CATECHlSM FOR Will SON

Questions are cheap, so we may as
well ask few in order to keep in the
fashion. Ours are addressed to Candi-
date Woodrow Wilson. We should like
to know:
Why he favors appropriation of $50
900, 600 to make the revival of Ameri-
can shipping impossible-th the real rea-
son inside?
Why he first insisted on free sugar
and then compelled Congress to restore
the duties?
Whether he is still in favor of tariff
tor revenue only or has become of late
a half-hearted protectionist?
Why he signed the rivers and harbors
bill squandering 500, 900, 600 in pork?
Why he signed the nitrate plant steal,
Incorporating 500, 900, 900?
Why he signed the bill frittering
away SIS, 100000 out of $85, 900, 900 in
driblet appropriations for road improve
ment?
Why he signed the rural credits bill
involving the embarkation of $50, O0O,-
600 of government money in wildcat
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-08-10

scheme of imitation falsely demoninated
rural credits?
Why he backed away from his blatant
ly proclaimed policy of scuttle in the
Philippines?
Why he opposed during half his term
all military and naval preparedness?
Why he first Endorsed Secretary
Garrison's army reorganization plan
and then stopped over to Hays inef-
fectual and wasteful militia scheme?
Why be keeps Daniels in the Cabinet?
Why he made Bryan Secretary of
State?
And why he kicked him out?
Why he spoke of ''strict accountable
ity" when he had no intention of en-
forcing it and no idea of creating a
force that would animate the words
with real meaning?
What is he doing now about the
Lusitania?
Whether Austria has eyer given a
satisfactory explanation regarding the
Petrolite?
And whether he is putting any pres
sure on the Berlin and Vienna Govern
ments to secure amends for the out
RACES committed upon Americans on
the high seas by their orders?
If not, why not?
Why he interviewed in Mexican af-
fairs to GUST Hureta?
Why he thought Pancho Villa was a
good man to support for a while?
Why he interviewed to establish the
Government of Carranza?
Whether he reg ards the regime of
Carranza a success?
Why he went in at Vera Cruz?
Why he came out?
Why he sent General Pershing's ex-
petition across the border?
Why he is now laying plans to with
draw it surreptitiously?
Why he sent the national guardsmen
to Texas?
Was it really to give them three
months training with the colors?
What does he usually desire his record
to rest on-his thought or his after
thought?
Why has not the cost of living drop
ped during his term as President as he
and his party vociferously insisted it
would?
Does he know how the dictionary de-
fines the word, ''ineptitude?"
And "vacillation"?
And "charatan"?

WHAT WOULD you DO?"

The long recital of old Mexican his
tory leads to nothing. The woes of the
martyred Huerta, the mistakes and al
legged mistakes of Mr.. Wilson; what
does~sll this ancient tale amount to?
What will you do, Mr.. Hughes, if you
are elected? What do you propuse?-
From the New York Times.
The naive way in which these ques-
tons are asked would lead one to sup
pose that in the next four years there
will be nothing for the President to do
except to concern himself with Mr.. Will
sons mistakes.
Suppose it is conceded that Mr..
Huges as President could find no way
out of the Mexican ENHANCEMENT that
President Wilson has led the country
into. Is that an argument for giving
Mr.. Wilson further lease of power, put
ting in his hands other problems, per-
haps more serious, to mismanage?
An architect who had botched his
clients house beyond possibility of
mending could easily stump him by ask
ing what he purposed to do about it.
His client might say there was nothing
to do but make the best of bad bar
gain; but if the mere fact that he was
LETT in this unenviable plight were pre-
sented as reason for employment of
the same man on another house the
logic of the proposition might appeal to
his vein of humor but hardly to his bQsi-
ness sense and judgment.

BOTH SIDES GUILTY.

