Effect of the War Tax
lFrom the Washlngton PosO

Virtually all classes Of men and
women must share the new burden OF
taxation. Already the storekeepers
in some cities are giving it as an
excuse for increased prices on
various articles, and many questions
are being asked. A man or woman
always regards philosophically the
taxes that are imposed on a neigh
Dor, but when they actually encoun-
ter such taxation in their own ex-
penses there is a change of attitude.
Possibly the new taxes go into eff
feet too late to have anything more
than a superficial effect upon the
elections There is. no doubt that
many people are resentfuL but whe-
ther the feeling will rise to the point
Of a general protest at the polls is
doubtful.
It was with an eye to the political
future that the majority party stipu-
| lated that the taxes should expire by
| limitation on December 81 of next
year-some time before the presiden-
/ tial campaign begins-but the voters
/ have a way of remembering hard
ships. If resentment grows, it will
manifest itself even after the taxes
have been withdrawn.

The War as a Cloak for Failures
of the Wilson Administration
(From the New York Trlbunel.

American producer will have the
amplest encouragement while the
war lasts. The President has not
succeeded in forcing down the cost
OF living Yet, on the other hand, he
escapes for the time being the in
famed resentment of domestic pro-
ducers, since the war has given them
back the market which he sought to
turn over in large measure to their
foreign competitors.
Again, the war has given the De-
mocratic party an excuse for impos-
ing new taxation In order to cover
up an unwise sacrifice of tariff re-
venue and a vicious extravaganza in
appropriations. Congress has just
levied emergency taxes to the amount
of S9O,OOO,OOO to $95,OOO,00O a year.
But the appropriations for 1914-15
are S1,122OOO,O00-an increase Of
S24,OOO, 900 compared with last year
and an increase of S103,000, 900 COM
pared with the last year of the Taft
administration. Intelligent economy,
such as was practised under Presi-
dent Taft, would have saved the gov
/ ernment S100000,000 and made the
! levy of a special war tax Of S9O,O0O,-
600 to s95,000,00O unnecessary. But
for the war the administration would
never have dared to raise $1O00O0,-
600 through new taxation in order to
cover a scandalous excess Of $780,
100000 in its annual expenditure.
Voters at this election should not
allow the administration to use the
war as cover behind which to hide
its failings. The Democratic attach
on business and the waste Of $780,.
100000 in appropriations have nc

REHOBOTH AND

Just as soon as the stranger reflects

II is a question If too much stress |
has not been laid on this country's
debtor position abroad. Since mid
August, when some little concern
was manifested in the banking COM
munity over the extent of our foreign
obligations on what Is called current
account, good deal Of progress has
been made in cancelling them, and
the aspects of the foreign exchange
market suggest that I'm a rather nor
NAL fashion the bills which our ban
kers and business men have to meet
in London will be duly settled.
Leaving out of present considera-
tion the matter OF European holdings
of American securities, from which
liquidation is to be expected and
against which provision will have TO
be made, there seems to be no rea-
son for regarding the international
financial situation affecting US with
grave apprehension. Our trade inn
portations are tending toward a large
reduction from customary volumes.
The remittances which we custom
arily make to Europe for travellers
expenses and on other accounts will
be heavily curtailed.
Meanwhile our commodities and
manufactures are already being
bought here on an expanding scale
by belligerent and neutral countries
alike because there is no such source
OF supply for them anywhere in the
world today as that which is fur
nished in the United States. We
are apparently going to build up an
unprecedented international credit
balance within a year which Will in
cidentally go far toward taking care
Of large return Of American Sc
curities from Europe.
As a result of the conferences
which Sir George Paish and Mr.
/ Basil b. Blackett representing the
! British Treasury have been conduc-
| ting at Washington and which are
presumably to be continued else
where before the special financial
embassy from Great Britain has con-
/ cluded its mission, the adjustment OF
our remaining Indebtedness abroad
may be facilitated. AT the same
! time provision may be made for as
sisting future processes of Otsettins
debts and credits, however compli
Gated they may become through
European liquidation of American
securities It will be to British ad
vantage as we'll as ours to contriv'
arrangements that will enable thu
foreign exchange market to finance
/ international transactions of every
sort in the customary ways whicl
avoid the use Of much gold.
There would indeed be a very ex
cellent chance that the conference
Of Sir George Paish and Mr.. Blacket
would fail of any practically beneii
cial result unless they contemplate
measures to minimize the drain ol
our gold supply. The country's gol
exports in 1914 to date aggregat
more than $16O,000,00O. In additio
to that, provision was made in tn
New York city loan underwriting an

