The United States Senate in an ef- fort to prevent the use of white phosphorus in matches has passed a bill which levies an internal revenue tax of two cents a hundred upon matches in which the de idly element is used. The importation of such matches into this country is forbid den after Jan. 1, 1913. No such matches can be exported after Jan. l. 1914. The tax is prohibitive and is intended to be. The purpose is not to raise revenue but to prevent the use of the chemical in matches. and the continued affliction of match workers with the disease called ..phossy jaw,' a most awful, malig- nant and terrifying malady. which sets up necrosis of the jaw bone, de-

stroying sometimes it's entire struc- ture, making of the afflicted in- dividual one who is an anguish to himself and an exile from his fellow creatures.
 It is admitted that this use of the taxing power under the constitution is radical, but it is the only certainly constitutional means available to con- gress, and in the interest of humanity it was used.
 Senator Bailey of Texas and Sena- tor Hepburn appear as opposing the measure. The callousness of their argument, their brutality in the de- bate and their lack of sensitiveness to the Humanitarian motives back of the bill ought to be presented, at the proper time, to their constituents.

There need be no excitement over that sagreement between the Dem ocratic majority in the Common Coun- eli and Mayor Wilson which prevent ed the adoption of the mayors plan checks are issued for paying the rents of the poor.

The amount awarded was s4,- 200,. to be paid in monthly install ments of $50, during seven years. The award is protected in such way that it cannot be seized by creditors, including doctors who assisted in car ing for Miss Houghton and who have bills said to total $25,0OO.
 The system finally adopted was that embraced in the theory of workmen's compensation, the sum allowed be- ing great enough to keep Miss Tough ton from being impoverished during a period in which her earning capa- city may be decreased.
 Said Senator Bristow, in charge of the bill: 'I desire to say that the United States Government is not able to pay the young lady for her suffer- ings. The United States Government cannot pay a man for the loss of a leg or the loss of an arm. There is not enough property in the United States to pay the senator from Ohio for the loss of foot, or leg, or an arm. or an eye. We cannot settle these claims upon that basis"
 So nothing was allowed for the wig.

THE fight over the local option bill in
the Maryland Legislature the past week
has revealed the hold that the saloon
keepers and the whiskey interests have
upon that unfortunate State. The House
on Saturday last passed the local-option
bill with certain amendments that were
not entirely welcome to the temperance
people. but rather than lose the bill en-
tirely the dry men accepted them. The
bill is now in the Senate, where it may
die because of the obstructive tactics of
Senators who are owned body and soul
by the liquor men. A sensation of the
week was the charge by Delegate VIM.
X. Snallwood, of Prince Georges county,
that John F. O'Malley, Maryland's State
Auditor, had tried to bribe him with 81 500
to vote against the local option measure.
An investigation brought out such dam
aging evidence that even committee of
wet members was forced to report that
O'Malley was guilty, and Recommended
that he be presented to the grand jury.
If the Maryland Legislature defeats the
local option bill again the alleged democ-
racy of that State will receive fearful
setback.

SUCH fighting as the Taft and Roose-
welt men are engaged in all over the
country II is shocking! In New York
on Tuesday the alleged presidential pri-
marieS were held, and the ring organiza-
ton, controlled by the Taft men, carried
things with high hand, stealing SO of the
20 delegates and leaving the Roosevelt
people a scant seven. Col. Roosevelt
declared that "There never was a more
scandalous spectacle than the way the
New York machine is running the tight
tor the Taft machine in these primaries. "
Sore? Yea, verify.
In Indiana there was a bitter fight in
the State delegate convention, and the
Taft men, who were in control, permitted
the contested Taft delegates to vote on
their own case, thus naturally getting a
majority. The Roosevelt people held
another convention and will send con-
testing delegates 10 the national conven-
ton.
It's merry war going on in the Re-
publican camp.
