THE SPEED MANIA.

Since Phaeton tried to drive the
chariot of the sun and darkened the
skins of the Ethiopians. the human
race has paid its annual toll of death
to the mania for speed. Daedalus and
Icarus and Darius Green and host
of others I'D t4eiT share. The three
banked galleys of the Romans, theii
chariot races and their morals alike
paid tribute to this human character
fstic. We hardly know which is the
more dangerous, says the Charleston
News and Courier, the automobile
race or the aeroplane. Both are typi
cal and both reap their harvest OF
death with startling regularity. The
disaster at indianapolis failed to star
tie b scause il was anticipated. PEG
pie take 1t for granted that death
will IolIow speed trials And yet We
speak Of these things as accidents
How can that be an accident which
we ali feel certain will happen? Rath
er it is an accident when automobile
races are held without the accompany
fng tribute of human life. We sup
pose that the mania Will continue. II
is hard to eradicate 1t from the hu
man heart Just as II is hard to eradi
cate the passion for gambling. which
has been a distinguishing feature OF
the Teuton since first he appeared In
history. At the same time, it Is alto
gether wise that the state should
take some means to control these
speed contests and to insist on the
most careful precautions.

CORPORATIONS FACE PENALTY
$4,000 Delinquents VIII Be Fined for
Failure to Pay Taxes.

Washington. Some of the obi.
UNI attached to the corporation tax
is revealed by the fact that check
ing up for the fiscal year recently
ended is likely to show about 10000
delinquents. Each of these delin-
quents is subject to the penalty pre-
scribed for failure to pay the tax with
in the time limit, which is a fine of
from $1,000 to $4,000. Most of the
delinquencies, however, are attribut-
able TO failure to file the reports re-
quired of all corporations. This laxity
will cost several thousand small cor,
porations about SIS each.
Already some 1000 or 5000 delin-
quents have made application to COM
promise their penalties. Many corpo-
ration heads have protested against
the penalties, voicing the opinion that
the compromise scheme is graft"

OSBORN AND MARSHALL CLASH
Former Refuses to Honor Latter's
Requisiton for Prisoner.

Valparaiso. Ind. Governor Os-
born of Michigan has again refused
TO honor Governor Marshall's requisi-
ton for James Carpenter, formerly Of
Chicago, now in jail at Paw Paw and
wanted here for alleged insurance
frauds covering several hundred dol
lars. The reason assigned is improp-
erly filed papers, but since this is the
third refusal officials believe Governor
Oshorn's action voices his known dis
approval of Marshall's position In the
Mcnamara labor cases.

One of the first things for each of

one long dreaem of pleasure, but a
stern discipline. and discipline that
is so severe and so exacting for some
of us that we become seasonco cam.
paigners long before the struggle is
over. The severe discipline. however
affects us in different ways. To some
of as the hard training brings also
bard feelings and the desire for retail

perienees open the springs of their
human nature and arouse Only the
tenderest sympathy Much depends
