Limburger and Taxation.

Following their announcement that
tax will be levied on munitions of war
to bolster up the Underwood tariff-for-
less-than-revenue law, the Democrats
have gotten into an awful stew as to
just what articles will come under the
munltlon of war category. The Stand
ard dictionary definition of "muni-
tom is Ammunition and all neces-
sary war material, including stores of
every kind; all requisites for warfare,
exclusive of money and men,. This
IS pretty comprehensive when the
methods of conducting modern warfare
are considered. According to Secre-
tary Redfeld IS idea of what properly
constitutes munition Of war, only five
per cent of our export trade comes I'M
der that category. Then there is the
eyer-growing list coming under the
British orders in respect to contraband
OF war. Mr.. Redfeld, for instance,
would eliminate dairy products from
the classification Of war munitions.
Now, suppose limburger cheese were
born IN Wisconsin and expatriated to
Germany. Mr.. Redfe1d would no call
TINS war munition, even though it
might constitute considerably more
than five per Hscento of our exports.
Suppose that cheese were surrounded
by the entire British fleet, and in the
slaughter which ensued it were cap
tured and towed into quarantine. The
British High Court of Admiralty, re-
solving itself into coroner IS board,
after most hasty deliberation, declares
the cheese to be contraband and adj
Journs instanter. Following this Sin
ternational crisis,'' as President Will
son would call it, Democratic con-
gress proceeds to the consideration of
taxation of munition Of war. Would
they accept the Redfeldian classified
ton OF hmburger cheese, or would it
be declared a proper subject of taxa
ton on the strength of the decision
of the Admiralty Court and the
cheese's own personality? Would they
permit the cheese to plead its own
cause before a Democratic smelling''
committee, or would they fear such
procedure would subject them to the
charge of encouraging an 4insidious
lobby 1t is a matter fraught with
grave consequences. The public should
know.

The Flights of convention oratory.

The Flights of Convention Oratory.
From the speech of Michael B. O.

nominating LaFollette for tn
Presidency
"They will not fall a-trembling
before the specter Of a dragon
conjured like the tabled Phoenix
from the ashes Of exhausted,
annihilated Europe; nor will they
lash themselves into a lather of
panic before the Brown Man of
the Pacific without some evidence
of i'll intent. Not in a spirit of
cowardice; not in a spirit of fear;
not in a spirit of blind indifference
to the lesson Of the conflict, but
with clear visioned comprehen-
sion of the consequences their
choice is made.
Out Of earth Is dawn, they see

They read the European Scroll

impotent conclusion.
With soul and heart attuned to
the exquisite rhythm of humanity
there comes to them the pathos of
Europe's penitential cry that not
