THE CHRISTMAS SHIP.
American Children to Send Good Cheer
to Those Of Europe.
(Bisbee Review

(blSUce ncVicW)
There will be no merry Christmas"
for Europe. In hundreds Of thousands
of homes there will be funeral wreaths
instead of holly, tears or fears instead
of laughter, shivering little feet in
stead of we'll filled stockings.
More than ever before those forlorn
homes will need the spirit Of Christ
mas cheer. They need the reminder
that "peace on earth" is not mockery
and that good will" has not vanished
from among men.
How can this great safe, comfort
able nation better celebrate the ap-
preaching holidays than by sharing Its
Christmas with war stricken Europe!
! It was an inspiration, that idea OF
Christmas ship to carry to the children
of the warning nations gifts contrib
uted by their little brothers and sisters
OF America. Scores Of newspapers
| have taken it up, and the quick en-
thusiasm of the public insures the
success of the enterprise and gives II
the sanction of united nation, even
If the government itself had not lent
such sanction by Offering warsh'p
to carry the gifts.
II is a great thing to perform this
thoughtful and kindly service for the
alien boys and girls. But the christ
mas ship means more than mere char
ity or good will.
That ship may preach the greatest
sermon since the Sermon on the
Mount 1t will be the voice of ma
tion to which peace Is a religion II
will carry the message Of the biess-
ings of peace into every home reached
nv it's friendly benefaction. It's les
son can not be misunderstood or mis-
applied. Every toy, every little gar
ment. every sweetmeat or bit OF tin
sci will say to grieving grown-ups
and what is vastly more important, Il
unreasonable children:
J "These gifts come from a nation
that is at peace with all the worio
, They are sent by other boys and girl
! who can afford to send them becaus
D their nation is at peace. They com
' from children who are happy becaus
4 their fathers are at home to shar
0 Christmas with them. 1t Is peace tina
makes Christmas happy 1t IS wa
y that makes 1t poor and wretched.'
n And so we shall help the million
0 of children to learn to hate war an
y love peace.

ELECTRIC MONOPOLY.
Court Finds Wide Difference Between
II and Reasonable Regulation.

In C. Perceval, Inc, vs.. the PUBIC
Service Commission, the appellate d.
vision of the New York supreme court
decided a requirement in the contract
furnished by an electric power com
pany to its customers that the custom
err must take all the power ne uses
from the power company, is not rea-
sonable regulation The facts IN the
case we're that the plaintiff MADE ar
rangements to take power from the
owner of the building occupied during
the day and proposed to use power o.
the Edison company only at n'gh'
The Edison company refused TO supp.
current under the circumstances OF
the ground that it was not obliged l.
do so unless the customer bought IRON
the Edison company all the electrlc't!
IT required. The public service com
mission upheld the Edison company
but the appellate division reversed the
ruling and said.
at is of course the rule that suci
corporation may establish reason
able regulations respecting the use OF
the service which 1t proposes to 1ur-
nish. and each customer requiring inc
service is called upon to comply VIII
such regulations. In our opinion now
ever, the requirement that a consumer
m,nt take all of it's electricity from one
company or receive none at all IS nov
in any proper sense a regulation re-
specting the use of the service put i
a purely arbitrary attempt on the par'
Of the company to insure to itself
monopoly Of furnishing electric cur
rent"

A Blunder and Extravaganza Tax
(Boston Traveller and Evening Herald)

in the month of August, while the
changes in the tariff caused a loss of
approximately $5,O0O,O0O.
In view of these facts, how can any
man honestly contend that the de-
crease in revenue which the emergency
tax is intended to supply is due to the
European war and not to the Under
wood tariff?
There is way to meet the situation
and to meet it quickly. Let the DEM
ocrats introduce bill restoring tariff
duties to the point at which they found
them, increasing them II necessary to
secure the needed revenue.
Let them put higher tax than ever
on sugar, for instance.
Sugar now comes in practically free,
and is to be entirely free in 1916.
The tariff was taken off sugar. &C
cording to Mr. Wilson. to benefit the
consumer. But sugar went up instead
Of down in price and now costs nearly
twice as much as it cost under the
Payne Aldrich tariff,
| who benefits?
The sugar trust which enabled to
import sugar free Of duty, or nearly so,
and then sell 1t here and in England
1t war prices!
; The result, then, of this extraordn-
ary piece of legislation is to increase
the price to the consumer, subject the
domestic sugar industry to ruinous
competition and put millions of dollars
formerly paid into the United States
treasury into the pockets Of the sugar
trust!
We challenge Mr. Wilson or any OF
his apologists to give a single reason
why the American sugar trust shoulo
be permitted to import sugar practic-
ally free of duty and then sell 1t In
England at war prices.
Under the republican protective tar
if sugar netted the government ap'
proximately $6o.000,000 year
Why not restore this tariff, or ever
double 1t, as an emergency measure
a war measure, If you will?
There is only one reason why not
and that is a political one.
In returning to the republican tarlh
the democrats would acknowledge tn
, failure Of their tariff theories and IN
, wisdom Of the protective system.
, The pill is bitter one.
They will not take 1t voluntarily
9 But It should be forced down the'
throats

No one questions that more revenue

No one questions that more revenue
is needed.
No one doubts that an empty treas
ury is staring the nation in the face
Two years of democratic laundering
and extravaganza could produce no
other result.
But the fact that the treasury Is
empty is no excuse for administration
dishonesty; it is no excuse for seeking
to get money by inequitable means' or
under false pretenses; 1t is no excuse
for placing additional burdens Of d.
rect taxation upon an already overbur'
dened people.
The treasury is empty.
Let us know why It Is empty.
Let us try to determine the cause or
causes before we undertake to apply
remedy.
President Wilson and his apologists
assert that the proposed emergency
revenue, amounting to over 100000
900. is needed because Of the European
war.
This is absolutely contrary to the
facts
The governments figures Of imports
and exports show a progressive de-
cline in customs receipts from the time
the Underwood Simmons tariff went
into effect; and with an income tax
yielding nearly s5O,000.O00 less than 1t
was expected to yield, the democrats
were face to face with the necessity OF
finding new sources of revenue before
the European war was thought of.
The war is merely an excuse.
The democrats are using 1t to cover
, up their sins.
AS matter Of fact, the proposed
emergency revenue tax is not wal
tax at all, but democratic blundel
and extravaganza tax.
Mr.. Wilson arrived at his deficit o
$1O,629,53S for the month of August b.
comparing 1t with the month of Aug
4 ust last year, when the republican
protective tariff was still in effect
How much of that falling off wa
due to the war and how much to tn
= tariff?
We have the figures for New York
= Philadelphia and Boston, and thes
4 figures show that while the decreas
in the value Of imports during tn
month of August was approximate
s11.OOO,OOO, the income from custom
duties decreased $8,600,000!
r In these three cities, therefore, tn
war caused a loss of about $4,000
