Editor of The Washington Herald:
I've been a subscriber to The Herald

Problem of Revenue" shows a marked
deterioration from the beginning OF

pie law. or the simplest of economics.
is that any non-producing element can
be eliminated to our advantage?
Whisky. as you say. is taxed. and this
would be dreadful reduction in our
income as a nation; but IL produces"
what-nine-tenths of the crime and
misery-reduces mans resistance to
disease, reduces his deficiency, causing
the loss of millions that otherwise
would be "produced;" and no one can
point out one single good it does ex-
cept as you see it here. a partner OF
the government because its revenue is
needed. The law of common sense is
coming more and more to be recog-
nized in this matter. but il is not for
the continuance of partnership with
an outlaw. How any one can attempt
to justify legalizing this traffic with
all il is responsible for just to con-
tinue receiving its money is beyond

Editor of the Washington Herald:
Thank you for the editorial Asbestos
Horses" Now. cannot something be
done for the comfort of the horses
around Union Station? They broil and
bake under the scorching sun of summer
and freeze and suffer through the storms
of winter with no protection, you
know. II doesn't seem that an orna-
mental iron shelter would seriously mar
the present or future beauty of the
Plaza. OF course, it's too late to hope
for any help for this summer. but per-
haps a little agitation now might do
some good before winter. 1t seems hard
that more thought is not given to the
comfort of the horses. The Humane So
ciety do all they can but they get little
help, i believe, as / belonged to the
ciety in New York and activity was
hard to be had.

Anger.
BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

A S boy used to observe certain grown-ups
of my acquaintance with awe They seemed
TO me to be wonderful people. Always they were
kind and pleasant And they were never patronz-

not care for at all.

he had suddenly become demon.

Anger is form of madness. The words we
| apply to it show that human beings have long
recognized its character. We still speak of angry
people as mad. We sometimes say that they are
| furious" or in FURY"
In one respect anger is like drunkenness 1t
tends to destroy prudence.
Where the intoxicaton of anger is complete
prudence disappears altogether. Then the way is
clear for infamy.
There people who, when they have once
yielded to anger, lose all control. They snatch
any weapon within reach. If they cannot strike
with things they will strike with words, often far
terrible in their effect
Sometimes anger is referred to as "temper."
And among many people to have temper is con-
sidered creditable. 1t is in some way associated
with power
The pride that people take in having temper
often leads them to shameful indulgence in anger
And repeated indulgence tends to destroy the ca
pacity for self-control.

TO acquire erroneous notion of their own power
For there is doubt that in anger there is
good deal of power. 1t often gets what it wants
Nevertheless what it loses may be so vast as
to be incaculabe.
Great as the power of anger may be in some
cases, it is pitifully small compared with the power
of its opposite quality, self-control And Just as
often to be weakness
The truth is of course that real strength lies
rot in anger but in the control of anger
In the last chapter of Tolstos's novel, THE
Kreutzer Sonata" there is wonderful description
made by murderer of his sensations while killing
his wife in anger. Here Tolstoy gives clear ex-
hibition of his genius, of his power to see clearly
into the deepest springs of action
The murderer explains that, though his anger
grew more and violent as he approached
closer and closer to the point where he knew he
should commit murder, he never lost the sense
that by an effort of will he could control himself
1t was as if he were two persons one passion
ately yielding to his anger, the other calmly look
ing on, judging and giving counsel
In moments OF anger many of us have realized
this double personality. We have known that anv
of our anger weakness And we
have realized none the less clearly because we
yielded till were in a fury
Perhaps this double consciousness explains why
some strong natures, in the midst of wrath, sud
lenly become still as DEATH
There are comparatively few people who have
not something of this double consciousness. II is

WISDOM however smothered, warning us against

Police Had Close Call.

Night Police Dick Eggleston
came near being killed Tuesday
night and he had a revolver duel
with burglar. While Mr.. Eggleston
was making the rounds in the rear
of the stores he found a man trying
to gain an entrance into the Kraft
Clothing Co. store. How good a
shot the burglar is was shown by
two bullet holes in the coat of the
police.
The front of the store was dark
ened with heavy signs telling of the
big sale which is now going on at
the store. This made it impossible
to see from the street to the rear of
the room, and made it good place
for a burglar to carry out any plans.
The man had attempted to get
through one of the windows and was
caught in the very act by the police.
There was the order for the man to
surrender and he commenced firing
from large calibre revolver. The
police returned the fire but the man
got away. When bullets commence
to cut through mans coat that is
considered too close for comfort. -

Long May 1t Ring"

| The old Liberty Bell went through
Iowa last week, probably for thu
first time in it's history. The old bel

it's existence and this trip to Califor
MIA and back is to be it's longest

Davenport, McGergor, Iowa City, Des
Moines, Kansas City and Omaha
where people had a few hours in
which to see it, The famous old
Liberty Bell rang out the tidings, OF
the signing of the Declaration Of In
dependence when the revolutionary
fathers of this country signed the
| document declaring the independ-
ence of this country from King
George and Great Britain in 1776-
and they had to fight eight years to
make it good The United States
has grown some since then and is
still as independent as those fore
fathers thought it ought to be.
Here are some things about the
bell it would be we'll to cut out and
paste in your scrap book:
July 4, 1776, the bell was rung
ton of Independence.
OCIOUcI -, Iuc UCll lang
for the surrender of CORVALLIS.
April 16, 1888, rang out for the
proclamation of peace.
September 20, 1924, It rang to
welcome Lafayette to the Hall of In
dependence.
July 4, 1926, it ushered in the
year of Jubilee, the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Republic.
July "a, 1895, it tolled for the
death of Thomas Jefferson.
July 4, 1881, is the last recorded
ringing of this famous bell to COM
memorate the day of independence.
February %, 1892, is it's last re-
corded ringing to commemorate the
birth of Washington.
In the same year it tolled the death
of the last survivor of the Declara-
ton, Charles Carol, Of Carrollton.
July 2, 1884, it tolled once more.
Lafayette was dead.
July 8, 1885, while being tolled
for the death of Chief Justice John
Marshall, a crack was developed,
starting from the rim and inclining
in a right-hand direction toward the
crown.
Another attempt was made to
ring it on Washington's birthday,
February %. 1S43, but the fracture
was so much increased that no at
tempt has ever been made to ring
it since. Its voice is now silent, and
yet it will ring in the hearts of all
patriotic people so long as the name
of liberty shall last.
