The poet Watson has sailed for Eng land as silent as Zelaya. Reports of the English elections read a good deal like pages of Plck (wlck." "Death reveals dual Identity," says a news Item. Oh, well, bury him twice. Canada plans eleven ironclads. While merely planning, why not an even dozen? John Burns kindly predicts a revo lution in' America. Isn't he looking a long way off? Householders are again beginning to long1 for the time when the coal bin will be a has-been. Those championship combatants down in Nicaragua are a little slow coming Into the ring. The buffetlngs of the liners along the coast are as nothing to the bumps of the Inland coasters. In the matter of dividends the reaper combine appears to be reaping more than it has sown. The record-breaking aviator says his experience was one of "liquid ecstacy." Must have been before 8 o'clock. That Des Moines ordinance to bar crime from the stage would let out some of the Shakespearean tragedians. While we read daily of train derail ments, there Is a notable absence of news from the water wagon caravan. avsBBHBBaieBBBsaevsBBBssBjsnBaMai William Allen White opines that "we are spending too much money." How stingy "A Certain Rich Man" can be come! May Mayor Gaynor's frostbitten ears be accepted as an indication that Boss Murphy had stopped talking about him? . While nature arranges for compen sation in the long run, it is the long hit that will compensate the occupants of the bleachers. A skipper of a bark which has just sailed into New York had not beard that the pole was found. What a lot he was Bpared! Now that the prosecution la reach ing the men higher up In -the sugar ring, the price of sugar sympathetically goes higher up. The man who saved a woman from drowning at Atlantic City has married her, thus reminding us again that he is a brave man. Los Angeles has Indicated what might be done with an airship meet it It were promoted at a point really ac ccsvlble to the population. It's an 111 wind, etc. For one day, at least, the people of Denver are pared being confronted by a red Ink horror on their front doorsteps. Reminiscences over the good old days when things were cheaper won't help the family larder. The bread winner has to bustle today just as he did then. , Worth While Newi. Ann now comes another qualitative analyst and tape-meaurlng statistician who has been classifying the news In what he calls one of the best New York dally papers and measuring It up to see how far It conforms to a ready-made standard. After comparing the results of his compilation covering a period of three months, the schedule is made public In an article In The Independent to Inform us that, of 10,029 news items tabulated as on a perforating machine, 22.8 per cent were "demoralizing," 16.8 per cent "unwholesome," 21.2 per cent "trivial" and 39.2. per cent "worth while." To emphasize the striking features of this distribution the per centages are also represented graph ically In black lines ofH-arying lengths to Indicate the comparative represen tation of different kinds of news, which Is pronounced "worth while," as con trasted with that which is "demoraliz ing," unwholesome" or "trivial." Presumably the author of this study has thoroughly convinced himself that he has made out an incontrovertible exhibit and that the mere promulgation of his findings should, If it does not, produce a complete revolution in jthe contents of our dally newspapers. If such is the case, however, we have no doubt he Is doomed to grievous disap pointment, and that few, if any, will be found to accept his dictum as to what Is, or is not, "worth while" of the vari egated pabulum which the newspaper dally serves to its multl minded readers. it is tne numan element tnat judges whether a particular piece of news or information is Interesting or uninter esting, instructive or unlnstructlve, de moralizing or wholesome. What af fects one person one way often affects another quite the opposite way. The chronicle of a crime may be nauseating to some, It may stimulate imitation in others, but on the average man it has a repressive effect, and the certainty that the penalty cf newspaper publicity and opprobrium will be imposed, even though the penalty of the law be evaded, is the most potent 'deterrent of crime we have. Yet we are told In the article referred to that all items about crime, disasters or catastrophes have been put under the ban as "de moralizing" or "unwholesome." Naturally, the author winds up the article with a protest against the low standard of American newspapers, which he regards only as a manifesta tion of the frenzy for wealth accumula tion, and an appeal for some plutocrat, who has confessed his difficulty to find ways to spend his surplus wisely, to endow a great daily that can "hold Its head high among all the world's press." Make room, therefore, for the subsidized newspaper with space reserved exclusively for news items that are "worth while," according to this gauge, and which will be troubled only to find people who think It worth while to read them. Income Tax Obstacles. An objection Interposed by Governor Hughes in his message to the legisia ture of New York to the ratification of the income tax amendment submitted by congress because It does not specif ically prohibit the levying of an Income tax upon the holders of state or mu nicipal bonds is not being hailed gen erally as much of a setback to the movement. It was taken for granted at the outset that New York would be unlikely to ratify the constitutional amendment authorizing an Income tax for the support of the federal govern