Revenues and Expenses.

The President. ii is stated, will not
consider recommendation as to ad-
ditional revenues until he has de-
cided upon recommendations as to
additional expenses. That is the
orderly. business procedure.
Nothing is palmer than that the
governments expenses, not only Tor
the next fiscal year, but for some
years following. should be. and are
going to be. large. In the matter OF
the national defense we shall have
to make up for past skimpings, and
even neglect. while i'll all other mat
ters we shall have to provide 1iber-
ally. and thereby economically, for
the everyday needs OF a flourishing
and growing country.
AS a people We feel that we are
scheduled for big things. We hope
to escape the horrors OF war. But
whether we do or not, we must take
our place i'll the world procession
when the war closes; and that place
should be in the front rank. Ii the
program now shaping for increased
foreign trade, and for an American
merchant marine to carry it, is put
through. our achievements hereto
fore as manufacturing nation will
appear small by comparison with the
achievements of the future. Big

and Uncle Sam should not hesitate to
incur them on carefully calculated
lines.
The necessary revenues can be
found. In finding them some old
notions about taxation may have to
be discarded and some new ones
adopted. But many old things are
passing away. The war has I'M
settled so much, especially ora bust
ness character, and made imperative
the rccasting of so much, not only
this country but all countries may
expect many and great changes i'll
the general equation when peace is
restored.
That Congress she uld tackle the
first stages of this important job as
soon as possible is a conviction that
grows. There are SO many divisions
Of the subject, and so many angles to
each division, time will be required
70 make everything clear, and pro-
duce legislation that will stand the
test and meet the emergencies.
There is much i'll the situation to
subordinate. and in a measure elm
mate. what is called politics. At the
same time a. presidential campaign
approaches, with control of the coun-
try the stake; and we shall see the
two old parties prepare for action i'll
much the same old way. Hence the
advisability of getting to work in
time for cleanup and clear-out
not later than the beginning of sum-
mer next year.

The Business Men in Camp.

! 1t may be asked by some what will
be accomplished by the fortnight S
stay i'll camp at Plattsburg of a
! thousand or so of business men from
various large eastern cities. OF
course, they will not be made into
soldiers in that time. As far as real
immediate military preparedness goes
little will have been effected, but
these men will have gained some
! thing from their two weeks in>eamp
that will be of great value to them
personally and of potential value to
the country. They will have acquired
the point of view of the soldier in
the ranks and have learned first of
all the lesson of discipline Many of
these men are commanders of other
men in large numbers, accustomed to
giving orders and being obeyed inn
plicity and unquestioningly. Now
they are in the ranks taking orders
from others and compelled to obey
them. The moral effect of such an
experience is not to be overesti-
mated. 1t will affect their attitude
later toward their helpers.
AS for military value. the camp at
Plattsburg is chiefly important be-
cause it proves that the men from
whom our emergency army will be
recruited in case of actual need are at
this time utterly unframed and un-
disciplined. 1t is a common cry, in
answer to the suggestion that the
United States is ill-prepared to de-
fend itself, that it could raise an army
of several million men in few days
or weeks. 1t probably could enlist
great army, but even if there were
arms and ammunition for them they
would be but the poorest sort of ma
terial for weeks to come. They would
| know nothing about camp life, moth
ing about arms, nothing about dis
cipline. They would be an unframed
mob for the first precious, weeks
which, as the experiences in Europe
of year ago effectively prove, are
those in which campaigns are won or
| lost.
If there were fifty Plattsburg
camps in different parts of the coun-
try and the business and professional
men and workingmen went to them
| for two weeks each throughout the
summer the United States would be-
gin to have the foundation for that
great potential reserve of force which
it is the proud boast OF minimizing
patriots it has today But these fort
nights in camp must be repeated year
after year to be of any good. They
must not be regarded as picnics, but
as stern business, as an investment in
! citizenship.

Mr.. Bryan's Activity.

Relieved of the cares OF office, and
with the whole country before him
where to choose, Mr.. Bryan is again
an entertainer, and with the enter
tainers stands. He probably exclaims
to himself, This is the life" The
old time comes over him. Crowds
gather to hear him, paying good
money for the privilege. There is
something doing every day - and
night. He rushes from place to place
with his message, and delivers it
with all the fire and eloquencc at his
command.
Mr.. Bryan left Congress twenty
years ago, after service of two
terms in the House. He had not
been inconspicuous there, but he had
not realized his expectations. He had
not dominated the scene as he had
hoped he might. SO he shook the
congressional dust from his feet, and
set out to do elsewhere what he had
failed to do in Washington. He sue
ceeded. In less than two years he
had introduced himself so widely to
chautauqua audiences his following
was large, and at Chicago, in the
summer OF 1896, he captured the
leadership OF the democratic party.
After two. years as an executive
Mr.. Bryan has quilted Office. His
service in the State Department was
not inconspicuous. but he did not re-
alize his expectations there. He did
not dominate the situation. He was
not the compelling force he desired
10 be. So he handed in his resigna-
ton and returned to old activities.
But let US note a difference be-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-14

