"Iconoclast'' declares, emphatically,

countries, and have yet to see a

as a colored human being, but as a
human being. There is a great differ

such opportunities. Lincoln, Car

chances are better today, because this

The practical operations of the in
come tax indicate that instead OF
producing a revenue of s70,000,000 as
was predicted by Congressman Hull
of Tennessee who framed the esti-
mates upon which the measure was
based, it will bring into the treasury
something like s30,o00.00o. 1t had been
promised of this tax that it would
make up to the treasury the s50,000,000
that 1t would lose on the sugar tax
and a substantial amount beyond that
for good measure. That it has fallen
short of this, means that the tax will
have to be increased or some other
way devised of increasing the reve-
nues. When these estimates were
made by Mr.. Hull there were many
persons familiar with matters finan-
cial who were unable to understand
the figures on which they were based
and who distrusted their accuracy.
According to these men there was no
possible way of estimating the in
comes of the country taxable under
the law with any degree of accuracy.
although most of them could probably
have come a great deal nearer to it
than Mr.. Hull did.

More Than s4oo, 900 in Seals Sold.

More than 100000 Red Cross
Christmas Seals were sold last De-
cember, according to a report just is
sued by The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis and the American Red Cross
In this way $4,000 is netted for an
IT, tuberculosis work in various parts
of the United States.
The sale in 1918 is a gain of 100000
seals over 1912, or 10 per cent. 1t is
hoped that this year the 100000
mark will be reached. The seal design
for 1914 has been selected and orders
for the printing of 100,oO0,00O seals have
been placed. Plans for the organiza-
ton of a larger scale this year than
ever before have been perfected.
New York State lead the country
last year with a sale of over 10.500,000
seals or one for each man, woman and
child in the state. OF this number,
more than 6,S25,0O0 were sold outside
of New York City. Ohio came next
with a sale of 100000, Wisconsin
third with 100000, and Illinois. fourth
with 100000. Hawaii sold the most
seals per capita, the total sale being
somewhat over two for each inhabi-
tant Rhode Island came second with
a sale of two per person.
Beginning with a sale of 13,500,00o
in 1908, in six seasons the revenue
which these little holiday seals have
brought to the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign has more than tripled, an ag-
gregate for the period of over $780,
600 or 1sOooO,0oo seals.
Let US triple it again in the next
six years, making a total in 1920 of
81 900 for the work of educating
against consumption.

The Democratic Business Slump.


II is more than a coincidence that
business has gone to the bow-wows
all over the country within year Of
the Inauguration of the present Dem
ocratic administration just as it did
after the Inauguration of tnat party
the last time il had control of all
branches of the government. In the
former case, however, the demoralza-
ton of the country's business by the
abandonment of the policy of protect
ing home industries, was by far the
most serious complaint against that
Democratic regime. In the present,
the Democratic Government has brok-
en- down in every department of Its
activity, and the decentralization or
business is only one feature of the
long indictment which representa-
tives of the party must face in the
fall elections. There IS the autocratc
rejection by the executive branch or
the preferential duties on goods I'M
ported in American ships, one of the
few redeeming features of the tarlH
act. There is the refusal of the Adj
ministration to protect American
lives and property in Mexico, and the
long SeII6S Oh Qlp4OiiAoNiN HiNA-+NNA -
relation thereto; the humiliating
treaty with Colombia. the repeal of
free canal tolls at the dictation Of
England, the undoing OF so much that
had previously been accomplished in
the way of substituting merit for pol
itics in the diplomatic and consular
service, the notification of civil ser
vice rules so far as these apply to
fourth class postoffices. We might
continue the enumeration considerably
further, for the year of Democratic
rule has been a fruitful one in ex-
amples of what can be accomplished
along these lines by inexperienced men
in the high places in the Government,
but further examples are not needed.
No wonder that one hears of an up
rising in all parts of the country
against the party which has brought