ment. In fact, New England and east ern states were counted against it from the first, so that all Governor Hughes has done has been simply to furnish a plausible excuse for those states which would ordinarily withhold their ap proval. The point made In behalf of tax im munity for state and municipal bonds reets on the contention that the federal government should not be given power to destroy by taxation the credit and borrowing abilities of independent gov ernmental agencies, and that to do so would be a violation of state's rights going to the very core of state auton omy. The duty of upholding the state's rights doctrine would naturally appeal much more strongly to the southern states rather than the north ern states, which have not been dis posed to become panicky from any alarm about centralization. It will take the ratifications of thirty-six Btates to make effective a sixteenth amend ment to the constitution, and the fact that New York holds back presents no Insuperable obsfacle. Whether con gress, once Invested with this power, should levy au Income tax as an inte gral part of our revenue system or re serve It for emergency resources is quite a different question. Stability in Flight. While all the world reads breath lessly of the daily doings of flimsy flying machines at reckless heights over Los Angeles, It is somewhat rest ful to review the aerial explorations of the American people cn the other coast of the continent. The daring west may cultivate its devotees to the exploits of the aeroplane, but let it not be supposed that the spirit of loftiness Is neglected In our staid old hamlets. New England, too, feels its wings, but, soaring, insists on stability. Not for the descendants of the Pil grim fathers Is the bit of gauze which falls to earth when the motor stops; Instead, behold the substantial, reli able balloon, floating majestically over the hilltops from the Berkshlres to Cape Ann, and from the Aroostook to the Housatonlc. The chronological record of the New England ascensions for the year fill a blanket-sheet page of the Boston Transcript, which will give a general Idea of the extent to which the pastime has grown. Indeed, the old states are recognized abroad as having developed unrivalled enthu siasm for ballooning, and William Car roll Hill, official chronicler of the Down East flights, presents an enlight ening history' of the truly notable achievements by New Englanders In this form of exploration. It Is just like New England to be staid and sober In wen so alluring a field of endeavor as aerial experiment. And it Is the mark which distinguishes It from the Impulsive and dashing west. When the modern aviator at Los Angeles breaks a record, all .man kind holds Its breath a moment, then expends It In one great cheer. When the airship dashes to earth, It Is at least a grand smash, and again the world's eyes flash over the spectacular element. But New England takes the forsaken balloon to Its bosom, cod dles it, goes aloft with it in compara tive sanity and safety, having its fun in so comfortable and quiet an old fashioned "way that no one outside Its borders knows anything about it till a Boston almanac rounds up the annual record of ascents, so rapidly getting to surpass the local precipitations. Permanent Embassy Houses. The officers of the American Em bassy association, who have been making a tour of the central west to propagate the purpose of their or ganization, which Is to start out the government on a policy of building permanent embassy houses for our diplomatic representatives to foreign governments declare themselves to be happily disappointed In finding no strenuous opposition. A variegated assortment of argu ments has been presented to support the demand that the United States do as other great powers have done or are doing by establishing permanent quarters as the personal and official seats of our ambassadors and lululslers abroad. But to us the subject appeals most forcibly as a plain business propo sition. If tie government builds em bassy houses at the principal European capitals it will make them more or less equally pretentious according to the rank of the. embassy, and reduce, If not completely abolish, , the present dis parity between these positions as main tained by our diplomatic officers out of the allowance made them, generally supplemented from their own private fortunes. The qualifications demanded of our ambassadors should be substantially the same for all, granted, of course, that the most experienced and best equipped should be sent to the most Important posts. While any new de parture In this direction must of neces sity be of slow progress, it strikes us that it would be a sound business proposition to put all our diplomatic establishments abroad on a permanent foundation, and fix their relationship to one another and to the foreign gov ernments more in conformity with the actual facta. Reaching for the Eingleaders. The steadiness with which the in dictment of the members of the sugar ring goes on must be highly gratifying to the public, as sustaining the popu lar falthin the determination of the government "to bring within the tolls all of tbe offenders whom It can un cover. Out of such a tangle of crim inality, extending over so long a pe riod, it has, been slow work to evolve the connecting links of evidence neces sary to convict, but the painstaking prosecution has step by step progressed up the ladder, never neglecting an op nnrtnnOv in tmnale the smaller frv. iuuk w s : - - w ' b'ut always aiming toward the man higher up. When the lesser indi viduals