The Income Tax. With the tariff bill out of the way-cn acted into law?the Income tax will for a time, and maybe for some time, hold the renter of the stage. Ijet us examine it under several heads. its origin. Mr. Bryan's friends appro priate the credit for him. But Mr. Bryan Is not entitled to the? credit. Both the populists and Mr. Cleveland were be fore him. The populists were first in the field, demanding not only that an income tax be laid In time of peace, but made a permanent feature of our system of taxation. They based their demand on the allegation that wealth whs not bearing its share of the national burden. Mr. Cleveland. It will be remem bered. although the representative of the Wall street democracy, favored an in co-ne tax in the tariff revision of 18SM David B. Hill was the only prominent democrat in office who at that time op posed the tax; and he did so on the dou ble ground that it was popullsrtlc and not democratic, and besides was unconstitu tional. Its fate. Will the appeal to the states succeed? Undoubtedly, a good effort will be made to defeat the proposition Party lines will disappear in the debatable ter ritory. Democrats and republicans will be found for and against. Som<\ extreme ar guments will be advanced. On one side we shall hear. "Vote this tax, and you head the country straight for revolution. Bv making wealth a pet target, you in vite despoilers to do their worst." On the other we shall hear, "Defeat this tax, and you Invite revolution. If not by law ful means, wealth will he assessed by some other means." There is a good deal" of gammon on both sides of the line. If the states respond favorably, will the tax be levied at once? That propo sition will bring on a new contest, second only in vigor and fierceness to the one Just rlcvsed. The corporation tax will be on the books, but a demand must be met that it give place to the tax the states formally have Indorsed. The argument will be that public smthnent did not entry the corporation tax. but that public sentiment has carried the income tax. Therefore, apply public sentiment. And that issue may be ripe for the campaign of 1P12. We are entering upon what may prove truly strenuous politics and still more strenuous times. Protection has laid a firm hold on the democrats, and the in come tax as firm a hold on the republi cans. Which Is which, and "what is what? Riddling riddles and running dividing lines will require in the next year or two the genius of political experts. Persia in Revolt. The Shah of Persia seems to be going the way of the Sultan of Turkey. Each of those monarclts has given his subjects a constitution and in each case the people have finally risen in revolt and driven the monarch from the throne. The shah Is not yet entirely eliminated from the sit uation, but from latest accounts he is on the ragged edge of political extinction, unless Russia intervenes to prevent. The < ase is strikingly like the Turkish. Abdul Hamid permitted the , newly established government to fall into reaction until the revolution became assured of success by reason of the swift destruction of public confidence. The shah's experience has been stormy ever since his accession to the throne. The^rogresslve element took advantage of the change of monarchs to bring pressure to bear for the writing of a constitution, but It was evident from the outset that Perstarhad not yet advanced to the point of deserving representative government. The reaction was -violent, being more, pronounced than in Turkey, and It* remains to be seen whether the re newal-of the revolution, marked today by the entry of the nationalist troops Into Teheran, will lead as promptly as in Tur key to a liberal organisation. The atti tude of Russia is the unknown element in the case, that government having a com paratively free hand In western Persia in consequence of It* compact with Eng land. Emma Goldman would not think that the views of either O. Bernard Shaw or Theodore Roosevelt on socialism amount ed to much. As an effacer of party lines Senator Al drlch seems entitled to a considerable share of notice. The Sigel Murder. A day or so after the Sigel murder wa* brought to light. The Star stated that good-looking young Chinamen dressed in American fashion might expect annoy ance at the hands of police officials filled with zeal. Nothing was more cer tain The nature of the crime, its wide advertisement. and the general hor ror that had been awakened, all assured that the whole detective force of the country would get busy. Not a sleuth between the two seas hut would be quick ened traction; and. as we all know, the way ofthe sleuth is unceremonious. He doesn't mind half so much finding him j^elf mistaken as to ninety-nine innocent rren as discovering that through deli cacy he has permitted one guilty man to ?' scape. 