A War Tax.

| 1t is for the democrats, who are in
full control. to suggest the terms of
any war tax that may be necessary
The bill, of course, must originate in
the House, and Mr.. Underwood will
direct its passage through that body.
| In the Senate Mr.. Simmons will have
charge.
| But it will be in order for the re-
publicans to make suggestions. and
| their duty to do so. The emergency
| should be met in the best spirit pos
sible, and presumably will be- Uncle
Sam needs money. The wheels at home
here must be kept turning. All should
help in what most intimately concerns
the national welfare
| At the same time the democrats
should bear one thing particularly in
mind They should not attempt to
put this measure through the House
with the tactics they employed in the
case of the Underwood tariff bill No
gag rule should be invoked. No un-
fairness toward the minority should
| be used. Everything should be done
in the open, and with due regard for a
situation which has come upon the
country with the swiftness of a light
ming flash.
Not in any spirit of captiousness. but
only for benefit now, the course with
respect to the Underwood bill should
be recalled. The House had it's way,
and in the main shut off debate. But
the unwisdom of that proceeding was
soon apparent The bill as it reached
the Senate was so unwelcome there.
and to the country at large, it was
necessary to recast it in many rates
and schedules. The Senate gave five
months to the work, and what it did
was accepted by the House. though it
was in rebuke of the Houses work.
Nothing even remotely resembling
the course in that matter should be
attempted in the present matter. Con-
| gress is called upon to legislate for a
war emergency, with the war not Of
| our provoking. We are embarrassed
because Of the sudden embarrassment
abroad
The debate, which should be full
and free, need not be protracted. We
shall probably hear something about
the tariff as the country has known
the subject for years. Protection still
has its advocates. and anti-protection
its advocates notwithstanding the rec
ORD made Dy the Cn0erWOOu law 10
date. But the emergency does not
grow out of that law, but out Of
condition which even a high protec-
ton law could not have prevented.
The democrats can afford open treat
ment. for the additional reason that
the republicans are showing the best
spirit toward the situation. In the
House they are led by man who.
while the stoutest of partisans when
ever partisanship is in order. has yet
demonstrated by both voice and vote
in the past fortnight that he can rise
readily above all partisanship in be-
half Of the common country.

The News and the War.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
German citizens in the United States
have reason on their side when they point
out the high probability that some of the
war news printed in the newspaper of
this country is colored by its source
Coming largely from France, England
and Belgium, and almost unchecked by
reports from Germany, it is inevitably
subject to a certain amount of eXaggera-
ton and distortion. To this fact the
newspapers themselves have called the
attention of their readers. What has to
be faced is a news situation inevitably
produced by the breaking off of direct
communication with Germany and by the
rigid censorship imposed by the French
take what 1t can get, with due allowance
for bias; sitting the information that
comes as best it can, stating clearly what
is mere rumor and what is official and
making every effort to bring out of the
conflicting dispatches the actual residu-
um of truth.

The Doom Of Autocracy.
From the Philadelphia North American.


Overthrown by the avenging allies al
most "a century ago, Napoleon uttered this
singular forecast, I'm hundred years
all Europe will be Cossack or republican"
There is still time for fulillment-time
enough, as events now move. From their
better vantage ground the people of To-
day can determine which force will pre-
vail. The facts of the hour declare that
Europe will not be Russianized. 1t is
the other alternative that will justify the
vision of the great Corsican. From the
flaming brand thrust into the face of civil
lization will be lighted fires that will con-
sumo dynasties. The vital fact is that
this is not in it's primary issues a war of
the peoples International rivalries and
racial enmities have had much to do with
it; but these forces are but the weapons
of those who hold the power of peace and
war. of life and death. over the millions

Climatology.

If only sunshine stories
We're written in the sky
And only golden glories
Each year came sweeping by
If storms were never breaking
In fierce relentless mood
Among the shadows waking
The echoes strange and rude
II naught but sunny weather
Prevailed from,north to south,
How we would get together
And howl about the drouth.

Aggressive Art.

YES" replied Mr.. Penwiggle; but it's
a dangerous practice. It's likely to make
readers critical What you want to do is
to give the reader so much pep and
ginger and so many punches and
'knockouts' that he won't have enough
courage or energy left to form an opin-
ion."

The Tournament.
From the Baltimore Sun.


