The im pression is Bkudily gaining ground that the Democratic excise-income a, which proposes to place upon wealth a part of the burden of bus. taining the fciverutnent. will pass the Senate aud tue Wiiire House. Senator Penrose, nn pretends to be leader of toe utandotteri iu the Sen ate, has iiittUo tne btaiciueut that cone of the Democratic bills would be allowed to pass the Senate, but it is becoming more and more apparent that Senator Penrose and those who believe as he does no longer have the power to "allow" certain measures to pass, or prevent others from pass ing. The truth is, a great m. ny of the Senators, on both sides of the cham ber, either because they are at last frightened by the wave of protest against the high tariff injustice, or because they believe in the inherent justice of the income tax measure, havecome to look favorably ou the mea.ure. A least there has been a cessation of talk about the "uncon stitutionality" of the bill, and since this always has been the standpat way of opposing all logical measures the sign is considered a good one. Nobody pretends t o know, of course, what President Taft will do in the event the bill passes the Senate and reaches him, but from the amount of populai approval that has been accorded the measure, it is admitted by even tue friends of the President that a veto of this measure will mean political suicide for him. The present tar: ft law rases about $330,000,000 a year in government revenue. And for every dollar of revenue turned into the United States treasury it is estimated by Democratic leaders in Congress who have studied the question from every possible angle, that the tariff barons put five into their own pockets in the form of loot. In other words, the tariff gives these beneficiaries the right to collect five dollars in tribute for every dollar the government col lects iu revenue. This condition is alone responsi ble for tbe horde of mushroom mil lionaires in this country. Oa every hand the people pay tribute. In tbe past the tariff barons have urged a tariff for two principle rea. sons. 1 irst, they pretended that they wanted to protect American workingmen. That this argument, which the Republican protectionists listened to with a willing ear for the past sixteen years, is a farce, pure and simple, has been proven by the Democrats at this session of Con. gress, chiefly through the various investigations into trust methods. Secondly, the trusts urged that in no other way could revenue to support the government be collected. Having disposed of the first argu ment, the Democrats, through the zcise-income tax bill, hive offered a solution of the other alleged diffi culty. The Democratic party be lieves there is another way to meet the expenses of government, and that that way lieB through an in. come tax. And pn the merits of that belief the party is going to ask for national support next November. Two Irresistible Measures. The bill repealing the tax on sugar, which will reduce the price to the consumer two cents a pound if the measure is enacted into law, and the bill to place a tax on all in comes in excess of $5,000 a year, are two of the most important meas. ares passed by the House of Repre sentatives in the last 25 years. .These sister bills, conceived and framed by Democratic committees, were so good, in fact, that 80 Repub licans were forded to vote for them. "Forced to vote for them" is the correct expression, because the Be futlicans refused steadfastly when in power to pass" inch legislation, or v:3 to consider it, but when the De mocrats forced them to tote one r: 7 or the other, they were afraid tj t:i rinst either bill lect their constituent) retire them to private life. 7 "Protection" and Wages. The American Jewe'erb' Aesocia. tion; whiuh is tbe ' other name fai ths watch trust, recently sect to each member of Congress an elab orately prepared booklet, described as "A Report Oa tbe Relative Cost of Producing Watch Movements in America and European Countries." The whole argument of the booklet centers aroun an attempt to prove that it costs more in this country to produces watch than it dots abroad, because of the '-higher labor cost. " . While dedicated to watohes, tbe report devotes two pages to showing tne difference iu wages in other lines, the general purpose being to demon, strate that wages, in all lines of in dustry, are higher in America than they are in Europe. Following is one of the tables of figures : England. America. Per Week. Bookkeepers, $7.75 $20.79 Clerks, 4 70 13.75 Bricklayers, 9.10 31.20 Teamsters, 6.00 12.00 Watchmen, 6.48 15.00 Carpenters, 8 85 27.25 Painters, 8 16 21.80 A study of the above column be comes doubly interesting when it is Been that every one of the occupa tions given s unprotected by a tariff. In til classes of labor in this ctuntry the "America! wage" and the ''American standard" is a real ity except in these classes controled by tbe tariff truBts. The truet9 nuke all the noise about "protect mg" American labor, and yet it is only the unprotected labor of this country which really enj wa an ad. vantage over the labor of Europe ,in tho matter of wages. The Democrats have proven at this session of Congress that the tariff trusts share none of their loot witb their own laborers, and the watch trust "slipped a cog" when it cited tbe high wages of unprotected American workers as a reason for maintaining the present high tariff on watches.