1 Patent as the observation was, it did not pass muster with one of The Star's readers, who. In an anonymous note, ex pressed himself most contemptuously about it. But The Star was right. A Chinese stu dent writing from Columbia University to the New Tork Tribune says: "Will not the thinking Americans?the liberty-loving and justice-seeking people? '*nd a willing ear to the plea of a Chi nese student for fair play and a square deal? The death of an American girl, who. according to the newspapers, was a 'missionary' and visited the Chinese in Chinatown, the discovery of her body in a trunk, the flight of an Americanised Chinese?these are all the facts we know with certainty about the so-called 'Sigel murder case.' and yet this unfortunate coincidence (I call it a coincidence be cause as yet no one knows whether the death was caused by murder or suicide, whether It resulted from love or hatred) has been taken as an excuse for annoy ing. molesting?nay, even perwvuting? the thousands of Innocent, peaceful and harmless Chinese In this country. "The chief objects of my present com ptairt are the police and the detectives, whose Indiscriminate exercise of the power intrusted to them has done even gieater Injustice to the Chinese people ttian the ruthless exploitations of 'yellow* journalism. These men have of late ?* arrestPd many Chinas*? students?to pay nothing of other classes of Celestials?for being 'suspect*' In the Sigel case, and have maltreated them In a hundred other ways all over the country?In -Chicago. Buffalo, Syracuse. Rochester, Albany. New Haven and Boston. One student traveling from Michigan to New York was stopped three times on his way." We shall never know how far this search has been carried, or how many Innocent and worthy persons have been Inconvenienced by it. And the search still continues. The success of the mur derer in eluding the authorities has but whetted the professional ambition. The favorite photograph In police circles Is that of Leon Ling, and the city sleuths fancy they see him twenty times a day. At the same time nothing Is more cer tain than that this murderer has never ' worn" his real face since his crime was uncovered. His first instinct was dis guise, and being an actor h? must have canvassed in his mind many make-ups. Which one he first adopted, and how many changes he has made since, he alone knows. So that while innocent young Chinamen have been questioned on account of a fancied resemblance to I^on Line, as the latter appeared in American dress. Line himself has been making his way in one dissruise or an other, but never as the Ling of the pho tographer's art. If the man is ever taken, the story of his life while a fugitive from Justice should b? drawn from him. It would teach both the police and the public a lesson. ? i War on the Rats. Whether or not it is true as estimated that rats and mice cause a loss to the city of Washington alone of *400,000 a year, there is urgent reason for a sys tematic warfare against the rodents. It is undeniable that rats at least are the cause of disease spread. It Is known that they are the chief disseminator of bubonic plague, and certain other diseases I are believed to be spread by them. Indeed, j sanitarians refuse to acquit the rat in any degree of the charge of general malevo lence against the human family. Health Officer Woodward has declared war. He proposes to wage a relentless fight, and should be assisted in this work by every householder and every business man in Washington. A crusade of this character can best be conducted by co operation. It is possible to drive the rats out of one place only to have them find shelter In another, if there is no team work between owners of premises. In some of the cities where similar efforts have been made to exterminate the rats there has been careful preparation In ad vance and a general Instruction of all people in the best means to pursue. When San Francisco some time ago undertook to rid itself of rats it placed the work in charge of gangs of men directed by offi cers of the marine hospital service, who employed scientific measures. Square by square should be thoroughly Tansacked, the rats driven forth by fer rets or perhaps smoked out of their holes and the hiding places filled or stopped. The rats themselves should be killed if possible in the open and their bodies carefully destroyed, preferably by crema tion. The work of exterminating the rats involves cleaning up the premises, which in itself is always desirable. Rats are chiefly to be found in places where rub bish abounds and neglect is the rule. When t-ash is cleared away it is com paratively easy to discover the location of rat holes and nests. There is no excuse for the presence of rats in a well built, carefully