tween that time and this, and Mr..
Bryan then and now. The para
mount issue then was silver. and the
democratic party had long record
as the silver party. Mr.. Bryan was
on familiar ground, and had only to
rally men with an old cry. Today
the national defense is leading is
sue. and the democratic party in its
platform has declared for IAN ade-
uuate defense" 1t has never de-
clared for unpreparedness. or such
peace policy as Mr. Bryan is now adj
vocating. He is appealing for sup
port with a new cry, and one in OPP
position to known democratic sentl-
ment in many states.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Bryan, then
in the flush OF brilliant young man
hood, was playing for his party's
capital prize - its presidential nomi-
nation-and next year he won it. To-
day he disclaims any desire to sup
plant Mr.. Wilson. and probably could
not do so if he would. The success
of such drive" on the President
would disrupt the democratic party,
and make next years campaign a
walkaway for the republicans. Never
theless, Mr.. Bryan's progress, what
ever it may be, will not escape the
attention of the political managers,
regardless of party.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-14

and platform must consist" The
two men they put up to be voted for
must in their records and professions
be in entire harmony with their par
tvs formal promises.
What of the bull moosers? VIII
they meet before either Of the old
parties. name their men and adopt
their platform upon sort of notice
that if either OF the old parties in its
platform subscribes to their doctrines
in whole or in large part their ticket
will be Withdrawn and the bull moose
strength thrown to the party that
has taken such action?
A vancouver OF that kind by the
straightout p-ohibitionists of Ken
lucky has just failed They met some
weeks ago in state convention, nomi-
mated ticket and adopted platform
upon the announced condition that
if either the democrats or the repub-
licans in convention declared for pro-
hibition. they. the profibitionists.
would withdraw their ticket and sup
port the ticket OF the old party that
had thus subscribed to their para
mount issue.
The republicans have written their
platform and declared for the county
unit. Statewide prohibition received
but handful of votes. The demo-
Gratis last week nominated candi-
date for governor who received a
plurality of 10000 on a county unit
pledge, and will in short time sup
plement this by platform utterance
to the same effect.
So that there is nothing for the
straightout prohibitionists, if they
mean what they say, but stand up and
be counted

The Fading Summer.

Never mind the roses that must soon
grow family fair.
Let 'em fade.
Never mind the sunshine where the
perfume fills the air,
Nor the shade.
The summer had its fling and now
we're ready for the fall;
We are ready for the north wind
with his long and sturdy call;
And we won't regret the summer
with its poisoning at all;
Let it fade!
1t is useless for the poet to bewail
the passing show.
Let it fade!
There isn't any use of his pathetic,
soft. and low
Serenade.
We are ready for the time when we
can stamp our feet and puff
And watch the snowdrifts PLAYING.

call the summers bluff.

Why T.uo Weeks Later
Than Formerly?

Because in past seasons many
of our patrons have made known
to us their desire to participate in
the sale, but owing to being away
from the city during the entire
month of August they could not
make selections, hence we decided
to hold it later. By SO doing we
will be able to continue it until all
will have the opportunity of shar-
ing in the advantages offered.

Reasons for Buying
Furs NouU.

We have been successful in Sc
curing for this sale furs that are in
greatest demand at lower prices
than have ever been possible. We
can state without fear of contra
diction that furs are more reason
ably priced than in many seasons.
Add to this reasonable pricing the
20 to 1915 per cent reduction we
are making during this sale and
the reason for buying can easily
be seen.
Fine Furs are very plentiful
now as result of the decrease in
foreign buying. We bought
early and secured the choicest
peltry the markets afforded-in
many cases the best we have ever
had, and which were not obtain
able heretofore, because they
were exported.
Some furs. such as Hudson
Seal, will not be procurable later
on, because they have to be sent
abroad for dyeing, and this is not
possible to any extent under pres
ent conditions.

Gilbert Bede Says

A crank refuses to be turned

The bigger liar a man is the
greater his capacity for lying out
of it.
The man who is pointing with
outward pride may be viewing
with inward alarm.
You can often make the most
Roadway in a courtship by letting
things drift along.
Most public men would rather
be cussed moderately than not to
be talked about at all.
Some men are always threaten
ing to bet, and never do. They
usually are loud takers.
Some Of the strongest-willed
people lose out because they can t
control their own stomachs.
We should like to see good
times if for 40 other reason than

If we didn't keep our eyes so
closely rivited on the mistakes of
others we might see our own.
The respect of your enemies is
more to be desired than the faint
praise and flattery of your friends.
The rising generation should be
a wise one, considering the ques-
tions we older ones have to ans
wer for the youngsters.
Ideal weather is the kind we
happen to want at the time-and
it never happens that we have just
the kind we want.

Speaking of that old adage that
you may drive a horse to water
but that you can't make him

nagging wife will drive a man to
something besides water.
