Editorial Opinion
The Inheritance Tax.

PittsbuTg Gazette-Times.
In these times of swollen fortunes
II is possible for men to accumulate
enormous possessions and enjoy the
pleasures there of without carrying a
fair share of the tax burden. Real
estate cannot escape and certain other
forms of property pay their lawful
portion. but il Is practicable for the
owner of millions to receive their
earnings throughout his life without
contributing dil ectly either to the
state or local revenues, and then 10
hand his fortune down to somebody
else intact and untaxed. Meanwhile
such man has the benefits Of peace
and order. OF safety and protection.
and of all that civilized government
implies. OF course. instances of COM
plete tax evasion are rare, and pos
sibly in themselves not of sufficient
importance TO attack by legislation,
but the practice OF lodging in part is
scandalously common and no laws
have yet been devised that will en-
tirely overcome Il. But such states
as have, the direct inheritance tar
eventually make every man or woman
OF means settle In some measure,
since when estates are transferred
after death there can be no evasion,
and just to the extent that revenues
are thus derived may the general tax
burden be lightened. Besides, a di-
rect Inheritance tax has a tendency
to encourage the apportionment Of
unusually large estates or fortunes
here again. to be sure, to escape the
/ tax gatherer--and such a division
works for the general good.

MASONIC HOME.

HE spirit of doing good to others, of looking
\ after the unfortunate, is becoming more and
more in evidence every day.
The Masonic fraternity Of the State purposes
having home to care for orphans and indigents
and II will be another institution Of which the
State may be proud. The plans have not yet
been completed but an organization so strong as
the Masons should have no difficulty in securing
a home
Not long ago the Red Men opened fine home
at Newark where they are doing a noble work
There are number of institutions of this kind
in the State, some under the direction of reIig-
ous bodies and-others in charge of various or
ganizafions. All such homes are an exemplihca-
ion of practical charity and nothing more COM
mandatory OF them than this could be said

ROOSEVELT AS AN EDITOR.

OLONEL ROOSEVELT as a newspaper writer
- is no less interesting to some than he is
as a statesman. The Colonel has settled down
a regular worker going to his sanctum and
attending to his own affairs Few workers of the
kind ride TO Offices in big automobiles and none
has awaiting him a posse of scrbes anxious
TO interview the editor all possible questions.
But the Colonel is becoming wise to the ways
of the vocation. Why should he tell his stories
to his fellow workers and let them scoop" him
when The Outlook has him on its staff and wants
his views for its columns?
The other day there was a great mystery in
New York. The Colonel told the interviewing
scribes that something going to happen and
that made the groundwork for big mystery
story in the New York evening journals. The mys-
terry prove to be that the Colonel was to take
a flying trip TO the coal regions to study the life
of miner at first hand. Colonel Roosevelt had
risen to the Special commissioner" stage, special
investigator. But he had a good time in the coal
regions, was dined and wined with grape juice
cocktails, not the Fairbanks cocktails The fact
that such a drink was served ought TO be a big
boom for grape juice and we are reminded that
some grape juice of the best quality is made in
Delaware.
Thinking of Colonel Roosevelt why would it not
be a good plan to have him visit Delaware? 1t has
been years since Colonel Roosevelt was seen in
Delaware for any length of time. Delaware, we
are sure, would like to have more than a glimpse
cf him. An effort might be made TO get him here
when we have our big blow out" over the battle
ship Delaware and the fremen. And by that time
the Seidlinger airship might be ready to do some
marvellous Stunts" by crcrng the battleship
Why not make the attempt TO get the Colonel
here and to let him know that Delaware is on the
map? With the Colonel here we should have a
bully" time. The militia could turn out, the gov
ernor and his staff could be on hand and we
could make the occasion a notable one for Della
ware.

CANDIDATES AND PUBLICITY.

\ T is becoming more and more practice for
\ candidates for public Office to use the news
papers, regardless OF the politics of the
newspapers in making their announcement In
Delaware during the last few years the politicians
have perceived the value of the publicity through
the newspapers BY making their announcements
in this manner the candidates are able to attract
the attention of all voters 1t is expecting too
much of candidate that he shall see all the voters
of district personally TO state his position, but
II is very easy for him to reach them through
the newspapers. BY using the public press the
candidate gets in touch with those whom he might
overlook were he to attempt to make personal
canvass OF to gain the interest of voters by means
OF circulars Personal letters and circulars, how
ever often assist the candidate.
In many cities candidates use the newspapers
freely, and newspaper space is always open to
them. Several years ago a candidate practically
unknown to the politicians of Pittsburg made his
canvass through the newspapers. He told the
voters who he was and what claims he thought he
had on the place he sought To the surprise OF
the old time politicians this candidate who con

CONVENTION OF MUNICIPALITIES.

q ITY COUNCILMAN DUROSS, we think was
- right in opposing the resolution to the effect
that all the members of Council who could
conveniently attend should have their expenses
paid 10 the convention OF the American League
of Municipalities at ST. Paul Should all the coun-
cilmen attend the expense to the city would be
considerable, and at this time the city has no
money to be thrown away. The trip, if all the
members attended, would undoubtedly be regard
ed as a junket.
The Journal tries to be fair in these matters,
and we think that Council should be represented
at conventions of this character. At them the best
thought relating TO municipal problems finds ex-
preston. We have not noticed that council
men have particularly prohted by their trips,
judging by their reports after returning, but we
have hopes
Council could have appointed a committee of
several members with alterpates.
1t is highly probable that the practical effect
will be the same for as McMullin said the chances
are that but a small number will attend. How
ever, ,tbat may be- the position OF Mr. duRoss il
nc Opposed sending the entire council, is right.

VICTORY FOR DECENT COURTS.

HAT is good news from Tennessee. The
n power of the Independent voter was shown
even in Tennessee. The candidates Of the Patter-
son Democratic machine for judges we're defeat
ed by an overwhelming majority of 100000 The
Republicans who are stronger in Tennessee than
most folk imagine, declined to put up candidates
for the bench but indorsed the nominees of the
Independent Democrats and an overwhelming vic
tory for the fusion ticket followed.
The issue in Tennessee rose above that Of mere
partisanshp. Patterson, it will be recalled, in-
suited the Supreme Court of the State by releasing
the murderer OF ex-senator Carmack after the
court had rendered a decision refusing 20 do So.
That Immediately led to a bitter war of the fac
tions.
Patterson has an unenviable record for par
doning criminals, and he evidently desired to make
the courts of the State subservient to partisan
interests Patterson bench would have been
a deplorabe blow TO justice in the southern state.
The voters saw the real issue at once. Had the Re-
publicans nominated a ticket the Patterson can
didates would probably have won. But the victory
of the Independents was victory for decency

Follow this advice.

Quaker Scotch Oats is the best Of all
foods; it Is also the cheapest. When
such men as Prof. Fisherof Yale Univer-
sity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LII. D.-F.R.S. of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers of
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
