Why Is Lake Like Living Being

From the Atlantic Magazine.
A lake resembles living being in
many ways II has a pulse: its sur
face rises and falls rhythmically 1t
has a circulation; its waters not only
ebb and flow. but there are undercur-
rents by which the life giving oxygen
is carried to organisms which dwell in
its depths. 1t does muscular work :
the shores are eroded and wharNe es are
moved by the ice pressure II digests
food: and some lakes, sad to say,
sometimes have Indigestion. And so
we might continue the comparison ana
tell of its smiles and frowns. and the
music of its waves upon the shore.

HELPING OR HlNOERlNG?

The administration would have us
believe that it wants to help business
to prosper, wants to encourage enter
prise and sagacity, wants to see that
thrift is rewarded, and yet by levying
a war revenue tax that will hit the
very people it pretends to want to help,
it is hindering prosperity. First the
administration reduced the tariff and
advised American business men to
sharpen up their wits SO thlt they
could compete profitably with foreign
ers. The reduced tariff has failed to
produce the money necessary to run
the government. The income decreas-
ed from the day the new tariff went
into effect, but the breaking out of the
European war and the financial stress
caused thereby, permitted the per-
petrators OF the insufficient tariff to
lay the blame for conditions on some
thing other than the tariff itself. Now
proclaiming loudly that the war is the
cause, the democratic administration
is .out to levy tax of sos, 100000 in
such way that it will begin sending
money into the treasury at once. The
tax hits hardest the men who are do
ing business or who have been thrifty
and invested money in life insurance
or bonds. About everybody else Will
have to pay their quota too.

A HANDY PLATFORM.

In reply to objections raised against
administration antitrust Legislation
now pending in congress, President
Wilson yesterday made the statement
that the democratic party had covered
the matter in its campaign PLATFORM
and that it owed it to the people 10
carry out its pledges. -
The platform of the democratic
party has afforded the president some
remarkable service. It has not bound
him when he wanted to do something
that it decried and it has proved very
handy when the presidents desires
were in accord with the platform. For
instance the president hid behind 1t
when the suffragettes called upon the
president to aid their cause; he over
ruled it when 1t interferred with MS
idea of the proper way to manage the
Panama canal; he is now hiding De-
hind it on the antitrust legislation ana
has cleverly side-stepped it on the Sec
ond term plank.
