Won Moltke, former chief of the gen.

Nobody in Germany wanted this

Different Views of Peace

TWO things seem never 10 occur to our
l good friends who lombard the news
Papers with letters saying in effect, that
'the President could stop the war in six
weeks by placing an embargo on the exporta-
ton of arms. One is that the President
has absolutely no power to do what his critics
say he should do the declaration of an en-
largo being the function of Congress; the
other is that if termination OF the war in any
way, is the one really desirable consideration
the result can be attained whenever the rulers
of Europe make up their minds
The rulers of the beligerent countries can
have peace whenever they want it enough
to stop fighting. 1t is true, they might not
appreciate the sort of peace they would oh
tain. but some sort is always within their
reach The Kaiser, for example, if he con-
siders war abominable as ii is declared to
be by some Of his representatives in this
country, can terminate hostilities almost by
raising his hand
The truth is, of course, that everybody
wants peace if he have it on his own
terms, while peace on some other terms seems
to him highly undesirable.

The Burden of Taxation

LOW long will the American people stand
the increasing burden -of taxation put
upon them. especially by the State govern
ments? The just-published United States
census report. entitled Assessed Valuation
OF Property and Amounts and Rates of Levy"
shows both the wonderful increase in the
valuation OF property and in tax lcvies
The total assessed valuation of property
liable TO ad valorem taxation increased from
$4,000, 100000 in 1902 to $4,000, 900 900
in 1912. This increase not an absolute
increase in property values, but to consider
able extent rise in assessments. Progress
was undoubtedly great, but the taXgatherer
more than kept pace with it,
In 1850 the per capita figure for ad
valorem taxation was So; in 1870, S5S7; in
1880, $500; in 1890, $7.53; in 1902 S922:
IN 1912, S13.9l. The increase in taxation he
tween 1850 and 1912 was enormous, and the
increase IN the decade between 1902 and
1912 very great
This last decade has witnessed the trans
formation +iof the American State govern
ments from fairly economical institutions
into exceedingly expensive luxurics. Prac-
ucally all State governments have doubled
or lrebled their expenses in this brief pcriod
Many useful departments have been added in
the process, but the burden of taxation for
ne American is growing excessive We are
paving war taxes in a state of profound peace.

seasoning for julep?
Wherefore, comes now William j. hampton
F. 8. D., Of New York, and exc fellow of in
finite wit. commissioned by the society to
confess Its humiliating Flight and to pray for
enlightenment. Comes the said Hampton,
thirsting for knowledge, to the fountain head
OF the same. and submits to Virginia editors.
through The Times Dispatch, the prayer OF
the benighted.
We'll, the answer is not difficult, though it
pains US to observe that the Three Wise Men
of Gotham, who went to sea in bowl. have
multiplied and are agai! at sea in their frail
craft. The bowl is trimming with the nectar
OF the gods. but there are fellows of the
Society of Deipnosophists aboard who would
poison 1t with sprigs of various noxious weeds
which they have the effrontery to call mint.
Behold In the derelict craft the Fellow OF
the Society of Deipnosophists who pollutes
his julep with the mint called peppermint
tmentha piperita). and looks with charity
upon one who poisons his'n with feldmint
(mentha arvensis), and smile, brothers. smile
with deepest compassion upon still another of
these wise Men, who unconscously insults
his beverage by Gaping the CONCEALED crystals
that float idle on it's bosom with q species OF
grass botanically known as horsemint Omen

fallen upon evil days when we find it in these
vandal hands.
Consider the juleps that the sapent phil
oioglsts, phllomaths and philosophers OF the
S. D. OF n. Y are variously standing sponsor
for-then reflect upon the retributive justice
of prohibition!
Go, gentle Hampton, go back to the Deip-
nosophists and disilluson your fellows. Tell
them there is but one species of mint recog-
nized in the home and birthplace Of the iulep.
Your botanical sharps call it spearmint be-
cause of the spear-shaped formation of the
leaf
The sacrlege against the julep your fell
lows have unwittingly committed is forgiven
But human nature is human nature, and the
crime never be forgot.
Tell them, gentle Hampton, in softest
speech that only Virginians may speak with
supreme authority the question that has
harried the great minds of your learned So
ciety. The real spearmint, like the real JULIEN,
is indigenous TO the soil of the Mother OF
Presidents All other species OF mint are
spurious.
There is no mint but spearmint and The
Virginia julep is its celestial profit!
