THE WAR REVENUE.

Leaders Underwood, Senator Simmons
and Predident Wilson have come to an
agreement on the main points of the new
bill which is TO adj 500. 200, 900 TO our
revenue, to make up for our loss of GUS
tom receipts caused by the war. 1t
seems now that 90 cents barrel will be
added TO the tax on beer which will
yield S32, 0O0,0O0 or about one-third of
the amount needed. Twelve cents a
gallon on dry and 20 cents on sweet do
mestic wines will add $4,000, 600. A new
tax on tobacco will add about 81, 00O, O0C
and 2 cents per gallon on gasoline will
bring in $4,000, 600. The rest will be
made up by tax of about 2 cents on
each bank check and draft and similar

Senator Camden Will Reward
Trustees.

Senator johnson n. Camden writes
the Kentucky Illiteracy Commission
from Washington that he will give $50
TO the trustee who. in the judgment of
the Kentucky Illlteracy Commission,
aids in making the best moonlight
school In the State. This prize will be
awarded on reports of campaigning done
by trustees to secure attendance at the
school, on the trustees own attendance,
and other activities which the trustee
may perform toward making the school
great success. There is yet time for
any trustee in the State to compete for
the prizs. The second session of moon
light schools begins Oct. 9Th, and thous-
ands of such schools will open then,
while many others will continue their
sessions already begun. Senator Cam
den sent his check 10 the Commission
and the prize will be in the hands of the
trustee by Thanksgiving. Senator Cam
den also writes his hearty endorsement
of this movement, which ne is watching
from Washington with interest.

Pertinent Comments.

Don't Stop Mills; Start Them" is
the title of an editorial in the Chicago
Herald, and a mighty good title.
To put an old phrase to good use once
more, the Wilson administration is best
judged by the enemies it has made.
The Wilson administration does not
cross streams before it comes to them
but when it does come to them it does
cross them.
All that President Wilson had to mo-
bilize was the good common sense of
the American people, which he sue
ceeded in doing.
This is for bridge players, as we'll as
Republicans: Rubbers are seldom won
with nullo bids. The trick taking poll.
cy has decided advantages.
The sure way to get things done is to
go and do them; so, when it began 10 ap-
pear that private capital would not fin
ance American steamship lines to carry
American commerce, the President
promptly set about buying some.
1t seems quite clear that the average
Republican politician is either hog-tied
to doctrine and argument some five years
obsolete, or lacks either doctrine or ar
gument of any kind whatsoever. Many
of them have opposed the administra-
tons war emergency measures. Yet,
for their part, what has been proposed?
Not blessed thingl
We invite the attention of the Repub-
lican Congressman who have been block
ing the Administration vigorous efforts
to befriend commerce and ind ustry in
the following paragraph in the Boston
Advertiser, Republican paper:
1--WE regret that we have heard hints
from Washington, in the past few days,
TO the effect that some ambitious but not
unusually gifted Congressman have
made their plans TO fight the Admins
tration bill, and TO expose some of its
'glaring blunders.' Our friendly advice
to such marplots would be to consult
their own constituents first. We believe
that the popular demand for an imme-
date outlet and avenue to new markets
for American goods, and for new routes
of supply to this country, in such pro
ducts as the United States now lacks,
because of the war of the Nations, is rrac-
tically irresistible. Any Congressman
who, for purely partisan reasons, at
tempts to block the plans of the Admin
istration, will probably emerge from his
popular chastisement wiser if a sadder
man."
