Income Tax Obstacles.

An objection i~nterposed by Governor
Hughes in his message to the legis.a-
ture of New York to the ratification of
the income tax amendment submitted
by congress because it does not specif-
ically prohibit the levying of an income
tax upon the holders of state or mu-
nicipal bonds is not being hailed gen
orally as much of a setback to the
at the outset that New York would be
unlikely to ratify the constitutional
amendment authorizing an income tax
for the support Of the federal govern
ment. In fact, New England and east
ern states were counted against it from
the first, so that all Governor Hughes
has done has been simply to furnish a
plausible excuse for those states which
would ordinarily withhold their ap-
prevail.
The point made in behalf Of tax i'm
munity for state and municipal bonds
rests on the contention that the federal
government should o be given power
to destroy by taxation the credit and
borrowing abilities of Independent gov
ernmental agencies, and that to do so
would be a violation of states rights
going to the very core of state auton-
omy. The duty of upholding the
states rights doctrine would naturally
appeal much more strongly to the
southern states rather than the north
ern states, which have not been dis
posed to become panicky from any
alarm about Capitalization. 1t will
take the Publications of t~hirty-six states
to make effective a sixteenth amend
ment to the constitution, and the fact
that New York holds back presents no
insuperable obstacle. Whether con-
gress, once invested with this power,
should levy an income tax as an int
grail part of our revenue system or re-
serve 1t for emergency is
quite a different question.

Counsel for His Defense

In connection with the latest phase
of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation
concerning the debate over the right
of Mr.. Pinchot to be represented by
counsel before the congressional com
mittee, reference has beer made to the
constitutional guarantee. But that
stipulation is specifically with regard
to "all criminal prosecutions" in
which circumstances the accused shall
enjoy the right-to have the assistance
of counsel for his defense"
The public lands Investigation is
not a criminal trial, but, instead, an
earnest effort on the part of the gov
eminent to discover the full facts con
corning the administration of interests
involved in departmental service.
None Of the parties to the controversy
has thus far shown any disability to
express himself in the matter Of fact
or argument, and the need for pro-
fessional lawyers on either side to in
terpret the procedure or to interpolate
legal technicalities is not at this writ
ing apparent.
This investigation is no occasion for
red tape. Intrusion of expert lawyers
with their devious ways of manipulat-
ing the issue cannot but give rise to
the impression that the Investigating
committee is not fully competent to do
the business. What is wanted is a clear
and complete exposition of all the cir
cumstances, regardless of legal techni-
c%alities or ordinary court procedure,
and regardless of the person or persons
on whom any disclosures may reflect.

roll Hill, Official cbronicler Of the

ening history Of the truly notable
achievements by New Englanders in
this form of exploration.
Il is just like New England to be
staid and sober in even so alluring a
field Of endeavor as aerial experiment.
And it is the mark which distinguishes
it from the impulsive and dashing
west. When the modern aviator at
Los Angeles breaks a record, all man
kind holds its breath a moment, then
expends IL in one great cheer. When
the airship dashes to earth, II is at
least a grand smash, and again the
worlds eyes fash over the spectacular
element. But New England takes the
forsaken balloon to it's bosom, cod
dies it, goes aloft with it in compare
tive sanity and safety, having its fun
in so comfortable and quiet an old
fashioned way hat no one outside it's
borders knows anything about it till a
Boston almanac rounds up the annual
record Of ascents, so rapidly getting to
surpass the local precipitations.

Stability in Flight.

While all the world reads breath
lessly of the daily doings of iimsy
flying machines at reckless heights
over Los Angeles, it is somewhat rest
full to review the aerial explorations
of the American people on the other
coast of the continent. The daring
west may cultivate its devotees to the
exploits OF the a~eroplane, but let it not
be supposed that the spirit of loftiness
is neglected in our staid old hamlets.
New England, too, feels its wings, but,
soaring, insists on stability.
Not for the descendants of the Pill
grim fathers is the bit of gauze which
falls to earth when the motor stops;

able balloon, floating majestically owe

Permanent Embassy Houses.

The officers Of the American EN-
bassy association, who have been
making a tour of the central west to
propagate the purpose Of their or
ganization, which is to start out the
government on a policy of building
permanent embassy houses for our
diplomatic representatives to foreign
governments declare themselves to be
happily disappointed in finding nc
strenuous opposition.
A ~variegated assortment of argu.
ments has been presented to support
the demand that the United States do
as other great powers have done or
are doing by establishing permanent
quarters as the personal and official
seats of our ambassadors and ministers
abroad. But to us the subject appeals
most forcibly as a plain business propo-
sition. If the government builds en-
bassy houses at the principal European
capitals it will make them more or less
equally ~pretentious according to the
rank of the. embassy, and reduce, if not
completely abolish, the present dis
parity between these positions as main
tanned by our diplomatic officers out
of the allowance made them, generally
supplemented from their own private
fortunes.
The qualifications demanded of our
ambassadors should be substantially
the same for all, granted, of course,
that the most experienced and best
equipped should be sent to the most
important posts. While any new de-
parture in this direction must of neces-
sity be of slow progress, it strikes us
that it would be a sound business
proposition to put all our diplomatic
establishments abroad on a permanent
foundation, and fix their relationship
to one another and to the foreign gov
ernments more in conformity with the
actual facts.

