WIN Need Some ExpIalnIna.

The people of the United States con.
tributed $415, 100000 in internal taxes
last year. including she corporation
and individual income taxes-the
largest internal revenue ever raised.
But in spite of these figures the ad.
ministration still appears to be con.
fronted with the necessity of adopting
some means of raising revenue to take
the place of the special war tax
which expires by limitation at the end
of the calendar year. Democratic
spellbinders will find some difficulty
in explaining the heavy taxation. in
the campaign next year.

The women OF Iceland win always
look upon the nineteenth Of June as a
great date in their history. for on that
day the king of Denmark signed the
new constitution OF Iceland. which
gives to women the right to vote. Ths
great pioneer IN the woman's move
ment in Iceland was the late Tjorbiorg
Sveinsdottir, midwife at Reykjayik.
She had a grea. and sympathetic heart
her reputation as a physician and mid
wife was nationwide. her sense Of fair
play was questioned by no one. and
her eloquence was unparalleled-all OF
which combined to make her, though
woman and having no right to vote
or be elected to Office, a logical speak
er at political meetings and other gath
erings OF all sorts. She welded a
great political influence in her day.
According to the new constitution.
women will have the same chances as
men to become members of the althing,
but it is said that there will be no
scrambling among the women to get
into the legislature OF Iceland.

SWEDEN.

What will Sweden do?
This is question being asked with
increasing frequency here.
No one knows why Sweden should
do anything. But. that she will do
something shortly, fayoring one side
or the other in the great war seems
to be an established opinion in the
ally countries.
1t is undeniahie that popular opinion,
based on more or less reliable infor-
nation. is that Sweden shortly will
throw in her lot with Germany. In
vestigation in diplomatic circles de-
velops these facts:
Germany is doing her best to bring
Sweden into the war.
There is a party in Sweden that IA
vors Germany and Is willing to have
the Swedish army help the Germans.
This party includes the financial inter
ests, but is in the minority numerical
ly. The Progressive party two to one
in the past election. is anti-Gernan
and antlwar.
The war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia. reminding the swedes that
Russia took Finland from Sweden.
The militarists Of Sweden are OF the
German school; the Swedish army Is
| trained on German lines; the sympa-
th:es of RAINY Swedish militarists are
with Germany.
| The chief outstanding fact Is that
| Sweden's democracy Is being severely
| tested on the war question. II This
democracy succeeds. Sweden viii not
enter the war.

book.
This war book. which was published
two months ago. strongly advocated

the side of Germany and has been the

bling there few years ago and we
have done the same In every city in
the circuit. We arrested forty-nine In
the Philadelphia grandstand at one
time. which showed that we we're in
earnest about the crusade.
There is nothing moreharmful to
baseball than gambling and l think we
have 1t pretty we'll rooted out. When
we started after the gamblers In Bos-
ton. right after Jimmie MacAleer took
hold Of the team. We had all kinds Of
obstacles thrown in our way. Influ-
entail politicians and others tried their
best to protect these teaches, but we
stopped at nothing and soon had the
regulars suppressed. OF course 1t Ia
next to impossible to stop friendly bet
