It seems to ino as nn outslcU'f that America cannot nffoiil to decline this Imperative obli gation, tlu Kreatest oppoitunlty nvc et presented for lmpioving tho con dition of millions of human belnijs " The letter which Secretin y Long sent to tho Clulstlan Hndeavor convention the otlier day In responso to a icqueet fur hU views on expansion, coincs 1 letty close to being the common sense of the question. Wild he: "With to ward to the territorial expansion of the United States It would seem to mo that tho word to say to our young people Is that they should reeognlzo It us adding to the duilee anil lesponal bllllies of the good citizen. It i ilses new problems In our government of the people and for the people whkh can best bo met by lacing them and by bringing high pui poses and hearty en deavor to their solution. Thero U no reason why, while It may put upon our country now bunions ancj risks and expense. It should not rebult In the Inrger civilization of the world. The exparslon of our country meuns the expansion of our system of education, of our principles of free government, 3f additional securities to life, liber ty, and tho pursuit nf happiness, an well aa of our commorco nnd of tho distribution of the products of our In dustries and labor. I would advise, therefore, that they do not waste much time in rogreta over what they might wish had been ordered otherwise, but to accept the situation nnd make tho best of it " Finally, we quote from n speech by Governor Uoosevelt accompanying tho presentation of a sword to Commodore Philip: "You and your comrades nt Manila and Santiago did their part well and mote than well. Kallor and sol dier, on sea and on land, have bought with their valor, their Judgment, their skill nnd their blood a wonderful til uniph for Amerlcn. It now restn with out statesmen to see that the triumph ta not made void, In whole or In part. By your sword you won from war a glorlnup pence It Is for the statesmen at 'Washington to see that the treaty which concludes the pence Is latllled. Cold Indeed are the hearts of those Ameiicans who shrink away from war and peace, when the war nnd peace alike arc for the honor nnd the Interest of Ameilcn. To refuse to tntlfy the Meaty would be n ctlmo not only ngnlri3t America, but against civiliza tion. Wo cannot with honor shrink from completing the work we have be gun. To leave the task half done, whether In tho r.att or the "West In dies, would be to make the matter wot.se than If we had never entered upon It. We have driven out n eoi- uipt mediaeval tyranny. In Cuba nnd Poi to Hleo we are already striving to Intioduce orderly liberty. Vv'e shall be tunneled with tho steel of clinging shame if we leave tho Philippines to fall into n welter of bloody nnaichy, In Me ad of taking hold of them and gov erning them with righteousness and justice. In the lnterestd of their own people ever more than In the interests of ours " These opinions are leviesentntlve. Bv what line of reasoning tho houe JudlclTt.v committee has reached the conclusion that It is lawful for n mem bei of congiess to serve his country In some other civil capacity without los ing his commission as a congressman but unlaw till for him to totaln his con gressional credentials while serving aa a volunteer toldler tho public Is not et informed. But if this is the law It has a ery lop-sided appearance. Gibson's Income Tax. Senator Olbson of Urle has intro duced at llanlsburg a. state Income tax bill which, If Intended seriously, should be Mifllclent to qualify him for political retirement at the next oppor tunity. His bill pioposes to impose on gains, profits or Incomes dcilved ftom any kind of property, rents, lnteiest.s, dlvldind or salary or from any profes sion, trade, emplojment or oeatIevi can led or. In this state1, a nt of one tenth of one per centum on all sums between $1,000 nnd $3,000: two-tcutha of one per centum on &ums between $3,000 and $10,000; three-tenths of one per centum nn sums between $10,000 and $20,000: four-tenths of ono per centum on all sums between $30,000 and $30,000, and one mill of additional tax ation shall be added for every addi tional $",000 up to M0O.O0O: tin eo per centum on all sums above $100,000. In terest on bonds oi sictirltlcs of this state and of the United States aie ex empt from taxation. The word Income as used in the act shall be taken to moan gross profit. The ta is to be collected by the present tax collection s.stem, and all persons liable under the act must make a swotn stntenient of a complete and full return of their gains, profits nnd Income. There is justification for ti tax on Incomes only when other forms of tax ation fall to meet the Just expenses of government. Such a contingency Is not pic'sented rcr Is It piobable In TVnn slvnnln. The man who proposes to tax thrift and ability wantonly should be a maiked man In the politics of Penns Iv.inia.

