that he was working for a Republican

So he wrote fine story, detailing
how harmoniously things were moving
at the convention, explaining the fne

the leaders were working out a pro-

convention and send all the candidates

Secretary's plan are gasoline, crude and
refined oil, automobiles according to
horsepower and many other articles
Leading Republican Senator's like Gal
lenger Of New Hampshire, Smoot Of
Utah, Oliver Of Pennsylvania, Curtis Of
Kansas, and others, are opposed to any
war tax in time of peace. They will
not only oppose the adding of new
articles but will oppose any extension
Of the present war tax law, which ex-
pires January 1, 1915.
There are some Democrats in the
Senate and House who are opposed to
the plans Of the Secretary, but as the
Democrats have a majority of 20 in the
House and a majority Of 16 in the
Senate, they believe that the plan will
be put through.
The condition of the National Treas
ury is still giving some trouble. The

ceeded the income by $46,317,613.OO and
the disbursements for the month Of No

Our Washington Letter
BY CHARLES PAPPAN

TINE people Of Washington have
more to talk about at this open
Il ing Of Congress than they have
had for many years, but the com.
ing wedding Of President Wilson to Mrs.
Gault is still the leading topic. There
are those who approve and think that
the President should have waited O
little longer, then there are others who
are pleased that It is to occur before
January LIST, because they believe 1t
means great social season and there
has been but little doing in a social
way, since President Wilson was in
augurated. The several weddings have
not been enough to satisfy the social
set Of Washington and they are ex-
pecting great things at the White
House when the new First Lady" takes
hold. They expect her to set a pace
that will bring Joy to the social crowd.
The newspapers are very much worried
over two points, the first is in regard
to the manner Of delivery of the invita-
tons, should they be sent by mail or
should they be delivered in person. OF
course this will all be ironed out before
the wedding but 1t Is generally believed
here that those who receive invitations
will not question the manner Of deliv-
cry and those so unfortunate as not to
be invited will not be interested.
The second is In regard to the pres
ents. The President cannot receive
presents Of any kind and If any pres
ents are sent to the White House, they
will be kept there. 1t is said that there
are several articles around the White
House that were sent to former Presi-
dents. So any reader intending to send a
present had better send 1t to Mrs. Gault.
The Senators and Members Of Con-
gress are doing much talking and much
more thinking on the question of pre-
paredness. How the money necessary
to carry out the program is to be
raised, is calling no little trouble.
The Secretary of the Treasury, who by
the way, is the son-in-law Of President
Wilson, has given his plan to the pub
lie. 1t includes a continuance of the
present war tax and would add many

we want to for nothing. Come on down
and spend the afternoon" It is a well
recognized fact that the boy is not 60
ing to seek out a rather lax gambling
den in which to spend his evenings
when he can play all he wishes in his
own home. It isn't the game, 1t il the
surroundings that count.
We know of a certain farm home
where there are several boys all Of the
Observation-Disclosures And yet these
boys are the best contented lot you will
see in many a country neighborhood in
the matter of staying at home. They
do not hike of for town every weekend
evening for they do not need to. The
parents have always provided whatever
games and sporting goods were within
their means and the boys invited their
friends to come over and visit. AS they
grew older more grown up games had
to be adopted to satisfy their love for
sport. Tennis and baseball outfits have
been purchased. Then one memorable
evening one Of the boys was caught in
pool room. He was Enthusiastically a
minor and there was trouble. His lust
for sport had carried him behind the
forbidden doors Now there was moth
ing bad about this pool room. It all
came about through the fact that a GER
tain town ordinance required that boys
under a certain age stay out of its hall
and the proprietor was law abiding
enough to enforce the ordinance The
parents talked the matter over and pur-
chased billiard table after getting a
promise of the boys to play all their
billiards at home in the future.
Ali our Y. M. C. AS have recognized
the entertaining features Of billiards
and purchased tables for their rooms.
Far better that young men and boys
should play these games in the open
hall of the Christian organization than
IN the low dives connected with a ques-
.ionable resort. Better that we should
purchase the table and play in the farm
home than that the boys be led of into
he mazes of the city beyond our ken.
The boy will not brave the contact of
Evil associates in order to play these
games when he can play in his own
lone for nothing. We are not starting
he boy on the downward road by letting
lin play billiards in the farm home.

