little boy who was calling on her next
door nelghbor, "and must say that
she has changed Of late years! Why,

such ability and was such a manager
land you ought to see the way that
house Is run and the perfectly dread
full way she has with her children!
Il don't believe in the old fashioned
way of frightening children to pieces
and making them obey you because
they are afraid. ! never have the
least trouble with my Willie, because
treat him like a human being. Darl-
ing, don't handle the fern, for Mrs.
James may not like it, Everybody
isn't like mother, who understands
how interested little boys are in ma
ture. Stop bending the leaf, dearest
oh, now, see! You've broken the whole
stalk off. There, Willie, You see
what happens when you don't obey
mother!
Its perfectly wonderful, Mrs. James,
the reasoning power displayed by that
child! You wouldn't think 1t, but he
understands cause and effect perfect
ly. He bent the leaf--and it broke
an act and result, you see, Willie,
why did you break all those other
leaves, too? Oh, so the plant would
be even all around. Now, did you
ever hear anything cleverer than that,
Mrs. James? Willie has such an eye
for form. / am sure he is going to be
something wonderful, aren't you? /

when he shows any signs of develop.
ing a particular faculty.
There! Willie is investigating your
cuckoo clock now, He has a passion
for finding out the reason for things.
Willie, darling, you mustn't swing on
the weights of the clock, you really
mustn't.
There! What did mother tell you?
You swung on the weights and now
you've pulled the whole clock down
off the wall! You are likely to give
people headaches when you make a
big noise like that Every one hasn't
the perfect control OF her nerves that
mother has.
There's everything in control, don't
you think SO, Mrs. James? | never al
low any external fact TO upset me.
oh, is the clock broken? Well,
don't believe it is very bad break
and a clever clock man can easily
oh, you say you brought it from Swift
zerland and it has complicated for
eign mechanism? Well, II does seem
to me that Americans ought to be
able to find enough goods manufacture
ed in this country without encourag-
ing anarchists and paupers abroad.
I've often heard my husband talk
about political affairs, so | suppose
am better informed than most women.
"The way Mrs Kershaw let's her
children run over her Is perfectly
dreadful, She didn't seem to have the
least control of them at all, T.
Willie, you must't scratch the pi-
ano with that pin. Mother means what
she says, darling, and | expect you to
obey. Not another scratch after that
one you are making! I've no doubt
IL your furniture polish is the right
kind, Mrs. James, 1t will rub the
scratches out perfectly and, anyhow,
they are such delicate ones. Willie
has such dainty touch with every.
thing that sometimes | think he is 60

way and you may go sit In the green

there! You see, Mrs. James, | always
punish promptly when Willie doesn't
mind me.
If you had children yourself you'd
understand how it warns mothers
heart to feel the little things depend
ing on one and taking ones word as
gospel law. Why, Willie would no
sooner think of going contrary to my
wishes than he would think of flying,
would you, dear?
my goodness, where is Willie? He

you--it rests one to get change from

over soon--it win brighten YOU up and

The Cult Of Rowdyisrn.
(New York Tribune).


Hearty commentator Is to be given
to the activity and severity of the po-
lice and the courts in dealing with
rowdies who infest public places and
conveyances, especially on Sundays,
and who at times make 1t positively
unsafe Tor women to go about unat-
tended or men either, unless they are
able bodied. and skilled in some meth
cd OF self defense. In some cases the
offenders are half-grown boys, who
hurl missiles about in street cars soil
and tear the clothes Of passengers and
make themselves a general nuisance.
In other cases they are such boys
grown up to manhood, who insult and
even assault women and make muir
derous attacks upon their male escorts
often adding robbery to their inde-
cency and violence. In no way could
the authorities secure more cordial
public approval than by sternly sup
pressing the whole pestilent tribe. with
whatever severity may be necessary
for the completeness Of the job.
For there IS in this city what
amounts to tribe or cult of more or
less criminal rowdyisnn. 1t IS no new
thing The "Mohawks'' infested Lon
don long ago in Dean Swift's time,
and "Hooligans" have been numerous