World was never more right when it says that tbe nomina tion os Mr. Roosevelt for President wonld be a great calamity, but his 0 ;mpaign for the nomination is a great public benefit. He is shaking up tbe dry bones of fossilized re. sptctability. He is scaring the Re. publican party out of its snug self complacency. He is driving it down tbe road of political progress in spite of itself, and the further he drives it the better. The Republican party can no longer stand pat. It is obliged to move with the procession and "pan der to tbe moral sentiment of the community," as Fernando Wood us ed to say. Tbe Rochester Conven tion furnishes o'nly one illustration out of many of the excellent results of Mr. Roosevelt's dash for the White House. It is a far more representative con vention than would have been held had not Mr, Roosevelt tried to seize a third term. It is a far more pro srressive convention. It will come closer to meeting the real issues of American politics. It is thinking much more about tne American peo ple and much less about the Wall street contributors to the campaign fund than it wcu Id have done had not Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy threatened the country with political disaster. The national platform will be a better platform than it would have been if Mr. Raosevelt had kept out of the contest. A better platform at Chicago will force a better plat, form at Baltimore. The Democrat, ic party will have to keep up with the procession if it wants to win. The battle for the maintenance of our Republican form of government has been fought and won. Mr. RcoBevelt's third-term candidacy has collapsed. His patent.medicine remedies have been repudiated by the cammon sense of the American people; but the real issues remain. Popular discontent does not end vmh the downfall of Mr. Roosevelt's ambition i r with the repudiation of his spuiious noBtrumj. Tariff abus. ee, corporation abuses, fiaancial abuses, court abuses, boss rale and privilege int.enched behind the law these are all vital questions grounded in real public wrongs. Mr Koosevelt's campaign has shown even the Bourbons of American politics that thesa issues can no longer be ignored but must be dealt with, or this country will elect Roosevelt or worse than Roosevelt. Let them dispel all illusions about that. A Job far Drt Wiley. A New York department store owner has offered Dr. Wiley a posi tion as pure food expert at a salary of $12,000 a yaar.

Ill Health is No Longer Fashion ble it is Frequently a Disgrace. It is no longer considered honor. abU, polite, or the correct thing to ke sic and ailing. It was, thirty years ago, in some parts of the conn try. la the social world it used to be considered effeminate, dainty, and rtfined to be in "ill-health," "to be delica'e," or ''just been sick all win. ter." This UBed to elicitexpressions of genuine sympathy from the hear erf; but it does not any more. We have sassed that state. Nw, when we hear such tolk we suspect one or two things; either thut the chronic grunter or the chronic would-be. sick is faking and offering a flimsy excuse for some negligence or nonperform ance of duty, or else, if he should really happen to be sick, that such a plea is an open admission that in nine cases cut of ten he has been guilty of violating some of nature's fundamental laws; that he has not bathed regularly, exercised properly, nr that he has eaten eluttonously or d sobayed some other equally simple fundamental law ot neaun. Ill-health, say what you will, in dicates in a mai rity of cases the lack of will power or purpose to maintain f undamentaljhabita in re gard to eating, drinking, attending the cal s of nature regularly, Darn ing, and proper exercise in the open air and sunlight. Being sick is fast coming into disrepute these d'tys, fur the simple reason thai thinking people have seen that tuis thing ol being sick is really disgracesul. They are. therefore, inclined to keep it a secret if they feel badly, have a headache, or some such minor ail ment that indicates that s:me laws of health have been disobeyed. On the other hand, it is strongly presuming upon the credulity of another to deliberately offer '"the sick plea" as an excuse for the non. ferformance of duty, lnis is now looked upon largely as a negro ruse, and to try to perpetrate such a trick or deception upon any thinking per. son is an inBulr. But there is one unre side to this question of being everlastingly sick und ailing. It is this: You can not hold ill health thoughts, or dis ease thoughts, in the mind without actually having them outpictured in the body to a certain extent. Every body knows it is impossible for a person to remain absolutely pure, who habitually hoi Is pictures of impurity in the mind; so it is just as impossible to be healthy wnile continually asserting and holding forth the disease thought. Ou the other hand, the autosuggestion that we are net sick, that we are well, that we are not downcast, that we are happy, anil so on, has buoyed up many a person who otherwise would soon have been really sick or de spondent. ' To sum the world mc tter up, one can be either sick or well, to a very lare extent, by just continually as serting to one's self and hearers that he iB sick or well. Certain peo ple have found so much truth in this principle of auto-suggestion that they have founded a religious sect that believe in healing entirely by this method. While we do not advocate taking this advanced ground, yet there is so much truth in the principle that we cannot too strongly urge abandoning the old idea of beinf everlastingly sick and ailing when we really are not.

The jnest'iiu is often debated as to ' whether persons who lose tlielr lives In a tire developinR with great rapid ity undergo extreme physical suffer ing. An authoritative opinion Is e pressed by the New York MedicalJour nal, which nuys: "Unnecessary an guish of mind has probably been felt , by relatives of unfortunate workers killed In fmtory fires by reflection on; tbe supposedly agonizing pain cansed by such a deuth. Where a great bulk of highly inflammable substances is quickly consumed In a closed space the result Is the production of .large quan-' titles of carbon monoxide.
