war in Europe had caused the Pope
much depression from the first out
break and several days ago symp-
toms appeared of the old bronchial
aftliction from which the Pontitf
lad suffered in times past The
bronchial condition spread and on
Wednesday it was announced that
the Pope's condition was serious.
The doctor was unable to leave
the Vatican for a time owing to the
amelioration of a symptom He
said that nothing early IN the morn
ing had indicated the grave crisis
which had come on rapi lily. Shortly
after he left, Doctor Amici exam
gned the patient. He explained the
sudden collapse was due to the Pom

which also combined to give bron-
ehial catarrh. of an acute nature,

fastening Toward New Policy.

Events of the past two days have
prepared the country for an announce
ment by the administration of change
in its Mexican policy. Just what it
will be is still open TO wide conjec-
ture, but that it will come soon is be-
yond doubt
The United States is now in the de-
plorable position OF being absolutely
without resource for the protection of
its own citizens or for fulfilling the
obligations it has assumed with refer
ence to European powers. We have
refused TO recognize Huerta's govern
ment and have armed his enemies, who
now Tepudiate us. Carranza and Villa
defy lis and arrogsntly deny our right
to make inquiry or request, or TO lift
a finger of protest against murder of
foreign subjects. 1t is inconceivable
that this government can ever extend
recognition to either of them. So far
as they are concerned, we can only
wish we had Our arms and ammuni-
tion back 1t is equally inconceivable
that the administration will wait, while
murder and outrage continue, for some
new cutthroat liberator to arise and es-
tablish his claim TO recognition.
The problem of extrication is a diff
ficult one, and the people can only
earnestly continue to hope that states
manship will yet find way out with
out bloodshed. But something must be
done, and that without delay.

Last Day Of Income Returns.

All income tax schedules must be in
the hands of the collectors by tonight,
when the extreme limit of grace grant
ed by the executive. authorities will be
reached. Such vast amount of pub
licity has been given the subjec, that
the number of delinquents will be
small On the other hand there
can be no hope that more than half
of the complicated schedules will be
filled out accurately. It is altogether
new experience for nine out of ten
people who are compelled by the new
law to make returns.
The task is difficult enough for the
average salsried man; it is much more
so for the doctor, the lawyer, and the
man engaged in modest business of
his own or member of a small firm.
For this reason, when. the collection Of
fcials have completed the appalling
work of sorting the returns, discover
ing the endless errors and putting in
motion the machinery for their correc-
ton, the government will find it neces-
sary to proceed slowly in inficting
penalties for failure to comply with the
terms of the law.
The public, too, will watch with keen
interest for the first figures showing
even approximately the amount collected
and the cost of collecting it. That the
collection expense for the first year will

Taxpayers, Awake!

Self-preservation and duty to 9th.
ers demand that every taxpayer in
Washington enlist the support Of
some member of Congress in the eff
fort to defeat the JohEson-Pr
amendment to the George taxation
bill. The heartless injustice and
oppression to which this measure
subjects the small home owners of
Washington, the cunning and hypo-
crisy which marks the attempts to
secure its enactment, have been ex-
posed in The Herald. There are
hundreds of intelligent, fair-minded
members of the House of Repre-
sentatives who would gladly lend
their aid in defeating a measure
designed to persecute the $40, 900
people of Washington and extort
from them all Of the money neces-
sary to maintain the Nations Cap.
ital--the Capital of $4,000, ,000-if
they only knew the truth and the
peril.
Do not dismiss so vital subject
by saying "the Senate will kill it."
The Senate has stood nobly by and
defended the people of Washington
long enough against the Unsuitable
pound-of.fesh demands from men
on the House District Committee,
who deliberately sought such places
to ply their trade of persecution. It
is cowardly and unfair to rely al.
ways on the Senate.
e Unless courage fails the authors,
this measure will be reported to
the House next Thursday and will
be ready for action the following
Monday.
In the meantime, see that every
Representative you know is i'm
formed as to the facts and the
purport of the amendment. That
will be sufficient to insure their
votes against it.
There are two members to whom |
it will be useless to appeal. Do not |
waste words or postage stamps on:
Ben Johnson, Democrat, of Ken
lucky.
Solomon F Prouty. Republican,
of Iowa.
These are the men-evidently |
students of the mole-who seek to
burrow the measure through. A few
other members of the District Com
mittee are blindly following. For
them there is yet hope.

Pensions a Just Debt.

Whatever help the District Commits

from the people of the District and
from Congress. The people may be
depended upon to do their part, what,
ever it is. The Commissioners, have
in the past asked for the privilege OF
spending the Districts own money to
pay its, pension, debts, and their re-
quests have had the hearty indorse-
mcnt Of the people. The same indorse-
ment will be given to such requests
now.
An act of Congress, however, is of
course necessary before anybody can
do anything to end the present sys-
tenn or lack of pension system. The
pension fund" is drawn from sources
which never supply enough money to
pay the pensions. No other sources
are legally available. Either Congress
must make other sources available or
create new source.
