and their cause, be less strenuous. and
more tolerant Of one another. Make
allowances for differences in tempera-
ment and viewpoint. Do not lay claim to
all the virtue for yourself. or apportion
all the vice to the other fellow.
This was the tone Of Henry Clay late
in life. He had been the most strenuous
Of the strenuous in early and through
middle life. and had inspired thousands
of followers to his own passionate views
of things. But after he had cooled on

and his successes, and come to see the

who better understood the constitutional
question raised, that the tax would stand
a test in court. In that he and his
friends were mistaken.
Since that time not only has the tax
held its own in democratic councils. ou'
it has made inroads on republican coun-
ellis. 1t would not do to quote the vote
in Congress last year to show the
strength Of the tax among republicans
for many men voted to submit the mat
ter to the state legislatures who are 0p-
posed to the tax. They hope to see the
proposition fail there. But many strong
republicans approve the tax. and, II th'
states approve. will vote to levy 1t at as
early a day as its friends can prepare
the issue for congressional action.

much. Mr.. Bryan's hallmark-the real
thing-is not menacing. for the reason
that the voters have three times put the
seal Of their rejection on 1t. But on TIT
democratic side the income tax Is Cleve-
landism and on the republican side TAFT
ism, and that gives 1t strength.

Hail and Farewell.

Col Gordon's speech in the Senate will
long remain an interesting episode in the
history Of that body. II was like the
man-unusual and entertaining. 1t was
addressed to a sympathetic audience. 1t
would have captured a hostile one. The
words had the force of coming from the
heart. and. therefore. found their way
easily to other hearts. The speaker
had the satisfaction at the close OF
knowing that he had achieved his full
purpose All who had heard him felt
rewarded for their attention.
The Mississippi senator leaves behind
him sentiments o. good will for all Sec
tions of the country and all who live
therein. He is an American citizen, and
proud of the fact He loves the country,
and thinks everybody should. He de-
plores bitterness and unwarranted strife.
Stand up for what you think Is right.
but accept the result when legitimately
declared. and abide by it in the best
OF faith In this strain he spoke as a
man who had fought against the Union,
but had no feeling toward it now but
that of admiration and support.
Col. Gordon holds the tone of vet
eran who. after helping to bear the heat
and burden OF the day. surveys the scene
from the quiet and cool Of late after
noon. Men, even in great affairs, might,

Organism and the Income Tax.

When the South Carolina legislature
the other day, under the influence Of a
speech by Senator Bailey. voted for the
income tax proposition it was hailed as
a triumph of Organism. Here was a
point Of agreement between the Texas
senator and the peerless leader They
might differ about free raw materials.
and government ownership OF railroads,
and other things. but they stood side by
side as income takers. And that, 1t was
asserted. was important.
What Is the authority for charging up
the income tax to Mr.. Bryan? He did
not foist it upon the democracy. AS the
leader of his party he inherited that
ISSUE so to say, as he did the silver issue
and the free raw materials issue. All
three issues antedated his promotion to
chief command. The democratic party
was advocating free silver before he was
out of cap and jacket. and a tariff for
revenue only, with q free trade inter-
probation. long before he was born.
AS for the income tax, how often must
ii be cited that that was an item in the
Gorman-Wilson tariff bill, and with Mr..
Cleveland's approval? He did not with
hold his signature from that measure be-
cause OF the provision it contained for q
tax on incomes. What he was lighting
for was free raw materials, which, as q
good protectionist. Mr.. German would
not allow. Mr.. Cleveland not only wanted

SENATOR ALDRICH and ECONOMY.

From the indianapolis News.
II Senator Aldrich could save the coun.
try $3OOOOO.OOO a year by running the
government on business principles, why
doesn't he go ahead and do it? What's
to hinder?
From the Toledo Blade.
Senator Aldrich says he can run the
government for $SOO.OOO,OOO q year less
than 1t now costs. Why not take the job
away from Uncle Joe and give 1t to the
senator?
From the Columbus Evening Dispatch.
Senator Aldrich declares that he could
run the government at q saving of $780,
600 q year. But 1T would probably
cost the people just as much.
From the Baltimore Star.
When Aldrich says he can run the gov
eminent for $500. COZ, 900 less. Is 1t a threat
or promise?
From the Indianapolis Star.
II Mr.. Aldrich had devoted more pains
to saving that $500, 600 600 and less to dis.

