La FeIIeHe's Threatened Campaign
kFrom the New York sunl.

The defeat in the Senate Of both Of
Senator La Follette's amendments pro-
vldlng for the heavier taxation Of war
profits was sufficiently decisive to
give assurance that no legislation Of
that extreme type-certainly none Of
the authorship OF the extremist Wis
consln Senator-can pass this Senate.
"Conscrlpt wealth, but do not confs-
cate IT," said Senator Ffelinghuysen In
discussing the La FOllette's measure.
The Senate recognized the distinction
and voted down both amendments by
votes OF 50 to 20 and SO to A.. The
vote gives assurance OF the passage
now OF the committees schedule.
This action advances the revenue
bill to within measurable distance
OF enactment. For that the business
community Will be profoundly CRATE
full. In the midst OF worldwide econo-
mic uncertainty amounting almost 70
business chaos, the little group Of radl-
calls In the Senate have seen ut still
further TO harass the business com
munity OF this nation by keeping II
In a state OF doubtfulness as to the
measure OF tribute to be exacted from
H. Business men have manifested un-
usual and most creditable patience In
this trying situation. There has been
no clamorous outcry against even the
La Toilette scale OF proposed taxation,
No insistent Hobbies have hung about
Washington. On the contrary big busi-
ness, and little business, too, have as
sumed the position that great crisis
has imposed upon them great and
novel responsibilities which they would
meet in such measure as Congress
might impose.

conflict with Germany. This country
grants freedom OF belief TO all, but IL
hardly expects to see that freedom ex-
tended TO sympathy for tho nations
enemies in war. Other religious de-
nominations which have been trans
planted TO these shores from foreign
lands have made a more or less con-
sclOus effort to Americanize their fol-
lowers. Socialism, in the hour Of the
nations criLis, would seem TO remain
un-Amerlcan.
Doubtless It's hard and fast creedal-
Ism accounts in a way for the unadapt-
ableness OF Socialism In this land
where less rlgldly doctrlnal cults bave
been unable to resist the llberalizing
influences OF American life. The dog
matlc temper OF Socialism has kept IL
thing apart and allen. True, its dog
mas are for the most part the very
reverse OF those Of other narrow sccts :
but one does not escape from sectarlan
limitations simply by turning his
dogmas upside down. Here, in fact, is
the mischief OF trying to substitute an
economic orthodoxy for a theological.
The static and unbendlng habit Of mind
remains. but not, as in the case Of the
traditional theologlan, as something
outside OF and above passing events.
II is thrown In their very vortex, con-
demned TO deal with them OF perish /;
yet so theory bound is II thet II can
do no more than repeat its formulas.
Orthodox socialism still sees the yo-
ltical situation from the intellectual
standpoint OF 1913 Hence natiOnalism
and patriotism are essentially sinful
to its mind It says in the Socialist
Koran that all wars must be the re-
suits OF capitalist consplracies for
profit" Hence England and America,
being capitalist countries" must ne
cessarily be "hypOcritical" in resisting
Prusslan tyranny and aggression. II
the Socialist party OF Germany and
America had been a genuine political
movement II would have seen its su-
preme opportunity in the present
struggle Of world democracy against
Kaiserism. It would have said with
President Wilson: NOW, or never"
But as it is a sort Of materialist cult
Of Adventlsm, the sociologlans can
only stand by and preach an abstract
millennium Of democracy, excommuni-
eating the very men who see in Amer
lean institutions an instrument for
bringing that millennium nearer.
Evening journal., 1917-09-07

The question as TO the principle OF
the war profits tax has never been
raised by those who are TO pay 10.
That and the supertax on enormous
Incomes have been accepted with
philosophy IL not with cheerfulness.
It Is the measure OF the tax alone that
has delayed eglslation-that and the
question OF the proprlety OF levying
a supertax upon great incomes and
another one on the war profits that
produce these incomes. The commit
tees bid Is not tender OF the profit
making corporation. The bill can
scarcely be described as a failure to
conscript wealth.
The defeated radicals promise to go
before the country In the next Con-
gressional elections upon this issue.
They have all the catchwOrds where
with to stir up class hatred and un-
reasoning hostility to corporations.
Senator La Toilette will have such an
opportunity TO do the Kaiser's work
by dlsorganizlng our people as has not
yet been his. But common sense, pa
triotism and justice are on the other
side. We must keep our business en-
terprlses going and extending their
activities If we are to support the war.
We must not add TO military sacrifices
abroad Industrial stagnation at home.
The most important task Of the
group OF statesmen responsible for the
revenue bill as IL shall finally be en-
acted is the preparation Of a clear,
elementary and convincing statement
OF its quality wherewith to demollsh
the demagogic arguments with which
La Toilette and, his associates threaten
to overwhelm the people.

An Economic Orthodoxy
From the New York Tribune

President Wilson's reference, in his
message. to Russia, TO certain European
Socialists who are being used by Ger
man Imperialism ITO their own undo
ing obviously does not refer TO the
American Socialist party. The Amer
lean Socialist movement does not need
any outside help; II is undoing Itself.
Possibly II Is moro correct to say that
the Socialist party Is not so. mach
undolng Itself as revealing itself TO
tho American public In Us true hight.
II Is not a political party at all. IL is
a church. IL is sectarlan movement,
founded on the word OF Marx and in
trusted with the ofllce OF keeping pure
the faith once delivered TO the com
rades.
The ecclesiastical nature OF the Soci-
alist sect is Enthusiastically revealed in
the present liberal distribution OF ex-
communications and designations by
which Pastor Hillqult is purglng his
household OF faith Of the heresy OF
patriotism. Russell, A. M. Slmons, Gay
lord and Lunn have been cast into ut
ter darkness. Walling. Spargo, Stokes
and others, all incidentally persons
with non-TeutOnic names, have back
slidden, having failed to make their
calling and election sure; while even
Allen Benson's orthodoxy Is under sus-
picion. Altogether, very thorough
cleansing OF the congregation OF every
thing strictly American This purism
may appear to unbelievers like narrow
religious intolerance on the part OF
the faithful comrades but as Billy
Sunday would doubtless say in de-
fense OF the right OF religious bodies
generally to expel unbelievers, II a
church member does not like the creed
to which he has subscribed let MIN
get out and Join more liberal de-
nomination.
SO far as The public is concerned.
Mr.. Hillqut has the same right as any
other clergyman to make war on here
sy within the fold. II socialism prefers
TO dispense with its ablest thinkers
and writer's, it is certainly not for
worldly outsiders 10 interfere. But any
cult which makes It uncomfortable for
loyal citizen TO remain in It's mem-
hership Will hardly gain favor just
at present in tho eyes Of the American
public. obviously, it is unacceptable
