Forbes is doing wise thing in deciding to resign
one of his many public offices. Nearly everybody
knows that Forbes holds too many Offices, works too
hard and is forced TO scatter his attention too much
Il is not good for the efficiency of the public service
and he realizes it, A few years ago successful
effort was made to distribute some Of the duties OF
the superintendent among other departments be
cause the very same difficulty of too much concen-
tration of large tasks upon one man was recognized
That was before Mr.. Forbes came into office. He
had hardly been appointed when other jobs began

A DUBIOUS INDICTMENT

Bad neighbor that Prussia unques-
tionably is, she can hardly be expected
to burst into penitent sobs over Mr..
Lloyd Georges scathing accusation
that she has been taking one fair
field after another from weaker neigh
bors and adding them to her own do
minions."
There are unregenerated Prussians
who will at once ask where Great Bri-
tain got Canada and India and Gibral-
tar and Malta ana Egypt and South
Africa and her West Indian posses
sions and Hong Kong and various
other dominions beyond the sea. AL
these fair fields were taken from
weaker neighbors, and the worst that
can be said of Prussian imperialism
is that it very good imitation of &
British imperialism of which honest
Englishmen long ago became ashamed
And as far Great Britain's ally, Rus
STA, her whole history is one Ions
record of aggression against weaker
neighbors and confiscation of theil
fields.
The Prime Minister was not alto
gether happy in this particular in
dictment against the arch enemy o
his country. The case against Ger
many is strong enough without hypoc
risy. If nations are to be crushed be
cause they have robbed their weake
neighbors, none of US are saef.-Post

WELCOME TO Mr.. BRYAN

Raleigh is glad to give welcome to
William J. Bryan today, for he is a
man held in high esteem and in great
admiration in this city. Coming on
a visit to his daughter whose home is
in Raleigh the opportunity has been
given to have luncheon in his hon
or, this under the direction of the
Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.
Republicans, as well as Democrats,
can we'll do honor to Mr.. Bryan, for
while he is a Democrat who has rem
dered high service TO his party, YET
all Americans have had his service in
his fights against the interests in be-
half of the people. He is Demo.
crat deserving the appreciation OF
men in all parties.
In the recent presidential campaign
Mr.. Bryan proved tower of strength
to the Democratic party. He toured
the West and his speeches in behalf
of the reelection of President Will
son were of such power as to add tx
the Democratic vote. His course
and he did only what his friends knew
he would do-has been such as tt
confound his critics, who were nevel
so happy as when picturing Bryan
taking leave of President Wilson will
"God bless you" on his lips and |
knife behind his back. The paper
of the country which INDUCED in tina
sort of thing are due Mr.. Bryan a

Mr.. Bryan has visited Raleigh
number of times, and on those Occa
sions he has added to the number o
his personal friends. These are gla
that today they have opportunity o

PROPOSED NEW TAX BILL

Proposed bills to increase State
revenues and to create State Tax
Commission, to be introduced in the
forthcoming session of the Legisla-
ture, were received and discussed by
the Gardner conference on taxation
at the Planters Hotel in st. Louis
on last Thursday. This was the
second meeting of the conference
and it will be the last of the confer
ences to be held in st. Louis, before
the meeting of the Legislature. to
consider legislation which Gov.-elect
Frederick D. Gardner wishes to have
enacted.
The attendance at the conference
was smaller than at the other. Some
of the members of the committees APP
pointed to draft proposed bills were
unable to attend. James P. Boyd,
former Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, is chairman.
Secretary of State Roach, chair
man of the committee appointed to
draft the bill to create State tax
commission, presented a copy OF a
bill, the object of which was to Sc.
cure perfect equality in the matter OF
assessment of property. In explana
ton of his proposed bill, Roach sale
that if property was assessed equal
ly throughout the State, there would
be no duties for the State Board O.
Equalization to perform.
| As the Governor, Secretary o.
State, Auditor, Treasurer and Attor
ney General by the Constitution, con
stitute the Board of Equalization, it Ii
possible to create by statute ia,
commission with powers subsidiary t.
the board. The form of bill writer
by roach designated this body as tn
Missouri Commission on Economic
and Finance, with control over bot
the income and expenditures of tn
State. He proposed three member
of the Commission, leaving the mat
ter of salary to the Judgment of tn
conference, but suggested $4,000 o
$4,000 a year for each member. No
more than two members of the CON
mission shall be of the same politics
party.
Committees having charge of tn
mortgage tax, increase of saloon i
cense, pool room and soft drink tai
and other revenue raising bills al
thorized by the last conference wi
report tentative forms of their bill
during the session.

