In the early times greatness was explained by attributing to heroes a supernatural origin. Every man or woman who ex celled in anything was believed by the multitudes to be the son or daughter of some god or goddess and to be acting under the powers or protection of that god-parent j And then there came a time when the people no longer believed in the existence of Olympus and its populace of gods and godesses and they began anew the search for the cause of the superior traits and abilities of gifted human beings.' They solved the problem by deifying their mortal heroes. The fact that Appollo, Jupiter and Vulcan passed on did not pre vent the masses from reasoning that those who are superior to the great body of men must be possessed of some super- natural powers which make, them so. j But the people now live in a still more enlightened age and ' they no longer accept the half-god, half-man theory of great- T1PRH.

With the assistance cieties the foundation was laid for a republic for black people. In 1847 Liberia became an independent nation, peopled en tirely by the African race, with a constitution patterned alter that of the United States. An international commission now states it has found that neai-ly all high officials of the Liberian government indulge in the oppression of labor and that slavery and forced labor are common throughout the countn-. So slavciy persists in me one country where the abhorrence of slaverv w-niilri lv expected to be strongest. Washington has much influence with the officials in charge of Liberian affairs and has called the government's attention to this question of slavery. It is believed that merely the threat of the loss of American friendship may bring about the desired results. STATE INCOME TAX Under the title of "Before the Storm," the Oregonian calls attention to the new Oregon state income tax law as another source of worry for the citizen who has had a fair salary or has had a profitable business year. They call attention to the fact that some who are non-tax-: payers under the Federal law will be taxed by the state, and that in the case of those having small incomes the state tax is from 21 j td 3 1-3 times the Federal tax. Also that in the Case of persons having an income of ?3,500 on which then is no Federal tax, they must pay the state a tax of ten dollars. An income of ?7,500 which is taxed $-15.00 by the Federal government, will be taxed ? 150.00 by the state. If the Oregonian has correctly analyzed the provisions of the act, and undoubtedly they know whereof they w rite, there will le weeping and wailing when the tax blanks are received by those who are eligible to le initiated into the new order of "income tax payers."

Kellogg on the floor of the senate the other day. Word went out immediately that he was there to sound out his lor mer colleague on the question of America's adherence to the world court. These reports annoyed htm somewhat. He resrarded it as a trifle absurd that he was believed to be there for such a purpose. He had the freedom of the senate chamber becau.e once he sat there. j a senator from Minnesota. It was but natural, however, that his visit would be so construed. A Justice on the world court, he ap peared at a time when the world ; court is aain before the senate. This appearance hardly could go unnoticed.
