After waiting: for the first hurst
of indigestion to subside, admirers
of the late Senator Mathew Quay

tion in the Legislature authorizing
setting up his statue in the new

On the other hand it is being point
ea out, ironically, that such a cap-

proposed that the statue monument.

WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, I). C, May 3, 1909
The speech of Senater Bailey on
an income tax. one of the ablest
which has been delivered on the
floor of the Senate for many a day,
and took two days to deliver, was
highly pleasing to Democrats, who
regard it as an unanswerable argu
ment in defence of the right of Con
gress to levy an income tax. Mr.
Bailey quoted from court opinions
and other authorities to substanti
ate his contention respecting the
constitutionality of such a tax, and
said: "That this is inquisitorial is
true, but not more so than any other
tax. To compel tne to tell the
source of my income, as done in
the State in which I live, is as in
quisitorial as to compel me lo tell
the amount of my income". As to
the plea that such a tax .would
make us a nation of liars, Mr.
Hailey said: "I will not insult the
American people by repeating that
charge, but I will repel it 11s an un
warranted reflection upon our peo
ple. I do not think a self-resnect-
ing American citizen will lie to es
cape the payment of a tax; and if
I shou d find a man who would
commit perjury to escape taxation,
1 would tavor disfranchising nun.
A scandal in the Census Bureau
is more than hinted at, to which
the Democrats in Congress are just
avvakenitig. Director North is
charged with insubordination and
it is questioned in administration
circles whether he has the capacity
to administer the affairs of the cen
sus ollice. lhe opinion obtains
that Mr. North's resignation will
be asked for by President Taft
within the next few days. Mr.
North himself declines to discuss
the matter entirely, except to say
that he has not intended to resign.
At the State department prepa
rations are in progress for a com
plete readjustment of our trade re
lations with the nations of the
world, to follow the enactment of
the new tariff law. In view of the
introduction of the maximum-min-mum
policy into our tariff law,
many treaties and arrangements
covering trade relations will of ne
cessity be abrogated and new ones
must be negotiated, and to accom
plish this amicably and without in
volving the United States in com
mercial wars with her rivals is a
herculean task which will call for
all the ability and ingenuity of our
eminently able and tactful Secreta
ry of State. The President and
the leaders in Congress have every
confidence in the successful out
come of these negotiations in the
hands of Secretary Knox.
Mrs. Taft is now seen on the
streets of Washington and its sub
urbs driving her own electric runa
bout. Mrs. Taft is as fond of mo
toring as isj the President and de
sired to run her own car. but the
President objected to her driving
one of : the large gasoline touring
cars, with which the former stables
of the White House are equipped,
and a compromise was reached in
the electric runabout.

"Mothers' Pay" To Be Widely Ob
served. "Mothers' Day," the second
Sunday in May. will be observed
mote widely than ever this year
Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia,
oiiginaied its observance three
years ago. She thought it would
)e a beautiful tribute to all mothers,
the dead as well as the living, if
their children would unite, 011 one
day in the year, in wearing a sim
pie white ilower in evidence of
filial honor and love. Miss Jarvis
chose the while carnation as the
flower, its color typifying purity;
its form beaufy; its fragrance, love;
its wide field of growth, charily;
its lasting qualities, faithfulness
all virtues ol a true motherhood.
In several American cities the
Mayors in past years have issued
special proclamations recommend
ing the general celebration of the
d iy, wh ch has also been marked
by the singing of mothers' hymns
in the home and by special services
and distribution of white flowers in
the Sunday Schools and the
churches.
Gov. Vesscy, of South Dakota,
has officially ordered the observ
ance of the day in that State this
year. In his proclamation he says
in part:
"Recognizing the importance of
the home as the fountain-head of
society, and realizing that no
statesmanship or legislation can
save us if our homes become abodes
of ignorance and degradation, I,
R. S. Vessey, Governor of the
State of South Dakota, hereby set
apart and designate the second
Sabbath iu our national memorial
month of May as Mothers' Day, in
grateful and loving remembrance
of the one who, iu our infancy
watched over us with tenderest
care, in our youth gently guided
us to higher ideals, the counsellor
of our maturer years.
"The fitness of the observance
of this day appeals to all social,
fraternal, civil, military and relig
ious organizations alike; to him
who has missed life's crowning joy,
the tender ministrations of a
mother's love, no less than to the
one who has derived the elements
of a noble character from the ma
ternal care bestowed in childhood.
Probably never before was a move
ment inaugurated which iu such a
short time attained national recog
nition."

Strangely Affected Trout
Last Friday Clark Mills caught
three trout in Foundry rim, which
empties into Catawissa creek at the
paper mill says the News Item.
The fish were from 7 to 9 inches in
length, strong and vigorous. When
he cleaned them he noticed that
the bladders were of abnormal size,
almost completely filling the inside
of the fish. Upon attempting to
burst them they resisted pressure
and an examination showed them
filled with lively little white worms
about three-fourths of an inch in
length and the thickness of a hair.
He placed a lot of them in a bottle
of water and will preserve them for
development.
This is a strange freak, one which
Editor Randall has not met before
in over 40 years of trout fishing.
The matter has been referred to
the State Fishery Commission ior
solution.
The erection of a silk mill at
Lewistown is now a certainty.
The check in payment for the site
has been received by Mr. Fleming
from the Susquehanna Silk Mill
company, and ground will be bro
ken for the new buildings at once.
They will be 300 feet long by 200
feet wide.
