losing now; but the fact remains
that for the present they are losers,
and that the losses have come to
them at most unfortunate time.
Whether it is contemplated by the
law or not, the governmental au-
thorities charged with regulation of
the railroads ought to and must, in
such a time as this, give considera-
tion to the general financial situation
Of those corporations. 1t may be i'm
proper for the President to attempt
influencing the actions of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission; but it
would be yet more improper for the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
refuse to be Influenced by the general
considerations of public interest and
fiscal expediency that are involved
in this situation.

to pay IL per cent on the amount
in excess. Every married man get
ting more than $3.50 week would
have had to pay in like measure. AS
S3S.46 a week means S6.41 for each
of the six working days, the new tax
would have fallen on every unmar-
lied man vino is skilled enough to
earn so cents an hour for eight hours
day.
Not all unmarried men are care
free blades. Some of them have
fllial burdens harder to carry than
the married man, whose tax was to
begin at $4,000 year instead of at
$4,000. A man who has a mother
and one or two sisters to support and
who makes $500 year would have
been taxed under the proposed
change, while his married neighbor,
with $4,000 year and only a wife
to support, would have had to pay
nothing.
This is not brief for the single
man, but rather an illustration to
show how wide and deep n direct tax
would have cut the nearer it had
been brought to the ordinary wage
scale.
President Wilson's stand against
the wider application of the income
tax was based on excellent grounds,
and his demand that some method
tc bring quicker results bc adopted
was entirely proper. And there will
be among the members of Congress
some who will breathe sigh of re-
lief at being freed so easily from the
necessity cf voting for a measure
that could bring upon them nothing
bat a whirlwind of abuse from their
own constituents.
The Washington times., 1914-09-10
NO INCOME TAX RAISE.

If the need of the Government for
additional revenue is as Urgent as
President Wilson and leaders in Con-
gress insist-and there is every indi-
cation that the need is an Urgent
cne-then the President was entirely
right in taking the position that the
plan to increase the income tax
should not be considered. What the
Government needs in the emergency
created by The war is an immediate
increase in it's revenues The addi-
tional income tax would not begin
to produce results until July l of
next year. Before that time it would
be necessary 20 make special pro-
vision to tide over until the receipts
from the increased income tax be-
came available.
In such an emergency as the pres
ent the country could afford the in
crease in income tax. But some
members cf Congress had betrayed
symptoms of alarm in regard to the
income tax before President Wilson
let his opposition be known. They
foresaw in The extension Of the tax
to the mer and women with incomes
Of but $4,000 a year the beginnings
of a mighty storm of protest from
the large group of professional men
and tradesrnen whose incomes range
from $1,000 to $4,000 a year and
who, by calculated design, had been
exempted when the original income
tax bill was drawn.
The tentative measure meant that
every unmarried man earning in ex-
cess of $3s.46 a week would have had

THE PROCLAMATION.

One good effect of the Presidents
proclamation asking united prayer
may be that it will stop some OF the
busybodies who fit about whisper
ing schemes Ito end the war" and
uttering vague nonsense about the
ability of the United States to check
the European conflict.
Among the things for which Mr..
Wilson asks us to pray is that the
Almighty set straight the things
men "canno. govern or alter" When
he wrote that he must have had in
mind the hope!essness and fclly of
Ill-timed interference on the part of
his country. No words from this
OF any other nation could now ne
heard above the roar of the battle
broad.
The proclamation is the thought
ful work of a deeply religious man
On an occasion when even the most
worldly turn their eyes to the sky.
It is a complete document. 1t does
not need the amendment suggested

offered in America should be for the
success of the right" What prayer
with any other wish could reach the

KAISER TO PRESIDENT.

1t is most natural that the Ger
man ruler should have sent a per-
sonal message to President Wilson,
ting forth the German side of the
tory about The sack of LoIvain, the
9rbarities charged against the Ger
1ans throughout Belgium generally,
nd other matters that have been
widely alleged. Through the inhu-
nee of the allies, Belgium has sent
this country delegation, nomi-
lally to appeal 20 the President and
ay authenticated facts before him;
,-ctually, of course, to make their ap-
zeal to the American public on be-
half of Belgium and of the allies
Cause.
To assume that such message as
ne Kaiser has sent is in any way a
0reliminary to a peace overture is
Together too optimistic That sug-
-cstion comes from the diplomats of
he allies, glad to construe every
hing possible as evidence that the
German cause is crumbling. On the
~ontrary it is likely to require
ronths Of uniform and pretty rapid
~dccesscs by the allies before Ger
many will be ready to make even
ne tentative move toward initiation

But the Kaiser's message to Presi-
.ent Wilson does serve t. keep open
: friendly path toward The light. to

