The editors of Life" a magazine
published in New York. have sent a
marked copy of their journal to a
number of weekly newspapers in
Kentucky. including The Herald.
The editorial marked is as follows:
Our friends down South, being
sure that the Negroes are inferior.
deny them advantages and provide
inferior schools for Negro children
in order that they will continue to
be inferior. and thus prove the cor
retness of the contention of the
scientists and sentimentalists that
the Negro is inferior. After all,
there is nothing quite so satisfying
as the feeling that you have got
things fixed so that you will always
have en- inferior race in your mind"
This is slanderous charge
brought against the good people of
the South. who have been the best
friends the negro ever had. There
is here no organized or concerted
effort TO keep the negro down, and
this insinuation contained in the
above quoted paragraph is as false
as IL is uncalled for.

Irwin Cobb, the noted newspaper

meeting OF the guild in New York
recently, that an editor or writer

words, he may have a little natural

to write, but in order to be of ac-
count in the profession he must. by
very hard work. equip himself for
success. In the minds OF almost ev-

entirely right. Success comes only

No truly patrioticAmerican wants
cur country to be tangled up with
the war in Europe. Yet there are
some newspapers that, purely TO,
political purposes, are trying to dis
credit President Wilson's admins
tration in such a way as to make
European nations think We have a
very inefficient man as our National
Executive and that about half the
people here are opposed to his pol
icies and the party power which he
represents. Already there are ru-
nors In Europe that our President
would not be backed up by his peo-
pie were he forced to take an ag-
gressive stand in the war premises.

The principles of a political party
are its very life, its basic super
structure. Without plainly defined
principles no party can well exist,
anyhow not for long. These princi-
pies may at periods undergo slight
changes TO keep pace with current
history. but the basic ideas should
be preserved. Candidates who run
upon a party platform are merely
its prospective agents, pledged to
carry out it's edicts. Candidates be-
ing so much in the minority, the
platform should be the will and
work of the voters. Therefore the
platform should come before the
voting takes place. No bunch of
candidates are greater than their
party.

The proposition that the state
should establish still another normal
school ought to be defeated in the
Legislature. This state now has plen-
ty of normal schools, many more
than most states have, more in fact,
than has any other state in the I'M
ion, and there is little reason or ex-
cuse for establishing another at
this time. The state now has three
uncompleted normals, including those
at Lacrosse and Eau Claire and the
rebuilding of the normal at Super
ior, burned about a year ago. There
was considerable criticism, perhaps
justified, of the extravaganza of the
legislature in authorizing the last
previous normal, that at Eau Claire,
and there would certainly be reason
for a tremendous protest if another
was authorized to be established, at

State Income Tax

The Chicago Herald criticises edi-
torially the Wisconsin income tax
law on account of the low income
which it reaches with. taxation. The
exemption for an unmarried person
is only $500. 1t points out an in
stance of an invalid widow at Fond
du Lac, Wis, with an income Of
over $500 who has to pay income
tax, although, on account of the ex-
penses of her illness, she finds it
very difficult to meet her expenses.
The Herald says:
LAS to the justice and equity of
a law that takes toll of the income
of an invalid widow above $500,
though her letter shows that it can
not be much above, the Herald has
an opinion which moves the men
who make this newspaper to wish
consin."
We know of income tax paid here
in Superior where the payer had no
expensive habits, was not sick, and
had a steady moderate income, but
could not have been buried except
by charity if he had fallen dead, with
no expense of illness, while paying
his tax The Herald evidently sees
the injustice of such a law. The per-
son with an income of a little more
than $500, and who has no property,
suffers injustice by this tax-Super-
ior Telegram.
The Telegram is very solicituous
for the poor widow with an income
above $500 year" It's sympathy
had better be spent on the hundreds
of poor widows" who have to strug
gle hard each year to pay their tax
es and who lack great deal of
having the comfortable income of $40
a month or more to provide for their
various wants 1t had better save a
few of it's tears for the workingman,
too, with half that income, a fam
lily to support, and taxes to pay on
his home and everything else in
sight that belongs to him, without
any exemption whatever
We dare say that three widows
out of four would be only too glad
to have an income on the excess
of which over $500 a year they
would have to pay a tax

THE BOWMAN ENTERTAINMENT


The character portrayals enter
tainment at the Congregational
church Friday night, under the man
agement Of the Lecture Course, was
quite largely attended and the audi
ence seemed to enjoy greatly the
eloquence, pathos and humor of the
different types represented.
When it comes to personality OF
his own, Mr.. Bowman doesn't seem
to have any; or if so, it is as change
able as the chameleon. A little
grease paint, wig, beard and costum-
ing-which he was able to make use
of, in the presence of the. audience,
with Incredible rapidity-was suffi-
cient to transform him into such dia-
metrically opposite characters as the
German-brogue, "spread-eagle" ora
tor, the "Tinkerville", Ind, farmer
describing his experience with the
city Turkey Bath, the aesthetic
Professor DunWeary", the Italian
laborer defending his dog, and the
distracted Shylock in search of his
stolen daughter.
His command of the various emo
tons seems equally masterful; and
if, in the phrase of Byron, man be
a pendulum betWixt smile and
tear, Robert O. Bowman is certain
ly in the secret of the spring by
which the pendulum is moved.
