rHE REVENUE ouEsrIoN.

One fact which stands out strongly at the present time. when the admin fstration is hard put to secure reve- hue both for the purpose of making up for the treasury deficiency and for meeting the extraordinary reuEire- ments, and that is the disregard that is manifested for the opportunity to obtain a certain amount of relief through a revision of the tariff.
 The country has suffered seriously through the slashing that was given this revenue producing method at the hands of the democrats. Our imports are increasing and at the present time over II per cent. of them come in duty free There has nevertheless been a steady decline in the customs collected by this country since the Underwood bin went into effect, and today with a treasury deficit of $33. 400. 900 forecast ed at the end of the next fiscal year new direct taxes to the extent of $250,- 000, 900 and a bond issue for s2O0, 900, = poo are being urged to meet the ma tion's requirements.
 The retention of the old tariff rates might not have furnished the treasury with all that is required but the de- cline in the duties collected in the last three years has amounted to over s1O0, ,00o, 900 and that certainly would have been assistance which is not to be sneezed at. and it is far preferable that 1t should be secured through a taxation upon foreign made goods than 10 take it out of the pockets of the people of this country through federal taxes. The tariff doesn't agree with the democratic policy but it is a reve- nue producer as well as a business protector which ought not to be ig- n0red.

The Tramp Cat.

Mir. Editor: A pamphlet handed me on birds and cats aroused my inter est. Now that the bill on muZzling and licensing cats has been tabled am encouraged to venture a friendly word for the cat. Almost everyone likes the kitten. There are many peo- pie that do not understand the cat. Anything or nothing at all is good enough for the cat to feed on. It is domestic, so it loves it's home. It gives much faithfulness where little thought or care is given it. Anything in the line of food is considered good enough for the family cat. Consequently the petted kitten that could exist on a little milk is the big robust cat. It is not wanted now, so is neglected, not fed regular, left out nights to prowl and howl and disturb sleepers. Many of us sleep with our windows shut, so it is as bad now as in summer. Thoughtless and nasty, we condemn the cat It is the neglected cat that has made an enemy for it's kind with many otherwise kindly disposed peo- pie. Hunger and neglect forces him on the tramp. Years ago the refuse barrel helped out at meal time Sani- tary conditions now have stopped that since he cannot claw a hole in the galvanized can or remove the cover.

BIG BOATS, OR SMALL AND FAST
 ONES

Tn connection with the destruction of shipping by the German submarines, the suggestion has been made that some of the big passenger vessels which have been withdrawn from such service and tied up or used in other
 ways be placed in commission for the carrying of the cargoes which are needed by the allies. It is recognized
 that they could carry tremendous quantity of freight by utilizing their full capacity and that they would be of great value in meeting the existing situation.
 On ethe other hand it is also fully understood that such large vessels not only represent big investment in themselves but that they would be carrying cargoes of far greater value than the smaller vessels and the loss every time one of them is sunk is therefore stupendous. The big liners invariably possess speed but at the same time they furnish a big target and it would be easier to sight and tackle them than it would be many of the smaller craft.
 For that reason the suggestion has been advanced that increased atten- ton be given to the utilization of smaller vessels of greater speed. A fleet of those vessels would be able to handle the business and such boats would represent a far less loss in shipping and in value individually than the big ones do. The argument seenis to be based upon sound reason ing but the chief difficulty lies in get ting the immediate delivery of such ships. Had greater attention been given to it some months ago Great Britain might be in a better position to adopt the idea today.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Armenna's HeIpIessness.

It is easier to win help for lands like Belgium and Serbia which have been the battiefields of this war than for those remoter places like Armen- ia where the suffering is a by-pro- duct.
 Far away as she is from the main conflict, Armenia has suffered more in this war than any devastated land in Europe, says John Masefieid. She is like victim met by troops on the march and beaten and stabbed and left to die. There is nothing in her misery to make headline or bat tlecry. It is just dumb suffering ly- ing by the road.
 These people were not in the war. They were hard working, quiet Chris 'tian people too poor, too helpless and too mild to be enemies to anybody. One-third of the race are dead of massacre, starvation and pestflence and one-haf of the remainder are homeless and hopeless wanderers, dy- ing in exile, where nobody but the Americans can save them We can not, and our enemies will not. That they are alive at all is in great measure due to your countrymen.
 None but your countrymen can now save them from extinction.

Hereafter she will have some concep-. ton of the great truth that the strength of any nation, and it's safety and survival, depend not upon the number of palaces 1t contains, or the fortunes of it's millionaires, but on the well being of it's workers.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Announcement that the Warner Brothers company had equipped the first floor of the Seaside Institute with electrically driven sewing machines for use of the Bridgeport chapter of the National Red Cross. is received with qualification. No greater impe- tus could be given the campaign for 10 900 members than by this action. It shows the highest type of public spirit and a keen realization of the War menace now hanging oyer the nation. Bridgeport has never trailed incrises, and with this donation as a starting point, should show the way to the state fo6 the benefit of the country.-Bridgeport Telegram.
 Other nations have learned that the national food supplies are the first subject Of national concern. We re- fuse absolutely to gather anything from their stern experiences We do nothing to check or limit the exploi- tation of the people. We see that with cooperation we can have chea D food and the producer can have a liv- ing return for his toll; we reject CO., operation and cling to the system of waste and want. The time for every man for himself has passed on this earth. Every man for himself means that millions don't get enough and scores get too much, and when a national crisis comes, the overfed scores are no good and the underfed millions are still worse. As 1t was in England, for instance: England has had all she wants for every man for himself" She will not entertain that
