WE CAN
PAY The BILLS.

One of the most satisfactory things
about our preparedness program is the
case with which the nation can pay
for 1t. Our navy bill next year is ex-
pected to be S240,OO0.OO0, nearly $780,.
100000 more than ever before. Army
expenditures are uncertain. but the
usual army bill of recent years is like
ly TO he doubled, or more than doubled.
Our governments war expenses"
alone, not counting our big pension
budget, will probably amount to $50 or
more per family. And yet, apparently,
this big expense will be taken care OF
rather easily.
Business has improved SO that. il is
estimated, the present tax laws
which have not proved burdensome-
will bring in 10000, 900 more than last
year from customs, internal revenue
and incomes. Only $15O,00O,OOO or so
" Will have to be raised by new methods,
and that Is TO be obtained by new
levies on inheritances, munitions and
certain classes of income taxes. none
OF which should be seriously felt by
any class of citizens.

GAINING AN

Cleveland rises to remark that Ger.
many, Holland and England, in turning
the hands Of the clock ahead for an
hour, are behind the times. Cleveland
did that two years ago.
Cleveland, however, made the
change to last the whole year round
instead Of only for the summer
months. And It did so by a very sim.
pie device. It's standard time" had
been the central" used by railroads
throughout the middle west The city
decided to adopt eastern time" which
Is one hour faster. The city council
passed IN ordinance to that effect, and
then enc night when Cleveland citizeLs

ahead one hour-and that was all
.there was to It.
AS result, they found that they

Gain In outdoor sports and gardening.
Dali games were over earlier. Even.

could be read by daylight. Less money
was spent for illumination. Health
improved, and people felt that they
hay more leisure.

WILSON
WITH HYPOCRISY

New York. Dec. .23-George w.
Perkins issued statement today In
which he, declares President Wilson's
note OF yesterday breathes hypocrisy
and Secretary Lansing's statement
breathes Incompetence. Perkins
statement follows:
ANY schoolboy ought to have
enough intelligence and patriotism to
blush with shame at their actions. :"
the statement said. I'm the first
place. the presidents letter was
weak and pointless and offered a
gratuitous insult to the allies when
he said each side desires to make
the rights and privileges OF weak
peoples and smaller states secure.
The letter bears every indication of
having been written for the sole pur-
pose of 'butting into the situation.
No wonder London prevented the
publication OF the note on its receipt.
when l read the statement Lam
sing issued at noon yesterday, !
could scarcely believe my eyes. 1t
bears all earmarks Of q man who Is
ratified and incompetent. Within
six or eight hours he practically took
back his first statement by issuing a
second one. Imagine our secretary
OF state saying to the entire civilized
world that he did not realize the
meaning of the words he had used
to an important pronunciamento un-
til the meaning was pointed out to
him by others,
"Mr. Wilson's note breathes hy-
pocrisy. Mr.. Lansing's statements
breath incompetency. Imagine the
U. 8. standing before the world at
this great hour Of peril and crisis,
represented by two such men. Sure
ly our cup OF humiliation is full to
overflowing."