Rows and the Strike.

Pictures of the Philadelphia strike bear
unpleasant testimony to the readiness
with which the youth of a large city
respond to the riot call and enlist on
the side of lawlessness. In practically
every photograph taken in the streets
OF that trouble-stricken town there are
numbers of young boys. perhaps from ten
to sixteen years of age, plainly enjoying
their prominence and participation in the
disorder. Some of them have been caught
by the camera in the act of placing OBJ
structions on the car tracks grinnins
with glee
Wednesday a sentence of seven years
was imposed by a court upon a boy who
had been arrested the day before. ar
raigned in the morning and tried and con-
victed by jury in the afternoon on q
charge of riotous conduct. Several boys
of about sixteen years were sentenced
to the state reformatory for various
grades of misconduct in the streets. Two
boys are dead as result of the rioting.
The men who called this strike are
really responsible for these tragedies Of
Juvenile life. They started chain Of
disorder that was certain to appeal d.
rectly to the youth of the city of a GER
tain class.
For every boy who has been detected
in some unlawful act there have doubtless
been hundreds who have participated in
the rioting. destroying property. assail-
ing car crews and policemen, obstructing
tracks and imperling life, without check.
These are the citizens of a few years
hence. 1t is distressing to think of their
ideals and. their concepts of law and
propriety of conduct in the years to
come.
The losses OF this strike are not to
he measured alone in money terms, as
reckoned by the number of cars de-
stroyed. or fares uncollected. or business
demoralized. The heaviest burden of it
falls upon the community in the form Of
the bitterness bred in the breasts of those
who. already viewing life from a sinister
standpoint OF criticism and suspicion, de-
velop into manhood hardened In their
false and demoralizins view Of social re-
lations and responsibilities.

The Japanese Press and America.

IL is to ne regretted that the Japanese
press is disturbed by recent dispatches
from America. which describe recru-
descence of anti-Japanese sentiment IN
this country. The statement is MADE
that not only is organized labor again
exercised against japanese immigration,
but that both the army and the navy
are beginning to express feeling against
Japan This, coupled with the attitude
of Secretary Knox toward the railroad
question in Manchuria, has caused some
very sharp newspaper comment In Toxic
on this country and the present admin
istration.
Probably the absurdest phase OF this
comment is that which undertakes to
explain what the Japanese newspapers
have hastily accepted as fact. The
administration, it is asserted, IS in such
endorsements over domestic affairs IT
is seeking to divert attention to foreign
affairs That is to say, it is willing to
offend Japan. and rouse national SEN
timent on that score, in an attempt to
hide its failures and deficiencies at home.
The difficulty with this is twofold. In
the first place. the administration mas
not failed. 1t is only a year old. and
has been moving in the open ever since
the day of its birth. 1t has support In
Congress, and strength with the people
Its policies are now under discussion.
and among their champions are many OF
the ablest men in public life. Some are
democrats The President has carried
himself so we'll, and enunciated purposes
of such breadth, that confidence in him
is not confined to his own party.
In the second place. why, If there were
political capital in jingoism, should the
administration pick Japan for such uses
MIR Taft has never spoken other than
friendly words for the mikado and his
people. He is the one eminent Ameri-
can in executive office who has visited
that country: and he brought away with
him sentiments of admiration for the
japanese and their institutions. Those
sentiments he still cherishes. Nothing
has occurred to change them.
The Japanese pens should not go of
half-inked. so to say. They should be on
their guard against both inventions and
exaggerations So far as America is con-
cerned. There is no domestic situation
here calling for as grave maneuver as
would be that of counting a conflict with
any foreign power. We are on good
terms with everybody, and hope to re-
main so. There is no war talk in any
responsible quarter in the United States.

The Philadelphia authorities, while care
full to order contractors to remove bricks
and other possible ammunition for the
rioters from the streets. seem to have
overlooked the equal risk of sending out
