SENATE STILL TRYING ID GET REVENUE BILL
 ON WAY ID PASSAGE

WASHINGTON, 5uhe zS.-With re- vision of the war tax bill virtually completed and now totaling S1,449,- 100000, against the $1,80O,OO0,0OO levy of increased taxes adopted by the house, the senate finance committee today considered other matters.
 Senator Stone formally proposed a bond issue of $5OO,OOO,OOO. The com mittee plans to reach a decision to- morrow and to fix the rate to be i'm posed on war excess profits, probably Is per cent. During lengthy commit tee discussion of the bond question a larger issue was not suggested, al though with S5OO,OOO,OOO bonds Sena- tor Cummins said the bill still would fall short by $3OO,OOO,OOO and prob ably more of meeting the ensuing years war expense. From excess profits the committee now plans, un- der it's latest estimates to raise $3OO,- OOO,OOO.
 An amendment adopted today would exempt from the tax individuals, per sons in office or employment, including that of a commercial traveller or agent whose remuneration consists wholly of fixed and definite sum irrespective of the amount of business done or any other contingency, and a profes- sion the profits of which depend main ly on the personal qualifications of the individuals, and in which there is not required the investment of more than nominal capital.
 Manufacturers and their represen- L ives generally are opposing repeal proposed by the committee of the drawback by which they receive from the government virtually all duties naid on raw materials which enter in- to manufactured products which later l are exported. In such cases the gov 1 eynment retains 1 per cent of the duty paid as an administration charge.
 Earl D. Bapst, president of the Am erjcan Sugar Refining company, said the repeal of the drawback would be shock to business men.

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY

an age charged with being selfish, sordld ana com
 mercial there has grown up and developed the great est organization for unsefsh service the world has ever seen-he American Red Cross. The growth ot the Red Cross society is evidence not to be cOnovered that the spirit of service strong the hearts of the people of today The work of the society demonstrates that there are thousands who willing to devote their seVceS to humanity and the support given them by voluntary con trbutions shows that there hundreds of thousands more who are willing to devote portion of their means to the allevation of suffering.
 The activities of the Red Cross always have been gen. erousy supported by the American pubc but only since "our own soldiers began to take place in the trenches alongside allies has this support become bounttu It is the suffering and comfort Of the men from our own neighborhoods as well the physical needs of our allies for which the Red Cross must now mobilize The result
 greater and more imperative duty now contronts the giverS in America.
 No appeal to the generosity of the American people has ever been unanswered Let part of the world be visited by calamity like the Mount Peee and Italian earthquake China flOodS the JOhnstOwn fOOd the San Francisco earthquake any greater lesser calamity and the response from the nation immediate and gener OuS to degree The services of the American Red Cross society to both sides the BOer and in other wars was liberal and sacrificing. FreSher Tn our minds IS the work the American unit has been doing Europe In the last three years especially the relief given the Belgian population.
 To meet this new and greatly enlarged demand-this demand that has the added force of patriotism and duty we owe our own SOlderS-there has been campaign to raise S100O0000 for the Red Cross work The campaign has been conducted with vgor and earneStnesS that in sured success It participated in by all classes of Americans from the president of the nation down to the smallest boy scout and the of the nation were par ticularly active
 Every week should be Red Cross week with those who are able contribute to the work of this greatest agency of mercy Its work is pressing and will continue long
 time It needs continued support and will not appeal III vain to people as generous the American nation.

President Wilson made two determined and energetic efforts to have press censorship clause attached to the espionage measure but both futile He made 1t plain that his advisers were convinced that modified restrc ton of army news was an absolute necessity and he told congress that those his convictions The executive tried as consistently to have the censorship provision made

 His action in this case will be applauded by the American people, for the acceptance of defeat in the right spirit is one the best tests of greatness any msstep of the press-that part of which the president afraid to trust-should lead to misfortune to either the army the responsibility for the disaster will rest Champ Clark prodded by Hearst was of the chief opponents of the censorship and those men held in less esteem than the nations chief

Would Wa-Keeney people recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do
if the medicine were not reliable
Would they confirm their statements
after years have elapsed if their ex-
periences did not show the remedy to
be deserving of it? Statements like
the following must carry conviction
to the mind of every reader:
]. H. Poffenberger, proprietor of
barber shop, Wa-Keeney, Kansas,
says: 81 got two boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills at w. W. Gibson's Drug
Store and they stopped the dull ache
and soreness in the small of my back,
which had annoyed me- for several
months. Doan's also regulated my
kidneys. I was astonished at the
good results, as other medicines had
tried had done me no good"
