REVENUE STAMP USERS
NEED HAVE NO FEARS
Applicants Who Failed to Get Supply
Will Be Protected by
Collectors.

Internal revenue collectors through
out the country had notice today from
the internal revenue bureau here that
the government does not intend to
prosecute any one subject to the war
revenue law who shows a willingness
and readiness to buy the new tax
stamps. The notice was sent to allay
fears on the part of thousands Of per-
sons all over the country who yester-
day besieged the internal revenue Off
ces in attempts to obtain revenue
stamps to comply with the law. and
who because of their inability to do so
became frightened over what might
happen in the event they were not on
the minute with their stamping.
There was no need for such fears.
and this was made clear in a telegram
which Commissioner Osborn of the in
ternal revenue bureau sent to all COL
lectors. The telegram was in resnonse
to frantic calls from collectors who
told of crowds rushing their Offices de-
handing stamps. and it was hoped nv
oHlclals today that the notice would

avoid this plank as much as possible.
1t is the plank in his platform or
record (the two are synonymous. we
believe) relative to free tolls. This is
d plank he cannot afford to wave
too frequently before the voters OF
the Second Congressional district.
In ch~aracterizing Congressman
Young's suberviency to the big ship
ping interests who have grown fat
and waxcd greedy, we can do no bet
ter than use the words of Col.
"Marse' Henry Watterson:
For our part we a see
nothing in the act renting the
tolls in favor of the coastwise
shipping trust-a prosperous
moIopoly--but subsidy pure and
simple and in the opposition to
its repeal something very like
selfish demagogism, more or less
COwardly and dishonest
1t should be unnecessary for any
mar in public Office to condescend to
stand on his record. We recognize,
however, the sacrifice Congressman
Young is making by standing on his
record. Whether he decided to con-
sent to stand ON his record or not, the
voters would have judged him on his
record just the same. 1t is comfort
ing to learn, however, that he will
stand on his record and may the
blessings of the shipping trust be
upon his head. Selah.

STORE a

Chicago's municipal store has prov
ed. a failure. 1t was organized to fur
nish needy people goods at cost.
When the books were balanced Feb.
8 last. it was found that the daily
sales had averaged only $9.11.
Those who fathered the enterprise
have many reasons for the failure Of
the institution. In the first place the
store did not deliver any goods and
the financial condition of each pur-
chaser was made the subject Of such
rigid investigation that it became I'M
comfortable to shop in the place.
Only persons out of work and not
owners Of property could deal at its
counters. 1t savored too much of
charity. When you hedge an institu-
ton about with so many restrictions
failure is a foregone conclusion.
There are many branches of activ-
ity where the government is decided
ly out of its proper environment and
store-keeping is one of them.

A GREAT WARRIOR DEAD.

General Daniel l.. Sicklcs. the last
gof the great commanders who fought
tthe battle of Gettysburg is dead.
; Although his LIES path was cross
! ed by many shadows, his departure
was MIC easier by a res 1ciliation
with his wife from whom he had been
estranged for more than a quarter OF
d century. He was a gruff, pictures
que old warrior; one leg shot away
and possessing u massive head re-
sembling that Of Bismarck.
He has had an illustrious career
and his shortcomings are now swal-
lowed up in a consideration Of his
public service. He was born in New
York in 1925 and at the early age of
20 fought the Wings as a Democrat
in the New York Legislature.
!: When only Is, he became corpora
ton attorney of New York and it was
he who secured Central park for the
city.
Under Minister James Buchanan,
he served as secretary"'of the lega-
ton at London and later wen politi-
cal honors in New York as a repre-
sentative in Congress.
1t vas in his second terlu as Con.
gresham in 1859 that the nation was
stirred by the murder of Philip Bar
ton Key, United States District At.
torney for the District of Columbia.
Sickles declared Key had misled his
wife who was Therese Bagioli, daugh.
ter of an Italian music teacher. Sick.
les was acquitted on the "unwritten'
law" defense and he again startled
the nation by taking his erring wife
back.
He explained his action in these
words: , an s.
u am not aware of any stat
ute or code Of morals which
: makes it infamous to forgive a
woman. | can see now, in the al.
most universal denunciation with
which she is followed to my
threshold, the misery and peril
from which | have rescued the
mother OF my daughter. | shall
strive to prove to all that an
erring wife and mother may be
forgiven and redeemed
But Sickles failed as many another
has failed in a like undertaking. His
wife died a few years later Of a
broken heart.
Although a Democrat when war
broke out Sickles went to Lincoln in
a brusque way that was characteristic
4of the man and offered his aid.
You have been a leader in New
York Democratic politics." said the
President. IF you kept your. end up
that game surely you'll do to take

CORN FROM ARGENTINA.

Chicago received q carload of corn
from Argentina last week. just pom.
der on that, you farmers of North Da-
kota. South America, under the bene.
ficent reign of the Democratic free
tariff, is invading our corn belt.
Right in the metropolis of the Mis-.
sissippi valley, where Corn Is King,
South America is competing with the
corn of Illinois, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota. .
1t is reported that Argentina has an
export surplus of 100000 900 bushels
of corn. Harvest is o on in that
country.
Here are some figures for the
farmers of North Dakota to ruminate
upon:
Since the free trade tariff went into
effect, the United States imported
5000, 900 bushels of corn from Argen-
tina. Of course, this all helped to
lower the price of corn and corn prod
ucts, and made a cheaper market for
the crop, Of the North Dakota farmer.
