Three Red Letters Tax.

Militarism in America means
q perpetual burden.
A big army and navy adds one
thousand million dollars to the load
we now carry.
One billion dollars is the war cry
Of the big lobby at Washington.
The government has already i'm
posed a war tax and still runs short
Of revenue.
The claim, "We must prepare to
fight Germany" is the armor plate
and powder trusts in sleeps cloth
ing.
IF We prepare for war whence
will come the added billion dollarsG
There is only one answer. Three
letters tell the tale. TAX. Who
viii pay the fiddlerf u.
We get stronger every day be-
cause Europe wears out and gets
weaker daily.
If Wall street and the rich want
q big army and navy, why not tax
the income of the rich to pay the
COST
If such a law is proposed there
will instantly be change OF
opinion in New York city.
President Wilson and both
political parties should keep within
due bounds.
We now pay $1,000 a minute to
feed the war lord in this country.

A HISTORIC HOUSE.
Where TyndaIe Started to Translate
the Bible Into English.

About two miles from the old mar
ket town of Chipping SodbHry, Eng
land, stands an old time house known
as Little Sodbury manor house, which,
quite apart from its celebrity as one
Of the oldest examples Of domestic ar
chitecture in Gloucestershires has been
Justly styled "the birthplace Of the
English Bible"
In one of the old rooms William
Tyndale, who lived there for two
years, conceived the idea and COM
menced the work of translatipg the
New Testament into English.
In 1921 Sir John Walsh, owner Of
the manor house, had need OF a chap
lain and tutor for his children, and his
choice fell upon Tyndale, who had
just completed his university career.
Tyndale was in great favor with his
master, who encouraged him in the
great work he had undertaken.
1t is quite possible that the transla-
tion would have been completed here,
but Tyndale, having expressed his opin-
ions too freely to the neighboring cler-
gy, found himself secretly charged
with heresy and summoned to appear
before the chancellor of the diocese.
Although at the timeN he was merely
admonished, he did not consider it
safe to continue in the manor house,
thereby involving his patron in dam
ger, so he left and proceeded with his
translation in London. Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

President Wilson with four pens con
ferred on $4,000 railway employees