have mutely accepted their prison sentences, It had been feared that the real ringleaders would escape, but now the secretary-treasurer of the combine has been indicted, in con junction with a considerable number of other officials, and out of these In dictments there may -oe evolved the full revelations for which the people have been hoping. The bland, assurances resulting In the adoption of a resolution of confi dent innocence on the part of the sugar company 'directorate are somewhat be clouded by the instant announcement of true bills against the bigger de fendants, being another exhibition of the futility of fine words in the face of the blunt facts. Preserving Native Beauty. Americans at large will approve the object of tbe campaigners at Washing ton who have undertaken the enlist- ment of congressmen for a national I park to preserve portions of the Nia gara region In their pristine beauty. Such movements are notoriously slqw of progress, while the march of the despoiler is swift, and already the country roundabout the falls has un dergone deterioration beyond recall. wile there can no longer be any doubt that the falls themselves are in danger. Had the nation not reserved the Yel lowstone wilds before moneyed greed discovered their possibilities, that won derland would by this time have been despoiled, for even today such men aa Edison regretfully point to the power running to waste In the violence of the geysers, and It is not difficult to conjure up a picture of capital tapping tbe subterranean sources there with pipe lines and industry harnessing the spouting of Old Faithful and his Vln, Invasion of the Yosemlte park is even now being fostered. Such of the ma jestic portions of tbe Hudson and Ad irondack regions as still remain un scarred are about to be saved by tbe united efforts of the states of New York and New Jersey, aided by the personal millions of eastern philan thropists. It Is pleasing to see the Sage, Rocke feller and Harrlman fortunes con tributing so practically and bo liberally to the work of restoring to the people the beauty spots which nature de signed for the generations after us, but the cupidity of capital Is constantly directed against other of these wonder lands, and It Is a wise people who de cline to surrender the few remaining marvels Into the hands of commercial ism. There Is now only one Niagara. "Counsel for His Defense." In connection with the latest phase of the Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation concerning the debate over the right of Mr. PInchot to be represented by counsel before the congressional com mittee, reference has been made to the constitutional guarantee. But that stipulation is specifically with regard to "all criminal prosecutions," in which circumstances "the accused shall enjoy the right to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." The public lands Investigation is not a criminal trial, but, instead, an earnest effort on the part of the gov ernment to discover the full facts con cerning the administration of interests Involved in departmental service. None of the parties to the controversy has thus far shown any disability to express himself in the matter of fact or argument, and the need for pro fessional lawyers on either side to In terpret the procedure or to interpolate legal technicalities is not at this writ ing apparent. This investigation Is no occasion for red tape. Intrusion of expert lawyers with their devious ways of manipulat ing the issue cannot but give rise to the impression that the investigating committee is not fully competent to do the business. What is wanted Is a clear and complete exposition of all the cir cumstances, regardless of legal techni calities or oidiuary court procedure, and regardless of the person or persons on whom any disclosures may reflect. The Road to Success. In distributing New Year's dividend gifts to his many employes, one of Chi cago's merchant princes took occasion to tell the men how to save from their earnings, as the initial step along the road to success. The homily contained such simple details as "Walk to the store for exercise and to save carfare," "If you smoke, smoke the cheap cigars coarsely made of real tobacco." His rigid rule, Involving minute economies, on which he rose to fortune, was the invariable saving of one-fourth of his weekly earnings. All this has a familiar sound, for nearly every successful American start ing from lowly employment has testi fied to the truth of some such creed. For one's self to feel the pinch of de privation is pointed out as the means of acquiring the materials for foundation laying of fortune, and It might be added for character-building as well, and personal attention to details of the employer's interests might be cited as another essential. Yet of all who hear the counsel, but few respond, for It Is so much easier to temporize with the primrose path than to set forth with fortitude and determination along the hard road that stretches unlnvltingly so far before It turns from simplicity Into the open country of comfort and ease. The American public, knowing Prof. Henry vanDyke chiefly for his "Story of the Other WTise Man" and other books, had forgotten that he was for years pastor of the famous Brick Pres byterian church In New York, till re minded by the recent announcement that he had resumed that pulpit, the occasion being the death of Dr. Wil liam R. Richards, one of the clearest thinkers and most pleasing and en lightening pulpit orators of the day. Dr. Richards was Dr. vanDyke's choice for the place, as Dr. Maltbie Babcock