None So Blind as Those Who Won't
See,

''The recent democratic victory in
the Rochester, y. Y, district is of no
national Importance. It was wholly a
local affair. Our committee took no
notice of the fight"
This declaration by Representative
Mckinley of Illinois, chairman OF the
republican congressional committee, is
typical of the political blindness of
many of the standpatters. Even as
they are being driven back and out of
public life, they deny absolutely that
such is the case
Cases in point are those of Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island, Senator Hale
of Maine, and Representative Lowden
of Illinois, all of whom have announc-
ed that they will not accept reelection.
Senator Hale made the fight of his life
that he might remain in the senate,
but finding sentiment in his state was
hostile, he announced that he would
not be candidate for reelection. I'm
til within the last month Senator Hale
scoffed at the idea that he could not
control his own state. AS early as
1908 twas clearly apparent to all
save Hale himself that his persistent
representation of special interests, his
Indifference to public welfare and his
arrogant disregard for public opinion
had aroused in his state a sentiment
of such extreme hostility that it could
not be suppressed.
Notwithstanding Aldrich's announce
ment, his opponents here say they do
not credit his statement, viewing it as
intended for political effect and not
made in good faith. If the next Rhode
Island legislature is republican. many
believe Aldrich will permit himself to
be reelected, although for the sake of
appearance he may declare that such
action was against his wishes. If the
next Rhode Island legislature should
happen to be democratic, Aldrich will
deny that it was a personal defeat in
all probability, explaining that he was
not candidate for reelection.
The republican progressive senators
declare that whatever Aldrich says
now, they will expect to see him back
in the senate the next congress. Rep

How a Criminal is Made.

Talking with a World reporter,
John Carter" the convict poet, blames
for his downfall, not the desperate act
of starving 1S-year-old boy. but "the
attitude toward life which made the
thing possible"
That attitude Carter puts in one
word, '1istlessness." He had not the
manliness to pay the world for harbor-
ing him by earning his living doing its
work. He had his opportunity at rou-
tine work, such as Lamb, the elder
Mill. Matthew Arnold, Trollope - in
short, almost all literary men at some
period of their careers - have not
scorned He had his second chance
on a prairie farm, and with character
istic carelessness," ran away from 1t.
There is nothing in his sordid story
that essentially differs from that Of
any vagrant and loafer without par
ticle of his ability. Up to this point
the recital almost ,epels sympathy.
There remains, however, one excuse
his youth.
For, when John Carter points out
that it is a poor use to make of = boy
of 10 to send him to Jail for 10 years,
lin unaspiring wretchedness to sit" he
is everlastingly right. Merely to shut
up an erring youth, upon the thresh-
hold of life-not to guide him, train
him to usefulness, and aspire him with
ambition and courage and set him hap
PLY at work agaip-that is one of the
most appalling blunders of civilization.

The Proposed Income Tax Amend
ment.

ment.
When, during the proceedings in
/ congress that led to the enactment of
the new tariff law, the bill to submit
TO the states for consideration an in
come tax amendment to the national
constitution was introduced and de-
bated. it was considered very doubtful
whether the measure would be ratified
by a sufficient number of states to in
sure its success. Doubt still exists.
Only the other day the New York
assembly, by vote of "A to &c, defeat
ed a concurrent resolution favoring
this income tax amendment to the
federal constitution. Connecticut and
Virginia are among the states that
have rejected it, and Massachusetts
and Georgia have ignored it. Illinois,
South Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma
and Kentucky have voted for it.
1t seems to be a question between
the power of plutocracy and of the
people The monied classes generally
are opposed to it. 1t would be a tax
on wealth, and such a tax as that the
wealthy classes oppose. They want
all the tax, or nearly all the tax by the
federal government to be imposed
upon the people equally, without re-
gard to their material condition, in the
form OF tariff duties, so that a million
aire or multi-miIlionaire shall have
to pay no more of the national tax
than is paid by the laborer who gets
but 81 a day
Although President Taft has, in a
certain way, put himself in an attitude
favorable to this constitutional amend
ment, and even Senator Root has
spoken in favor of it, the Aldrich
crowd are known tn be in opposition
to it. and all the influence in the vari-
GUS states which they could command
has been used in opposition to it.
What the democrats were in favor
of was the passage of an income tax
measure by congress. It was the be-
lief of the democratic congressman
that such a measure, if passed and sub
mitted to the supreme court, would be
declared constitutional. The growth
of public sentiment in it's effect can
no more be escaped by courts than by
Legislatures. A powerful public senti-
ment, long continued. will defeat any
measure that is distasteful to the peo-
pie, or in time will secure the success
of any act or project demanded by the
public veal.

Virtue in a Travelling President.

Despite the fact of manifestations of
objection to President Taft spending
so much time in travel there is virtue in
the national executive keeping close
to the people. Since President Taft
entered the White house, his love for
travel and his frequent absences from
Washington have aroused some criti-
cism
An investigator into presidential
records of early days has found how
ever, that some of Mr. Taft's prede-
cessors were more prone than he is to
leave the executive mansion, even if
they did not have the means of COM
munication with Washington which
now exist
Thomas Jefferson absented himself
from Washington a total of 796 days
during the two terms he held the Of
f1ce. Madison spent 637 days away
from the White house; Monroe, 703;

land, Harrison. Mckinley and Roosevelt

HuTnOr and
Philosophy
WORK OF The MlcRoRE.
By DUNCAN m. SMITH

THE microbe that biteth the poet
= And makes him IN rapture to sing
Gets on to the Job and is busy.
As you may imagine. IN spring
AS soon as the snow has departed
And buds take the weather mans dare
To sprout II they care to take chances
The poet is bitten for fair.
The flowers as they open their petals
Suggest an occasion for rhyme,
And so he goes at IL in earnest,
AS burglars turn softly TO crime.
Great thoughts through his brain box
come surging.
AS rivers run down 20 the sea
What time they are stirred by a freshet.
AS man must look on from a tree
The words that he writes may be never
Embalmed and preserved as on ice
And read through the run OF the ages
As gems that are held without price
In fact. they may die in the borninR.
For publishers seldom are kind
But what is the difference7 The poet
Relieves for a moment his mind
No practice or training Is needed.
A pen and a chunk Of a pad
Are all Of the tools that the business
Requires for the play OF the fad.
With eyes IN a frenzy that wander
The skies and the regions OF earth
He lashes the muse TO q fury.
And that's how this came TO have birth.
