Meaner Than The Kaiser

Senator La Toilette, who has been
an active leader in every fight in be-
half of the people for twenty years,
has never stood for a better cause
than the one for which he and Sena-
tor Johnson of California are now
fighting. They are making a determ-
med effort to force those who are
growing rich out of the war to pay
just proportion of the taxes required
to carry it on. In this they are meet
ing the most vigorous opposition from
the war lords, munitiOn vendors and
manufacturers of war supplies.
1t is strange that there should be so
many men in the United States Sen
ate who are tender of the profits of
the steel trusts, powder trusts, and
other contractors who are making
fabulous fortunes every year out of
the war and who at the same time
show so little consideration for the
interests of the people. They vote to
draft the young man, take him out of
and possibly completely ruin his bust
ness, and perhaps also destroy his
health or life, but when they are ask
ed to take a large part of the excess
profits rsulting directly from the war
for the support of. the government
they refuse because they say it will
hurt business.
The LaFollette and Johnson plan is
a fair one. They propose to exempt
from the new tax an amount to the
average profits made for three years
before the war, and in any event six
per cent. on the capital invested, and
then place the heavy tax on the re-
mainder. The burden is to be put only
on the excess profits made out of the
war. Yet this equitable scheme is re-
sisted vehemently.
Those men who have been such ar
dent advocates of war and who are
now growing rich out of it want our
youth to risk their lives on the battle
fields of Europe for the benefit of
these mems businss and then they ex-
pect Congress to levy burdensome
taxes upon those who are left at home
to pay the bills.
We have no sympathy for the Kai-
ser. We believe him TO be war mad
and 'crazed by a desire for military
renown, but he cannot be as unspeak-
ably mean and contemplate as are
| the men IN this country who, while
amassing millions out of the blood of
their fellow citizens, resist payment
of just share of their war profits to
support the governments lina

An After-War Attack by Germany.
Truth slips out sometimes even
from prejudiced sources. After the

of the discredit low tariff idea, the
great German dye trust formed by a
combination of the seven German dye
manufacturing companies, will try to
regain their lost market in the Unit

Benefited by Girls Plan
1t has remained for a number of
Seattle girls to discover the good of
profanity At least they ahve turned
profanity into good, or have found
a way to make it serve a useful pur-
pose, and at the same time are doing
something to discourage it.
1t is this way: The girls have
start Profanity Fund" the money
to be used in buying comforts and
luxuries for the soldier boys. The
fund is supplied by those who use
profanity Every time any of the en-
ployees of the big establishment
where the girl works uses an oath,
he is fined, and the money goes into
the Profanity Fund" The fine var
les from one cent to a nickel, depend
ing upon the frightfulness" of the
word which is considered profane,
and so far no one who has been sub
jected to the fine has refused to pay.
The girls are having a lot of fun,
and the resources of the organization
are growing. The members of the firm
have entered into the spirit of the
thing, and are assisting the girls.
They say they are going to put an
end to profanity or bankrupt every
body in their employ. But some of

Hoover undoubtedly is the right
man in the right place. His worth, in
tegrity and zeal are known quantities.
His appointment is a credit to Presi-

body do all he can, all she can, to
help Hoover help humanity. Those

CHILDISH MODES.
How to Gown the Little Girl In
the Summer Time.

Many of the style ideas for the elders
fit into childish requirements very ef-
fectively, and modish materials and
colorings appeal to the maker of chill
dren's clothes, although, of course,
many Of the loveliest stuffs are totally
inappropriate for young folk.
For the very small girls white is the
accepted thing, and perhaps there is
no great variety or novelty within the
necessarily circumscribed limitations,
but as soon as the little lady graduates
into colors her wardrobe begins to Of
fer more variety, If not greater dainti-
ness.
There are mothers who dress their
daughters entirely in white even be-
yond the years of babybood-white
pique, white linen, white wool, white
lawn, batiste and mull-and the fad is
a pretty one, but impractical for any
whose purse is not well filled.
Practical little dresses in serviceable
pique and linen are appearing In an al
most inexhaustible supply, and many
of them attain a certain dressy air, the
style being in their hue and fineness of
their details, for simplicity Is the
watchword here as elsewhere in the
sphere Of tasteful child clothing.
Many Of these frocks Of linen or
pique are made on straight lines, hav-
ing a narrow belt Of the material or
patent leather, fitting the figure loosely
and placed at a low waist line. There
are also many frocks made On the one
piece Russian lines.
Semimilitary effects in embroidery
and buttons, such as have been used
for certain smart blouses designed for
grownups, are introduced with excel
lent effect down the fronts Of some lit
tie one piece frocks in white pique or
heavy white linen, and pretty Jumpers
of linen or pique have front embroid-
cred panels.
The Eton jacket or bolero model is
always more or less q favorite idea
with designers of children's garments,
and this spring there are many frocks
for the small girl as well as for older
folks made with jaunty short bolero.
The little maid must have her barrel
pockets, like everybody else. An at
tractive flapper coat from Lanvin is
made of blue serge cloth, with over
collar and revers Of white faille matt
nee silk, stitched in rows with blue
sewing silk matching the blue serge
cloth. The belt buttons at either side,
and below the buttons hang the huge
barrel pockets, which stand well out
from the coat and give smart bulging
line.