THE SUM OF LIVING.
Boston TRANSCRIPT.

Boston Transcript.
If you have a friend worth loving,
Love. Yes, and let him know
That YOU love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
OF g friend-till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you,
sung by any child of song,
Praise It. DO not let the singer
Walt deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the Joy you may impart?
II you hear a prayer that moves you
By Its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of two or three" in prayer?
II you see the hot tears falling
From a brothers weeping eyes,
Share them; and by kindly sharing
own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
II q silYery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share IL. It's the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy a place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which all honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
BY a friendly, helping hand,
Say 30, Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land,
Should q brother workman dear
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds or kindness,
All enriching as you 60
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver.
He viii make each seed to grow.
SO. until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack a friend.

Worth While News.

And now comes another qualitative
analyst and tape-measuring statistician
who has been classifying the news in
what he calls one OF the best New York
daily papers and measuring II up to see
how far It conforms to a ready-made
standard. After comparing the results
Of HIS compilation covering a period of
three months, the schedule is made
public in an article in The Independent
to inform us that, Of 1O,O29 news items
tabulated as on a perforating machine,
22.S per cent we're 'demoralizing,'
1913 per cent "unwholesome,' 21.2 per
cent trivial" and 39.z per cent worth
while" To emphasize the striking
features Of this distribution the per.
centages are also represented graph
ically in black lines of\varying lengths
to indicate the comparative represen-
tation Of different kinds OF news, which
is pronounced worth while" as con-
trasted with that which is "demoraliz-
ing" unwholesome" or trivial"
Presumably the author of this study
has thoroughly convinced himself that
he has made out an incontrovertible
exhibit and that the mere PRONUNCIATION
of his findings should, II it does not,
produce a complete revolution in the
contents of our daily newspapers. II
such is the case, however, we have no
doubt he is doomed to grievous disap-
pointment, and that few, If any, will be
found to accept his dictum as to what
is, or is not, worth while of the vari-
egated pabulum which the newspaper
readers.
\ 1t is the human element that judges
whether a particular piece of news or
information is interesting or uninter-
esting, instructive or uni%nstructive, de
moralizing or wholesome. What af-
fects n person one way often affects
another quite the opposite way. The
chronicle of a crime may be ~nauseating
to some, 1t may stimulate imitation in
others, but on the average man it has
a repressive effect, and the certainty
that the penalty Of newspaper publicity
and opprobrium will be imposed, even
though the penalty of the law be
evaded, is the most potent deterrent
of crime we have. Yet we are told in
the article referred to that all items
about crime, disasters or catastrophes
have been put under the ban as de
moralizing'' or "~unwholesome."
Naturally, the author winds up the
article with a protest against the low
standard of American newspapers,
which he regards only as a manifesto
ton of the frenzy for wealth accumula-
ton, and an appeal for some plutocrat,
who has confessed his difficulty to find
ways to spend his surplus wisely, to
endow a great daily that a hold its
head high among all the worlds
press" Make room, therefore, for the
subsidized newspaper with space
reserved exclusively for news items
that are worth WHILE according to
this gauge, and which will be troubled
only to find people who think it worth
while to read them.

In distributing New Years dividend
gifts to his many employees, one of Chi
cago's merchant princes took occasion
to tell the men how to save from their
earnings, as the initial step along the
road to success. The homily contained
such simple details as Walk to the
store for exercise and to a v carfare,"
IF you smoke, smoke the cheap cigars
coarsely made of real tobacco" His
rigid rule, involving minute economies,
on which he rose to fortune, was the
invariable saving of one-fourth of his
weekly earnings.
All this has a familiar sound, for
nearly every successful American start
ing from lowly employment has testi-
fled to the truth Of some such creed.
For ones self to feel the pinch of de-
privation is pointed out as the means Of
acquiring the materials for foundation
laying of fortune, and 1t might be
and personal attention 10 details of the
employers interests might be cited as
another essential. Yet of all who hear
the counsel, but few respond, for it is
so much easier to temporize with the
primrose path than to set forth with
fortitude and determination along the
hard road that stretches uninvitingly
so far before it turns from simplicity
into the open country of comfort and
ease.

The American public, knowing Prof.
Henry vanDyke chiefly for his STORY
of the Other Wise Man" and other
books, had forgotten that he was for
years pastor of the famous Brick Pres
byterian church in New York. till re-
minded by the recent announcement
that he had resumed that pulpit, the
occasion being the death of DR., Will
liam r. Richards, n of the clearest
thinkers and most pleasing and en-
tightening pulpit orators of the day.
DR.. Richards was DR.. vanDyke's choice
for the place, as Dr.. Maltbie Babcock
had been before him, an indication
that the Brick church has come to look
upon the Princeton literary nan as a
godfather in pulpit succession. In so
large and important a congregation DIR.
vanDyke will be kept too busy to do
much other work, and for his value to
the world at large it is to be hoped that
he soon again will fix upon his success
sor, for a man who can preach so
w~holesomely and effectually through
his books cannot be spared to the de-
tails of a small and limited field.
