GENERAL BOOTH
(Chicago Record Heraldl

Chicago Record Herald)
William Booth began his life's
work by saving those who seemed bent
or destroying themselves. He sought
the places that most of US avoid to
lend a helping hand to the degraded
and the criminal. He suffered per.
sonal abuse, was in constant danger of
brutal attacks, was subjected to
coarse ridicule, but never wavered.
If he left the slums of darkest Eng
land il was to return and TO renew his
appeals 20 what was human there with
hope and energy undated. He was, in
fact, wholly consecTated to the idea
that is accentuated in the name of his
army, an idea that has led not only
to religious conversions but 10 many
manifestations of practical benevo-
lence. The explanation of his success
lies in this absorption. Having an in
spring thought for the direction of
his activities, he was ennobled by his
cause and because he possessed excep-
tional organizing force and skill he

A BUSINESS AIRsHIP

Aeroplanes built and used for ex-
hibitions and races have made large
profits for certain daring and for
tunate birdmen, but no heavier-than-air
flying machine has yet paid a return
worthy of mention upon its cost from
money earned by carrying passengers.
That was the especial triumph of the
big dirigible balloon Schwaben, which
was wrecked while anchored in a
heavy wind, at Dusseldorf.
The news of the total destruction
I of this gaint airship was received by
readers in all countries as one more
| proof that whatever might be achieved
with dirigible balloons in the future
they were still costly experiments in
which money was sunk rapidly by the
Germans who persist in building them
and striving to make them a regular
and practical means Of transportation
| Probably no American who noticed
| that the Schwaben had been wrecked
thought that the big airship had al
ready earned its cost and its expenses
while in use.
But this great balloon had made
many regular trips. II had traverseL
$4,000 miles and carried more thar
5000 passengers. They had paid &
handsome price for their air voyages
and the capacity of the Schwaben's
cabins was usually tested on trip.

the giant airship had driven it a dis

posed TO stop now. They are putin,

Zeppelin's latest airship, has showl

was able to reach out from those Lon
don slums till the army had girdled
the earth.
The career that has closed with the
death of this man is one of the most
remarkable of the last half century.
General Booth remained always the
central governing force of the move
ment which he originated. His infiu-
ence was felt throughout all the
branches of the great world army as
it had been felt in the small bands that
surrounded him at the beginning. His
conquests were repeated among re-
mote nations and strange peoples But,
though he broke down national bar.
iiers, the army with all it's military
symbols has been prominently an
army of peace.
These battlefelds OF peace call for
the very finest exhibitions of disinter
ested service and heroism and give a
richer, deeper meaning to the military
emblems. It is to the lasting glory OF
General Booth that he won his title il

COMMENT FROM THE CAPITAL

The masses of the people produce
the wealth, and by legislative advan-
tage a few get possession of it, and
now those few object, and have pre-
vented, the transfer to wealth of even
the small amount of taxation derived
from the tariff on sugar, which is but
one of more than 500 things on which
the consumers pay tax. They would
prefer that the government continue
to tax sugar instead of wealth, be-
cause they eat no more sugar than the
section hand on the railroad or the
worker in the mill and therefore under
the present system of protection are
compelled to pay no greater tax to
the federal government than does the
poorest man.
NOT 4 FAIR RATIO.
II a fiscal system which requires a
millionaire to pay no more tax to the
national government than the section
hand or mill-worker is fair and just,
! there is no need of reform; but if
such a system is unjust, the income
tax and free sugar bills were moves
in the right direction.
The average citizen OF this country
eats 80 pounds of sugar year. A saw
ing of cents a pound would have
meant $3.50 per person a year, or a
/ saving of So to a family of five.
! Because of the obstructiOnists in
the senate, however, this saving is
/ not to be. The people must go on
paying an artificial price for sugar
so that the poor old sugar trust shall
not want for dividends Of its watered
stock, while the millionaires need not
bother about paying a single penny of
taxation on their wealth for the sup
port of the government Perhaps some
day it will be different But it will
not be until a democratic senate and
president is elected TO cooperate with
a house of representatives that is real
~ trying to represent the will of the
people of this country.