When he goes away from home he will
seek out the Y. M. G. A. or other public
halls in which to play rather than the

A warning Of mora! decadence, if the
spirit of lawlessness j. all American
communities goes unchecked, was
voiced Friday last in Gov. Charles >.
Whitman inaugural address. 1.-THE
increase Of crime" the governor said,
deserved the Thoughtful attention Of
the legislature"
Disregard OF law, impotence with
legal and moral restraints, contempt
for the judicial and executive ministers
of justice are phenomena observable in
all American communities and in all
classes. he said mo material pros
perity, no Astounding wealth. no prog
ress in the sciences can save us from
moral decadence and ultimate decay if
this spirit Of lawlessness and contempt
for legal authority continues.
There Is but one way OF meeting
the danger, and that is through the
creation OF dominant and pervading
public sentiment in support of the en-
forcement of the law. When that sem
timent is wanting nc devices of the law
can make up for it. "

Elevator Etiquette.

There is no hard and fast rule
about wearing your hat in elevators
In the presence Of women. In pri-
vate elevators it is customary to re-
move their hats when ladies are in the
elevator with them, though this Gus
tom is by no means universal. In
public elevators the uncovering of the
head in the presence Of women is not
considered the thing-especiall since
the rise OF the "suffragists" and the
appearance OF the 'hobble skirt :"

CONTRAST EUROPE an AMERICA

Two things stand out unique and un-
forgettable in the contribution the
year 1914 has made to the history of
the world. One is America greatest
achievement: the other is Europe's
colossal failure.
Civilization stands aghasl at The col
lapse Of European ideals. All the
highest achievements of the nations,
all the things that make for progress
and freedom and justice, the work of
thousand years and the hopes of a
thousand more, all have been crowded
back into the melting-pot of brutal
war. At it's best war is barbarism.
Brute-force belongs to brute stages Of
human development. The wholesale
carnage of these weeks in Belgium and
France and Austria and on the borders
of Germany and Russia is a triumph
of the savage instincts in humanity.
No matter who is responsible for it,
the lining up for mutual slaughter Of
millions upon millions Of men from the
foremost nations of Europe, for alleged
purpose of settling some international
dispute, is blank denial of civilization,
crime against humanity, an apostasy
from Christ.
over against that CHASTITY failure of
Europe is presented in America just
now the celebration Of full century
of unbroken peace between the great
est Empire the world ever saw and the
worlds greatest Republic This is in
deed the wonder of the world; more
than AGO. 600, 600 people OF all races and
colors and languages, covering over
one-quarter Of the land area of the
globe, live at peace under one flag; I'M
der another flag live nearly 100, 600, 600
of as progressive people as the world
knows; and these two flags for hun
dred years, fold in fold, entwine in a
common ideal. for common purpose,
to promote the freedom and progress
and peace Of all humanity. In these
days, these days Of staggering and
bitterness. when the war-cloud of Eu-
rope looms blacklist, when its thunders
speak Of death ard its Hghtnings flash
of hell, turn again to America, and,

Morocco.

Morocco has a population Of some
100000, composed largely of Arab
stock The country is poor in nat.
Nral resources, being largely desert,
though scattered about the territory
are fertile spots OF great beauty.
The natives are hardy and by nature
great lovers Of personal independ-
ence. Their religion is, OF course,
Mohammedanism, but a Mohamme-
eanism that has greatly deteriorated
from that Of the days Of the Arab
glory in Spain and Damascus. II is
doubtful If the white man ever estab.
fishes his power over the Wide, Wild.
inhospitable region of the interior.
The inducements for him to do so
are too few.
