Tin- lit rature and j a; bl ii-a t i'ms consist of state
ments of fnets locardiny; tiio irnaistrii-s and argu
ments from those faots. An :trgutm-nt tnay bo
faulty -without ;niy intent to li.-ivo m.ade it so. in
th.- other liand, it may in- sound while those oppos--intr
the proiiosnion it supports may bonostl- think i
is unsound. As to the facts set forth in the pub
lications, if v... had a sensible system of tariff lon-i-'ati-.n.
it could bo eisily ascertained whether they
have be.-n truly stated or not; we would know in ad
anec of a presentation of the faots.
The Kentl. men who view wjili alarm these jiub-
eations overlook tho faet that they afford a la iko
majority of the congressmen about till tho liht they
li;it- on the tariff question. It may bo a false if;ht,
a Jack ' Rantern, in'itintr tin in whither tlicy ought
not ko, but, tiLiain, it may bo a true light.
We have tho ridiciilous assumption of the So
called a nt i-lobbyists that the congressmen, fresh
from the law office, the farm, tho shop, the school
room, have come to their seats fully prepared to
deal ir.tellh'ently with this complex question of the
tariff, win re.as, they tire equally well prepared to
translate the Bible out of the original Hebrew.
We do not b.-Iiovo in lobbies. We do not be
lieve that congress should bo dependent upon the
statements of representatives ,,f (),,. various . indus
tries, but we do believe that, in the present circum
stances, they have nothiim else to depend upon, and
that these statements mo less likely to mislead tin
earnest and intelliprt'nt congressman than they arc
to furnish him data for an investigation which may
finally bad him in the riylit direction.
When, the plan proposed by the national pro
gressive platform shall be adopted, as it must be,
for tarit." legislation, there w id bo no lobbies, ro
statements by representatives of industries. All the
information required will be at hand, furnished by a
non-partisan, expert commission which has made
a study of the proposed tariff from till .sides; from
that of the industry, from that of the government,
from that of the consumer, and from that of the
foreign competitor. This information will be re
garded as scientifically acquired and as absolutely
correct. A lobby in such ci reu mstanes could have
eidy a sinister and criminal purpose and could not
exist. . f
ln tho- absence of any system of tariff leg
islation we cannot . ry well blam.- those industri. s
which art- concerned for prc-a-nt invr tin ir cases to

THE JAPANESE INCOME TAX
The Japanese income tax- bill, ri-n-ntly passed
by the diet, was calculated to reduce t(,o total l-yy

idar chantrcs that a reduction in excess of $::...ni,iii

creases in the tax on commercial incomes running
from ST-Vm to Slu.i Th,- previous statute s.-t the
figure at per cent., tic-a propose increase was
t" l'i " r cent., and th- law. as passed, called for
V per cent. Only small ad;ine,s were ordered on
incomes from o 1 1 to ?7.."n, and b.-low i2."aio a
doi-iin.- from 4.:, to 1 p. r c.-nt. was passed. This
table shows the really trifling increases decided upon,
after substantial expansion had been considered for
larger incomes:

OPEN DOORS FOR THE COURTS
(Si. Paul 1'ionoer Press)
Secret proceedings in divorce cases and other
suits in the doted Kingdom hnv- boon effectually
ended by a declaration of the lord chancellor. Said
the lord chancellor:
Kvory court of justice in the land is
open to every subject of the king, and a
court has no power to sit otherwise than
with open doors.
That is straightforward doctrine. It has always
been tho rule in Kngland, but gradually secret ses
sions crept in because no one opposed them. Xow
in a public way tln-y have been rebuked and tho
courts in Knglaml will be in fact what they tire in
doctrine.
A little of that kind of talk from some Amer
ican judges would help a lot in makin.g people more
confident of their courts.
NOT BLAMING THE TOBACCO
"Were you sick the first time you ever smoked?''
"I should say I was!"
"1 shouldn't think you'd ever have cared for to
bacco again if it affected you that way."
"It wasn't the tobacco that affected me. Father
was to blame for that."

. CUZCO, CITY OF THE SUN WORSHIPERS
The ancient city of Cuz.-o. when i i r. t viewed
by Kuropoaii i-yt-s, was, according to the l..-st amiioi
ities, a gnat ami wealthy municipality of perhaps
two hundred thousand souls. How old it was at
that time we have scant moans of knowing, (inr
cilasso would have us believe that there ware only
thirteen Incis in tin- royal line from Main-,, Capao
to Iluavtia ('apac; M on t is i tins, on the other hand,
assures us that the Inc. is ruled for a thousand
oars! Which arc we to believe'.' Xo written his
tory of the race ex ist s --on 1 y the records ,,f the
quipus, those queer knotted strings that Were the
llicas' sole documents and for which no archaeolo
gist has as yet discovered the key. th-- Kosetta
Stone.
Cn.i-n's original plan was. singular!;. enough,
that of th,- Roman camp, a quadrangle divided by
two intersecting streets into quarters, with agat
on each face and towers at tin- angles. Kamusio
gives an interesting wood i tit of tho city as it. ap
peared to the conquerors.
Tho Ineas, like the citizens of the I'niti d States,
had no more definite name for their country than
Tavatitinsuyu, the Kmpire of the I'mir Provinces.
The four streets of the capital, prolonged by great
roads, divided it into four main provinces. each
under the dominion of its gov , t nor. When their
people came to ('uzco they lodged in their own quar
ters, where th-y adhered to their national costume;
and the customs of their own province. -
The city today retains the same general plan,
its two principal stre--ts being practically the old
main thoroughfares. its two eastern quarters lie
upon stoop hillsides; the two-western are in the val
ley, where runs a little river, the Hustanay, spanned
by bridges.
Tin- northeast quarter wans the Palatine Hill
of the South American Rome, and contains the pal
aces of the kings, for each Inca, after the manner
of tlie Roman emperors, built his own abode, scorn
ing to live in that of his predecessor. Mi nest 1'eix
