Democratic national platform has favored the in
come tax Democrats by refusing to support the
amendment would go squarey against one of the
important plans of their platform.
II the next Legislature is Repubcan-as it
probsblsI will be-the amendment should be pass
ed because it has been put forward by President
Taft and the Republican administrsti@ at Wash
ington. The rejection of the amendment by Re-
publcans would be flying in the face of the ad-
minstration
But the amendment should be passed no mat
ter which party controls the Legislature because
il is right in principle. The income tax was levied
during the Civil War In times of great
emergency the government levied men
and money Under the Interpretation of
the Supreme Court, the decision being reached by
the vote Of one judge who held the balance Of
power, the supposed right of the government to
levy on the money Of the natiop by means of the
income tax was held to be invalid.
The income tax amendment to the constitution
would not mean that should have income
tax law. That fact should be understood plainly.
The issue is not whether TO have an in
come tax or not, but whether the government
Congress-shall have power to levy the tax when
such action is deemed necessary.

PARTY FEAITY

RE AYOR GAYNOR Of New York appointed a
LII judge the other day. He did not know
whether the judge was a Republican or a Demo-
crat 1t turned out that he was a Republican.
When asked about the matter, the mayor said that
he had worked along with Judge Russell for many
years for certain principles and ideals Of gov
ernment without the thought ever occurring to
him TO ask about political views.
All of which leads the Wilkesbarre Times.Leader
to remark that the party fetish has been show
up for just what it is, mere bugaboo to frghten
fools with
This is stating the extreme view of the case.
Many men will cling 10 their party through
thick and thin, look upon its declarations as gos-
pei law, happy in their belief that their party
can do no wrong, think that there should be a
fight between the parties with one man support
ing one party and the other another, regardless
of what the principles or conduct Of the party
may be. They are often governed by prejudice
and their surroundings. These men are not fools
by a long shot.
But it is observed that by an increasing num-
Der OF men party shackes are easily broken. They
have emancipated themselves from party slavery.
They are proud of that fact They support what
they believe to be the best ticket especially in
State county government They laugh at the
efforts Of party leaders to swing them into line.
This was plainly demonstrated during the last
election in Delaware.
1t is this sentiment that party leaders must re-

age party leader goes along in the same old lines.
He is the most conservative of the conservatives.
He takes his block book and gets the politics or
what he thinks is the politics of this man or that
man and with an owlish wisdom he sizes up" the
result. He reckons not on moral sentiment or
issues or anything of that kind. More and more
his methods are becoming obsolete
The Times-Leader referred particularly TO the
appointing Of judges. Mayor Gaynors position
OF course on this point is correct Judges should
not be partisans The cry everywhere is for the
removal of judges from political influences In

THE INCOME TAX.

~ HE General Assembly of Georgia will prob
III ably accept the income tax amendment 10 the
constitution. year ago the lower House passed
resolution favorng the amendment by an over
whelming vote. The Senate postponed action
saying that there was plenty OF time for con-
sderation Of the amendment Now the Senate
has fallen in line with the House.
With Georgia supporting the amendment eight
states will have declared themselves for il. The
amendment has been accepted by the Legislatures
OF Alabama, South Carolina, Maryland and Ken
tucky assembled in regular session, and by the
Legislatures OF Illinois, Oklahoma and Mississippi
IN emergency sessions, called especially to con-
slider other matters.
New Mexico and Arizona will soon come into
the union, and then thirty-six OF the forty-eight
states will have TO ratify the amendment in order
that il shall become operative
There is little prospect that the amendment will
be ratified, for the Legislatures Of eight states
have already either acted adversely or failed to
act when the measure was brought to their at
tention.
Rhode Island defeated the amendment by unan-
imous vote Of both branches of the Legislature.
Both houses of the Massachusetts Legislature
have also rejected IT, The Senate Of Virginia rati-
fed it, but the House of Delegates refused rati-
fcation. The New York Senate approved the
amendment but the lower house rejected il by a
close vote. The lower branch of the Louisiana
Legislature approved the amendment, but the
Senate lodged and the Legislature deadlocked
Jersey passed up the amendment TO the next ses-
sion.
None of the Western states but Illinois has
been heard from, but next winter they will con-
slider the subject.
Objection in the southern states, where heard
was based on the argument that the powers OF
the Federal government should not be extended
In the northern states the objection was on the
ground that those states would pay heavily IL such
a tax were levied and the west would he at an

The next Delaware. Legislature will consider
the ratification of the amendment Some predict
that as Delaware has always opposed amendments
10 the constitution il will be against the income
tax. The conservatism of thought here is pointed
out as indicating that the amendment will have
but few supporters in Delaware. But Maryland
is as conservative State as Delaware and Mary
land has ratified the amendment.
The amendment should in fairness be passed
by the next Delaware Legislature. If the Legsla
ture is Democratic il should be passed because tht

PROGRESS mn SuSSEX.

