fire. This time the beautiful river

for the Evansville and Bowling
Green Packet company at this place,

of his household goods, and the
clothing of the family. The origin
of the fire is not definitely known
but it is supposed to have caught
from some one stepping on match
that had been dropped in closet
in the family room. The house
caught fire about Z o'clock p. m.
and by O'Clock, all that remained
was mass of smouldering embers.
The entire town and community
are in sympathy with Mr.. Hill, as
he had no insurance, and 1t is said
his loss will be $500.

The Tariff as a Tax.

II has required much angry vocif-
Grafton on the part of the Tariff
rf0rmeres to make the people under
stand-rather haziiy--that the Tariff
n a tax. And there is a good reason
underlying all this seeming obtuse-
ness. What man i'm his sense would
not rather have the prices he was
paying doubled than have his in
come cut in half? In the former case
the taxation is at his option to a
certain eXtent-he is not forced to
buy. In the latter. the tax is un-
avoidable.-Alfred j. Ferris, in PAU
perizing the Rich"
The man earning $40 a week will
prefer to pay 20 cents a pair for his
stockings rather than have his wages
cut to $40 and get his stockings for
10 cents a pair. That is human ma
ture, and the right sort Of human ma
ture; the sort that makes for prog
ress and improvement. Free-Trade ex-
ploits the doctrine of cheapness;
cheap commodities, cheap labor. cheap
men. Protection contends for better
things; for hisher prices of commo-
dities, for higher wages, for highly
paid men, for higher civilization.
And all the proofs of history and
human experience are on the side

IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE.

Here is what Editor Henry Wat
terson has to say in the Courier
journal concerning the foreign pol
fey Of the Wilson administrations:
Truth to say, the Wilson foreign
policy seems a compound OF ignor-
ance and arrogance. Our President
has a subtitle, scheming mind. Can
he be taking long shot at condi-
lions for 1916 that, breeding war,
or a state of warlike preparation,
will paralyze Mr.. Bryan and his
one-tem declaration In the last Ma
tional Democratic platform, and thus
eresse she ways for his first Ad-
mjnistration to slide into a second

Two Separate Questions.

Having decided to their own sat
isfaction that 1.-THE Tariff is the
mother of trusts" the Free-Trad-
ers imagine that they are going to
remedy trust evils by destroying
Tariff Protection. 1t is as though the
on.y cure for defect in a superstruc-
ture was to be found inrazing the
foundation. But when they have thus
wrecked the superstructure for the
sake OF correcting a defect which
could have been treated by itself,
leaving the foundation intact and
the desirable remainder OF the struc-
ture still standing, the trust evil
remains as before. 1t viii simply
seek another foundation. A Free
Trade foundation will do as w.
Trusts, combinations, monopo,ies
thrive under Free-Trade as under
Protection. There are laws in our
country which deal with trust evils.
If other and more stringent laws
are needed, let them be passed and
executed. But don't wreck prosper
ity on account of the trusts. Don't
burn the barn i'm order to get rid
of tie rats. Don't sink the whole
ship because there is leak some
where in the hull The trust qlres-
ton and the Tariff question are two
distinctly separate questions. Each
should be dealt with separately up
on list merits or dement's.

Tariff but Not Prices.

A year ago the Democrats were
telling us-"Give us a chance; wait
until we cut the Tariff, and then
watch the high cost of living 20
down."
We have waited. We are still wait
ing. The tariff has been cut, but not
the prices. Indeed, the most nota-
be event of the fall has been the
constant increase in the cost OF
foodstuffs.
1t is remarkable that when we
were waiting with hope in our hearts
some Democratic action looking to-
ward a ful-fillment OF prediction
promises, the only step in that direc-
ton in Pennsylvala has been taken

Income Tax Methods.

1t has taken but little over
months trial to show that the re-
quirroo,nents for collection OF the in
Come tax through deduction at tne
source" are obnoxious. Not only has
4 exposed the expense of col;ecting'
the tax ON banks and trust compan-
pies, without compensation, but the
foreign market for American securi-
ties is being demoralized. Foreign
inventors have begun to dump such
securities on the market. This does
not bring any gain to the governmel 1t
results. Although secretary McAdoo
prided himself on havin3 solved all
:, puzzles Of Interpretation of the
...w, his rocert issue Of revised res
u,.tiCis is confession that he has
hal no better luck with its bewil-
dering complexities than divers other
persons who have sought to compr
hend them.
The Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce has drafted a memorial on the
subject, setting out the difficulties
before mentioned, and pleading with
Congress to modify the present pro-
visions for deduction at the source.
The memorial suggests that reasona-
BILE and practicable methods be de-
vised which will enable the govern
ment to obtain at the source informa-
ton for enforcing correct returns from
taxpayers without obstruction OF bust
ness facilities. The protest is not
against payment of the tax or even
against its graduated features, but
solely against it's cumbersome and
annoying method of collection.
The last valid income tax impos-
ed by this government yielded much
revenue without the scheme of de
duction at the source" The indi-
vidual merely made an affidavit as
to his income and paid his tax on
that basis. There was a severe penalty
for failure to return the required
affidavit and for fa,se and mislead-
ing statements. II was made at the
end OF the year, when the taxpayer
had all the figures before him. Now
the taxpayer must practically deter
mine at the beginning OF the year
whether he is exempt from the tax
or not. The individual must be a
prophet to be able TO swear whether
he will have TO pay the tax at all
or in what class he viii be at the
end of the year. Bad cuck in the
middle OF the year may throw an
individual into a lower grade or ex-
empt him altogether, after part OF
the tax has been deducted. On the
other hand a man may at the be-
ginning OF the year think he is ex-
empt from the tax or that he is in
one of the lower grades. and the
Gave = ent OF the years business
may make him liable to the tax or
place him In a higher class. The
of thieves in our popula-
ton is smaller and by providing Sc
we're criminal pena isisd and giving
the government facilities for ascer-
information enough at the
source TO enforce correct returns the
danger may be eliminated and or
binary business be relieved from the
present vexa1ious requirements.--

DOYLE AMAZED AT
CONVICTS' LAUGHTER
Visits Sing Sing and Sees the
Prisoners Enjoying Band
Concert on Holiday.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. who is an ex-
pert on English prisons, was anna zed
yesterday when he found the convicts
at Sing Sing giving a concert with their
own band and being entertained with
moving pictures and by vaudeville actors.
I'VE have no holidays in English
prisons he said. "and Sunday is the
prisoners hardest day, since there is no
work 10 break the monotony. The Sun
day dinner, too, is the worst OF the
week, because no cooking is done that
day. BY Jove. these prisoners are all
laughinG | am as delighted AS ! am
amazed"
Sir Arthur and Lady Doyle and William
]. Burns were guests OF Warden Clancy
at lunch. In honor OF Memorial Day
the workshops were closed. and the prs-
oners attended the concert in batcnes OF
500.
The cells. Sir Arthur said, were not half
the size OF those in English prisons, and
he was hardly able 70 believe that fire.
quently two prisoners have 70 occupy the
same cell. lie was also surprised to ind
that the prisoners dine together. In Eng
land the food OF the prisoners is pushed
in at the cell doors.
The visitors passed through the death
house and the electric chair chamber, but
gave no attention TO Becker. who ap-
peared to be buried in the gloomiest
thought. Mrs. Madalena Ferols, the
doomed Bronx woman, is said TO be the
calmest inmate the death house has ever
