CHRISTIANS TAKE ANOTHER
GAME FROM THE EVANS

In a fairly tight game, the Chris
tian team defeated the Evangelical
baseball team by a score of Al.
The former team only got two hits
from Otto Romberger while the
latter team made a large number
of hits But the Evangelicals made
more errors than the Christians
and this caused their defeat. This
is the first game that large crowd
attended. The Christian team stands
first, Evangeicals second and the
Lutherans third.

NEW vICE.CHAIRMAN AGGRESSIVE. EFFECTIVE
AND FAIR.

AND FAIR
FENHE career Of John r. Adams, Of Iowa. who was re-
Gently selected as vice-chairman Of the Republican
National Committee. indicates that if the committee
desires efficiency in political management, it made no
mistake in its selection
Mr. Adams is an enterprsing and successful business
man. a student Of politics in the broadest sense, and a
political worker along such lines as to win the esteem
Republicans and the fear OF his Democratic
opponents.
Prior to 1905 Mr. Adams had taken no active part
in politics but had confined his attention almost en-
trey TO the management of sash and door manufac-
turing establishment at Dubuque, Iowa, Of which con-
cern he has been president for twenty-five years and
with which he has been associated for thrty-hve years
Although active in politics he has taken an inter-
est in governmental problems such as would be credit
20 any American citizen He has been lifelong stu
dent OF history and particularly OF the economic prob
loms confronting the people Of the United States His
private library is known one Of the best in the
state OF iowa, and is particularly well supplied with
known works economic subjects He reads Ger
and French auonty and has studied German
authors on economic subjects His extensive studies
have won him reputation among his immediate friends
as a man of scholarly tastes
with this broad foundation for useful political SER
vice Mr. Adams became active in politics for the first
time in 1908 when his neighbor and personal friend,
the late Senator Allison. induced him to take charge
OF his campaign for election to the Senate at which
time the contest was between Allison and Cummins
for the nomination His ability a political worker
is attested by the that he the nomination for
Allison but did # in such manner as not TO forfeit
either the respect the friendship Of cummins, who
later elected to the Senate after the death Of sen
ator Allison
Although thereafter active in politics, Mr. Adams
was never a candidate for any office. However, he
was elected by the people of Dubuque to membership
on the Board of Education, and has served very ac-
ceptably as a trustee Of Dubuque College He was
elected a member Of the Republican National Commit
tee Of 1912 and chosen member Of its executive
committee In 1916 he active supporter of the
candidacy Of Senator Cummins for the presidential
nomination, and elected a member OF the Ma
tional Committee in a Statewide primary in which
/ he won by an Overwhelming majority His relations
are cordial with both Senators Cummins and Kenyon
of Iowa, all the members Of the Iowa Congressional
delegation all the officers Of the State government
No person in his State opposed his election to the
National Committee the ground that he was lack
! ing I'm progressveness.
II the Republican party desires the leadership OF a
man who be aggressvey and effectively active in
party affairs and yet tactfu to retain the conf
dence and friendship OF members Of all factions Of his
own party II would that in the selection Of Mr.
Adams as vice-chairman mistake made.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
TAXATION.

AA-Aft a AVNs
From the Dover Index.
The proposition to tax classes OF
property not now taxed in Delaware
means largely the texation of invest
ments such as bonds, mortgages,
stocks, etc. At one time such a law
was passed but because of a defect in
the title it was declared unconstitu-
tional. From the standpoint Of the
general taxpayers there seems no
good reason why such property should
not be taxed as well as real estate
and live stock.
The theory Of taxation is an eduita-
bic distribution Of burdens on all. The
man who invests his earnings or
wealth in bonds, mortgages, etc, en-
joys the protection and benefits OF
Government as well as the man who
invests IN farms and cattle. II such
a new system produces a larger as
sessment, more money will be raised
for roads and other improvements or
the tax rate can be lowered and the
real estate and live stock OF the
county be relieved OF a part of their
/ present burdens. II is true that when
money is to be had at less than
the legal rate of interest the borrow
er is likely to be made to pay the tax.
but that cannot be avoided. We do not
ask the owner OF a farm or a horse
/ assessed at present whether It is pro-
fitable or not, or whether he pays the
tax or charges It in the rent or hire.
Taxation Is a necessary evil. seldom
equitable, fair OF just, but since every
community Of people has expenses of
government and general improve
ments taxation is the only means OF
providing necessary funds and as far
as possible all wealth should be made
to bear a fair share of the burdens.

Admiral Fiske says in substance
that II we we're TO go into such a

and naval inefhclency and unprepar-
edness we should be in the position
OF one OF the small nations to be pro
tected," and not be one Of the great
