The Goldman-Berkman Sentence.

The little scum Of anarchy VINO
have been playing with fire for 10
these many years have been nipped in
a trap of their own making. and after
they have toiled and moiled away
their term in prison. it may be. per-
haps, that they are going away from
here.
At her best, Emma Goldman is a
cheap scold ard a nuisance; at her
worse, she is an intellectual pervert
who seeks to undermine the free insti-
tutlons of the United States Until she
ran afoul Of conscription and sought
to dissuads young men from obeying
the law of the land. she was given q
free hand. When she tried to sow her
poison in war times. she was tripped
I'D quickly. The unanimity and the
promptitude with which the jury rem
dered it's verdict yesterday leaves lit
tie doubt that the case against her
was complete.
II is a favorite trick Of these scatter
Drained, imported apostles of anarch
to compare themselves to Christ. to
crusaders who have carried the torch
of revolution in historic fights against
oppression, and it is no surprise that
both Goldman and Berkman cited the
Christly example to the jury yester-
day. 1t did not avail. A people who
know liberty and prize it as the dear
est of their possessions are not likely
to be led into confusing freedom of
speech with mere licentious rhodomon-
tade and neurotic folly. Anarchy and
its high priests are the worst foes OF
a democracy, particularly in war
times.
Deportation for Goldman and Berk-
man-to come after their prison terms
are compIeted-will be welcomed by
the great majority Of the American
people as relief from a long-standins
nuisance.

The Guard Is Called.

Bravo, Guardsmen. you whom the
President has summoned to the fight
ing forces Of the nation August 3!
Your gallant past is to be submerged
in a glorious future, perhaps great
adventure is nearer than most of you
suspect!
1t is scarcely two years since the
National Guard was under fire as
a clumsy, ineffective. desultory mill
tary organization. Lindley NJ. Garri-
son resigned from the Cabinet be-
cause he would have none of it. What
changes have taken place since then!
The Guard has not siege of arduous
duty on the aIkali plains of Texas and
Arizona, and has not been found
wanting. Today it Is second only 20
our professional regular army as an
efficient military unit.
Out Of the ashes Of the old Ma
tional Guard arises the new, about
to embark upon high service for the
United states. Before the winter sets
in hundreds OF thousands of them
probably will have been landed on
French soil.

giles, leather helmets, coats, masks.
and trousers to officers on aviation
duty for the sole purpose OF flying
on duty can well be authorized by
administrative regulation. II the
gauntlets proposed for such issue are
not OF the type used in such usual
occupations of life as automobilinS
and riding, but are of a type pecu-
liarly and exclusively adapted to avia-
tion, and are OF no general utilita-
rian value. II is held that they, too.
can lawfully be issued as proposed.
Army regulations will he altered ac-
Cordingly. In the meantime, It is re-
marked that the quartermsster gem
eral has no available funds nom
which to dcfray the expenditure in
volved. and, further, that in ths esti-
mates OF purchases of clothing for
the army in the fiscal year 1915 no
provision has been made for purchases
of this character
The Navy Department has secured
an excellent site for a new aviation
station and subma rine base on Puget
Sound in tract of land fronting on
Port Angeles Harbor, Wash, which
has been transferred, by an executive
order recently signed by the Presi-
dent. from the Department of Com
merce to the Navy Department. 1t
is expected that the transfer. which
is temporary, will later be made per-
manent by act of Congress.
The tract is part of the lighthouse
reservation on Ediz Hook Spit and
lies between the Strait of San Juan
de Fuca and Port Angeles Harbor.

that the government will fix prices
that are fair and reasonable and prob
ably in excess of the minimum amount
of net profits which are exempt from
taxation. But IL il does that it will
recover a part OF the money that it
paid for these commodities because it
will exact whatever excess profits tax
the law imposes.
As much as 30 per cent Of excess
profits will be exacted by the gov
ernment il the bill as now written
becomes a law in case the excess
profits reach figure which of itself
is in excess OF the capitalization OF
all but a very few American corpora
tions. The estimate is made that no
more than five industries will be call
ed upon to pay a tax upon excess
profits that are greater than $500 900 900
or SO0, 100000. The five industries
which it is presumed will be called
upon by the tax collectors to pay
tax that will absorb from 40 per cent
to so per cent of the profits which
are IN excess of a certain arbitrarily
established figure, are occupied, first
with the manufacture of steel. Pre-
sumably the greatest tax taken from
excess profits Will be paid by the
| nited States Steel Corporation.
Charles NJ. Schwab will turn over to
the government a good many millions
taken out of the excess profits of the
Bethlehem steel Company.
Another industry which will be COM
PEELED to pay over many millions. no.
body can tell exactly how much. is
represented by the manufacturers of
automobiles. Possibly the profits OF
some of these corporations may be
reduced by reason of the fact that
they will be oupied in meeting the
governments demand for aeroplanes.
A third industry that will pay mil
lions to the government out of the
excess profits is the COPPER Industry
associated with their mining indus
tries. A fourth is the industry Occu-
pied with making munitions and a
tifth the industry whose product is
powder and other explosives. These
will, it is presumed. be almost eX-
clusively the corporations that will be
compelled to pay from 40 per cent to
80 per cent of the excess profits to
the government in the form of taxes.
There seems to be no doubt that
the imposition of an excess income tax
will compel some readjustment of in
dustrial activities. The government
is to receive. IL present expectations
which may be exaggerated do not
prove disappointing, from $500, 900, ,OO0
to 800 900, 900 from excess profit taxes.
Al! of this money goes directly back
to the people for it will be paid out
by the government on account of
purchases. which in the aggregate
for the next twelve months will be
stupendous. These governmental de-
mands upon manufacturing plants
will make it necessary to defer accep-
tance of orders from domestic indus
tries and this will entail some extern
sive readjustments. Nevertheless
there will be no real disturbance of
business. Much curiosity is expressed
over the machinery by which the gov
ernment will establish actual excess
profits. One question frequently asked
is this: How is the government to get
at excess profits in the case of corpo-
rations which were not organized until
after the beginning of the war with
Germany? HOLLAND.

Another sketch of prominent

BRIG-GEN. WILLIAM NJ. BLACK.
Chief of Bureau of Engineers.
Born in Pennsylvania, December s,
1855. and was appointed to the Mill

ing with honors in 1915, he was COM
missioned a second lieutenant in the
Engineer Corps and was elevated
grade by grade in that arm of the
service. In the Spanish-American war
he was commissioned a lieutenant
colonel of volunteers.
The question has arisen as to wheth-
er issues on memorandum recent of
heavy clothing, gauntlets and head
gear, exclusively or peculiarly adapted
to aviation duty, may legally be made
to officers of the aviation section of
the army signal corps. The new uues-
tion devolves upon whether the pro-
posed issue of aviation clothing con-
stitutes an allowance. the technical
meaning of which In the statutes is
"A reward for service I'm money or