THE WooDPEcKER.

The woodpecker bores right through
the bark Of trees to get at the bugs
that otherwise might injure them. You
have often admired doubtless the gay
little crest on the woodpecker's beak.
He is not only a faithful worker, but
handsome fellow.
There is a story about the wood
pecker that may please you.
The first woodpecker, according to
the fairy stories, had some gifts that
other woodpeckers seem to have lost.
For instance, he could talk with man.
He wished very much to be friendly
with the human race.
1t happened that near the home of
the woodpecker there lived a fierce
wizard. His castle was In the middle
Of q big black swamp, and whenever
he walked abroad his breath poisoned
every one whom he CHANGED to meet.
Many brave men went out to meet
the wizard, but no one was able to
fight against him. Whenever q stran-
ger came along the wizard would blow
his poisoned breath and kill him.
One day a knight, a very brave sol
dier, began to fight the wicked old wiz
ard. He shot once, he shot twice, but
still his arrows failed to do harm. The
wizard hooted and laughed at the
knights poor craftsmanship. The ar
rows glanced Off the wizards skin as If
it were steel.
At last the knight had only three ar
rows left. He had vainly sent several
dozen at the wizard. He was almost
ready to give up, which would have
meant his death, for the bad wizard
would then have certainly killed him.
Suddenly a wee small voice called
down to the knight: "His heart Is too
hard to pierce. Shoot your arrows at
bis forehead"
The knight looked up, and, 10, 1t was
the friendly woodpecker who had spo-
ken.
After thanking the bird the knight
fitted an arrow to his bow and sent 1t
straight at the wizards head. 1t cash.
ed the flesh, and the blood began to
flow. A second time the knight shot,
and the arrow went still deeper. At
the third shot the wizard fell dead.
Then the knight called the little
woodpecker down from the tree. A
drop Of blood from the wizards fore
head fell upon his feathers-right on
top Of his head. 1t was magic blood,
and ever since all birds Of his family
have had red head feathers.

How to Make Three Useful Articles For
Sailors.
The word has gone forth that a warm
sailor is better than q cold one. This
is no sentimental catch phrase; 1t is a
literal physiological fact. A warm
sailor can work and fight with a stead
Ter nerve, with an increased physical
efficiency, with a higher courage, for
the effect of warmth is to stimulate.
Now, then, what can you, as a wo-
man, do about it? You, a woman with
a pair Of knitting needles, can keep at
least one sailor warm. And remember,
the sailor that you keep warm is going
to be a better defender of your flag

ABOUT ROSES.
The Soils and Fertilizers That
Best Suit Free Bloomers.

Prepared by the U. 8. department
of agriculture.
THE roses classed in the
l. lawn and border group
are adapted to a wide range OF
soil conditions and may be count
ed on to succeed in any but eX-
tremely heavy or very sandy
soils. Many Of them will do well
even on such soil types. The
principal essentials are thorough
drainage and a plentiful supply
Of organic matter, with rea-
sonably constant water supply
during the growing season. In
general, a soil capable Of grow
ing good garden or field crops is
suitable for roses. The deeper
the soil and the better the prep
aration at the beginning the
more satisfactory will be the re-
suits.
The best fertilizer for roses is
rotted cow manure, though any
other well rotted manure or
good compost will serve the pur-
pose. Fresh manure, especially
horse manure, should be avoid
ed, though If no other manure
is available it may be used with
extreme care. 1t must not come
In direct contact with the roots
when planting, nor should any
quantity Of it be used immedi-
ately beneath the plant to cut
off direct connection with the
subsoil and the water supply.
OF the commercial fertilizers
ground bone is excellent as addi-
donal food. 1t will not, how
ever, answer as a substitute for
an abundant supply Of compost.
Cottonseed meal, where it is
cheap enough, may be used as a
substitute for bone. Wood ashes
are sometimes a helpful addi-
ton, or when they are not avail
able lime and muriate Of potash
may be used and should be ap-
piled separately. Rose growers
having only sandy soils should
make more frequent applications
Of manure than those dealing
with the heavier soils, since the
organic matter burns out more
rapidly In a soil rich In sand.
