TAXING WAR PROFITS.

The idea of taxing war profits sems to be an entirely equitable man ner to help pay the costs of the war.
 Take the United States Steel cor profit before the war-1911, 12, 13- was $63 3,5S5,777 year. It's profit in 1916, however, was $271 1,551,730.
 It is evident that the difference be- tween the steel trusts 1916 profit and the average profit before the war will represent it's profit due to the war or war profits. The difference is $2O7,945,953.
 The trusts and it's satraps are ~io- lently opposed to special war profit tax, preferring the issuance of bonds, which ultimately would have to be paid by the people least able to pay
 Congress has mind, however, to clamp from 60 per cent to so per cent tax on war profits which during the war will net the government hum dreds of millions that will come out of the war profits of trusts and big corporations, instead of out of the taxes on the necessities of life.
 Why should anyone be permitted to make millions of money out of the bloodshed of humanity?

STARTS FGRTY-sECOND YEAR.

BoSton. Mass, Sept. o.-JeSSe Pom eroy, serving a life sentence for mur- der. today began his forty-second year in confinement at the state prison in Charlostnwn. The anniversary was tho most pleasant of it's kind in the career of the famous prisoner, for it was the first in more than forty years since he entered the prison that he has passed outside of solitary con- finement." For forty Years Pomeroy had been keEt in solitary confinement behind the gray prison walls. During this period he was never permitted to mingle with his fellow prisoners, and only at rare intervals did he see the face of a fellow man. Some months ago, following a long public agitation and investigation by the governors council, the solitary con. finement clause in Pomeroy's sen tence was remitted, and since that time he has been permitted to enjoy the same privileges as ether life prisoners.

ACTING FOR THE ALLIES.

In every sense of the word, the United States is now the king pin among nations; it's word goes for the entire entente-the word of Pres ident Wilson meets with approbation in the capitals of our allies.
 There isn't the slightest doubt that when the peace parleys hegin the voice of America will dictate peace for the world.
 The recent reply of President Will son to the pope's peace note is a case in point. What he said went for all-and without previous confer ences with our allies, either!
 The presidents opposition to an economic league against the central empires after the war will have to be swallowed by our allies, also. The presidents stand can easily be explained he is constitutionally averse to economic strictures between udJlOllS, do ally OuC WitO lldS eohSA IN-S trouble to read his works must know and further, he is of the opinion that economic alliances of the kind con templated by the Paris conference would be source of grievance to a defeated Germany, sufficient to cause a peace on such basis as to be merely an armistice. Needless to say, the presidents views will ulti mately dominate those of the allies Paris conferences to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Our nation is not only iii the fight to rid the world of great wars but also of fruitful sources of wars and an economic league would be one of them.

TALKING WELL OF PINE BLUFF.

Make statement, let five people repeat it, and just imagine what good or harm it will do.
 Suppose some misguided individ- uel unjustly criticises Pine Bluff, and he repeats the statement to five per sons. The latter repeat it to others, usually without Investigating and not knowing the truth or falsity of the original statement In such case an evil slur has been given coinage that may go far and wide to detract against the god name and repute Of Pine Bluff.
 It's just in this way that Philadel- phia got the reputation of being a sleepy town, and Boston of being purl- tanical, and Milwaukee of being the champion liquor guzzling town, and San Francisco of being by-Word for graft.
 If. instead of slurring the com munity, five people stand together i'll bond of friendship and encourage ment, they will soon find that others are joining their ranks, and instead of spreading islander they will be shoul- der to shoulder in cultiVatng good feeling and esteem. The patriotic, loyal town spirit IS 1y rv Bluff citizen.

OUR FLAG

Do you know what our flag
means to you?
Did you ever stop to think what
we all have to do?
Give up home and friends for
the red, white and blue.
And stand by our flag and our
country so true.
Do we not all share in the free
dom of it?
So we. young and old. must do
all we can to help it:
Some give all they have, even
their best.
All for their flag without Uncle
Sans request.
Some give up friends and even
life.
And march to the tune of the
drum and the fife.
So we must work at home. if
We do not fight
For the land of the free and the
home of the right.
When you subscribe for a
newspaper. you want the one
containing the most news: that's
the American.
