal incomes and the colossal accumulations of the posses sors of what MT. Carnegie himself calls "surplus' wealth continue to be ex- empted from proper taxation? ..--. eqaai,y M MaSNsssnl ansn.@srasls. He oaIi. the tax on sugar infamous. as 1t extorts from the laboring man. .s an actual ,sa same tax extorts from the richest multi millionaire .'' He reminds Mir Payne that in Pittsburg. the source of giant tariff-built fortunes. unskiiled living" and that wealth "to be entitled to respect must show that 1t has been earned. not merely appropriated" He says that many very rich men would prefer to pay taxes that would deprive them of no luxury rather than see in- creasing burdens heaped upon those less fortunate brothers whose lives are passed in that increasing calculation of vides-and sometimes fails to provide -suffioient daily bread"
 Mr. Macveagh is right. His letter is True-Rdaicalism, not False Radical ism We should tax wealth, not pover- ty.
 tance tax. It should be progressive falling more heavily upon great for tunes than small. There should be constitutional Federal income tax. II should be graduated: 1t should have a liberal exemption limit; 1t should dis crlminate between earned and invest ment income Both these taxes should be heavy enough to afford substantial relief to poor men from taxed food: taxed clothing. taxed shelter, taxed necessaries of life.

AN INDEPENDENT.

In this day of attempted regulation Of the human appetite and digestion, we occasionally happen on genuine tconoclast-or at least a fully develop ed unbeliever. Here. for example, Is New York woman who has lately pass cd the century mark in age, and thus writes to a contemporary:
 never lived by rule. ate what l liked: wore what I like ed. and lived Christian life. Have the styles chang ed much? ! wore wore coal sGH.sie r,ng row enspto to d wedding sixty years ago. l dont want the ballot. Men have run the government to suit me one hunoreo years, and l can trust them Tor the rest of my stay.
 Here, now. is a woman who, to use the words of an old song, has been willing to "let the wild world wag as it will" while she travelled her own way. Those who are qualified to give advice lay down certain rules of diet. both eating and drinking, and tell us that we should follow those rules as i, nearly as may be if we would live long 
 always agree, and there may be con- siderable variation between the views of different authorities, but all of them can give us pretty definite directions as to how we should eat and drink, work and sleep. and of all other mat ters that enter into our life. and also point out the penalties of disobedience or disregard.
 But here is a woman who has been travelling life's pathway a hundred years and who seems to have gone her own way. She ate what she liked and we suppose she ate when she pleased and as much as she pleased. The main point is that she refused to live by rule, and appears to have even been indif- ferent to the demands of fashion. That is shown by her declaration that she doesn't want the ballot, as the men have been running the government to suit her for a century. That is some what of compliment to the men, though we must believe that she is easily suited if she has been content with some styles of government that she has witnessed. The main point, however. is that she has lived just as she please and made a success of It.

MAY SEIZE BRAZIL SHIPS.
Leviathans Building ip England Tempt
 the Admiralty.

New York Herald.
 A suggestion Is thrown out in some quarters that a ready way to strength en the British navy would be for the government to acquire the three Bra zilian battleships now being built in this country. They are of the type very similar to the British Dread noughts. ed at the Elsw1ek yard on September 10 last and is by now within measur- able distance of completion. The oth- CT two are building; one, the Sac Pao- To, at Barrow. md the other at Els 7 wick No date for their completion has been announced. but 1t seems clear that they should all be ready for sea by De- cember. 1slo. a date which. according the danger point. The Morning Post says; ,..o,.... u,...,o. ..,..,. |. as to whether Brazil would be willing to sell her ships. and the statements were made last autumn by the Brazil ian representatives that she would not.

CENTRAL AMERICAN UNREST.

It is never matter of surprise to read of war in Central America" In fact, it is rather to be wondered at if we fail to see that announcement in the papers any day. for those alleged republics are likely to come to blows these so-callsd wars are often but nt- tle else than vaudeville performances. they serve to keep up unrest and dis turbances, and thus affect civilized countries on this and the other side the ocean. Agitation and revolu- tion appear to be strictly the normal condition of affairs down there, and there seems little prospect of a change if they are left to themselves.
 Perhaps those turbulent countries de- serve a spanking. but who shall ad- minister 1t? "If. now," remarks The Hartford Courant, "our own govern ment and that of Mexico put down their feet and say that there must be peace on the American continent, 1t is likely that the ferment will cease. It is a fact, melancholy or otherwise as one may view it, that these tropical countries are among the most fertile They need just two things to make them central figures otherwise than geographIcally-thes two things are political stability and healthfulness. Modern science has already done a vast deal to make tropical climates toler- able. Panama. Cuba and Manila are evidences of this; 1t will surely in time conquer the levers and open the way for Northern men of ambition and lished by somebody's strong hand"
 We must confess that in our opinion The Courant is crediting the United States and Mexico with supreme pow CTS. It would be possible. perhaps, to so impress these countries that they would quiet down and be good for a time. but permanent peace appears to be among the things not to be hoped for. They are like a crowd of bad boys who cannot play together or remain near each other without frequent scraps.
 The Kansas City Journal is rather in favor of drastic measures. Refer ring to the recent reported outbreak between Nicaragua and Salvador it argues that the only hope of preserv- the forcible intervention of this coun- try, conjointly with Mexico. The Unit ed States has no desire nor could it afford to annex any of these banana republics. Any one of them would be a rich and profitable possession, and no European power would hesitate for a moment to take advantage of the present opportunity to grab them. But such action on the part of the United States would be fatal to its uniform policy of friendly protection to the South and Central American countries and it's guarantee of their territorial integrity against foreign aggression under the terms of the Monroe doc urine. We want the trade, but not the lands of our Latin neighbors. But at the same time it is the duty of the United States government to protect the rapidly growing interests of its citizens in Central America, as well as to require a faithful observance of international law as involved in the treaties and agreements of these coun- tries with our country The approach ing completion of the Panama canal and the progress which American rail- way builders are making In connecting the links in the Pan American railroad, wh1ah AAy nAAdA onV about forty