The world will hardly become ex-
cited over British exception of the
murder" of Capt. Fryatt by the Ger
man military authorities in view of the
execution of Roger Easement. If one
was entitled to be treated as a prisoner
or war, so was the other. One was
called by his executioners pirate and
the other was called traitor. 1t suit
ed the eXecutioners in each case to
snuff out human life that could not
possibly have injured them if it had
been spared
Americans are sick of having one
side or the other in the European war
trying to work up prejudice and hatred
while committing acts just as offensive
as those charged against the enemy.
IA plague on both your houses!" cries
the disguised neutral; ''clean the blood
off your own hands before you raise
them in holy horror at the acts perpe-
trated by your enemy. Do not try to
Justify your murders by calling your
enemy murderer. Do not pose to us
as an injured party when you are max
ing reprisals that shock mankind"
A deplorable effect of the European
hypocrisy is to harden neutral hearts
against real suffering. So many lies
are told that neutrals become skeptlcal
and are inclined to close their ears to
true reports.

GERMANS ATTACK
 ON BRITISH COAST
ONE PERSON KILLED AND SIX IN- JURED-oNE AERoPLANE CON-
 QUOTED FIRST RAID.

London.-The east coast of Kent was raided twice by hostile aero- planes, which dropped bombs. One person was killed and six injured. One aeroplane conducted the first raid.
 second attack, this time by two hostile aeroplanes, was made No casualties have been reported. The raiders escaped.
 An official account of the raid fol- lows:
 "The war office announces that, talk ing advantage of the bright moonlight, a hostile aeroplane visited the east coast of Kent After dropping nine bombs in rapid succession it made off seaward.
 .'No naval or military damage was done, but there was some damage 10 private property.
 "Ineendiary bombs caused fires, which were extinguished.
 .4The following casualties occurred: One man killed. two men, one woman and three children slightly injured
 The war office announcement con corning the second attack says:
 Following the aerial attack on the east coast of Kent, two hostile aero planes made a second attack upon the same locality.
 After coming under a heavy fire, the raiders disappeared, pursued by our naval and military machines.
 dov no casualties have been reported"
 The County of Kent is in the south eastern portion of England, south of the Thames. In includes part of the City of London, but the official state ment indicates that the aeroplane did not reach the city. The point nearest London on the eastern coast of Kent is 50 miles from the city
 A point of interest is the statement that the raid was made by an aero plan. Heretofore Germany has re- lied principally on Zepelins for aerial attacks on England. Of late, however, there has been much discussion m England of new type of German aeroplane, the Fokker, which has been said to excel the allied aircraft Eng fish newspapers stated that the Brit ish air machines were empowered and outengined.
 Harold J. Remnant, parliamentary undersecretary for war replied to this criticism in the House of Commons, asserting that the Fokker was well adapted to defensive operations, but was incapable of long flights.

MILITARY SERVICE BILL PASSES ITS SECOND READlNG-WlLE
 AFFECT INDUSTRY.
URGES ADOPTION OF MEASURE
Lord Lansdowne Admitted That the Weakening of Industrial Army ob- viously Affected Great Britain's
 Financial Strength.

London.-The military service bill passed it's second reading In the House of Lords after a speech made by the marquis of Lansdowne, minis ter without portfolio in the British cabinet, dwelling on the necessity of enaeting the measure.
 Dealing with it's effect on industry, Lord Lansdowne admitted that the weakening of the industrial army ob- yiously affected Great Britains finan- cial position, but he was quite op- posed to any suggestion that Great Britain might have been content with supplying great navy and munitions of war to her allies besides placing Great Britain's credit at their dis posal.
 eff we had taken that line when the war broke out" the marquis said, "of course the war would have been vsry different from what it has been, and our confidence in the success of the operations which we hope to renew in the spring would have been much less than it is at present. It is distinctly for the interests of our industry and finance that we should not only emerge victorious, but that the con- clusion of the struggle should not be too long delayed"

AN AMENDMENT n
 PHILIPPINE BILL
TIME FOR RETIREMENT AFTER NEW FILIPINO LEGISLATURE
 WILL BE FIXED.
PLAN APPROVED BY wIls son
Senator Sutherland Prophesied |. Would Mean lnsurrection if the President Failed to Establish
 Self-Government.

