Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube is inflamed you have a rumbing

PIE of universal liability of service"
This step will also involve the grant
ing of adequate credits to the govern
ments sustained, the president said.
He added then that so far as the ex-
penditures incurred in prosecution of
the war could by well conceived tax
alton, it appeared the part of wisdom
that the present generation should
bear the major portion of the burden,
il seeming most unwise to base such
huge credits entirely on money Dor
rowed In conclusion, the president
said, 1T is our duty to protect the
people from those evils usually arising
from imitation due to the floating Of
vast loans"
Immediately after the president left
the capitol, the senate and house re-
convened and an identic joint resolu-
ton was introduced in both houses de-
claring the existence of a state of war
and directing the president to employ
all the resources of the country to
carry on war against the imperial
German government, and bring the
conflict to a successful conclusion.
Because of the opposition to the
measure of Senator Stone, chairman Of
the foreign relations committee, the
resolution was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Martin, of Virginia, the
democratic floor leader. Representa-
tive Flood, chairman of the foreign af-
fairs committee, introduced it in the
house
The resolution was referred to the
foreign affairs committees by both
houses, and adjournment until tomor-

committees meet tomorrow morning.

The resolution follows:
Joint resolution declaring that
a state of war exists between the
imperial German government and
the government of the people of
the United States, and making pro-
vision to prosecute the same:
Whereas, the recent acts of the
imperial government are acts of
war against the government and
people of the United States;
Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America. in Con-
gress assembled, that the state of
war between the United States and
the imperial German government,
| which has thus been thrust upon
the United States, is hereby form
ally declared; and,
That the president be, and he is
hereby authorized and directed to
take immediate steps not only to
put the country in a thorough
state of defense, but also to exert
all of its powers and employ all of
its resources to carry on war
against the imperial German gov
eminent and to bring the conflict
to a successful termination"

NEW YORK WANTS A CHANGE
Desires UnsishtIy Post Office Building
Erected Soon After the War Re-
moved From City Park.

III the cracking of the walls of the
unsightly downtown post Office build
ing which for whole generation has
been permitted to occupy the souther-
ly end Of City Hall park turns out to
be serious enough to necessitate the
removal of the building, Ii is to be
hoped that enough public spirit will be
manifested in New York to compel the
return of the park land to the city and
the erection Of a new federal building
elsewhere, says the New York Times
The building designed by Mullet has
always been regarded as an ilEfavored
specimen of architecture. The lower
end of City Hall park had been seized
by the United States government dur
ing the war between the states as an
encampment for volunteers and the
shabby barracks did not disappear I'M
til some time after the war. The
ground was never repaired and 1t was
transferred to the federal government
for post Office and courthouse when
the minds of public-spirited citizens
were wholly occupied with other mat
ters. The courtrooms have always
been i'll ventilated. The building has
been uncomfortable within and un.
slightly as to Its exterior. Its removal
has long been hoped for.

GOES FROM DESK TO LAUNDRY
and Is Now Making Several Times
That Amount Washing Clothes.

In writing on economy Thoreau once
observed that mankind is apt to con
slider not what is truly respectable, but
what is respected" Most young peO-
pie consider that 1t is more respect
able occupation to sit at desk In an
Office than to take In washing. A
ighly-educated Los Angeles girl
thought otherwise and proved her
point.
AS stenographer she was earning
S12 week and, not satisfied with this
pay, she quit not only her job, bat the
whole stenography business. She was
not afraid of soapsuds or hard work
and she had an idea that 1t was better
to be prosperous laundress than an
impecunious stenographer. She con-
Quoted the business with brains and
efficiency and as n result is now max
ing SOS week without working longer
hours than she did at her desk. She
now merely does fancy work, expen-
sive and delicate fabrics for wealthy
people: and the business grows. She
makes something more than Il respect
able income.
There is lesson here for any who
think any kind of honest work is be-
meath them. TO quote Thoreau again :
1.-The life which men praise and regard
as successful is but one kind. Why
should we exaggerate anyone kind at
the expense of the others?'-Los An

The entire program the Republicans
intend to follow has not been agreed
upon, nor can 1t be until all the party
members are In Washington for the

than the Underwood law; a reduction
Of internal taxes, and a complete wip-

appropriations for preparedness on the

WHY RETAIN DANIELS2
NOT THE WAY FOR WILSON TO
DESERVE SUPPORT.
Secretary Of the Navy 10 Known by
Every Intelligent Person to Be
Unfit for His Post.

President Wilson keeps Mt the head
OF the navy of the United States In
this critical hour man who is known
by every intelligent person to be IN
mt for his post. To the world at large
Josephus Daniels Is joke and to the
navy itself he Is crime.
The nation owes to the president its
confidence and support, and to its own
perpetuity 1t owes compliance with his
request. But there Is on his part a
corresponding and reciprocative debt
to treat the nation as squarely as 1t
treats him. He owes 1t the selection
OF the best men he can get for his
trusted advisers. He owes 1t the wis
est and coolest heads at his command
so that their confidence may not be
misplaced or betrayed.
We suppose that so long as Daniels
continues to sound the presidents
praises, he can handicap the efficiency
OF the navy as Bryan did the state de-
partment. There will be fight for
the Graysons and contumely for the
Garrisons. This is not the way to de-
serve the support the president so
lightly asks and the nation so ungrudg.
ingly accords.-Indianapo STAR

rm comml..lon oI:en under fIr..


Since the state tax commission was
created In 1899 bills have been intro
duced at every regular legislative SEES
sion but one TO abolish the commits
sion or curtail its powers. The origi'
nal act gave the commission practical
ly all the powers II has now. For six
years the commission followed poll
cy OF making uniform horizontal I'm.
creases in valuations. This policy
caused much dissatisfaction; so. In
1906. the legislature curbed the com
missions powers 10 the end that II
could review the assessments Of local
assessors. only on petition OF resident
taxpayers. In 1911 the legislature re-
stored the powers which the commits.
sion has since exercised OF reviewing
on its own initiative In
any county. and increasing valuations.
No bill since to impair the powers or
the commission has gotten far. Since
the amending act OF 1911 the commits
sion has increased to cash value the
assessments in practically all coun-
lies. yet the bills introduced in the
present legislature TO clip the powers
Of the commission have received less
support than like bills in previous
sessions
