Make the Test a Fair One,

During the past week branch postoficc was
maintained at 1926 Pennsylvania avenue northwest
Tor the convenience of the G.. A. r. and the many
thousands OF other visitors in Washington. 1t is
row announced that it will be necessary to keep
this office open another week in order to dispose
OF the necessary accumulation of business details,
and that Postmaster Chance will depend upon an
appraisal OF the amount OF business transacted
there this week to satisfy himself as to whether
there is actual need OF branch postofice in this
vicinity, has been persistently represented
to the department by large number of Pennsyl-
vania avenue merchants, whose various petitions
were rejected by Mr.. Pracgcr, Mr.. Chances pre-
decessor. 1t will be recalled that an efficiency
committee OF the Postoffice Department long ago
recommended the establishment of a branch office
IN the department building nearby, but their
recommendation ignored.
Postmaster Chance proposes to take ad
vantage of the opportunity offered him to dis
cover the actual conditions through a practical
demonstration, and doubt the merchants would
be perfectly willing to trust their case to the out
come of the experiment, but for the fact that it
does not go far enough. One week is too short
period to furnish accurate guide the natural
propositions of the postal business OF this important
section. Many persons who would take advantage
OF the conveniences afforded by a permanently
located Office will not even learn of the existence
OF the branch in the week that it is proposed to
keep it in operation while many others will refuse
10 make change in their present methods Of
transacting postal business, with the prospect of
being compelled to change again in week
Postmaster Chance has opportunity 70
settle the troublesome question fairly and pcrma-
nently but ii he is earnest in his desire to asccr
tain the facts he should keep the present branch in
operation for at least month. Then if the amount
Of business coming to it fails to justify its continu
ancc, there will be no other course for the mer-
chants than to admit their mistake and end the
controversy. II the question OF branch no
branch is to depend on the volume OF business
however, the test should be fair one.

A Difficulty with the Revenue.

Out in Missouri the other day Speaker Champ
Clark recounted the glores of the achievements
of the Democratic administration, found there
were enough for all and distributed them lavishly.
ave passed great tariff bill-the best ever placed
on the statute books asserted the Speaker. But
the speech as it given to the East, failed to
furnish any clew to the process by which he arrived
at this verdict for, again referring to the tariff act
the Speaker adopted the attitude of most of the
other party leaders which is that the has pre-
vented reliable test of the efficacy of the tariff
act for the production of revenue. Speaker Clark
said
Republican orators assert that the Cnderwoo
tariff bill. even including the income tax feature
did not bring in revenue enough to conduct the
governmcnt-whch is absolutely untrue Every
body knows that there is difficulty in the
and that the difficulty caused and still is be-
ing caused by the European war"
Presumably n referring to the difficulty in
the revenue" the Speaker meant the reduction in
customs receipts. due to the curtailnlent of inn
ports since other effect of the the
revenues Of the United States government is ap
parent and II this was his meaning it sounds like
admission that the Republican orators tell
ing at least par. o. the truth. Now the figures put
forth by Secretary Redfcld's department show that
in the first year OF the imports into the United
States reduced only about per cent, that
they amounted TO Si.So3o25,657 in the fiscal year,
1914, and ST I6o74o in the fiscal year, i9I5
Under the rates of the Underwood act the revenues
which would have been collected or this SEQ ooo-
worth of imports. had the not kept them
from our ports, would not have been i very serious
factor in the years total receipts certainly the
amount is nowhere large enough to account
for the failure OF the law to produce adequate
revenue. And it must be borne in mind that the
people OF the United States paid into the Treasury
something like $4,000, 900 under the income tax
provision of the Underwood act-which in no
way affected by the war-to say nothing OF some
S7o,ooo.ooo contributed by the tax known the
special tax, imposed with this country at
peace. As the case stands, to have pro-
vidcd $7ooooooo revenue to offset the duties that
would have been collected on S22o, 100000 worth of
imports but for the war. and still the income falls
far short OF the nations needs.
Inevitably the administration will be forced, be-
fore the winter is over to enact new legislation
for increasing the revenue, which is now plainly
inadequate. Speaker Clark's assertion that the
Underwood tariff act is the best ever placed on the
S4tute books coupled with the admission that
there is "a difficulty in the revenue" due to the
war may pass the censors now. but the people
OF the Speakers State will be likely to de-

