THAT MAN ROOSEVELT"

Arnold Bennets latest book is about America; he
calls 1t "Your United States but the reading of its
pleasantly fluent pages has served this OCCASION
chiefly to recall another volume on this country by
H. G. Wells that contains graphic picture of Mr..
Roosevelt during his second Presidential term. Wells
went to see Roosevelt in the White House. They
walked in the garden and talked of human destiny.
They talked Of another book by Wells, in which he
had made picture of the world when the sun had
almost burned out, and only blind algal creatures
moved on the sands near the dead of the sea-
Wells asked the President Of what use was all the
fuss we made of living when that was to be the end
Of it, and the President, kheeling garden seat,
thumped the back Of it with an emphatic fist, and
peerng at him through his glasses, said at him more
than to him: well, what Of that What il that
be the ultimate end of labors. The efforts worth
it! The efforts worth t!' That picture stands to
our thinking as being still faithful likeness.

AN INTIMATE VIEW.

Last year the Presdent-elect spent an evening in
Colorado. He had gone there a. the guest Of com.
mercial body to talk to its members on questions Of
municipal government The commercial body in
question was at that time not popular, and the dinner
would have been poorly attended had not the mem.
bers Of the various college societies organized a
movement to take tables for each society At the din.
ner and by that action converted threatened failure
into great, public success
After the dinner Governor Wilson went for an
automobile ride about the city, and during that ex.
cursion he gave a glimpse Of his trend Of thought
which exhibited his respect for alert scholarship Is
means Of directing the affairs Of mon. He spoke Of
resident tutor at Oxford who had coached such Eng.
lish statesmen as Curzon Balfour, and Rosebery.
He said that whenever those men we're concerned by
the problems confronting the Empire they always
went down to Oxford to talk them over with their old
tutor who felt that, for his part the fine reward he
had in life was this counsel in the dream and the
business" Of the world.
The governor reflected, too, upon the common,
but diminishing falacy that scholarship was inimical
to an administrative sense Of practical things. He
spoke Of the great pageants Of history; Of the long
pgrmages to sacred Places Of the crusades that re-
inspired the thought Of the world; Of the subtle de-.
vices Of craftsmanship that have repained the maps
of continents. And he said that when he thought Of
those things, his mind had always the vivid image Of
some modest scholar or Of some cloistered cardinal
whose finger was on the keys that guided it all.
1t was an intimate and frank glimpse Of himself
that he gave that summer night, and he left to
memory the very pleasant iriendliness Of an open
mind; the matured impression Of man whose custom
it had been for years to look upon life with the eye
of larger vision.

A KICK.

There's a certain kind Of man in this. world who
has Of solid geometry, and shocking ex-
ample will be sufficient for this present purpose That
example can be found any day in any hotel or Office
building where the Man Without a Sense of Space
crowds right up to the entrance door of the elevator
lacking the slightest thought for the people who are
in the elevator and who want to get out. You can
collide with him. brush past him, glare defiance
in his ichthyoda eye; but there he stands incapable
Of courtesy, the apotheosis Of andpat stupidity in
the market pace Of men. He has no manners He
has no dmensional understanding. He takes the
whole wide world to be log on which he is the only
bump. And we place him here in the gallery of
Kicks as Thing That Should Be Put Down.

NOT MARTYRS, BUT MADMEN.

BY unanimous verdict Of the commissioners
picked by Milwaukee court the assailant OF Colonel
Roosevelt is found to be insane. This conclusion
should result in the confinement Of the assassin for
life, since it could never be safely said that his
homicidal mania was completely cured, and because
the public would tolerate his discharge no matte,
how sane he might seem many years hence.
As to the mental nfrmity Of john Schrank there
is not the lingering doubt raised in the cases of
John Wilkes Booth, Charles Guteau, and Leon
Czolgosz. 1t can be set down as the almost in
variable rule Of assassination of American public
servants that they are the victims of maniacs Of one
Or another degree. Neither political nor private ven.
geance is wreaked upon the persons Of our states
himself in his haucination as an instrument Of JUS
tice. The killing of Governor Goebel, as part Of
Kentucky feud is unique in the history Of assassina-
tions of American political leaders,
Abroad the crowned heads and other rulers
whose lives are taken by homicide are nearly always
marked for their fate by organized bodies created to
protest against systems Of government. Anarchists
and Nihlists often draw lots to who shall execute
their sentences Of death. In our country happily,
the assassin Of President, q governor or 4 mayor
represents no organization, nor even political idea.
He represents almost without exception the de-.
liberate impulse of diseased mind. His act is on
its face the proof OF deepseated dementia. About It
there is not a trace of the emotional Inflammation
which results in violence by normal being. The
Booth the Pendergrast the Gallagher lies in wait for
months for his opportunity to kill Lincoln, Carter
Harrison, or a Mayor Gaynor.
Hjdeous and deplorable though they always are,
is nevertheless the grateful fact that such assassin
ations are evidence that the American governmental
system is so satisfactory the whole as not to pro-
woke concerted attempt to correct it by killing of the
official representatives Of the existing order.
The typical assassin Of American rulers is not a
devoted martyr to fanatical cause, but just plain
madman He is to be dealt with just as we deal with
mad dog-put him merciiully to death or chain
him up. .

SMITH CLAIMS
TAX LAWS LAX
Head Of Corporation Department
Tells Manufacturers Of Double
Assessment

Detroit, Mich, Feb, 12--Double
treble and sometimes even quadruple
taxation of the same property Is a
frequent result of loose tax laws in
the United tates, according to Her
,ert Knox Smith, commissioner OF
Corporations. Mr.. Smith spoke on
axes before the Michigan Manufac-
urers' Association here tonight,
,elling something of what his bu-
eau has learned by gathering facts
bout the tax systems of seventeen
tates and arranging them in a
tandard form for comparison.
States Fail to Cooperate.
Lack of cooperation between the
tates and the absence of centralized
administration in most of the states,
fr. Smith blamed largely for the
unsatisfactory conditions. Under
he laws of various states, he said,
axes were levied upon the person
'imself, upon his income, upon his
ecurites, upon his capital, and
pom his estate when he dies.
1.-THE result is chaotic and in
quitable," declared the commission
r. THE subject, in our form Of
government, Is extremely difficult;
ut few of the states do at least
'ecognize that other states exist and
AK property, and that the resulting
multiple taxation should as far as
possible be avoided
States Begin Cooperation.
The states are gradually recognize
'ng the Importance of centralized
administration. | would rather have
: poor tax system with a good adj
'uinistration than the reverse. The
'ocal assessor is about the same the
ountry over. Much of the real diff
'erence in revenue results comes
from the greater or less effectiveness
nf the state administration"
In the sixteen states examined by
The bureau, the commissioner says
there is a growing tendency toward
special classification Corporations
are divided for purposes Of taxation
into various groups and in only one
Of the states examined is there no
tax.
