SUFFRAGISTS' KICK ON INCOME TAX
 IS ENCOURAGED

Washington, Dec. 30-R esistance on the part of women of the country to the federal income tax law, despite the governments announced intention to impose fines of $1, 1000 for each failure to report incomes, will receive encouragement of the suffragists' con- gressional union, it is announced in statement issued by the organization headquarters here. Resistance to the law, it is declared, would be thorough Iy justified from a moral standpoint
 The statement, coming as it does upon the heels of the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Woman 5 Suffrage Association, that the "unen- franchised'' women of the country de- cline to aid the government in collect ing taxesaRspon their incomes, caused a mild sensation today in congression- al, treasury and suffragist circles.
 The statement issued by the con gressional union declares that it does not plan to organize a widespread re- sistance to the income tax law but adds:
 eff any society or individual, how ever, should refuse to pay an income amount of income, the congressional union would have every sympathy with such action"
 Imposition of an income tax on women,'' the statement says, has made them realize afresh their help lessness under the governme To tax the women without granting them representation, would be an act of i'm tolerable injustice. Resistance to the rincome tax, say, would have excellent educational value and would be thor oughly justified morally
 It is stated in conclusion, however, that the union will not undertake to organize a protest against the law.
 Mrs Ellen Mussey, honorary dean of the Washington College of Law, in a statement today takes issue with suffragists who would accept Dr. Shaw's advice of passive resistance
 women should rem ember that they receive the protection of the govern ment," said Mrs. Mussey, "and it is only right they should contribute to the support of system of law and order in which they share the benefit. In addition to this reason, the income tax was enacted by the aid of Iegisla- tors from equal suffrage states and therefore suffragists should not hinder it's operation"

believe that it was the part of pro- priety in the very face of such inn Ininent disaster for thinking persons to dress in lugubrious black, and to mourn above the wreck.
 But the. occasion was not all cheer less. There was one bright spot, the only cheerful place remaining in ter ritoriaI United States. It was John T. King, to honor whom these ban queters were assem bled. The country had been saved to the extent that the last election had been a victory for the vice-head of the Republican ma chine. Tf@e was for him the feteing due from those who share the bacon ito him who brings it home.
 Mayor Wilson made a speech in which he said that John T. King is the best fellow in the world and MT. King made another speech in which he said that Mayor Wilson is the best fellow in the world. Both of them said that the very best thing in the world for the people of Bridgeport will be a large and growing municipal debt.

Pity the Governor

The governor is losing friends
fast, because he does not and, in
fact, cannot appoint them to office.
Such is political friendship.
The legislature created six or eight
Offices paying salaries of fifteen
hundred dollars and up per year,
and there are possibly fifty warm
friends of the governor applying
for each of these Offices. The
term warn" is used designedly,
for those who get the appointments
continue warm and those who do
not get them become even warmer.
Nay, the latter become really
"hot." They are in a hurry for
another election TO occur so that
they can work and vote against
the governor, if he is rash enough
to run for another Office.
Fifty men, all of whom eft,
bled and yelled' for the governor
in his race last year, ask for the
appointment of convict supervisor.
One of them gets it and the other
forty-nine $50 on the war path"
to defeat the governor in any po-
litical aspirations he may devel-
ope hereafter. And so of all the
other Offices which the governor
has the power to fill by appoint

Ocala has a fine" young hotel

ment. He makes q dozen or more
enemies while retaining one friend.
Isn't it sad? Aren't you sorry
for bims Aren't you glad you
are not governor? Better be a
country editor and be cussed by
the home folks for not running a
six-column paper in five-column
town regardless of your grocery
bills.

We have read the Bryan primary
election law, and our deliberate
conclusion is that the attempt to
put it into practical operation will
''bust up'' either the primary sys-
tenn or the Florida Democratic
party. The objects of the law are
good, but it is encountered with
so much detail and ''red tape" that
it will be practically impossible to
secure in every precinct of the
state election managers who can OF
will readily comprehend it and
conduct the election in strict COM
pliance with its requirements. 1t
is doubtful if any intelligent and
conscientious man who will read
the law can be induced to serve as
an election manager under it.
Under the system which the
Bryan law abolishes and which
was much simpler, 1t was difficult
to secure managers and even the
most careful and competent mana
gers were subjected to complaints
of irregularities, if not of actual
rascalIty. Errors, whether inten-
tional or not, we're common in ev-
cry county, and these on the part
of both managers and voters.
The Bryan law is much more
complicated than the old one, and
the result will be general confusion
and consequent disgust and indig-
nation. 1t has been said that you
cannot make man good by law,
and it might be added truthfully
that you cannot make a man man
age an election or vote correctly
under a law which he does not un-
derstand. 1t will take ever so
much study of the Bryan law and
many object lessons or practical
illustrations thereof to enable the
average man to conduct an elec-
ion or vote in compliance with its
terms. Voters who do not intend
% ''bolt" had better begin study
ng itas soon as they can get cop
es of it.

Fred Cone, ditto from Columbia

courageous captain of Jacksonville

United States attorney for the

League; Fred Myers of TalIahas-

there are a dozen or more others
of merit and eminence whose sur

A great problem yet unsolved

The supreme court has upheld
the law requiring newspapers to
make semi.annual statements OF
ownership and circulation, under
penalty of being deprived Of the
postal privileges. AS far as this
paper is concerned, it has no OBJ
lection to making such state
ment every day, having nothing
to conceal in the premises. At
the same time there is q great deal
of unwarranted interference 10 the
private affairs of newspaper pub
fishers. For instance, newspapers
may not extend credit except for
a certain period to subscribers
who are known to be perfectly
good for the amount. How would
our grocers and merchants like
their business looked after for
them in this way?
AS matter of fact, the news
papers are the favorite target of
every little peanut politician who
essays to "get even" because he
has been given too much or too
little publicity. However, let US
be cheerful. We can still 90 on
performing the ungrateful task of
attempting to create statesmen out
of measly little politicians-and
we can take the hide off of some
of these little two-by-fours when
they get too disgustingly venal.
In most instances it is a vulnerably
corrupt man who, when "clotbed
in a little brief authority" de-
lights in harassing the newspapers,
for the newspaper is the natural
and inalienable enemy of just such
cattle. Lakeland Telegram.

HOW ABoUT YOUR VoIcE7

1t may be perhaps because talking
is the most common thing in the
world that so little attention is paid
to the voice-its control and cuItiva-
ton for ordinary conversational pur-
poses.
And yet, strangely enough, the
charm of a well-modulated voice,
held in perfect control and used with
regard for various topics and differ
ing emotions, is one of the most at
tractive and desirable features.
What can be more discordant than
coarse and fugitive voice consid-
cred along with an otherwise charm
ing woman? 1t spoils the whole
picture.
