of that kind. The reportorial and edi-

Will the experience of the legislator

If So and he should decide after a

may find himself the better qualified

journalism.
Some years ago there was a man
who tried both jobs at once. Amos
Cummings. who had distinguished
himself in New York journalism as a
reporter. was elected to the House.
and while. serving as member of that

report of its proceedings. Which of
his two jobs he liked best is not of

The Kaiserin's Funeral.

There is decided element of tragedy
in the death at Doorn Of the former
Empress Of Germany. A gracious
woman, who had no part whatever in
the shaping Of the policies that
brought about the great German crime
Of 1914. she was well beloved by her
own people and respected by those of
other lands. She maintained herself

der. proceeding. however, no further.
On the German side Of the boundary
the cortege will be met by other mem.
bers OF the family. A suggestion was
made that the kaiser be permitted to
return to Potsdam for the funeral only.
But this, however, has been wisely
vetoed. 1t would be a grave mistake
to allow any political aspect to be
given to the kaiserin's funeral, and
that would surely occur IL the former
emperor were to go to Potsdam, even
though he Immediately returned to
Holland. In the emotional stress of
death ana burial the German people

Bull Fighting.

The ancient and honorahle-and it
has often been called the nohle-sport
of bull fighting is in danger in Mexico.
1t has fallen into the hands of the
comedians. Recently a company of
clowns, has been giving entertainments
in the Mexican capital with a travesty
upon bull fighting that has highly
amused the populace. Then came a
company of women who put on a regu-
lar bull fight while the clowns were
pranking. Now the conservative are
raging. Is this venerable and digni-
fled sport thus to be degraded by the
intrusion into the ring of testers and
women? The thing is unspeakable.
Yet there it is.
Perhaps some day the people Of Mex
leo as well as those of Spain and other
bull fighting countries will see the
truth in respect to bull fighting, that
it is a brutal. cruel sport, inconsistent
with the modern spirit. 1t is just one
degree removed from the old gladia-
torial combats that delighted the an
cient Romans. The pittng of men
and animals is horrible thing to the
modern mind. however it delighted the
people of many centuries ago, and
still pleases those of certain lands
Maybe if the bull fight can be made a
joke it will lose it's prestige and grad
ually pass with other distro ssing, how
ever picturesque, relics of barbarism.

The Pistol Bill.

Already a bill to limit the pistol evil
has been introduced In the House. In
previous sessions measures of this
kind have been presented, without ac-
fion. Now it is to be hoped that en-
actment will follow. The evil lis I'M
mistakable. The present law. merely
Furnishing the carrying Of concealed
weapons, is ineffective. II can be en-
forced only by chance. through the
accidental detection uf weapons on the
persons of those who are arrested on
other charges. What is needed il a
law that goes at the root Of the evil
by making it more difficult, II not i'm
possible, for the criminally minded to
get weapons. The .Dlil introduced yes
terday provides stiff penalty for
the owning of firearms without per.
init. II makes it unlawful for any
person to own such a weapon in the
District of Columbia without the per.
mission OF the superintendent of DO
lice. who must be satIs%{ ON the
score Of the character anG .penda,i,.
fly of the applicant. But without a
further provision which puts penalty
upon the vendor who furnishes a
weapon to any one other than a per
nit holder the law would not be much
more effective than at present Only
by regulating the sale can this menace
lie lessened.

The Congressional Card and Debate

The day is fixed for vote on the
Colombian treaty. All other matters
on the congressional card will be open
to such debate as may he warranted
by their Importance
All are important matters. There
is not one that Congress could afford
to slight. or hurry through with. All
relate intimately to the, stabilization
of business and the restoration of good
times.
Everybody wants to see business
stabilized and good times restored. We
have had our fill. and more, Of insecur-
ity and uncertainty. The one upstand-
ing. outstanding consideration now is
getting back into the middle of the
road and going ahead.
The going will not be easy even
after we have hit the trail again. We
ought not to deceive ourselves on that
point. AS the result Of our Share OF
the world upheaval. we are heavily
loaded: and our load cannot be speedily
lightened. We must bear as well as
We may what is piled up until time
lightens it, Time alone can perform
that service.
Such situation admonishes against
undue haste. We must think out our
problems and watch our steps. A step
out of order and ill taken might be ex-
ceedingly expensive.
Neither should We adopt the snaifs
pace. We must get somewhere. and
with all the expedition that is safe.
Too much debate is no more to be
recommended than too little.
Fortunately, several matters on the
card have been under, consideration
and discussion informally for some
time. and need not occupy protraeted
attention after being formally taken
up.

April Freezes.

Let it be hoped that we have had
the last freeze. These sudden drops
in the temperature following the warm
weather Of March have been very hard

peratures of March rushed the buds.
Then on Easter Monday and again
since the thermometer has dropped

neighborhood of Cumberland it is esti.
mated that over $4,000, 900 worth of
fruit has been killed. All through
the Shenandoah valley the fruits have
been blighted to an untold extent. For

trees are planted in protected places

Throughout the winter. when the
temperature seldom fell to freezing
and virtually no snow was experienced,
the weatherwise declared that the
mildness of the season presaged a slow
and irregular spring. This forecast
has been verified. But it is now warm
ing up again, and while there is no
desire for ninety-degree days at pres
ent, it really looks as though the worst
had passed. Washington has not keen

The Matter of Taxation.

The Congress of the United States.
assembled for momentous special ses-
sion, has settled into its metaphorical
seat with the determination to accom-
plish a number of things. OF those
matters toward which it will direct
its earnest and immediate attention
two stand forth in the popular con
ception as of particular importance.
The one has to do with the determin-
ing and establishing of the position of
the United States among the nations
of the world. And the other concerns
the reorganiza ton of existing processes
of taxation. And while opinion con-
tinues to be broadly divided as to the
wise and eXpedient course in regard
to our future foreign relationship. on
the purely domestic question of taxa
tion the nation stands as whole be-
hind certain major demands.

the excess profits tax. which today
act as a set brake upon the wheels

these measures shall be of type pri-
mariy purposed to improve the de-
bilitated condition into which business
in general has fallen.
Many proposals have been advanced
for new forms of taxation which, while
meeting the above indicated require
ments, will. according to their several
proponents. furnish the huge sums
necessary to carrying out the business
Of the nation. OF these the one which
has perhaps particularly appealed to
the public is the so-called sales tax, in
one form or another. Al least two bills.
providing for such a tax, have al
ready been prepared-one in the
Senate and one in the House. The
measure of Senator Smoot, hailed by
its friends as probably the simplest
and most expeditions of sales tax pro-
posals, will, by virtue of those quail
tiles, appeal most strongly. In simple
terms Senator Smoot would levy a tax
of 1 per cent on the total value of all
goods. wares and mercha nGiise. whether
raw material or manufactured prod
ucts. at the time of the change of
ownership. 1t is claimed for his plan
that it provideS 2 maximum equality
OF effect upon the producer. the manu-
facturer, the merchandiser and the
consumer; and that, paying as he goes
along. the taxpayer will be but barely
conscious of the effect OF the impost.
1t is estimated that the measure will
yield a return Of $500 0.OOO, ,e00. to the
government and that no ultimate con-
sumner would as a result Of the tax
pay more than per cent increase over
the normal sales cost of his purchase.
Whether or not the plan of Senator
Smoot or some other form Of sales
taxation or an entirely different form
Of taxation is to be adopted it is
happy fact that the Legislative body of
the nation is fully alive to, the general
clamor for tax revision. The country,
while inclined to leave the determine.
tion Of details to Washington. stands
firmly on this demand: "RM us of ex.
cess profits levies and their like and
make the substitute easy to hear"

The Tariff as STEADY"

eighth Congress. The House was or

man of ways and means. A tariff
hill was reported. but decapitated un-
der the leadership of Samuel J. Ran
dali. a protection democrat.
Since then the issue has figured in
every congressional and every presi-
dental campaign. Mr.. Cleveland
pitched his second campaign on it, and
lost; his third on it. and won. Mr.,
Mckinley pitched his first campaign
on it, and won; and it was an asset
in his second campaign.
Mr.. Taft stressed the tariff in the
campaign of 1903. and won. He stood
for it again in 1912. but the division
in the republican party that year,
which grew out of Theodore Roose-
velt's desire to return to the White
House, subordinated the tariff in the
campaign.
But as soon as they took control on
Capitol Hill, and in the White House
the democrats put the tariff forward
and revised it according to the policy
they have ChampiOned for many
wears.
So here is the SiXty-seventh Con
gress-it is far cry to the Forty
eighth-organized with protectionist

And spoil the early budding flow'r:
That's how he demonstrates his pow'r.
He whistles meath both sun and moon.
1t Is wild discordant tune.
His audience must hear the lay
Because it cannot get away.
His voice will long remembered be,
Though dismal and all off the key,
When Zephyrs warm that cheer our lot
Have passed away and are forgot.
