THE OLD AND THE NEW.

We like the new system of politics
much better than the old. Under the
old it was the bounden duty of every
partisan to decry every effort on the
part of his adversary as wrong in
principle and ridiculous, without re-
gard to the merits of the proposal,
simply because it was forwarded by
the opposite party. That is one of
the principal reasons why the gov
ernment has slipped quietly away
from the people. Political leaders
have been engaged in creating ficti-
tious issues with which to keep the
voter divided while the "big busi-
ness" of the country, putting gain
ahead of partisanship, has reached
out for control of political machin-
cry, working harmoniously with the
democratic party in democratic states
and the republican party in republi-
can states, to the end of controlling
administration and debating the law.
In that manner special privilege in
law and administration has come to
be the rule.
But that sort of partisanship is
passing rapidly away. The average
voter is coming to realize that it is
not partisan preferment as much as
good government that counts. 1t
matters little with what party a
wholesome measure originates, it is
worthy of support.
That is why millions of men, nom-
nially republican, are and will stand
behind the Wilson administration in
. its efforts to curb special privilege.
There will be little hidebound parti-
sanship in this country in future
Most voters already realize that the
country has gone to seed on parti
sanship and they are determined tha
laws shall be passed and government
administered in the interest of thu
whole people instead of the few. Th'
matter of whether democrats, or pro
gressives, or republicans administe
the government is of small account
but whether it is a government OF
for and by the people is of para
mount concern.
1t is a grand thing that the Ameri
can people are beginning to think
and act, independently on politica
matters. This spirit will make
harder for the country to be rule'
by "the unseen government" an
will surely result in more WHOLESOME
laws and fairer administration.
The newspapers as well as the peo
pie are becoming more Independent
in expression; their thought is grow
ing less circumscribed by politica
creeds, and the tendency is growini
to support a measure because it is il
the interest of the people rather thai
because it is put forward by th
party to which we are attached.

UNrAxING THE POOR MAN.

The big. the important thing about
the new tariff bill is its break away
from the traditional basis of federal
taxation in America, namely, indi-
rect taxation.
For the first time in a period OF
peace, with no imminent crisis i'm
pending, large part of the revenue
needed to run the government is to
be taken directly from the pockets
of citizens able to pay it.
Instead of leaving the heaviest end
of the tax burden on the already
overweighted backs of the poor, the
income tax transfers it to the backs
of the well-to-do and rich.
A wedge is driven straight into
the tough fibre of protected privilege
and we may be sure that, once start
ed, it will not be drawn back.
On the contrary, as the need of
revenue shall increase, with the
growth of the governments service
of the people, this wedge will be a
convenient target for additional
blows by the taxing maui.
Indirect taxation means extrava-
gance, discrimination, a scramble for
privileges and exemptions, the climb
ing of few upon the backs of the
many.
Direct taxation means public
watchfulness, economy, care.
Heretofore the chief clamor for ex-
travagance in government has come
from the prosperous, the wealthy.
For to them it meant new wealth,
wrung from the industry of the hum
BILE, the ignored.
The rule is now likely to be re-
versed. Our keenest minds will have
a pocket motive to try to keep the
government waste down.
Alone, the reduction of tariff du-
ties from high level to somewhat
lower level would probably not result
in a perceptible difference to most of
us. We might hope that it would
measure itself in lowered cost of
living, but we would have little
reason to be sure that it would. Mo-
nopoly would remain to seize and
pocket it's enforced toll much as be-
fore.
But the imposition of graduated
tax upon incomes, the laying down of
a new basis of meeting the costs of
government-this is hopeful, signifi-,
cant.
1t marks the beginning of seri-
Gus attempt to redistribute prosper
ity.
1t isn't the immediate yield of
such tax which is important.
The important thing, the irresisti-
BILE thing, is to get the principle into
conspicuous use.
To have the means of instituting
this momentous service for the COM
mon people may we'll make the Will
son administration memorable.

Vases Were Illustrated Newspapers.

