the vote upon my amendment, is to
average the profits of business for
three years before the war, to deduct
this pre-war profit from profits made
during the war and tax by 70 or ~
per cent-the remainder. For instance,
| If in three years preceding the war
"A corporation made profits respective
/ v of SIS, 900, 100000 and Sl25,0OO,
the average peace profits would be
500. 900. If during the war the same
/ concern made a profit of s20O,0OO
wear, from this war profit would be
! deducted the 100000 average peace
profits and the tax would be levied
upon the 100000 excess war profits.
The group led by Penrose would
take Of war profits 81 per cent. The
group led by Borah and Hollis would
take 10 to 80 per cent. We who IA
vor high taxes of war profits insist
the expenses of war should be paid
by those who profit by war; that the
burden of taxation lies least heavily
up$n the great mass of our people
when taxation can be laid upon enor-
nous sums coined out of our misfor-
tune and our nations perils; that
when the supreme maximum sacrifice
is required Of humanity, at least some
sacrifice should be required of the
wealth made out of humanity's sacri-
fee: that we should not be lavish of
our blood and tender of our dollars.

It is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but should
we not make use of the experience of
others as well as our own? The ex-
perience of thousands of persons is
more to be depended upon than that
of one individual. Many thousands of
persons have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for coughs and colds
with the best results, which shows it
to be a thoroughly reliable prepara-
ton for those diseases. Try it. 1t
is prompt and cffectual and pleasant
to take.

you've never made anything else.

it is, the more noise it makes.

preached was an original master

Perhaps the briefest funeral ora
ton ever delivered was that of an
old negro of Mississippi over the body
of another of his race who had borne
a very bad reputation. Lifting his
hat and looking down upon the cof

eral tones: "Sam Wiser, you is gone.
We hopes yo' is gone whar we 'spects
you hain't!"

CURRENT COMMENT.

HENRY FORD'S income last year
was about so million dollars. I'm
der the pending war tax bills he
would pay in taxes so millions to the
government. He is not kicking. But
few would kick, either, if after pay
ing their taxes and supporting the
war like good patriots, they had an
income of 20 millions left to scrape
through the year on.

OUR Senator Borah is right in de-
manding that war profits pay a
heavy war tax. But the actions of
majority Of his colleagues in the
senate are far from pleasing to the
general run of American citizens.
Wall street demands exemptions, and
the senate consents. The monstrous
blood money capitalism has made cut
Of three years Of war it desires to
continue TO make, with the United
States in war. In the next year the
government viii expend IL billion dol
lars; Of this perhaps A billions in loans
will be made 10 our allies, leaving
some z billions actual American costs
and Of this z billions, capitalism OBJ
jects 70 Pay ~ billion in direct tax.
This attitude Of those who are profit
ing 50 largely by the war means that
not far from 6 billions this year alone
must be unpaid, put off by bonds,
which the survivors Of our armies
abroad, fighting for the nations free
dom, must pay for when they ceturn,
principal and interest.

THE abandonment of the Riga sec
ton has been anticipated for some
time. Wherever there are undisci-
plined or poorly equipped troops in
opposition. there the Germans win vic
tories. But they have won no laurels
agaiast the Allies in the West since
they were stopped at the Marine. The
very immensely of Russia may prove
her salvation. Territory won must
be held The winter is worth ten
army corps in Russia. And nothing
so cements the martial spirit of a
people or is so certain to blind them
together for united action as an enc
my in possession of their soil HUI
man nature gets the better of all
theories and "isms" when that CON
dition of affairs comes TO pass, and
the natural love of man for the soil
that he lives on dominates all his inn
pulses. There is nothing more dan
gerous than TO conquer" Russia. She
is whipped only when her armies fail
along the far flung frontiers or in
foreign lands She is victorious when
her foes win to her very heart. The
Allies have ceased to expect any
thing from Russia except that she
keep a certain number of Germans
employed. That she is doing The
further they run into her territory the
more certain she is of final united
effort and a titanic struggle to rid
herself Of her tormentors. The Rus
sian campaign, it will be remembered,
was the undoing Of Napoleon.

YOU see a great many quotations
from Russia in favor of woman
suffrage in the new republic, and none
against it. Perhaps the fact that the
Russian women are helping brace
what little morale the Russian army
has left, instead of parading around
Kerensky's home carrying banners,
has something to do with this feeling

IF there were American sympathiz-
ers in Germany as there are Ger

long would they last? What would

try are the ones who get the most

PAPER YARN |9 USED MAKING
 CLOTHING

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 21.-The en- ployment of paper yarn in all dir ections in Germany has made enor. nous progress during the past year. Cloths and fabrics made entirely of paper yarn are now widely used The base of these is a simple one-colored paper yarn used in exactly the same way as jute, prisoners camps are now supplied with mattresses and even pill lows in which the covering is made of this fabric. In fact, paper weaving has made such strides that twills are now produced, and the time is not far distant when it will be possible to ob- tain excellent grades of worsted made of paper, and already the first pat terms of such fabrics are being ex- hibited.
 1NCdhy ClOlhitlSo lli~ paper IS at present confined for the most part to special workmen's clothing. Entire suits of this are exhibited, as we'll as aprons, overalls, and office-coats. The price of paper fabrics varies between 25 cents and one dollar yard. Ready made workmen's aprons and overalls are sold at six dollars a dozen. For entire suits the price is about $5.
 The paper clothing is not, how ever, entirely confined to workmens clothing. A beginning has been made in supplying garments for women and children. For children there is a wide variety of paper garments available For women, the offerings are thus far confined to underclothing.

GERARD SPEECH WAS
CORRECTLY TELEGRAPHED
Declared Most Cordial Relations Ex-
listed Between America and
Germany.

Washington-Amba Gerard s
much discussed speech on his return
to Berlin, in which he was quoted as
saying that never since the begin
ming of the war have the relations
between the United States and Ger.
many been as cordial as now," was
reported substantially as made, it
was said at the state department
Monday.
The text will be examined and ii
is probable some announcement will
be made later. 1t is stated officially
that the departments request of the
ambassador to send on his exact
words is in no way reproof to him
but is a customary procedure.
Ambassador Gerard's speech has
caused more comment abroad, per
haps, than any other utterance by an
American diplomat since the war be.
gan. The German newspapers at.
tached much significance to it, espe.
cially as it followed SO shortly on
Ambassador Gerard's visit to Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
here and on the presidents note to
the belligerents.
In general the German chancellor's
supporters and those looking to an
early peace approved it, while the
chancellor's enemies and those urg-
ing vigorous warfare regarded his
suggestion that, SO long as the pres
ent German officials continue in pow
er, no trouble was likely, as an I'M
due interference in Germany's in
ternal affairs should justify his re-
call

Lawson had been asked if he was
prepared to offer proof of his state
ment that there were beneficiaries
