Uncle Joe. defended Aldrich, wheedled
the President. and in the end played the
deuce. We were bound to lose as soon
as the people got q chance at us"
Says the regular to the insurgent:
We? l like your gall. Speak for your
own side. You are no republican, and
haven't been one since you allied your
self with the democrats against the House
organization. Never were republican
prospects brighter than when the Sixty
first Congress met in extra session. Its
leader was in the White House, it con-
trolled both houses of Congress. and it
had a mandate from the people to do
business on lines laid down. Mr.. Can
non was easily the choice for Speaker,
and was chosen. The rules presented
were of republican origin. and had had
nearly twenty years of enforcement. And
the Payne bill was drawn strictly on
protection principles.
But what did you fellows do? Support
your party? Abide by the decision of
the majority? On the contrary, you went
over to the democrats. fell in behind
Champ Clark. and followed him right
along. AT the regular session you played
the same game you had played at the
extra session. You still gave aid and
comfort to the enemy. You gave all the
countenance You could both by your
speeches and your votes to the charge

on that subject. If Champ Clark in the

The democratic hope for 1912 lies in
bringing about just such a meeting as is
here described. If the republicans are
defeated next November. each faction of
the party will charge the other with the
responsibility, and the ordinations and
recrminations that will follow may con-

The CORPORATION Tax.

The New York Herald advises the reneal
OF the corporation tax. 1t refers to its
unpopularity among business men, and to
the fact that its constitutionality is to be
questioned In court. Why not settle the
matter by taking the tax out of the way?
1t will be remembered that the Gorman-
Wilson law carried an income tax, and
that the revenue-producing ability of the
measure was calculated in part on an es-
tmated yield from that source. If Mr.
German had known that the tax would
not stand the test In court he would have
made other arrangements for raising the
amount of revenue set opposite that item.
The tax failed, and that failure added to
the insufficiency of the new law Had
the democrats remained in power they
would have been obliged to strengthen
the new law by some provision to take
the place of the income tax.
So now. The corporation tax enters into
the republican calculation for raising sui
hcient money for the support of the gov
eminent 1t is an important item of the
Payne law Mr.. Aldrich tried to persuade
his party friends that the law would be
strong enough without it, but the con-
trary opinion prevailed. If the Supreme
Court decides against the tax and IL
becomes imperative, the republicans if
they remain In power. will be obliged to
put something In its place. Their
revenue scheme will require it, A repeal
of the tax, therefore. is out of the uues-
ton until such 4 time as the amount of
revenue allotted to it can be raised by
some other means.
Here comes in the income tax PROPOSE
ton. Business men may not like that
tax any better than the corporation tax
As matter of fact they do not like
either. But the income tax has a strong
hold on the politicians aud the rank and
file Of the voters. Mr.. Taft at the head
or the republican party favors it, Mr.
Bryan practically at the head of the
democratic party favors it, while Mr..
Hearst, the leading independent of the
country, has long been an advocate
The case stands thus: Being a make
shift. the corporation tax has no particu-
lar strength in any quarter, while the
income tax has strength in many quarters
The main object of the latter's friends
Is 10 substitute it for the former at as
early day possible. They are hop
ing to win the fight before the state
legislatures, and if they do they will
move as soon as possible to make the in
come tax a permanent feature of our
ture for filling up a deficiency in the
Treasury Department. If that tax is
levied it will be levied to stay.

The Foundered Kentucky.

Wireless telegraphy has just prevented
another serious disaster at sea, distress
call sent by the mysterious ethcric waves
from the steamer Kentucky summoning
HELM just in time to prevent crew of
forty-six men from being overwhelmed.
Had it not been for the application of
modern science the Kentucky would
doubtless have joined the list of the miss
ing ships and swelled the record of the
seas mysteries.
While the public interest i'll this case
is at present chiefly concentrated on the
demonstration of wireless efficiency in
the saving of life, the fate of the Ken
lucky presents far more serious aspect
than the narrow escape of her crew from
death The ship was obviously unfit for
sea service She was built about thirteen
years ago, not a long time in compari-
son with many vessels that are now run
ming, but she was not intended for heavy
sea work, being used originally on the
run between Boston and Bath, Me. Later
she ran between the Florida coast and
the Bahamas, and for a time was in
service on the great lakes, after which
she was transferred to Long Island
sound runs. and was sold by the COM
pany using her for that purpose to the
Alaska-Pacfic line, and was on her way
to Pacific waters around the Horn when
she foundered.
The vessel leaked so badly on the way
from New York south that she put in
at Newport News with sixteen inches of
water in her hold. After repairs were
made she was certified as seaworthy by
the inspectors of the United States gov
ernment and the Lloyd's insurance in
terests. With this certificate she pro-
ceeded south, but began leaking immedi-
ately afterward, and made water so
rapidly that she was unable to remain
afioat and hence the call for assistance.

