Piling Up Direct Taxes

The government is hunting for
something like a hundred millions
more revenue with which to meet the
additional expense of an enlarged
navy and army. 1t cannot be denied
that at least that much will be re-
quired if the defense plans are TO be
at all adequate and retrenchment in
other matters to not to be enforced.
Nobody talks of retrenchment. All
the administration officials are for
more taxation, and the secretary of
the treasury puts out suggestions
which are wholly in the line Of the
democratic policy of raising revenue
from direct taxation of our own peo-
Pile instead of getting it through the
custom houses, where it would not be
felt. Not only are the temporary in
ternal taxes imposed last year to be
retained, but more are to be added
and income taxes are to be increased
There is no doubt that if the Re
publican tariff rates were now in ef-
feet the government would have q
surplus of revenue in spite of reduced
imports. But the administration fore.
ed a reduction all around and enlarged
the free list. Who in this countr!
has been benefited? Are purchase:
made any cheaper than they were be
fore? Has the cost of living beer
reduced? Have any of the wildly
promised results been realized?
The whole effect has been to de
plete the government revenues, profit
the foreign manufacturer, and to i'm
pose upon the people the democratic
system of direct taxation; and as Ions
as democratic laundering prevails We
can have nothing to expect but more
of it.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Women in Mississippi Getting in Line.

A meeting has been held i'll Nerd
ian, Miss, to launch a Woman Suf-
frage club. One of the most crafty
ing things about the growth OF Sui
frage sentiment in the Southern states
to the women of the country working
for the suffrage cause is the admir-
able stand taken almost without eN-
ception by the papers OF the Sunny
South. The Meridian Star in an able
editorial apropos of the launching OF
new suffrage organization states:
1--WE wish to call the attention of
those promoting this movement to
one thing in particular; tho fact that
the privilege the women of Mississippi
and many other parts of the world afe
seeking, that OF casting ballots, does
not carry with it the obligation to
vote if they do not care to do so. Thls
! is a point that many advocates OF
woman suffrage have overlooked and
opponents have consistently tailed to
notice" Suitra&ists from Maine to
California will agree with this plain
exposition Of fact by the editor of the
Star. too long disresarded. and Will
be gratiiied by the fair and square
position taken by the Meridian Star
and other Southern journals on the
question of suffrage.

TT IS doubtful if the bordered ma
terial were ever so varied or 80
4 beautiful as they are this season
and that is true in spite OF the shortage
of imported stuffs. Taffeta is pro-
nounced favorite and the bordered
taffetas are exquisite and they are
not aggressive, but they show stripes
in wonderful colors and often the
designs are not more than one ana
one-half inches in width. They are
perfect for the Aounced skirts that will
be so much worn and that are alto
eether most attractive. Under the
conditions there will inevitably be
limited supply Of lace, consequently
trimming Of materials and all the TRIM
,nings that can be accomplished by
the needle, embroidery, braiding, beads
used with good effect, scallops and the
like are conspicuous. The coming sea-
son might indeed be called the needle
won1an's season for it offers one ex-
ceptionaI opportunity and the home
dressmaker who is skilful will be able
to accomplish most desirable results.
Scallops are being used not alone to
finish the edges. but they are applied
over plain materials and cords, pipings.
ruches and all trimmings that can be
made of material are being extensively
employed.

succession Of :rows,s and scallops are
put to similar uses upon gowns OF
