Anderson It will no doubt be pleasing to many of our readers to learn that the Supreme Court of the United States on Nov. 8th sustained an important ruling of a former Ohio "boy," the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, ex-collector of Internal Revenue, New York City, upon the corporation tax feature of the Payne-Aldrich law which was re-enacted in the present tariff law. The case referred to is that of The Forty-two Broadway Corporation of New York city versus Charles W. Anderson, ex-collector of the Port of New York. The issue was the construction or interpretation of the language in the first clause of paragraph 2 of the 38th section of the corporation tax act. The Fortytwo Broadway Corporation is a realty corporation and was organized to construct a building and collect and pay over rentals. The corporation had a nominal capital of only $600 paid up and a bonded debt amounting to $4,750. The corporation claimed the right to deduct from its gross income the interest paid on this bonded debt while the ruling of the collector, Charles W. Anderson, was to the contrary. The corporation won in the Federal court for the southern district of New York, and the judgment was later affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. The case was then carried by the Government to the Supreme Court of the United States and in the opinion handed down by Mr. Justice Pitney the judgment was reversed and the ruling of Ex-Collector Charles W. Anderson sustained. This decision will result in greatly enriching the United States treasury. From the very beginning Collector Anderson insisted that he would not permit, if it were possible to prevent it, any legal legerdemain to destroy the spirit of the Income Tax Law, even where the corporations seemed to be obeying the letter of it. It now turns out that he was right. This decision will affect many millions of dollars, for there are an infinite number of corporations in the country which have been capitalized at thirty cents, and yet carry a bonded indebtedness of many millions. This practice will no longer be sufficient to avoid the payment of the tax which would have to be paid if the corporations were properly capitalized. Score another for that Ohio "boy," in New York, the Hon. Charles W. Anderson.—Cleveland Gazette. · FREE UNTIL 1916. Have you subscribed yet for the Youth's Companion for 1916?

NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED AT THIS OFFICE. A MAMMOTH TREE That the largest shade tree in the United States as brought to light by the prize contest held by the American Genetic Association, should turn out to be the eastern sycamore is not surprising, say government foresters. The sycamore has long been regarded as the largest deciduous tree in North America and its range of growth is hardly second to that of any other broad-leaf tree; for it is found from Maine to Florida, and as far west as Kansas. The bestowal of the prizes on a sycamore at Washington, Ind., which is 42 feet 3 inches in circumference and 160 feet tall, draws attention to the fact that foresters are nowadays recommending the species especially for city planting. They say that long experience with sycamores planted in city streets has shown that the species is peculiarly able to withstand the smoke, dust, and gases which are usually an unavoidable complement of urban life. In addition, the sycamore is as resistant to attacks of insects and fungie as almost any species, and is a quick grower; at ten years of age, a healthy sycamore usually is already large enough for shade as well as for decorative purposes. As for the latter, there is hardly any eastern species which is generally held so picturesque as the sycamore, with strikingly mottled bark and magnificent stature. Could Lift a Ton and a Half. A Scotchman, said to be the last of the Stuarts, was possessed with an extraordinary strength, from which circumstance he got the byname of Jemmy Strength. Among other feats, he could carry a twenty-four pounder cannon and had been known to lift a cartload of hay weighing a ton and a half upon his back. Many a time he took up a jackass and, carrying it on his shoulders, walked through the tollgate Handicapped. "A rich woman misses much in life." "As to how?" "She can't run out to the back fence when she gets hold of a choice bit of gossip. She has to get up a tea or reception, and by that time the news is stale."—Louisville Courier-Journal.

Professor Bilks (gallantly)—Oh, no, Miss Knowles; quite the contrary, I assure you.—Boston Transcript. Not The "Leader Of The Race." Dr. Booker T. Washington was not "The leader of the Negro race." The best that can truthfully be claimed for him is that he was a leader of the race as an exponent of the industrial education idea. He was the leader of all peoples, the world over, in this respect, much as the daily press of the country has tried to confine his leadership, of all kinds, to "the Negro race." It is a notorious fact that a great majority of the leading men and women of the race have never accepted Dr. Washington's leadership except when it comes to the matter of industrial education. This same thing is true of the majority of the masses of our people. The course he was compelled to pursue to promote the interests of his great school, the Tuskegee Ala., Normal and Industrial Institute, made it impossible for him to follow the course "the leader of the Negro race must pursue. It is true, that Tuskegee Institute is the greatest thing of the kind in the world and it has done great work. But the sacrifice, in rights and privileges, our people have been forced to make ever since Dr. Booker T. Washington made that Atlanta, Ga., "separate-as-the-fingers-of-the-hand" speech, many years ago, is a thousand times greater than the benefits of all kinds derived from his work and that of the school. It was this latter that made Mr. Washington the commanding figure along educational lines he grew to be. He was undoubtedly the world's leader, as we have said, regardless of race or class, when it comes to the matter of industrial education.-The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette. CHOPSTICKS IN JAPAN. How They Are Used and How They Are Served In Public Places. The use of chopsticks is general in Japan, except among the richer classes, who have adopted European knives and forks, and, to some extent, the European cuisine. Small bowls of china or lacquered wood are the usual table equipment. After the various solid portions of the food have been lifted to the mouth with chopsticks the liquid remaining is sipped from the bowl. In the case of rice, which would be tedious to pick up grain by grain, the bowl is often raised to the mouth and the rice shoveled or pushed in with the chopsticks. It is also customary to pour a little tea into the rice bowl after it has been nearly emptied, and in this way the few remaining grains of rice are washed down as the tea is drunk. At public places the chopsticks at each meal must be new. This is indicated by the fact that the chopsticks are made from one piece of wood and are left joined together, as were matches at one time in the United States. These new chopsticks are incased in a thin paper envelope, sealed at the end, and bearing Japanese characters advertising either the hotel or some firm that has furnished them free to the proprietor for the sake of the publicity thus gained. Toothpicks, which are freely used by all Japanese at meals, are also inclosed in envelopes that frequently bear advertising matter.