 To assure the accurate and full i'm position of the tax, the government requires from corporations full and exact reports of income and outgo, and 1t holds, and may exercise in it's dis cretion, the power of examining books and records. It is to this feature of the law that the burdened corporations object. They claim that even under the limited publicity of the sworn re- turns made by them, their competitors can learn their secrets
 But there is an even worse feature. Can aHy one estimate the purse-open- .ng power of a secret collector of cam paign funds. armed with full details of corporations business? He could say. as does the highwayman, stand and deliver, and enforce his demand with threat to divulge inside infor- nation to a competitor. There would be millions in it'' if dextrously worked

The several and bitter contests in ships Of municipal courts, moves the Hartford Courant to say:
 Isn't 1t about time that some other way for the choice of judges, even ' if they are minor ones, were devised so that the Legislature may be freed of this demoralizing influence? We have removed the higher judges from this atmosphere, and the bench has manifestly improved as a result. There is no reason to doubt that the lower courts would similarly benefit by such treatment The experiences of the present. General Assembly ought 70 make it's members eager to pass a law to relieve their successors of the annoyance that they have had to suf- fer.
 The contests are either purely on party lines which makes party spoil of Judicial office. Nr they are on personal grounds. which make fitness a second sry question but deal with relation ships and sub-offices and favors past and to come. In it's diminutive way all this is scandalous. What in the world has it to do with securing jus Sice between man and man?
 Almost invariably there is con- test over each of these minor judge ships. and when a settlement is reached, it is generally the result of deals, into which various considera- rions enter. If similar considerations appeared in a general election, they might possibly be classed as viola t!ons of the Corrupt Practices act-as for instance. the purchase of one office by the promise to grant another.

 ''No woman who wishes to be well. she added, should wear corset. The long hipless corsets of a season or so back were outrageous.

 The resignation of the Rev. Dr Aked as pastor of John D. Rockefel- ler's Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and it's accordance by the church has serv- ed to relieve the unpleasant tension that has been tightening the relations between the two for some months D1.. Aked has resented the constant tendency to look upon the church as a private benefaction of the Oil King and to overlook the serious spiritual work in which it has been engaged. He has felt of late that the asSocla- tion of the head of Standard Oil with the church corporation impaired it's usefulness to the extent that it handi- capped the pastor in developing the opportunities daily presented to a large metropolitan congregation. On the other hand the church officers are inclined to impute to the minister a disposition to be headstrong and to ignore the traditions upon which the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, which is by no means a pretentious edifice, has been built up. On the Pacific Coast. to which Dr. Aked will go, he feels he will find a broader and more yitalizing field for work than he did in New York, with its worship of money and the things that 1t buys.

 As 8 stepping stone to universal peace, Count Leo Tolstoy. third son and namesake of the dead novelist, suggested last week that the United States and Russia form an alliance. The visitor. who intends studying conditions here for several months, believes 1t would be followed by other nations getting into line.
 ''It is true Russia is in state of unrest" he said But America is in state of transition. Together they would steady each other.
 There are many ways through which Russia and America could be drawn together. It cannot greatly matter which ways are chosen. The people of your country and of mine are much alike; have much in com mon. We are, perhaps. little older, a little more toughened in fibre be- meath the surface, but after all, maybe ] am wrong in that. Necessarily I see America from Russia, just as you see Russia from America. However, one point is clear: if the people of this country have the spirit and the will to form an alliance with Russia, the way will be found.

Bv the decision of the Appellate Di- vision of the Supreme Court. Daniel Edgar Grouse, who died in 1S92 leav- ing an estate of $5, 900, 0O0, was not the merry old bachelor the world thought and his relatives believed him to be The court holds that the Countess potulicka was his wife and Mrs. Doro- thea Grouse McVickar their child by the secret union, which was conceal ed until after the death of the multi millionaire. Under the ruling of the court. the daughter will receive s1.- BOO GOO from the estate and her mother about s1 100000. The balance will go to P cousins and other heirs who have been seeking for many years through the courts to establish the fact that the Countess had never mar ried the deceased and that her daugh- ter was not his child. The contest has been stubbornly fought through the different branches of the court until the recent final adjudication of

LESSONS FOR NEW YORK
 AND OTHER CITIES

It was a professedly fireproof build Sns in which so many lives were lost, Aaturday afternoon As neither the Hoors of the ten-story building. nor its stafrways. all of wood, were de- lined to the interior fittings and the utock of goods on hand, the latter of which was exceedingly inflammable Tt appears then. that except for the floors and the statrways. the build sng was actually fireproof. and they neither collapsed nor burned.
 What, then. caused the very heavy .oss of life? Why were not the stair ways utilized more largely for escape? why were not moro rescued by way of the roof? It Is fairly evident that Ahers was a large quantity of exceed anefy fnflan1rnabIe material, used in Rhe manufacture of shirt waists, on <he three floors which were crowded with some 1900 operatives. mostly sx4rls. Ffre seized these materials and spread rapidly. Flames passed into i<he elevators and, presumably, into sthe stairway, cutting off escape either down or up. Then ensued panic.
 There Is a lesson for other cities as well as New York in this matter. It Is that while rireproofing of the walls of a bs1f1ding prevents property losses, 1t does not, 90 long as the goods stored or Tn process of manufacture therein are inflammable. or the inter for fittings are of wood, estop loss of Flife 3n c4aA of fire Of course the character of the goods cannot be changed, but 1t is possible.i with the ala of fire e1tinguishers, automatic eprinkling, etc. to at least lessen the danger from that source and, perhaps, to check fires in their incipiency. Another source H danger can be avoided by the use of metal in interior fixtures.
 Another lesson is that even fireproof buildings should be provided with fire escapes of sufficient number and size 10 permit the safe outgo of any pos eible number Of inrpates. but this could be avoided by the provision of adequate fireproof and enclosed stair ways.
 Most probably. these lessons will not be needed. either by owners of build ings who could, of their own volition, change danger into safety, or by leg fslators who can, if they choose, exer- else compulsion upon, the owners.
