Gov. Hughes of New York raises against the proposed Federal income tax the objection that taxation of in- comes derived from State and munich pal bonds would lessen their value by the exact amount of the tax and thus decrease the demand for them, this in turn lessening the borrowing power of States and municipalities which. he says. would be in effect 'an impair ment of the essential rights of the State"
 Upon the other hand. should these bonds be exempted from the proposed income tax. they would become favor ite investments and bring higher prices and could carry greater rates of inter- est. They would speedily be absorbed by capitalists seeking to escape the tax Co which other incomes would be subject. We fall to see any good req son why there should be any playing of fkvurites" in this matter-why one particular class of investors should be privileged to escape a burden laid up- on others

In an address on the 12Sth anniver- sary of the surrender of Cornwallis to Gen. Washington. Hon. J. Hampton Moore. president of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association, cited washing tons waterway policy as being as greatly needed now as then, and add a:
 We are now brought to a crisis in fhe progress of the railroad where it appearn that some other method of transportation Is necessary to support the productive power of the people. 1t is the cry of commerce and labor, of capital and of industry, demanding again that the waterways of the Unit a States. it's harbors and approaches, be developed now, even as Washington ve10pment- 1t Is not that the railroad ls failing to give the best it can af- ford; ft is not that marvellous benefits, uniting States and sections, oceans, lakes and gulfs. have not ensued since the iron horse began its civilization of the wilderness; it is simply that the population of the country has grown khe ability of the railroad to comply with the requirements of modern Transportation.
 AS there is a demand for new and Delkef f0duS to enable the farmer to get to market and the automobilist to traverse the country. so the commerce ana industry of the land are seeking through the waterways an outlet which the railroads are unable to provide
 Let us have railroads. wherever they may be well and wisely conducted; let ms have good roads for the travelling public In every State and territory of the land; but under no condition let us inn utilization for commerce and industry, of the waterways upon which the fu- ture business of the nation so largely depends. We need the railroads, and we need the wagon roads, but where the waterways have again become a public necessity, where it Is shown they will serve to relieve congestion and promote trade, we ought to have them. This was the thought of Washn gton more than a century and a quarter ago; it is now the thought of progress sive men.

GOVERNOR HUGHES ; SHOWS PARTY USE
TELLS YALE STUDENTS TWO GREAT POLITICAL ORGANIzA- TIONS ARE ESSENTIAL.

New Haven. Jan. 11.-Yale stu. dents heard last night from Governor Charles Evans Hughes how, in his essentials to the conduct of American affairs, and how the sphere of real usefulness of the parties had by cus- tom been limited to two. The lec- ture was the third in the Dodge course upon the Responsibilities of Citizenship"
 Governor Hughes spoke from the theme Political Parties" Tn part he Said:-
 "The able and sagacious men who laid the foundation for our inStitu- tions unwittingly constructed a sys- tenn to the successful working of which political parties are essential. The tendency has been marked to the establishment and continuance of two great parties, which for the most part dominate the field of partisan Q ctivity.
 "A great party must have it's birth cal conviction. There are and prob ably always will be small parties which are in effect parties of protest, content to adhere tenaciously to some principle without hope of temporary success. In my opinion participation III the WOrk or one or the great part les offers an opportunity for service to the community greater than that afforded by political activity of them. The influence eXerted by men who are independent of party and vote solely with the purpose of supporting what they believe to be the best at the time is of great value to the com munity. The regrettable' feature of this non-relation to the great parties lsS that 1t withdraws from the active work men of weight and character who would be influential in the deter imitation of party action.
 Belief in party, identification with one of the great parties, an intense desire to have it true to it's best tradf- t1ons and to enhance it's public use- fitness is not inconsistent with inde- pendence of character.
 The true political leader must be a man not only of integrity but of sympathy and quick perception He should not wait to be driven by pub lie indignation. Able administration is party asset of high value. Above all, the true party leader must recog- nize that he is the leader and not the master of his party

As predicted. Wall Street shows no alarm over the recommendations in President Taft's special message upon the interstate commerce and antitrust law.

CLOTHES AND CHARACTER.

Long ago the wise woman learned that clothes often tell tales as to character. And of all the tale-bear- ing clothes none can equal the dress es woman wears about the house in the morning.
 Do you take pride in your home and are you willing to work yourself to always keep it it's shining best Then, let your clothes, which you wear in the morning when you are busy about the home duties, indicate these characteristics of yours most plainly. Today there is no excuse for a woman not to look neatly and tastefuliy dressed in the morning. There are so many materials for her to choose from which launder to per- lection and wear we'll, too And there are so many designs specially created for clothes for morning wear that she need have no difficulty suit- ing her own individual preference
 Two-piece dresses for morning wear are quite as much the vogue as the one-piece dress. Many of them. how ever, hare the princesse effect. though they consist of a separate waist and skirt, for the belt which is made of the same fabric is joined to the skirt, thus giving the costume ef- feet. The separate belt made of rib- bon or elastic betting in a contrast ing shade from the dress is not as good style as it used to be, though with the shirt-waist suit the black belt will never be wholly discarded. -Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Companion for January.