Today it is able 20 observe that

1a-"REzoNv1LLE,' By Anne MoRoT

Hasty observers have frequently ac-
cused Morot of painting simply the
movements of the horse as they have
been ascertained by instantaneous pho
Biography. In point Of fact he has never
used a Photographic document; fur
thermore. he had already made his OBJ
servations of the movements Of the
horse before Mr.. Muybridge revealed
to the artistic world the results Of his
remarkable experiments.
If fortune had not made him paint
er. his tastes would have made him a
riding master. In the riding school he
began to observe the horse and his at
tention was directed to its movements
by the theory Of the decomposition Of
the steps which the professors taught.
In this theory Morot. controlling facts
by his eye merely, found much false
doctrine. and with the enthusiasm of
his years and the love of horses for his
guides, he discussed the matter point

ed. noted, and expounded, refusing to
accept the traditional doctrines.
With the aid of a cardboard instru-
ment devised by himself. Morot brought
the results OF his observations to Muy-
bridge in 1879. who confirmed Morot's
theories. His photographs were brought
10 Paris and exhibited in Meissonier's
studio to the masters great astonish-
ment.
In Morots pictures Of cavalry charges
1t will be found that he avoids in the
principal figures all intermediary ele-
rpents of movements; he selects rather
the beginning or the end. In the con-
fused mass Of a cavalry charge he will
paint one horse completely. and the rest
of the troop will be bits Of horses. ele-
ments Of movement. all the phases

agglomeration of detail creates the IL
fusion of vision of rushing horsemen.
An examination of ''Rezonyille" will ex-
plain this meaning.
Morot, who, as has been seen, studied
the horse experimentally before hs
thought of painting the horse artistic
ally. has carried the representation of
movement to a point where 1t seems
likely to remain for some time to come.

Social and spiritual amalgam Is
[ keynote to the work of the
Salvation Army the world over.
The twain are Joined together. the
social leans against the spiritual.
the spiritual supports the social.
one against the other. To separate
them would mean the collapse of
the whole. while out Of the union
rises man-man risen from the
ruins of awful pasts. Man degrad-
ed, cast out. all image of God OBJ

ming. helped up. propped up. held
up by his brother man and in his
turn bringing forth in his fellow
a host Of divine graccs, pity, sym
pathy, and patience.
The social without the spiritual
would be as an engine without
steam and the spiritual without
the social would be to neglect that
part of the whole duty to man
which teaches US "to deal bread
to the hungry" as well as Ito keep
unspotted from the world" The
combination forms the only perfect
and successful federation that
comprises the brotherhood Of man.
The work of the Salvation Army
originally was only gospel work,
having gospel services in halls
each evening and on the streets
when the weather permitted.
Work Not Snowy.
Now the work is many sided and Is
carried on in fifty-eight countries.

RAIMENT OF AUSTRIA.


map of Europe must be made, we
shall likely see an early disappear
ance of Austria from the scheme of
things. Austria, as it now is, will
be known no more. For from Aus
tria must come that which will
satisfy every ore Of the other an
tagonists.
Lying at the center Of Europe,
made up of a great complex of races,
languages, and sympathy, Austria
can give to everybody and save little
to herself. In the event of the allies
winning, they will be confronted first
by Russia's demands. Russia will
have to be granted good deal: Po-
land, Galicia, perhaps an open way
to the warm sea.
France will get back Alsace-Lor-
raine and possibly more. Belgium
will gain territory. Altogether, no
inconsiderable part will have heen
filed away from the edges of Ger
many.
But Germany must not be wrecked.
1t will be needed as a real power in
the future, to guard the west from
the Slavs.
So, compensating Germany for
what she loses elsewhere, Austria
will be handed over to her; western
Austria, German-speaking Austria;
and the preponderance Of Prussia in
the German federation will there
after be balanced off by an Austria
at the south. This will leave Aus
tria where, cthnically, it ought to be.
Hungary will be granted auton-
omy, perhaps, under Russian suzer-
aiDty; SO will reunited Poland.
Bosnia Herzegovina will so back to
Servia; and the map of Europe will
be vastly more logical than before,
while Austria will have deftly dis
appeared from II.
What does Britain get for her big
part in the war? First, she gets the
lions share of German commerce
and carrying business the world
over. She wrecks German industry,
and will seize a vast share of it.
After that, she gets big slice of
German colonial possessions in
Africa and the Pacific. Probably she
will take the Belgian Congo as her
compensation for participating in the
allies defense of Belgium. That will
make France and Britain joint own
ers of about everything worth having
ir Africa. Britain will complete the
right -of-way for her Cape-to-Cairo
road, by thus perfecting British title
to a vast north-and-south belt of
territory clear through the continent.
Perhaps Italy will have to be given
as payment FOR her very
real service to the allies in staying
aloof from the triple alliance.
Discussions OF the procedure for
ending the war and readjusting the
worlds map afterward, are of course
premature, speculative, and of small
value, though of much interest. But
the fact stands, and it will stand
when a peace congress meets, that
the simple and logical way to make
this peace is by the partition of the
dual monarchy.