1t is cheering and refreshing to note
that. while grim-visaged war is having
everything his own way on the continent
of Europe. chivalry and love still exercise
grounds of Maryland. The old-fashioned
tournament still holds its own in the
country districts knighthood is still in
flower eastern and western shores
alike, and the queen of love and beauty
is still crowned among us, without re-
gard to the doings of king or kaiser.
The crowned heads that have the most
influence on mankind those in whose
honor these harmless Journeys are held,
and the knights who help the world the
most are the knights of the plow and of
peace. who after reaping a bounteous
harvest, seek to win lady's smile.

Gloomy Predictions.

The hard luck prophet comes along
And sings melancholy song,

Supplies the terror Of suspense.

THOSE PLATT L L

1t is generally conceded by un-
prejudiced minds that the Plat raj
lies held in Humboldt county were the
greatest, both in point of numbers at
tending and enthusiasm, seen here
during the present campaign.
The Plat meeting in the Nixon
opera house Saturday evening was no
exception to this rule. Many were
unable to attend owing to the fact
that the stores remained open until
10 O'Clock and many of those who at
tended the entertainment in the opera
house the previous evening were too
tired to go, but Notwithstanding these
handicaps the people who did attend
constituted the largest audience that
has turned out to a political meeting
this fall.
And all felt well repaid for having
gone. Although Mr.. Plat spoke for
fully an hour and a half, not a single
person was observed to leave the hall
during his speech and he was given
the closest attention of his hearers.
From present indications it seems
probable that Mr.. Plat will be given
a plurality in this county next Tues
day Of from so to 100 votes over
Newlands.

BECKY FREE;;LIVED
ON WATER, She SAYS
Girl Hunger Striker
Seemed Weak When
Released on Bail.

Roba Edelson. better known by her
prison-pen name os Becky was re-
leased on bail yesterday from the
Blackwelps Island workhouse, whittier
she was sent on July 20 to serve eighty
five days for making TOO much noise
around BENJAMIN Frankln's statue, in
front Of the Tribune Building. The
young woman appeared 20 nave achieved
some success iu carrying out her nun
ger strike In Jail. Her lace was winter
than usual and she seemed 20 be very
weak.
Alone she could not get to taxi that
was waiting to take her temporarily to
the home Of a friend. Standing on the
pier at East 10th ST. she said:
mo matter what any one may say, |
have not had a morsel of food since |
went TO the island ! have taken only
enough water to keep me alive. Never
was there a suggestion of feeding me
forcibly. DR.. Katz, head of the hospital
i'm which / was confined. tried 20 bully
me into eating, but / told him 1t was
my business, and not his, and he SAID
no more.
If would have refused food until |
island is not fit 20 give 20 dog. The
meat is rotten and the beans UNFIT for
food"
DR.. Katharine 3. Davis. Commits
sioner of Correction, has insisted that
Becky" has been fed surreptitiously
and has been posing as martyr. Early
i'm the girls stay on the island Dr..
Davis refused TO issue information
about "Becky's" progress a move that
was not unpopularly greeted.
At the Office of Mother Earth" a
West 18th ST., last night, it was said
there would be no demonstration over
the girl agitator and that she would
soon be taken to the home of friends in
the country.
Miss Edelson gave out long state
ment through the Mother Earth folk
last night, in which she said that the
prison administration was disgraceful
and that the majority of the prisoners
on the island feel much oppressed,
which, Becky thinks, is remarkable
In the circumstances.
The meat contained vermin, the eggs
were odoriferous and the cereal
wormy according TO her statement. She
asserted that the patients In the sick
wards receive the same food as other
prisoners some of them even after
operations. Five and six women. she
said. are placed in one cell. and the
sanitary arrangements are more dis
gushing than those in Sing Sing prior
20 the investigation.
Most of the prisoners, she said, are
half starved, and the holder ones are
forced to steal bread TO get enough to
cling 20 life.

OPPOSES CITIZENS UNION
Attorney General Says Vote
Favored Convention.

The Attorney General fled a brief
with Justice Seabury yesterday in OPP
position to the application made by
William J. Schieffelin, of the Citizens
Union. for an injunction 10 restrain
the state and municipal boards of cleo
ton from proceeding with preparations
for the election of delegates TO the con-
stItutional convention.
Mr. Schieffein said in his application
that numerous instances of fraud were
discovered in connection with the cleo
tion at which the question of a conven-
ton was submitted, and that the will Of
the people would be defeated in putting
into effect the apparent result OF the
voting.
The Attorney General called 10 the
attention Of the court that there was
an error of 1000 in the counting of the
vote in Brooklyn and that there should
have appeared that number more in the
official returns in favor of the PROPOSE
ton.