Washington.-An amendment to +ho Philippine bill, said to be acceptabla to President Wilson, was subm,ttoa by Chairman Hitchcock of the pbilin pine committee.
 It would provide that not more tbon four years nor less than two years of ter the meeting of the new Filipino Legislature to be created bv tbo pending bill, the president sbonld withdraw the sovereignty of fba United States and proclaim the inde. pendence of the Filipino people, pro. vided he should find that proper stems had been taken to secure by peaeeful means an independent Philippine gov. ernment republican in form, stable in character" and prepared to enter into such binding agreements with ina United States as the president may deem necessary for the protection of recognized rights and interests of Americans and other nationals in the islands. The president would be em. powered to reserve naval bases. coal. ing stations and other property re- quired by the United States for mili- tary purposes.
 The amendment would further pro. vide that, if at any time before the ex. piration of four years, the president should find that proper steps had not been taken to establish an independ. ent government, Cor if he should find 1t expedient for reasons affecting the welfare of the Filipinos themselves, or the international relations of the United States" or if he should be un- able to negotiate agreements for pro- lection of American property, the president would be authorized to de. lay recognition of Philippine independ- ence until the American Congress should further consider the case.
 The amendment also would author. ize the president to invite co-opera. tion of the principal nations of the world to mutually pledge themselves to maintain the Philippine independ- ence against any external force, That failing, the president would guarantee independence on behalf of the United States alone for five years.
 The amendment was attacked by Republican senators. After arousing the hopes of the people, Senator Suth- erland prophesied it would mean in, surrection and bloodshed if the presi- dent failed to establish self-govern- ment.
 Senator Jones urged that the United States retire without entangle- ments when the proper time came to leave the islands.

INCOME TAX UPHELD
 BY SUPREME COURT
CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE HELD TAX IS NOT UNcoNSTITu.
 TIONAL.

Washington.-Th Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the in- come tax law
 Chief Justice White announced the decision in the case of Frank R. Bur- shaber, stockholder of the Union Pa, cific railroad, who sought to enjoin the company from paying the tax on the ground that it was unconstitu- tional
 Most of Justice Whites opinion was taken up in declaring without merit the contention that the income tax amendment provided a hitherto unknown power of taxation. He held the tax is not unconstitutional because it is retroactive.
 The argument that the law is uncon- stitutional because labor, agricultur- al and such organizations are exempt, the chief justice held, is answered by decisions under the corporation tax law. He said the tax is imposed un- der power recognized to exist from the beginning of the government and thus decisions defining the taxing power previously rendered are appli- cable.
 Grouping other contentious against the law, all based on the clause of the constitution requiring uniformity in taxation, Chief Justice White pro, nouneed them all lacking ll merit be- cause of previous decisions which de- termined the clause exacts only a geo. graphical uniformity
 The group included the contentious that the law lacks uniformity be- cause it:
 Levies one tax on incomes of indi- viduaIs up to $20000 and a higher rate on incomes above that amount, allows a greater exemption for mar ried persons than single ones and bases the tax on wealth alone;
 Because it requires corporations, at great expense, to perform the govern ment's work without compensation, of collecting at the source;
 Because individuals are allowed to deduct from gross income dividends paid them by corporations, but corpo- rations are not allowed to make such deductions.
 Because individuals whose income is less than s2O,OO0 are allowed to de- duct s3,GO0 or s4O0O, but those receiv- ing more than s20,000 not allowed to make such deductions second time for the additional tax;
 Because greater deductions are al- lowed man and wife living together than those living separately;
 Because owners of houses in which they live are not compelled to estimate the rental value in making up their in- houses and paying rent are not allow ed to deduct rent.
