Rev. Madison Slaughter is rather game anyway. He
was hanged in effigy by irate Oroville citizens earlySun
day morning, and in his sermon that day called atten
tion to the act and remarked that "where he came from
in the South the citizens would not have delayed so long
in the hanging of a person convicted of the crime with
which he was charged, and the hanging would not have
been in effigy either." This was a pretty bold dare for
the mob to try its hand on him.

TARIFF AND THE INCOME TAX
Senator Harding, temporary chairman of the republi
can convention says : "I can see no reason why Theodore
Roosevelt should not be consulted, if he is back in the
party." But is he? Is it not a matter at least doubtful
whether Theodore is back in the party, or the party back
in Theodore?
The "League to Enforce Peace" ought to suppress that
Roosevelt-Root alliance for the purpose of licking every
thing in sight before it gets strong enough to put its pro
paganda into effect. The league might do some really
Walt Mafon
It is stated that England and her allies are already
planning a tariff system to go into effect after the war.
Presumably it will be in the nature of an arrangement by; practical work in this direction,
wmcn trie aiues wm nave better terms under winch they
will trade with each other than they will give other na
tions. At the same time the "most favored nation" clause
is in the treaties with the United States by all these
countries, and they can make no better terms with each
other than they must give this country. It would seem
from this action that the allies are laboring under the
impression that this country, or any other that ships its
products to them, will have he tariff to pay. Americans
had that idea for some half .a century, and some of the
old guard still have the same delusion.
In England and her allied countries however the
tariff system would have one good feature that was lack
ing here.
Under the system in this country, foreign competition
was shut out and the local manufacturers imported Euro
pean labor, paid it but a trifle more than it received at
home, sold their products at a price iust below what the
foreign goods could be sold for, and put the difference in it
men- potKfis. in uiuer woms insieau ot me government
getting the benefit of the tariff the local manufactures
absorbed it and the American people paid the bill. It
was from this source that most of the swollen fortures
were derived. The system gave the manufacturer the
right to levy a tariff on the people, and they did not
neglect doing it.
The favorable feature in England, that will help cor
rect this, is the graduated income tax, now high, but
which will be so arranged after the war as to be practical
ly confiscatory of incomes above a given amount. Under
this arrangement whether Jhe goods are imported or made
at home the government will get the tariff', something itl
did not do here except on the imported goods.

THE YELLOW LEAF
My step is feeble now and slow, that was once so bold;
my hair, once dark, is like the snow, and my feet are cold;
my legs are thin, my waist is fat, I have an ache in every
slat, I cannot run or skin the cat, I am wax
ing old. I look around with gloomy eyes,
at the growing lads; I like to sit and
moralize, with the ancient dads, and tell
how boys of other days were better than
the modern jays, of higher ,aims and nobler
ways, shunning ioohsh fads. "With such
a bunch of skates on deck," sadly I lament,
"this poor old world will go to wreck, I will
stake a cent;" the graybeards all agree I'm
right, and say the country's in a plight,
with all these giddy youths in sierht. on
amusements bent. There is, alas, no surer sign, that I'm
out of date, than. are these mournful words of mine, which
I here relate; for when a man talks bunk at last, com
pares the present with the past, and finds degeneration
vast, he should pull his freight.

L. W. Rogers, theosophist, has at last thrown a great
light on "what is to come after us," which. Solomon inti
mated no one could do. Mr. Rogers has it figured out to
a nicety. He says "when a man is dead he does not know
he is dead." lie then explains that the astral world
where one goes when he dies, is so exact a duplicate off1
this that the corpse does not know he has moved. He
also explains that the dead ones "chum around with their
old friends in the old haunts and try to converse with the
living, being sorely troubled when they are unaware of
his presence." Considering some things a fellow runs up
against it is not hard to believe Mr. Rogers is on the right
track at least. Still the idea is not original with him, for
an Irishman one time seeing a turtle walking around
after its head had been cut off explained to an inquirer
that "sure he is dead but he hasn't found it out vet."

Police Judge Oppenheim of San Francisco had a
woman before him recently on a charge of violating the
pure food and drug act in selling hair tonic which it is
claimed would not work. The woman insisted it would
start hair on anything less dense than a billiard ball. The
judge was bald headed. Will it start hair on this? he in
quired, pointing to his summer fallow. It will, said the
woman, ami the judge applied it, letting the woman go
pending the results of the medical irrigation. If the down
starts she will be acquitted, if not she will probably be
outside the jurisdiction of the bareheaded one anyway, so
why speculate.
