WAR TAXES FOR PORK.

1t is said on high authority among
Democratic leaders. that war reve-
nue. measures are to be framed and
passed. which will not only provide
for the deficit in national revenues
due to the extraordinary financial
conditions, but in addition will make
sufficient total to take care of the
liver and harhor pork barrel of
this year.
Seemingly, there is a strange de-
termination to get this measure
passed. Essentially piece of pri
rsto Legislation for the distribution
Of private benefits, il is urged by
its advocates with persistence that
suggests the firm conviction that
it is cf supreme public Importance.
1t would be interesting to know
more about the identity of the real
beneficiaries of this remarkable
measure and the channels through
which they exert So much influence.
Perhaps before long It will he pos
sible 10 crafty curiosity on this
point. =
The present Administration not
tc be blamed, in fairness. for the
insufficiency Of revenues. No mccall
system on earth could have been
suited to the conditions of peace, and
yet capable of readjusting itself to
toGay's worldwide catacivsm. None
has served that purpose. Every
country corfronts the same general
problem that this country faces.
There must be extraordinary
measures to meet extraordinary con-
ditions. Nobody will find fault with |
that. But when extraordinary con-
ditions are met with a proposal to
impose special taxes in order to
raise money for the pork barrel,
there will surely be protest, loud
and insistent.
Let the leaders in Congress take
account of today's public sentiment
toward river and harbor appropria-
lions. Let them realize that the
country is less patient about the
perks distribution than it ever was
before. Let them understand that
more is known and suspected. about

The wedding procession proceeded
from the main stairway into the cor
ridor, through the north door OF the
blue room. to the platform erected in
the south bay window OF the room.
Miss Sallie McAdoo led the process
sion, followed by Mrs. Sayre and Miss
Margaret Wilson. Miss Nancy Lane
directly preceded the bride, who was
escorted by the president The groom,
with DR.. Cary Travers Grayson, met
the wedding party at the altar. Mr..
McAdoo wore evening clothes and DR..
Grayson wore his uniform. Rev. Syl-
vester w. Beach performed the cere-
mony.

proper time, and the cutting away of
infected branches form the method Of
control used by Mr.. Lewis. He has
carried on experiments in many badly
infected Kansas orchards, and he has
shown that % per cent OF smooth,
clear fruit may be obtained the first
year. To eradicate the blotch from
an orchard takes from four TO six
years of thorough treatment
Blotch is caused by fungus which
lives upon the leaves, twigs and fruit
Of the apple. Some varieties OF apple
are very much more susceptible than
others. The Missouri Pippin is attack
ed with extreme severity, and the Ben
Davis almost as badly; while the
Grimes Golden, York Imperial, and
Winesap are much more resistant to
injury.
Some species Of fungus produce
spores in the fall, which rest during
the winter and terminate in the
spring. This is not the case with the
apple blotch The apple blotch lives
through the winter in the growth GA
the twigs and limbs Of the tree. Three
