HUMOR DEFINED.
A Genealogy Beginning With Truth
as Traced by Addison.

To TIE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir:
am sending you literary gem have
treasured many years Some OF your
readers no doubt will recall 1t. but to the
majority OF them it will be new. 1, Is
The Genealogy OF Humor." by Joseph
Addison, and is as follows:
TT Is much easier to describe what
is not humor than what is: and very
difficult to define IL otherwise than as
Cowley has done It, by negatives Were
to give my own notions of It would
deliver them after Plato's manner, in a
kind OF anegory. and by supposIng hui
NOR to be a person, deduce TO him all
his qualifications according to the fol-
lowing genealogy:
Truth was the founder OF the family.
and the father of Good Sense. Good
Sense was the father Of Wit, who mar
RED a lady OF collateral line called
MIrth. by whom he has issue Humor
Humor, therefore, being the youngest OF
the illustrious family, and descended
from parents OF such different DISPOSE
tons, Is very various and unequal in
his temper; sometimes you see him put
ting on grave looks and a solemn habit,
sometimes airy in his behavior and fan
tastic in his dress: in so much that at
different times lie appears as serious as
n Judge and as tocular as a merry
andrew.
But as he has a great deal of the
mother in his constitution. whatever
mood he Is in he never fails TO make
his company laugh"

Mr.. Asquith would Ne welcome.

The London Erenine Eeps suggests
the Interesting possibility that Mr..
AsQUITH will be the next British Am
bassador to the United States, adding
that although Mr.. AsovrrH declined
an informal offer Of the post some
months ago his declination did not
preclude an acceptance later.
THE Sun cannot think of any Eng
lish statesman whose appointment
would be more fortunate for both of
the countries concerned. That Great
Britain would he sending as Ambas-
sador, for the first time In her his
tory, man who had been Primo
Minister would be only one feature
Of the event. Mr.. AsoUIrH Is a great
deal more than former Premier. He
is not only a statesman and a diplo-
mat, but he Is the greatest Liberal
that England has had since GLAD
STONES death.
We fancy that Mr.. AsoUIrH would
find life pleasant in this country,
where there was genuine regret that
his own country should have deprived
herself Of his services in the Govern
ment at the very time when Britain
needed statesmen of AsoUITH's cool
intellect and unyielding principle.
Over here we would look with inter
est upon the man who was able to
hold together in England's first hour
Of peril leaders Of types SO different
as were Sir EDWARD GREY, WINSTON
CHURCHILL and LLOYD GEORGE; and
who, although lacking In great mag
netism or oratory, possessed such pow
ers of Cancellation that he came
nearer to solving the Irish question
than any other statesman Of the pres
ent generation.

The "Lu1ury Taxes" Are On.

The Scotland Neck notion Of what
luxurics are will be brought home to
Americans to-day when the special
taxes go into effect.
Every woman knows that when she
goes to buy n Wilton carpet, perhaps
choosing it for Its general economical
value, she cannot get 1t at much less
than $40 yard. Mr.. KITcHIN and
his associates In the late Democratic
Congress decided that any carpet
costing more than IS a yard is a lux
ury. II Mrs. Knickerbocker buys
enough carpet at $40 a yard to At n
room fifteen by twelve she will have
to pay tax Of 80 cents a yard, or $40
all told.
Every woman knows that in the
present state of shoe prices it is i'm
possible for some women to buy their
particular kinds Of shoes for less than
S12. But every woman, or man, who
pays more than $40 for pair Of shoes
will pay tax Of 10 cents on every
dollar paid in excess Of $40.
There are many men who have worn
the same brand and style Of hat since
early manhood, perhaps a derby that
used to sell for IS, but which now
costs So. The man who pays SO for a
hat must pay luxury tax" Of 80
cents, the Kitchinites having decided
that only the rich, worthy of being
gouged, would pay more than IS for
hat. The tax hits waistcoats in the
same measure. II Mr. Knickerbocker
wishes to indulge in ten dollar whist
coat with his dinner clothes he must
hand over half dollar to the Treas
ury for having the pleasure. II he Is
so fat that a five dollar ready made
waistcoat will not fit him he must
suffer for his sins.
The shoppers who have not followed
the Kitchln schemes for taxing every.
thing-that is, everything north of
Mason and Dixon's Llne-will prob
| ably be surprised to-day when they
bump into the taxes In the stores, all
the way from the soda fountain TO
the trunk department. Let them be
patient when the salesman tells them
Of the 10 per cent. added to the old
price. 1t isn't his fault, nor the fault
Of his employer, who has to employ
more bookkeepers to keep track Of the
taxes. 1t is the fault of Mr.. WusoS's
late Congress. 1t is an evil which must
be endured at least until the new
Congress is called into session.

Adriatic IL never safe, never will be.
In any hands but Italy's.
Senator LODGE refers to our insist
cnce that the mouth of the Mississippi
could not be In the hands Of amy other
nation without making that nation
our enemy. We have made the Gulf
Of Mexico and the Caribbean little
more than American lakes; yet neither
Of these Is so vital to our safety or
so intimately bound to us in history
and tradition rs Is the Adriatic lit
toral to Italy.
To settle this question Of Fiume in
any other than the way satisfactory
to both Fiume and Italy is simply not
to settle 1t at all. 1t Is to leave it
unsettled and an Invitation for trou-
bles that the future will find abso-
lutely inevitable. And Of course, like
all the worlds troubles of the glori-
Gus future which the League Of Ma
lions will usher In, they will be Amer
ica's troubles quite as much as any
body's else.

q On the Trail of the Assassins.

1t is 4 national sensation-thanks
20 far to the scrutiny of the postal
officials it is not national tragedy
that thirty-six, perhaps more, bombs
have gone into the United States
mails aimed by assassins at the lives
OF citizens whose deaths under any
circumstances would be loss to the
+, world, and who are bound together
1only by the fact that they stand for
the defence and preservation Of the
Government under which We live.
sss If a single one Of these lives had
been sacrificed by such damnable
Means, If single other life should
he, thus sacrificed, the American peo-
pie would never rest content until the
savhole tribe responsible for such das-
tardly assassination should be not
merely punished but exterminated.
sr,1The American people are the peo-
pie who will surely do this job with a
Vengeance.