The Danbury Hat Case.

The legal responsibilities and limitations
of organized labor are in a process of
definition. There is now pending before
the United States Supreme Court a case
| which involves the right of the officers
of national labor organization to main
tain boycott black list against speci-
fed manufacturer and his goods. the de-
PENDANTS standing under sentence of inn
prisonment for contempt of a lower
court in persistins in publishing the boy
colt list after being enjoined to refrain.
Another phase of the same subject is
brought to the point of decision in the
now famous Danbury hat strike case,
which has been pending for several years
in the United States courts. In this in
stance hat manufacturer sued for dam
ages to compensate him for the losses
suffered by him in his business in con-
sequence of a boycott instituted against
his products by union to which belong
ed strikers who had been his employees
He named about 200 offenders. The case
has passed through many changes in an
effort to secure definition of jurisdic-
ton and of the issues involved. Yester-
day the first full trial before the court Of
first instance came to an end with ver-
dict for the plaintiff directed by tho
court. the jury finding that the plaintiff
had been damaged to the extent of $74,-
600, which, under the Sherman antitrust
act, permits the mulcting of the defend
ants in sum three times as large, or
$222, co.,
or course not until the Supreme Court
of the United States has finally passed
upon this case will the test of the civil
liability of, the unions for boycott dam
ages to business be completed. 1t is to
be hoped that the further proceedings
the movements in this case up to the
present point. Yet with the greatest
haste permissible it will be two years at
the least before a ruling by the Supreme
Court las been secured.
The liability of the union leaders for
the maintenance Of black list of "un-
fair manufacturers will probably be de-
fined by the highest court in the con-
tempt case we'll in advance of its ruling
on the civil liability Of the union and its
members. OF the two cases, that in
voiving the question of civil liability is
the more important inasmuch as the de-
PENDANTS in the Danbury hat case are the
Individual members of the union, whose
legal accountably for the actions of the
organization has never yet been definitely
determined. IT the verdict in the Dan
bury hat case is sustained by the highest
court responsibility for strike violence
and for boycott procedure will rest not
merely upon the delegated officers of
the union, but upon each member.

Indiana Insurgents and Regulars.

Has Indiana given reply to much

get together for this years campaign,
and will they do so"
The seat in the Senate occupied by Mr..
Beveridge is a prize to be contended for
in that state. Mr.. Beveridge was an in
surgent in the tariff controversy. oppos-
ing Mr.. Aldrich at many points. and
finally voting against the Payne bill. He
voiced the sentiments of his people as
he understood them, and could not have
erred in interpreting them, because he

been organized by his friends, and

brethren were puzzled. In one county
the platform committee halted before the
proposition to indorse both the senator
and the President Could that be done
consistently? Had not the senator fought
and the President supported the tariff
bill? The President stood committed to
the opinion that the Payne law, while not
entirely to his liking. was yet upon the
whole. the best tariff law ever enacted.
The senator, on the other hand, was
making no apologies, and would make
none during the campaign. for having
opposed and denounced the law.
But. after a warm debate. both the
senator and the President were Endorsed,
and in that county union between the
Bevcridgeites and the Taftites has been
effected. Elsewhere similar action was
taken, and the work of carrying the state

patronage will be dispensed by him. And,
as the Hoosiers are human folk, that is

arc concerned, We see insurgents and reg

and Mr.. Beveridge have clasped hands.

The Seed Catalogue.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Dirty snow is still piled high in city
yards; the walks are CLASSY with ice bear
ing here and there pools of water on its
surface The trees are leafless and such
evergreen shrubs as are to be seen are
drab and unattractive as the skies above
them. Furnaces are still signing in city
cellars and the robin has not made his
appearance-even in Mont Clare-but, in
spite Of all these things, there are signs
that spring will yet come, and the chief
est of these is the appearance OF seed
catalogues. We may despair, at the lin
gering of winter, that the vernal season
may not come. Verdure may be back
ward. the birds may delay their appear
ance, the ground hog may retire into his
hole. we may have every reason to think
that a new glacial epoch is going to set
In, but when all other signs fail the mail
