The carelessness of danger which
characteriZes certain soldiers does not
always extend to the persons about
them The French marshal Bugeaud
was once debating very near a battle
field a letter to his secretary.
AS the general spoke the words of
his letter a bomb from the enemy's
camp fell just in front of the door of
the tent. The general went on talking,
but the secretary seized his paper and
half rose from his seat.
why are you stopping?" asked the
marshal.
"The bombv gasped the secretary.
Have I said anything about a
bomb?"
''No-but-the bomb-the bomb!'
Nov, what" said the marshal i'm
patiently. has the bomb got to do
with the letter 1 am debating to you?

In ORDER to show how slow, ineffi-
cient and costly governmental action is
we quote the following from the Wall
Street Journal as typical illustration:
''Not because it is singular, or even
unusual, but because it is typical, the
case of the Eureka Nevada railway in
its relations to the United States pos
tai department may be brif1y stated.
The taxpayer can draw his own moral.
This little narrow-guage railroad, that
has been through receivership twice
in the past fifteen years, runs for 81
miles between Palisade, New, and
Eureka. 1t makes the distance in
eight hours. Paralleling the railroad is
a mule conveyance which carries the
United States mail three times a week
at an annual cost of $500 The rail-
road has offered to carry the mail on
this and another route daily at net
saving of 81, 500 a year. AS the mules
take thirty three hours and the railroad
can convey the mails twice as often in
eight, the taxpayer is being fined the
sum of 81, 500 year, while the inhabi-
tants of the district served are denied
a service 300 per cent more efficient.
The defense of the postoffice official
that under existing statutes the post
office cannot pay the railroad more
than 81, 795. This arbitrary interpreted
ton of the law seems absurd where
mule driver can exact three times the
amount. Apparently the squeezing of
the railroads over the mail contracts
has become so much matter of habit
and custom that a contract made in
common honesty seems impossible.

Direct Taxation.

''The blessings of direct taxation
have been extolled by PROFESSIONAL econ
omists, by political free-booters, and
by radical demagogues, or demagogic
radicals, to such an extent, as TO in
veigle the people into belief that it is
the fairest and most equitable way of
distributing the burdens for the sup
port of government. In theory 1t
sounds enticing, like all theories that
play to the galleries. Enticing because
it involves on the surface the PROPOSE
ton of striking your neighbor, who
may be better off, little harder than
yourself. 1t appeals to the imagination
when tOngue-glfted agitator roars
from the platform that the well-to-do
classes should be made to bear a larger
proportion of the burden for the main
tenance Of our government, which could
be done only by the inquisition and
practice of direct taxation. Make the
other fellow pay more, and II possible
all, is very ringing appeal to the pop
ulace.
Well, this appeal has been needed in
our country by the attempt of the
present administration to carry out the
popular mandate Of direct taxation.
We have he'd taste of it in the income
and stamp taxes, which, however,
seem to have produced such sourness
as to turn the StOmachS OF the people.
The income tax was supposed to strike
the wealthy people good and hard, and
so it did, but it did not bring the eX-
pected relief. For it is too discrimin-
atory to be thoroughly effective. 1t
struck only a small section of the
country, only comparatively limited
class and did not embrace everybody
who could contribute his mite, thus up
setting the principle upon whic h direct
taxation is based, namely, that every
body in order to appreciate the bene-
fits of government should be made to
share directly in the means OF its sus-
tainance. But it was the stamp tax
which touched the small man directly
that has aroused the revolt against dl-
rect taxation to fever heat.
A direct tax moreover is nantes
tation of the perpetual presence and
attendance of the government in your
private affairs. 1t acts as a clog on
the freedom of action by the sub-con-
scious knowledge of the overlordship Of
the government, which at any moment
may lay it's hands on you for any care
less or Incidental infraction of the law.
The red tape which encircles the direct
tax is like the terrifying sword OF
Damocles. The people are weighed
down, the more just now by this ap-
pressive feeling, because they never
| experienced the over-awing govern
mental supervision when the govern
| ment subsisted chiefly on indirect taxa
ton. In these small matters the rad.
ical difference of direct and indirect
taxation demonstrates itself forcibly
The starting and startling revolt against
direct taxation is therefore not sur
prising.-U. S. Tobacco Journal.

