Brewer on the Income Tax.

Justice David j. Brewer Of the
United States supreme court, in an adj
dress at Milwaukee discussing the in
come tax, said:
But now. after the hue and cry of the
day, we must have the privilege Of in
come taxes by the government. Surprising
that law passes, as I presume 1t will, and
congress sees fit to levy income taxes on
ali the income received from substantial,
direct personal property and real estate,
what will the states do In case they need
large sums of money for their own reve-
nue.? The power to tax, as John Mar
shall said, is the power to destroy. II
once you give the power to the nation to
tax all the incomes you give them the
power to tax the states, not out Of their
existence, but out of their vitality.
Justice Brewer gave voice to the
most logical objection to the income
tax that has been advanced. The con-
%stitution Classics methods of taxation
largely for the purpose of separating
the sources of revenue as between the
states and their subdivisions and the
federal government with the Idea of
giving each sufficient means of eve
nue. without one conflicting with the
other. Mr.. Brewer goes to the ex-
IRENE when he points out that through
the income tax levy the general gov
eminent might IA out the vitality Of
the states, but he illustrates the point
to which double taxation by indie
pendent taxing authorities might tend.
1t does not necessarily follow, how
ever, hat giving congress the power
to levy an income tax mean that the
federal government will exercise that
right continuously or, If exercised. the
tax will be excessive, but that the right
to levy II may at some time be the
saving of the nation. 1t is hardly to
be supposed that a congress made up
n one branch of representatives of
the state would ever tax them either
out of existence or into a state of i'm
potency. The policy Of the states and
the general government having sep
arate and distinct sources OF income
is undeniably sound in theory and ad-
visable in practice to secure the reve-
nue. necessary for each and an
equitable distribution Of tax burdens.

The New Premier in France.

The selection Of M. BRAND, a So
c~ialist. as premier Of France is an en-
tirely new departure in government
which will be watched with world
wide interest. Personally NJ. BRAND
is a man of high attainments as a
scholar, a brilliant debater and of no
little experience in government. 1t
will be the first time in history, how
ever, that a socialist has been the
head of a great constitutional govern
ment, though it's significance is less
than It would be IL the entire cabinet
entertained his views.
The new premier was called into the
~Clemenceau cabinet as a representa-
tive of the neutrality-suspicious. group,
whose support was necessary to sus-
tain the ministry, and particularly
during the contest over church discs
tablishment was the real leader of the
cabinet in the Chamber. The an
nouncement is made hat the new cab
met will follow out the program of
it's predecessor and, In fact, most of
it's members will be in the BRAND cab
met If he succeeds in forming one. So
far as the internal affairs of France
are concerned, therefore, little change
need be expected.
The greatest interest attaches to the
effect NJ. Brands ascendancy may
have on the foreign affairs of France.
Relations between France and Ger
many are always strained and the we'll
known hostility of Emperor William
to socialists and socialism will not tend
to improve conditions so long as BRAND
is premier. The car of Russia, the ally
of France, is no less bitterly opposed
to socialism and Great Britain, with
which France now has an understand
ing. is not specially friendly to M.
Brands ideas. Much will depend
upon the foreign minister in the new
cabinet. The present foreign minis
ter, who is not a socialist, is expected
to retain his portfolio, in which event
the effect of M. Brands elevation will
be minimized.

wATTERsONIAN DOCTRINE.
Preached IL for Forty Years end StIII
Sticks to the Gospel.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The. editor of the Courier-Journal does
not expect to live to see any political or
Ganization honestly arrayed in favor of
tariff for revenue only. He cannot hope
to see the democratic party other thar
the monster without a head and the empty
bottle with a label, which it now appears
to be. But as certainly as slavery rent
and broke up the democratic party will
protectionism rend and break up the re-
publican party.
AS a patriot and a philosopher, he would
prefer to see the two parties hold together,
very much distrusting all processes OF DO
litical dissolution and all so-called eras Of
good feeling. We live upon a System OF
intended party checks and balances; un-
der a government of public opinion based
on party responsibility. The sturdy Amer
icanism to which we still believe we are
tending will inculcate in every citizen the
principle that fidelity to party professions
and obligations is public duty; that party
lines are not lines of battle, but simply
opposite sides of the table in the council
chamber OF a board of directors, of which
all are equal members, and that good men
should not love one another less because
they differ In political opinions.
During forty years the editor of the
Courier-Journal has held to this doctrine.
and proclaimed 1t, and he 1t to
his countrymen intellectually and with
entire confidence.

issue of the proposed appropriation for

OUR NEED OF WATER.

MuSoGos Made Elastic and Tempora-
 turo Regulated by Moisture.
 Psychologists tell us that the animal body consists of almost 30 per cent of water. Admitting this to be true, it would seem plausible, says the Medical Record, that this quantity is necessary in order to carry on the normal physi- olOgical processes of the animal econo- my fin proper condition.
 For similar reasons 1t would also ap- pear plausible that should this quanti- ty in any way be greatly reduced or diminished, either through normal proc esses of the body or through abnormal processes, this lost quantity must im- mediately be resupplied. Should such a withdrawal of water be permitted to be unduly prolonged the disorders will assume such grave dimensions that life itself may ultimately be terminated.
 Elasticity and pliability of muscles, nerves, cartilage, tendons and even bones depend mainly on the amount of water they contain. Water also serves as a distributor of bodily heat and reg ulates the body temperature by the physical process of absorption and elimination.
 Under normal conditions and in a proper degree of health this supply is ordinarily furnished partly by the food and partly by the drink we are daily consuming. An overindulgence in the use of water, provided 1t Is not carried to excess, will seldom if ever be pro- ductive of any deIeteriOus cOnse- QuenceS.

The Tuscan peasant stands in the pe- culiar position of being neither a pro- prietor nor a dependent. writes Helen Zimmern in the Youths Companion. He is instead the partner in an indus
 try. According to this method of farming. which is called mezzadria, the proprietor of the land pays all the taxes. advances all money required, furnishes capital for the purchase of cattle and keeps in repair the dwelling house. The peasant in return works the fields. attends to the live stock and to other home industries. sells the products-in short is the absolute mas- ter of the land thst is confided to him. He works the soil exactly as if 1t were his own. and then, at stated intervals in the year. divides the products and profits with the real owner.