had been before him, an indication that the Brick church has come to look upon the Princeton literary man as a godfather in pulpit succession. In so large and important a congregation Dr. vanDyke will be kept too busy to do much other work, and for his value to the world at large It Is to be hoped that he soon again will fix upon his succes sor, for a man who can preach so wholesomely and effectually through his books cannot be spared to the de tails of a small and limited field. We are still waiting for our amiable democratic contemporary, the World Herald, to make specific the accusa tion it brings against the 'Hon, John Lee Webster, charging him with being "the chevalier sans peur et sans reproche of bourbonism in Nebraska," whatever that Is. We stand ready In his behalf to enter a plea In abatement, and a demurrer and set set up the statute of limitations. TL'e ioi pier Lincoln postmaster denied tbe accusation that he is "In surging" because he was pried loose from Uncle Sam's payroll. Of course, he knows the real reason, but It is worthy of note thut he never "In surged" while' he was still connected with the job. Fervently do we pray that Governor Shallenberger may not succumb to tbe allurements or be contaminated by breathing in the same atmosphere at Washington on which. Cannon and Aldrlih, Fitzgerald and BalKy, PInchot and Balllnger draw lor their lung power. One of our "best sellers" relates that one of Its women characters "had taken advantage of a lull in the enter taining to give herself a thorough physical overhauling, in the gymna sium, In the lower part of the' left wing." Since the new fashions there appears to be no end to the mysteries of feminine anatomy. When last heard from William Jen nings Aryan was somewhere down on the borderland between Central Amer ica and South America, but careful perusal of the contents of the Com moner fails to show any difference or deterioration. The Postal telegraph people cer tainly gave no thought to the con veniences of popular parlance when they picked out a name like Transcon tinental. Watch its abbreviation to "Transy." N- What our old friend Edgar Howard would like to know Is whether tbe check book has been replenished so that it will bid higher for re-election than It did for election. SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. Cleveland Plain Dealer: That Illinois pastor whose counterfeiting outfit was set up In the church parsonage seems to have been much better known for his works than his faith. Washington Herald: That St. Iyouis min ister who says there are no lawyers In heaven evidently thought heaven' was In need of a fine, large boost of some sort. Springfield Republican: If the Chicago (Churches adopt the plan of employing press agents and advertising.-they should see to it that their ads are always placed next to pure reading matter. Chicago Record-Herald: General Booth, the head of the Salvation Army, fears that the end of the world Is rapidly approach ing, and he has an Idea that the destruc tion is to be by fire. People who live In flats which are not properly heated will find It difficult to share his opinion. Brooklyn Eagle: The Fifth Avenue Pres byterian church of Manhattan offers a Brummagem English minister twice the salary any Presbyterian church In all Eng land can afford to pay. He will come. Hun dreds of American Presbyterian ministers who are not getting 112,000 a year, yearn fur a prohibitive duty in the divinity schedule. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. The revolutionary army Is working below the Nlcaraguan scale of 30 cents. They size up at 20 cents a day. Those seeking an anti-fat treatment that delivers the goods can secure pointers by watching the coal pile shedding Its surplus. New Jersey's corporation foundry Is not frightened by federal regulation or federal taxes. The output last year was 2,118 char ters, a gain of WO. The barbaric splendors of the steel trust were shown off at a Pittsburg dinner cost ing $100 a plate. King Ak-Sar-Ben's dinner to President Taft looms up as a piker by' contrast. Mrs. T. P. O'Connor comes from England to this country for the purpose of getting a little sleep. The sonorous music of a boiler shop working overtime must have a soothing effect on her nerves. The assertion Is boldly made In New York that the gas company is recouping Itself on the 80-cent rate by pumping into the pipes enough wind to make up the differ ence. It Is conceded that the company has wind to burn. The Optical Review warns the profession that several unnamed individuals dealing in eyeglasses are going from place to place committing the unpardonable offense of selling spectacles at cut prices. No ade quate punishment has yet been devised for the wandering villains. I SERMONS BOILED DOWN. He can n-evtr know men who will not stop to know children. Home men come near proving the devil when they argue on tltuir god. No man gets far In the business of living who lives only for business. Anxiety tries to see the mountain in the way and trips us up over a pebble. He who sets his sails to the winds of ap plause steers with his back to the future. A present annoyance will try out saint hood much better than prospective martyr dom. Many men would be religious If their friends were not so anxious to make It seem petty and ridiculous. Much religious speculation is like trying to explain the world's anthems by the ether waves that carry them. When a. thing gets intolerably .bad we usually eliminate It from the language of decency and leave It In active existence. Chicago Tribune. THE SUM OF LIVING.
