Cumberland behind the Times editorial
of Tuesday, that town is too sensitive.
Mr.. McCurdy's talk is mild compared
with Christ's delivcranceS TO the citizens
of Jerusalem shortly after He purified
the temple by throwing the money
changers i'll the street
The people of Cumberland, of course,
are better than those of Jerusalem at
that time, but Mr.. McCurdy could have
been more candid and shot under the
mark i'll dcnouncing the moral degener-
acy which follows congestion of popula-
ton.
And it is i'll order to state here for the
benefit of both Mr.. McCurdv and the
Scrihes and pharisecs of his city that
neither Cumberland nor any other town
can realize its ambition to grow bigger
without also growing dirtier.
In the city the law of filth is stronger
than the law of cleanliness.

Consistency /?

Mr.. Acheson, IL PENNSYLVANIA CON

oath to support the Constitution in the
matter of ''tictitious representation

But he is no doubt one of those who
forget the Constitution when Congress
hands prerogative, exclusively its own,
concerning the size of the Standingarmy
over to the President-an assignment
dangerous to white and black alike and
generally subversive of republican i'll

In connection with the ethics of ''haZ-

pondent of the Baltimore .S"0 concludes
Il letter as follows:
The institutions at Annapolis and West
Point for the education of officers for the navy
and army are in principle un-American, and
instead of being encouraged should be an
minated. Anything that tends to create a
class should be vigorously downed, and that
is what these schools are doing, more so
every year. You may search the whole
world through and you cannot find class of
human beings more cIannish and exclusive
than the army officers We must be very
careful lest a social wrong create social
problem.
Every word true-not in the purport
that the country should have no army
nor navy, but i'll the sense that govern
ment should promote no arlstocratic
mordIc III its service.
Both at Annapolis and West Point the
officer, present and prospective, looks
with contempt upon the civilian.
In other words, the servant is greater
than his master; indeed, i'll contact the
eater regards the tax payer asa social
outlaw.
Still the appropriations for navy and
army flow out of the taxpayers pockets
into the taX-eaters' exclusive mess, ball
and banquet halls-appropriations made
by the votes Of congressman who are
attorneys of the navy and army rather
than representatives of the people.

Wants "a More Tcndcrer Word"

y Cumberland gentleman, writing IL
business letter to the JOURNAL, adds as
pOstscript:
| notice you speak of the tariff robbiDg
paper-COnsumers. Is not rob" a harsh
word to use in that connection
The JOURNAL employed the term adyi-
sedly. In 20 Wallace, page 657, the
Supreme Court of the United States
said:
To lay with one hand the power of the
government on the property of the citizen,
and with the other to bestow it upon favored
individuals to aid private enterprises and
build up private fortunes, is none the less
robbery because it is done under the forms of
law and is called taxation.
1t is settled that "the tariff is a tax"
yet the Court would say of the levy of
the Paper trust upon aper-consumers
under the protection of the tariff
there can be no iamtM tax which is not
laid for a pnJlic purpose
The beneticiaries of the prohibitive
tariff on paper and the raw materials of
paper-the few people who are gathering
90 per- cent. more than Il fair profit from
paper CONSUMERS, are robbers.