At least one of the independents has
conferred with Colonel Roosevelt over
the situation and will seek further adj
vice from him on how to proceed.
Conferences have proceeded quietly,
usually on the floor of the House.
Participants are disinclined to talk,
for both Democrats and Republicans
are eagerly seeking their favor as the
speakership situation daily becomes
more doubtful.
Representative Randall of Califor-
MIA, prohibitionist, indicated today,
however, the nature Of the immediate
plans.
eve are anxious that the rules be
amended so that the people may know
what their representatives are doing. y
he said. "The present system of vot-
ing in the committee of the whole
makes it possible for members fire..
quently to conceal their votes on very
important proposals"
The personnel of the coming House
still is in doubt. Both Speaker CLARK
and Republican Leader Mann declar.
ed today that their respective sides
would have at least 218 votes, a ma
jority, on the speakership.
eve will control the House unless
the Democrats buy it, and they are
trying to do that now" Representa-
tive Mann said.
Speaker Clark said the Democrats
already were assured of 216 Demo
cratic members and that he is certain
two more will be seated in pending
| contests.

The Witness
In the West

The retirement of Mr.. Bryan from
the chief post in the cabinet OF Pres
ident Wilson last year was hailed with
scarcely concealed glee by the Repub-
lican leaders and newspapers. The
Wilson administration was doomed,
they said. The passage of uncom-
monty cordial expression of regard
between the President and Mr.. Bryan
at the time of their official separation
excited only their jeers. Even from
those who should have known better
came intimations that the great Ne
braskan would turn upon Mr.. Wilson.
1t long ago became a Republican
maxim-almost an eastern maxim
that Mr.. Bryan is an INSCRIPTIONS
person. So the East resolved, 20 years
ago or so, in their opinion, he must
be. They have taught themselves
that sincerity, so far as W. j. Bryan
is concerned, is non-existent-and
that is one of tie reasons that they
were unprepared for what came to
pass a week ago.
Now the truth is that sincerity and
direct, forward going honesty of pur-
pose and action are the characters
tics that distinguish this western
gentleman. Perhaps he lacks the apt
itude for finesse, perhaps he is poor
to the quickness, the cunning, the
trained and swift adroitness of in
tellcct, that define political talent in
the East. Perhaps, for that reason,
in the East he is not understood. He
violates ten ancient rules of play. He
is not vengeful and angry when, to
the Eastern mind, he ought to be.
Hence he is inscrutable.
Hence, for the same reason, the
West is inscrutable.
The West knows Mr.. Bryan. The
West looks upon very human sort OF
man. of robust mind and not without
imperfections yet withal sincere, big
of purpose, who goes right on with
steps true to those larger principles
of righteousness and justice than men
learn as children. So the West I'M
derstands Bryan and to the West 1t
is not strange that, though out OF the
cabinet, he is Wilson's friend.
That Nebraska has voted for Will
son is no singular phenomenon in the
West. Nor does it call for explana-

JEWISH CHARITY FOR
JEWS-$3,00 100000 RAISED
FOR RELIEF IN ONE NIGHT

New York, Dec. 22.-Rabbi Leon
Harrison of Temple Israel, st. Louis,
and Senator Reed of Missouri, were

rally in Carnegie Hall last night.
About $3,000,000 was raised toward

in the war districts of Europe.
DR.. Judah L. Magnes, who as spe-
cial Investigator for the organizations
which purpose to raise the fund, went
! abroad and for several months studied
at first hand the conditions of his CO.
religionists in Poland, Lithuania and
Galicia, told of the great sufferings OF
Europe's noncombatants.

He told of $4,000 Jews in Warsaw
standing in line in front of soup
kitchens, dependent for subsistence
upon contributions from America; be
told of $4,000 who are fed daily n
Wilma, but of 5000 in that town who
must daily be turned away with emp
ty cups for lack of money.
One hundred thousand dollars IN a
lump sum was given by Jacob H.
Schiff of this city and Julius Rosen-
wald of Chicago. Fifty thousand dol
lars each was contributed by Nathan
Straus and Felix M. Warburg. Then
there were $4,000, $4,000, $4,000 a
plenty.
Before the contribution baskets were
passed through the audience individ-
uals had contributed $466,875. From
other cities had come cash of pledges
to the amount of $1,884,000.
There seemed frenzy of enthusa-
asm about the giving. The baskets,
carried through the house by young
women, came back filled to overflow
ing with bills and silver, checks and
envelopes upon which were write.
pledges. The poor Jew in the gallery,
moved to tears by the eloquent de-
scriptions he heard of the plight OF
his fellow-Jew in Poland, Lithuanis
and Galicia, then moved to cheers BY
the great donations of his richel
brethren, offered proportionately a.
