Tax on Bachelors.

The idea of taxing bachelors-an idea
that has been raising some disturbance
and some laughter-is not new one. A
bill was presented in the Massachusetts
legislature imposing tax of So per year
on every unmarried man OF thirty-five
years, unless he can satisfy the as
SCISSORS that he is not of good moral char
acter or is otherwise untitled for matri-
mony" 1t was set forth In the hearings
on the bill that THE funds so obtained
are to be expended by the overseers of
the poor for the support of deserving
spinsters who have passed or are believed
to have passed the manageable age"
1t is serious question. The bill was
backed mainly by ladies'. Unable to con-
quer the bachelor in the usual way, they
would enlist the aid Of the tax collector.
But a man who is SO wary and skillful as
to elude the graces of woman would have
no trouble in lodging a thing SO easily
avoidable as a personal tax. The fact
that man has succeeded in becoming a
bachelor shows that he is a natural tax
dodger. and has evaded the heaviest tax
that some men have to pay-and the
lightest and most agreeable that others
have to pay.
Bachelors have been punished before.
England imposed tax on bachelors from
1895 to 1905. Every bachelor of twenty-five
and every childless widower of five years
standing had to pay a minimum tax of a
shilling year for FIVE years rising ac-
cording to the social standing of the tax
payer.
All married men should support the pro-
posal to tax bachelors. not at all on the
principle that misery loves company, but
on the ground that there ought to be a
more equitable distribution of the bur-
dens of society.

The Trust-Busting Record.

Who killed Cock Robin? The Senate
yesterday listened to an argument on
the old and famous theme.
The antitrust law was passed in 1890.
II was republican measure, and
republican President was then In office
Cen Harrison was a lawyer of the first
class and his Attorney General was W.
II. IL. Miller. The trusts suffered no
encouragement during that administra-
ton.
Mr., Cleveland returned to the White
House in 1871. and his first Attorney
General was Richard Oney, the leading
corporation lawyer of New England
There was loud and strong democratic
protest against the appointment. In
some quarters ii was described as a
victory for the trusts, and the prediction
made that the antitrust law would be
a dead letter in his hands The predic-
tion was verified. Judson Harmon sue
ceeded Mr.. Olney in the Department of
Justice. The trusts suffered no discour-
asement during that administration.
Mr.. Mckinleys first Attorney General
was John W. Griggs of New Jersey, who
: made no antitrust record, and Philander
Knox succeeded him. The appointment
Of MIR. Knox produced protest similar
" tIidl III the case OF MT. OlneS. he
Lad made his reputation as lawyer in
corporation practice, and the democratic
leaders,, in Congress and out, declared
that the trusts would find no enemy in
him. But they missed it. The trusts
did lind an enemy in him, and he found
in the antitrust law weapon for the
protection of the people, and used it.
II was he who first made the Sherman
Lou.
their first shock, and taught them that
they were mortal.
After Mr. knox came Mr.. Bonaparte,
and then Mr.. Wickersham was introduced
to the country.
Here was another man who, like Mr..
Olney and Mr.. Knox, had numbered cor
porations among his clients. Moreover,
as 4 member of the New York bar he
was supposed to be on intimate terms
with predatory wealth. So again the
prediction was made that the trusts had
won; that they had friend at court,
and would go their way unrestrained.
But Mr.. Wickersham has proved to
be another Knox. He has put his full
knowledge Of the law and his full energy
of purpose at the command Of the gov
eminent, and is doing things. He has
caused the StanudrQ Oll company Anu
the tobacco trust TO turn their toes up
to the daisies,'' and by that accomplish
ment not only heartened the whole anti
trust world, but disheartened the whole
trust world. He Is just getting into his
stride, and in the next twelve months
may add a good deal of great value to
the score.
Let it be admitted that at the start the
trust problem was not the mark il now
is; that IL has grown with the years, and
by its growth and defiance of law really
strengthened the hands Of the laws min
listers. Even so, Mr.. Wickersham Is
none the less by the record the cham
peen' trust buster to date, and has in
spired more hope in anti-monopoly cir
cies than any man who has appeared
in the Department of Justice since the
government essayed to shackle business
cunning as exhibited In trust form.

CATARRH Is SURELY A
DANGEROUS DISEASE

Thousands of people allow catarrh
TO slowly undermine the whole sys-
tenn until a serious disease develops
sometimes consumption.
People who have catarrh should
use every effort to get rid of It, but
should above all adopt a sensible
method.
Stomach dosing, sprays and DOUGH
es won't cure catarrh because It is a
germ disease, and the germs must be
destroyed before the disease can be
conquered.
HYOMEI is the one sensible cur
for catarrh because 1t reaches every
fold, creyice and nook In the mucous
membrane and gets where the germs
are. You breathe HYOMEI and as >.
passes over the inflamed membrance
its soothing influence heals the sore
ness and destroys the germs.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
81. This consists of a bottle of HY-
OMEI and a hard rubber inhaler
Pour a few drops Of HYOMEI into
the inhaler and breathe It a few min
utes each day, that's all you have
TO do. II is guaranteed by Tallman
