LRDI GRAS CARNIVAL
MNEW ORLEANS

Although many other cities have at
tempted to rival the Mardi Gras cele
bration annually enacted upon the
stage of New Orleans, none have sue
ceeded and the Crescent City main
tains it's supremacy as "the home of
folly" 1t is the old French blood that
has from the earliest days flown
through the veins of the city, but is
now suppressed in its fun-loving man.
ifestations by the demand of trade
and barter all during these magic
days proceeding Mardi Gras.
The first Mardi Gras celebration in
this city was that of 1857, when a
pageant of decorated and Illuminated
cars was given by the Mystic Krewa
of Comus, secret organization formed
in that year. The subject was not
Millions Comus, but his Paradise Lost,
and after the procession had passed
through the streets, the maskers re-
paired to the old Gaiety Theatre and
there produced series of appropriate
tableaux. Comus gave annual parades
after that until 1861, when the Civil
War turned for time the thoughts
of the people from these gay mumer-
les to more tragic interests. In 1866
Comus resumed its representations,
which have continued to appear regu-
larly every year since then with the
exception of suspension from 1884
to 1890. 1t appears on the night of
Shrove Tuesday.
The second mystic organization to
come into existence was the Twelfth
Night Jewellers in 1870. BY that time
the heterogeneous population of New
Orleans had become largely English
and this society, which celebrated the
twelfth night after Christmas, was
"reminiscences of the old English GUS
Twelfth Night Cake and the distri-
button of the ring and beans by which
means the queen of the Reveller's ball
is always chosen. The Jewellers, like
most of the other associations, lapsed
for while, but for the last fourteen
years have continued regularly to en-

was attired in an exceptionally be-
coming white dress and very becom-

been happily planned, will be the sub
ject of much interest among the many
local friends of the couple. The
bride is a charming young lady. Mr..
John Diamond is a Santa Rosa young

gratulations, Miss Essie proved to

President Taft Is
Pretty Well Scared.

Mr.. Taft and his advisers see one
thing very clearly: money must be
raised to run the government on sub
stantially the same extravagant plan
which has characterized republican
domination of recent years. Many
an administration has gone to pieces
on rocks which Outlines project
above the surface of the financial
seas and the president naturally
wishes to steer clear of these threat
ening objects and save himself from
obloquy and his party from destruo-
ton.
So the rumor that he will recon-
mend the passage of a law taxing the
undivided profits OF corporations two
per cent is not surprising. He be-
Heves such a law would be constitu-
tional, whereas he has grave doubts
as to the decision of the supreme
court concerning an income tax how
ever skillfully drawn. But money
must be had, by hook or by crook,
aud he is well aware that the tariff
determination formulated by Payne and
Aldrich will not prove a revenue rails
er. being intended first, last and all
the time more for the protection o.
pet interests than for the support OF
government.
One thing seems clearly indicated
by the presidents attitude, if rumor
speaks true with regard to the cor
poration tax, and that is Mr.. Taft
means to sign the -Aldrich bill
He may gag over it's provisions, and
away down in mis- heart" he may
have q ''feelin'" for the miserable
masses who have been humbugged
by his party's chicanery; but the
salvation of that party, as the stall
warts and standpatters view it, Will
depend upon executive approval OF
their tariff measure.
Incidentally II may be questioned
whether a direct tax based upon cor
poration profits will be any more
constitutional than a direct tav would
on individual incomes-Hor what is a
corporation under the law but an in
dividuaI?
Taken altogether the situation is
an interesting one, and the democrat
ic student who fails to read in it
bright promise for the triumph in the
near future OF the political principles
he advocates should put on glasses
and examine the matter more care
fully.

The Queer Doings of
East Coast Turtles.

What is there about so clumsy a
thing as turtle to make it the sub
ject of so mauS remarkable stories?
Far be it from The Journal to accuse
any o. its admired contemporaries Of
departing for moment from what
they believe to be the most precise
truth, but really ones mind grows
confused when reading about these
queer doings of turtles, and to escape
from incredulity one is forced to at
tribute many Of these tales to some
hypnotic power exercised by the big
water animal over those who come
within its sphere of influence, before
its conversion into soup.
A few days ago we quoted from the
Jacksonville TimesUnion something
about turtles laying eggs in automo-
biles down on the seashore near Day
tona and now here comes the Daytona
Gazette News with the following
story replete with a Verisimilitude
which defies downright contradic-
ton:
