A TAX ON INSTRUCTION.

The Underwood Tariff bill. passed
early In the Wilson administration.
imposed an ad valorem duty of 25 per
cent on scientific Instruments, micro
scopes. etc. with the privilege Of free
admission for these articles for tho
use of educational institutions.
The Fcrdney Emergency Tariff law.
passed during the Harding administra-
tion, increased this duty 10 81 per
cent and abolished the free admission
Of Instruments for educational insti-
tutions.
The pending F'ordney- -McCumber
Tariff bill. over which the Republican
Senate is now wrestling so desperately
increases this duty to SIS per cent, and
makes no provision for the free ad-
mission Of instruments ordered for
the use of educational institutions.
It is difficult TO find good reasons
for any kind Of duty on these instru-
ments for the advancement Of science
and certainly the moderate duty OF 2s
per cent carried by the Underwood
law was sufficient. while the privilcSc
Of free admission extended 10 edu-
cational. institutions was an aid &c
scientific instruction.
The increase OF duty by the Ford
! ney bnl. and the abolition of the free
privilege 10 educational institutions
were acts OF gross injustice. And now
the duty is to be Increased to more
than twice the limit of the Underwood
! law. Thus are the interests Of the
people served by high tariff taxation

OFFICIAL TAX DELINQUENTS.

A correspondent OF the Dover In
dex, alluding to the item OF uncol-
lected taxes in Kent county at pres
ent-something not heretofore known
under the efficient administration the
people of Kent county hsve enjoyed
through agencies of the Democratic
party of the past two years-inquires
IL II is not a fact that an official who
receives a salary OF $1,000 n year from
the Kent county administration is one
of the delinquent taxables. The oor-
respondent answers his question in
the affirmative, and says the delin-
quent official is a Republican.
In these instances. however. the po-
litical opinions OF the delinquent
should not be taken into considera-
ton. He should be compelled to sum-
marily meet his tax obligations or
ItslEi MS oii'Np-
No official on tho public pay roll
should be allowed to become n delin-
quent taYable. All citizens should be
required to pay promptly. but 1t is an
insult as we'll as an injury when mon
who make their living from the pub
lie service are dilatory In contributing
to the public fund from which their
salaries are drawn. II Is an impu-
dent imposition which should not be
tolerated by any community.
| Recent revelations have shown that
the city of Wilmington is afflicted
with delinquent taxables who hold
public positions, and recently some
what furtive effort was started FOR re
moving this evn influence. How il
has succeeded we do not know. but II
is certain that these officials should DC
required to either pay up or get out

WHAT Is A PROGREssIvEi

What Is progressive? Does any
body knowp Ten years ago 1t was
definitely applied toNany one who sup
ported theProgressive party. But that
party was created by Roosevelt and
when no returned to the Republican
party in 1916 1t perished. Before the
party was created, however. the term
progressive Republicans began to be
applied to certain political leaders who
were opposed to the high tariff rates
of the Payne-Aldrich measure. were
hostile to large corporations. especially
the railroads, and were more or less
insurgent against party organizations.
Senators La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Cummins of Iowa. and Bevcridge of
Indiana We're among these leaders.
This movement was an internal re
volt against the Republican party Of
that day, inaugurated largely by party
leaders.
The term "progre ssive" is now being
applied TO candidates for important
Republican nominations who have won
their fights against the party orgaiS-
.zation. In discussing the primary
elections in Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania We said th6t these two vic
tories may indicate, a strong trend to-
wards progressvism. but we think
that both are mainly the result Uf a
growing spirit of independence among
voters and a growing antagonIsm to
party machines and machine methods
To the extent that 1t appears 10 be
a revolt against party organization
this movement is in line with that
which developed in 1909 and 1910. but
whether Il can he called "progressive'
in the sense OF opposition 10 party
policies is yet TO Id seen. The nomi-

they can do t. II is not enough to
hold troops in readiness 10 meet die-

must have coal, and coal can be pro-
duced only by the miners and opera
tors Nho are now refusing 10 bargain.
The strike must be settled or miners
will clash with mine guards again,
and yet again, and winter will bring

Yet as the shooting at Herrin was

Itself is an incident in the history of

United states hardly deserves the
name of business. II is "A chaos. and

nearly twice AK many men In mining

are too many for the jobs on hand and
because they are isoluted from com

ployment the miners cannot enforce
their demands under normal cOndi-
tions. With surplus labor keeping
wages low the pits will show a profit in
n good year even when run without
modern machinery or without regard

They are 80 run, and according 20
the Federal Trade Commission they
do show "a fair profit. At the same time
q majority of the meu are poorly paid

term az governor OF New York and
throughout his f1rst term as Presi-
dent. and Secretary OF War during
his second term. Secretaries Manning
and Whitney also were close to him.
and il may be said that President
Cleveland was fortunate In his friends.
President Roosevelt had many
friends. who admired him Immensely.
But 1t never was charged that any OF
his friends rap him" as President.
President Wilson had trusted and

the mistake Of assuming that he was
the power behind the throne" and
Tumulty, after years of discretion. pre-
sumed too much. So these fine friend
ships were rudely broken.
II is hoped President Harding's
manifest friendship for Mr.. Mclean
will not be disrupted. A President has
need of a real friend throughout his
crm, and is entitled TO one If he de-
sires such an appendage to his admin
istration. It is hoped Mr.. Mclean
will profit by the mistakes of some
OF his predecessors. and keep the dis
tinguished friendship in good working
order until the close OF Presiden,
Hardings official term.

of so much valuable time In useless
talk. Too frequently, discussions In
the Senate are merely emanstions Of

PRESIDENTS FRIENDS.

President Hardine seems 70 have
found a oongenial and enjoyable per-
sonal friend IN MIR. z. r. Mclean. the
rich Washington publisher. and fire.
quenuy enjoys his friends hospitality.
especially in weekend trips on Nc
Leans fine pleasure boat. Mclean is
rated politically as Democrat, but he
seemsSto be a real friend. intent on
enjoying association with the Presl-
dent. and not seeking personal or po-
ntical honors.
Our Presidents are human beings,
after all, as gregarious IN disposition
as other folks. and inclined 70 per-
sonal friendships. And there is no
reason why they should not have
them. II should be a great thing for
a President. tormented al all times
by presumed friepds who seek only
their own advantage. TO have at least
one man whom he may look upon as
a real. disinterested friend.
President Jackson had several such
friends during his two administra-
tions. and they were SO influential
they were called his kitchen cabi-
net" But still, "Old Hickory" always
was the real President.
President Lincoln, however. had no
such friend. one upon whom he could
rely for being all the name implies
during his stormy period in the White
House The people were. his friends
bur they could not stand by his SIDE
and help him through his grave
troubles. And so he was. in fact, the
most lonely of all our Presidents.
President Grant had many friends
and his intimates he trusted implicitly
but without discriminating judgment
loyal 20 them throughout. In conse-
quence. his confidence was shame
fully abused at times much TO the dis
credit OF his administration. But theii
mesnness did pot discredit the grea

THE REAL REASON.

The real reason for apprehension is
that there is a strike in the coal in
dustry and the strike. especially the
bitum!nous end of it, is not getting
anywhere. A strike in a vast and fun
damental industry which is allowed
TO drift indefinitely because there is
no crying need for the product will
necessarily come 10 some crisis of
shortage or of blood-shed before 1t
ends of itself. 1t is not enough to ar
