Will They Stand the Test

Americans who have made their homes in
England are about to have the final test applied
to their devotion to one or the other of the
countries as place in which to live. The Eng
iish government has determined to levy an addi-
tlonal tax Of 10 per cent on all Americans domi-
ciled tn Great Britain, applying to such Of their
income as 10 derived from American securities.
To avoid this mpost the American may deposit
his Yankee dollar securities with the British
government and get In return credit in pounds
shillings and pence. This goes for all he has
whether In England or America. He will be
paid the interest, but not in l00-cent American
dollars but In the sadly deprecated pound sterl-
ing. His alternative Is to come back to the
United States and spend his time among the
common people. II he wants to rub shoulders
with the nobility he must pay for the privilege,
for Johnny Bull Is determined to bring his money
back to par with Uncle Sans II he can, and
doesn't now see any more pleasant way Of doing
it than by making the Yankees pay for the
process

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Boston Globe: Now that the Methodists
are to raise . $40 100000 pension fund for
retired ministers, following the lead Of the
Episcopalians in raising 100000 for the
same purpose. will there be an increase in
the number Of the students entering the
divinity schools7
Springfield Republican: The Presbyterian
general assembly has hardly made progress
toward the rehabilitation Of the Sabbath BY
adopting a resolution urging colleges and
schools to abolish Monday morning sessions.
The purpose is to relieve students Of the
necessity of preparing lessons on Sunday,
but its effect would probably be to add to
the students opportunities for Sabbath rec
reation. II the Presbyterans can change
the attitude of Americans toward the Sab
bath. questions about proper recreation and
proper work will take care of themselves.

Bishop Lawrence made this announcement at

easements Is necessary for q thoroughly
sound pension system. The 5000 clergy Of
the church require the church pension fund
reserve to be at least s6.ooo.0o0. The cam
paien to raise this amount, which was Or
ganiIed on January Of this year. will close
on March !. 1917. On that day the entire
100000 must be subscribed and the PEN
sion system will start. The whole church
therefore regards with satisfaction the com.
pletion Of half this sum.

Hughes for President.

The choice OF Charles Evans Hughes by the
republican convention as candidate for president
of the United States had been so convncingly
foreshadowed that no surprise is felt at the out
come From the time his name was suggested
the drift of sentiment toward him was steady,
and in the final weeks before the meeting of the
convention it was irresistible. None OF the as
pirants for ths Office was able to make any ap-
preciable Roadway against the continually grow
ing demand Of the party for Hughes. While the
nominee at no time took any action that might
be construed as even remotely seeking the Office
he would be more than human were he not sensi-
Bile Of the expression Of faith in his character and
confidence in his ability shown by the request
from his fellow citizens that he become candi-
date for the presidency. The final ballot in the
convention set It's seal Of full approval on the
choice Of the voters.
Mr.. Hughes will go before the electroate with
record Of service that is notable. As member
Of the New York legislature, and as governor Of
New York. he was energetic in the work Of bet
tering the government Of the Empire state, and
showed then untiring zeal and energy and
splendid capacity for dealing with public affairs.
His years on the supreme bench have served to
ripcn his intellect and mature his judgment and
to more fully prepare him for the great work
that Is before him. His unblemished character
and unusual mentality will qualify him in every
regard as an ideal candidate for president
His personality will appeal not alone to the
republicans. who will be solid behind him, but to
democrats who are weary of the mistakes and
chickering's Of their incapable leaders, and to the
far greater proportion Of the progressves, who

Mr.. Bryan a. q Pacifist.

William Jennings Bryan is wholly devoted to
peace on earth, no matter how II be attained,
He does not go quite so far In the matter Of
good will to men, at least not on all occasions.
Yet at the Chicago conventions Mr.. Bryan fnds
his delight not In the sober and orderly pro.
ceedinss Of the republicans. who met with dis
tnct purpose and decent determination to
carry that purpose into action. These men he
characterized as cold and lacking in enthusiasm,
and turned for his comfort to the Auditorium.
where the fiery bull moosers paved and snorted
in rarnpageous effort When "vic" Murdoch or
some similarly gifted orator raises whoop of
defiance, Mr.. Bryan finds in it occasion for de-
light, although II means anything but peace. 1t
may be that now, a. four years ago, Mr.. Bryan
Is absorbing In Chicago Inspiration for the course
he expects to adopt when the democrats get to-
gether, but he is making mighty poor record
for himself as pacihst by demanding continual
disorder m sign Of earnest intention.
