Why Payment at the Source 2

ISOLATION.
More than $4,000, 100000 Of Ameri-
can wealth consists of personal prop
erty. Most of it escapes taxation OF
every kind. The nation has not here
tofore attempted to reach 1t. The
States have always failed to uncover
it. As Mr.. Hull explains, the State
of Kentucky has a larger revenue
from it's dog tax than from the levy
that it makes upon bank deposits
known to exceed S133, 0o0,0 600.
There are thousands of Americans
residing abroad who receive great in

which they formerly paid no direct
taxes. Payment at the source sub

residents and presidents to equi-

thermore, by this system public bur

very largely upon elements of the
population least able to bear then
have now been transferred to some
extent to those who by every con-
sideration Of right and justice should
lend hand.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Man Who Suggested Fremont for President

samuel J. Tuden was the subtlest
politician with whom I have ever had
personal acquaintance, but l learned
while serving as the judge who pre-
sided over the trial of William NJ.
Tweed that his political gifts tor or
eanization and for leadership were
really supplementary to wonderful
intellectual capacity he had for
analysis, and fer marshaling facts so
as thoroughly to assimilate them and
obtain their meaning"
This statement was made 70 me by
the late Judge Noah Davis, who in
his day was as influential a politician
as any Of his generation in New York,
having served as q member OF Con-
gress and as United States district
attorney under President Grant fer
the district Of which New York city
is q part. Judge Davis was beaten for
the United States Senate in the mid
sixties by Roscoe Conklin, although
by the narrow margin of two votes.
In his long service upon The Supreme
Court bench. he tried many cases Of
national interest, including the prose-
cution of William NJ. Tweed and that
OF Edwin s. Stokes for the murder of
James Fisk. At the time when Judge
Davis made the remark quoted abo g
20 me he was chatting renniniscentiy
about some Of the distinguished
Judges of New York State who had
been prominently associated with ina
portant national politics.
''T never think OF Samuel J. TIL

about the ability of the young Re

There were a good many confer

nent as Democrats, and some others
who had broken away from the
democratic party on the slavery is

"One name after another was dis
cussed with reference to the question
of availability. 1t seemed to be the
general impression that the Demo-

is attributed usually to the amount
of physical suffering and mental an
guish she experienced after her mar
riage. Her greatest desire was to
have an heir to succeed her, but not
one of her children was sturdy enough
to i've. When the last hope died in
infancy even the French court went
into mourning, and there was univer-
sal sympathy for the disappointed
mother
There probably never was a ruler
of England who took less interest in
the arts which usually thrive under
royal patronage. She found no d.
version in plays, and was never seen
in a theatrs in her life. Music she
dispised so that she had never heard
her own official band or court orches-
tras. Books did not interest her, and
she would have none of the society
of men of letters. Art likewise fai ed
to delight her. and not even jewelry
gave her pleasure. English Queens
usually like dogs, but it is said that
the spaniel keeper, who had been SO
busy during the reign OF Mary's
father, found nothing to do during
her reign. About the only thing she
did enjoy was driving, and during her
later life she was so enormously stout
that she had to have a specially con-
structed carriage to drive in.

The Simple Truth About PindeiI.
From the Springfield Republican.
Mr.. Pindell, Of Peoria. is unques-
tionably fit to be ambassador to Rus
STA, and the last bit of convincing ev-
idence in his most excellent and adj
mirable letter to the President de-
clining the nomination, which the
Senate has unanimously confirmed.
An ideal nomination it was not; Ii
was, for all that, better than the av-
erage nomination to such posts. The
average American ambassador for
years past has had million a year
of private income to spend, but he
has had no previous diplomatic ex-
perience. Mr.. Pindeh had no million
a year. He was nothing but a West
ern editor and nothing whatever OF a.
snob. But he was a public-spirited
and intelligent student OF affairs, en-
tirely capable Of as good service at
st. Petersburg as three-quarters OF
the men this country has sent to rep
resent 1t at that capital in the past
quarter Of a century. We have heard
that q former American ambassador
to a European court remarked after
an interview with Mr.. Pindell: 1.-THE
newspapers have been abusing that
man
The Pindell case has u humorous
SIDE. It began absolutely as a Bryan
hunt. The name Of Pindell was
quaint, and it was unknown to the
eastern editors who chase the secre-
tary OF state with broken crockery.
Bryan was then being attacked for
debauehing our diplomatic service,
and il was promptly assumed that
Pindell, the Obscure" Illinois editor,
was one of Rryan's old pals, for whom
the arch spokesman CT the Wilson adj
ministra ton was finding a place in
payment Of old political debts. Such
chance to nail Bryan had not be-
fore been offered.
Further embarrassment came when
it was demonstrated that Mr.. Pin
dell had for years in Illinois politics
been an anti-Bryan man, that the Sec
rotary had no possible personal inter
est in the nomination. and that the
President himself was solely respon-
sible for the choice. When the SEN
ate. after an investigation. unani-
mously confirmed the appointment,
every one seemed to be trying to for
get the case. The whole thing had
so fiattened out that MIR. Pindell could
have started for st. Petersburg with
out hearing another single squawlz
about the debauchery OF our diplo-
matte service by Bryan.