maintained house or business establishment. A modern building used for the conduct of a business of a character to attract rodents should have ratproof walls of masonry and concrete. All sewers should be screened to prevent ingress of the rats from the drains. It is possible to con struct nowadays on this principle of total exclusion. Where the building is old, its construction antedating the evolution of ratproof methods, the problem is a diffi cult one. In San Francisco and Honolulu it was found necessary to destroy scores of buildings that were too far infested with the rats to be cured. There are many places in Washington where rats abound in great numbers, and these nooks and corners-will be the scene of the most interesting and it is to be hoped successful efforts to rid the city of the pests. Possibly as a result of this campaign the movement for the reform of the alleys of Washington will be material ly accelerated. The Taft Smile. There is great reliance now on the Taft smile. It is for the moment the strong est republican asset. It has a record. Wonders were performed by it in the campaign last year. People welcomed it as the successor of the big stick. Will It prove as useful now-as an instrument for producing harmony as last year as an In strument for arousing enthusiasm? The republican who goes to the White House with the statement that he wants a sat isfactory tariff bill Is informed with a smile that that is what the President wants. The President's beaming coun tenance calms and encourages regulars and insurgents alike. It is regretfully hinted by some writers that United States senators are not as punctilious in matters of attire as states men used to be. But this is no time of year to criticise anybody for shirt waist tendencies. Discouragements presented toBroughton Brandenburg are likely to prevent any effort to dig up documents bringing Thomas Jefferson's views on the income tax down to date. Although the Black Hand is suspected of complicity In extensive counterfeiting operations it is careful not to countenance any bad money in its blackmailing opera tions. There Is some disposition to make Je rome as conspicuous a permanency In the district attorney's office as Diaz is In the presidency of Mexico. It is unfortunate that a hot-wave pro gram can go into cffect without going through the preliminaries of a joint com mittee consideration. Mr. Bryan is one of the men who, not withstanding their enjoyment of liberal personal incomes, are in favor of an in come tax. Russia was glad to overlook the recent brush with Japan and celebrate th? vic tory of Peter the Great over the Swedes. Bolivia Makes Trouble. The Bolivian government,* It Is re ported, has refused to accept the award of the President of Argentina in the matter of the Peruvian boundary* arbi tration. In consequence the turmoil in that part of the world is increasing and is menacing international peace. The late dispatches from Buenos Aires and l<a Paz indicate that Argentina Is greatly ruffled over the demonstrations of Bolivian anger and a demand for an apology Is <about to be presented. This,, however, is not the gravest symptom.' Bolivia might easily become obstreper ous to the point of Invoking the puni tive anger of the Argentine govern ment. but without thereby disturbing the peace beyond the bound* of the two countries. In point of fact Argentina might trounce Bolivia soundly in order ^to obtain satisfaction or Insults, and. frniMrrrnlntiom irrirn 4t4 1 not for the fact that thirf whole matter grows out of an award which Involves the territorial rights of Peru and Bra zil. Bolivia's refusal to accept tlie award is natural in the circumstances, inasmuch as the government at La Pa* has already contracted to deliver to Brazil the territory which the arbitra tor now declares It does not own. The real conflict in this case comes between Brazil and Peru. The natural solution of the problem now presented would be to refer to an arbitration the antago nistic claims of those two governments, but this would weaken the principle of arbitration by serving to discredit that already held and formally terminated with an award. An Eskimo boy who is not pleased with hie treatment as a Peary protege says he is going back home to Greenland and discover the north pole himself. This may be scientific news of importance, and, on the other hand, it may be mere summer resort gossip. Castro is being squeezed out of Vene zuelan concerns from which he derived much profit. A deposed dictator is one of the saddest figures in high finance. Over a hundred serious injuries have recently resulted from Spanish holidays. The safe and sane bull fight is not a practical proposition. The bestowal by the Grand Duke of Hesse of a title on a St. Louis brewer should cause Milwaukee to look