Nonh-Most Ancient Of Mariner.

II would seem that the Society Of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers. when
in convention in Detroit, made an error
Of judgment in us refusal TO place the
name Of Noah upon its roll OF honor
ary membership. Every careful student
Of that stirring Biblical narrative Of
early nautical adventure must have been
impressed with the divers end admirable
qualities Of that sturdy captain and pa
triarch.
Noah was a ship designer who toiled
without the guidance OF precedent and
with a scarcity Of labor due 10 the in
.credulity Of his scofing neighbors. As
a captain. he compelled good order
among a lot Of passengers the most
varied and by nature Of the most inlmi-
cal dispositions. But through sorty days
and forty nights the vigorous tread OF
his foot on deck was the signal for peace
and quiet in the steerage. As a caterer.
his qualities almost surpass The power
Of imagination. His commissariat would
have dismayed the most expert Of mod

Is no record that this ancient mariner

Etiquette Of the Telephone.

hardly be questioned-there was a wide
popular misunderstanding Of Mr.. Taft's
real position respecting al income tax.

undoubtedly thinking OF such an impost
as would meet the dictum Of the su-
preme Court. whereas people generally
supposed him TO be referring TO a gen
eral Income tax which the changed men,

constitutional points involved. This pop

have advocated a general income tax
and have endeavored 10 bring the weight

TiHman ard Tea.

We would weep with Senator Tillman
over the sad. sad fate Of his proposition
to put a stif tariff tax on tea for the
benefit OF a struggling South Carolina in
fant industry. only we are by no means
sure the Senator ever weeps. We would
laugh with h'-l, only we are not advised
that he ever laughs. So We content our
selves with extending him our most re-
sTectful sympathy, and we leave each
and every gentle reader 10 apply that
somewhat comprehensive term as he or
she may see ft.
The Senator has seemed to be very
sincere and insistent about this tax: so
much so, indeed. that we have more than
once been tempted 10 believe he really
meant it. It is the suspicion that he ac-
tually did mean it that haunts our minds
now. and causes Us to feel for him as
we do II was a beautiful dream. and we
are tempted TO think it ought to have
come true whether it honestly deserved TO
or not It would have been poetic justice,
if DemOcratically grotesque.
To have added tax Of 10 cents a
pound to tea would have meant a few
thousand dollars in the pockets Of some
well-meaning and high-minded South Car
olina patriots. albeit it would have meant.
IN all probability. the loss Of several
millions to numerous tea drinkers scat

are fearfully and wonderfully made. as
a rule. They are different from common
place Jokes in that they are elusive and
hard to untangle right of the bat.
A tariff on South Carolina tea would
have been a beautiful thing to contem-
plate That the suggestion is dead. we
doubt; that it sleepeth only. we sus-

Origin of the Corporation Tax

Senator Roots speech on the corpora
ton tax deserves careful study not only
for is legal and economic defense Of the
tax, but also for its frank account Of
the origin Of the measure and its equally
frank confession that the President rec
onmended the corporation tax to pre-
vent the adoption Of an income tax be
cause in his Cthe Presidents Judgment
it was better for the country that the
tax upon the business OF corporations
should be Incorporated in our law than
that the general income tax should be
incorporated IN our law" Mr.. Root is
also candid enough 10 say that there is
no intention on the Republican side that
the new taxation shall take the place Of
customs taxation for the purpose Of
protecting American industry.
Mr. Root takes the position-important
because Of criticism Of the President on
the assumption that he has changed front
%ith respect 10 the income tax-that the
tax on corporation net incomes Just
adopted by the Senate is precisely what
Mr.. Taft had in mind when. in his speech
Of acceptance, he expressed the opinion
that an income tax could be devised
which would conform TO the decisions OF
the Supreme Court. In pursuance Of this
opinion, says Mr.. Root. the President.
early in his administration, directed the
Attorney General 10 frame such an in
