Wanted: A Sense of HumOr.

In the CHASTITY tragedy of the war
it is seldom that anything even un-
consciously humorous develops, but
Mr.. Gerard is on record and no one
will suppose that he was deliberately
trying to be funny. He publishes
his notes Of an interview with the
German Kaiser after the Sussex Incl
dent, and not Mark Twain nor Arte-
mus Ward could have invented any
thing like the kaiser's actual utter
ance:
The emperor then spoke of what
he termed the uncourteous tone of
our notes, saying that we charged the
Germans with barbarisn in warfare,
and, as emperor and head Of the
church, he had wished to carry on
the war in a knightly manner.
He referred to his own speech to
the members of the Reichstag at the
commencement of the war, and said
that the French, especially, were not
like the French of 10, but that their
officers, instead of being mobiles, came
from no one knew where.
He then referred to the efforts to
starve out Germany and keep out
milk from that nation: and declared,
before he would allow his family and
SIaDOcnllOTSl TO StaINS, tnaL ne WOulO
blow up Windsor Castle and the
whole royal family of England.
To put it in the vernacular, this
seems rough on Windsor Castle, but
King George is in the monarch bust
ness, and his father, whose courage
was beyond all question, said that at
tempted assassination was one of the
ordinary risks OF that employment.
There is a sympathy between kings
arising not out Of love, but from ne
cessity. The shaking of one throne
involves the trembling of all the
others. This is why the British have
not played a trump card which Kaiser
Wilhelm justly breads. This is the
manuscript Of the third volume Of
Prince Bismarcks memoirs, at pres
ent deposited in the vaults of the
Bank of England by BislIarck's heirs,
in order to circumvent the Kaiser's
desperate efforts to secure and de-
stroy the disgraceful record of his
relations with his father and mother.
Kings are cheap enough, and King
George is good one of the kind,

WOULD RETAIN DR.. LEWIS
Members Of New Haven Board of
Health Displcased at Prospect Of
Losing Official to New Britain.


New Haven, Oct. 10.-Board Of
health members of this city are dis
pleased with the prospect of losing
DR.. Dwight M. Lewis who has been
considered as health officer of New
Britain at the salary Of $4,000 q year.
1t Is also said that the majority of the
members of the board of health are
not pleased with what they call the
perjury of the board of finance in
salary matters pertaining to the mem
bers of the health department.
To quote the words of one Of the
members Of the board Of health at a
board meeting held yesterday after
noon, 'It is a disgrace to the city Of
New Haven to allow such man as
DR.. Lewis, whom we have trained in
the work of bacteriologist and cpl
demologist, and who has been so sue
cessful in that work, to go at a salary
which the city should have paid him
in 1914. At that time when the posi-
ton was made for DIR. Lewis, we, as
members of the board Of health,
recommended salary of $4,000 for
the office and it has never been given
him although we have made applica-
ton for it year after year to the
members sat up and took notice and
stopped this policy of penny wise and
pound foolish.

THE WAYS OF CONGRESS.

Business men and professional men
are as far apart in their modes Of
living as the two poles. That is. a
as the term goes, While a professional
man is more of free lance. In a
way, the two have different standards
of living. The nature Of their oc-
equations makes this so. AS in their
everyday work, so in the increment
they derive therefrom. 1t is hard
for a professional man to put his
finger on a figure and say. There is
my earnings for the year.. On the
other hand, a business man may take
pencil and pad and tell in a few short
minutes how the years profit ranged.
So, when Congress just before adj
journing decided to put into the new
ware revenue bill a proviso to seize
all that professional man earns
above six thousand dollars a year as
excess profits it tackled a subject
ground out Excess profits on what?
ask the wiseacres. Excess profits on
gray matter, on brain? The profess
sional man, as a rule, has very little
invested in his profession. In the
case of a doctor, dentist, lawyer,
or whatsoever, there are stipulated
outfits that follow the profession:
but once these are bought they US
ually stay there. In the main, the
professional mans earnings come
from his knowledge of the subject in
hand, and not from the fixtures or
other paraphernaHa that adorn his
office.
No professional man who is r1ak-
ing more than six thousand dollars
a year will begrude giving the gov
eminent the surplus cash demanded
under this tax. In fact. many will
be proud to partake of this effort to
help the government in it's hour of
need. what though they will be
reached again under the normal in
come tax. This super-tax, it is noted.
applies to all professional men with
one exception, congressman. They
have exempted themselves from this
tax. 1t might be argued they are not
professional men; it might be further
argued tkey do not earn their salaries;
it might be argued to a nicely that
there are no "excess profits in their
line Of work; but whatever the ar
gument the professional man will
feel he has been treated unjustly in
this one respect. He is taxed for
his ability to produce, an ability which
demands brains uber muscle. Truly
the ways of Congress are mysterious.

