REVENUE TAN NECESSITY.

If there be those who oppose the
present necessity OF raising more gov
eminent revenue than the income tax
and the tariff duties now offered our
country. they either do not under

would use our present unfortunate
situation. as the result OF the raging
war in Europe. as a means of partisan
advantage.

DUTY FIRST. NOT POLITICS

The spectacle of democratic con-
gressmen and senators remaining on
duty and putting emergency legisIa-
ton through TO help their country
rather than go home to their cam.
paigns is one of the most commend
able exhibitions of patriotism our
country has ever seen.
With the worlds greatest crisis on
in the European war, with Uniteo
StStes industrial and financial condi-
tions all demoralized by the sudden
cessation of trade with Europe, and
with possible complications in our
foreign relations as the result Of seven
leading nations Of the world being at
war, and Mexico still unsettled,
Pres't Wilson and the democratic
house and senate are trying man
fully and unselhshly 10 formulate
plans of safety for us that is surely a
blessing TO our people.
This is why Sen. Shively and Rep.
Barnhart are not at home answering
their political opponents who are
trying to take advantage of a critical
situation and induce the people to
vote for those who. if elected. would
oppose Pres't Wilson in his efforts to
preserve peace and conserve our
wellbeing financially.
II Woodrow Wilson is right, as all
fairminded men admit he is, then
Shively and Barnhart who are stand
ing by the president are right. And
inasmuch as they are right i'm their
fidelity 10 Pres't Wilson's peace and
popular legislation policies, they
should be reward ed for their faith
fulness TO duty by all friends of good
government rallying to their support
and in opposition to those who would
misrepresent them and try thereby to
defeat them in the election. when they
are doing their duty and letting their
political interests take care of them

That's the kind OF representatives
the people need in congress. 1t is the

Mr.. Rome G. Stephenson, vice pres
ident and treasurer of the St. Joseph

along with others who addressed the
convention OF the American Bankers
association at Richmond, Va, Tues
day, in similar vein, mistake the spirit
Of the age If they anticipate any con-
siderable public sympathy for their
contentious that Sec'y McAdoo of the
treasury department was wrong in his
recent use OF the press in bringing
certain bankers to time for boarding
their surplus and charging usurious
interest of borrowers.
The secretary contends that such
conduct is contrary 10 the spirit If not
the letter of the federal reserve bank
actin which case the only responsive
chord. criticism Of the secretary IS
likely to find, will be in the breasts
OF the bankers.
Mr.. Stephenson puts it, as quoted IN
the dispatches, that the secretary
should have written the bankers a
letter. taking them 10 task privately
hount his criticisms before the public.
lie does not give the secretary credit
for having done that very thing. He
does not state that the secretary re-
sorted to the expedient Of publicity
only after ne had been virtually told
nv a number Of bankers-who thought
they had the regional bank law
beaten by clever legal constructions
that he should mind his own bust
ness"-or words TO that effect.
And what he did was 10 mind his
own business. 1t is the secretary of
the treasury's business to mind the
puhlic's business. and the tendency at
Washington just now seems to be that
when a law is placed on the statute
books. no avalanche OF wise lawyers
will be permitted to teach the evasion
OF il. and their advice be followed,
without the public being kept in
formed.
And that il is an effective way OF
meeting such a situation is proven
quite conclusively by the wincing that
IL has produced. The federal reserve
currency law will amount 10 nothing
as a currency reform measure unless
Il is made TO reform-and 1t would be
no reform TO let matters slide along

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP or KINGS

The death of King Charles of Rou-
mania Is, OF course. rcgrettsble. But
happily il did not come before the
world had been given a striking Illus
tration Of the advantages OF public
ownership OF kings.
There seems little doubt that King
Charles was anxious TO involve his
country in the war. There IS as little
doubt that the country did not want
To be involved In the end the view
of the country prevailed and Rou-
mania--fOr the present. at least-re-
mains al peace.
There is one thing that can be said
OF those little Balkan states. They
own and operate their kings. Their
kings are never allowed 20 presume
too much. Under all the trappings OF
royalty there Is the substantial fact Of
public ownership OF the entire institu-
ton of monarchy
If a country is bound TO have a
king. obviously that is the only con-
diJiol on which il can afford 10 have
him. The king who thinks he owns
the country the king who assumes To
rule by a title superior 10 the public
will lis at best an expensive luxury
and al worst a positive public danger.
Public ownership of kings has made
great strides in Europe since the be-
ginning OF me nineteenth century. But
the work is not yet compiete. There
still remain few royal houses 10 De
brought into line and made TO know
their proper places.-Chicago Herald.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

produce results more quickly than a
freight tax and with less expense Of
collection. The democratic members
of congress were divided on the ques-
ton and for a time a break between
congress and the president seemed
possible.
These special taxes will, Of course,
be imposed only as long as war cOndi-
tions make them necessary They
should be regarded as burdens to be
borne only until the ordinary revenue
Of the national government is restored.
1t will be noticed that the burden of
taxation rests on tobacco, wines and
beer-a total of $44,000,00. The re-
naming portion of the $105, 600, 000
total Will be divided among various
sources. The stamp tax is the heaviest
single item, but it will be more easily
borne and more easily removed than a
tax on freight. An agreement having
been reached in congress, these eX-
traordinary taxes will probably soon
be imposed. News.

VISIONARY COTTON PROJECTS.

NlolOAN<AINI WI LOAN AAtcA@N >.
Some Of the current suggestions
with respect to cotton recall what was
jOcularly said in the last century of a
British statesman actively and elo-
quently Identified with the spinning
industry.
Apropos of a report that scientists
had removed the brain of a turtle and
filled the cavity with cotton without
causing any perceptible change in the
creatures life ii was remarked that
somebody must have surreptitiously
performed a similar operation upon
the statesman in question.
Sir Charles NIAGARA. president of the
English Cotton Manufacturers assO-
citation, wants the American and
British governments to Jointly buy up
all the surplus Of the cotton crop and
hold II lin reserve. This substan-
TALLY means that he would have the
two governments go long Of cotton
speculate in the staple with the
money OF the peoples.
Rep. Henry Of Texas would have
our own government issue a couple of
hundred millions Of greenbacks and
sell a couple Of hundred millions Of
bonds. the whole TO be used in sus-
tanning the price of cotton. Sec y
McAdoo deserves credit for his vivid
demonstration of the impossibility Of
this scheme. The cotton situation is
one to be dealt with by the planters
and the bankers and not by the fed
eral government-New York Herald.

MANY conceptions OF good citizen-
ship prevail. Most prevalent is that
which contemplates conformity with
the law and a general air of RESPONSE
biity, compounded with a tendency
TO attend exclusively TO ones own
business in the narrowed, not to say
selfish sense.
NOW there is a better conception
than that, involving the virtues we
have enumerated but extending TO a
sense Of responsibility and regard for
the community interest. The citizen
who obeys the law. pays his taxes and
keeps his children in school is doing
well, but not as much as he should.
