Mr. Craven said this morning:

this: Shall We have a government

there is divine right in existence, it is the
right of the father to protect and provide for
his family. There is no natural reason why
such a family should not be>of the Roose-
veltian proportions as there is plenty of food
in the world for all if the system of distribu-
ton were proper, but for men to permit sys-
tenn that reduces them to such perjury that
babies must work and little boys and girls be
deprived of schooling and playtime is a most
outrageous insult to human intelligence. We
have about approached the period In Amerl-
ca when every member of the family must
slave in order for it to exist, from the wife
who takes in sewing or washing, chops cotton
or hoes in the field, the young daughter who
is sent out to hunt job which may eventuate
in her loss of health or degradation, ''the boy
who never had chance" down to the baby
who picks out basting- threads in the sweat
shop garment, and an English paper which
is fighting the budget, with strange lack of
acumen, publishes letters advocating child
slavery as way family may obtain "ade-
quate FOOD. But it wouldn't tax the Gun
earned increment or the brewery. The stress
in England ought to be an OBJ lesson for
ourselves. The small children earning their
"shilling week" on the farms, in the fac
tories or anywhere else will produce such a
citizenry as is close brother to the OK, or
worse state of actual degeneracy

and commercial organizations for a conference
to be held in Chicago on January 18th, for
the purpose of fighting this clause. This
else tax, as has been pointed out before, is
measure of very doubtful wisdom in that this
corporation tax, levied direct by the Federal
Government, is equivalent to a Federal license
to do business. It will also prove a veritable
thumbscrew with which to force corporations
to contribute to the campaign fund of the Re
publican party and thus purchase immunity
from prosecution for the violation of anti
trust laws, etc. IF there be any feature of
value about the tax it is that of publicity; If
there be any feature about it that is honest it
is that of publicity; therefore, the reason that
the publicity clause is to be fought is readily
apparent. Will Congress yield in this to the
desires of the manufacturing interests?
Very likely it WILL as Congress never fails to
give the manufacturer everything he wants.

that the Prince should
grope about in his bewildered land and find
nothing better upon which to expend his zeal
than the yellow silk shirt and the queue when
there is so much else it would seem that he
might do for the benefit of his people, Evi-

Confucius at one fell swoop.
The races which initiate are never the races
which are capable of making any real
progress The japanese, for all their veneer
of Western civilization and their rodent-like
cleverness, are only Mongolians after all. 1t
is true that there has been some denial Of
this and some effort to connect them with the
Semitic tribes, but this needs much more
weighty proof than it's advocates have yet
been able to call to their aid in support of the
contention. The Africans, for all their "hard-
biled'' shirts, slick-hair and ape-like follow

Taft's style is worthy of consideration as one
of the 'how-not to do it,. What he means
is that the average wage Garner is paying more
for victuals and getting no more for his work;
and he very slzillfully left out 'those classes
in the community whose yearly compensa-

Of an idea that there is hardship and suffering
upon the ma ority of the American people, or
if he knows, he is too selfish and phlegmatic
