Taxing The Rich

Twenty-nine men will pay tc
the government of the United
States SIS, 972, 600 in income taxes
alone, and twenty-three others
vile add an additional 81, 500, 600.
This great sum will be almost
one-half the total interest on the
public debt; or one-ehalf of the
total amount spent on the
indians; or more than one
twentieth of the PENSIONS; or
one-cighteenth of the cost of the
army; OF one-sixteenth of the
cost of the navy. And these
savings will all go to reducing
the cost of living.
1t is true that the income tax,
as planned at present, with a
higher rate for the man whose
income runs to millions than
for the man whose income is
only 81, 900, and with no burden
at all on the man whose income
is under $4,000, is hailed by
some economists as a wicked
abuse of the taxing power. But
these Jeremiahs do not recall the
plundering Of the people that
has gone on undisturbed since
1860 by virtue of the Republican
party's protective tariff.
Somewhere in the heart of the
voter there turks the thought
that it is less of a hardship on
John d. Rockefeller to take So, =
600, 600 Of his $50, 900, 600 income
than it is to make a poor work.
man in the steel factory sleep
his few hours under cotton
blankets, because he is prevent
ed, by the cruel tax on wool for
the benefit of the wool trust,
from sleeping under warm bed
covering.
Also, the gloomy forecasters
might consider that England
and Germany both have higher
income taxes than are proposed
for America, and both have
prospered as greatly in trade, in
population, and in wealth as
even their great sister in the
West.
Now, the only problem before
the government is to pluck the
goose so as to obtain the max
imum amount of feathers with
the minimum amount of squak
ing, and this will doubtless be
accomplished by deducting the
tax before it ever reaches the
pocket of its owners, on the
theory that it is far easier to pay
your taxes without having them
pass through your own hands,
and also, more honest. - News

Alcohol a Foe to God and Man

Alcohol is the foe of all sacred
things. Its use weakens the
ability to discern between that
which is evil and that which is
good. 1t emboldens men to
neglect God. 1t sets up false
standards of duty and ambition,
standards, that is, which are
warped and dwarfed by the
claims Of indulgence. Alcohol
confuses conscience until it calls
right wrong and wrong right. 1t
eXalts present advantage and
dulls the power of noble ambi-
ton. In short, alcohol is the
handmade Of the life of sense,
of fleshly graticfation, of pas
sion, to the refusal of the higher
life of self-respect, of self-denial
and of sacrifice. Once the drink
habit is entrenched in the home,
all those baneful antagonisms
manifest themselves in a thous-
and ways. The children feel
them; the grown youths and
maidens suffer from them; the
visitors and friends, the servants
and attendants-if such there
be-do not escape their in
fluences; and the heads of the
family receive back further
dreadful impetus on the way to
moral and spiritual atrophy and
death. The home so degraded,
instead of a nursery of moral
beauty and of spiritual life, be-
comes little more than charnel-
house of dead or dying souls.
For the reasons here briefly re-
ferred to, we of the Salvation
Army briefly say that strong
drink ought to be banished from
the home, from the Church
which is the earthly home of the
family of Christ-and from the
use of all civilized peoples. And
on these grounds the Salvation
Army has, in Gods name, al
ready and forever banished the
accused thing from all its bord-
ers. BY General w. Bramwell
Booth, in The Union Signal.

Left The Ministry

Rev. w. j. Hubbard, Il Baptist
minister, who figured in sensa-
tional affair in Charleston last
fall, where he was superintend-
ent of the Davis Child Shelter,
has accepted a position as travel
ing salesman for Baltimore
company. A 14-year-old girl, an
intimate of the Child's Shelter,
accused Rev. Hubbard of at
tempting to attack her. AT the
trial the case proved to be Il
conspiracy and the minister was
honorably acquitted. Elk.
The above is q case that is
more than unfortunate. This
man, against whom never am
act of wrong-doing had been
imputed, was accused in his alb
sence of criminal acts against
a intimate of the institution.
He hurried back and demanded
trial. On the Investigate ion he
was honorably acquitted. 1t
developed that the malicious lie
was instigated by woman who
wanted the position.
The wrong so hurt Mr.. Hub
bard and he was so mortified
lest it would iniure his useful
ness in the ministry that he has
abandoned the calling.
What stronger evidence would
any one need of the absolute
necessity of a hell as a place of
everlasting abode for slanderers
than is shown by this kind OF a

Rockefeller Jr., Views Terminals
of the Western Maryland
Railroad.

Democratic and winning - Ohm ID.
Rockefeller, IT,, has been riding over the
lines of the Western Maryland Railway
and inspecting its tidewater terminals in
Balumore. Rockefeller arrived in Balti-
more from New York on Wednesday,
November 9Th. He left shortly before
noon, on Saturday, November Sth, to re-
turn to that city. During his STAY in
Baltimore he was the guest of President
!. NJ. Fitzgerald, of the Western Mary
land
Rockefeller was greatly impressed by
his trip. especially by the spleudid termi
nal facilities of the Western Maryland
at Port Covington and he predicted
big increase in Baltimore's commerce.
He is, perhaps, the largest individual
holder OF securities of the Western Mary
land Railroad and he is known to have
great faith IN its future. He had not
been in Baltimore for more than two
wears. his last visit to that city being
about the time that the Connellsville ex-
tension was begun. Rockefeller always
gets his information at first hand, when
possible and his visit to Baltimore was
for the purpose of seeing with his own
ewes and inquirlng personally as to the
development of the road and particularly
the ConnellsviIle extension. There was
no other significance attached to his trip,
it is understood.
Saturday morning early, Rockefeller
began. accompanied by Mr.. Fitzgerald,
a "trip around the harbor of Bati-
more. Especial attention was paid to
the big piers of the Western Maryland
at Port Covington, and the facilities of
the company has there for the loading
and unloading OF ships. He has kept
himself informed of the -velopement of
the tidewater properties Of the road, but
he himself. was agreeably surprised
To find out that what he saw and learned
personally aXceeded his conception of the
magnitude of the developments.
After completing he trip around the
harbor, during which the municipal
docks were shown to him, as well as
many other interesting sights, he left for
New York with Messrs. Ellis and
Greene. 1t was not known to any extent
in Baltimore that Rockefeller had been
here, but President Fitzgerald, of the
Western MARYLAND, upon being ques-
toned confirmed the report Of his pres
ence in Baltimore City. Throughout his
stay in Baltimore Rockefeller was the
guest OF President Fitzgerald. who is
very well acquainted with him, and the
trip over the road was made under the
supervision of President Fitzgerald.
Rockefeller is expected to make an.
other trip to Baltimore soon, but the
date is not yet known. 1t was his first
trip over the road since the Connells-
vile link was completed. and he en-
ioyed the trip thoroughly.
