The dance craze has been worth
S5O,OO0000 to the hotel and restaurant
business, according to prominent
hotel man, who was chuckling yes
terday over the news that the Wal
dorf-Astoria was about to open a
tango garden on its roof, says the New
York Tribune.
1t is curious that, in the midst of all
the gossip about the fortunes scooped
UP by the agile footed professional
dancers this season and the proud
autobiographies of erstwhile bank
clerks and stenographers who have
danced their way from SIS to $500 a
week, there has been little mention of
the millions that the revival of dane
ing has meant to the places where the
people dance.
Louis Fischer, the man who intro-
duced the dansant to this country via
Reisenweber's smiled complacently
when he was informed of the financial
enormity of his deed
II could not tell the exact amount
of money the tango has been worth
TO me-" he said, but l do know that
it is the best thing that ever happened
to the hotel business. Formerly the
restaurant was place to eat; now IL
is place in which to be amused.
The old prim American idea of a
dinner party was a solemn conclave
around the family board followed by
an hour of the family bored in the
drawing room. Nobody ever heard of
going to a restaurant for dinner I'M
less the cook had eloped. Today
everybody simply must dance, and one
cannot dance at home.
1T has been said that people do
NOT eat 0111ch in tho MI
as they used to. 1t is true that peo-
pie take much longer for their din
ner now than they used to because
they are all the time jumping UP to
do tango between courses. What
they omit from the bill in the way of
solid food, however, they make up in
drinks.

CROKER AND MURPHY.

The report that Croker is to return to New York
to fight Murphy may be taken with large grain of
salt 1t is well known that Croker does not approve
of the policy of his the Tammany
chief but, he announced long ago, he is out of
politics
Nor is it reasonable to believe that Croker could
invoke much of the personal power he welded when
he ruled Democratic politics in New York. and he has
been long away that he is known only by name to
the younger element All his old power now belongs
to Murphy

AUTO BUSES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.

The thrifty local school boards in country dis
tricts in South Jersey must gasp when they learn
that the school children of West Orange to ride
to and from school every day in auto buses pro-
vided by the district.
. Not long ago the Changers in South Jersey were
up in arms against the State law which compelled
the country school districts to provide transportation
for their school children and against other benefits
of the law. They demanded the repeal of this OBJ
noxous law. They had other uses for their farm
wagons. And right top of their protests urban
school district provides auto busses for transportation
and thinks nothing of the expense.

Danger in Hasty Reforms.

Societary wrongs are deeply en-
bedded in law and tradition, and
therefore they are not easily righted.
So it is wisdom to go slowly, even
when going in the right direction,
lest, stumbling, progress befretarded.
Reformers should try to avoid the
waste of haste.

The Hardness of Water.
! the American Maonzinp

II lOih inc <ahtiiNdu
Here is a fact which is probably
novel to the average man who has
not spent mach of his life thinking
about motor speed boats. This is what
we may call the hardness of water
when boat is running at speed. Wa
ter at fifty miles an hour is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
battle in. If you put your arms over
board from a hydroplane running at
fifty miles an hour and strike a wave
crest the probability is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape,
and striking it is like striking so
much metal.
In the great hydraulic mining
nozzles, where stream of water I'M
der enormous head is used to wash
down hillsides, swordsman, in at
tempting to cut into one of these
streams, will shatter the sword with
out being able to penetrate the water.

Gifted Burdens

The camel at the close of day,
Kneels down upon the sandy plain
To have his burden lifted off
And rest again.
My soul thou too shouldst TO thy knees
When daylight draweth TO close,
To have thy Master lift the load
And grant repose.
The camel kneels at morning dawn
To have his guide replace the load
Then rises up anew, to take
The desert road.
So shouldst thou knee at morning dawn,
That God may give thee daily care,
Assured that He no load too great
Will make thee bear

No Fear of Plague.

From the New York World.
Commendable is the calmness Of
New Orleans in facing an invasion by
bubonic plague and the readiness Of
the local and state authorities to CO.

1t is only half dozen years ago that
San Francisco foolishly adopted a
policy of concealment in a similar
case and was forced in the end 10

youth, not yet of voting age, who can
remember the cruel, costly and futile
shotgun quarantine against yellow
fever. which readily yields to more
scientific measures. The plague is
surely no more dangerous 1t is in
its true bubonie form very little in
fectious. the bacillus is easily killed
by heat and germicides; 1T thrives
only upon filth and malnutrition; and
whether or not the lymph treatment
is perfected, the disease gives up to
wise sanitary precautions.

The stream is like a bar of iron. The
fact that water at relative speed is
so hard-or that its inertia is so great
to be a little more accurate-is the
reason why a skipping stone travels
over the surface, and is the reason
why hydroplane boat slides over the
surface instead of blowing its way
through.
The picture we must have in our
minds, then, of a speed boat is that
it is travelling not in water, as we
ordinarily understand it, but over the
surface of semi-solid, very much as
a sled travels over snow. The hard
ness of water at fifty miles an hour
we might compare with the hardness
of cheese-at. rest.

PROPOSAL SUBMITTED.

I
by law. shall be equal and uniform.
Taxes shall be levied on such in
tangible subjects and in such manner
as shall be prescribed by general law
Tangible property shall be deemed
to consist of all forms of property
except money, having a physical ex-
istence, together with the right to
use and operate the same All other
property, including money and cred
its, shall be considered intangible.
The legislative assembly and the
people through the initiative shall
have power to impose specific taxes,
inheritance taxes and income taxes
In such manner and to such extent
under uniform rules, as shall be pre-
scribed by general law.
In explanation of the move, Mr..
Strain said:
Our constitution was made half a
century ago. Since then a new set
OF economic conditions have arisen.
As a consequence our tax laws are
suited only to the assessment of ply
| tSldlG,
livestock and the like. For this rea.
son our constitution should be 80
amended as to permit the creation of
laws suited to the taxation of the in
tangible forms of property which
have been brought into being through
modern business methods.
There Is nothing in this proposed
amendment which can take away
from any local government the tax
able property on which 1t mainly re-
lies for support. Neither Is there
danger that laws which could be
formed under this amendment would
discriminate against any particular
section of the state.
| AS You know l do not have in mind
any program further than to secure
the amendment. After that 1 believs
that the people through the leglsla-
ture or the initiative will be sure to
improve the present unsatisfactory,
inequitable methods of taxing intan-
gible property.
This fact should always be kept
in mind in connection with the tax
alton OF any form of liquid capital.
II can be carried to whatever taxing
Jurisdiction the owner chooses. while
real estate can not. Land must stay
just where nature created 1t. Our
laws now reach real estate and most
other physical property pretty we'll
But they are not capable OF dealing
justly or effectively with intangible
property. Until some such amend
ment as this shall be adopted our tax
laws can never be much improved in
this respect.
The subject Of the amendment was
discussed informally yesterday and
upon motion OF G. NJ. Rice was re-
ferred to the board Of managers fol
