WAYNE MacVEAGH

WAYNE MacVEAGH outlived an era,
w but he was conspicuously a pathfinder
for that deluge of progress which was
to pass him by To him the right of
citizenship meant something, and It
meant particularly independence of
thought and action. His mind was big
enough to break from the thraldom of
partisan ties. He could discard party as
he could a garment and he did it when
to his conscience such action seemed nee
essary. The clarity Of his thought was
phenomenal, but not more so than his
expression of it, He dropped casually
into the LEDGER Office one morning when
the subject under discussion by the ed-
tors was a certain proposed tax system
then before the public. With an intimacy
of knowledge unparalleled he launched
into consideration OF the history of
taxation from the dawn of civilization
to the present time, the theory and prin-
ciple OF it, tearing the proposed system to
shreds and tatters. 1t was an amazing
exhibition of knowledge He was one Of
the great Pennsylyanians OF his day, and
it may be doubted if any other equaled
him in sheer intellectual brilliancy,

infantie paralysis in the recent mumnners'
New Years parade. Where are the hearts
of the men who made that float? Where
are the hearts of the persons who gave
that permit? And where were the police
that they allowed the float to travel the
distance up Broad street? Did they not
realize that hundreds of persons who viewed
that parade had lost their dear little ones
or had them crippled for life by that awful
malady? Did they not think of the heart
they hurt or the pleasures they spoiled by
their thoughtlessness, for it could not have
been downright cruelty?
Is It any wonder that our institutions
are overcrowded with children when they
are held so lightly?
Let us hope in the future that 1t will not
be permitted to display such calamties in
such heartlcss and disgusting manner,
