Ind . se second cinss matter s . ‘PHoxE No i 3 The men with the big incoties that escape their due propotiion of taxes are evideutly busy in attempting to create a publie setitiznent against L ratifieation of the eonstitutional amendment. The latest bug-bear is %"s'\ statement that under this smendment coigress would bave the right to tax eéven the income of the day laborer! The Chicago Tribune very cleatiy polots out the fallacy of this argument. No congress could be found thar would take the sulcidal action of hnposing & uuiversally unpopuiar tax I'lie real danger would be that it would place the minimun income too Hiyg! rathier than too low. ‘ : ::'sB EF * B ; Harper's Weekly advances the rather logiceal arguinent that the advont of the asutomobile tends 1o encourage the participation of the state iu the work of rosdmaking by chauging the relation of the loeal taxpayer to Lis roads. The wear and tear of roads by the machinist is severe, but the roads are malutained by the loeal communities (u which only & fraction, of the autotnoblles thlg use them are ron. Toll gates would solve the problen but toll gates are not likely to be re-established. The motorists are at present taking more out of the roads than they are putting in. and the oui) way to make them pay adequately for what they get and to relieve loral communities from the burden of providiog thoroughfares for a generai tratlic in for the state to go into road bullding.— Indisuapolis Star.

The Winona Interarban railroad is now under differsnt management, new officers having been elected at the last meeting of the stockbolders, H.J. Heluz of “fifty-seven varietios of pickles’ fame, is the new president and Harry S. Dickey has been deposed as manager. The Dickeys may be alright when it comes to running a chautauqgua but the raliroad was not paying under their management, hence the change. -1t Lias not been many months sitnce we werb told that no Sunday trains would be run over the Winoua lines and that the road was paying good dividends without it It now develops that even with the excellent patronage of the Sunday serviee, the road shiows 8o litile profit that a changs of systemn was necessary. Tiie railroad from this time on will be entirely dmuuc; from the Winons arseinbly and will be managed by railroad men,

- The following editorial in the Licoxing BAxNER is signigeant for tWo reasons—first the truth of the main comment, and second, the admis sion in the last sentence. which owes ita sigtiflocance to the faot that the BANNER has thus far failed to encourage the wovement for the eradication of the saloou:—Elkbart Review. = “The people of Fort Wayune in general and the saloon keepers in par ticular had & good lesson in'law enforcement last Sunday. 'l'he old town WAS A 8 tight a 8 a drum, the saloons belng closed back snd frout and closed tight all day. It waaconclusively shown that when the police furce, aud officera %exmrllly, want the saloons closed they can be shut aud shut up tight. The lid was on all because the authorities said that it should be so, aud it is safe to wager that the next few mouths will see & tight town Publie sentiment demands it %

There is no admission in the last sentence. It is plan statement of fact Publle sentiment does dernand that the saloons be run in accordance with the law. We have always contended that they should be so conducted and we have upheld the officers who have tried to enforee these laws. We helieve that well regulated licensed saloons are not as bad as they are painted nuq we have not joined the hue and ory against them. The writer voted for the Nicholson law, is in favor of its enforecement, believes that the number of saloous should be restricted and that & high license should be collected. Law breaking saloon keepers and blind officials are to blame for all the troubles that have recently Tallen to the lot of the liquor dealers

The city council did a wise thing iast Tuesday night when they agreed to adopt the modern and improved method of lighting Cavin street with the new standard lamps now in use at Mishawaka. The expense of installation will be somewhat greater but the city can afford to pay the difference to get the up-to-date and attractive service that will be atforded by thenew System. A contract has been prepared and after all the details are settied the new company will begin the installation of the posts and wires so as to assure the service at an early date. The contract provides for all posts and lamps of attractive design and when completed Cavin street will present a greatly improved appearance.

There is already considerable political gossip at the state capitol. Several candidates are already at work building fences for next Vear _Prominent among them is Jonce Moyniban of Orleans, who came near cap. turing the nomination for state treasurer three years ago in the republican convention. Mr. Moynihan will g 0 into the next convention with a stroug following from this part of the state where he has many strong friends. He is an excellent gentlemen and will make a strong candidate if nominated.

® X 2 A e : . Governor Horatio Seymour of New York once remarked that the cost of high school education for a whole generation might be returned to the country by a single discovery made by some scientist because of the education he had thus received. Mr. Seymour mentioned friction matches as an illustration. Think of the saving in time they furnish the world. The bydro-carbons extracted from petroleum are more recent examples of what the ghemist can do for mankind. Not kerosene only or its allied gasoline but a whole range of medicines, flavoring extracts and perfumes are by the chemist’s magic evolved from the slimy, ill-smelling rock oil. *Petrol butter” is the latest discovery, and it is said to take an expert to detect its difference from the dairy product. : ;

A New York legislative committee which is going over the country taking testimony as to the working of primary election laws held one of its meetings last week in Indianapolis, where, under the present law, all nominations must be made by the primary election method. Many citizens of Indianapolis gave their views to the New York committee and the sentiment, was almost unanimous that the law as it stands does not work satisfacterily and is scarcely an improvement upon the convention plan. Among those, however, who maintained that even the existing law is preferable to the old system was Thos. A. Daily, a former republican member of the legislature from Indianapolis and a firm supporter of the policies of Governor Hanly. Among other things Mr. Daily said: **lt is well known that at one state convention here votes sold for as higi as $l4O each.” He had reference to the last republican state convention, concerning which there were scandalous stories of bribery at the time. ;
