THE VALUE OF THE EAST TO

wards are noteworthy as exhibiting
the Jewish viewpoint, although they
are by no means above criticism The
mystic will condemn them as I'M
spiritual, the man of affairs as i'm
practical. How, then, can they be
justified?
Solomon prays that he may not be
very poor or very rich and explains
why. The rich man becomes "full'
and forgets God. The poor man may
steal or blaspheme Both of these ex-
IRENE conditions are undesirable, for
either of them are likely to lead

Christian writer's find the tone of
these Jewish prayers too materialistic.
In a recent issue of "The Outlook"
DR.. Lyman Abbott contrasts the pray
er of Jacob, who prayed for bread
to eat and raiment to wear, with that
of Paul, who encourages the Ephesi-
ans to pray that We may be strength
ened with power through His spirit
in the inward man." The Jew says,
Give me-" the Christian, make
mel! Of course, Ito be strong with
power through the inward man" has
a fine spiritual flavor The only
trouble is that not one churchman in
a thousand knows what it means We
may pray for "grace," "ful1ness of
love- and other nebulous phrases,
but they do not seem to make us
spiritually any more perfect. They
do not seem to be incompatible, with
hatred, intolerance, wars and thou
sand petty meannesses.
AS DR.. Deutsch points out, the
average apologist for Christianity
thinks he has proved his case if he
can befoul Judaism. So DR.. Abbott
fastens upon Jacobs modest prayer
for bread and forgets that he him
self prays "Give us this day our
daily bread" He also emphasizes
Paul's inward power" but over
looks David's "Create in me pure
heart and renew right spirit with
in me-"
The fact that it is the Orien-
talism of Pau1-the utter worldliness,
the fatalism, the emphasis placed up
on sorrow and the mystic theology
derived largely from Persia, India
and, perhaps, China has handi-
capped Christianity, whilst it is the
Judaism of Jesus, love of God with
all our heart and soul, love of ones
fe1low-man and sympathy with the
unfortunate that has been it's great
est asset.

THE INCOME TAX

THE INCOME TAX.-TeXt books
on American government state that
the power Of originating revenue
measures was lodged in the house
of representatives, because the pow
er Of taxing involves the very foun-
dalton. of a democratic state. So, in
critical times in the struggle between
despotic rulers and the people, the
latter have usually denied the former
those revenues necessary to the
maintenance of authority.
Because this right Of IeVying taxes
is so vital, it behooves us to watch
well how this privilege is exercised.
Indirect taxes in the form Of tariff
duties or revenue stamps on articles
of popular consumption are fayorite
ways of raising the money necessary
for the maintenance of the govern
ment. They are rather easily collect
ed, are not directly felt and in par
ticular do not hit the wealthy class
es. They are taken out of the pock-
cts of the working people, but as
these do not control the state, our

Consequently we are not much
perturbed by the news that the pres
idept and congress, in planning reVe-
nues to meet the increased expendi-,
lures of the nation (due in large part
to an utterly unwarranted naval and
military budget) are considering a
revenue tax on coffee, sugar and to-
bacco in particular. To be sure, the
rich drink coffee, but. were the tax
on it increased hundredfOld they
would yet hardly feel the burden.
The wealthy also use sugar, but
hardly to the amount where they
would be embarrassed by the impOsi-
ton Of any possible tax. AS for to-
bacco, the wel-to-do buy such ex-
pensive cigars the difference would
not even arouse their attention. But
to the poor any addition to the al
ready high cost of living is a serious
proposition. For the inevitable re-
suit is the addition of these duties to
the cost Of the article on which they
are laid,
Thus when you buy pound Of
coffee you are charged a price in
cIudlngEthe tax. Such taxes conSe-
quently strike the great. masses Of -
our people, those least able to pay,
and affect very little those most able
to. This is a grave injustice, against
which we should protest. That pro-
test should take form in the recall of
these misrepresentation and the
selection of those who will be guided
in their legislative activities by the
needs Of the common people.
Let US find out why the president
does not follow the recommends
tons of Walsh and make public the
list of income tax payers. It has been
shown that our government is being
robbed of millions yearly by the false
schedules of our miIlionaires, or, s.,
worse, their failure to file any. Con-

MUST NOT MODEST
PEACEFUL ALIENS.

Sheriff Pennock received a letter
Thursday from United States Marshal
Herman O'Connor Of Grand Rapids,
containing information on the rights
of peaceful aliens. The marshal pointed
out the fact that upon previous oc-
casions when countries are at war
peaceful aliens sometimes suffered be-
cause of some individuals who lost
their tempcrs and wreak their malice
on the peaceful aliens. He earnestly
requests the sheriff to do his part in
preventing any outrages like these. He
also advises the sheriff to keep close
watch for plots of any kind against the
government, 'but also advises him to
use discretion aad not make any I'M
warranted arrests so as to stir up
resentment of the foreign born people
in this country.

All through his delirium Ralston
was family conscious OF woman's
face bending over him. with look OF
compassion that TRANSPORTED 1t. Again
and again. as he came weakly back
from the fog OF delirium into conscious
ness, he would realize her presence
and feel the cool hand on his burning
forehead.
When at last he opened his eyes to
the realization of his position he saw
that the face had been largely the
Pigment of his dreams. 1t was a pleas
ant, motherly face, the face of WON
an of thirty-five, perhaps; but 1t was
not the face he had imagined.
Are you feeling better?" asked a
soft voice.
Ralston tried to answer, but he was
too weak to speak. And. lying there,
he began to remember the circum-
stances OF the accident.
He had gone West three years be-
fore to take up the homestead miles
away from the city. nursing in his
heart the remembrance of the girl
who had Tilted him and ruined his
life. He had abandoned everything,
his friends, his interests. Gradually

the charm of the peaceful country had
chung about him. and he realized that
nature had a healing balm for his
wounded heart.
He had known that Mrs. Symon. a
widow of culture. had taken up the
homestead adjacent after her hus-
bands death, preferring the solitary
life in the wilds to struggle in a
city, but he had not chosen to sec
any woman, and on the rare occasions
when he saw her. as he rode past on
his way to the post. he only raised
his hat and turned his face away.
SO he had lived three years, alone,
save for the occasional visit Of a
wanderef at his sod cabin. He passed
for a morosc man, as, indeed, he was

man had his own interests in that
wild region.
He had been riding to the post. ter
miles away. when his horse stumbled
and threw him. He had sustained in.
ternal injuries, but no bones were
broken. The worst thing was a severe
conclusion of the brain. and for three
weeks he had been semiconscious, liv-
ing in a world OF delirium.
II was odd that in the place OF the
woman who, till then, had occupied
that face that bent compassionately
above him. The force of the delusion
had gripped his heart; now, on awak-
ening, he was almost glad to find that
1t was a dream; and yet he knew that
the image persisted. II was ex.
traordinary that he should have i'm
agined what could never be in the
face OF Mrs. Symon.
For days he lay there. gradually
recovering his strength. 1t amazed
him that anyone should be so kind.
Ralston was thirty and Mrs. Symon
not too old for his expressions OF graf.
itude to bring warm flush to her
face.
Gradually the motherly attitude
seemed to vanish. In place OF 1t was
very womanly sympathy, certain
equality that act Ralston thinking
hard.
After all, man could not live alone
forever. And this woman was very
kind, kinder than any he had ever
known. She would assuage his lone
nsess, and something told him thai
she was not Indifferent to him.
During the days Of his convalescenc'
he told her much about his past. ant
