sTUPENDOUs ISSUE
For Forty.six States-Income
Tax Amendment to the
Constitution.

A live question has suddenly come
up in every State of the Union direct
from Washington-it is the question
of approving che Sixteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution OF the Unit
ed States. Already the statisticians
are determining what States will ac-
cept and what will reject the amend
ment, but they all realize that those
States whose people are keenly alive
to government affairs will embrace
the proposition. IL is only in the
great cities that indifference will be
noted among the masses. There the
roar OF the machinery and the burn
ing up of lives in the mad race for
wealth prevents the masses from Civ
ing a thought To detail questions OF
government 1t is enough, they feel,
to take time once a year to go to a
polling place on two-hour leave OF
absence and cast their ballots for a
Democrat or a Republican. The stu
dents of economies and politics place
the Eastern commercial States in the
column against the proposed constitu-
tional amendment, while the great
West and Middle West are conceded
to be securely for 1t.
Forty years have gone over our
heads since an amendment to the Con-
stitution was attempted. Nearly half
century, and yet Congress has not
hesitated an instant in adopting by
close to unanimous vote the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, by the Senate and House
of Representatives the United
States of America in Congress Assem-
bled (two-thirds of each house con-
curing therein), That the following
article is proposed as an amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States, which, when ratified by the
Legislatures Of three-fcurths of the
several States, shall be valid to all
intents and purposes as a part of the
Constitution:
article XVI. The Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes, from whatever source derived
without apportionment among the sew
eral States, and without regard to
any census or enumeration

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known TO the medical fraternity. Ca

quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and

by destroying the foundation of the

The Bank Check.

A Frenchman quoted in Paris let
ter Of the London Globe tells Of the
origin of the present day bank check.
1t is well known, he says. that the fog
is at times SO dense In London that
everything is blotted out. That is the
opportunity for the marauder, and he
is not slow In turning 1t to his profit.
At the beginning Of last century the
attacks made upon hank messengers
and others became so numerous that
tradesmen and manufacturers began
to think seriously Of devising some
means Of protecting themselves. They
therefore invented the check, which
enables a man to go about with little
ready money and renders useless the
indiscreet exploration Of pocketbook.

Governor Wilson's Partnership.

Gov. Wilson is continually getting
himself in hot water and he is hard
" out of one thing before he is In

form a law partnership in Louisville.
The lawyers all over the State who
are not criticising this are laugh

lawyer himself, therefore the blum
der is less excusable. The statutes
positively prohibit the Governor OF
the State from engaging in any 9TH

Wilson is the first man who has ev-

It Is becoming daily more apparent
that If this country is ever to receive
a genuine revision of the tariff down
ward. 1t must be by Democratic ma

II is evident that President Taft has

but his main purposes will be defeat
ed. With Democrats, revision OF the
tariff downward means what x cays.