This feat was not only he role in iticlf to an exttaordlnarv degree but it was followed by an Intelligent care of the health and welfare of the hutv Ivors making conspicuous eoutiast with tho mismanagement of tho nrmv that followed Duiing the time that Shaftei s men were catching fvor and chopping out of line by tho livnelieda befoie Santiago the Mai Inn corps, en camped In futly as unhealthy a locality, suffeiecl scarcel a death. The reason given 1.-5 that tho weie well sheltered and well fed nnd made to observe tho necessary pieeautlona. The navy, In other words, had olllcerj who knew their business. This fact Is shown In t.trlklng fash ion in the lepoit of tho sin goon general of the navy. Tho avetage unmet leal strength ot the navy fiom Apill to No ember of last year was 20,10.2. Tho total deaths during that poilod wero clghtv-ilve. Llghtecn men wero killed In battle or tiled trom wounds, eleven weie killed by accident nnd fifty-six died of disease, making tho death into 10 41 pei 1,000 for everything nnd S.13 per 1,000 trom disease Thero Is, It Is declared, no illage In tho country that can how tuch a lecoid, not jven the health resorts along thu seashoio nnd at the springs. It Is to be remembered, also, that this covers operations In all climates nnd temperatures, from tho tropics to the Icebergs, The bast wishes of the entire coun try will follow this attempt to pay honor to tho bravo men who uu3talne?d with Btich patience, fortitude nnd prac tical soldiership tho first land attack by Spain upon the flag of tho United States. May our Marine corps always be so manned! The House committee on Inteistato unci Foreign commetce ha leported fa voi ably a bill authoring tho piesl- dent to purchase of Costa Rica and Nicaragua enough territory to Include, enclose and defend a shin canal from Oreytown to Brcto, nnd directing that when this strip of land In secured tho secretary of war shall, nt tut expense not exceeding $11G,000,000, cause n canal to be opened. In other words, the house committee v. ants tho United States to own and operate this canal exclusively. This would unquestionably bo tho most satisfactory solution of tho problem If It could be brought about; but wc fear the obftucles In the way will cnuso fatal delay If this plan li insisted upon. However, lot house nnd senate hasten to a conference so that the country may see what can bo done. Tho statesmen In congress who have for so many weeks past offered en couingement to tho Philippine Insurg ents by endeavors to block tho ratifi cation of tho Paris peace treaty, are more to bo censured for tho blood that linn been or may be shed nt Manila, than nro tho Ignorant and misguided rillplnos who must suffer. History fulls to furnish a parallel to the traitor ous stupidity that has been recently exhibited In the United Ktateb senate. If (Jeneial Miles Is punished for taking an Interest In the welfare of the soldiers under him during tho rp cent war, the United States might as well adopt the nil vice of antl-expan-sionlsts at once and withdraw from the Uast nnd be careful not to offend other nation". It Is encouraging to leain that the prospects of the naval personnel bill passing the senate ino bright. Tho Ametlenn nation owes this net of Jus tice to Its Incomparable sea fighters. Coventor Boose volt's announcement that he will sign no bill which dis criminates unfnhly between regular and volunteer soldiers Is char.icteilstlc of the man. Of couise theie Is danger that char ity In Cuba will bo abused. But that Is no argument against charity.

In acknowledgment of this greet lug Mr. Beverldge mndo a speech from which we print tn extract showing thu excellence of his illation as well as his toinmun sonso. "In my boyhood," wild he, "creedH measured their lovo of God by Until- hatrd of each other, and polit ical parllem demvnstratctd their uffectlon for the flag by pctpotunl pnitlsun wnr faro that Invaded soclnl relations. But today Christian hnrmony has taken tho place of stctnrlan slilfe, and pntrlotls brotherhood has dethroned partisan ran cor from the hearts and minds ot men. And so, tonight, at a reception given by a Bepubllcnn club to a. ltepubllcau min ister nnd n Bepubllcnn senator, Its most charming feature Is the Democratic pres enco with which wo arc favored and hon ored. And this, In tlm mind of Mr Harris us well ns mjsclf Italicizes tho thought that, after all, nnd before all, no Is an American minister ami I am an American senator." An instanco In which the course of true lovo did not inn smooth Is reported In n dispatch from Columbia, Mo., ns follows: "Claudo Christian nnd Miss Bosx Bo qua of tills county hnd a hard time get ting mnrrled yesterday, but they suc ceeded nfter many mishaps. Tho hour for tho ceremony was set for 0 o'clock lesteiday ovenhur, but it was not per formed until 10 o'clock.

Another vchlclo was obtained, but whllo the party wns crossing a creek It woa overturned and overono was thrown Into the water. Several of tho women. Including tho prospective bride, narrowly escaped diownlng, Tho party at Inst reached the altar, where tho cere mony was performed. The couple started home, but their third wagon ran Into n rut and was hopelessly broken, so they rode home on hoittback." Tho final agreement of tho colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South nnd West Australia to bind themselves together In nn Australian led cintiou Is announced Tho government of the federation will bo estcd In a gov crnor general, who will lcpresent the au thority of the queen, a parliament and house of representatives and an execu tive establishment consisting of scvui ministers.

"No man " onco said William MeKlnlty, "gets on so well in this world as ho whoso dally wnlk and conversation no clean and consistent, whose heart Is pure, and whoso life Is honorable. A rcllglouj hplilt helps every man. It U at once a comfort and an Inspiration, and makes him stronger, wiser "nd better In every relation of life. Thero Is no substitute for it. It may bo assailed by Its ene mies, as It has been, but they offer noth ing in its, place. It has stood the test of centuries and has never failed to help and bless mankind. The world has use for the jourg man who Is well groui.Ucel In principle, who hus reverence for truth nnd religion and courageously follows their teachings. Bmploment awUts his coming nnd honor crowns his path.
