On 8,5OO-Mile Trip

George Brown arrived here
Sunday evening and 1ectured in
the park Monday evening. He
says he is making an $500 mile
trip, to be completed within nine
years, on a $4,000 wager put up
by Henry LeGrace, of Montreal,
Canada. Upon his arrival here,
he had travelled $1,000 miles and
had been on the road for 1 years
and 20 days. He started from
Montreal, his tour being through
Canada, the United States, Mex
leo, Cuba and Africa. He went
from here towards Memphis. He
has visited thousands of towns,
securing at least five signatures
at every place he stops.
He walks an average of %
miles daily, his average step be-
ing 81 inches. His fastest time
was a mile in Z minutes. He has
worn out about So pairs of shoes.
While he has about five years in
which to complete the trip, he
expects to finish it in about half
that time. For every 25 miles he
walks on the railroad tracks, he
receives a credit of an extra 10
miles.
He is a strong, vigorous young
man, 5 feet and ~ inches tall,
and weighs 100 pounds. He is a
graduate of Boston University,
and speaks five languages. He is
a member of the w. o. W. and
Maccabee lodges, but is not per-
United to seek aid from them, al
though he started out without
money and must make his way
by lecturing, although he is al
lowed to give a history of his life
for any assistance received.
MI. Brown, who was born in
Providence R. L, started out with
a Frenchman and an Italian. The
Frenchman quit after II weeks.
and the Italian died in 1871 the
grand canyon in Arizona. Mr..
Brown killed a Mexican desper.
ado who attempted to hold him
UP near Tuscon, Ariz., and re-
ceived an 1864 reward which had
been offered for the Mexican.
The walk is being made as an
endurance test by Mr.. Brown,
who is an enlisted soldier in the
U. S. army, and he desires to
show that the eating of meat is
not necessary for a man under
going the hardships of a soldiers
life, and that the government
could make a radical saving by
greatly reducing the amount of
meat in the army rations. 1t is
for this reason he makes his own
way and sleeps out when he is
broke" He is a strict vegetar.
ian, has eaten no meat for seven
years, and has doctors certifi
Gates declaring him to be in the
best of health.
He writes daily to his parents
and keeps them informed of his
whereabouts snd progress.

LESS INCOME TAX RECEIPTS

When the first federal income tax collected last year with results disauuonting to the government .l supposed that there would an increase this year ewing to complete returns. preliminary sur yey of the returns by the treasury department ahov that there will really be fsllingon estimated from 20 to 50 per cent
 The original estimate of the proceeds from the tax was than lOOOOoOOO The amount collected last year covering the months of 1913 was $76OoC, 900 of which s45OOOOOO came fro interpretations and $3lOOOOOO from individuals
 The decrease is attributed solely to business de- presslon, and is striking reminder of the extent to which this nation is helping pay the of the ruin The fact that the farmngp population has de- rived considerable prosperity from prices doesn't change the figures much for few farmers make enough money in the best of times to them liable the income As for the industrial improvement caused lately by heavy buying of manufactured war supplies in this country, it will get the income rec ords until March
 There is satisfaction in the reflection that the pres year the very worst will be better than last year From present indications the income returns of 1916 will establish top record

SOWING THE SEEDS OF PEACE

The great opportunity Of America" says Jane Ad- dams lis to utilize the immigrant population to form
 humanitarian public sentiment so strong that it will make itself felt in the uttermos parts Of the earth"
 And according to Miss Addams own account of the prevalent attitude of the alien population Chicago it is easy to encourage such sentiment t already ex- ists to a surprising extent. When a Boy Scouts com pany organized in the poorer sections of the city the Russian Jews withdrew their boys and would have nothing do with it. because the trann seemed to havor slightly of militarism.
 We came to America" said the Russians to get rid of this miltarsm. We don't ant our boys contain mated with the military drill"
 We got one proof after another, adds Miss Ad- dams that the various peoples preiudced against militarism In this present realize that never before has the brutality war so revealed itself" And she concludes that now. while immigrants and ch dren of immigrants intensely intere,ted every phase of the European war we should take advantage of this opportunity to forge public opinion that will be much international than could be wrought by any other nation in the world"
 The schools particularly offer facilities for driving home the lessonu likely that the American public school properly and reutraly utilized for this purpose would prove to be the most powerful of all for the promotion of universal peace At least let have glorifcaton of war in the school

SURPRISING STATE REGULATION

Two new decisions of the United States supreme court deal another blow at the rights the ory which has caused endless and orderless meddng with interstate commerce.
 Every state in the Union has tried its hand at regu- ating the railroads often the conditions imposed have been unjust or confscatory usually they been wise because they have fitted into wellplanned scheme of law covering the whole connected field Of transportation
 In the cases in question West Virginia had fixed passenger two cents mile and North Dakota had fixed the freight rate for coal the former case the court held that state could consttutionay compel railroad "to carry passengers if not at or be- low cost with merely a nom nal reward" and in the latter 1t held that a state could not compel carrier "to transport commodity than the proper cost of transportation or virtually cost" The principle is the same in instances: railroad has right to fair profit on its business and no lawmaking body can annul that right
 Congress has delegated its control of inc railroads to the Interstate Commerce Commission, and that body is showing itself and careful recognize uis principle of right public utility corporation to reasonable profit The sooner the arc content to stop their unsystematc ragulauye eff orts and leave such the federal government in so far they be properly handled by the govern meut the sooner We shall have adjustment mutual, satisfactory to the railroads and Che public

THE CASE OF THE FRYE

The American people failed to take onense at the sinking of the two American vessels by mines in the North Sea They recognized that while Germany vas indirectly responsible for those losses they were accidental and perhaps inevitable results The owners had taken chance and the American govern ment which had insured the ships nothing do but pay the insurance. We had no case against Germany
 It is wholly different with the William p. Frye. Here was sailing vessel of the old Yankee clipper type once famous on every sea- Amercanbuit and American owned sunk while flying the American flag and carry ing noncontraband cargo And this is not accident ally in the confusion of a European but de lberaely by the captain of the German cruis- CT Prnz Eel Friedrich in the peaceful South Atlantic
 It appears to have been an almost unparalleled act of wanton destruction fragrant disregard of the rules Of international law It occurred Jan 2S before the German government had announced it's "war zone" block ade of Great Britain and before the belligerens had started their frenzed competition to cut off each others food supply The wheat with which the Frye laden was not contraband and so was legally liable to destruction or confscation But Capt Tierichens, on his own initiative declared it contraband was destined for British port and proceeded dump it into the sea wearying of this tedious method he 'hen expedited matters by taking off the and pas scufers and sinking the ship wheat and all
 This is an act of the sort That President Wiso in his note to Germany Feb. 10, described "an in defensible violation of neutral rights" and for which the United States be constrained to hold the I'm peral German government to a strict accountabnir,'
 This means that the German government must apoI cle the awless act Of naval representative and must compensate the owners of the ship and for their losses