asked II his father was honest. and he
said: HE Is honest as the world goes
/ He won't tell lie for eight and half
cents. but he WIFI tell eight for dol
lar" This willingness OF the human
race to prevaricate makes most per-
sonal property taxes fall with particu-
/, lar severity on widows and orphans
and all those whose estates are in the
! probate offices. where they can not es-
| cape full taxation.
! Since these objections were pointed
out, Great Britain has apparently
| proved that her administrative honesty
and efficiency are SO great as practi-
| caly to collect the whole of an income
tax and therefore to render 1t as fair
! as in theory It should be. Whether IN
the present condition Of administration
in this country such tax could be
| fairly collected is open to much doubt.
! The question OF whether an income
tax IS desirable IS entirely separate
from the question whether it should
| be constitutional. Certainly 1t is abb
| surd fer the constitution, in a matter
! Of this kind. TO stand in the way OF
, the legislature. representing the tudg-
| ment Of the people. There ought to be
an amendment allowing the national
government to collect direct taxes &C
cording to the income or expenditures
/ OF states. and the states should collect
| their taxes in the same manner from
! the constituent bodies. Oregon puts
! this principle into effect next year.
J The Oregon commission also decided
that 1t was impossible to get at per-
sonal property under the present sys
tenn and that the best way was de-
velopment OF the system Of state taxes
! or corporations This recommended
ton, however, was not accepted
/ Real estate ought to be taxed more
and more, and the forms of personal
property that are taxed should be linn
tied. The Borough Of Manhattan. New
! York City, not long ago. had 100000
| inhabitants. The parcels Of real estate
assessed were 100000. The individuals
t paying taxes on personal property
were only 10000. A. S. Hewitt. for
merly mayor Of New York. said: 1.-THE

TIE Best Taxes.

Whether a tax is profitable to the
community depends In large degree
on whether It is annoying, difficult
and wasteful to collect, and whether 1t
interferes with industry in the manner
Of its collection. The great French
economist, Colbert. Is reported to have
said: .rhe art Of taxation consists in
so pIucking the goose as to procure the
largest quantity OF feathers with the
least amount OF squawking." Carlyle
observed that the legislators who pro-
pose indirect taxes have as their pur-
pose: THAT those who are not hun
CRY should suppress those who are.
The pigs are to die-no conceivable
help for that; but we, by Gods b'ess-
ing will at least keep down their
squealing!" An indirect tax naturally
falls most heavily on the consumer.
since it IS an addition to the price OF
the article taxed, and Mr.. Rockefeller
can not eat very much more than Mr..
Smith When q manufacturer In any
line has to pay more for his raw ma
terial the wholesaler has to pay more.
and the retailer more. and in each case
interest and profits have to be COM
puted on the larger amount instead or
on the smaller. Take wooden clothing.
for example. The sheep is taxed. Later
the wool Is taxed in the wholesale
m erchant's hands. The product is tax
ed in the mill az raw material. 1t is
worked up by taxed machinery. 1t Is
dyed by taxed dye. The cloth ia then
bought by the jobber and taxed again.
The merchant tailor puts it on his
shelf. and it is taxed again. The re-
suit Is, the consumer pays several
times as much as the state receives. II
we had to pay our taxes directly we
should pay less but as we should know
what we were doing 1t would not be so
easy to give up a larger amount OF
money for war. past and future, than
is paid by any OF the great war ma
lions Of the world.
What taxes are best? Theoreti-
cally, the fairest Of all Is the income
tax. John Stuart Mill has said Of it:
The fairness which belongs to the
principle Of an income tax can not be
made to attach to it In praise; and:
THE tax, on whatever principles OF
equality It may be imposed. is In prac-
tice unequal In one Of the worst ways,
falling heaviest on the more conscient-
ious." Mr.. Gladstone, speaking OF the
| income tax In 1853, declared: II be-
| to demoralize and corrupt the people"
! Mr.. Disraeli subsequently expressed In
parliament his agreement with Mr..
Ola dstone. saying: The odious feat
! ures Of this tax can not by any means
be removed or modified"

Strictly Sober.
(Union Labor Advocate).


There is something about the loco
an observer to pick him out In a group
of men. No doubt the horid color of
the face Is due to the fact that the
man who guides the big engines over
the shining rails Is constantly subject
ed to a great heat.
But there is something more than
that which makes It easy to single out
a locomotive engineer. As class they
are men Of magnificent physique and
manly bearing. The fine, clear eyes
go common among them are neces-
sity in their hazardous occupation. The
strict examinations which they are re-
CURED to pass before they are entrust-
ed with the safety OF the lives Of the
m lllions OF passengers on the railroads
weeds out the weak and inefficient. 30
that only men of exceptional qualifica-
lions attain the position OF locomo-
tive engineer.
The school Of training which tho
men go thru before their promotion
and the principles inculcated In tho
lodge meeting Of the brotherhood are
calculated to develop all that is best
In men, The clear eye already noted,
IS due to the strict rules Of the broth
erhood against the use Of intoxicating
liquor. There is probably not another
labor organization in the country that
strives SO earnestly to enforce rules OF
temperance and sobriety among its
membership as does the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. It's grand
officers without exception set an ex-
ample to the membership by refrain
ing from the use OF all kinds Of intoxi-
eating liquors. and Mr.. Stone. grand
chief OF the brotherhood, Is steadily
preaching mperance among the men.
