Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir--From the press. like the tongue,
proceedeth both blessings and cursinss,
But In this short fpace we only want
to notice the cursings or evil fruit.
There are two things which we might
say mold the character and form this
destiny OF the young life. namely. az,
sociation and literature. Since this 4.
true. II Is the duty OF the Common
wealth. as well as the Individual to
make each as pure as possible,
1t seems to me. that the time hai
come when We should legislatc againsi
such vile and trashy literature that
poisons the mind OF the youth and
makes crimiuaig out of many. The
news. stores are fun of such weekly
periodicals as Diamond Dick. Jesse
James and hundreds OF others. which
in my opinion, 1t should be n peniten.
t!ary offense to publish or sell.
We protect the boy against the evil
of the bar and gambling dens, but
leave wide open this yawning door
OF sin without making single protest
We are continually reading of boys
crimes. led to commit same by reading
OF some boy bandit who filled his bag
with spoil by some daring exploit
You at first thought. might say thai
the fruit of the press cannot be reg.
ulated. that IL would be interfering
mems personal liberty TO wreck the
lives of men and cause minors TO be-
come conyicts for the object OF per-
sonal gain. We interfere with thu
personal liberty of the bar man and
the professional gambler. Why not
deal the same with the bad publisher?

A Observation-Disclosures

The late Pat Sheedy was a gambler.
He made no bones of that fact. lie

stud poker better than any man who
ever sat across the board from him.
lie had fine horses and a handsome
home, because he could hide his bluf
so that the keenest did not know

sands of game losers and hundreds of
newspaper men knew the essential
truth of what Pat claimed for him

But now it turns out that Pat had
some fine ideas of philanthropy. AT

Possibly he had in mind some such
cases as that of the Chicago police-
man who refused to risk his life in
attempting to arrest a murderer and
was dismissed for cowardice
Sheedy argued that If these officers
and fremen knew that their families
would be protected in case of their
death that they would be tho more
willing to undergo the risks OF their

to hazard anything. So it was that
Pat wished to enlist some philan-
thropist who would endow the feeble
pension funds of the New York police

This is an admirable Idea. though
not a new one--one that applies as
we'll to Richmond or any other city as
to New York It is perhaps reason

heavy on his mind. No city can af-
ford adequately to pension these fami-

THE INCOME TAX.

4 1.-The Tinles-Dispatch believes that
Virginia should ratify the proposed
constitutional amendment giving Con-
gress the power to lay and collect
taxes on incomes Favorable action
from every possible State will be need
ed If this measure is to go through
To adopt the amendment will sim
| ply be to give to Congress a power
which it was thought for a century
that Congress had. Until the supreme
Court decision of 1895 the Federal gov
ernment was never hindered in Its
exercise of this power. Incomes We're
taxed without apportionment during
tho Civil War and up to 1872, and no.
body questioned the right of the gov
eminent to do this. What was as
sumed. as a Federal right up to 1895
should now be formally given as a
right: not because of the mistaken
assumption, but because the power is
one which the government should have
at It's command, to be used as an addi-
tional revenue measure in times Of
emergency or to relieve the ineq,itabl
Determinations of the tariff in normal
times.
This amendment simply opens the
door TO an income tax in the future.
It does not follow that such tax
would be laid Immediately, or even
soon. It Is absolutely true that the
giving OF this additional taxing power
puts new weapon in the hands or
the central government at the possible
expense of the States, and that this
power may conceivably be subjected to
| serious abuse. AS Congress during
| the war taxed the State banks out OF
tion OF the courts, use this new power
| to iniure industries or classes of indi-
tpiduals. It is not possible to frame
tany amendment In such a way as to
preclude all possibility OF oppressive
| discrimination. The issue Will never

CONGRESSMAN ON THE NlEIs-
CHANT MARINE LEAGUE.

CHANT MAlSAAE LCAIoD.
we observe from the Congressional
Record of January IL that in the
course of his speech on January s..
Representative Kustermann, of Wiscon-
sin. spaid his respects to the Merchant
Marine League In the following Ian
guuge:
Now, suppose you have all heard
Of the American Flag which is the
Cleveland. ohio, publication of the
subsidy shouteGs. But you may have
not heard OF the titles given to two
other organs-mouth organs of this
so-called Merchant Marine League"
First Is the American Flag, of Cleve-
land, then comes the one bearing the
proud name Our Flag of San Fran
cisco, and the other one is called the
Stars and Stripes" OF Seattle.
Clothed with these patriotic titles
these organs of the subsidy interests
believed they could safely wage war
libelous statements as they desired
about those who oppose the vicious
system of substituting Of ships by the
government. But they have over
reached themselves, and I propose to
show up these wolves, stalking around
under cover of patriotic titles and rep
resenting pretty nearly everything.
except patriotism.
It seems that somebody-very likely
the Merchant Marine League-had ac-
cused Representative Kustermann of
being bribed by German shipping In
terests to fight the substituting OF
American lines. When Mr.. Kustermann
denounced this criminal charge as
false, the organ of the Merchant Ma
rine League pleasantly intimated that
he lied. This seems to be fair sam
pie of the leagues methods OF prov
ing" that advocacy of subsidies is the
one true symbol of patriotism pure
and indebted.