The law makes the returns of cor poratfons. under the net-income tax ot per cent. open to public inspection, and an effort is being made to prevent such public access to them. Secretary Nncveagh has the matter under con- sideraticn. but it is difficult to see how he can moderate the terms of the law. Corporations which now escape full local taxation through careful secrecy as to their taxable assets. are com pelled by the Federal law to bring them s'under the limelight of public ity''. and it is to be hoped, in the in- terest of the small taxpayers who now carry an undue part of the entire bur- den. that Secretary Macveagh will find himself unable to discover any loophole in the law through which the tax dodgers can escape publicity.

ASKED TOO MUCH.

The mother of little six-year-old Mary had told her number of times not to hitch her sled to passing sleighs, feeling that it was a danger ous practice. It was such a fascinat- ing sport, however, that Mary could not resist it, and one day her mother saw her go slzimming past the house behind a farmers 'sbobs"
 When she came in from play she was taken to task, her mother saying severely, Mary, haven't I told you that you must not hitch onto bobs Besides, you know it is against the law
 Mary tossed her head. .sOh," she said, sdon't talk to me about the law. It's all I can do to keep the Ten Comnlandments! From Woman's s Home Companion for January.

Washington, Jan. 11.-"Everybody is being pinched and something must be done." said Senator Crawford. Repub- hcan, South Dakota), to the United Press today regarding the advisability of action by Congress to relieve the people of the burden of the present high cost of living.
 Either prices must go down or wages must go up," continued the Sen- ator. Wages have changed little in the past ten years and prices for the necessaries of life have increased 50 per cent.
 "An example of the problem that confrorts thousands of fami- ies came to my attention a short time ago in the case of a young man in my state. He is a brakeman, very industrious and sober, and is paid $60 month. He has a. wife and two children. He told me that they were careful of every cent but with the strictest economy were barely able to make both ends meet. A while ago his wife was i'll and the charges of doctors and nurses piled up debt of $100. He has not been able to pay a dollar of it and says he never will be under existing condit ons. He has no chance to build up little fund to tide the family over a season of un-
 
 Society is not doing right by that man.
 Senator Crawford introduced reso- lution a few days ago calling upon the Department of Commerce and Labor to inform Congress as to increases in wages: of any changes in wholesale and retail prices in food products and manufacturers of cotton, wool, and hides in the past 10 years.
 T was not prompted in this action by a call from my state,'' he said. Most of the people of South Dakota are producers of food products and high prices are to their advantage. General humanitarian munitions. how ever, demanded something be done.''
 The Senator will endeavor to have his resolution passed today. Senator Elkins, (Republican, West Virginia,) has introduced resolution calling for an Investigation of high prices by a Senate committee. The resolution was referred to the committee on contingent expenses which will consider the cost of such an investigation before report ing the resolution back to the Senate.
 Two calls for investigation have been made by members of the House. How land, Republican, Ohio.) put in reso- 1ution delegating to a committee of the House the duty of learning the cause of the high prices and the remedy, if any. Hull, Democrat Tennesee,) is the author of resolution proposing an Investigation by a committee on rules. which Speaker Cannon controls Rowland has been given hearing by the committee but Hull has received no invitation to present his views. There is little chance of his resolution being recommended and Rowland is in doubt
 Altogether it does not appear that the controlling powers in Congress have any heated desire to go into the Investigations.

 At present 5000 laborers are strengthening the Nile Barrage at As- wan by twenty-three feet of solid ma- sorry along it's face. Thirty feet, too, will be the permanent additional height to the present altitude of this mighty structure whose fuondations in places descend ninety feet below the rivers bed and clutch the primary rock to give footing to the huge wall of Cyclopean masonry. At 'high Nile" now the water reaches back 40 miles into Nubia. With eighty-seven feet of depth to this immense reservoir the pressure will be such when the 18O gates are lifted that new navigable canals will be opened far and long to reclaim the desert to agriculture. A brief two years more will finish the construction of the dam. That is the time limit for the rescue of papyri. No new site is expected. Since 1897 this search has been pressed at Ox- yrhynchus, situated on the edge of the Libyan desert, 120 miles south of Cairo. This ancient capital, with it's vast library, is not nearly cleared, it consists of many mounds.
 So many fragments are now assem- bled of the New Sayings of Jesus" that it is believed there must have been another Gospel unedited record ing the utterances of Christ. For the chance of that alone, what efforts can be too great?

A FASHION HINT.

It's the fit that counts in under wear today, since Paris still clings to the slim silhouette. F'ullness and billowy frills seem gradually disap- bearing, and combination underwear is more in demand than ever. One of the most practical garments now in fashion is the com mbination corset cover and knickerbockers. It does away entirely with all superfluous material and makes but one thick ness at the waistline instead of two. Grace Margaret Gould in Woman s Home Companion for January.
