We have had similar impertinences

Wilson is simply doing what was

do.
1t is to be hoped that his action will
serve to teach indiscreet representa-.
tives of foreign powers that, although
we have citizens of British, German
and French birth, for example. the
representatives of those nations are
not warranted in speaking here as
freely as they would at home in their
own house; in brief. that this is a ma

colonies.

"Colored" pictures are photographed

entering into possession was made the

Our National Defenses

One taproot of this war runs back
to 1870, when Germany forced France
to cede the essentially French prov.
inces of Alsace and Lorraine. That
was an unjust, ruthless act, accom-
plished by sheer brute force. France
has hated Germany for it ever since
and bided her time for vengeance.
After the war between Japan and
China, Germany interviewed against
Japan overbearingly. Japan has nurs.
ed that grievance and seized the first
opportunity to settle the score. I'm
doubtedly the two other members of
the Triple Alliance counted on Italy's
Austria for long oppression. Weighed
against volumes of Austrian wrongs
the Alliance counted for nothing.
There are no forts on Mason and

The War Taxes

The administration is to be com.
mended for its decision to impose
stamp taxes, similar to those of Span
ish War times, rather than a special
tax on freight. The plans for taxa
ton, as agreed to in the Democratic
caucus, include a stamp tax on COM
mercial and legal papers, and special
taxes on banks, brokerage houses,
theatres and other places of amuse-
ment-taxes which were applied dur
ing the Spanish War. There will al
SO be a tax Of cents gallon on
gasoline, and special taxes on tobacco
manufacturers and dealers, and on
domestic wines and beer. 1t is esti-
mated that sos, 100000 will be obtain.
ed from these various sources-$35,-
100000 from the stamp tax; $780,
900 from bankers and brokers'; $4,000
900 from tobacco: $32.O0O,OOO from
beer; $2O,O0O,OOO from gasoline, and
$8,00O,O0O from wines.
In reverting to the stamp tax of the
Spanish War, the Democrats showed
both wisdom and ability to follow the
good example set by another party,
for it was the Republican party which,
in 1898. devised the stamp tax sys-
TEN which worked so we'll and was
so productive of revenue. The value

supporters of the proposed tax on
freight was that the cost would be
distributed. Even so, but by this very
distribution it would be multiplied

to produce results more quickly than
a freight tax, and with less expense

bers Of Congress were divided on the
question and for time break be.
tween Congress and the President
seemed possible.
These special taxes will, of course,
be imposed only as long as war con.
dttions make them necessary. They
should be regarded as burdens to be
borne only until the ordinary revenue
of the National Government is restor-
ed. 1t will be noticed that the bur.
den Of taxation rests on tobacco, wines
and beer-a total Of $44,000,0O0. The
remaining portion of the $105,O0O, 900
total will be divided among various
sources. The stamp tax is the heav-
lest single item, but it will be more
easily borne and more easily removed
than tax on freight. An agreement
having been reached in Congress, these
extraordinary taxes will probably soon
be mposed.-Indianapo News.

The cool air, dropping down from