4 Question of Identity.

Editor Of The Washington Herald
The beautiful poem entitled There Is
no Death is universally attributed to Sir
Edward Rulwer Lytton. II has been
published in the newspapers, and has
gone into the school readers. as tho pro
duction of his gifted pen.
Some years ago n writer who signed
herself Ella W. Peattie. Literary Edi-
tor the Chicago Tribune" made the as
tonishinG statement that il was not writ
ten by Lord Lytton, but by one ]. l.. Nc
Curry. native of Iowa, and first pub
lished in Arthurs Home Magazine. in
July. 1865 She states that this fact was
established by a thorough investig alton
carried on by Lippincott's Magazine.
The poem is an eXQuisitely beautiful
one and it seems to me incredible that
If Mr.. McCurry was indie cd the author of
it he should have remained down to this
day comparative obscurity. He ought.
il he wrote that poem. to be classed with
Edgar Allan Poe. for nothing finer has
Poe's Raven"
John NJ. Daniel. of the Richmond EN-
aminer. said that if Poe had written moth
ing but the Raven that bird would
bear him on its dusky wings across the
gulf of Oblivion to the eternal shores be-
yond In like manner ] say that if the
author of There Is no Death had writ
ten nothing else that poem would cary
him across the gulf of forgetfulness to
the shining shores that lay beyond.
Can any of your readers throw any
light upon the question of the authorship
of this poem in addition to that already
before the public? l. s. MARfE.

Veterans Would Be Prepared.

A thrcc-milc foot between veterans over
20 years of age, parade in which thousands OF
old soldiers of approximately the same number
Of years were on their feet continuously for FIVE
hours is proof that their training during the sad
days OF the carly oo's stood them well in later
years in the battles they had to fight after the
armies were disbandcd
Judging from the physical condition Of partici-
pants in the annual G. A. r. encampment they
must have benefited from the military training of
their younger days. Then, too, the them
selves furnished ample proof that when they were
dismissed at the close of the war the fear then
expressed that the turning loose Of the vast num-
Der of men in so short period would disorganze
conditions was wholly unfounded.
These vast armies of men were scattered all
over the United States, and what they accomplish
ed was wonderful They took new energy into
every walk of life, were generally successful in
the various occupations they engaged in. The
private was the equal of the officer and both
emerged better equipped from the tests they had
gone through. These men have all been through
the horrors of war. They know better than the
civilian of today what it means to obey the call
of country. They know the price of patriotism.

siasm that is generally accredited to youth. these

English Nurses in France.

nurses arc SO chcerfuy compassionate, so skillful
and attentive, and so clean that the paticn, never

daun:s these English nurses. When Berpucs was
shellcd and the fever hospital had to be evacuated
there were not men enough to do the lifting, and
the English nurses bravely, amid the falling shells.
carried away the beds and their occupants to
places OF greater safety. Their one wish is to
get closer and closer to !hc firing line to be right
from the moment they fall. These mutual services

John Redmond, NJ. P, commenting the
attitude of certain lrishmen in this country to-
ward the war said: Those Of who are init
,nately acquainted with America know the in
dividuals concerned and their remarkable nsig-
nihcance, and OF course. treat their efforts with
contempt, and even the English people who have
paid any attention to the subject quite aware
that o5 per cent of Irshmen in America are in
complete sympathy with the attitude OF the Irish
party on war, and the 5 per cent opposed to our
position arc. with one or two exceptions. merely
shriekers and kickers who have given US
anything except annoyance and trouble all

from reliable source, is both interesting and
important in this country. Judging by the noise
made by the shrickcrs and kickers many persons
might be ,uslcd into tho belief that there were
many more Of them.
