THE QUESTION OF VACATIONS.

Mr.. Taft is not fulfilment of the old
proverbs Train up child In the way
he should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from It." His father,
a very distinguished man in his day,
and hard working lawyer, thought
that two weeks was ample vacation
time during the entire year. and when
j came TO the bar he suggested that il
stayed at home during the summer
months l would make good deal more
money than If | went away" 1t was
good deal harder to make money in
Judge Alphonso Taft's day than it is
now, and, besides, he never had the
advantages his son possesses, who now

one is subjected during the autumn

made liberal allowance. but we wish
he had said whether 1t should be two
months or three months. whether 2

THE PROFESSIONAL sOUTHERNER'
Harris Dickson, of Mississippi, has

THE PROFESSIONAL SoUIHEHN ckt'
Harris Dickson, of Mississippi, has
drawn true picture ire Everybo S
Magazine of "the professional South
erner," a type more familiar to South
ern men living in the North than TO
those at home New York is full OF
such men, Boston has some, and there
are other cities where you can meet
these theatrical patriots. Judge Dick
son has this to say about the type:
with such indeinable standards OF
quality, of course there are many
commercials (of Southern geneltmen)'
A most amusing imitation is one that
often passes for the typical Southerner
in New York. This satchel-mouthed
braggart infests the cafes and demands
attention by abusing the waiter for
offending his delicate sense of honor.
I hate q niger, subj he loudly pro-
claims-which is sentiment that one
never hears from those to the manner
born He haunts the theatres and pa
rades the streets, since 1T Is poor run
to practice his gentility in private
This kind of fellow has gained his
entire knowledge of the South by go
ing on Sunday excursion to Baltl'
more. In beer garden he heard the
band play Dixie The crowd applaud
ed and somebody put the idea into his
head that Southern gentlemen We're
the real thing Upon his return to
New York he set up in business as a
professional Southerner-and became
| prevalent He wears a wide black hat,
mounts the table and yells whenever
| the band plays a Southern melody.
Such a pretentlous caricature would
| be harmless enough but for the ridi-
Guile he brings upon the South. Unfor-
| tunately, popular authors seem to &C
cept him at face value and exploit
him in novels or plays where a South
| erner' Is necessary part of the stage
| machinery.
There are genuine Southern gentle
men in New York, to be sure--thous-
ands of them. Their manners are not
spectacular; they do not proclaim
themselves so as to be heard from the
Battery to the Bronx. Many have lived
| in the city so long that their localisms
have been lost. They pass quietly II

All Of which is true. There are
many people who might be brought tc
bar upon this Indictment. Some who
have not been so far South as New
Jersey discover that they may attrac
attention by assuming to be Southern
ers, and they begin to imagine tina
they are Southerners. and they play
the game for all 1t is worth. Many

DEMOCRACY AND THE INCOME


Georgia's ratification of the income
tax amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States has been justified by
some on tho ground that the last
platform Of the Democratic party in
cluded an income tax plank. The
Norfolk Landmark ably refutes such
an argument, proving clearly that the
demand its population by all Demo-
cratic States. 1t says:
This amendment is not in Demo
cratic shape. It's submission by the
party which has never been in ia
vor of it is queer in the first place.
1t should never be accepted by a Dem
ocratic State while it contains the
Joker inserted by Mr.. Aldrich's Senate
committee. Under that Joker clause.
If 1t means what 1t says, the Federal
Government could tax the income
from State and city bonds. Tho abil-
ity to see and keep out Of Republican
traps is one of the first essentials OF
successful Democracy, and the one in
I which, of late years, it has been most
| lacking"
When the Democratic party in
serted the income tax plank in its
platform, 1t had no specifically word
ed amendment in mind. The amend
ment proposed now was not In ex-
istencc when that plank was written
| There never has been a Democratic
convention, and we hope there never
will be one, that would approve in Its
platform the amendment as II is now
worded.
The danger in the amendment IS II
now stands Is clear. The clause from
whatever source derived" would per-
NIT the taxation of the income from
State and city bonds; and such pow
er as that in the hands Of the Fed
eral Government would give 1t the
right to cripple and make subordinate
the States.
Had this amendment been present

into the platform. There would have

ROANoKE'S BLOW AT THE FEE
SYSTEM.

The Finance Committee OF the city
of Roanoke on Friday night decided to
recommend to the Council reduction
in the fees of the City Tax Collector
amounting to one-fourth of one per
cent This was in response to the de-
mand of the citizens that there should
be a reduction in the compensation
received by that officer. The action of
the committee strikes directly at the
fee system, under which so many
abuses have grown up all over the
State The City Council will show
great wisdom in UNFOLDING the COM
mittee's action, as it will doubtless do.
The fee system is doomed to go,
soon or late, and sentiment against
1t Is increasing daily. What has been
done in Roanoke Will be done in other
places, and we look confidently to the
day when the fee system In this State
will have been abolished in its entirety,
and salary system substituted in its
stead The fee system is undemocratic
and uneconomical, and 1t must go.