THE home rule and taxpayers league
is preparing to give dinner in honor
of former Gov. William D. Hoard. 1t
is the desire of the league to honor the
veteran statesman, journalist and pub
licist as arnold and distinguished citi-
zen of the state and recognition of the
eminent public services which have
made him conspicuous among the build
ers of the commonwealth This pur-
pose has been made known to him, and
a feature of the occasion will be an adj
dress by the ex-governor in which I'M
doubtedly he will give expression to
views on public affairs of immediate
interest to the people of the state.
The dinner is not to be of the elaborate
order but rather one of democratic
simplicity in the old fashioned and pop
ular sense of the term. Besides many
prominent men who are expected to at
tend, including Gov.-elec Philip,
there are to be present numerous rep
resentative business and professional
men and farmers, and it is anticipated
that localities all over the state will be
represented. Several other ex-gov-
errors besides Mr.. Hoard will undoubt-
edly be present.

Gov. COLQUITT- of Texas expresses
his complete disgust with the present
administration management Of the
Mexican affairs, besides charging the
president with an attempt to vindicate
an obsolete theory of political economy
and has mighty near ruined the coun-
try in doing it.. He charges the ad-
mlnistration with encouraging one gang
of bandits after another, while people
were being butchered all over Mexico,
and while the vast American interests
in that country were being confiscated
and shot to pieces, and today the MeXi-
can chaos is worse than at any time
since Madero was assassinated. Our
government has kept England and Ger
many from restoring order in Mexico
and itself has done nothing but con-
tribute to the disorder and lawless-
ness by the watching and waiting"
policy. The property interests of Mex
leo and the big American eXploiters of
Mexican resources have got control of
the situation absolutely and these same
interests have got the ear of our gov
eminent at Washington. 1.-THE ad-
ministratiOn's tariff law was pledged
to lower the cost of living and has had
the contrary effect. The administra-
TONS antitrust laws are bare-faced
fakes, so far as protecting the people
from trust oppression is concerned.

THIS nation as a whole, and almost
every state in it-this ore not excepted
suffers from too much law making.
Senator Root told the American Bar
Association that in five years from 1909
to 1913 inclusive, congress and state
legislatures passed 62,O14 laws. No
one knows how many thousands of
laws were in force before 1909, but the
62, O14 new ones repealed many of those
previously in force, and amended many
more, with no end of resulting cOnfus-
ion. Relatively few of the laws are
vicious enough to work direct harm,
but hundreds of them are harmful in
directly, for they are unnecessary, in
consistent, and impossible to enforce.

1T MUST be apparent to all citizens
observes the Madison Democrat, that
the Wisconsin compensation law leads
to the greatest absurdities and to mon
strous injustices. 1t makes the limo
cent responsible for the conduct of the
guilty The most scrupulous employer
may have imposed upon him heavy fl
nancial impositions in cases where en-
ployes are injured wholly and COM
pletely by reason of their own fault.
The whole system is based upon a
wrong principle-that the innocent
must suffer for the derelictions of the
guilty. How preposperous would we
deem law to be under which a father
could be sent to prison for the criminal
conduct of his son? Yet, is not that
the exact principle which is the very
kernel and core of this compensation
act? The next Legislature has no duty
before it more important than ration
al modification Of this harsh, radical,
unjust act-to forbid its execution in
any manner whatever to the detriment
of employers where they are innocent
of any shortening in connection with
accidents that may occur. In its pres
ent form it is outrageous both in it's
possibilities and in the actual results
which it has given.

THE supreme court will doubtless
have chance to pass upon the corrupt
practices law, following a decision of
Judge Grimm on Saturday at Jefferson
where he held as unconstitutional that
portion of the law which provides that
candidate alleged to have violated a
certion provision of the act shall be
tried by the court without a jury. The
decision was rendered with reference
to case pending in Dodge county
where the newly elected district attor
ney is charged with violation of the
corrupt practices act and which, if
sustained, would result in declaring his
election void and making him ineligible
forever after to any Office candidates
for which We're voted for at that cleo
ton. The defendant demurred to the
complaint upon the ground that the law
which deprived him of his constitu-
tional right of trial by jury was void.
The court in brief opinion sustained
this view, holding that the constitu-
tional guaranty applies to all issues
where the right of jury trial existed
under the common law; that issue in
the case involved the defendants title
to the office to which he has been prims
facia elected; that under the common
law such issue was triable by jury
and that the legislature has no power
to deprive the defendant of his consti
tutional right of trial by jury.

she adds "The possibilities for women in the business and manufacturing fields nmtess"
 But Captain Rosae, whether or not always logical is always interesting. Hear her further as quoted in the New York World:

There is nothing creative in mending a torn apron There is no originality no individuality in darn ing socks

 Although firm believer in economic independence for women am inclined to think Captain Rosale's ar gument in this case a little weak Her personal bent be engineering and its thoroughly commenda- ble her to have the courage of her convictions to break with her traditions and take it up But to many women there may be exactly as much creative joy in mending apron there is Miss mend ing broken automobile And who would mend the aprons if all women went in for monkey-wrenches?