When the Connecticut companv
gave notice of a raise on all of their

among many. that they would do their
plt towards boycotting the cars by a
refusal to ride on them. The trolley
company, however. lost no sleep on
the matter, as they held the whip in
the1r own hands, and there was no
other way out than for the public to
submit to 1t, as they always have, and
no doubt always will. 1t was notice.

those that favored a boycott Now
that the trolley company have been so

Hitting Salarted Men.
New York SUM-

\ANo" ok SUM
The war revenue bill, now law by
the signature Of the President, has
been found to contain clause i'm
posing a tax Of per cent. on corpor-
ate incomes above $4,000 and many
individual incomes above $4,000 in ad-
dition to existing income and corpor-
alton taxes and those provided by the
law.
The clause is so worded as to make
the 8 per cent. tax fall on incomes de-
rived from "a business or trade having
no invested capital or not more than a
nominal invested capital" and anoth-
er section Of the bill says that the
terms trade" and business include
professions and occupations"
This clause was put into the law
while it was still bill in conference.
The purpose was to tax every business
the profits of which were not affected
by the profit tax levied by the law
The profit tax itself was so drawn as
not to fall upon business with no
money capitalization or only nominal
money capitalization.
The conferees are said to have had
| in mind such cases as a lawyer making
100000 year and in their concep-
| ton as we'll able to pay a profit tax as
a corporation making 100000 a year.
The effect of this personl profit tax
would be considerable. Under the re-
vised income tax a man with a salary
of $500 a year would pay sos, nor
NAL and war income taxes. Add per
| cent of his salary above $4,000 or $12O
and YOU take about 1-3 per cent. of
| his income.
The $4,000 man is now subject to
income taxes to take 1920 more from
him. He would be paying $675, or
nearly per cent. of his whole income.
| The 100000 lawyer whom the con-
ferees were worrying about will be
| separated from $18,180 of that amount
| bv the income taxes for 1915, per-
| haps under the circumstances depriv-
alton of $3.50 moro will not bother
him; nevertheless, he will be paying
| close to one-quarter Of his income in
| taxes.
| A personal profit tax? A tax on per-
sonal qualifications, rather. The
| per cent. is levied on the lawyers
gray matter and on Mr.. Chapltn's fun
nv smile alike. It descends on the
| physician and on Billy Sunday. How
| much additional revenue it will pro
duce there Is no telling. The men who
pay it from the earnings of their owf
toll may, however, be momentarllS
cynical as they look at the man doW1
the block whose income of $4,000 o.
100000 is derived from investment
and escapes the per cent. tax Whlcf
thew are inequitably made to pay by
the bill as it was signed yesterday.

Il shouldn't mind having Jack en-
list" said his mother, "if I didn't
know he'd be herded right in with
those common boys" Then the draft
came along and caught Jack. He's
out IN a big cantoument.
The woman by her utterance admit
ted her failure as a mother. If Jack
at ~ was so weak a thing that his
health could be injured, his morals
corrupted or his peace of mind upset
by association with other boys some
or whom had been less extensively
reared than he, his education had been
farce. If his mother had been real
Iy of fine metal she would have taught
Jack from his babyhood to recognize
true values when he saw them. He
would now be strong, with an attitude
so wholesome that there could be no
fear of his ability to take care of
himself. And she would have thought
of his association with the other lads
with pleasure that Jack might have
the opportunity, the broadening exper-
fence Of knowing Intimately all types
of men.
Those common boys"-what are
they? Sons Of the workers Of the
world-whom Lincoln said the Lord
must have loved, because he made 50
many of them? If SO, then Jack has
much to learn from them. If she
meant boys who were vulgar In word
or deed-they are always few. The
many are clean, decent, admirable.
And vulgarity springs from weak
ness and lack of discipline. Army
drill and the big spiritual expert
ence Of living near to death will
soon burn all that out.
AS those common boys-sons and
brothers of all Of us-go marching
by to entrain for their winters work
