Washington, April 9.-tSpeciall.-
Although there are DBL senator's and

But congress was necessary Just the

certain things cannot be done save with
the approval Of congress. This not only
applies to declarations OF war, but also
to appropriations and the creation Of
new Offices necessary I'm case war is

Few Signs Of Revolt.

There are few signs OF revolt I'm
congress. There are many men who
were prominent In public life long be-
fore Woodrow Wilson was known as
a college professor or a public figure.
These men have been thrust aside and
are now taking orders from the presi-
dent. There is scarcely a leader In
congress on either the Democratic or
Republican side who a not a leader
before Woodrow Wilson became COVER
nor OF New Jersey. There are men of
prominence, many of them, who think
that they would make good presidents
themselves, but whom chance has de-
MED that fame. Many are old now and
win never be elected.
The Democratic leaders are men who
watched Republican success under Me,
kinley and Roosevelt, when the Re
publicans were subservient To the will
Of the president. They saw Repub-
lican defeat under President Taft
when the Republicans were no longer
subservient TO the president These
men know that party success depends
upon s~ubseryiency TO the White House
For that reason Woodrow Wilson Is
able to control his party as no other
man has been able TO do within the

Excise Taxes Must Be Equal.

NG&e faN6S WhHk 20 @Ahnis
The fact is that all taxation must be
equal and all excise taxes must be
levied alike in all states. The treasury
department has no option, but must Is
sue liquor permits to any person who
will make application for such govern
ment permits and pay the fee. 1t is a
money collecting scheme, so far as the
treasury department is concerned, and
il absolutely ignores prohibition terri
tory.
Why, when Ii was a felony and peni
Tertiary offense to carry a thimbleful
mn Indian reservation the federal treas
ury was issuing these liquor permits
and collecting the money for them for
the sale of liquor I'm this prescribed ter
ritory.
Therefore the treasury department
will not take cognizance of the Reed
bone dry amendment, and liquor deal
ers will be granted permits In prohibit
ton states just as they have been here
tofore.
Not a Wonderful Showing.
Although there has been much cry In
regard to the Sherman antitrust law,
there has been mighty little wool. In
twenty-seven years the government has
collected $4,000 In fines for violations
Of the Sherman antitrust law. One
man has been put in jail. He was an
individual who pleaded guilty and was
in jail four hours.
Big business men connected with big
corporations and others who have been
up against the Sherman law are not
fearful Of consequences. The most oh
jectionable feature In connection with
it Is the fact that they are indicted and
are subject to whatever odium Is at
tached to an indicted man. But as
long as they can get Off by payment Of
fines they do not care much about the
minor Inconvenience.

Liquor Permits VIII Be Issued.

The United States treasury depart
ment will continue to issue liquor H.
censes-that is. permits for selling
liquors In dry as well as wet states.
IL was thought at the time the Reed
bone dry provision was inserted In the
postofiee appropriation bill that 1t
would probably end the granting of
permits for selling liquor in dry terri
tory.
1t seems rather incongruous hat con
gress should prohibit the transporta-
ton OF liquor into prohibition states
and provide heavy penalties for so do
ing while the treasury department
should go ahead and issue these per
mits just as they have been doing
heretofore.