to its laurels. Harry Thaw's friends are disposed to insist that his insanity was restricted to occasions when his lawyers might need it. SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Seeking an Estrangement. "How can you reconcile your previous statements with your present opinions?" "I don't want to reconcile 'em." an swered Senator Sorghum. "My desire is to keep them so far apart that they can be considered as strangers." An Expert Opinion. "Do you 'think Hamlet was insane?" asked the student. "No," answered Mr. Stormington Barnes, "The conduct of Hamlet in pre paring a defense for his actions indicates that Shakespeare, in addition to his won derful store of scientific and historic knowledge, had prophetic ideas about the unwritten law." Making Friends. The truly courteous man doth win Esteem. He says with joyous shout To heavy-weights, "You're growing thin," And to the thin, "You're growing stout." Sympathy. "Young man,'* said the stern parent, "when I was your age I had to work for a living." "Well, sir," answered the frivolously In clined youth. "I'm not to blame for that. I have always disapproved of my grand father's attitude in the matter." "Advice.'* said T'ncle Eben, "is sumpin' like eingin'. You either gits it free till you's tired o' llstenin' or else it's so ex pensive you can't afford sca'sely any." A Formidable Phrase. "I'm a servant of the people," Said our congressman one day. We've thought the statement o'er with care And aren't feelin* pay. For In our observation There Is no one who can Let precious moments idly fly To beat our hired man. He sits upon a fence rail Or loiters in the shade, A-tellin' yarns that make you laugh, Or talkin' up a trade. Our congressman took chances Selectin* such a text; The servant problem had become Already too perplexed. Waste Paper Nuisance. From the Philadelphia Lodger. It is quite time for some vigorous effort to abate the nuisance of waste paper in the streets. No one cause contributes as much to the general unsightllness of even the best streets as the papers that are thrown out by careless persons and allowed to blow about the sidewalks. Some of them are scattered deliberately, but most of them come from the ash bar rels. The housekeeper who stuffs loose papers Into the top of the barrel that is set out upon the curb, whence they are scattered either by the wind or by prying children, ought to be penalized. But just what the more thoughtful housekeeper is to do with papers, especially in summer, when it is not easy to burn them, is a difficult question. *"Mvic reform societies have long wrestled with this problem, and still the solution has not been found. King Corn. From the Boston Transcript. While the country is doubtless deeply Interested in the final outcome of the work of tariff revision, it is fully as much interested in the crop prospect. The ef fect of the former is somewhat specu lative. The crops are - a practical and definite measure of prosperity, and the report of the crop reporting board of the government to date is highly en couraging. It is, of course, too early to say what the harvest shall be, but in actual condition at the present time there has been a great enrichment of promise over the previous month, as a reference to the statistics will show. Disintegration of Parties. From the Independent. When political parties have become dis organized, broken Into sections with con flicting views, we may look for approach ing reconstruction, or at least realign ment. Such is the condition of both the repisbUcan and the democratic parties to day. It is time for a change. Health of New York City. From the Brooklyn StHndard-Union. The fruits of public instruction in sani tary matters and a stricter enforcement of the health laws are shown in the death rate of the city during the past six months. It has never been so low for a similar period in the history of tne consolidated city. , Farmers Have Money. From thp Cleveland Leader. The farmers are going to have more money than ever before ,to spend during the next crop year. They will do their vyy Important share toward making prosperity generous and universal. Cot ton does not match the outlook for the great cereals, but the price of that staple of the south is likely to offset, wholly or in large part, the decreased yield which Is now foreshadowed. Some Are Bank. From the St. Joseph Gazette. A Washington judge has declared that all playing of pianos must cease In that city at midnight. They must have an unusually poor quality of musicians at the nation's capital. The Last Blow. From the Chicago Kvening Poet. Panama canal officials are now com* pelled to walk instead of using carriages. Next thing we know this heartless gov ernment will forbid them to pose for magazine pictures, and the deluge will begin.
