Mr.. Henry Wade Rogers, dean of
the Yale Law School, in an address to
the Missouri Bar association on the
income tax amendment to the federal
constitution took issue with Governor
Hughes on the meaning of the clause
from whatever source derived and
cited the opinion of Senator Root
that the supreme court would not con-
strue the words as comforting the
authority on congress to tax state in
strumentalities. The weight of opinion
In the legal profession is said to be
against the Hughes view, but as he
will likely be on the supreme bench of
the United States when the question
comes before that tribunal he will
have the last word on the subject.

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.

Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life by art,
But some of their days by the glow
of their tears,
And their life by the means of their
heart
The dials of earth may show
The length, not the depth Of years.
Few or many may come, few or many
may go;
But our time is best measured by
tears.
All. not by the silvery gray
That crept through the sunny hair.
And not by the scenes we pass on
our way
And not by the burrows the finger
of care
In forehead and face has made;
Not SO do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the
shade
Of our souls-and the fall of our
tears.
For the young are Outlines old,
Though their brow be bright and
fair,
While their blood beats warm, their
hearts lie cold
Ger them the springtime-but
winter is there,
And old are ofttimes young,
When their hair is thin and Write;
And they sing in age as in youth they
sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was
light
But bead by bead tell
The rosary of my years,
From cross to crown they lead
it's we'll,
And they are blessed with bless
ing of tears
Better day of strife
Than a century of sleep;
Give me instead of long stream o
life M
The tempest and tears of the deep
A thousand joys may form
On the pillows of all the years;
But never the foam brings the BRAY,
bark home
1t reaches the haven through tears

Mrs. Daniel Hooker. president of
the Just Government League, said in
Baltimore the other day that the
American man makes his wife the
trademark of his bank account. He
cannot wear gems himself, but he
puts them on his wife when he can af-
ford to do it. AS whole, and as a
working body, she says the fashion
able woman Is useless, but there are
splendid exceptions. and among these
she mentions Mrs, Belmont and Mrs
Mackay.

Two scientists of the United States
Geological Survey, F. w. Clarke and
G. F. Becker, each with different
method of investigation, have formu-
lated new estimate of the approx
mate age of the earth, now published
with the sanction of the Smithsonian
Institution. Professor Clarke studied
the subject from the standpoint of
chemistry, while Becker went at it as
philosophical problem. They agree
that this earth was born not less
than 55,u00,000 years ago and not
more than 100000 years.

FOURTH CLASS PosTMAsTERs.

FOURTH GLASS POSTMASTERS.
The Buffalo News calls attention
to the fact that the merit system
fails when it has to deal with the class
of postmasters who serve in small Of
fees Often it is not easy to fill such
offices at all Their business is fire.
que1tly Insignificant and the pay of
small consequence The single store
in a place is almost of necessity the
only available stand for the office and
it is made an adjunct of the store bust
ness. Even politics cannot control in
a large number of cases. The store
keeper must be persuaded to accept
the post office for public convenience
whatever his politics may be-
Postmaster General Hitchcock finds
that iii many instances no one will
come forward to take examination for
the post office department Only one
person in a place can find the room
for the office at less cost to himself
than the office brings in for revenue.
Examination is a waste of time in
such cases. The merit system in COM
petitive form breaks down before such
a situation. The government must
make its bargain with the only inhah-
liant In position to carry out the con-
tract and serve tie people with some
degree of convenience and without
loss to the department.
1t has been freely predicted from
the first that the merit system could
not be worked fully in dealing with
postmasters of the fourth class and
the official report of the department
head confirms that prediction All
that remains is to apply it where it
is applicable and neglect it where
nothing comes from It as business
fact.

ILLINOIS CITIES WANT ~pLAN.,

ILLINOIS CITIES WANT "PLAN."
The new Illinois law permitting
cities in that state to avail them
selves o. the commission form of
government promises to be quite
popular. Quincy, Joliet and a number
OF other cities are contemplating
submission of the question this fall.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce of Quincy were first to act in
the matter. Among other things done
before announcing their intention
they wrote to mayors, merchants, Ia
boring men and others in many cities
which have the commission plan IN
other states, and requested informa-
ton as to whether the new plan of
government had been successful, and
if so, why. The replies are unani-
nous in favor of the commission
plan. Here are few brief excerpts
from them:

Thomas A. Edison would exclude
horses from cities in the interest Of
the public health. He said in support
of this proposition in the course of a
recent interview:
There is absolutely no reason why
horses should be allowed within city
limits. for between the gasoline and
the electric car, no room is left for
them. They are not needed The COW
and the pig have gone. and the horse
is still more undesirable. A higher
public ideal of health and cleanliness
| is working toward such Punishment
very swiftly; and then we shall have
decent streets instead Of stables made
out of strips of cobblestones bordered
| by sidewalks. The worst use of money
| Is to make fine thoroughfare and
then turn it over to horses
