One grows bit weary Of hearing peo-
pie who are not students Of anything ex-
cept newspapers attributing the war to
any one of the innumerable ridiculous
causes put forth, or telling just what un-
just things are being done by the govern
ment, or just how the great problems of
the present crisis should be solved. I'm
less you have studied, really studied the
history and development of the warning
countries, unless you have followed every
possible intrigue, plot and counter-plot
for several years before the fatal shot in
Servia, unless you spend-as do the men
at the head of the various departments
of the government waking mo-
ment in concentrated study Of the issues
at stake, you are in no position to crit
icize and your opinion is absolutely value
less, difficult as it may be for you to be-
ieve this It is an American right to
express opinions (within bounds) but it
is often sign Of greater intelligence to
keep silence and not let people know how
weak an opinion it is. Just listen to the
other fellow as he talks on the street cor
ner and see if you don't agree with us.

NOT so NOBLE!

"Young America Responds Nobly," says
a newspaper headline over it's registration
story. Young America responded Tues
day through fear of prison sentence
staring it in the face. Seventyodd per
cent claimed exemption in the twin cities,
about so per cent around this community,
and like percentages around the state.
Where is the heroism in that? Does Young
America expect 25 or 80 per cent OF its
membership to fight its battles, while the

WHERE WE'RE THE MEN?

A NEW police court judge gave Dal-
II las, Texas, a surprise that almost
took the town back to New Testa-
ment days, and has left it thoughtful and
concerned
It is the duty of the police purity
SQUAD" of Dallas to round up derelict
women, and drag them into the pitiless
publicity of the police court for condemna-
tion and advice by the judge.
But new judge happened to sit on the
bench the other day, when bunch OF un-
fortunate women were herded before him.
Judge Bennett Hill took look at the
group, and his gaze wandered about the
room and then rested on the police who
had made the raid
Here are the women said the judge,
'but where are the men?"
The squad had no reply. So the judge
handed down new sort OF decision, and
it was hard to tell whether the accused
women or the arresting policemen were
the more astonished. He set the women
free, unpunished and unadvised, and he
told the squad never again to raid houses
and bring the women into court unless the
men found there were brought in too. 1t
was neither the spirit nor the letter of
the law, he added, to arrest one party to
crime and allow the other to go free

prospects ahead in either of the old

There are many live fellows around
the state who are being doomed and
boosted by their friends for various
offices. A cold analysis will show that
a public office is more often a curse
than blessing. A man in public life
has to give up too much of the really
worth while things. He too often has
to assume hypocritical air, and sub
merge his personality in a painful
pandering to votes. The man who
comes out Of public office with any
thing saved is rare bird. He is gen.
orally called upon to donate to every
thing that comes along, and the con-
sequence is that his funds are soon
dissipated. Who was it that first
prayed, Lord, deliver me from my
fool friends ?''-Fred Had,ey.

y SUGAR COMPANIES WILL
PAY EXCESS PROFIT TAXES

twenty-five sugar companies OF Ha-
wall will pay to the federal govern
ment taxes under the excess profits"
provisions of war revenue bin now be-
fore congress more than $4,00o.O00.
Last reports from Washington state
that the excess profit tax will likely
be SO rer cent. The % companies
are listed on the stock exchange and
do not include several close corpora
ton companies, whose stock can not
be bought and is not listed. II is es-
timated that the latter will bring the
aggregate to considerably more than
$4,000, 900.
Based on Earnings
These taxes are, Of course, in addi-
ton to the regular income tax on cor
poration earnings. The figures are
based on the companies earnings for
1916, but as the price of sugar has
been considerably higher this year
than last. with the crop about the
same, the total will probably consid
orably exceed the figures above men

ly 100000.
These excess profits taxes will be
paid out of the earnings that would
otherwise be distributed as dividends,
and this means that sugar company
dividends will be correspondingly re.
duced, which means that large pro-
portion Of the people of the islands are
directly affected, as sugar stocks are
widely held here. Also, the stock of
some companies is to large extent
held on the mainland, particularly IN
