their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which Ia being fol-

The lesson is equally to be drawn from our own Civil War. Had the owners of slaves been less contuma- cious, more open to the views of their countrymen, the institution might have been terminated, as it was in England, by the freeing of the slaves with compensation to the owners. Stiff necked and obdurate to the changing views of their fei- lows the slave owners compelled a wer. with the resulting confiscation of their property.
 It may strike even the dryasdust writer of Bench and Bar that it is much better to scrutinize the insti- tuition of the juaiciary now and amend it in certain particulars, than to permit modern types of plutocra- tic tyranny to take on Institutional forms so rigid that only extreme measures will give the nation relief.

STATE INCOME TAX

The esteemed New Haven Union suggests an income tax law for Con- necticut, since it appears that the General Assembly may not ratify the constitutional amendment permitting Congress to levy an income tax. Wis consin has recently passed such a law, which the Union believes, might be made model for Connecticut. . The difficulty is that the state is not able to stop incomes at source, as the Federal government would be. As Senator Peck of Danbury pointed out in his income tax speech, ,<recent- ly, much income in any state comes into it from other states. Connecti- cut would have no power to require the Calumet & Hecla Mining Co., for instance, to disclose dividend pay
 ments to a man in Connecticut. In-
 deed the difficulty is so great that the income which most of all should
 be reached is likely to go free, under a power exercised by a single state.

Object Lessons In Preventing
 Mine Disasters Government Plans Novel Exposition for Miners and
 Owners of Mines

Washington, July 10-In an effort to educate the miners and mine own- CTS throughout the country in pre- ventive methods against explosions and other disasters, the Bureau of Mines has arranged for National Miners Life Saving Demonstration, to be held at Arsenal Park, Pittsburg Pa. on September 16.
 This demonstration will be the most unique exhibit of its kind ever held in this country. The Bureau expects that 10000 and 30,0Oo miners will at- tend and that coal companies will send their trained first aid and res cue corps to participate: Among the speakers will be President Taft, Sec retary of the Interior Fisher and pr. Joseph A.. Holmes, director of the Bureau.
 Arsenal Park N the site of the test ing station of the Bureau of Mines. The first aid to the injured work will be one of the features of the day. The teams from the various coal mines bringing injured miners from the mines and binding their wounds.
 In addition to this work the miners will witness gas and coal-dust ex- plosions in miniature which will be staged in, the great explosives gal lery of the Bureau. In Arsenal Park there will ,also be an explosive gal lery which will resemble coal mine. This will be placed at the bottom of a natural amphitheatre where the ex- periments can be watched by thou sands of miners.
 Gas explosions will take place in this play mine; miners will be en- tombed and one of the Government Rescue Corps in oxygen helmets will enter and save the men. One side of the miniature mine will be open throughout it's entire length so that the onlookers may witness everything taaI nappens in an underground hcs- TOT, except the loss of life. The fa- nous oxygen helmets which have saved many, lives since their adoption by the Bureau will also be on exhibi- tion.
 It is the opinion of the Bureau that this demonstration will be of great practical benefit.

STATE LIFE INSURANCE

Wisconsin promises to be the first state in the Union to engage in the furnishing of life insurance and an nuities. A bill just passed by the legislature authorizes the venture. Policies will be issued, ranging from $500 to s3,000. Premiums are to be calculated upon the American mor- tality tables, which is a guarantee that they will be scientific and suf- ficient. The business is to be con- dueted under the supervision of the insurance commissioner at cost of not to exceed $2 annually on each thousand of insurance. The cost as reported by the old line companies doing business in Connecticut-is more than $4 on each thousand. New Zealand has long and successfully en- gagged in state insurance, working great economy to her people,