~ HE Demar News in general discussion OF
4 progress In the State says that plans are now
being laid to make Sussex the banner county
of the State. The officials are discussing how
this can best be DONE and within few years there
will be great improvement The roads are 10 be
bettered and drainage is to come The News
thinks that when all these improvements made
every farm in Delaware will be worth one-half
more than it is at present.
The Journal can hardly agree with the News
in this statement but there is no question that
the value of property would be much enhanced
with Improvements.
Speaking politically, the News adds that only by
continuation of the present state and county gov
ernment will these things be brought about In
other words the News believes that the Repub-
can party is the party of progress.
We do not presume it concerns the average
progressive citizen much which party makes the
improvenAents so that they are made, but it ap-
pears to hS the fact that the Democrats so far
as improvements are concerned have disappointed
many OF theig supporters
They have had control OF the county govern
ment of Kent and have caused complaint on the
part of many of their supporters because Of theil
lack of progress
In this county there is no likelihood that tht
Democrats will get control of our Levy Court

made in road work and in the management o
the affairs of the county in general should he

Editorial Opinion
In Midsummer.

IN Ml0NumWeTs

Well favored is that nation which in
midsummer endures only the natural
Affections OF dog days. Small ills look
formidable when Sirius rules. Days
are long and exhausting. Nights are
short and wearisome. Annoyances
which at other seasons are hardly no
ticed bulk large. To be nervous and
irritable is to manifest only the COM
mon temperament. To be eccentric,
RASH violent, is to be more than ordi-
narily under the weather.
In midsummer people who are too
much in earnest or who suppose that
others are make a mistake. Men say
and do strange things at this time
which those whose condition is still
normal should ignore Great heat is
upon the earth, and in the city It is
super-heat. If here and there one af-
flicted with a delusion of egotism or
a mania of despair cries out in man
ner to disturb the reposeful senses of
millions of the humdrum and the
drowsy. let it pass. The horrors and
calamities of midsummer all disap-
pear with the season.

WOODROW WILSON FOR GOVERNOR.

I 7 may be sign of changing times that presi-
i dents of universities are coming to the front
in political way. The other day President Taft
appointed President Hadey Of Yale to consider
plan for government oversight of the secur-
tiles of the big railroad companies, Federal over
sight being pet thing with Taft.
President Hadey's appointment is of course
excellent, for he has for years been authority
on economic Questions. And then Taft and Had
ley are both Yale men, and the blue fits in.
There is considerable talk of the Democrats
of New Jersey nominating President Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton University for governor.
Fortunate would New Jersey be if she had such
a governor President Wilson. He would be a
worthy successor Of Governor Fort, a governor
who has made remarkably good record
President Wilson has made a dignihed state
ment of his position. He is not sitting the
fence or letting his friends work in the dark He
will not be a candidate for the nomination but il
nominated, he would consider il TO be his duty
to accept. That is the frank way to speak.
II is improbable, however, that the New Jersey
Democrats will select him as their standard bear
er. Heis of far different type from what the
ordinary political leader would wish. Some years
ago when what termed practical men we're
the only ones thought to be competent for Office,
such man as Dr.. Wilson would not have been
seriously considered.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE closing
days Of the little revolution in Hon
duras melted by Gen. Jose valladares
on the island of Amapala are charac-
terized by some as an opera boufe air.
The valiant general who a week ago
was truculently threatening everything
American on the island has been
obliged to implore Captain Anderson
Of the United States gunboat York
town to protect him in his own home.
The naval officers, forgetting all that
has gone before, have placed guard
of American blueJackets around the
house of the rebellious leader.
This information came 10 the state
department from United States Min
lister McCreery at Tegucigalpa, the
Honduran capital, who also confirms
the press reports that Valladares has
offered to surrender. President Davila
has directed Valladares to turn over
the command of affairs at Amapala.
Valladares then will leave the country
in exile.
The rebellion Is now completely at
an end. according to McCreery, $50 of
Valladares' followers having laid down
their arms last Saturday. The town
of Amapala is quiet and is well pro-
tected by foreign sailors.
