ENigcncy Over Which Government

WASHINGTON, September 24-De-
bate on the war revenue bill was in
full swing when tho House adjourned
tonight, with passage assured to-mor-
row by an overwhelming majority. The
measure was taken under special
rule limiting debate to seven '.nurs and

Democratic Leader Underwood and
Representative Payne. OF New York,
ranking Republican member of the
Ways and Means Committee, opened the
discussion after the fight over the rule
Mr.. Underwood said the country was
facing a worid-w disturbance Of

was necessary to meet an cXigency

Tenses.

Underwood said. and the additional
s15.000,000 had been deposited because
OF the closing OF the stock exchange;
the change OF foreign nations to pa
per basis; the dumping OF foreign
stocks and other reasons.
IF We had not gone to the rescue"
he added. "the result would have shak
en- the financial world from centre to
circumference"
Mr.. Underwood said the Democrats
had followed the Spanish War taxes Of
the Republicans With few exceptions,
and reminded minority leaders that
they approved the plan in 1898.
Representative Payne declared the
trade balance against the United States
in the first thirteen months of the
Democratic tariff law exceeded $780,
100000, and that responsibility for
financial troubles now lay at the door
OF the Democratic tariff. He asserted
that in 1916 there would be no revenue
from sugar. and asked where the Demo
Gratis would get the Si0,o00,00O to
counterfeit that loss.
Mr.. Payne reminded Mr. Underwood
that he and other Democrats opposed
the Republican Spanish War tax.

Red Cross Stamps.

The Connecticut State Tuberculosis Commission is greatly gratified over the desire shown by health societies and other interested committees to act as sales agents in the state wide Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign.
 This is cooperation of the most effec- tive and valuable kind and should re- suit in greatly increased sales as well as in advancing the crusade against the Great White Plague.
 State Director ClearInan has made arrangements for over fifty agencies in the western part of Connecticut, while the eastern and central sections will probably be covered by hundred more. These agencies retain 85 per- cent. of the proceeds of the seal sale for local anti tuberculosis work, which makes the sale in such communities a purely local health enterprise.

Church, who in the course of his earthly life was bereft of four wives, all of whom were buried in the same lot In his old age it became necessary to remove the remains to a new cemetery. This he undertook himself, but in the process the bones became hopelessly mixed. His "New England conscience would not allow him under the painful circumstances to use the original headstones, so he procured new ones, one of which bore the following inscription:
 "Here lies Hannah Church and prob ably portion of E,nily.'
 Another:
 "Sacred to the memory of Emily Church, who seems to be mixed with Matilda"
 Then followed these lines: Stranger, pause and drop tear, For Emily Church lies buried here, Mixed in some perplexing manner With Mary, Matilda and probably Han

PREPARE FOR SUMMER VISITORS
War Likely Will Create Demand for
 Accommodations Here.

Accommodations Here.
 The war in Europe is almost certain to increase travel in this country next summer and it will be to the advantage of those who cater to the wants of the summer visitors to prepare for it. Even though this titanic struggle is ter minated before the travel season be- gins, which now seems unlikely, con- ditions in Europe will hardly be propi- tious for travel abroad and for the en- tertainment of American tourists.
 This means that the vast army of Americans whic every year has sailed for vacation abroad must seek recrea- tion and rest in this country. Not only should it lead to an appreciable in- crease in tlie number of visitors at hotels and summer boarding houses, but it should also result in keeping in circulation here the millions of dollars which these Americans have taken abroad to spend and so will make for the economic welfare ofBthe country.
 The number of Americans who go abroad every year for pleasure has been variously estinated. some idea of it
 
 cabin passengers landed at the port of New York in single year. In 1912 for example, the figures show that 146, ,915 persons arrived at New York in the first cabin and 19S, 041 in the second cabin, or a total of 344, 956. The proportion of Europeans in this num- Der was small. While impossible to distinguish between tourists and those whom business took abroad, it is reasonable to assume that the bulk of these returning Americans was made up of pleasure seekers. 1t is estimated that the amount of money which this country may thus retain next summer may be reckoaed as between $100, 900, . 900 and $200. 900, 900.
 With the number of Americans, equipped with this spending power, kept in this country next year there is the prospect of rich harvest for those running hotels and summer boarding houses, particularly in New England. But unless present accommodations are enlarged before next summer there is chance that many cannot be taken care of.
 New England may be expected to exert its lure upon many of those kept home from abroad next year. With it's wonderful opportunities for recreation and pleasure it should, in fact, get the cream of this business if the proper foresight is exercised.
 It has been estimated that more than million and quarter people spend their vacations annually in New Eng land. On the railroad lists there were last year 4,400 hotels and boarding houses with total capacity of 222, 100 persons. If all those who went abroad last year should seek a New England vacation at the same time there would thus be just about room to accom- modate them without allowing for the normal business.

Pity the War Horse.

Our hearts go out to the horse. Next to man he is the greatest victim of the war. He goes in and gets killed, thousands of them, and he doesn't know what for. It's no affair of his
 He doesn't care which wins, German, French, English or Russian-it is all alike to him. He gives up his life for one just as soon as for the others. He doesn't hesitate. He rushes up to the blazing cannon just as freely as he scampers across the green fields, not thinking or caring for death. He gives up his life for some country, he doesn' t know which. In artillery or cavalry he plunges to death and becomes part of the havoc of war without reason or reward. He belongs to the armament and is on a level with power, gun, cannon and sword, and yet he is a part of the soldiery when it comes to suffer- ing and cruelty. Never does he ex- perience the old Roman sentiment: "It is sweet to die for one's country" He hasn't any-he belongs to all mankind, and this is the way they treat him. Ohio State Journal.
