Dillingham's Road Plan

There is not much probability that SEN
ator Dllingbam's proposition. that each
state should receive the amount of the in
come tax collected therein for the benefi t
OF good roads, will be accepted by
the Southern Democrats. Everybod y
knows that the South needs improved
roads, but a very small part of the in
come tax will be paid by Southern States.
The income tax is bitched to the tariff
bill by the Democrats to make up the
losses to the government through the
removed of tariff. Heretofore, an income
tax has been levied only as resource in
some great emergency, but now it is
brought in to counterfeit the tariff for rev.
enue only policy-a departure from th Q
real purpose of an income tax. When
this country is at peace with all othe r
nations there is no need of an income tax,
but DO matter how many millions are
raised by the income tax, Congress will
find ways enough to spend it. The pinch
will come when some great emergency
arises, and then the income tax will have
to be increased. -Brattleboro Reformer.

Safety in Railroad Travel

The terrible accident whereby nearly
thirty people lost their lives near New
Haven, Conn, last week is but one of
many such that have occurred during
the past year Whatever the result of
the investigation two facts seem quite
clear: That the trains were running alta
reckless speed through a thick fog and
that there is lack of discipline which
has encouraged the employees of the road
to disregard rules.
The new management has hard piece
of work before it and should have the
sympathy and support of the public in
every effort to obtain safety for the trav-
cling public. The failure of the manage
ment will be seized upon by those who
argue for governmental ownership of
railroads. But we have enough gov
ernmental' troubles without shouldering
new ones.

For Chief JUDGE

In speaking of the appointment to the
supreme court bench the Randolph
Herald says;
IfGovernor Fletcher does the unexpect-
ed, it is assumed that he will name Hon.
George M. Powers of Morrisville, the
Junior member of the supreme court, as
as chief justice, and he may fill the
vacancy without disturbing the superior
bench. Everyone comedies the strength
of Justice Powers and his capacity for
even the highest place. the only difference
of opinion being the question of his really
superior merit over Others ahead OF him,
and their better claim to the place in
point of experience and service. His ad-
vancement over their heads might cause
some heartburnings. yet If the governor
should be honestly convinced that Justice
Powers deserves the place through merit
alone he should not hesitate to name
him, Notwithstanding. Vermont wants
the ablest chief justice obtainable, and
individual sensitiveness should not stand
in the way.

In Troubled Mexico

American citizens. in large numbers,
in accordance with the suggestion Of
President Wilson, are departing from
Mexico and returning to the United
States. Many find it very difficult. or
practically impossible to do so, as they
would be obliged to pass through dan
gerous territory where the railroads have
been destroyed and where the country is
full of wandering bands of robbers and
murderers who kill and plumber indis-
criminately.

reported as anxious to remain. 1t should
be remembered that these brave workers
have under their care and charge many
young people, students and pupils in the
missionary schools, for whose safety the
teachers feel responsible.

A World Changing Event

Next month the world will no doubt
witness the completion of the greatest
work that has ever been performed in
human history-the opening of the canal
across the isthmus of Panama. It's adj
vantages were foreseen by early explor-
ers and were set forth by Champlain 800
years ago.
The completion of the work has been
made possible only by the combination
of the wealth of great nation with the
skill of trained engineers and with thor
ough obedience to the laws of scientific
sanitation. The expense involved in the
work may in some degree be realized
when one considers the fact that the ma
chinery which will be lett in the hands of
the government when the work is ended
is worth about $25, 100000. But then
the canal will belong to Uncle Sam, who
can with just pride say to the world:

RACE PREJUDICE.

The race problem has been a
stumbling block to nations. 1t
is easy to decry the folly Of race
prejudices. But we are not all
philosophers. And it is too harsh
to blame only the C:lifornians
for their dislike of aliens differ
ent in race. The Greeks and
Romans, the Hebrews and Hin
dus, the Chinese and Japanese,
even the Teutons and the Anglo
SaXons, have during their his
tory often shown a disposition
to regard themselves as the only
chosen sons of God, and to place
other races under the ban of
"barbarians" or ''inferiOrs." Nor
do | ignore the indisputable fact
of an inequality existing among
races, as there is such an in
equality among human beings of
the same race. Injustice comes
only when the color of the skin
is made the sole criterion of in
feriority.-Dr. TOyokichi Iyena-
ga, Lecturer at University of