What They Make Judges Out Of. Philadelphia Press


 Philadelphia Press.
 Justice David Brewer. of the United States Supreme Court, during a recent address before the students of law at the University of Pennsylvania. told them one of the experiences of his ju- dicial career at his own expense:
 Tt happened I was sitting at one time on a number of cases in which 8 good friend of mine was interested as counsel and 1t also happened that In many of them my decisions were rem dered against my friends clients. One day. after the completion of such q case. we sat together talking. when very bashful young man from the rural districts came in to see me, bsar- ing a card Of introduction, to obtain my advice upon the choice of e profess sion. What do you think you want to doT I asked. T kind of thought I'd better study law he replied. Not that want to very much. but because I guess I'd be a judge. They make judges out of lawyers don't they? he asked. somewhat hesitatingly. Once in & while.' my legal Friend replied. before I could answer. once in a while they do: but not often.'"

The Summer Mans Commandments.
 First-Thou shalt not believe all that thou dost see in summer adver- tiscnents. for many a modest puddle hath been. called a lake. and often fresh eggs and poultry from the farm" bears a citified flavor.
 Second-Thou shalt not pose as d rich mans son, lest on thy return to the city the ribbon counter eX- poscth thee to the gibcs of girls thou hast tried to hoodwink.
 Third-Thou shalt not puff out thy chest and boast of muscle, lest the farmers son challenge thee to wrestle and sit upon thee with ease, whilst summer girls heap ridiculc upon thee.
 Fourth-Thou shalt avoid games of poker on the train so that thy dough may last long in the vacation days the boss hath given thee.
 Fifth-Thou shalt not pace too much credence in the summer girrs yes" for when thou art returned to thy job in the city thou are soon forgotten.
 Sixth-Thou shalt not .cGvet a farm CTS life, for q steam heated flat in January hath the country beaten forty ways.
 Seventh-Avoid indulgence in apple jack, for verily it compareth with Park Row firewatcr, as molten lead doth with ice cream soda.
 Eighth-Thou shalt not rock the boat, for the seTvitors of Satan are recruited, cen from among those that doeth so.
 Ninth-UsC thine own judgment whether to appear before thy lady love in a bathing suit, for remember that summer clpthes covereth null titude of natures mistakes.
 Tenth-Thou shalt not spend all thy vacation money, for verify seven lean days must pass after thy return before pay day cometh around again.

and the Record each gave him nice complimentary write-ups and the spirit e. boosting Arizona seems to be genuine in the Angcieno heart. Among others who mentioned the probability of his visiting the fair was Moses Hamburger, the notable merchant of the coast city.
 Getting back to horse" talk, MT Hildrcth said he arrived in Los An geles two days before the opening of the Los Angeles race meeting and i'm proved the time in calling on all the horsemen who had stock in attendance and in sticking up his posters, entry blanks, etc, around the horse stables.
 He is assured there will be many more coast horses here than last year. There are twelve promised from Los Angeles laloae and five from san Bernardino, and the season is vet carly. The horses are green yet and as they work out, plans will mature.
 President Chadwick, of the Los An geleS Driving association, says he cX- poets to come to the fair. One of the best boosters for Phoenix found by MT. Hildrcth is George w. Ford, whose
 
 year. He said he was sure coming to Phoenix. and if Goldeuut beat Emily w the following day he. would bring his whole string. Goldenut won against a field of thirteen and MT. HiIdreth expects Ford to make good. Charlie DeRyder says he expects to come with his string. having played Phoenix two or thrce times and know ing just what to expect. Fred Ward promises to come with Emily w, which is also an old performer on the Phoe- nix track; Delilah, with a record of 2:O71I. made on the Phoenix track, a swift pacer. owned by Homer Ruther- ford. is also billed for Phoenix again this year. Deilah is q full sister of Bystander, J. C. ,Adems' horse.
 Mir Christopher, a Well-knOwn ice cream caterer, told MT. Hildrcth that he expected to attend the fair with his wife and bring along a new horse he called Zomboetta. of the Zombro stock.
 Mir Durfee, father of William Dur fee, who was here last year, and who is q director of the Los Angeles Agri- cultural park, says he has heard so much about Phoenix he is going to come and bring his string, though he has practically retired. from the racing game as a business.
 George Baker is working out new string in the east, and Mr:1 Hildreth could not learn whether he proposes to play Phoenix or not, but he is ex- pected just the same having been here at the preceding fairs.
 Frank Williams. who has string of three good horses, says he has heard so much about Phoenix that he and the horses will both be here this year to see the sights
 So much for the trip. Speaking of the races MT Hildreth says the com mission has decided to double the run ming events this year, and there will be two running races each day instead of one as heretofore.
 Attention is also called to the fact i that the races for the Arizona colts 1 both trotting and pacing, will be bet ter events and worth much more i money than heretofore. The purses i heretofore have been S30O and adled l money for each race. This year they will be s40O and added money. There | are sure to be more entries than ever | before. and it is not unlikely that most | of the colt races with the added money will be worth s1OO0 each.
