Sherman.
Senator Charles s. Thomas told me
that Senator Sherman is one OF the
biggest men and most brilliant speak
ers in the u. s. Senate and he add
Ell. He Is game and has the nerve
TO say and do what he thinks is
right without regard 10 what the pec-
pie think or the newspapers say"
This was interesting in light OF
some remarks Mr.. Sherman had pre-
viously made TO me about the press.
He said as a rule the country press
was fair and usually nearly right.
but that nearly always when the big
city papers began to lanabast a man
in public life and to try TO run con-
gross the big city papers were wrong.
He said the editorial writers on the
big city papers were usually ignorant
and unfair and often absolutely wrong
in handling congressional matters
and that the boys on the jobs here in
the press galleries were usually right
in their reports and often know more
than the managing editors of the big
papers about the countries needs and
Congressional matters.
Mr.. sherman told an interesting
experience with the big city papers
power in his earlier public life. When
he was a Young man he was running
for the legislature in Illinois. His
course in previous legislature lad
offended the Chicago papers. Mr..
Joseph Medill who edited the old
Chicago Tribune endeavor i TO bring
about his defeat. The Tribune ran a
bitter attack on Mr.. Sherman in
double-leaded black-face type on the
front page and copies were sent to
every voter in Mr., Sherman's district.
Mr.. sherman was elected. Later he
met Mr.. Joseph Medill in Chicago
Mr.. Medili was a stately old gentle
man, hard. OF hearing and used an
old fashioned ear trumpet He spoke
in high pitched voice. When intro
duced to Mr.. Sherman Mr.. Medln
said. We'll. young man how did you
ever happen TO be elected with The
Tribune against youg'' Mr.. Sherman
said he yelled in his hearing horn:
Il took that double-leaded black
faced editorial from The Tribune to
every platform in my district and told
my people that il was q damned lie
and they believed me-" After q slight
hesitation Mr.. Medill smiled and ever
after that was warm friend and sup
porter OF Mr.. Sherman as long as he
lived. G. u. II.

As ! sat here in the Press gallery
this morning and listened TO the de-
bate in the House on the revenue bill
a little story came back to me that
I heard somewhere. years ago. 1t
ran something like this: Two good
friends sat together in the little old
popular American game. Both had
drawn good hands. There was no
limit on the game. Each raised the
other successfully several times.
Stakes were running high. Both were
confident. Finally, one chap said.
.Ill raise You ten million dollars. Z"
The other laid down his cards, push
ed the stuff across the table and said.
Take the pot, you educated son-of-
a-gun. don't know the language you
are talking"
And SO il seems with most OF the
House The administration has pro-
posed revenue bill that will tax the
people OF this country Two Billion
Dollars $4,000. 900, ,00o) a year-and
this IL in addition TO the necessary
tax for the year Of about $I,5o0. .000.-
00o.
Try TO realize, If you can. what Two
Billion Dollars amounts to. Set down
in figures $1.00o.0Oo. That is a sum
that most of us have not The slightest
conception OF. But We can write 1t
down. Now multiply that by 1000
II you don't get mixed up somwhere
you win get for your answer Two Bill
lion Dollars.
Even congressman who have be-
come accustomed TO big figures IN
-ecent years sit around dazed. They
do not comprehend the vast sum
much better than soI do When you
get into the Billions most people are
lost. You can add few millions here
and hundred million there. and =
few hundred million somewhere else
and IL won't be noticed much in the
Grand total IL II like spending
nickeis at a street :air. Let her go
Gallagher-who cares-we are out
for a good time.
And so this revenue bin goes on
in the making-taxing here aud there
Taxing everywhere-taxing all busi-
ness and ndustry-necessities and
iuxuTiee-rich and poor-taking blood

practically as recommended by the
administration TO the committees and
BY the committees to the two houses.
There is no enthusiasm for the bill.
Everybody apologies for 1t. Every
body disciaims any responsibility for

and Democrats alike, will vote for
the bill because the President wants
ii.
Take the pot-yoa educated admin
istration," they say in effect, We
don't know what language you are
talking"
OF course TO raise money you must
levy taxes. The administration has
determined to pay these big war debts
as fast as possible. And IL begins
with = levy of $1,000 600. 900.
The wisdom OF this policy is doubt
ed by many.
This war is being fought not for our
own personal pleasure or benefit but
for the freedom and benefit of future
generations. Why not let future
generations help pay the bills?
The country this year and during
the years of the war will contribute
heavily in men and supplies which
will cripple industry. refard develop
ment. remove the support from many
families and impoverish the nation
This year and during the years of
the war the, individuals OF this coun-
try win pay a tribute to war times
in High Prices such as was never
known before-and which will far ex-
coed even the gigantic war taxes.
Why add TO the burdens OF the peo-
pie this gigantic tax levy at this time7
Ii could easily be arranged with a
bond issue. The bonds could be
spread ont over series of years and
future prosperity and future genera
tions could help pay them
Why not let the nation get its
breath and adjust its self TO war
times before throwing this burden
some tax on it,
These are questions that will be
asked ali over the nation. The muir
murings can already be heard and

HEAVY Work Done With Steel.

British and French alike use n
heavy grenade for defensive work,
where the thrower is sheltered by a
trench or shell hole. But when the
word comes to "go over" the English
give little thought to the grenade. The
bOmbardiers make q few long range
throws as the force approaches the
other trench, but once in the Briton
does his work with the iron. The mop
pers-up who follow carry grenades for
their work, while their comrades tear
across country for the next trench.
This appears to be n of the essen
tlal differences in French and English
grenade practice which the Americans
will be called on to decide between.
AT present the opinion of the Ameri-
can line officers seems to lean to the
English idea that the light offensive
grenade is of scant worth. No decis-
ion will be reached until both plans
have heen subjected to trial.