Vases Were Illustrated Newspapers.
The museum of the University of
Pennsylvania is now in possession of
the treasures dug up in Crete by the
expedition in charge of DR.. Edith H.
Hall. These are painted vases and
other relics approximately 5000
years old and are of the Minoan age.
The vases are believed to have been
the illustrated newspapers of that
age, and when the broken parts have
been pieced together it is expected
that they will reveal good deal of
the life and customs of the Cretans
in an era as far removed from Peri
cles and Alexander as these worthless
are from the people of today. They
show high state of civilization and
wholly falsify the theories so often
held that the ancient people were
crude and barbarous almost up to
the time of classic Greece. The col
lection is the largest of Cretan relics
in this country, and was shipped
from Gambia, Crete, to Athens,
where, owing to the troubles in the
Balkans, it was held up for quite a
time before being finally shipped to
the United States.

The WORLDS Largest Building.

Work has been commenced in New
York on what is to be the worlds
record building, and one so high, so
heavy and so costly it will probably
remain the standard for some years
to come. The new Equitable build
ing on Broadway, Nassau, Pine and
Cedar streets will cost when COM
pleted close to $3O,OOO,OOO. 1t will
weigh 100000 tons, as against 1O3,-
900 for the Woolworth building, and
will require $4,000 tons of steel, as
against $4,000 tons used in the next
largest structure. AS a matter of
fact, it will be virtually four sepa-
rate buildings, each having separate
shafts for electric wires, telephone
wires and other devices. BY this
means, together with distinct systems
of water tanks, it is hoped that in
the event of fire in any one section
the other three will be safely iso-
lated.

EDITORS WIFE GONE;
HE WANTS HER BACK
Tells in Circular Of Gossip, and
Threatens Punishment for
the Gossipers.

Gossip, a heinous crime, is rampant in
Logan, W. Va" is stated in circular
received by Maj Sylvester. superintend-
ent Of police, from George A. Dean, edi-
tor of the Logan Banner.
Editor Dean gives the information in
the circular that his wife, Mrs. Lena
Boyd Nelson Dean, whose maiden name
was Gross, disappeared March ID. having
been married in November, 1912, and
asks: who knows where she is?''
The editor says he has worried himself
sick over his wife's strange disappear
ance and that he is heartbroken.~ He
states in the circular that he is men,
Der Of the Owls, Red Men, and other or
CARNATIONS and calls upon members OF
them to assist him in the search for his
wife.
woman are given. She is twenty six
years old, has dark hair and complexion
and high cheekbones and wore her hair
without rats or switches" She is a
striking brunette, it is stated in the cir
cular. attractive, rugged and healthy,
with we'll rounded figure and rather short
wasted.
1t is set forth in the circular that the
mother of tine missing woman disap-
peased about forty-five years ago and no
trace of her was ever found. Editor
Dean learned from his sister-in-law, he
states, that his wife had many Of her
mothers ways.
Mrs. Dean, who was born in the noun
tains of Tazawell county, her husband
says, was converted two years ago at
Buchanan, KY, and il she is alive and
well and has not been abducted, her hug
band cannot understand why she does not
write.
Explaining his wifes disappearance
Editor Dean says in the circular: Real
iZng that Mrs. Dean was weary of con-
finement during winter, assisting in the
grind incident to getting out a paper
week after week in a one-man shop. We
that a couple OF weeks visit to relatives
would do her good.
"She phoned us upon arrival at Hunt
ington, stating that she would take the
first train out Sunday morning for Nor
folk and Western connections, and would
write US when she got there. That was
her last word to her husband, and he
has not seen her or got her letters That
was Saturday night, March L.
Dealing with the question OF gossip
being rampant in Logan, the editor
states: THE Banner man is not a saint.
neither is he any more Of a devil than
most editors who have struck Logan, and
the people who have done a lot of talking
will have to answer for 1t.
In conclusion the circular reads: 1--WE
dislike to air our private affairs in the
paper, but in self-defense and protection
from sneaking hounds, this is the only
course to pursue. What will be. the re-
sult?"