exchange gold fund for the shipmer
OF fully S150,OO0,O00 more.

II is an i'll wind which blows no
body good. The great European
war, bringing with it worldwide
disturbance and suffering, has proved
a godsend to the Wilson administra-
tion. Back in July few intelligent
observers thought that the Demo-
Gratis could retain control Of the
House of Representatives. There
were abundant signs of a general
reaction against the administration
and its policies, based on the con-
viction that those policies had pro-
duced a serious business depression.
Now, thanks to the fortuitous inter-
vention of European war, the
Democratic party is looking forward
to retaining control Of the House by
a slightly reduced majority and to
maintaining or increasing its ma
jority in the Senate.
The war has been, in fact. cloak
to cover the failures of the Wilson
administration. It is the biggest and
most dramatic event in the expert
ence Of this generation. Since its
outbreak il has absorbed the atten-
tion of the world Even in this
country il has excited so intense an
interest and has had such marked
effects on trade and industry that it
still crowds all strictly domestic
concerns into the background. II
has left the public too little leisure
70 consider the ordinary problems oi
/ politics.
When the public first felt the
/ stress of hard times and saw the ell
| fects Of the Administrations warfare
| not alone on Big Business but on all
/ business, IL was ready to lay the
full blame for depression and un-
employment on Democratic legisla-
ton. But when the war came along
] and made conditions still worse the
public illogically altered its attitude
and began to attribute its troubles &c
influences beyond the control of the
marty in power. IL has thought more
OF the aggravations caused by th'
war than of the original setbacks tC
prosperity chargeable to unwise ac
tion AT Washington. President VIII
sons mistakes have been covered b'
a mantle of charitable inattention
while people have worried over th'
interruption of international eX
changes. the partial cessation OF eN
ports and the indefinite closing o
markets which had in the past takel

From the Milford Chronicle.
In both of the lower counties the
Republican party has named straight

county Offices, where men of ability
are candidates for the important
Offices. In the Clerk-of-the-Peace
position. only a man Of practical
business, and experienced in public
affairs should be placed.
In Sussex county in Elwood

an experienced man, and the same
can be said of Kent county in this
particular. The most important is

JUST FOR JOHN WALTER SMITH.
From the Elkton Whig.
In view of the fact that Senator
John Walter Smith is a lumber bar
on" has made his pile" out of saw
mills, etc. It must be interesting to
look over his vote in the u. S. Sen
ate on the lumber question. Here
it is:
On May "a, 1909, Senator Smith
voted not to place lumber on the
free list, and same date against
proposition to place a duty of Sl.OO
per thousand feet on sawed lumber
and in addition so cents per thousand
feet for each side planed On June
%, 1909, he voted for the Aldrich
amendment, placing a duty of Sl.5O
per thousand on sowed lumber, $500
per thousand when planed on one
side, 1925 per thousand when planed
on two sides, and so on upwards
On the same he voted twice not to
reduce this duty, and again on June
26 not to place it on the free list.
Evidently Senator Smith believes
in a protective tariff for his own
purse. but in a free trade" schedule
/ for all the other fellows. That is
not Democratic doctrine, or Republi-
can doctrine either 1t is just John