—New York Times. San Diego, California, has a street clock which cost $3,000. It is 21 feet high, and is enclosed in a glass case, so that all the working parts are plainly visible. The clock has 20 dials, which tell the time in the principal cities of the world. It also tells the passer-by the day of the week and the day of the month. YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE The Custom of Dating Proclamations by the President. While the president of the United States dates official documents from the year of the Declaration of Independence, there is no law on the subject, and the custom is neither general nor binding, the form being used only in proclamations by the president. It originated before the adoption of the constitution during the days of the confederacy. The original articles of confederation show they were signed by the delegates "at Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania, the 9th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1778, and in the third year of the independence of America." The signers dated "the independence of America" from the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776, although the war was still young and continued several years longer. The constitution shows it was signed "the 17th day of September A. D., 1787, and of the independence of the United States of America the 12th." The first proclamation issued by Washington as president was, "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States in the city of New York the 14th day of August A. D., 1790, and in the fifteenth year of the sovereignty and independence of the United States." He used the phrase "sovereignty and independence" in two proclamations and then dropped the word sovereignty. All subsequent executive proclamations are dated from the year of independence, as beginning July 4, 1776, although the independence of the United States was not acknowledged till several years later. — Philadelphia Press. KIT-CAT PORTBAITS. Orgin of the Term That Stands For Stupid Mediocrity. Several years ago an eastern art critic waxed sarcastic concerning a collection of paintings on view at one of the leading New York clubs. In the course of a vitriolie trade he relieved himself of the assertion that the exhibition consisted chiefly of kit-cat portraits. Those who went to the clubrooms expecting to see canvases adorned with feline compositions were condemned to disappointment. There was not a cat picture in the whole show. "What is a kit-cat portrait?" was the burning question of the hour. Why, a stupid portrait, a commonplace piece of painting that reveals no glimmer of genius. At this stage of the explanation the inevitable interruption—"But why do you call it a kit-cat picture?" And not one critic out of a hundred had the remotest idea. The term for stupid mediocrity had its origin in a collection of forty-two portraits of prominent men painted between 1703 and 1720 by Sir Godfrey Kneller, one of the best known British portrait painters. They were exactly the same size and were framed alikor hence the idea of monotony which led to the idea of mediocrity. The subjects of these portraits were members of a club that met in the tavern of a celebrated pastry cook, Christopher Cat—called Kit for short—and among them were such men as Addison, Steele, Walpole and Marlborough. It was the influence of this club that placed George L. on the throne of England.—Exchange Watching Royalty Eat. The Saxon court appears to have been the last to preserve the custom of dining in public, initiated at Versailles under the ancient regime. Lady Clarendon notes in her journal on Oct. 1, 1844, when she and her husband were traveling through Germany: "We were invited to dine with the king and queen of Saxony at their villa, near Dresden. The dinner was handsome, and what I liked best was to observe that the galleries commanding a view of the table had people quite of a common order in them. I was told that any one who chose was freely admitted."—London Express. The Negro And The M. E. Church In 1892 The General Conference said, "Since all ministers and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of every kindred, tribe and tongue are equally entitled to all the rights and privileges, the race or nationality of bishops is not a proper subject for legislation, but must be decided by the free votes of those vested with the responsibility of electing bishops." We glean from the above quotation: the following: 1. Racially speaking, all ministers are entitled to the right and privilege of being elected bishops in the church. Therefore, the colored ministers are entitled to this right and privilege. 2. This right and privilege are not to be secured through any legislation, general or special; but are to be secured through the "free votes" of the members of the General Conference. During this twenty years since the church thus spoke not one colored minister has been elected bishop—has not received this said right and privilege of ministers through this "free vote" policy. This "free vote" policy has worked a hardship upon both the church and upon the colored members—a hardship upon the church by making it appear unjust to a part of its members and a hardship upon the colored members by keeping them out of their rights and privileges. This "free vote" policy has surely defeated the ends of justice, and should be substituted by law or something else in which justice could have a better sway. The church and of these "free votes" is held before the bar of public opinion; and one day maybe called before the bar of general reckoning for the injustice this "free vote" policy has caused her to perpetrate upon her colored members. We are accountable for our method of doing as well as accountable for what we do. One may kill a man with either a hatchet or a gun. The weapon makes no difference, the deed is the same. One's attitude is no excuse for doing wrong, if it were the drunken thief and the angry man would be excused for any crime they committed while in those conditions. All one would have to do would be to get drunk, and while drunk any crime committed by him would be excusable. There is another sad feature about this "free vote" policy. The church's wronging us thru it may somewhat numb her sense of justice toward us, and enable her further to mistreat us. Justice and injustice in our conduct respectively incline us to them or repel us from them. Slavery, lottery, gambling, horse-racing were once tolerated, indulged in, supported by the church, but now it is different. Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be dreaded needs but be seen; But seen too of't, familiar with his face, We first pity, endure, then embrace. Sylvester H. Norwood. Baltimore, Md.
