Taxation is growing to be such a bur-
den that it works the farmers to death
TO pay taxes and try to educate his
children. Whenever county gets out
of debt, there's more offices created to
help consume the surplus money. We
can never pay bonded debt as long
as we have to pay for things that are
detrimental to our welfare. But we
will find graft in our government from
beat to state.
The people pay their taxes to keep
their government up,
But along comes the officers who say
we're due an extra sup;
So they fill their pockets with three

Almost simultaneously with the report of the
execution of an English nurse by the German
military authorities of Belgium, there appeared
q Translation in English of an article in 1.-THE
leading Catholic paper of Holland, Di Tijd
dealing with the German repressive measures
At Louvain early in the war. The Holland
paper is known for its strict neutrality, de
cIares the Literary Digest, which republishes
considerable of the translation of the article,
which is by an Austrian priest. He was en-
trusted with |" a semi-official mission to in
1uife about Louvain." 1t will be remembered
hat the Germans charged the Louvain civilians
With an organized plot to shoot German sol
.iers.
The priests conclusions contain the definite
<Iatement that German troops mistook their

mates that after the mistake was discovered

"A VOTE ON WAR.

The argument of Senator Owen of Oklahoma
that no war should be undertaken by the
United States unless after affirmative vote Of
the whole people undoubtedly has sincerity
behind it, but there is much room for doubt
whether an election would not more often rush
the country into war than keep it out of con-
fict. ii
A popular vote, taken at a time of great ma
tional excitement which is the only time there
viii be danger of war by the United States
could hardly be dispassionate view either of
The issue at'stake or of the nations prepared
ness for battle. In fact, one need go back no
further than the Spanish American war to re-
member an occasion when popular vote al
most certainly would have sent the country
INTO hostilities long before the date when war
was actually declared. For weeks it seemed that
ii every section Of the country Mckinley was
urged, implored to start the fight; threatened,
condemned because he did not.
Government by the people is sufficiently a
thing of reality today so that there is little
danger of the country's leaders declaring war
if the country as a whole does not wish it!
With a free press, and free speech, the senti-
ment of the country is always ascertainable on
any clean-cut and vital issue important enough

LegegaFME7 I TOPIC,

Charles Walter, Company B. LIST In
fantry, has had his skull crushed by a
beer bottle flung at him with deadly
aim. He now lies in the post hospital
in a dangerous condition, while Pvt.
Perry is under arrest. charged with
having committed the deadly deed.
Latest reports indicate that the
wounded man may recover.
In the reports published from time
to time in the daily press. the beer
garden continues to maintain its mo-
torious reputation for drunken rows
and bloody scenes. Not so long ago
il was stated in the press that on a
certain night in November the mill.
tary authorities were obliged to call
out company of armed men to Quell
the riot and prevent a bloody fight,
and this. too. notwithstanding the pres
ence Of the patrol which the authori-
ties are in the habit of detailing in
order to police the place and prevent
too much disorder
We learn that the regular police Of
ficers at Wahiawa are given orders not
to interfere with the conditions at the
u
that it is under military supervision.
We also learn that owing to the repu.
tation which the place has earned for
itself the board of license COM
missioners is anxious to have the
place closed and that the railroad au.
thorities would also be glad to cancel
their lease with the proprietor; the
provisions being such that the same
can be cancelled on short notice.
1t is well-known fact that the
promises made by the proprietor as
to the character of the place have not
been fulfilled Mr.. Kimball stipulated
with the railroad and military authori-
ties that the place should not only be
a well-kept beer garden, but also fur
nished with agencies for the amuse
ment of the men, none of which have
been Installed OF course. the beer
flows freely and the bank account
swells.
We understand that so acute have
the conditions become that Governor
Pinkham has recently made two visits
to the place In order to inform him
self as to the existing conditions. 1t
appears that either the board of rail-
road directors, or license commission
ers, or the military authorities has
power to act in the matter and per-
close the place. but neither
cares to take the initiative We
might suggest a united effort on the
part Of these three bodies.
Yours very sincerely,
A CITIZEN.
